Chapter 16 News
Everyone left the Xuanyun Cave and went to the small town at the foot of the mountain. Since it was close to the front line, there were a lot of soldiers and military supplies coming and going, and the town that seemed very peaceful was very lively. Everyone did not dare to stay here for too long, so they hurriedly asked the pedestrians where the station was, and hurriedly rented two carriages at the station and drove towards Jianzi City.
To be honest, everyone is very nervous now. Although they have prepared fake customs documents and have all dressed up, they are not afraid of ten thousand, but they are afraid of what if. In the town, they have not found out about the news, but their eyes are on their faces, and they will also look at it. The places where the town imported are very obvious, the wanted figures of Ai, Qingye, Soldier Armor and the four sisters, especially the large silver reward numbers written on it, which is even more shocking. 300,000 taels of silver, God, so much silver is enough to make everyone crazy. You must know that the average family of three in the Tufang Empire only costs more than one tael of silver. You can buy acre of good water land with more than forty taels of silver. What does 300,000 taels mean? It is the amount of money that can be sold for both parents.
"Master, why are you going to Jianzi City? It's a messy place, it's not a good place to go." The coachman asked casually. There was no peace in this year, especially near Jianzi City. People who came over there said that all the people who could run there were running away, and at present, only the soldiers, the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and it was very messy. If it weren't for the fact that the car paid by the master was enough, he would really not want to take the bus, which would be too dangerous. Also, except for him, the master, all the other women were female relatives, which would be too unauthentic?
"Go and find a relative," Ai Ming said perfunctorily, asking, "By the way, is there any new news recently? Did the one named Ai Ming find it?"
"Master, is Ai Maomao that easy to catch? If it were easy to catch, he would have been beheaded long ago. Have you not seen his wanted notice posted in the town now?" The coachman is a talkative person and likes to chat with people very much.
Ai Mai? What? But Ai Ming didn't dare to ask too much. How could he know that now, from princes and ministers to common people, all the Tufang Empire hated him to the core and gave him a nickname called Ai Mai, which means that Ai Mai was one level lower than a fly. "Tell me, I'm idle anyway, I'm still idle. To be honest, I just heard that Ai Ming is worth a lot of money, but what's going on?" Ai Ming spied carefully.
"Master, you know at first glance that you don't go out, and you don't know such a big thing," the coachman laughed. Yes, who would be as ignorant as this master, and only brings women out. The world is not peaceful and chaotic now, and you are not afraid of something happening. I admire you. "Master, don't you Ai Ming, who is called Ai Ming, that boy. Now we call him Ai Maomao. Is he worthy of being named?"
"Yes, yes, Ai Maggie, Ai Maggie." Ai Ming nodded awkwardly, calling himself a maggie, so cowardly.
"Master, you don't know, Ai Maomao was originally in charge of the large warehouse in Beijing. Just a few months ago, when we were about to fight with the Yasi Empire, the boy secretly carried out the silver and things in the warehouse he was in charge and ran away. It is said that the things he took away were worth tens of millions of taels of silver. Now it's terrible that we are suffering. You think, he is in charge of the military material warehouse, but well, he ran away, leaving a mess for people to wipe his butt. Many people lost their heads for this matter."
"I know this, what happened later?" Ai Ming asked, alas, he left in a hurry and forgot to remind sister Mo Chouyue, hoping that she would not have anything to do. Should she call her and apologize?
"Later? Let's lose the battle. You think that everything was hollowed out by Ai Maomao and let the soldiers fight with Yasi's people. Can they be defeated? Fortunately, we are the generals and the Jianzi City is not lost. I heard that the Lima City in the west has been broken, many places have been lost, and many people have died. Do you think we can't hate him?" said the coachman.
"It should be hated." Ai Ming said, but he didn't expect that the coachman was quite patriotic.
"Master, you don't know that our town was very lively a few months ago. It is said that after the maggot rolled up the things, he ran all the way to our place. After arriving here, there would be no sign. You think if you catch him, you won't have to worry about the next life. So, people from all directions rushed to us. There are so many people, it's so lively."
"Oh? The people in the town are so rich. So many people eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep. Don't you buy too much in the town?" Ai Ming said with a smile.
"That's a big deal, it's good to have not been tortured to death. First, a group of soldiers came to make trouble in the town, and the mayor was also beheaded, and there were several people accompanying him on the road. Later, there were fewer soldiers, but there were more bounty hunters to catch maggots, and the people in the town were so unlucky. Master, you don't know that there were many people in the town in those days, and there were not even any places to get the lead. If there were too many people, there would be no trouble. Either this or that, there were people fighting every day, and people died every day. I've seen it with my own eyes. That time I was waiting for a job at the intersection of the street, and I saw two swords facing each other for some reason. I stared at each other for a long time, and then started fighting. The fight was so wonderful. They flew around in the sky, and were not afraid of falling and hitting people. Later, somehow they all scattered again." The coachman said this and shook his head.
Ai Ming smiled bitterly. Things were getting big. I wonder if I could go out after going to Jianzi City. "What happened later?"
"Later? Later, people saw that they could not find the maggots, so they naturally scattered. Thinking about those days, they were really not a human being. People in the town were worried all day long, for fear that one day a hero would be beaten and fallen on the roof and smash a big hole into the roof. For example, Ergouzi's house, the roof was smashed and leaked, and his mother was smashed by the falling citron. Also, the only inn in the town was beaten and collapsed. No one came out to pay for the money afterwards. The iron cock was so distressed that the crying sounded thousands of miles away. Even the bounty hunter who came to the town was shocked. Those who didn't know thought that the iron cock was practicing. "When they said this, the coachman gloated and laughed. It seemed that the inn owner named the iron cock was not liked by anyone.
"Master, you're strange. I also saw a few old men and women swaying on the street with swords and swords. You said that they were all old and old, and most of them were almost buried in the soil to join in the fun. I'm afraid I didn't see the maggots, and I would be paralyzed when the wind blew."
Lan Ruo, who was sitting next to him, saw the coachman talking interestingly, burst out laughing.
Seeing that Lan Ruo smiled, the coachman showed off his eloquence and said something in a scent. Although Lan Ruo covered his face with a gauze scarf, he looked like a beauty. How could the coachman not be excited?
While we were chatting, at noon, the car stopped by a village. Although the war had ended, the teleportation point was requisitioned by the army to transport personnel and supplies. Ordinary people could only rely on two legs or hire carriages to travel. Therefore, a convenient tool like a carriage can be said to be a fortune, and the price has also risen, three or four times that of usual. So, two or three carriages are tied outside the tea shop next to the village.
"Oh, isn't this Ergouzi? Why are you back soon? Nothing happened?" Ai Ming's coachman tied the horse and turned around and saw an acquaintance sitting in the tea shop.
"Hurry up, I'm going to live. I thought you're a cat woman couldn't get out of your stomach." Ergouzi greeted with a smile, "Haha, Mr. Wang, you're here too, you're here."
The coachman following Ai Ming Car seemed to be a character. When the coachman in the tea shop saw him coming in, he stood up and greeted him.
Uncle Wang nodded with a smile, tied the carriage first, moved a small stool to the ground, and asked the four sisters to come out, then straightened up and said, "Ergouzi, Tiedan, why are you back so soon? I guess you have only been leaving for a few days?"
"Uncle Wang, you are so terrible. The guests we sent to get off the bus in Deng Guang halfway before they arrived at Jianzi City. However, the fare was not small, and I saved a few meals. Anyway, I couldn't get a few jobs when I went to Jianzi City, so we were too lazy to pay attention. It would be better if I went back early. Uncle Wang, where are you pulling the guests?" Tiedan came over to say hello.
"Scissor City." Uncle Wang spoke, and took off the carriage on his back, intending to buy some food in the tea shop.
Tiedan took the bag from Uncle Wang attentively and said, "Uncle Wang, you said this is a terrible thing. In the past, I could have met someone who went to Jianzi City. Why have you been going to that place these days? Yesterday I met a group of people who went in that direction."
"What's so much trouble for you? Don't you understand what it means to make a fortune? No matter how much trouble you have, you will suffer from trouble. Okay, help me." Uncle Wang started to pick up water from the well next to him, and Tiedan hurriedly followed him.
Ai Ming's heart moved and shouted, "What's your name? Ergouzi here." After that, he walked into the tea shop and sat down. He saw that the doctor in the tea shop brought a large flower bowl and walked over with a teapot, wanting to pour tea for Ai Ming. Dongmei next to him hurriedly stopped it, asked Ai Ming to get up, put a soft pad under his stool, and then let Ai Ming sit down, and quickly took out a tablecloth to spread it on the table, then took out a set of tea sets and tea leaves to put it on the table, and carried the teapot that he brought to signal to Dr. Tea to take it and pick it up, and sat on the fire. All this made Ai Ming and the drivers around him stunned. Ai Ming thought when did he get such a bad habit? Is it so troublesome to drink tea in the tea shop?
Ergouzi ran over quickly, nodded and said to Ai Ming: "Master, what are your instructions?"
Ai Ming thought for a while and said, "Your name is Ergouzi, right? I heard that there are a group of people walking in front of us. What kind of person are they?"
"Master, you've asked people. When the young man looked at them, he took a few special attention. There were six or seven people, all of whom were great guys. They looked like servants from wealthy families, and they were proud. But they might not have brought any money. They walked with two legs without the village or the back, but they walked quickly, like a rabbit, and passed by in one go." Ergouzi saw Ai Ming's situation and saw that he was rich, so he said carefully that the group of people with more distinctive heights, hoping that Ai Ming would give more rewards.
Ai Ming thought about it and it must have nothing to do with him, so he waved Ergouzi to retreat. Qiuju gave him a reward next to him. Ergouzi smiled and took a few copper coins from Qiuju's hand, put them in his hand, and put them in his arms with satisfaction.
After a while, the teapot opened. Dr. Tea brought it over. Xia Zhu took it from him and poured water for everyone. Dongmei also took out the food from the package and placed it on the table for everyone to eat and use it. The coachmen also drank horses and unloaded the trucks. After that, they went to the tea shop and ordered some food to eat. After eating, they rested for a while, invited Ai Ming and others to get on the carriage and rushed forward.
I had nothing to say all the way. After walking for three or four days, the carriage passed by a small city called Deng Guang. From a distance, there was thick smoke coming from inside to outside that small city, and it looked like a fire.
"Uncle Wang, what's going on? It seems that something big happened to Deng, and it's all red." He quickly opened his mouth and shouted to Uncle Wang who was following behind.
"Huo..." Uncle Wang stopped the carriage, looked up, looked for a while, walked to Ai Ming's carriage and said, "Mr. Wen, you see, something seems to have happened in front of you. Should we take a detour? But if you want to take a detour, I'm afraid it will take you half a day. Look." Ai Ming is now using a pseudonym, called Wen.
Ai Ming also noticed the situation before. After hearing what Mr. Wang said, why are he unwilling to do so? What he feared the most now is troubles, "Okay, let's go around, where is the front, what happened?"
Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "It's Deng Guang in front. It seems that it's on fire. It's not too small." After that, he saluted Ai Ming, returned to the back and drove the carriage in front of Ai Ming's vehicle, and took the lead. Uncle Wang has been a coachman on this road for hundreds of years and is very familiar with the road conditions. He is a novice. Normally, Uncle Wang walks behind to take care of him. When he turns around, he naturally puts himself who is familiar with the road conditions in front.
The car walked forward again and saw something was wrong. It was far away just now, and I thought that Deng Guang's place was in flames and closer, so I could see it more clearly. It seemed that Deng Guang's entire city was in full swing, with thick smoke rolling and a huge momentum. Everyone dared not delay, for fear that something would happen, so they drove the carriage quickly and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Just as this was the case, a man came out of the grass beside him and grabbed the mule that Mr. Wang was driven by. The mule was frightened and kicked the hooves upwards. However, the man's hands were so powerful that he pulled the horse tightly. The mule couldn't get up at all. Gradually, the mule calmed down and only his mouth was worn out by the chew and blood was leaked out.
Unshocked, Uncle Wang quickly got out of the car, rushed to the man in the walkway for three steps, hugged his fists, and said, "You are a problem? The youngest is Wang Da, the coachman of Juyuan's carriage and horses. If you have something to do, you will say." Uncle Wang said it was neither humble nor arrogant. He had too many Taoist scriptures, and nothing happened. In addition, the owner of Juyuan's carriage and horses was Qian'an Xiong Renping. Any brothers who were stumbling on the nearby road would give him some face.
"Wang Da, right? The man is tired of walking and wants to take a car and take a walk, okay?" This man didn't see through the man who looked like a man, but as soon as he spoke, he knew that he was not a good guy. At a glance, he knew that he was a brother who was lying on the road.
Uncle Wang was embarrassed and said, "You have seen this, you are still pulling customers. It's not empty car, but there are female relatives on the car, which is really inconvenient." The rules of the car dealership, no matter what troublesome things can alarm the customers. It is reasonable for Wang Da to say this.
"I won't tell you anymore, I will discuss it with the car owner." After saying that, he walked to the front of the car in all directions, looked at the tightly covered door faces of the car, and bowed and said, "I'm tired of walking, I want to ask for convenience from the people in the car and take a ride. I don't know if the people in the car may agree?" After saying that, the two hands pinched each other, and the bones of the hand were clattering.
Wang Da’s car was filled with the four Dongmei sisters, of course they couldn’t speak. Ai Ming, who was following behind, was impatient, poked his head out of the car and shouted, “What are you talking about? Drive him away.”
As soon as Ai Ming finished speaking, several people ran out from the corner of the road ahead, walking towards here with swords in their hands. Uncle Wang first discovered these people, and Feng Dazhan also found something from Wang Da's discolored eyes. When he looked back, he was shocked. He turned around and leaped into the grass without caring about his entanglement with Ai Ming and others. Those people also saw Feng Dazhan, shouted loudly, and chased after him. In a blink of an eye, these people disappeared.
Wang Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Ai Ming who was poking his head out of the car, and became alert. Most people were timid and afraid to come forward when they saw the situation just now, but this passenger named Wen Zhang drove them away very angry. Otherwise, who would dare to do so? Wang Da touched the mule's mouth with his hand in pain. The wind Dazhan was so cruel that he pulled the mule's mouth so hard that it cracked. He shook his head, did not dare to delay, and turned back to the carriage and walked forward.
As he was walking, he saw the wind coming towards him, and ran over again. Wang Da glanced at him strangely, thinking to himself, thinking to himself, what's wrong with this guy? He saw that he was running back, why did he run to the front again? Just as he was thinking, the few people chasing the wind came over and ran over again. Wang Da scratched his head and hurriedly walked out, and the right and wrong place could be as far as he could.
"Damn it, it's evil." Wang Da couldn't help but speak dirty words and stopped the car. On the open ground in front of him, Feng Dazhan somehow appeared again, but he was very unlucky. As soon as he showed up, he heard him rolling onto the ground, blood emerged from his back. Feng Dazhan kicked his feet and moved a few meters away.
"Run, why don't you run?" A man came out of the grass, cursing with a knife in his hand, and two more people emerged from behind him.
Feng Dazhan lay on the ground and did not dare to get up, for fear that the movement would make these people think that he would fight back. His eyes were rolling around and thinking about ways to get out of trouble. Before he could finish his mind, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Get out of the way, don't be a road, and let people go." Feng Dazhan looked back in surprise and saw a man standing in the second carriage on the road behind, glaring at him.
Chapter completed!
