Resurrection of the Mystery: Starting from the Clone of the Stone-born Monkey.

Chapter 2
The team of thousands of people and the chariots and horses walked unhurriedly on the road.

It takes about four months to travel from Kyoto to Etsuchi.

The first half of the journey is okay, you can take the official road, the ground is flat, paved with bluestones, and it is very convenient to travel by carriage and horse.

But it gets uncomfortable in the second half.

There are many rivers and hills in the country, and the climate is warm and rainy. It often takes five days to travel before you encounter a rain, or even the interval is shorter.

If you take the waterway by boat, it's fine, but if you take the land route, it will be a disaster. The mountain road is rugged and winding, and the land is muddy. When the ruts get stuck in the mud, horses often have to pull hard to continue walking.

What's more, among the entourage, most of them are from the north, who are not acclimatized to the water and soil, and vomiting and diarrhea are also common things.

No, it coincides with the rainy season, and the rain continues one after another.

Wang Ge and his party had to stop again.

"There is a village ahead, let's rest there." Wang Ge said.

He is the king of Yue, and he has the final say in the group. If he can rest, the team can rest.

However, Wang Ge also added:
"Go and ask the accompanying craftsmen and their families if they feel unwell and need care."

In this entourage, excluding the family members, there are more than 150 craftsmen who are good at carpentry, iron smelting, forging, building houses, and farming. They are technical talents given by Emperor Xuan.

Wang Ge attaches great importance to these talents who have mastered production technology. Whether he, the king of Yue, can survive in Yuedi in the future, these talents are indispensable.

Along the way, Wang Ge was afraid that these laying hens would bump into each other, so he always took care of them.

Even if they are sick, Wang Ge will pay for them to be cured.

And such a move, in the eyes of ordinary people like this, is simply flattering.

This is the King of Yue, one of the most noble people in the world, who actually values ​​us grassroots so much!
Especially once, because the road was slippery and muddy, a carpenter accidentally dropped his leg and was unable to move.

The King of Yue was willing to take out his own horse and carry the carpenter on his back until the injury healed.

These accompanying craftsmen felt that their minds were dizzy.

Although King Yue was young, he was so approachable and friendly to others.

The resentment in the hearts of the craftsmen because of leaving their hometowns and traveling and traveling has completely disappeared. Instead, they have a firm sense of following.
Of course, what Wang Ge wants is not that these craftsmen are ruined, but that they produce well.

After confirming that the accompanying craftsmen were not lost, Wang Ge led the team towards the nearest village.

He had read the map beforehand and knew that there was such a village nearby.

However, when the group actually arrived, the result surprised Wang Ge.

"Master, the village in front is empty and has been deserted for a long time." Yan Feihui reported.

Wang Ge frowned, and then remembered that he had heard rumors when he was under house arrest in the capital:
Before the world was settled, the princes fought against each other, wars broke out frequently, the people were in dire straits, the people were displaced, and the places where they originally lived became uninhabited villages.

This may be the reason for Wang Ge's current situation.

Feeling the pain caused by the war, Wang Ge's heart sank, but it was still necessary to take shelter from the rain and rest.

Wang Ge asked everyone to go to the deserted village to rest.

As a personal guard, Yan Fei found a relatively complete and spacious house in the village as a resting place for his son.

But since it is a barren village, don't expect to have good rest conditions, you can only reluctantly shelter from the wind and rain.

Yan Fei skillfully set up the bonfire, and watched his young master pick up thatch.

After the thatch is dried, it is the bed.

Yan Fei felt both helpless and distressed by the crude rest conditions.

Is it ridiculous that my son, who is the king of Yue, lives in a humble room and sleeps on a straw mat?
Wang Ge is quite content, he has experienced worse living conditions than this before crossing, and he is still alone.

At this moment, he looked at his bodyguard, smiled and said:

"Lao Yanfei will keep watch tonight."

Wang Ge's tone revealed respect. Yan Fei was his personal bodyguard since he was a child.

"The responsibility lies." Yan Fei said in a deep voice, holding a saber in his arms.

The succinct promise made Wang Ge feel at ease.

He yawned, he was also exhausted, and soon fell asleep after calming down.

Wang Fan opened his eyes drowsily, feeling that his brain was like a ball of mush and he had no ability to think.

He looked around, it was still the shabby room in the lonely village before falling asleep, but there was no guard Yan Fei by his side.

Wang Ge felt confused and uneasy.

Turning his head to look out the window, he saw that the rain was no longer there, and there was a scorching sun hanging in space.

But the scorching sun was as bright red as blood, shining "blood light" on the person, and he couldn't feel the slightest warmth, but it was as creepy as a biting cold wind.

Wang Ge felt something was wrong, thinking of defending himself, he casually took out a sword.

"I have also practiced martial arts. Although I am not very talented, but with a sword in my hand, it should be no problem to deal with two or three people."

Holding the sword in his hand, Wang Ge leaned against the wall and walked cautiously towards the outside of the house.

Suddenly, I heard a rush of impatient horseshoes, and there were panic shouts outside the house.

Wang Ge was shocked and turned around to see a soldier riding a war horse and holding a long sword behind him.

The soldier's facial features were indistinct, as if covered with a layer of blood mist, which made people feel extremely terrifying.

Wang Ge was about to protect himself, but the soldiers moved faster and waved blood-stained weapons.

Wang Ge only saw a flash of cold light, but he couldn't feel the existence of his body. His eyes began to spin around, and finally fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Ge saw the soldier get off his horse, grab his hair, and tie it around his belt.

"I was beheaded, and my head was taken away?"

Wang Ge suddenly realized that at the same time, he also saw that besides him, there were many soldiers and unarmed civilians in the whole village.

Soldiers killed civilians, cut off their heads or ears, and pocketed them.

After all the villagers were killed, the soldiers put down their weapons and lit a bonfire.

While eating barbecue, they talked and laughed about how many heads they took and how many military merits they could exchange.

Wang Ge's head and the heads of other people were put together to form a Jingguan.

Wang Ge opened his eyes and saw a village covered in blood and corpses. He also saw a flag fluttering in the wind.

There is an eye-catching word "武" on the flag, with teeth and claws showing.

"Wu? King Wu's army?" Wang Ge suddenly reacted.

The next moment all the scenery in front of you disappeared.

Wang Ge opened his eyes, only to see sparks exploding from the bonfire, and heard the sound of dripping rain.

Looking up, it was Yan Fei holding the saber.

"My lord, are you awake?" Yan Fei asked.

Wang Ge opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that what he just experienced was just a dream.
