Xiao Dingfei's "low-key" horse made tinkling noises all the way along, which made people feel a little disturbed at first, but gradually he got used to it, and even felt a strange pleasure, as if he was riding This monotonous and boring road is injected with a very different color.
At dusk, they finally arrived outside Tongzhou City.
Jiang Xuening recalled the plan of being on the riverside with Zhang Zhe in the afternoon, and she was a little nervous when she knew that she was about to enter the city. Unexpectedly, Huang Qian, who was riding in front, reined in first, helped Feng Mingyu off the horse, and said to everyone: "Brothers, please rest outside the city for a while, we will wait before entering the city."
It took only a few hours from the capital to Tongzhou, but now it took a whole day.
In the afternoon, not only Jiang Xuening and Zhang Zhe, but also Tianjiao's own congregants and the gangsters who escaped from the prison all felt it: the team was moving very slowly, as if they were waiting for something and worried about something.
This made everyone whisper in their hearts.
Especially for those who have committed serious crimes and have a criminal record, Dang even felt a little dissatisfied: "They have already arrived outside the city gate, and they have changed their appearance. Everyone can go in in separate groups. Why wait outside the city? What is this?" What do you mean?"
Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian are the ones who talk about the Tianjiao, and they didn't find any trace of Gongyicheng once they robbed the prison, so they released all the other people in the Tianjiao, and they naturally had a heart to win over this group of people and take them into custody. Ideas for your own use.
It's just that when he heard this question, he still couldn't help frowning.
The followers of Tianjiao naturally obeyed them.
So Huang Qian was not worried about them, he just cupped his hands towards the group of people who had escaped from the sky prison, and explained kindly: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. Today is different from the past. The case of Pingnan Wang Yidang I just got implicated in the Mansion of Yongyihou, and we escaped from the prison again. If only I, the people of the Heavenly Sect, would have entered the city directly, but all the heroes have a criminal record, and you should be careful when you escape from the prison The sentry I taught has already set off early on the way to explore the road, and went to the city to check for news. If I come back in a while and say that the city is safe, I will enter the city naturally. I hope you are all good guys."
Some people lost their temper, and they heard the underlying meaning: "Master Huang Xiang, does this mean that we have dragged down your teaching?"
Huang Qian's complexion changed.
Feng Mingyu was an old fox, and said with a smile: "My teaching has no such intentions, it's really just for the good of you heroes."
The man who spoke had a strong build and glaring eyes, obviously he had a bad temper.
But now the situation is stronger than people.
If there is no Tianjiao robbery, they are still waiting to die in the prison at the moment.
Therefore, there was also that smart and quick-witted person who was afraid of any conflicts here, so he quickly pulled him back, persuaded him with a smile, and became a peacemaker: "Master Huang Xiang is also a well-known hero in the world, Brother Li, you What nonsense are you talking about?"
Besides, this is really not a place where they can talk.
Seeing that the man surnamed Li frowned and seemed still not convinced, the man hurriedly gave him a wink, and turned his eyes to Meng Yang who had already sat down quietly beside him.
When they rested in the village on the way at noon, the prison uniforms on everyone had already been changed.
At this moment, Meng Yang was wearing a gray robe.
He had been in prison for a long time, and the scars on his body could not be covered, extending from his chest to his neck. His messy hair was **** with a cloth belt, revealing a peaceful face, not even a lot in his eyes Fierce, on the contrary seems ordinary.
He still heard the somewhat saber-like debate, but when everyone's eyes fell on his face, he raised his head in confusion, and smiled at everyone, with two rows of white teeth: " Why are you standing and not sitting?"
This could be called a refined and kind smile.
However, everyone who saw this smile couldn't hold it back, shivering shiveringly, feeling a bit of timidity that they shouldn't have for no reason.
At that time, the group of vicious and vicious people who had escaped from the heavenly prison were speechless, even though they were quite dissatisfied with Tianjiao's slow-moving behavior in their hearts, they all swallowed it, trembling, not daring to speak out, obediently I sat down in the wilderness of the outskirts.
After all, the evil is afraid of the evil, and the evil is afraid of death.
It stands to reason that this group of people didn't make a fuss, and Meng Yang didn't seem to care about anything. The Tianjiao side should be happy, but Huang Qian and Feng Ming frowned quietly when they saw this.
Both Jiang Xuening and Zhang Zhe took this scene into their eyes, and looked at each other in a very tacit understanding: Tianjiao rescued this group of people in order to absorb them into the teaching, but these people are all undisciplined and not He is easy to tame, but secretly suppresses his dissatisfaction. Although he doesn't say it explicitly, it is vaguely led by Meng Yang.
The two of them are alone.
After entering the city, although the imperial court had reinforcements, the plan itself was risky, and no one knew what news the Tianjiao sentry would bring back. What I am most afraid of is that the group of people in front of me is monolithic, and there is no gap. But now that there are signs of mutual suspicion, one can think about whether they can use their strengths to find some unexpected opportunities.
The two didn't speak, but they understood each other.
The Tianjiao wants to stop. They have no opinion, and they dare not have any opinion.
Immediately dismounted and sat with everyone.
There should be people staying outside the city, with thatched huts on the side, and everyone tied their horses to eat grass, and when it was getting dark, a raging bonfire was lit outside.
When they left the village, everyone brought dry food and water bags on their bodies, so they all sat down around the bonfire. After a day, they had the feeling of escape, and they talked a lot more casually.
Zhang Zhe is cold and reticent, but Jiang Xuening is eloquent inside.
After all, in her previous life, she also relied on one mouth to coax people.
When others see such a good-looking person, they are also willing to listen to her a few more words.
Originally Xiaobao was sitting on the other side of her, but after Xiao Dingfei threw off the saddle, he came up and drove Xiaobao away, and sat cheekily beside Jiang Xuening.
Jiang Xuening looked sideways at his rascal who was exactly the same as in the previous life, and thought it was funny: "Mr. Dingfei said on the road that you have a good fate. I didn't believe it, but now I believe it. I have always heard that the Heavenly Sect has awe-inspiring righteousness, and it is the same as the world. The common people share their worries and joys, but you don't look like the followers of the Heavenly Sect at all."
Xiao Dingfei rolled his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, my son looks sloppy on the surface, but he also has the world in his heart. How do you say that, what is the world first, what is the world later..."
When Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian heard this sentence as soon as they walked over, they felt blood rush to their foreheads.
Feng Mingyu stared angrily.
Huang Qian was also afraid that other people would think that their Tianjiao members were such bastards, so he quickly came up and said, "It's 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later', but the teaching of this religion is 'the world is one." ’, we must be joking with everyone, don’t mind.”
Who can't see what Xiao Dingfei is?
Some people smiled on the surface, while others nodded with dignity.
Jiang Xuening belonged to the kind who was very face-saving, and she didn't know if she understood, but she nodded anyway, and said: "That's really amazing, this is the ideal of the ancient sages."
Huang Qian thought to himself that this little girl is quite knowledgeable, and was about to accept the compliment, but unexpectedly, there was a sneer from the slant, and she said sarcastically: "What kind of **** is there in the world? In today's world, I think the teaching of your teaching It's really boring."
The voice was hoarse and rough, hitting people's eardrums.
Jiang Xuening's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he looked along with the crowd. It was Meng Yang from before, and he didn't know where to get a jar of wine. Now he was sitting by the campfire with his heart open, and he was actually drinking while drinking. say this.
A bit of apprehension suddenly appeared on Feng Mingyu's wrinkled face.
Jiang Xuening didn't quite see the depth of this person, but only felt a little danger based on intuition.
No one answered for a while.
But what Meng Yang said just now really aroused some people's emotions. After a while, someone shook his head and let out a long sigh, saying: "Actually, what Meng Yishi said is not true? The current world is really outrageous. I still When I was in the prison, I heard that the family of Yongyi Houfu was arrested and imprisoned in the sky prison. That is a loyal family who has fought for me and won countless battles, and was detained for no reason. The hat of contacting against the party has been imprisoned. You came to rob the prison yesterday, but it was a step too late. The whole family of the Hou family has been exiled to Huangzhou. It is really pitiful. The current court is incompetent, taxes are increasing, and the people are struggling. What can you say? The world is in harmony'ah!"
The name of the Yongyi Hou Mansion was more or less known to the people of the Daqian Dynasty.
After all, in the early years, Hou Ye Yanmu led the army to fight outside, and repelled the barbarians' repeated invasions on the border. These barbarians were frightened and surrendered to Dagan, which gave the people some time to recuperate.
There is finally business on the border.
But in the recent period, the life of border merchants has become sad.
It's okay if you don't mention this, but when you mention it, some people will inevitably think of some old things, laugh and say: "Speaking of it, I am not afraid of your jokes. When I was forced to become a king on the mountain, I also thought about going down the mountain to join the army, so I voted under the command of General Yan. I heard that although Yan Xiaoshi is young, he inherited his father's will and is not weak. It's a pity that he was arrested by the court's bandits before he could make it. Who would have thought, hehe, his mother is in prison I met General Yan here!"
Speaking of the latter, it is unavoidable to be a bit bleak.
Meng Yang was drinking his own wine in the corner, but stopped talking.
The man surnamed Li who had previously spoken out against Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian lost his temper again, and said disdainfully: "The court with the ability to defend against foreign enemies, the court without the ability to kill Zhongliang! As for the three hundred righteous children twenty years ago I didn't explain it clearly, and the city was full of disturbances. I heard that General Yan's nephew also died for no reason. Now, all the Yan clan will be sent in. The one sitting on the dragon chair may be trying to scare others. Hey, everyone What the **** is going on! The Tatar envoys have all entered the capital, and they dare to accept the princess who asked to marry us for marriage, it's **** bullshit!"
"..."
Tatars, marriages, princesses.
Jiang Xuening was listening to these people with her ears upright, and wanted to know more about the inside story of Tianjiao, but she really didn't expect that someone would bring up the matter of making a kiss.
The fingers holding the water bag suddenly trembled slightly.
The man was still scolding: "What the **** is a Tatar? A barbarian who drinks blood! After my father dies, my wife will be left to my son! It's a waste of human relations! A few years ago, I knelt in front of us to beg for peace and offered annual tribute. Now Once the Yongyi Hou’s mansion fell, all the monsters and goblins would turn on their noses, and the court is now a softie! Getting married is just marrying the princess to seek peace, and rewarding them with a bunch of good things, I am! "
As Zhang Zhe listened, he remembered the ending of Shen Zhiyi in his previous life, and he also thought of the coffin where the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood in tears to welcome him back. Inside lay the imperial princess who could no longer laugh. He lowered his eyelids, but couldn't hold back, and turned to look at the girl beside him.
She didn't notice anything.
The man was sitting beside him, his thick eyelashes pressed down, covering the brilliance of his eyes. The gentle cheeks that were originally illuminated by the blazing fire slowly faded away, becoming fragile and pale.
Maybe sometimes, leaving may not be so easy, right?
