"Is the mountain burning over there?"
Just when Luo Heng and Mu Qingwan were looking at the scenery in the distance side by side, Ye Wan'er's exclamation mixed with confusion suddenly came to their ears.
After the two heard this, they subconsciously looked in the direction Ye Wan'er was staring.
In the distance, there seemed to be a red light.
The red light didn't look real, it could only be seen vaguely.
"Is someone burning the mountain?"
Ye Wan'er turned her head and asked Luo Heng.
She once heard her father say that when someone burns a mountain, the flames will shoot into the sky and can be seen from miles away.
Luo Heng didn't reply, just stared.
Mu Qingwan tilted her head, looking confused.
Burn the mountain?
what is that?
Is it burning down the mountain?
Why burn the mountain?
Her little mind was filled with questions.
After a while, Luo Heng gradually withdrew his gaze.
His expression became extremely solemn.
"I'm afraid something happened."
These words made Mu Qingwan and Ye Wan'er look at each other, wondering what he meant by something happened.
Can't seem to be sure.
Luo Heng stared at it again.
That direction is where Shangxi County is located next to Linxi.
Linxi County and Shangxi County are not too far apart, but there are still dozens of miles.
Someone set a fire over there, but you can actually see it here.
How big of a fire is this?
The problem is that the road between Linxi and Shangxi is smooth, and there are no mountains and forests in between that can be burned.
Luo Heng was puzzled for a while.
While he was frowning and thinking, he suddenly felt a small hand crawling up from his face and gently caressing his brow.
Luo Heng was startled and came back to his senses.
But when the girl saw his "scowl", she thought of comforting him.
The girl's movements were very gentle, and the skin on her fingertips was a little rough, and she gently rubbed his brow.
It seemed to smooth the "sad look" on his face.
"In no mood."
The girl raised her head, looked at Luo Heng and said.
Luo Heng felt soft in his heart. He grabbed the girl's hand, put it down, nodded and said.
"Okay, we don't want to...see the scenery."
Hearing Luo Heng's words, the girl smiled with satisfaction.
Luo listened to her very much.
Ye Wan'er on the side quietly took a few steps away and turned her head away.
But the corners of her mouth were slightly raised unconsciously.
Hey, the older you get, the less resistant you are to this kind of interaction between children.
But... I don't seem to be very old.
Thinking about it, Ye Wan'er couldn't help but secretly glance at the boy and girl who were leaning together.
For some reason, she suddenly felt full.
It's such a strange feeling.
…
Go south to the official road of Linxi County.
Several horses carried several tough men, walking neither fast nor slow on the fairly flat and wide official road.
"Damn it, how many times has this happened? Where are so many refugees coming from? I'm going crazy."
The leading man was dressed in a bungalow, and his face looked quite gentle, but when he spoke, he made vulgar remarks.
The other knights around him seemed to have been accustomed to this man's style of speech, and they seemed not to be surprised.
"Grandma, what do the officials of the imperial court do for a living? I and the generals are fighting to the death against the grassland people to protect these Guizhou leaders, but now someone is forcing the Guizhou leaders to leave their homes... What a fucking dog official."
The man cursed and kept spitting out sweet things.
The other knights also sighed secretly when they heard this.
They came from the north and had already encountered at least a dozen waves of refugees on the way.
The refugees carried the old and the young, dragged their families with them, and headed south, south, south!
Sometimes, they also see local officials forcibly expelling refugees who are close to their territory, forcing the refugees to continue south.
God damn dog officer.
Don't they know that those in the capital of Guizhou are unhappy?
How many people have died of hunger and exhaustion on the way?
No, they all know.
But in order to improve the political performance of the local area they govern, they chose to turn a blind eye.
These dog officials are all fucking murderers.
They all deserve to be skinned and raped!
The knights were naturally very angry.
But they are not officers, they are just...soldiers.
Insignificant border soldier!
The boss next to them who likes to spit out sweet things is actually an official.
It's a pity that according to the rules of the court, culture is more important than martial arts.
A general from thousands of households who can command more than a thousand elite cavalry can only... humble as a dog in front of the seventh-grade county magistrate!
"Second and Third Sons, tell me...will there be a day in the future when we thieves will be able to ride on the heads of the civil servants and do us a favor?"
Boss Fenfang seems to be a person with out-of-the-box thinking, and now he is even more whimsical.
Upon hearing his words, the knights all rolled their eyes.
Boss, you want to eat shit!
Those civil servants will consider us defeated even if they look at us even more, and they still want to ride on the heads of the civil servants and dominate us?
Unless... one day we can have the status of a general, maybe we can be looked down upon by the civil servants.
But, is this possible?
The knights thought for a while and shook their heads secretly.
Rather than expecting the warriors to overwhelm the civil servants, it is better to expect the sun to rise in the west.
See what the literati call us?
The thief is a thief, the thief is the army, the thief is the old man!
Is this a good thing?
"Grandma, if that day comes, I can wake up laughing from the coffin board even if I close my fucking eyes, hahaha..."
Boss Fenfang couldn't help laughing as he talked.
Although he looks gentle, his laugh is extremely heroic.
He has the spirit of a generous and tragic man from Yan and Zhao.
His name was Jiang Polu, and he was a general of the Zhenbei Army who suddenly rode thousands of households.
The God of War in the North, the General of Zhenbei, and the loyal confidant of Longyan Hou Yanqiu!
He went south to cooperate with Xuanwu, the director of embroidery, to investigate the smuggling case in the army.
Yanqiu had many confidants, and the reason why he chose to let him go south was because this guy looked rough, but was actually smart, capable, and highly skilled in martial arts.
"Boss, the sun is shining above your head, why are you daydreaming..."
Although there was a strict hierarchy in the army, Jiang Polu and the knights felt like brothers. Seeing that their boss was starting to go crazy, the knights began to joke around.
For a while, wanton laughter continued to echo.
The slightly silent and depressing atmosphere caused by the refugee incident was suddenly gone.
Also, how can a man in the army be so sad and nostalgic?
"Shh!"
Just when the knights were getting more and more aggressive, Jiang Polu suddenly turned his face into a serious expression, raised his index finger to his mouth and booed.
The knights had already had a tacit understanding with Jiang Polu and immediately stopped laughing.
In just a moment, the knights, who were still a little lazy at first, seemed to be ready to attack.
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty..."
From the far end, there seemed to be a voice gradually coming.
Jiang Polu listened for a while, his rather gentle face filled with chills.
"It's the White Lotus monster!"
The White Lotus Sect has been a thorn in the side of all dynasties.
After the founding of the Chu Kingdom, troops were sent more than once to suppress and eliminate the White Lotus evildoer.
Jiang Polu and the Zhenbei Army even led troops to annihilate the White Lotus Sect.
He and the knights are very familiar with the White Lotus Sect!
"What should I do if there is a White Lotus monster?"
Jiang Polu pulled the reins, slowed down his horse, turned around and asked the knights.
The knights all looked cold and shouted.
"kill!"
The sound is not loud, but the murderous intention is already filling the sky!
When Jiang Polu heard this, he took off the long hook from the victory hook with a clang, and his smile gradually became ferocious.
"Second and third sons, follow me... and kill!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already grabbed the horse's belly and galloped out.
Seeing this, the knights followed him one after another.
There were only a few people, but at this moment, there were thousands of horses rolling around the mountain.
The sound of horse hooves is heard, galloping like thunder.
Jin Ge is sharp and vows to take the leader of the thief.
The white lotus evildoer...suffer death!
