Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    We went out early the next morning.  In order to avoid others' surveillance, we left in several groups. After we came out of the city, I changed into ordinary clothes and pretended to be an ordinary businessman, while Yingying and Yunyao dressed up as my wife and the other as an ordinary businessman.  My sister.  I originally thought that my careful departure still did not escape the surveillance of others. It was not that I was not careful, but that the enemy was too powerful.  Not long after I left, the news about my leaving the city was sent to Eunuch Lin from the palace.  In Eunuch Lin's room, which was only slightly inferior to the room of the Queen and others, Eunuch Lin listened to the report of his men with a gloomy face.  On the table next to him, a cup of hot tea was steaming.  "Is this true?" After listening to his subordinate's report, he asked in a low voice.  "Eunuch!" The man said with a respectful look on his face: "My subordinates saw this with their own eyes. Although Deng Long was divided into several groups and left the city, he was still seen by his brothers. There was also a carriage with him."  "Carriage?" Eunuch Lin was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know who is in that car?" "This subordinate doesn't know." The man said, "But yesterday, there was a lawsuit in the capital.  The second master's woman was brought back to the house by Deng Long!" Eunuch Lin's expression changed, then he grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it down, angrily: "You are such a blind thing, you think you have the emperor.  He can be so lawless! He didn't care about humiliating our family in Shanling, but now he dares to find fault with our younger brother. Isn't this deliberately trying to make our family look good?" His voice was neither yin nor yang, which made  If this didn't happen, it wouldn't be like next year. There would be a hint of gloominess in the house.  "Father-in-law, would you like me to send someone" After saying that, the subordinate made a motion of wiping his neck. The meaning was obvious, that is to kill and silence him!  "No!" Eunuch Lin said: "Now this Deng Long is a popular figure in front of the emperor. If anything happens to him, he will be suspected of being involved in our family. The only solution for now is to ask them to clean up their own mess.  Don't be caught by Deng Long. As long as he can't find anything, he will naturally return to the capital." The subordinate clasped his fists and said, "Then what should I do, please tell me clearly!" "In this case, hurry up and hurry up.  Go to the second master's place and tell him the news that Deng Long is going. Tell him to calm down these days. If anything happens, our family will accompany him to the end!" After thinking about it, he added: "As for  Ask him to take care of that little girl's matter for me!" "Yes!" The subordinate said with his fists in his hands, and then exited the room. When he went out, he gently closed the door.  The whole room suddenly became much more gloomy.  Eunuch Lin was sitting alone on a chair, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Deng Long! If you dare to provoke me, then don't blame our family for being rude!" When a ray of sunshine shone on the capital in the early morning, we were already  A few dozen miles away from the capital, everyone had gathered. Yingying and Yunyao were sitting in the carriage, while we were riding horses.  Behind us, several carts of goods were pulled by horse-drawn carriages. In addition to some things placed on the surface, there were some quilts underneath.  Yunyao in the car looked particularly anxious.  From time to time, she poked her head out to see where she was going, but she couldn't see anything. When she came to the capital, she always took the narrow streets, but when we went there, we took the main roads, and she didn't know the way at all.  There are a relatively large number of people in our group, but fortunately we have goods to cover up. In the eyes of others, we are just a group of businessmen.  And those people around are the escorts from the escort agencies hired to ensure safety. This situation is very common in Dazhou, it is not surprising!  Immediately, my mind felt completely different, mainly because I was a little worried.  According to Yunyao's words.  It had been almost a month and a half since she left her hometown, and her parents and the scholar had been arrested when she left. Now that more than a month has passed, whether they are still alive or not is a big question.  Now I can only ask God to protect Mr. Lin from being too evil and torturing several people to death.  And I also had a vague hunch that things might not be that simple this time.  Each with his own thoughts, we speeded up and hurried on.  But everything went smoothly these days, and there were no accidents on the road. Except for the occasional people who looked at us with unkind eyes, but when they saw so many of us, they had no choice but to give up.  So about eight days after leaving the capital, we finally arrived at the border of Jiangzhou.  Jiangzhou is entirely located in hilly areas and is relatively remote.  Although Xiongjiang passes through Jiangzhou, it is far away from Jiangzhou City. However, this does not prevent Jiangzhou from becoming a prosperous city, because there are countless mines in the mountains of Jiangzhou, producing ordinary iron and steel.  In addition to the mines, there are many gold mines.  And where we are standing now is not far from Jiangzhou City. It is already afternoon. According to Yunyao's description, we can reach Jiangzhou in about a day and a half.  The issue we are worried about now is accommodation at night.  Now we are at the foot of a big mountain. The mountain is full of dense woods. From time to time, we can hear the roars of wild beasts. Behind us, we have climbed countless mountains like this. We really don¡¯t know when Yunyao was there.  How did he arrive in the capital alone?  When we exhausted all our strength and finally climbed over the mountainFinally, a small village appeared at the foot of the mountain. This made us feel happy. At least we would not sleep on the mountain at night.  But the only thing that makes us strange is that it is already dusk. According to general habits, the village should be filled with smoke from cooking, but in the village in front of us, only a few houses have smoke from cooking. This situation is somewhat suspicious.  With a little strangeness and some precautions, we finally arrived at the village in front of us before sunset, but after entering, we discovered why there were only a handful of cooking smoke in the entire village.  Because the entire village has basically been destroyed, some houses in the village have collapsed, and it is a scene of decay.  We slowly walked through the village, and finally settled in an abandoned house, but it looked like we could barely live in it. We first gathered all the carriages in a circle in the small courtyard.  Then a few Hades were responsible for feeding the horses, and the rest were responsible for cooking.  And Yingying, Yunyao Huanjianrufeng and I began to inquire about the whole village.  Walking on the bluestone road in the village, the sound of the soles of shoes touching the bluestone is particularly loud in this small village, and from time to time it scares the birds in the grass on the road.  When we were on the top of the mountain, we had already seen that the entire village was very large. From this, we could see that there were already a lot of people living in this village, and judging from the abandoned appearance of some of the houses, it was not long ago.  After walking for a long time, Yingying asked a little strangely: "We have been walking for so long, how come we haven't seen anyone? It's so strange!" What Yingying said is also the strange thing for us. What is the reason?  To have most of the entire village disappear?  Could it be a plague?  But there were no traces of funerals at or near the entrances of these houses.  Then there must be some other reason for the disappearance of the entire village, but we don't know what the reason is.  "Everyone, be careful! This village feels very weird!" I ordered in a low voice, and then turned to Yun Yao and asked, "You walked here a while ago and you felt hurt by this pestle's corpse." Yun Yao shook her head and said: "  I have never walked here. The reason why I judged that we still have a day and a half is because of that mountain!" After that, she pointed to a towering mountain in the distance and said, "That's called Qingshan, and at the foot of the mountain is the river.  Zhoucheng!" "Then this is strange!" I listened to Yunyao's words, "Since this is not far from Jiangzhou, why are all the people here missing?" Just when I was wondering, Yingying suddenly pointed  The front man said: "Look, there is someone there. We might as well go and ask and find out?" Following the direction of her finger, we saw several houses not far away. There was an old man sitting at the door of the house, and on the  There was also a waft of smoke coming from the kitchen.  "Let's go! Go over and take a look!" As soon as I saw someone in front of me, I suddenly became interested.  With a few people we walked towards the old man.  The old man also saw us coming this way, stood up quickly, immediately entered the kitchen, and closed the door.  We were suddenly a little puzzled: We are not bad people, why do you behave like this when you see us?  I winked at Jian Rufeng, and he immediately stepped forward, knocked on the door, and said at the same time, "Old man, open the door! We are not bad people!" However, there seemed to be no reaction to Jian Rufeng, and the door remained open.  Close tightly.  But this door is not really a door. It is just made of some ordinary wood. If we are bad guys, I estimate that this so-called door can be destroyed quickly.  Seeing that Jian Rufeng had no effect, Yingying on the side pursed his lips and smiled and said, "I guess others were frightened by your fierce look, so it's better for me!" After saying that, he walked to the door and knocked gently.  Knocked on the door and said: "Old man, please open the door quickly. We are just businessmen passing by. We are not bad people. We just want to ask you something. We will leave immediately after asking. Don't worry!" After Yingying said this several times,  After that, an old voice came from inside: "I don't know anything, please leave quickly!" There was a trace of unconcealable fear in the voice.  Several of us looked at each other: What on earth made this old man so scared?
