Chapter 67 Crossing Yuzhou

In the evening, Bailong, Dao Xiaokai and others took the horse team to the Xinxiang people in Feihujian to rest overnight. There were men and women in the village. It seemed as Zhang Yinping said. They were the entire Xinxiang people who escaped and ran to this Feihujian. Bailong could see many women wearing homemade Xinxiang people's clothes holding dishes to entertain Bailong and others. The Xinxiang people were very enthusiastic when they saw Bailong.

The village is not big. There are less than 200 people from Xinxiang. In the evening, the tense minions in Feihujian are all Xinxiang people. There are about 80 men. There are about 100 women in the village. Xinxiang is on the right hinterland of Beiliang, so the people are brave and follow the concept of male superiority and female inferiority. Therefore, polygamy is very normal. Zhang Yinping and Bai Long said to Bai Long that he was the guard captain of the village when he was in Xinxiang and had some martial arts foundation, but he was not enough in front of Bai Long. He originally had three wives, but he got separated when he ran away. Now two of his three wives were snatched from the city from the beginning. When he said this to Bai Long, Zhang Yinping was not blocked at all. Instead, he thought it was a natural thing.

There were bonfires inside and outside the village, and women gathered around to eat outside. Only some women with the charm of Xinxiang were qualified to serve dishes and pour wine for the men. During the meal, Zhang Yinping said warmly to Bai Long, "Hero Bai, you are really the benefactor of our Xinxiang people. Since we were driven out of Xinxiang by Yuan Meng, the general under the command of the King of Liang, we have ended up being homeless. We have no choice but to escape all the way here. We originally wanted to escape to Luoyun City, and the men went to General Wang Hanping's Xiliu Camp to join the army and then seek a half-time position, but I heard that the war is happening now.

It was tight, and a battle to defend the city was almost dead, so everyone discussed not to leave their hometowns and become ghosts who left their hometowns, so they didn't look at joining the army, and found Feihujian. We drove away all the other bandits and hunters in the mountains, and had to live this kind of life of occupying the mountain and becoming kings and robbing families. In fact, we rarely robbed the people. Even if we met a horse team coming and going, they would just collect a small amount of goods and let them go. But in the late winter, the hamlet was short of clothes and food, and the women were erecting big belly one by one. There was no way to attack your benefactors."

Bai Long looked at Zhang Yinping's wife with a big belly next to her. It seemed that she had given birth in the past few days. Speaking of which, when she entered the village, she saw many women pregnant. Later, after asking, she found out that Xinxiang people thought that winter was the most suitable for childbirth, because the gods believed in Xinxiang people were born in winter, and in Beiliang, the snowy Beiliang, winter has a sense of washing away the dust, so Xinxiang people regard the children born in winter as children given to the tribe by God.

The horse team leader had enough food and drink, with a dazed expression and said meaningfully, "When I was young, I ran to Xinxiang. It's a good place. It's right in the border of Beiliang, right? The folk customs are quite simple, but now I see you wandering around in a foreign land, I really can't bear it." The horse team leader rubbed his wrinkled hands, Dao Xiaokai thought that these Xinxiang people lived well in Feihujian. As for what the horse team leader said, Dao Xiaokai, it might be because the Xinxiang side was like an ideal village that didn't close their doors at night and didn't pick up any leave on the road.

Zhang Yinping sighed, "Xinxiang is a big area, every household has its own land, and each family lives its own small life, and it is still rich. If Yuan Meng hadn't brought people to Xinxiang to catch people, our tribe would not be willing to run out of Xinxiang. In our eyes, our hometown would be a paradise." Zhang Yinping looked a pity. Looking at Zhang Yinping's face, several people could imagine a good scene of his hometown being suddenly invaded by a large number of soldiers and horses, and then murdering and setting fire.

Dao Xiaokai had always been a quick talk, and suddenly said, "Since you hate the officers and soldiers who invaded your hometown, they arrested you as strong men and exile, and you escaped here. But if you escaped here, wouldn't it be the same to be captured by women in the city and return to the village? Are you and Yuan Meng's powerful officials and bandits all the way?"

Everyone at the banquet was speechless by Dao Xiaokai's words.

After resting for a while, Zhang Yinping turned his mind and said, "You little brother, this is a bad word. You don't know. Now, the first city has encountered a very serious epidemic several months ago. It is very likely that the wounded people transported from the battlefield a few days ago were piled up on the Toucheng for treatment. I am afraid that the wounded people were infected and then caused by the wounded people. Now it has been finally controlled. Since the Yan Mansion entered Liancheng, Prince Yan's first order was to not allow the wounded people in Luoyun City to be transported to Liancheng or Toucheng for treatment. Because there are actually many doctors in the Toucheng, they were previously used as the rear formation for recuperation of the wounded people in Luoyun City.

Camp, now the epidemic is over, Prince Yan can just block the city gate directly. Although this decision is very heartless, the first place on the city is willing to respond. After all, the epidemic several months ago was as fierce as a tiger, and it took the lives of many people in the city. If there weren’t many doctors in the city who knew medicine, the city would probably have been killed by the epidemic. The women I brought up the mountain are all the daughters of poor families. Where can they have money to treat them, we will take them up the mountain and use the old prescriptions of our tribe to treat them. If these women continue to stay in the city, they will die of illness sooner or later. After being treated by us, they will all stay in the village voluntarily."

When Dao Xiaokai heard that this was the case, it was completely a misunderstanding, but it was not a big deal for Dao Xiaokai. After all, all the women I saw when I entered the village were wearing the ethnic costumes of Xinxiang people. How could I tell if they were the girls in the city? It seemed that these girls who were rescued from the village had already followed the customs.

"No, no."

After resolving the misunderstanding, everyone drank happily.

Zhang Yinping put down the wine cup and said angrily, "Our tribesman hates Yuan Meng and King Liang, but he can't avenge him. However, we heard that King Liang's army came from afar to attack Haowei City. A white swordsman killed Yuan Meng, one of the right-hand arms of King Liang under Haowei City. Our tribe members have always wanted to see this snow-white swordsman, but our tribe's benefactor. Today, when he saw Bai Daxia's cloth scarf blown by the wind, he thought that Bai Daxia could knock down the scorpion knife in my hand with one sword, he must be Bai Daxia, so he asked rashly."

The white dragon just said as light as a feather, "It is far from being the name of a hero."

The banquet ended. Although the Xinxiang people were enthusiastic during the meal, Bai Long did not drink much. He also told the horse team leader to get up early tomorrow and prepare the horse team. He left before dawn and did not stay in the village for a long time. The horse team leader agreed.

Before the next morning, Bailong woke up the last night's greedy Dao Xiaokai, who had been greedy last night, then pressed it into the cold water and washed his face roughly and threw it into the carriage. The leader of the horse team had already asked the coachman to prepare the carriage and goods. Zhang Yinping and other tribesmen also got up early to prepare some dry food and jerky on the road for Bai Long and others. Because the leader of the horse team did not allow the groom to drink while running, Bai Long and Dao Xiaokai who were traveling with him were not allowed to drink beside the horse team, so the grooms were not allowed to get greedy in their stomachs, so the wine sent by Zhang Yinping and others was rejected.

The sky was not yet completely bright outside the village gate. Zhang Yinping pointed out about the direction of his journey after leaving the door. The experienced horse team leader nodded and knew it.

The horse team drove out of the middle gate of the village

"Yingping, benefactor and the others left these, look." It is a slightly older man among the Xinxiang people. In terms of seniority, it should be the uncles of this generation who advocated Yinping. Those who are bigger than Zhang Yinping in the copycat can call him Yinping directly. They ran over panting and handed a small package to Zhang Yinping. The package was not heavy and the weight was very light. However, Zhang Yinping was shocked when he opened the package. There were more than a dozen silver notes of 100 taels. If all these silver notes were exchanged at the money house in the city, they could exchange at least more than a thousand silver amounts. Not to mention that these silver notes were enough for the entire copycat to survive the winter, even if the whole copycat had been eaten for three years, Zhang Yinping held more than a dozen silver notes and looked at the horse team that had already driven out of the village gate, Zhang Yinping felt a little touched. He really wanted to chase him out, but it was too late.

On the way, Dao Xiaokai heard Bai Long leave the silver notes given to him by the sect leader in the copycat to help the Xinxiang people through this cold winter, and shouted in surprise, "You gave them all? Even if you want to help them, you don't have to be so generous, at least you can keep some of them yourself, otherwise you will see what you do when you go to Jiangnan. The expenses there will be greater than you imagined." Dao Xiaokai looked complaining, and it seemed that he was going to follow Bai Long, who lives in poverty, to Jiangnan.

Bai Long smiled, then took out a 100-tall silver note from his arms and said, "I left this one, probably enough money for Jiangnan."

Dao Xiaokai gave Bai Long a blank look. He really couldn't figure out whether the guy in front of him had a grudge against silver. Fortunately, Bai Long left one, and Dao Xiaokai could only say helplessly, "Fortunately, you are not completely stupid and breathable, at least one left. I'll explain first that the money in my pocket is not enough, there is not much left. When you arrive at the next city gate, hurry up and find a money house in the city to exchange the silver notes. Maybe next time you will be generous and give away the one in your hand."

Bai Long pinched the silver notes with two fingers and handed them to Dao Xiaokai, and said lightly, "Here, you keep them."

Dao Xiaokai looked at Bai Long in surprise and joked, "You are so generous. This is only 100 taels of silver. How many people will never make money in their lifetime." Bai Long looked at Dao Xiaokai and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want it?" Dao Xiaokai quickly grabbed the silver notes from Bai Long and stuffed them into his arms like a treasure.

The road ahead was flat. Zhang Yinping pointed out that the road was indeed good. It was flat. The boundary of Yuzhou was easy to walk. It was smooth and comfortable to walk in the boundary of Yuzhou. As long as there were no bandits with clipping paths, Zhang Yinping said that the bandits in the nearby radius of 500 miles were colluding with each other. He had already sent a letter to all the leaders of the nearby radius of 500 miles, so that they must give them face to the Xinxiang people. When they saw Bailong, the benefactor, the horse team must not be intercepted. If they dared to intercept, they would be the enemy of the Xinxiang people. If nothing unexpected happens, the letters from Zhang Yinping have been received by Zhang Yinping. Bailong and their horse team were naturally flat in the boundary of Yuzhou. In less than two days, they could directly spread from the Yuzhou situation. After the outbreak of Yuzhou, they went directly to the Central Plains.

At the same time, Yu, the leader of Hedao Sect, said goodbye to Wang Hanping and the old city lord Tong. He felt relieved when he saw that Brother Wang's injuries were gradually improving. A few days ago, he received a letter from Bai Long, which clearly stated the plan of Prince Yan to burn Luoyun City. Yu, Wang Hanping and the old city lord Tong, had discussed it and deployed the corresponding plan. In short, Prince Yan's plan will not succeed.

Due to the loss of Luoyun City, there has been new movements in the capital. As the leader of Hedao Sect, he must hurry back to the capital as soon as possible. He specially said goodbye to Wang Hanping and left Haowei City.

Although Prince Yan ordered that the city be closed since Chenghuang Mountain Pass, for Yu, who has mastered the great light skills of my intention, it is a piece of cake to cross Chenghuang Mountain Pass. Even if he jumps through Liancheng, it is not a problem. Yu's feet are very strong and can be called a god. He passed Chenghuang Mountain Pass and Liancheng in one day, but he and Bailong took two routes completely, otherwise he might be able to catch up with Bailong and the others. In recent days, he has been thinking about this on Gaoling.

Luoyun City will sooner or later be lost, and it is captured by Chu Tian. It is a wise move for Prince Yan to move the front line to Liancheng. However, Prince Yan must have his own plans. He wants to take the opportunity to expand his strength, so he will not be able to see through it. However, it is just that it cannot be stopped now, because except for Prince Yan, it is difficult for the emperor to let the vassal kings of other surnames resist Chu Tian. Moreover, no eight vassal kings who are now enfeoffed are willing to be the first loyal minister to be loyal to the country.

Such a thing can only be done by Prince Yan, who has a ulterior motive.

In addition, Yu rushed back to the capital, and another thing was to show the emperor that Wang Hanping's loyalty to the country. Although the capital has always believed that Wang Hanping had died in the battle, in fact, Wang Hanping and Yu had discussed it and decided that Wang Hanping would not return to the capital for the time being, so that Yu would not spread the news that he was still alive in the world, and should just treat it as if he had died in the battle.
