Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 465 The identity of Fengjiang

The rest of the trip was uneventful.

Moreover, the flow of people on Dali's official road gradually increased.

It can only be said that the second half of the route to Yuncang Port is not too remote.

Shen Mu didn't know why the old man let them follow him this time, but most likely he didn't have any good intentions.

The reason why he hasn't educated them yet is that Shen Mu wants to see the real details of this family.

a few days later.

Seeing that we are about to arrive at Komatsu Mountain.

Only then did the old man surnamed Sun direct the convoy to rest at the same place for one night, and leave in the daytime tomorrow.

It is not easy to walk in the mountains at night, and with the lessons learned from the previous bandits, he will naturally be more cautious.

But these days, the old man always tried to test Shen Mu and others intentionally or unintentionally.

More I still want to know the details after the bandit appeared that night, and see if I can find some flaws in it.

Because even if Shen Mu and the others really escaped, there is no reason for those bandit monks to let them go.

But along the way, everything was safe and sound.

And the more so, the more strange and puzzled the old man felt.

Did you really give up?

Or are they out of the range of those bandits?
Always feel a little strange.

During dinner, everyone ate around the built fire stove.

The old man surnamed Sun held the young man by the hand, smiled and sat beside the three of Shen Mu, pretending to chat naturally.

This is almost the fifth time along the way.

The old man looked at Shen Mu, and then looked at Li Tieniu over Zhao Taiji. Shen Mu talked to him the most when chatting on weekdays, but Zhao Taiji drank all day, so he really had nothing to say, so this time he decided to shift his target to that On the silly sweat.

The old man said with a smile: "The iron bull man is really strong. With his physical frame, he is outstanding in his hometown. Oh, by the way, I have known you for so many days and I haven't asked yet. Where are you from?"

Li Tieniu gnawed on the burnt corn, and when he heard the old man's question, he said in a muffled voice, "He's from Fengjiang."

"What? Seal the border!"

"You... are you from Fengjiang City?"

As soon as Li Tieniu said this, before the old man could respond, many people around looked over in surprise.

At the same time, the young lady, who had never dined with everyone, also got off the carriage at this moment, looking at the three of them with some surprise and surprise.

"Is it the one that has been rumored in recent days, the Fengjiang City that opened the Heavenly Paradise?"

"Yes."

Li Tieniu nodded honestly, answered very simply, did not say more, and gnawed the second ear of roasted corn on his own.

But at this moment, the faces of everyone on the other side are already a little exciting.

The expressions in the eyes of the coachmen fluctuated, whether it was curiosity or fear.

In short, it seemed that after knowing that the three of them came from Fengjiang, many people flinched a little in their eyes, and lost the arrogance they had before.

"Cough cough." The old man coughed dryly: "I really didn't expect that a few of them are from Fengjiang. I heard that Fengjiang City is no longer a part of Dali, and it is developing very well. The Shen City Lord is in the limelight."

Shen Mu smiled: "It's okay, but I didn't expect that our Fengjiang has become so famous now."

"Hehe, yes, everyone is talking now, apart from the great battle between Dali and Nanjing, the other is the closure of borders." The old man said with a smile.

Just chatted a few words.

The old man took the boy and the girl back to the carriage.

Get back in the car.

Butler Sun's face darkened instantly.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be someone from Fengjiang City." The young woman was very worried: "Master Sun, are the things you said about Fengjiang City true or false? Is that person named Shen Mu really that powerful?" ?”

Butler Sun smiled helplessly: "It's probably true. Many things can't be groundless. Besides, Fengjiang used to be a county that was on the verge of poverty. Now it has developed into such a state, and ordinary people must not be able to do it.

The point is, this City Lord Shen is extremely ruthless. He wiped out a sword sect in Nanjing Dazhou. Do you think this kind of thing is unnecessary? If he really didn't do this, how could he be famous? Yuanyang? "

After hearing this, the young woman bit her red lips lightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Then what about these three people? If they are really from Fengjiang City, but we plan to throw them to death, if the city lord finds out, it won't be detrimental to our Sun family, right?"

The old man said in a deep voice: "Miss, don't worry, are the three people really saying something? Think about it, since Fengjiang has developed so well, why did they come out to ask for a living? I think it is very likely that they are lie."

"But why?"

"It's very simple. Everyone wants to have a strong background when they are away from home. It is easier to do things this way. Now that Fengjiang City has a bad reputation, they claim to outsiders that they are from Fengjiang. Naturally, some people will be afraid of the Lord Shen. So let them be lenient!"

The woman was a little relieved when she heard this: "Master Sun is right, hum, these three people must be lying."

The old man smiled: "So don't worry, miss, the plan will go ahead as usual, and we will be able to pass through if we take them as a confession at Xiaosongshan. After we arrive at Yuncang Port, the people who meet the winners are what we really need to care about.

Moreover, even if these three people are really people in Fengjiang City, but they are just three ordinary people, does the Lord Shen really care about it?

Furthermore, if a person dies on Mount Xiaosong, the murderer is naturally the ghosts and field cultivators on the mountain. As long as we don't leave any traces, we will be safe and it has nothing to do with us.

No matter how powerful he is in sealing the border, it is impossible to reach out to Yuncang Port, right?It has almost no impact on our Sun family's ferry business. "

"Well, it's Butler Sun who's thoughtful."

...

...

...

Komatsuyama.

The winding mountain road is covered with white mist.

If you want to go to the ferry port of Yuncang Port, Komatsu Mountain cannot be avoided.

After another journey, the carriage convoy finally arrived at the foot of Xiaosong Mountain.

Looking at the fog-shrouded mountain road ahead, everyone raised their vigilance again.

Shen Mu was sitting in an ox cart, just behind the old man's carriage.

He didn't know the conversation between the old man and Mrs. Sun in the car.

Even if he knew, he wasn't going to reveal his identity so quickly and have a showdown with them.

Many things, in fact, can only be seen more clearly by becoming an inconspicuous bystander.

Not only the scheming old man and woman, but also the Yuncang Port they are about to arrive at.

If you only control the boundaries of a county, it doesn't matter, just find someone you can trust to manage it.

But Yuncang Port is different, it is a port for transcontinental ferries.

Therefore, the forces involved there are somewhat complicated.

Even listening to Cao Bi, the wild repairman in the box, it seems that Xiaosongshan has also got involved in the division of forces in Yuncang Port.

This made Shen Mu somewhat unexpected.

Although the two places are very close to each other, how could a group of wild monsters in the mountains dare to stretch their hands into the ferry port of the Dali Dynasty?

Thinking about it this way, combined with what Cao Bi said before, he said that there was someone behind the banshee.

That's an obvious conclusion to draw.

They are entrenched in Komatsu Hill.

There must be another purpose...
