Chapter 124 The Road
In a wilderness, there are mountains and rocks on both sides. The avenue formed by artificially clearing roadblocks and weeds extends endlessly, blending with the distant sky.
With Xiang Yang, the escort staff from the Yamen, and the Zhou family's convoy as a team, the team slowly moved along the avenue.
Xiang Yang sat on a pure black horse with pure fur. He hung a water bag and a bag on one side of the horse, held a knife in his left hand and a reins in his right hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the walking posture of the dark horse below. Compared with his own horse stance of practicing the twelve-way Tan Le, he also had a different understanding.
It has been a week since Xiang Yang left the county government. He is eager to travel every day and has no time to practice external skills. He can only practice Quanzhenxin method internally and see the scenery on the road.
The rest of the people, Miss Zhou, had a carriage for transportation, and one carriage was loaded with gifts and belongings for everyone. Although the others were rushing to the road, they didn't think so because they were all young and powerful men who were even capable of fists and feet.
There were not many people in the government, with only five constables, and they were all old acquaintances of Xiang Yang in the yamen. Although Chen Ning, who was escorted, was only a scholar, but he was strong and had internal energy, and he did not drag him down.
In general, although the team was complicated and the staff was numerous, the speed of travel was not slow, which made Xiang Yang breathe a sigh of relief. He would be able to get free one day earlier and not be this big nanny.
"Constable Xiang, it's getting late. Should we find a place to start the fire and cook?"
This time, the head of the Zhou family was a smart man in his thirties. He was a good man in his arms along the way. He trotted a few steps to Xiang Yang and looked up at Xiang Yang who was on his head and was on his horse for comments.
There was no way. Before leaving, the Zhou family told him that everything was dominated by Xiang Yang's will. He only had the right to suggest and had no right to make decisions, including those in the government.
"Okay, everything is up to you, so you don't need to ask me about everything. By the way, how far is we still have to go from Qingjiang Mansion?"
"The villain has calculated that with his current foot strength, he will hurry up during the day and rest at night. He will be able to arrive at Qingjiang Mansion in five days. If he walks the path, it will be faster, but the safety cannot be guaranteed."
Xiang Yang nodded, waved his hand to let the man step back and get off the horse, he turned over and dismounted, patted the dark horse's head, looked up at the slightly dark sky, and suddenly a feeling of homesickness rose.
Although I was only a week away from home, I saw all the strange scenery along the way, and familiar people and things disappeared, and anyone would feel moved.
On the other hand, the head of the Zhou family arranged for people to clear a clearing of open space near the wilderness on one side of the avenue as a place to camp, and also let people find water sources, make fires and cook, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
When the sky became dark, several bonfires had already lit up to illuminate the camp where everyone was surrounded. Xiang Yang chewed the dry and hard steamed buns by himself and swallowed them hard with the clear water in the water bag. The rest of the people were not much different from Xiang Yang.
The Miss Zhou family held a small meal under the service of two maids, and ate pastries that were characteristic of chefs at home, but it was understandable that girls could eat more meticulously.
Not long after, people on the road were attracted in groups of people and borrowed fire from the head of the Zhou family to buy dry food. There were about a dozen people who wanted to find a place to rest nearby.
In the wild, many times, single people dare not fall asleep, one is afraid of wild animals and poisonous insects, and the other is afraid of evil people and evil people. Only when they gather together and become more popular will everyone dare to rest, otherwise it is said that humans are social animals.
Over the past few days, Xiang Yang and others have met these people almost every night and don’t care much, but it seems to be a little different tonight.
"Xiaoxiang, you may have to be careful tonight. If you look at those two people, there will be big problems.
On the surface, he looked tired and blood-bloated. The boots under his feet were seriously worn. He should have been on a long journey and had not had a rest for a long time.
But if you look closely, you will find that the two of them are full of energy and their every move is not as tired as they are pretending to be walking for a long time to win our sympathy.
There is also a tall right hand hidden in the cuffs. Although there is no clue, I smelled a bloody smell, which should be hurt.
And you see these two people calm on the surface, but they glanced at the road when they came from time to time, and I think something was wrong."
A constable from the county government quietly touched Xiang Yang and whispered, while lying in a vague manner. He also placed his eyes on the east corner and talked to the Zhou family guards.
Xiang Yang showed a hint of surprise and also looked at the tall and short ones. He was slightly thin, and at his thirties, he was kind and didn't look like a villain.
However, he would not doubt the judgement of this constable. The other party has been an old constable for more than ten years. In terms of martial arts, he is naturally far better than the other party, but when it comes to his experience and observation skills outside, he can't catch up with the other party even if he beats him.
"What do you think you're driving them away? You want to escort Chen Ning, and I have to worry about the safety of Miss Zhou's family. I really don't want to cause trouble."
Xiang Yang also noticed the difference between the two people at the reminder of the county jail. However, he could not see what the two had experienced in detail, but he could see that they should have martial arts. This is different from what they said before that they were ordinary people.
"This is actually the best way, but it's hard to say about the Zhou family. The Zhou family has been entertaining these people these days, doing good deeds. If there is no clear evidence and rushing people away, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the Zhou family and the other pedestrians."
Xiang Yang had no choice but to call the head of the Zhou family to his side and let the county magistrate repeat the words just now.
"Manager Zhou, your Zhou family is in action. We outsiders dare not meddle in other people's business. It's just about safety and avoid unnecessary trouble. It's better to let them leave."
Manager Zhou was indeed a little unhappy, but it was not that he thought he should not drive these two people away, but that he thought he should drive them away as soon as possible but he was delayed until now.
"Don't worry, Constable Xiang, I'll do it now, let them leave immediately, giving them some dry food and water is a perfect end to the end."
Xiang Yang and the county jail constable were both out of mind. The Zhou family is a businessman. Although they have always been kind to others and have a wide range of connections, they also have to see whether it is profitable and whether it will have an impact on themselves.
Now Xiang Yang and the county jail constable said at the same time that the two people had problems, so they would not care about the others. Naturally, they put their own safety first and all others had to stand aside.
As Manager Zhou said that, he walked towards the two of them. Xiang Yang winked at the constable beside him, and the other party stood up and followed Manager Zhou in case there was a conflict.
As expected, the two of them really started to quarrel and stayed in the Zhou family's camp and refused to leave. The other people who stayed here like them looked ugly, but in the end the Zhou family didn't drive them away and didn't say anything.
At this moment, Xiang Yang suddenly stood up and looked at the road when he came. A long snake formed by torches was winding towards him, and the sound of fine but neat footsteps changed.
He couldn't guarantee the whereabouts of these people, nor did he know if it was for the two of them, but he must be careful, after all, it was in the wilderness.
