Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 134 The Spark of Life

(7)

In the early morning of the next day, after a night of rest, they couldn't wait to bid farewell to this peaceful town and head towards their future again.

The gray-covered carriage raised dust again, stepped over the red leaves all over the ground, intending to pass through the maple forest that was so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing leaves was left, and leave the temporary Red Leaf Town.

Along the way, the red leaves fluttered endlessly, coming and going with the wind, as if falling endlessly. While taking away a little bit of summer heat, it also made this bright and bright universe quite cool in early autumn.Although it can't make people completely get rid of the sweltering atmosphere, it can at least prevent people sitting in the carriage from being easily affected by the scorching heat, and thus prematurely feel tired and tired, allowing the carriage to pass through the jungle endlessly .

And through this maple leaf forest, if there is no accident, you can walk for nearly half a day to see the beauty of Cangzhou City.The so-called morning is a place in the countryside, and in the evening it is a prosperous place.

As a big city of Han people close to Saibei, Cangzhou City was inevitably influenced by the nomads who went south.Its folk customs are brave and ruthless, and they favor martial arts and despise literature.The brothers and sisters of the Zhao family, who are well aware of the people's sentiments, took this opportunity to tell all the friends who moved south to Daoqing during the journey.

"When you arrive in Cangzhou City, no matter what kind of situation you encounter, remember not to clash with others indiscriminately." Zhao Xiaomei asked Murong Yan to help comb her pigtails, while watching Bai Feng and others, said: "Even if you use a sword It is absolutely impossible to help each other. In that place, each family has its own rules, and the government is only a "peacemaker" to mediate disputes. Therefore, rashly meddling in other people's affairs will only cause trouble for the upper body... What's more, Young Master Bai and Sister Murong are important criminals of the imperial court, so they should not expose their whereabouts because of small disturbances on the street."

"Little sister is right! We Beizhen people always like to compete for superiority in everything. Cangzhou City is so close to Beizhen, so it is naturally the same." Zhao Kuo, who was driving the horse, also said kindly: "Even if it is the world's number one A swordsman, if you come to Cangzhou City, you won't dare to cause trouble!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help feeling timid.The Miao girl who was still chewing food stopped filling her stomach, and replied with a little disgust: "It's so terrible, no wonder all of you Han people come to our mountains..."

"Sister Ajuan, you won't lose money if you follow your brother anyway, hehe!" Xiaomei Zhao said again: "Sister Ying, on the other hand, can no longer use knives and guns like before."

"Me?" E Feiying unconsciously looked at the other party, then inadvertently glanced at the young swordsman sitting beside her, and then said with a particularly forgetful smile: "Heh... just like Mr. Bai once said to Feiying, Now is not the time to be reckless..."

When Bai Feng saw this, he also felt a lot of emotion.The slightly ashamed smile on his face seemed to express his guilt silently: in his heart, he would always owe such a girl.

Then, Murong Yan finally braided the little girl's hair, a neat and elegant ponytail.Then she sat next to E Feiying, conveying the young swordsman's thoughts and everyone's thoughts as if she had keenly captured some subtle emotions, and said, "Sister Ying, Brother Feng and I can escape The clutches of Taiping Dao depend entirely on your help. We have nothing to repay, but we only hope that our company along the way can make Sister Ying forget those bad memories..."

"Of course I know your thoughts... It's just that I haven't been in as much pain as that night for a long time!" As soon as the words fell, E Feiying suddenly took the little hand of the girl next to her and said, "Speaking of which, it's a terrible thing. It's a shame, 'Sister Ying' is the oldest here, but now she's the one who takes care of her the most..."

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, the rest of the people could not disturb them, and continued to go about their own business: the rich man continued to drive to his hometown, while Ajuan was eating dry and hard food, At the same time, they did not forget to tease the "poisonous weed" they raised, and the younger sister and Bai Feng continued the interesting story of studying the scrolls yesterday.

Everything is going on in such a peaceful state, it seems that there is no disturbance, they are all ordinary chats and conversations.They took this opportunity to pass the dull time of the trip while enhancing their relationship.

Time passed, and the carriage left the red maple forest far behind as if in an instant.What greeted them was one after another hillsides and steep hills.Both sides of the road are sometimes green and pleasant, and sometimes the sparse and yellowed landforms make people overwhelmed; at the end of the infinitely far road, there is an unusually tall mountain towering above the horizon and in the clouds. Can not be expected.

When ordinary people see such a terrain, they will usually start to feel timid.But Zhao Kuo and his younger sister were extremely excited—they said they could see their home after walking through these uneven fork roads and then turning over the highest mountain.It's just that before that, they still need to stay in the vast plain in front of them for a while.

As time went by, more and more people, horses, livestock, merchants and refugees passed by the carriage. The people in the carriage must have known that Cangzhou City was approaching, so they closed the curtains tightly to cover the contents of the carriage.The coachman of the imperial horse also dropped his posture of being a nobleman, stripped off the embroidered coat inlaid with gold-edged patterns, and only wore a gray and yellowed inner lining. From a distance, he looked like a coachman, At the same time, he yelled at pedestrians and horses.

"Cars and horses don't look at people, so be careful when passing by! Drive, drive, drive... Phew."

After these yellings, although some porters and ladies who stood in front were chased away, there were still some people who stood in front, pretending not to hear, and they were about to collide with the horses.

"The people in front! Get out of the way!" Zhao Kuo was suddenly startled and shouted.

The bull-nosed, black-faced man standing in front of him was extremely majestic, carrying three big bags of things the size of an ordinary girl on his shoulders, and his arms were as thick as the trunk of an old locust tree.As a result, the two younger mares under Zhao Kuo's control were startled when they saw the guy. They stopped immediately when they were about to collide, kicked up, and neighed again and again!
After the fellow heard a horse yelling behind him, he slowly turned around and said angrily, "Where is the bastard who dares to drive wildly on this road? Do you know who I am, Grandpa?" The three bags of goods fell heavily to the ground, and the dust they kicked up when they hit the ground was enough to blur the vision of ordinary people, which shows how strong this bull-nosed and black-faced man is!

"Brother, the villain is just rushing to deliver the goods, please don't take offense." Zhao Kuo arched his hands and respectfully, for fear of offending these capable people and strangers.

"Who isn't rushing to deliver goods? You are the only one in the world who is doing it for a living? Taking possession of your own car and horses and running around, I look down on you as a dog... Hey, you brat, don't run away." !” Before the big man finished speaking, Zhao Kuo slipped away quietly while he was trying to win the hearts of the surrounding folks and elders.

To encounter scoundrels before entering the city gate, it can be said that misfortunes never come singly, because entering the city is the most difficult time.

Zhao Kuo must have known for a long time that there must be a search when entering and exiting the customs. In order to ensure safety, he must find another way, but who made Mr. Zhao be considered a half "local snake"?

When the gray-covered carriage came to the gate of Cangzhou City and was about to be searched by the guards, Zhao Kuo quietly took out a handwritten letter, found the figure who seemed to be the head of the guards, and said quietly: "Please send this letter Leave it to Su Qing, Mr. Su! Please also pass on a sentence for me, just say that an 'old friend' is here..."

After the guard heard about it, he quickly nodded in agreement, "So it's Uncle Su's friend?" He immediately handed over the book to the swift-footed soldier, and after instructing others to treat the owner of the gray-covered carriage well, he turned to continue the review The identities of other people who entered the city have gone.

At this time, the people in the carriage completely cut off the internal and external communication because of the cover of the curtain in front of the door, so they didn't know what Zhao Kuo was doing at all.Therefore, after learning how risky and safe the journey was, they admired Zhao Kuo's ability to judge the situation even more.
