Chapter three hundred and ninety sixth Liaocheng news
Liaocheng County, located in the west of Dongshan Province, was also the place where Qi and Zhao met.
As soon as Lin Ze and his party stepped into the boundary of Liaocheng County, what appeared in front of Lin Ze was a scene of war.
The road was full of people fleeing with their families and families, old and young, looking as if they were fleeing from a scourge.
Without exception, these fleeing people will have more or less crude weapons in their hands, and they will not flee one family at a time, but in groups.
Lin Ze, who hid his face under a large bamboo hat, pointed to a place in front of him and ordered Wu Fan beside him: "Go and stop those carriages. They should be big families in Liaocheng County. Maybe they know some news about the rebellion."
."
Wu Fan looked in the direction Lin Ze pointed. It was a convoy of six carriages and dozens of knights. It was particularly conspicuous among the many people who used oxcarts to pull people.
Wu Fan immediately nodded, greeted his two men, and rode towards the convoy.
The arrival of Wu Fan and the others quickly attracted the attention of the team.
A middle-aged man, who was probably one of the leaders of the convoy, quickly stopped in front of Wu Fan with a few guards, and said with a wary look: "Sir, stop, this is a private convoy and does not accept outsiders. I hope you will not cause any trouble."
I'm waiting for a misunderstanding."
Does this mean that we are regarded as refugees? Wu Fan was speechless for a while, and the aura of the fourth level circulated slightly. It was not until the middle-aged man's face changed slightly that he said: "Please tell your master, my lord wants to ask a few questions.
He will wait with me for a while."
As he spoke, he pointed to Lin Ze and others not far away, who were staying on the hillside and looking in all directions.
The middle-aged man's face darkened when he heard this, and he said angrily: "I don't know what you mean. Although I don't know who your master is, your trick is the highlight. This is the Tian family's fleet, and it is not something you and I can bully."
Wu Fan acted very calmly and said calmly: "You don't have the final say whether you bully or not. I'm just telling you that my family has a noble status, and the Tian family may not take it seriously. If you are really from the Tian family, don't
It will easily bring disaster to the family. It is better to inform your master. If something goes wrong, my lord is generous and may not blame you, but I am afraid that your master will not be able to spare you."
Wu Fan's plain yet majestic words made the middle-aged man filled with anger and fear at the same time. If it was true as the person in front of him said, the other party came from a force that even the Tian family didn't look down on. It was indeed not someone he could offend easily.
of.
However, if I want to see the head of the family, I am afraid that such a sentence is not enough.
The middle-aged man was about to refuse when the door of a stalled carriage behind him was opened. A majestic middle-aged man in rich clothes stood on the carriage and yelled: "Tian Fang, what happened? Why didn't you stop?
forward?"
The middle-aged man, who was called Tian Fang, quickly turned around and cupped his hands and replied: "To inform the master of the family, there is someone blocking the road ahead, saying that an adult wants to see you. I failed to drive him away. Please forgive me, the master of the family."
The man in fine clothes frowned and said, "Where are you from? I'm warning them that if they don't leave, they'll all be beaten to death and thrown to the roadside. Anyway, there's a rebellion, so if a few people die, it won't be a big deal."
Tian Fang said helplessly: "There are three fourth-grade warriors on the other side, and one of them is the younger one. I'm afraid there's no way he can do it."
Upon hearing this, the man in rich clothes jumped up and landed in front of Wu Fan and others. He said with a gloomy face: "How dare a few fourth-grade men dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Tian family? Are you seeking death?"
As he spoke, the aura of the fifth-level martial artist was pressing towards Wu Fan and others unscrupulously, and then he shouted in a cold voice: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Wu Fan turned a blind eye to the oncoming pressure, turned slightly sideways and pointed in the direction of the hillside where Lin Ze and others were staying, and said, "My master is waiting for you there. If you want to know, why don't you ask yourself?"
The man in rich clothes followed Wu Fan's guidance and found that there were more than a dozen riders standing on the hillside not far away. Except for the first five, whose depth could not be seen, the others were all in the fourth level. He was shocked and looked again.
Taking one look at Wu Fan's half-smiling expression, he snorted coldly: "Pretend to be a ghost."
Wu Fan said with neither arrogance nor humility: "Whether you are pretending to be a ghost or not, you will know when you go over and take a look. By the way, at first glance, you are a nobleman from the Tian family of the Qidi martial arts family. You won't be afraid, right?"
The face of the man in fine clothes froze, and he was suddenly told what was on his mind. His face was a little uneasy, and he said angrily: "Master, I want to see who the saint is today?" Then he said hello behind him: "Old Fisherman"
How about coming with me and taking a look?"
As soon as the voice fell, an old figure jumped out of a carriage and landed steadily behind the man in rich clothes. A hoarse voice replied: "Follow the Fourth Master's order."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wu Fan smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, please."
The man in rich clothes took "Yu Lao" and strode towards the hillside. It wasn't that he was really stupid enough to run over when Wu Fan provoked him, but he and Yu Lao were the only two fifth-level people in his convoy.
For realm warriors, if the other party is really powerful and the person who comes is not kind, even if he doesn't go, he may not be able to escape. It is better to be more submissive and see if things turn around. After all, the Tian family still has some prestige.
Coming from a martial arts family, he was taught to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages since childhood, which taught him that when faced with a strong person, sometimes obedience can survive longer than resistance.
Seeing that Wu Fan had brought two people, one middle school student and one senior citizen, Lin Ze didn't even bother to ask about their origins and went straight to the point and asked: "You guys escaped from Liaocheng County. What is the current situation in Liaocheng County? Let's talk about it."
The young man's voice? Which family is this boy from? The man in fine clothes looked up and stared at Lin Ze, trying to figure out Lin Ze's origin. He carefully reported his birth certificate and said: "Qi Di Tian's family Tian Guang, I wonder who you are?"
A member of the Tian family? No wonder he can travel with an escort carriage.
Lin Ze replied calmly: "You don't need to know my origin. You only need to tell me the latest situation in Liaocheng County and why these people have fled. After that, you can leave. I will never
It’s hard for you.”
An angry look appeared on Tian Guang's face: "My Tian family..."
Lin Ze interrupted in a cold voice: "I don't want to hear your story about the Tian family." After saying this, the sixth-grade man's momentum immediately subsided, forcing Tian Guang to take two steps back.
Sixth-grade? Tian Guang's face is pale. No wonder he has the confidence not to care about the Tian family. Being able to train such a young sixth-grade warrior is indeed not comparable to that of today's Tian family.
While mourning, endless humiliation welled up in Tian Guang's heart, and he secretly hated himself: If the Tian family was still the Qi royal family, how could a mere sixth-rank person be looked down upon by the Tian family? How dare Shuzi bully me like this?
After all, a noble family is a noble family. Tian Guang quickly hid his emotions and said with a wry smile on his face: "Lu Goujian gathered a crowd to rebel and captured Liaocheng, the government office of Liaocheng County. The rangers from Qi and Zhao responded one after another. Now the entire Liaocheng County is here.
Occupied by the rebel party, these people do not want to suffer military disasters, so they naturally have to flee."
Lin Ze frowned and said, "Rebels from the party are preying on the common people?"
Tian Guang waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not true. Most of those rebellious rangers are locals. How could they attack their own villagers? They basically target the aristocratic families who help the government manage the place. The people are relatively safe at most.
Get some food, or come over and propose marriage."
Lin Ze rolled his eyes. Being robbed of money and forcibly married, how could he still be considered safe? The aristocratic family looks at problems from a different perspective than ordinary people.
"As far as I know, your Tian family is also a family that works for the government. There are many people in the family who serve in the local government. Can the rebels let you go?"
An unnatural look flashed across Tian Guang's face and he said: "After I heard about the rebellion, I immediately escaped from Liaocheng, so I survived."
Such a coincidence? Lin Ze sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Then why do the people run away?"
Tian Guang sighed and said: "Don't look at how powerful the rebels are now, but sooner or later they will attract the Qin army to suppress the rebellion. Defeat is inevitable sooner or later. The people are fleeing because they are afraid of being implicated by the rebels and the government will settle accounts later."
Lin Ze frowned slightly and said, "It's been almost a month and the government hasn't put down the rebellion yet?"
Tian Guang took a deep look at Lin Ze and replied: "The governor of Dongshan Province organized a large army to counter the rebellion, but failed miserably. I guess he has already sent a letter to Chang'an to send a large army to suppress the rebellion."
"As for Beihe Province, although it is on the edge of Liaocheng County, Liaocheng County is not within Beihe. Naturally, the Governor of Beihe will not go overboard and send troops to quell the rebellion."
Counterinsurgency failed?
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Ze's mouth. It was the Governor's Mansion that held regular troops. It would fail against a group of rangers. This rebellion must be a deliberate plan.
It's better to ask for directions by casting stones.
Lin Ze asked some other questions, such as how strong Lu Goujian was, how many masters he had under his command, etc.
After asking, Lin Ze said calmly to Tian Guang: "I'm sorry to bother you two, please do as you please."
Tian Guang breathed a sigh of relief, but said calmly: "Then I'll take my leave." After saying that, he slowly left.
After walking a few steps and seeing that Lin Ze had not made any move, Tian Guang suddenly turned around and said, "If you want to enter the city, you'd better go in groups. After all, you and your group are too conspicuous standing together."
Lin Ze looked at Tian Guang interestingly and said, "Can you see that I want to enter the city?"
Tian Guang said seriously: "If you didn't want to go to the city, why would you ask so many questions? I would like to remind you that I have no other ideas. I just want to make friends with you."
After saying this, Tian Guang bowed his hands and left.
Lin Ze looked at Tian Guang's leaving figure, thoughtfully.
