Chapter Thirteen Firecrackers and Bloodlines
Shu Yan looked closely and found that it was a shiny black musket.
Cheng San put the musket back into his arms and looked around. Seeing that the pursuers had not arrived, he lowered his head and started plundering. After the plundering was completed, he pulled Shu Yan and the two children and hurried away.
They walked for a long time until they could not see the body of the military man, and then stopped.
Shu Yan gasped and asked Cheng San.
"Who are you? Firearms are not something that ordinary people have."
Shu Yan is right. Firearms are important tools in the court and are used to fight against foreign enemies for a long time, especially the nomadic peoples in the northwest border.
And because the process is particularly complex, the quantity is limited.
Cheng San smiled.
Cheng San: "I didn't even ask my godmother, you actually asked me about your identity. You are too bullying. I am just an ordinary person."
Shu Yan naturally didn't believe it. If this guy was an ordinary person, then there would be a ghost.
But Cheng San emphasized again and again.
Cheng San: "I am just an ordinary person. My parents work as farmers at home. However, my talent makes my godmother think I am not an ordinary person."
Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to hit someone.
However, many emperors in ancient times were born in Mud Legs. Although Cheng San was extremely smart, why couldn't he be Mud Legs? He had to give him a noble title so that he could be the godson of the old lady.
Shu Yan couldn't help but sigh that he had not yet been included in the feudal system, but he had subtly agreed.
Shu Yan was tired of leaving, so Cheng San carried her onto the donkey. She was an old woman sitting on the donkey, her posture was the same as the young wife who was returning to her parents' home.
Shu Yan sat down for a while and then got off. She let the sleepy little fish fall asleep on the donkey.
However, Yu'an walked seriously, frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Shu Yan couldn't help pinching the child's hand and said with concern: "What do you think so well?"
Yu'an looked at Shu Yan and Cheng San.
"I'm wondering, that rebel general, what is he doing here?"
Cheng San tightly held the dagger in his hand and said something quietly.
"I guess this general was excluded from the Han army and always asked him to do such thankless work."
It is basically a man-made flood, then raid behind enemy lines and plunder the people's wealth.
Then the reputation of this young general is really bad, so it can't be broken any more.
Long Yun rode his horse and saw two corpses from afar. Long Yun turned over and dismounted, and saw the gun left by the firearm on the chest of the deceased.
Long Yun frowned immediately.
"People from the court? Could it be that Su Hu's person be nearby?"
Long Yun thought for a moment, then turned over to the horse. He was following the old man, wearing heavy white mosquitoes. It was obvious that a relative of his family had passed away.
The old man: "The army of the imperial court will definitely not stay here for a long time. I heard that a plague broke out in Yingzhou. Although it is still in the early stages, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not become a major plague during the Tianbao period. At that time, Jiangnan will fight even if he wants to fight.
Can't get up."
Long Yun: "So what military advisor means?"
The old man: "Search for a few days, if we can't find it, we will quickly search for supplies and rush back to the capital. After all, guarding the capital is a big deal."
Long Yun nodded, the sound of horse hooves faded away, and a force gradually disappeared from the distance.
It is exactly the direction Shu Yan and others are moving forward.
After a few days of leaving, Shu Yan and the others gradually realized something was wrong. Although they had already discovered the plague during the days they were in Huang County, they never thought it would be so serious.
They passed by the village next to the official road, and many people had already left their land and started running away.
This is the season for harvesting spring rice in Jiangnan, but large areas of rice are not harvested.
Shu Yan couldn't help but worry.
