Chapter 523: Seeking the Future
After half a month, the riots in Huzhou finally faded away. It is said that the family and the government still failed to find the two key criminals after all, and when the time dragged on for more and more, and the war was approaching, this matter could only be closed and became another unsolved case.
Everyone knows that the more time passes, the slimmer the hope of finding the two culprits, which is nothing more than a waste of manpower and material resources.
On the rivers and lakes of Huzhou, this matter is not only a sensation, but also more and more mysterious, adding a lot of legends, and even being interpreted into a strange story, which has been introduced into teahouse hotels and ordinary people's homes, and is talked about by people.
On the bright side, the struggle between the parties in the secret is difficult for ordinary people to know.
As for the portraits of Liu Heng and He Bo, they were hung on major cities and arteries, and they were designated as first-class criminals in Great Xia. The crime is the same as injustice and great disrespect, two of the heinous crimes are committed, and they are naturally first-class offenders, and those who report will be rewarded with 10,000 taels, and those who are arrested will be rewarded with 100 acres of fertile land, and will be given to the general Fengyi, hereditary for three generations.
"I wasn't demoted to a civilian back then, and I was just a Feng'en general, I didn't expect that now I have committed something but my net worth has soared, and if I catch us, I will reward General Fengyi. Next to the gate of a city, in the crowd on the third floor and the outer three layers of the emperor's list, Liu Heng mocked and said to He Bo beside him: "I want to tie myself up and send it to the government." ”
From the emperor and the prince of Great Xia, the honors and nobles are divided into twenty-seven ranks, and the princes, uncles, princes, sons and men are each of the third ranks, and the eighteenth rank is occupied here, and the next nine ranks are the generals.
General Feng'en is the last third-class nobleman in the general's position, and there are also General Fengxiao and Fengzhong under him, and above it is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, and bravery.
General Feng'en is a seventh-class general, with 300 households in the eup, which belongs to the last three classes, while General Fengyi is a fifth-class general, with 500 households in the eup, but he is already in the third-class general.
Don't look at the same general position, the difference between the two is two moats, and there is a big gap. In this Great Xia court, if you can't get great merits, it will be extremely difficult to get promoted to a rank in this life.
At that time, Liu Heng was born because of his ancestors, and he was named General Feng'en. But according to the Great Xia etiquette system, he is the only successor to the second-class marquis of Gu Beihou, and the honorary position of General Feng'en is not only not high, but low.
It can be seen that in order to arrest him and He Bo, the two major criminals, Great Xia directly rewarded the fifth-class Fengyi general, which really paid a great price.
"It's a Fengyi general. The tall and sturdy figure dressed by the farmer next to him was Uncle He, and he pouted when he heard this, "Is this a call for Huazi, or is it doing superficial work? Now if you want to arrest us and others, or you have to do strange things, or you need to be ruthlessly investigated by the head snake in Huzhou, where is the weight of a mere Fengyi general?"
They are still in Huzhou now, and Liu Heng even recovered the frog horse, but the thousand-mile black horse worth thousands of gold can only be placed in the Qudi City Inn, and it is difficult to find it back.
Fortunately, for Liu Heng today, worldly gold and silver are nothing, and the dispersion of the daughter is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and he doesn't care at all.
Turning around, he, He Bo, and Liu Heng dressed up in disguise, hid their respective atmospheres, bought a carriage, pretended to be a farmer, a groom and a little scholar, and openly blended into the big city of Huzhou.
They stood under the city gate, mingling in the crowd and quietly looking at their portraits, looking particularly chic and comfortable.
After talking about two sentences, the two found that Liu Heng still looked hollow and godless, and they looked at each other helplessly.
"Forget it, it's nothing to see, let's find a place to stay. Liu Heng shook his head and led the carriage into the city.
He Bo had previously found the three sects and nine streams in the rivers and lakes, and spent some money in exchange for a new customs clearance document, helping the three of them to change their new identities. Now Liu Heng's surname is Jin, He Bo's surname is He Mingsheng, and Liu Heng's surname is Jin Mingheng, the three of them are relatives, and they drove over from a place called Doujiatun in Jizhen County in Qianzhou, and wanted to make a living by reselling the specialties of the two places.
Liu Heng of this Zhuzhen County has heard of it, and it seems that it is not far from Liu'an County, but he doesn't know where Dou Jiatun is. Even he, a place that is not well known to locals, and no one can figure it out if he wants to come to Huzhou, so it is difficult for this origin to arouse the suspicion of others.
What especially impressed Liu Heng was that this customs clearance document seal and document were complete, and it was a genuine product that was not adulterated at all, and he had to admire these three-minded and nine-rate skills.
"It can only be said that snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and each has its own doorway. Speaking of this, Uncle He said with a smile: "I have also been in contact with more people over the years after I betrayed the sect, and I gradually understood, and after the young master walked around this world for a few years in the future, he would know what was going on." ”
In detail, Liu Heng is really not a real Jianghu person.
He has practiced martial arts in the past three years, although his experience is far from comparable, but most of the time he is often in the sect to do penance, and most of the people he comes into contact with are people in the sect, which is still very different from the real Jianghu people after all.
These people and rivers and lakes have their own rules and their own ways of survival, which makes Liu Heng feel very novel.
After casually finding an inn and settling down the carriage and horses, and returning to the guest room, Liu Heng closed the door and asked Uncle He, "How is it?"
He Bo shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "I haven't noticed any abnormalities." ”
"Still ignore it?" Liu Heng muttered to himself, and then smiled: "This is also a good thing." ”
They quietly left Mendieling, so that the clues of the imperial court and the major families tracking them down here were completely cut off, so in the past half a month, they have lived an unprecedented relaxed life, and it is no different from wandering all the way.
Along the way, they were also paying attention to whether there was any movement in the Liu family. After all, if such a big thing happened, they should be caught off guard when they want to come to the Liu family, and they should have a reaction. Who knew that along the way, He Bo did not find any secret secrets, but he was surprisingly calm.
According to what He Bo said, the Liu family has an extraordinary heritage, and there are arrangements in various cities, and any news is usually transmitted through specific markers. If he couldn't find the mark, even Uncle He didn't know where the Liu family's men and horses were hiding, so now the two sides were completely cut off.
"It seems that his Liu family doesn't want to care about us at all. Liu Heng pondered, "In this case, we don't have to pay attention to them anymore, just act according to the plan." ”
"If the young master wins the title, will he really return it to the Liu family?" He Bo asked with a little hesitation and unwillingness.
He didn't doubt whether Liu Heng could get the title, thinking that with Liu Heng's current strength, as long as the war was fought together, it all depended on what Liu Heng wanted. But when it came to Liu Heng's plan, he was not very happy, he just felt that the Liu family was so cheap.
"A title, what is it?" Liu Heng smiled, and didn't care, "I was thinking that they left me such a title back then, after all, it was lost in my hands three years ago, and when I pay them back, even if I don't owe each other at all, I don't want to owe them anything in the future." ”
In fact, with Liu Heng's current vision and knowledge, where would he put a Marquis of Great Xia in his eyes. Really calculated, Gu Beihou's second-class title is nothing more than a better sound, in fact, there are 8,000 households in the food estate, even with his current identity as the true lineage of the Butterfly Flower Sect, the wealth he enjoys is only a lot more than this.
Not to mention that after all his experiences, his net worth is comparable to that of the overlord, and this is not worth mentioning.
So it's really just as he said, taking the title and returning it to the Liu family is also a trivial matter, he just wants to have a clean heart.
"Of course, it's all a plan now, and it's hard to say what the future will be. Liu Heng groaned slightly, and his eyes fell on Liu Heng, who was in a daze intentionally or unintentionally, "Anyway, it's always right to get the title first, if the Liu family doesn't look down on this title at that time, they simply leave it to Liu Heng, just as compensation for him, so that he can have a guarantee for his life in the future." ”
Uncle He was relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The young master is really far-sighted. ”
Liu Heng also laughed, but some other words only turned in his heart, and he didn't say anything to He Boduo.
For example, when he was about to live to the end of his life, he could only live for another four years, and he didn't reveal it to He Bo at all. Uncle He probably couldn't have imagined that his current arrangements were actually related to this matter.
After all, his life is short, and he has naturally been thinking about the aftermath for a long time.
On the side of Zongmen and Ding Le'er, everything that should be explained is almost explained, and the only thing he is worried about is the future of He Bo and Liu Heng.
Two years ago, in the Holy Land Bailing Valley, on the weird sacred mountain where the Southwest Rookie Contest was held, Liu Heng knew some secrets that ordinary people couldn't know, which made him inevitably have a very bad premonition about the future.
There has been no new saint in the world for nearly a thousand years.
In the past thousand years, the world has been torn apart, countries have become dominant, chaos has occurred frequently, and the world has fallen into a rare silence, and even the arrogant and the strong have become scarce. In recent years, talented geniuses and demons, and even Tianjiao have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and people are saying that another prosperous era has arrived, and they are excited about it.
If Liu Heng didn't guess wrong, this was exactly the Heavenly Dao that secretly coincided with the Heavenly Dao of Ji Tailai. For various reasons, the world has been suppressed for nearly a thousand years, and now it has ushered in an unprecedented explosion, and the more severely it is suppressed, the more amazing it will become.
In this situation, the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, and no matter what the reason, I am afraid that the birth of the next saint can no longer be suppressed.
In other words, the next saint is likely to be born in this prosperous age, in the near future!
Throughout tens of thousands of years of history, any such prosperous era, especially when it involves the dispute between saints, is by no means a good thing, and the world will become extremely chaotic. This is the highest level of struggle in the world, and the struggle for the throne and the seizure of power in the Holy Land are far less terrifying and tragic than the struggle of the saints.
It's the same thing before dawn, when it's the darkest time.
Liu Heng couldn't even imagine what the world would become when the time came, anyway, he could only be sure of one thing now, for the world, it would also be the most difficult period of life.
In particular, this saint who is about to be born seems to be even more strange than any of the saints before him. For him, all the saints in front did not hesitate to leave foreshadowing, either wanting to prevent his birth, or even wanting to completely erase him, and did not want to see him become a saint, which can be seen!
What he saw and heard on that strange mountain two years ago made Liu Heng deeply understand how extraordinary this matter was. I think that the arrangements left by the saints in history are not just as simple as those on the sacred mountain. It is estimated that in the future, more and more will emerge from their arrangement.
These things made Liu Heng more worried about the future, and he was terrified.
He may not live to see that time, but his relatives and friends are inevitably doomed, so he has to plan ahead and make all kinds of arrangements for his relatives and friends.
When the title is in hand, it is up to the Liu family to choose whether to do it or not. If the Liu family wants to go to this title, when the chaos comes in the future, Liu Heng will let Uncle He and them go to Baiwu to join the sect and Ding Le'er. If the Liu family disdains this title, then Liu Heng will take over the title, run the fief, and then let Ding Leer and other friends gather here to form a force to deal with the upcoming chaos.
In Liu Heng's plan, it is best to find a wild cook, or even a master, so that even if the chaos comes earlier than he imagined, he can barely have the power to protect himself. As long as they survive the first few years, Ding Le'er and Xiaoworm, who have infinite potential, will become stronger and stronger, and if they are the mainstays at that time, they should be able to shelter the thoughtfulness of others, so that relatives and friends can survive the catastrophe safely.
Of course, this catastrophe that is destined to sweep the world will naturally come as late as possible.
The later they come, the more time Ding Le'er and Little Worm will have to become stronger, the more prepared they will be, and the hope of surviving the catastrophe will greatly increase. At least in Liu Heng's own opinion, this is already the best plan he can think of at the moment.
Among them, Liu Heng is most concerned about Uncle He, and now he has to add a Liu Heng.
With the strength of He Bo's martial arts master, it seems to be not bad for the time being, but he is already past the age of confusion, his potential will be exhausted, and there is not much room for improvement. In this unimaginable terrifying catastrophe, it is estimated that the fall of the overlord will become a common thing, what is a double martial artist like He Bo?
Relying on He Bo and Liu Heng alone, Liu Heng couldn't feel at ease no matter how he thought about it, and he couldn't even see any hope of surviving the catastrophe. So many of his plans are actually focusing on the two of them, trying to find ways to protect their safety.
This title is said to be returned to the Liu family, but it is more like an excuse, it can be said that at the beginning, this was the gift he prepared for Liu Heng.
After getting the title and the corresponding fief, they will have a place to settle down, no matter what variables happen to Ding Leer or others in the future, presumably Liu Heng and He Bo will be able to get some reliance on this, at least they will not be too passive.
So no matter what you say, this title must be obtained.
Of course, these things still seem to be illusory now, Liu Heng just silently typed the draft in his heart, and naturally he was not ready to tell them in advance, "There are less than four years to go, and it is better to hurry up." ”
"Anyway, it's already close to the border, and at our speed, we should arrive at the border Moon City in ten days and half a month at most. Seeing the speed of preparation for the expedition in Great Xia, it is estimated that we will have to wait for a long time before the war starts, but there is no need to rush to the road. Although he knew in his heart that time was pressing, the words became different, and he couldn't hear the slightest urgency, "Let's rest today, walk around, inquire about the news ahead, and it's not too late to continue on the road tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
