Chapter 77: Decent Gathering
If you don't understand, just ask, this is Xu Yan's good habit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So under Xu Yan's inquiry, the owner of the steamed bun shop told the reason why he put Xishan.
Without him, it's just a snake demon in the east.
The snake demon eats horses, but also eats people, a month ago, there was a group of horse herders who did not return, and then there was a succession of horses and horse herders disappeared, the officers and soldiers of Mawang Town also organized several manpower, and found that it was the snake demon after the chaos, the officers and soldiers did not dare to go, there was no innate warrior to shoot, and ordinary soldiers or warriors had no way to take the monster.
In less than a month, there were dozens of horses and children in Mawang Town who were swallowed by the snake demon, which made every household uneasy to sleep and eat, and those who lost their children were even more miserable.
The news learned from the owner of the bun shop may not be comprehensive, but it is enough, at least Xu Yan can roughly analyze the real situation today.
The snake demon made a rebellion, the people of Mawang were bored, and the book of all people was passed to the imperial city, and then the army of Qi came to help, got rid of the snake demon, and finally everyone was happy, after all, the snake demon could not stand the army to conquest.
The situation that should be like this may be what ordinary people think, but the excuse in this is not something that the people can see clearly.
In Xu Yan's opinion, a snake demon that devoured dozens of people could not alarm the real emperor of Qi State, if he had to work hard for the life and death of dozens of people, the emperor was too worthless.
The Book of All People should have been sent to Fengshan City, or when it was passed to the Imperial City, it was stopped by Fengshan City.
Fengdu, as an important town of Qi State, has tens of thousands of garrisons, and if a prince can't even deal with a snake demon under the rule of one party, then General Yan of Fengshan City will really be idle.
Mawang Town was originally under the jurisdiction of Fengshan City.
Thinking of the Grand Taibao of the Ghost King Gate to invite General Yan, Xu Yan only saw the real purpose of the meeting at this time, it should be that the Ghost King Gate learned about the snake demon, and in order to reduce General Yan's burden, he volunteered to exterminate the demons.
No wonder I heard the Great Taibao and General Yan talk about Mawangzhen and the snake demon before, it turned out that the last time the Great Taibao invited General Yan to the banquet, it was to take over the task of eliminating the demon, if the Ghost King Gate did not interfere, presumably the garrison of Fengdu would also be sent by General Yan to exterminate the snake demon.
After eating a full stomach, it is natural to have a good appetite, Xu Yan and Wang Bazhi left the bun shop, came to a teahouse, asked for a location on the street, ordered two pots of tea, and rested while watching the crowd coming and going, listening to the discussions of the tea guests.
The places where the people of the rivers and lakes inquire about the news are mainly teahouses and restaurants, and Xu Yan's choice is right, but as soon as he sees those martial artists with extraordinary demeanor and a righteous and awe-inspiring face, Xu Yan is sick to his stomach.
The so-called decency, Xu Yan used to think that he was one of those heroes who did the right thing for heaven and wanted to help each other when the road was uneven, but since he saw the actions of Taiqingjiao, there is no difference between good and evil in Xu Yan's heart.
Master is right, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, a good word is the head, the world can't escape, can good and evil escape? Not to mention whether it is righteous or not, just talking about the snake demon, Xu Yan can almost conclude that there must be some treasure on the snake demon, otherwise there would be no need for so many people to rob it.
It's just some warriors who chase their own or sect's interests, and the names of good and evil are all used for fart.
Xu Yan doesn't have a good impression of decency, and he doesn't have a good impression of evil either, he just wants to be an outsider, just see the excitement, and then buy two fast horses, in the end, this time he came to Mawang Town, his purpose was just to buy horses.
There are a lot of people in the teahouse, and there are even more warriors, gathered in groups of three or five, constantly whispering, and occasionally you can hear the appearance of Qingyun Pavilion and Jade Sword Gate.
"Brother Wang, are Qingyun Pavilion and Jade Sword Sect decent or evil?" asked Xu Yan as he drank tea.
It didn't matter if he asked, Wang Bazhi, who was always trembling on the other side, almost squirted out the tea, and lowered his voice in a panic and said: "It's all decent, Brother Yan, let's go, I'm afraid this teahouse will be decent." ”
It is true that the evil faction in Qi Country is powerful, but now in this teahouse, there are many decent people, and Wang Bazhi is a small minion of the evil sect mixed in the pile of decent people, no wonder he is afraid.
"You don't have any words on your face, what you are afraid of. Xu Yan whispered a word and ignored Wang Bazhi, looking at the group of warriors who were coming down from the upper floor with interest.
Wang Bazhi is such a little minion, Xu Yan is not worried about being recognized by decency, and it is said that people who have been to Meixianglou can recognize this head of the courtyard, and with Wang Bazhi's reputation, there is basically no chance of being recognized in decency.
The group of people who came down from the upper floor were obviously warriors, all of them carried long swords behind their backs, and they were dressed luxuriously, which was by no means comparable to ordinary Jianghu warriors.
Walking in the front, is a young man with a light veil, small figure, light steps, no sword, let alone unable to see the face, beside the young man, accompanied by a middle-aged man, from a distance can hear someone arch the hand to the middle-aged man called Yu Pavilion Master, look at the respectful demeanor of the Pavilion Master, you can know that the identity of the young man is not trivial.
Originally, he still wanted to see the lively Xu Yan, when he saw the young man's figure, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it with his head up.
There was no water in the teacup, and Xu Yan was not thirsty, but by raising his head to block the trouble.
Although the young man couldn't see his face with a veil, judging from his body shape and walking posture, he should be a girl, and it was also a girl Xu Yan had seen.
With Xu Yan's eyesight, he had already recognized that the other party was the girl who scolded him in Meixianglou, the girl with the fragrance of a thousand flowers.
can appear in this kind of place, and be regarded as a guest by a group of decent warriors, it can be seen that the girl's identity is not low, Xu Yan doesn't want to make trouble in other people's territory, the two of them at that time were all angry, and they are not allowed to rely on the strength of the people to beat him up.
The shrewd Xu Yan avoided the other party's gaze by raising his head to drink tea, and by the time he put down the teacup and let out a sigh, the group had already walked away.
What is she doing in Mawang Town?
The girl who was going to send herself to be a eunuch might be a decent person, Xu Yan was a little curious and helpless.
I'm about to fall into the ambush of the evil sect, and I'm still in the mood to drink tea, it seems that there are people with big hearts everywhere.
After listening to all kinds of anecdotes in the teahouse for a long time, under the urging of Wang Bazhi, Xu Yan left the teahouse and did not stop by Wang Bazhi, so the two separated.
Wang Bazhi rushed to the bamboo forest in the eastern suburbs to meet the people of Aokitang, while Xu Yan leisurely selected horses.
Look at the excitement and don't hurry, buying a horse is the right thing.
