Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 604 Chapter [-] On the Road
Shengyuan three years, early November.

On the spacious official road, the cold wind is bleak.

On both sides of the road, the lush greenery of a few months ago has long disappeared, only dead branches and decaying vines are left in a patchwork pattern, swaying constantly by the wind, silently telling the coming of winter.

From time to time, you can see the bird's nest on the tree branch, but you can't see its owner returning.

The weather is cold, and the world is much quieter.

Da da da. Da da da.
The sound of hoofs sounded.

A convoy of seven or eight carriages slowly moved along the official road, and the ruts left marks on the ground.Fortunately, the weather was dry and there wasn't much mud on the ground. After all, it made the road for the convoy facing the cold winter a little easier.

The drivers were Daqin soldiers, and the convoy was guarded by soldiers on both sides.

This is the convoy going north to deliver food to Yunzhou.

This year's North is not like any other.

In the past, when the barbarians went south, they would withdraw their troops when they had robbed enough money and food, and Daqin's Zhenbei Army never chased and killed them, they just chased them away and let it go.

This kind of tacit understanding has lasted for many years.

But this year is different.

It is clear that the cold winter has come, and the people in the north are suffering more than those in Yunzhou.

But this time the barbarians chose to continue the war, as if they were bound to take Yunzhou down.

Although they have been fighting for so long, the barbarians will only take two or three hundred miles to the north of Yunzhou, but this unending posture is really on display.

For this reason, the imperial court had to be forced to fight, and unplanned deployment of many people to support the Yunzhou war.

"Damn it, it's fucking cold this year!" the groom driving the carriage cursed in a low voice.

Although it is close to Yunzhou, November in the past was also chilling, but this year is even worse.

The officer next to the coachman heard the coachman cursing, but he was not angry, but sighed twice as if approving.

"Old Jin, let's say a few words less. Who would have thought that the battle in Yunzhou would last until today? Hey, don't think we are just delivering food. When we go to Yunzhou, I'm afraid we will be included in the Zhenbei Army."

Lao Jin shook his head again and again.

"I'm just a groom, I don't know how to fight!"

"It's not up to you or me. Groom? If you drive a car in the army, you're also paid by the army and have a military registration! The generals in Yunzhou have been jealous for a long time, and they don't care what your identity is?"

Lao Jin was shocked and said: "The north has already reached this level? Isn't our Suppressing North Army winning every year?"

"F*ck wins every year! In previous years, the barbarians have always grabbed enough supplies for the winter and withdrew their troops on their own! How could this year's battle be so endless? Even our Great General Zhenbei lost his life. Do you think this battle Will it end easily?" The officer responded with a sneer.

Hearing this, Lao Jin's face turned ugly again.

Going north to transport grain is already a hard job, but now that they may go to war, it will make the situation worse.

"How did General Lu die?"

The officer shook his head and said: "I don't know, some people said that he was poisoned and killed; some people said that he was so happy that he lost to the barbarian generals on the battlefield, was injured by others, and died."

After a pause, the officer looked around and lowered his voice again.

"There is still a saying in Beijing that the Lu family has been disobedient for a long time. Then Lu Nanting has controlled the Zhenbei Army for more than [-] years, and he has already become the king of the northern region! Our emperor's children are not as effective as him in speaking."

"Ah? The Lu family fought with the royal family thousands of years ago. How could this happen?" Lao Jin was shocked.

The officer sneered.

"Oh, you also said that it was a thousand years ago! Any emperor with a high mountain who has been in charge of the military for decades will inevitably have a wrong mind."

Lao Jin nodded slightly, and said in surprise, "So General Lu was taken over."

Halfway through speaking, Lao Jin made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The officer shook his head.

"It's impossible to say, it's impossible to guess about this matter, and it's best not to guess."

That's what he said, but looking at his confident appearance, it seems that he has already confirmed this statement.

At this moment, the officer suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him.

It was a young man with the appearance of a scholar. In this cold winter season, he was still holding a folding fan and waving it from time to time. It looked weird no matter how he looked.

If it's just like this, it's fine, those young masters in Beijing also like it, as if holding a folding fan is a symbol of their scholars.

But that scholar had a snow-white cat on his head.

What was even more outrageous was that he was holding a girl's hair with his left hand, and the girl was obviously still alive, but she was dragged on the ground by the scholar so abruptly, leaving a deep mark on her.

Lao Jin also saw the situation ahead.

"My lord, is that in front?"

The officer snorted softly.

"This place is not far from Mocheng! It is estimated that some young master in Mocheng took care of his maid!"

Hearing this, Lao Jin was stunned.

"I've heard for a long time that the people of these big families are rich and unkind, and treat their subordinates extremely harshly. That girl looks like she's only twenty-eight years old, hey."

"Take care of this matter!" The officer signaled to the surrounding subordinates, several fast horses immediately came out of the queue, and stopped in front of the scholar in the blink of an eye.

"Scholar! Let go of the girl in your hand!" The officer yelled violently when he approached.

He had also been on the battlefield, and when he yelled violently, he carried a bit of military power, and most people would seldom say that he would be so frightened that he could not stand still.

But the scholar didn't move at all, but there was a bit of surprise on his face.

"Meow?"

The white cat above the head was woken up, glanced at the soldiers blocking the way in front, and scratched the hair of his mount in dissatisfaction.

"Lin Ji, have you arrived in Mocheng?"

"Not yet, soon."

"who are they?"

"The road is rough."

"Where is the injustice?"

Lin Ji smiled bitterly, looking at the dying little girl in his hands who had been dragged away by him for days and nights.

On the other side, the officer and his subordinates froze in place the moment they heard the white cat uttering human words.

"Ghosts?!" The officer swallowed, his hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist, and he was always on guard.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ji smiled and waved his hands.

"Master Jun, don't be nervous, Lin is a human and not a demon."

"The cat."

"Oh, she is."

Seeing that the officer was a little nervous again, Lin Ji shook his head and kicked the little girl who was dragged all the way by him.

"My surname is Lin! Why did you kick me!" The dying little girl suddenly raised her head, but because Lin Ji pulled her hair, this action made her face a bit painful.

"Explain to these military masters what you did." Lin Ji said expressionlessly.

"Jie Jie Jie Grandma, me"

Snapped!
Lin Ji slapped him with a slap and let go at the same time.

The little girl was immediately sent flying.

"Let you stop laughing, don't you understand people's words?"

A moment later, the little girl came back listlessly, with disheveled hair, and knelt down beside Lin Ji.

"Listen and understand."
