Chapter 242 Yishan's arrival, testing and departure
"Huh~"
"Is this Fengming County?"
On the cement-built official road, a group of escorts and porters were walking. The red-haired young man in the lead looked at Fengming County not far away and sighed.
Next to him, the black-haired Fang Zeming was not interested.
This group of people were naturally Qiu Yishan and others who came to investigate the Chen family.
The closer they got to Fengming County, the more cautious Qiu Yishan became. He would look at the gray-white hard road under his feet from time to time.
He always had a little smile on his face.
Soon, they arrived at a tea stall.
An old man wearing a bamboo hat was selling herbal tea, leaning against a tree and waving a palm-leaf fan.
"Old man, give each of us a bowl of herbal tea. It's really hot under the sun." Qiu Yishan wiped his sweat.
"Okay, are you going to Fengming County?"
"Well, we are going to Tianhe County..."
"..."
Qiu Yishan wanted to get some information from the old man, and he was very open in his words. The two of them chatted very enthusiastically.
When Qiu Yishan set out again, he had a rough idea in his mind.
"Let's go, old man, business is booming!"
"Slow down, slow down."
When Qiu Yishan and others walked away, the old man returned to the tea stall, quickly wrote something on a short piece of paper, and stuffed it under the feet of a pigeon.
Looking at the direction where Qiu Yishan and others disappeared, the old man showed disdain.
"You young man, you are pretending to be with me. How can a escort company tell you the destination so easily? You are also trying to get information from me, bah!"
"I used to be a gangster!"
The old man returned to the big tree and lay down comfortably.
As for his origins...
Qiu Yishan, who was not very familiar with some of the rules of the underworld, had not yet discovered that he and his men had been exposed, and was still on the way to Fengming County.
After the exchange with the old man just now, he found that the Chen family, which occupied the three counties in the southern part of Hexia, was not simple.
At least, in this area, someone can sell herbal tea safely, which is not a situation that can occur in other spheres of influence.
The old man's face was faintly ruddy, and his voice was loud, and he was obviously not hungry.
According to what he said, Fengming County has a clean government and the people can all get food, and Tianhe County, where the Chen family is located, is even more amazing. It has been carrying out construction and has countless troops under its command.
Often sending troops to strangle bandits and tyrants in the territory, it is considered to be deeply loved by the people.
Of course, it is not without inappropriateness.
? For example, the Fengchi Eighteen Bandits, like a little black in a white, is really eye-catching, but these Eighteen Bandits seem to be very aware of the current situation.
For a long time, because of its knowledge of the times and the fact that Fengchi Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, the Chen family was too lazy to take action against it. After these years of development, the Eighteen Bandits are now the most powerful mountain bandit force in the southern area of Hexia.
These are what the old man said.
Qiu Yishan didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, what the old man said were things that everyone here knew.
"This Chen family, roughly speaking, is a family with a good family style."
For such a force that is deeply trusted by the local people, it is generally not possible to solve it by rough means, because the other party is deeply rooted.
Especially their first step is to secretly control, open up roads, and collect resources. They don't want to make any big noise, which will not be worth the loss.
Soon, they passed by a sentry box.
They saw the soldiers in the sentry box wearing tight clothes. There were black-haired Yue people, red-haired Yan people, white-clothed people, Gu people, Yi people...
It can be said to be diverse.
"Let's go into the city."
When they arrived at Fengming County, there were dozens of soldiers wearing iron armor at the gate of the city, who looked very elite at first glance.
Qiu Yishan queued up to pay the entrance fee and walked into the county town.
Hearing, there was a bustling crowd!
Seeing, it was all prosperity!
It was not the kind of prosperity of the heyday, but a kind of market atmosphere. The vendors were lined up in an orderly manner on both sides. There were women holding children bargaining with the vendors. There was the aroma of various foods. There were men in shorts patrolling left and right. Some people sprinkled white and gray powder in the corners of the houses as if to drive away pests...
And so on.
Qiu Yishan was stunned and looked at the ground and the ground in the distance.
Very clean.
Although other cities also manage sanitation, there is no one as clean as this one, especially the orderly feeling, which is obviously planned!
There are great talents here!
At least they are talents in internal affairs and city management!
Qiu Yishan, who is familiar with books, is very keenly aware of this.
He suddenly had a hunch.
I am afraid that my trip will not be as smooth as I imagined.
Forget it, anyway, it is just an observation.
They stayed in Fengming County for only a short while before leaving in a hurry.
Next, they were going to Panyu County, and then to Tianhe County.
After observing Tianhe County, especially the genius of the viscera realm, they went directly from the wasteland to the Yellow Spring Forest and returned to the Southern Wasteland.
However.
Just after leaving Fengming County for about half a day, they encountered an accident.
"My dear friends, we are just protecting a caravan. These are just tea money for you. Please make way."
Qiu Yishan smiled and handed over the silver in his hand.
Behind him, Fang Zeming looked coldly at the aggressive bandits in front of him.
And the dozens of elite barbarian guards, who were strong and wearing Greedy Hand costumes, had fierce looks in their eyes, and their thick palms were already tightly clenched.
An inexplicable sense of danger enveloped the surroundings.
Opposite, more than a hundred gangsters suddenly felt flustered, while the leaders looked at each other.
"Haha, you're just sending a beggar away with just a few taels of silver! I tell you, don't even think about getting through here without a hundred taels of silver!"
Qiu Yishan narrowed his eyes. He felt something was wrong. Was it greed? Or was someone instigating it?
But it doesn’t matter.
He just doesn't want to be exposed, he doesn't want to be a grandson.
He took a step back.
Fang Zeming's eyes shone and a smile appeared on his face, "Brother, this is right. A group of weak Yue people. What's there to be afraid of? Watch me kill them all."
After saying that, the whole person was already running back and forth like an arrow from a string.
I don't know when a big knife appeared in his hand.
At the same time, the barbarian guards behind him also took out their weapons and killed them with excited grins.
There was no trace of fear, just the desire to kill.
Qiu Yishan shook his head and stood there, knowing that the battle would be over soon.
that's the truth.
Accompanied by screams, begging for mercy, and the sound of swords and axes chopping bones and flesh, the battle ended quickly.
The road ahead was covered with blood and mutilated limbs.
Fang Zeming laughed crazily on a corpse like a monkey, while he was still chopping the corpse with the big knife in his hand.
And the barbarian guards came back unscathed.
They are all elites, each of them is strong and strong. In addition, they have practiced Qi and Blood Martial Arts and have reached the skin and flesh realm. In their hands, ordinary flesh and blood realms can definitely fight two!
Everyone is a good player.
"Okay, Zeming."
Fang Zeming turned around sharply, with murderous intent still in his eyes.
Qiu Yishan's face sank, his skin faintly flashed the color of white jade, and the inexplicable power made Fang Zeming wake up immediately.
"I'm sorry, brother."
"Okay, I'll copy the book a hundred times when I get back."
"ah?"
"Um?"
"knew!"
Fortunately, unlike the stubborn and bloodthirsty Fang Zeming, although the barbarian guards were warlike, they still had brains, leaving a few alive who seemed to have some status.
"you……"
"..."
After some interrogation, several people very weakly told everything they knew.
But Qiu Yishan frowned.
Because there was no important information in the words of these people. According to them, they just opened their new business in the vicinity of Zhanshanwang. Qiu Yishan was purely unlucky.
The reason why I asked for so much money just now was because I was going to Dulonggang to buy medicinal soup recently. In addition, Qiu Yishan and others escorted few things, and they might be escorting valuables, so the lion opened his mouth and asked for more.
No one was behind it.
Qiu Yishan waved his hand.
Fang Zeming immediately chopped off the heads of several people with a big knife without any hesitation.
"Chen's Chamber of Commerce...Chen Ziqi..."
Qiu Yishan murmured to himself.
From the mouths of these bandits, he also got a piece of information. In the south, with the backing of the Chen Chamber of Commerce, caravans, escort agencies, travelers, etc. under the Chen flag cannot be robbed!
They didn't raise any flags just now. It looked like they were outsiders, which was the main reason why they took action.
Everything is normal.
But Qiu Yishan's expression became calm.
"Let's go."
"Change direction. Instead of going to Panyu, go directly to Tianhe County."
Fang Zeming naturally had no objection. He could leave quickly, finish the mission, and go home quickly. He was happy before it was too late.
As for the other guards, everything follows orders.
Soon, Qiu Yishan and others turned around and headed towards Tianhe County.
After Qiu Yishan and others left.
The woods were quiet.
Among the grass.
A figure disappeared in a flash.
Soon, Fengchi Mountain.
Hu Shuo sealed the letter in his hand with a wax seal with an expressionless face.
"A suspected muscle and bone realm...a young man who has surpassed the peak of the flesh and blood realm but does not have the fighting power of the muscle and bone realm...dozens of very powerful and extremely fierce flesh and blood realm..."
White doves fly into the sky.
Thrillingly, leaving a white shadow.
…
Tianhe County.
Chen Yong, who was ready to meet Miss Zhong, looked helpless, "No, how many people are going to follow me?"
In the carriage, Chen Yong, aunt and uncle.
There were some matchmakers and others on the carriage behind them, and of course, there were also some "necessary" people mixed in.
"Okay, you kid, go over and have a good look. If it suits you, let the matchmaker make the decision."
Chen Nuo patted Chen Yong on the shoulder.
In fact, according to the ancient rules, the two should not meet, but now many ancient rules have ceased to exist in name only, so Chen Nuo did not mean to ask Chen Yong to comply, but asked him to quietly go and see if the rules were in compliance.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Brother Nuo."
