Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 689 Yutian County

Shengyuan four years, early April.

Northland, Yunzhou.

Look up bleak.

The last time Lin Ji came to Yunzhou was only a few months ago. Although the war in Yunzhou was raging at that time, it had not yet spread to the southern area.

But it wasn't long before that, when he set foot on the northern land again, Lin Ji suddenly discovered that the barbarians can already be seen in the southern part of Yunzhou.

"Have all the barbarian monks come here?" Lin Ji sighed in his heart.

In the past, Yunzhou was not prosperous, but it was still stable, but now, even the official road that he was stepping on to deliver food, grass and military equipment to the north, there were not many ruts in sight.

"Even the official road has been abandoned. The situation in Yunzhou has become so serious. But I am in the south, and I can't hear any news about Yunzhou even in Beijing."

"It's not that the court deliberately concealed it, it's that everyone chose to conceal it and choose to keep silent."

Lin Ji shook his head slightly, understanding in his heart.

There are definitely not a few people who are waiting for the end of the Qin Dynasty and the disintegration of Kyushu.

Behind Lin Ji, Fang Qing followed step by step.

This girl is clearly an ordinary person who has never practiced cultivation, but she walked with Lin Ji all the way and never yelled that she was tired.

Although Lin Ji deliberately slowed down his pace and stopped from time to time.

But after the long journey, the girl followed closely without saying a word.

At first Lin Ji thought it was because of her perseverance, but he didn't know that this girl was really not tired until he asked curiously not long ago.

Lin Ji reckoned that the girl's body must be a little weird, but she couldn't find out anything about it.

After asking no results, he stopped asking.

There are too many talented people, so there is no need to delve into it.

Stop and go, and not long after, a county town appeared in front of it.

It wasn't until this time that Lin Ji finally saw the common people coming and going on the official road already overgrown with weeds.

"Ma'am, what's ahead?" Lin Ji casually stopped a passing aunt and asked.

"It's Yutian County." The aunt paused and replied.

But then, her expression changed. After looking at Lin Ji, she hurriedly said, "Why are you still going north? Don't go, all the men in the county have been arrested."

"how?"

"It's not the Zhenbei Army. They can't beat the barbarians, and they want us people to go up and take our lives! Now even children aged twelve or thirteen have been captured, and there are no males in the county. If you go, you will be killed by the Zhenbei Army." People who have seen it will definitely take it away."

After the words were finished, the aunt gave Lin Ji a few more winks, and then left quickly.

Lin Ji saw that the basket on the aunt's hand was mostly filled with wild vegetables and mushrooms.

In the past, Yunzhou was not said to be barren, but it would never force the people to such a situation.

"Kyushu Rebellion." Lin Ji didn't know what to say.

Because he knows very well that this kind of thing is not limited to Yunzhou. Today, all the nine states in the world may have their own troubles.

A moment later, Lin Ji and Fang Qing finally entered Yutian County.

As the aunt said earlier, every house in the county has closed doors, and only a few women and children in a hurry can be seen occasionally passing by on the road.

There are no men.

"I wanted to rest here for a night and leave tomorrow." Lin Ji felt a little regretful.

He didn't care, but the road was full of dust, and Fang Qing behind her was already covered in filth.

Lin Ji could cleanse her body with spiritual energy, but he couldn't do this for a girl, and no matter what, it couldn't be as relaxing as a hot bath.

"Grandpa Lin, there is an inn in front that is still open." Fang Qing said, pointing not far ahead.

Lin Ji saw it just now, so he took Fang Qing two steps faster, and soon came to the inn.

There were five or six tables in the inn in twos and threes, and the business was surprisingly good.

Seeing a new customer coming to the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.

"The two staying in the hotel?"

"Well, I want two upper rooms, some hot water, and a table of good wine and food."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Ji took out the silver and was about to hand it over, when the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Sorry, sir, our shop only accepts Yuanjing now."

"Only take Yuanjing? Is your food and drink made of gold? No, gold is not worth a Yuanjing."

Even if the Yuanjing is not used, it can be used as a spirit stone for cultivation.

Who would use this thing as silver?
This is neither Tianjing City nor Taiyifang.

Why?
The shopkeeper was still there, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Lin Ji's words.

"In special times, if you don't want to, you can go another three hundred miles north to Mocheng to find a better inn."

Lin Ji didn't bother to refute anything, he took out a Yuanjing and handed it over.

After receiving Yuan Jing, the shopkeeper smiled a little, and greeted Lin Ji and Fang Qing to go upstairs.

After resting upstairs for a while, the waiter said that the food was ready, so Lin Ji went downstairs on his own.

When Fang Qing, who was taking a bath, was over, she would come down naturally without Lin Ji's call.

In the corner on the first floor of the inn, Lin Ji just tasted a few mouthfuls of the food on the table, and felt that it was tasteless, so he just drank.

After a while, Fang Qing changed into a male gown after taking a bath, Shi Shiran went downstairs and found Lin Ji.

"Why do you dress like a man again?"

"When a girl's family is out and about, dressing up as a man can save a lot of trouble. This is what I read in the novel." Fang Qing replied.

These words brought back some memories of Lin Ji.

"In the future, when I have the opportunity to introduce someone to you, the two of you should have something in common."

When she first met Zhong Xiaoyan in Qingyang County, she was also like this.

After reading two folk martial arts novels, I asked women to disguise themselves as men to fight for justice.

Compared to Lin Ji, Fang Qing's taste is naturally not so tricky, and this table of food can be regarded as satisfying for her.

At the same time, three people suddenly walked in outside the inn.

These three people have similar faces, but there are some differences, and their bodies are similar.

As soon as they appeared, the shopkeeper of the inn rushed out to greet them.

"Three adults, or the old rules?"

"Old rules."

"Please sit down, I will order the kitchen to prepare some lambs for you, which will be slaughtered in the morning."

"Go."

The shopkeeper ran away in a hurry, while the three sat down on the table in the middle.

Xiao Erji served the wine with discernment, then carefully stepped aside and waited.

Lin Ji in the corner frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

"How are they?"

Fang Qing stopped talking in the midst of her busy schedule, looked back and lost interest.

"You recognize it?"

"We've dealt with each other before." Lin Ji prevaricated casually.

And at this moment, several people came in from outside, making the not-so-spacious lobby of the inn a bit noisy.

"Get out of here, Lao Tzu, Feiyunzong has taken over this inn!"
