Chapter 75 , the road is difficult
Zhao Feibai did not take action after all, and was silent, allowing his thick-backed sword to be taken away. The soldier pointed at Mayor Huang and Zhao Feibai and whispered loudly, "The two violated the ban and did not respect the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty. Each of them received ten whips."
Mayor Huang and Zhao Feibai were tied up by soldiers. After three whips, Fu Qing heard the movement and came out to check it out and stopped it. Fu Qing explained to Zheng Lin, but his voice was a little cold, "The Western Regions are not as strict as the Central Plains, and they don't know that they can't lead weapons. It was my negligence and I didn't tell them, look."
"What does the young marshal say? Those who don't know will not be punished." Zheng Lin smiled and did not dare to offend the powerful and powerful people of the Great Qin Saint Zhenglong. She stepped forward in two steps at once and scolded the soldiers with a dark face, "Get down quickly, this is our people of Great Qin, see what you are doing."
The soldier showed an unexpected look on his face, and of course he did not dare to disobey. It was not like this usually. What happened today? He scratched his head and took the whip and stepped back in disappointment.
Zhao Feibai stared at the retreating soldier and hummed, "What's your name?"
The soldier was arrogant and snorted, "Ha, a refugee, dare to ask me for my name"
Zhao Feibai also smiled evilly, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I remember how you look. Today's things will be returned in the future."
The soldier was furious and was about to step forward again. Zheng Lin snorted coldly, waved her hand, indicating that the matter would end here.
At midnight, Fu Qing found Zhao Feibai who was sleeping beside the fire, "It's okay, brother."
Zhao Feibai was depressed and complained, "What could be done? If he hadn't followed these people, he would have taken him in the head with a knife, and he would have been so angry. He went south from Mobei and killed countless people, and had never been so angry before." He seemed to be a killer butcher.
Fu Qing was also happy. Zhao Feibai was not old and said in a very young tone. How could a child say that he was the devil king who killed people? "Fengxiang is not our territory. If you don't have cousins, you should restrain yourself. I'll talk about it when I return to Chang'an. I will definitely seek justice for you. Our Western Army people cannot be bullied."
Zhao Feibai smiled and waved his hand, "No, I can do it myself."
The next morning, everyone left Sancha Pavilion at the handover and set out for Fenggeling. From Tianshui to Fengxiang, there were mountain roads all the way, which was not easy to walk. The soldiers of Fengxiang County were not as easy to talk to as the previous counties. They urged them all the way, and the old, young, women and children began to fall behind and could not keep up. The green mountains and green waters feasted the people of the Dushu Town Town. Born in the desert and grew up in the desert. They felt extremely happy when they saw the lush forests and the continuous streams of clear water. Zhao Feibai was all the way.
Shaking his head, these townsmen had never seen the world. They said in the town that there were endless forests and endless clear water all year round. They didn't believe it. They just pulled the past business travelers to prove it to them, and they didn't believe it. They were stubborn and cute. Now it should be believed. Zhao Feibai, the winner's posture raised his proud head, and he ran around the town people like a monkey, helping the old man behind him, and also showing his promiscuity.
I walked to Fengge Ridge in the evening. The sky was gloomy and it started to rain. The townspeople cheered in the rain. It was raining. How rare. Some young people have never seen the legendary rain since they were born. However, the joy of celebrating the rain was cut off by the guards of Fengxiang County. They urged everyone to go on the road quickly. The day of migration was determined. It was really good for ordinary people. The military town had no time to move, and the rule should be killed. Not only the townspeople were killed, but the guards could not escape. This heavy rain made Zheng Lin feel unhappy, and the guards were also furious. I don’t know why they were so anxious. The rule to be killed was already empty and no one cared about it.
It is even harder to walk in the rain, and the rain has not weakened. The first heavy rain since the beginning of spring has become heavier and heavier, and the roads have become muddy. Camels are not adapted to the environment and are in a sluggish way, and the carriages are trapped in the mud, relying on everyone to push them to trek little by little.
The rain weakened at night and seemed to have stopped. I rested at Fenggeling Station for a night. The next day, the rain started to fall again and became heavier. After walking for a day, it took me more than ten miles. The defenders of Fengxiang County began to get angry, riding horses and cursing, complaining that these townsmen had taken on their chores. The rain was hung on their thick armor, which could not destroy their aggression.
Zheng Lin couldn't suppress her inner anxiety. If the rain kept going, she would miss her life. If she lost her time, she should be killed.
The road ahead is a long canyon, with heavy rain, the streams in the mountains become turbid, the water in the valley rises, and the water accumulated on the repaired road has passed its ankles, and occasionally large stones roll from the mountains with the current.
Zheng Lin immediately ordered to abandon the heavy luggage, carry only the soft and lightweight luggage, and quickly move forward with light and fast. Three miles ahead is Shijiatan, Dichuan. Shijiatan is an open place. The terrain of Liyuan Town on the south side is high, and the entire base is a strong large stone. Where can I wait for the heavy rain to stop.
Mayor Huang had never seen the world, but the scene in front of him made him know that Zheng Lin and Sima's decision was right. The road in the middle of the canyon would soon be flooded by the torrents on both sides of the valley. If everyone did not walk to a high place, they would all be washed away. The power of the water was no less than the sandstorm in the sea of calamus. Mayor Huang sat in awe and prayed at the roaring stream.
After Mayor Huang finished praying, he gave an order. All the carriages, large luggage, pots and pans, etc. were thrown away, and the elderly and young people continued to move forward. Some people were reluctant to leave, and there was no other way in the face of natural disasters. After throwing things, the team was much faster, and the horses and camels lost their burdens, and they walked lightly. In less than an hour, they arrived at Liyuan Town, which was on a higher terrain.
The guards of Liyuan Town took Fengxiang's guards and his men into the town's mansion and arranged for the townsmen to free up rooms for the guards to shelter from the rain. The townsmen of Kushu Town were not so lucky. They stood in the open space outside the town, stood on the edge of the huge rock, and looked at the road flooded by the torrent under their feet, and secretly thanked that they were growing in the desert, and they were delighted with the rain, and they didn't feel uncomfortable getting wet.
Mayor Huang stood in the rain, and the rain flowed down his cheeks. He thought, maybe it was his own business, maybe it was the future, to find a better life for the townspeople and live a good life in Chang'an.
Fu Qing observed Mayor Huang. The world was in chaos and Qimen should be born. If Mayor Huang was really a member of the Qimen, he should find an apprentice. After these days, Zhao Feibai was not like Mayor Huang’s apprentice. Qimen Qimen, who is the person from Qimen in Kushu Town?
Zheng Lin sent someone to pay the money, and Mayor Huang invited the guard office. Several people sat together. Zheng Lin was not vague, and his tone was cold, "Young Marshal, there was an unexpected situation. After this heavy rain stopped, the road was difficult to move. If all the staff arrived, we would definitely lose our time."
After paying the bill, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What does Zheng Sima mean?"
"The Qin Dynasty rule is to be executed if it is lost, and it is not hiding the young marshal. Even if it is lost, you are fine, and I am fine, but these soldiers and the townsmen under him will definitely not be able to survive according to the law."
Fu Qingyi smiled, "I have my own arrangements, so don't worry Zheng Sima."
Huang Zongquan was a little worried. He thought what Zheng Sima said was reasonable, "Which according to Sima's meaning, what should I do?"
"Don't take the old, weak, women and children, please don't take them. When you settle down in Zhouzhi, complete the handover procedures, and then send someone to pick them up. If you have to force your way, I don't think they can survive."
Huang Zongquan agreed. He didn't want to take the incomplete Kushu Town to Zhouzhi. The more people can survive, the better. Fengxiang is already a place directly under the jurisdiction of Jingji. It is relatively stable. There are no elusive horse thieves in the Western Regions. He gave Zheng Lin a big gift, "As these days, I have to take care of Zheng Sima, and Kushu Town is grateful. If Zheng Sima asks for it in the future, Huang will do his best."
Zheng Lin waved her hand, "It is necessary to receive the emperor's kindness in the world, so mayor Huang is not polite." Then he dealt with Qing, "Young Marshal, look."
"According to you", Fu Qing said lightly, feeling a little unhappy, so what if you lose your time? It won't be completely executed without saying that the law will not be implemented thoroughly. The emperor wants to find the descendant of Qimen. Even if the time is lost, these people are fine, and they cannot be said explicitly. It is like a bone in the throat, which is very uncomfortable. Zheng Lin is so concerned, I am afraid that there is no secret that cannot be told, so it is better to be careful.
