Gu Qingfeng died, and Gu Yanlang's only child was gone.
With a touch of horror and violent anger, Gu Yanhui immediately led his troops through Lantian Pass and headed west; he was going to Qizhou to tell his elder brother about this matter in person.
Pan Kang tricked Gu Yanhui away with just a few sets of clothes and a few words, and the crisis in Huayin County disappeared immediately.
At this time, Zhu Li, Pan Kang and others found the county magistrate, county lieutenant, county magistrate and others of Huayin County and told them everything that had happened in Huayin City.
As long as it is a conspiracy, it cannot see the light of day.
Although the crisis in Huayin has been temporarily resolved, no one can say for sure whether Gu Yanlang will be able to find out the truth in the future. If such a day really comes, Huayin County will still suffer a disaster.
Telling the county magistrate and others the whole story would help them to be mentally prepared and either disperse the people or strengthen the defense, etc. Of course, these were not Zhu Li's business.
Wenshan is located in Maozhou, Sichuan, and is adjacent to Mianzhou and Longzhou.
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Maozhou was renamed Nanhuizhou. Because at the same time, Huining Town in Gansu was also called Huizhou, so here we also call it Maozhou to distinguish it.
If you want to go to Wenshan, you must enter Hanzhong from Guanzhong and then go to Maozhou from Hanzhong.
On the road from Hanzhong to Sichuan, a group of people of various shapes and sizes were walking together. At first glance, the whole team consisted of all kinds of people, including generals, soldiers, warriors, common people, monks, Taoists, etc. It was so incongruous that it was impossible to guess what kind of people they were.
At the front of the team was a young warrior riding a red horse.
Behind the warrior was a detached Taoist priest who was driving a carriage and following closely behind the young man.
On the left side of the carriage was a big man with lion eyes sitting astride a horse and holding a halberd; behind the big man, two sturdy old men who looked strong but still vigorous were riding on two fine horses, pointing and talking, and discussing something in a low voice from time to time, looking very leisurely.
On the right side of the carriage, a burly man who looked like a bear or a tiger was driving his horse forward without looking around; next to him was a young man with a black face like a wheel, who was riding on the horse upside down with his butt sticking up, with a shy baby face, and was grinning and showing great courtesy to a female general behind him.
"Hey, my lady, why do you have to think so hard? Wouldn't it be better to marry a husband and live a comfortable life? Why do you have to wield swords and guns? In such a chaotic time, fighting and killing are men's business. It would be better for you to stay at home, embroider, cook, massage your husband's back and warm his bed. That would be much better."
"My lady should not be married yet. Let me tell you, there is a hero in our Maoshan New Camp. He is majestic and handsome. Countless young girls and wives in the new camp are secretly in love with him."
"But guess what, that hero has lived for 19 years, and he has remained untainted by the mud, clean and pure, and as pure as a jade. Looking at the whole world, only a beauty like you can be worthy of him. If you are interested, how about I introduce you to someone?"
... ...
Even though the young man was making a lot of noise and spit flying everywhere, the female general with a solemn face ignored him; even a blind man could see the other party's little tricks, so how could the female general not see that the other party just wanted to seduce her
It's a pity that this guy looks too ugly. Even if they kiss each other in the future, her wife will probably have to bend down, which is too uncomfortable.
Behind the female general, there were dozens of palace soldiers. In the middle of the palace soldiers, there were two horse-drawn carriages. In one of the carriages, there was a burly man serving on each side.
Although the other carriage had no one to escort it, there was a monk sitting in the driver's seat who was obviously not someone to be trifled with.
Behind the palace soldiers were dozens of civilians, trailing behind them.
This group of people was none other than Zhu Li and his group.
After resolving the issue in Huayin County, Zhu Li did not delay for a moment. He immediately called Dong Ningyang and set off south.
But as soon as he left, countless people followed him. Geng Lian even quit his position as the captain of the Tiande Army and followed Zhu Li directly, looking like a family general.
Shu He, Wang Qian and the other four were originally chasing Zhu Li, so there was no reason for them not to catch up.
As for Qi Miaoge, Pan Kang and others, they also followed Zhu Li from a distance, out of curiosity, exploration, or perhaps other purposes.
As for those common people, they were all people in Huayin City who had been helped by Zhu Li. Among them were Zhao Sanshan’s family of four, Han Xun and others.
No matter what, following Zhu Li, at least they would not be short of food. If originally, these people were just guessing, then the journey they had taken made them even more determined to stay and Zhu Li did not abandon them.
Whenever they stopped by for a meal or stayed in a hotel, they would not leave anyone out and would all have a share. Fortunately, Dong Ningyang brought a lot of money, otherwise, this group of people alone would have bankrupted Zhu Li.
It was almost noon, and people and horses were exhausted.
However, at this time, a small town ahead was already in sight.
The town was not very big, and most people didn't pay much attention to it.
Because on a big tree at the intersection, there was a big sign three people high that instantly attracted their attention. On the sign fluttering in the wind, there were four big characters "There is an Inn" which were very eye-catching. When they were hungry, they came across the inn, so who would care whether the town was big or not.
Seeing the inn, countless people's stomachs began to growl involuntarily, especially the children, who were extremely excited. Although they could not read, they were familiar with the image of the inn.
Just like the fast food restaurants such as "KFC", "Yao De" and "Ho Xiang Lai" in later generations, the child cannot read, but he just knows what he can eat when entering such facilities.
These little kids stretched their necks eagerly and looked at the figure walking in the front.
There was no other reason. Based on the experience gained during this period, a rule had been formed in their young hearts: as long as the kindhearted brother riding the red horse stopped for a rest, they could take the opportunity to have a good meal.
The owner of this inn really knows how to choose a location. The entire inn is located right on the edge of the town. Anyone coming from the north will see his sign at the first sight when they see the town.
Like this roadside inn, one side is open-air, so the number of diners can be seen at a glance.
The inn is quite large, as can be seen from the dozens of tables lined up at the door.
However, due to the war, business was not good at all. Looking in front of the inn, there were only six or seven people eating in such a large place. Most of them were passers-by who just asked for a bowl of boiled water and chewed the dry food they brought with them slowly.
There was a table near the middle, with two people sitting on each side of the table. Their table was quite rich, at least there was wine and food, so they could have a drink.
These are two women. One of them is wearing a black veil and has a well-proportioned figure with exquisite curves. Even just one look at her can make people drool.
The other person was dressed in white, with a very beautiful and clean face, especially her pair of eyes like spring water, which seemed to be able to speak and were very attractive.
The arrival of Zhu Li and his party immediately attracted the attention of others, and the innkeeper went to greet them happily. Even if each person in this party only ate one steamed bun and drank a bowl of porridge, he would still make money without doing business for ten days.
"My dear, what would you like to eat?" The innkeeper was a sensible man and he went straight to Zhu Li. Obviously, he was the one who would pay the bill. Didn't he see the countless pairs of eyes staring at him eagerly
Zhu Li looked back at everyone and said expertly, "Make more porridge and steamed buns. Also, each table should have two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and four stir-fries. That's all."
This is standard all the way here. We cannot ignore the people following behind him. We must know the truth that "saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
Before Zhu Li finished speaking, he heard the innkeeper shout excitedly, "Okay, my dear, everyone, please wait a moment, I will go and prepare it right away."
Without Zhu Li's even asking them to do so, everyone found their seats and sat down.
There were no more, no less, four people at each table. There was even a little kid who had just learned to walk. He acted like a little adult and occupied one side of the table. It was obvious that he was also considered a "person".
For a moment, there was a little chaos in front of the inn. In the chaos, the woman sitting in the middle, dressed in black veil, mask and black silk, suddenly turned around, and her bright eyes suddenly looked towards the Red Hare.
With just one glance, a brilliant light suddenly burst out from the woman's eyes. She slowly turned her head and whispered, "Red Hare?"
"Hmph, in the Central Plains, I have never heard of a second Red Hare. Zhu Li, I was just planning to plot against you again, and you came to me on your own initiative. It is truly a case of 'looking for something without any effort'."
Her whisper immediately attracted the attention of the beautiful woman. The woman in white raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Palace Master, is there something wrong with these people?"
"Not right?" The black-veiled woman groaned after hearing this, then slowly said, "More than that, as a high-ranking official in a vassal state, he doesn't know how to respect himself. He came to my Shu land without dying. Is he mocking me for not plotting to kill him last time?"
The beautiful woman obviously had no idea what the palace master was talking about. Although she heard what the other party said clearly, she did not understand what he meant. Just as she was about to continue asking questions, a groan-like cry suddenly came from behind the woman in black veil.
"Oh, oh my god, is this a fairy descending to earth? My heart is about to jump out, how could there be such a heart-wrenching beauty in the world?" This exclamation immediately attracted the attention of others.
Following the sound, everyone looked over. At some point, a black shadow like a wheel suddenly appeared behind the woman in black gauze and black silk.
Looking closely, that person was none other than Zhou Ran.
At this moment, his small eyes, which were not much bigger than mouse droppings, finally opened much larger than bean sprouts. A few crystal glittering streaks of saliva hung unevenly on the corners of his mouth, like icicles hanging upside down on the eaves in the cold winter.
The pair of eyes that were staring to the extreme, with a faint green light and unparalleled sharpness, seemed to penetrate the clothes of the woman in black gauze and directly peek into the scenery inside. The person covered his chest with one hand and his lower abdomen with the other, moaning incessantly, his face full of lust and passion.
