169, [towards the direction of the rising sun]
Fang Chang walked with Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande, next to him was a huge prison troop team and an equally large group of guards.
It seems that because of awe, there are no people around the world who are close to them, which makes them quite quiet.
Some people may wonder why this man in white, who had not taken action yesterday, walked with two respectable leaders, and was very close to each other.
However, among the people in the world, there are always few who like to be troublesome. Unless they are extremely skilled in their kung fu, they will be eliminated long ago - so no one will look for trouble.
"There is a small town seventy miles ahead. I haven't asked about the name. We should rest in the town today." Yu Qingling said to Fang Chang and Liu Yuande.
She is a female hero in the world. She has seen many places she traveled around the world. She has also passed by this road and learned about the road conditions.
"Miss Yu has been here before? After walking, I have gained more knowledge and experience. I really 'read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles'." Liu Yuande didn't know about this, so he walked beside him with the hilt of his sword in his hand.
It was a short sword around his waist, which was made as exquisite as a work of art, like a master's work. Although the short sword had just been unsheathed, it had never fought with other weapons and had never drunk blood.
"Yes, there was once when I was going to see the sea, I took this road." Yu Qingling replied gracefully, as she walked forward, her red skirt swaying and seemed very unrestrained.
Liu Yuande looked at it and suddenly sighed: "I really envy Miss Yu's freedom."
"Brother Liu is just a peek at the leopard in his mind. This world is very far away from freedom..." Hearing Liu Yuande's words, she sighed, then shook her head, and there was a little sadness on her always lively face:
"It looks so easy and it's actually quite hard. Moreover, there are many people in the world and the relationship is even more messy. As the saying goes, once you enter the world, you are as deep as the sea, you can't help but see all kinds of people who can't help you... "
After hearing this, Liu Yuande remained silent. After a few breaths, he said, "Miss Yu is really hard, and there are almost 100% unsatisfactory things in the world. Perhaps, only Mr. Fang can be so free."
Fang Chang was just smiling but not speaking.
It is not suitable to say anything at this time. You can't tell them that you are really comfortable enough.
Showing off is not a good behavior after all.
It is easy to make others unbalanced.
It was almost winter and most of the food in the fields had been collected. The road we are now traveling is bare from far and near, with no gullies and no people can be hidden. Therefore, the probability of an enemy here is not high, and it is relatively safe.
After contacting each other over the past few hours, Fang Chang had a good impression of the two protagonists of the Great Tribulation.
Whether it is Liu Yuande, a scholar-born scholar or a martial artist Yu Qingling, they are all righteous and kind-hearted people, and they are good people in the general sense.
The road ahead is very flat.
From Yunzhong Mountain to the east, within a few hundred miles north and south, Daduizhou Prefecture is full of plains, all the way to the sea, and there are no more steep mountains.
Fang Chang asked, "Where are we going this trip? These officials were demoted five thousand miles away, but looking at the direction of this official road, it doesn't seem like going to the south?"
Yu Qingling replied with a smile: "Sir, I don't know that this road leads to the sea. There is a Chaoyungang in the southeast of this place. In Chaoyungang, the prison car will be replaced, the shackles will be removed, and the ships will be shipped together. At that time, it will be the most convenient way to go south to find the way."
Liu Yuande next to him also nodded: "I saw from the book that several palaces facing the sea in the east were still the sea thousands of years ago, but now the water recedes and the land is out, and people are now inhabited.
"Even so, along the eastern coast, there are large swaths of slush, and the sea and land are hard to separate, so there are no good ports. Moreover, the land is full of saline and alkali, and only reeds can survive, and there are not even a few villages."
"Only when the location is located in the southeast direction, with many hills and is much higher than the sea, there are suitable ports. Because it is located on a small peninsula that explores the sea, it always sees the sun and clouds earlier than elsewhere, so it is called "Chaoyun".
These words made the female hero in red next to her look flashed in her eyes. Since she has been practicing martial arts a lot and has few books, she is very respectful of knowledge. Similarly, she has always respected people who are knowledgeable.
Yu Qingling's feeling is that Brother Liu is very good and has a good reading, so he can get along well with him.
Unfortunately, because of the injustice of these officials, he gave up the imperial examination and entered the world. He didn't know when he would win fame again.
In her opinion, such good talents cannot benefit the world for officials, which is a great loss in the world.
But when he talked about this with Liu Yuande yesterday, the other party smiled:
"Now the court is so chaotic that even Zuo Langzhong Ling was sentenced to persuasion and exiled for five thousand miles. It could have benefited the world, but now it can only benefit the people of the border. In this situation, it is meaningless to be an official, and there are huge risks and is not worth it."
It sounds very reasonable.
As for Fang Xianchang next to him, although he and Brother Liu both called him "Mr. Fang" due to the other party's request, they knew in their hearts that Fang Xianchang was completely different from others.
According to rumors, once you enter the door of practice, you will no longer be an ordinary person and it is difficult to guess and understand.
However, Liu Yuande is an excellent scholar with a righteous spirit, and Yu Qingling is also a casual female hero in the world, so she is not too reserved when facing this immortal chief.
What's more, whether the other person's expression or temperament is like the spring breeze blowing across the fields, making people relax involuntarily and feel peaceful inside.
Just like the above incense.
So the three of them had a happy conversation and were not boring along the way.
For Fang Chang, one of the two people in front of him read a lot of books and the other is running around the world for many years. They have enough knowledge and do not follow the crowd about things. Instead, they have their own unique insights and enough thinking, and are good people who can talk equally.
After talking about it from all over the world, the topic returned to the attacker just now.
Fang Chang asked the two:
"Have you interrogated the attackers before? Who is the person behind them?"
Today, most of the two attackers who were healthy in their hands and feet were of course fled, but they ignored them and abandoned all the wounded people on the ground.
It was still these guards of the Jianghu who couldn't bear it, so they simply bandaged the prisoners and released them. Fang Chang's ears and eyes were good, but he didn't hear any interrogation of them, so he asked this question.
Liu Yuande held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his eyes were still stopped in the woods not far away.
Even though he was surrounded by masters and there was an unfathomable immortal standing next to him, he knew that nothing would happen, as the commander, was still not relieved.
After hearing the question beside him, Liu Yuande retracted his gaze: "It's useless. Although the enemies who came are good in combat, they are mostly mobs. They all came for money."
"Hotel?" Fang Chang exclaimed.
Liu Yuande nodded:
"Sir, they were all hired, and the reward was clear. They killed the doctor's son Zuo Liangping, and killed the rest of the people, and each of them was 150. Even our guards had a reward of 30 stakes each. Only the servants who were escorting the car had no money to make money."
"There are also part of the dead soldiers and guards of the wealthy families of various prefectures. Although they did not get the money, they were actually hired because the reward was given to their master's family, which was considered as exchanging people for money."
"For the big clans, this job is very good. Even if they are killed, there will be a lot of pensions, which is far beyond the cost of raising dead soldiers, and it is definitely not a loss."
"But the rewards of each prefecture are different, and these attackers are generally organized and assigned by the prefecture. As today, if these two teams are briefly interrogated, they can know that they are from two different prefectures, so they have no coordination with each other, and no unified command, otherwise it will be difficult."
Fang Chang didn't care much about these answers. He just frowned and said:
"Then the one who hired them? Can't you ask?"
Liu Yuande shook his head: "I can't ask, there are too many intermediate levels and cannot be traced back. I only know that most people from some places come forward, but various clues cannot be linked to each other, just like a bunch of messy lines that are entangled together. Going up further, it is impossible to verify at present."
Fang Chang then asked him: "How are the casualties these days."
"It's okay." Liu Yuande talked about this. Although his expression was optimistic, he was a little sad in his words: "Many injured and a few died. They were all heroes. Those with minor injuries were simply bandaged and still followed the escort. Those with serious injuries were rescued and had to send someone to take care of them and handle the funerals of the deceased brothers. In this way, since the departure, the scattered staff have been reduced by one tenth, alas..."
Yu Qingling next to him advised: "Brother Liu doesn't need to be too concerned. We people in the world walk in the world, just the word "righteous" is the first. The matter of escorting Zuo Langzhong Ling is a great righteousness in the world. Being injured is a merit, and death of an enemy will make you live up to this life."
"Similarly, if my younger sister misses her death one day, don't be sad for me. After the peace in the world is resolved, she will put a beautiful flower in front of my grave."
Liu Yuande was silent.
These words made him feel even more depressed. Fortunately, most scholars are good at self-comfort. Soon he adjusted his mindset and said:
"Now Mr. Fang is by his side and is no longer afraid of evil spirits. In addition, we are so strong, there will be no casualties below. After all, it is already halfway through the journey and it is almost time to Chaoyungang. When the doctor ordered them to go to sea, the matter will come to an end."
Fang Chang asked: "Where are the monsters like today often in the middle of the attack?"
"No." Liu Yuande shook his head, "Although we gangsters who come to guard are very skilled in martial arts, they are all mortals. If you don't take action, you will end up completely destroying the monster like this today."
"I have encountered it once before. Most of the dead were produced that time, which is different from this time. The other party did not know whether it was a human or a demon, so he did not take the initiative to come forward, but drove the evil spirits to attack."
"We have several people falling down in a row. We fought together to barely support it. Fortunately, the attack was broken by chance."
"I'm not afraid of making jokes by Mr. I actually knew that there were immortals and monsters in the world, but I had never seen them with my own eyes. It's okay for the immortals, but the monsters really doubted that they did not exist."
