Because Xiao Chengjun was in a carriage, with salutes and servants, he naturally walked slowly, and before he arrived in Minzhou, Lou Jing wanted to catch up quickly.
They followed the mark left by Yun Jiu all the way, crossed Qingzhou from the capital, and now they have just arrived at the border of Jiangzhou, and they have lost the trace of Xiao Chengjun Even if you walk slowly by carriage, it will be time to reach the south of Jiangzhou for most of the month "Master, my subordinates will go to the path to explore again, maybe they have taken the path."
Yun Yi was lifted by the collar, and he did not panic at all.
Lou Jing let go of his hand and looked around, they were walking on the official road, it was noon at this time, and there was no one on the spacious avenue, "What is the nearest town from here?"
Yun Er, who is good at remembering the terrain, immediately stepped forward, "This is the south of Yunyang County, the nearest county seat is Zhoushan County, and one hundred and twenty miles ahead is Xunyang County, and Xunyang County is the place where the river is crossed." ” Lou Jing took a deep breath, "Yun Yi went to the nearby trail to find a mark, and Yun Ba went around to see if there was anything wrong." ” "Yes."
The two of them turned on their horses and took their orders.
From the moment he stepped into Jiangzhou, Lou Jing felt that something was wrong, not only was the official road too quiet, but he always felt that the situation around him was a little unusual, but he couldn't say what was unusual.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Lou Jing got up and walked quickly into the forest behind him.
Small forests are planted on both sides of the official road, and through the woods, there is a field.
It is now the end of March, and the wheat in the field has been tasseled, but it is not yet ripe, and it is green.
It's just that the green stalks are almost all stalks, and they are staggering, and the unripe ears of wheat are gone Lou Jing picked up a handful of straw that was thrown on the ground, and finally understood where the strange place was, there was a lack of water in the north of Jiangzhou, and rice was not planted.
Most of the ears of wheat were empty in March, and it was impossible to harvest them now, and even if the mountains were to make a rebellion, the fields would not be ruined.
"Master, a fence has been set up in the nearby village, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, and there are young men with knives guarding the entrance of the village," Yun Ba rode over quickly, dismounting, and reported, "Many ragged people are crowded in the land temple outside the village, and their subordinates dare not approach. ” Although the nine of them were all strong in martial arts, there were hundreds of them there, so for the sake of caution, Yun Ba did not step forward to investigate, and rode away after watching from a distance for a while.
Lou Jing's brows gradually frowned, looking at the fields full of locusts transiting, there is no doubt that there are people fleeing here, and there are a lot of people If there are a large number of refugees in Jiangzhou, then the road is indeed difficult to walk, although Xiao Chengjun's carriage does not look very luxurious on the outside, but it is definitely good material, walking in Jiangzhou full of refugees like this, the danger it faces can be imagined.
The bandits will still estimate the officers and soldiers, and the refugees are very hungry, but it doesn't matter who you are.
"Master, behind the dirt road stele in front, I found Yun Jiu's mark," Yun ran over with a solemn expression, a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, they went to Xunyang." ” Lou Jing bowed slightly, but he couldn't let go of his heart, "Let's follow." ” "Master," Yun Yi wiped the sweat from his face, "the dirt road is full of refugees, my subordinates went to investigate, and we were almost surrounded by them, we have to leave the official road quickly, there are refugees chasing this side." ” Lou Jing looked at Yun Yi, who was covered in dust, and immediately made a decision, turned over and got on his horse, "Go to Xunyang." ” Since Yun Jiu would leave such a specific mark, it must be because the official road was full of refugees at that time, and they rushed to Xunyang in front of the refugees.
Although he believed in Xiao Chengjun's strategy in his heart, and he also had Youyun Bawei by his side, Lou Jing still couldn't stop worrying.
I never thought that a hundred and twenty miles would be so long.
When it was dark, Lou Jing and the others finally arrived at the outskirts of Xunyang, and the official road suddenly became impassable, and dozens of ragged men blocked the road, and their eyes were green when they saw these nine people.
Lou Jing Lema looked coldly at these people with stones and sticks.
"Hand over all the money and food" Seeing that these people were not afraid at all, those refugees were a little worried, and greedily swept around Lou Jing and the others, and those sturdy horses alone were enough to eat several meals, and they suddenly became a little bolder.
"Get out of the way" Yun Wu and Yun Liu, who were close guards, pulled out their sabers with a bang.
The refugees shrank for a moment, hesitated and retreated, and a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man at the head said loudly: "Don't be afraid of them, there are many of us, shoot them with stones."
Everyone immediately retreated and began to throw stones here, Yun Wuyi split the stones flying towards Lou Jing, Lou Jing couldn't bear to entangle with them, rode his horse and rushed forward, raised the horse whip in his hand, and whipped the nearest person in the face.
The man immediately fell to the ground with a howl, and the sweaty front hooves of the BMW rushed forward unhindered, and those people were frightened by Lou Jing's fierceness, and fled in all directions screaming.
The city wall of Xunyang City is three zhang high, impregnable, now it is just dusk, the city gate has been tightly closed, a circle of officers and soldiers holding spears will firmly surround the city, the black pressure of the refugees is driven in the area three zhang away from the city, or sit or stand, each face is like a vegetable, the eyes or despair or resentment, thousands, it is very terrifying.
Youyun Bawei and all of them pulled out their swords and surrounded Lou Jing in the middle, and some people who were about to move, seeing these people full of evil energy, finally didn't dare to approach.
"Master, Xunyang City has been closed for more than ten days, and no one is allowed to enter."
Yun Ba went to ask for the news, and learned that these refugees came from Qingzhou, walked south along the road, and could not cross the river in Xunyang, and they were all crowded outside Xunyang City, and the Xunyang County Guard did not dare to open the city gate, so he transferred officers and soldiers to guard the city.
In such a situation, it is difficult to enter the city, but it is not completely impossible.
Lou Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at the heavily guarded Xunyang City, "Go look for the mark." ” Thirty miles outside Xunyang City.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Linjiang today."
Yun Shi looked at the surrounding terrain and stepped forward.
Xiao Chengjun bowed slightly, "Let's find a place to rest." ” They are now in a small village and town, which should have been the grange of a large family, but unfortunately it is empty, the doors and windows are broken, and it is estimated that they have been looted by those refugees.
"Your Highness, this kind of big mansion is the easiest to attract thieves to worry about, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time."
Yun Jiu said cautiously.
Refugees transit, this kind of grange mansion is naturally the first to bear the brunt, whether it is a thief, a robber or a hungry people, when they see this house, they will definitely come to explore, the most dangerous.
Yun Sixteen, who went to explore the way, ran over, "Your Highness, there is a City God Temple five miles ahead. ” The temple is very spacious, and because it is built behind a dense forest, not many people find this sheltered place.
The courtyard wall was already dilapidated, and there was a bonfire burning in the main hall, and seven or eight haggard-looking people gathered around, staring vigilantly at Xiao Chengjun and his party.
Yun 13 and Yun 12 went in first, swept out a clean place on the west side of the temple, tore off the red cloak on the statue and spread it on the ground, and put a fur blanket on it, and then invited Xiao Chengjun to go in and rest.
Xiao Chengjun sat on the blanket, and Youyun Bawei quickly lit the bonfire with his hands and feet, took out dry food, and roasted it on the fire.
When the refugees saw the posture of these people, they did not dare to offend, so they consciously shrank into the corner.
Looking at the almost omnipotent Eight Guards of Youyun in front of him, Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but feel a little emotional, the commander, the terrain, the assassination, the bow and arrow, the wound healing, the way exploration, the two guards, these eight people together are almost invincible.
Out of the capital, Yun Shiyi, who was in charge of assassination, found that someone was following them, Xiao Chengjun asked An Shun and a group of servants to follow the carriage, escorted by Lu Zhao and the twenty people to go first, he and Youyun Bawei stayed in Qingzhou for a few days, and when those people completely went away, they went to Jiangzhou "Get out of the way of Lao Tzu" A neutral voice came from the courtyard, with a bit of murderous aura.
"Oh no, I've met a bandit."

The refugees were lying on the window and watching, frightened, but this small temple only had one door, and there was no way to avoid it.
Not long after, five or six big men with tigers on their backs walked in, at that time, two people in the Eight Guards of Youyun went to settle the horses, one went to look for ingredients, and Yun Jiu went to the vicinity to make markers, and there were only four people guarding Xiao Chengjun's side.
The group of big men were either holding big knives or hammers in their hands, and two live chickens flapping their wings in their hands, and one of them was dark-skinned, with a face full of meat, and an ugly scar from his forehead to his cheeks, which added a bit of fierceness.
The man with the scar walked back and forth between the two groups of people in the temple, and as soon as he raised his hand, a man who was eight feet tall walked up to the refugees and shouted, "If you want to live, take out all the valuable things on your body." ” "Uncle, we are fleeing, how can we have any money" Before one person finished speaking, he was kicked in the heart by the man, kicked out a foot away, and immediately shrank into a ball with a scream.
"Uncle spares his life, that's all we have."
The rest of the people didn't dare to say more, so they dug out their bodies for a long time and made up dozens of copper plates.
Xiao Chengjun motioned to Youyunwei to be calm and calm, and looked at these mountain bandits with an immobile expression.
Scarface looked back and forth on Xiao Chengjun, who was luxuriously dressed, and looked at the four guards in strong suits beside him, seemed to weigh it, and said coldly: "You guys, hurry up and hand over the money."
Yun Thirteen, who was in charge of close guards, drew his saber and made a deep cut on the ground with a shake of his hand, and the temple was paved with thick bluestone floor tiles, but Yun Thirteen was like cutting tofu.
The scarred man's pupils shrank, and the four people behind him immediately picked up the weapons in their hands and looked at them viciously.
Xiao Chengjun raised his chin towards Yun Fourteen, and Yun Fourteen understood, and took out a bag, "A few heroes, my son-in-law passed by here to rest, and he didn't want to entangle with you, so he used this knife mark as the boundary, and it has nothing to do with each other." ” As he spoke, he threw the bag in his hand at the man with the scar.
This is a combination of grace and power, on the one hand, to deter them from daring to move, and on the other hand, to give some sweetness, which means that our side is highly armed and strong, but we are too lazy to deal with you, and we take money and do not interfere with each other.
Youyunwei is very good at kung fu, only two people can take down these people, but Xiao Chengjun's status is noble, and now the situation is special, and he can't reveal his identity, so he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Scarface weighed the silver in his hand, which weighed at least twenty taels, and suddenly showed a somewhat satisfied look.
"Boss, it's a fat sheep."
The man with the hammer whispered.
"Fat sheep, you have to have a life to eat."
Scarface knew the severity, waved his hand and let the brothers sit on the futon under the idol, and make a fire to roast the chicken to eat.
Yun Jiu hasn't come back yet, but the two who tied the horses have returned, Xiao Chengjun took a bite of the roasted dry steamed bun, he didn't have much appetite, but he still barely ate a whole piece.
There was silence in the temple, except for the crackling of flames burning the branches.
The man with the scar has been looking at Xiao Chengjun's side, and when he saw that there were six guards beside him, he looked at the others, this person has so many subordinates, if they can fight like the one who swings the knife, why do they have to give them money, perhaps, only that one person is powerful.
Looking at the saber on Xiao Chengjun's body, the mutton fat jade buckle on the single sword spike was worth a hundred taels of silver, and the eyes of several thieves couldn't help but be a little red.
After a moment of silence, the big man with the knife and the big man with the hammer suddenly jumped up and attacked Yun Thirteen together, while the man with the scar rushed directly towards Xiao Chengjun.
"Yuanlang" Lou Jing entered this small temple, and saw a pair of dirty hands, beckoning to his husband The author has something to say: It's late today, I'm sorry everyone, I'll pick up the code after eating, and try to get early tomorrow I stayed up late last night to read the novel, which led to a malaise all day today, cough cough, so the villain of the novel I confessed to read should brush up on the favorability of the villain's belly and black beauty, and the attack couldn't be more beautiful, whooping, hugging his head, jumping Little Orange Girl Throws a Mine Throwing Time: 2013100719:08:48 Wake throws a grenade at Throwing Time: 2013100711:19:17 Wake throws a mineThrow Time: 2013100711:18:17 Wake throws a mineThrowing Time: 2013100711:17:07 Strengthsou threw a mine throwing time: 2013100708:49:45 Su Nianjin threw a mine Throwing Time: 2013100623:59:47 Vane threw a mine throwing time: 2013100622:34:32 Old K threw a mine throwing time: 2013100620:40:58 Thank you, grown-ups, mines, grenades, ╭╮gd1806102:
