Tsurumi Chuyun frowned slightly. Suddenly she thought of something and looked in a certain direction, only to realize that the terrain in the distance seemed to have been plowed by something in a large area, and there was new soil dug out everywhere.
Further away, there are countless potholes, large and small, and countless rubbles are piled up in a disorderly manner to form rock mountains. Some people can still be vaguely seen searching for something on them.
Besides her, there were some people around, but not many. There were travelers with the same mysterious identity as her who wanted to enter the city.
There were also family members sitting in carriages, surrounded by guards who were about to leave the city.
Generally speaking, there are more people who want to leave the city than enter the city, but most of them seem to be people from big families. Of course, there are also people who are riding in luxurious carriages but want to enter the city.
There is nothing to say when the children of the family go out to play, but there are so many problems, which is a bit unusual. One of the carriages is followed by four or five carriages full of goods. It does not look like sending escorts, more like Relocating.
Generally speaking, a family will not easily leave the place where they took root. That is the ancestral land, which means more use.
And if a family starts to move, it will only mean that the situation in the city is not good.
Just as she was thinking about this, two soldiers suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her, shouting at her: "Stop!"
"Dismount and walk over!"
After coming back to his senses, Tsurumi Chuyun nodded quickly, got off the horse obediently, took Jueying with him, followed the man pulling the cart in front, and prepared to line up to enter the city.
But after waiting in line for a while, she felt something was wrong. When an outsider entered a city, he needed to show his household registration to the defenders to identify himself. She knew this, but it usually didn't take too long. In most cases, The lower garrison only took a cursory glance and then let them go without too much embarrassment. Even if hundreds of people wanted to enter the city at one time, there would be no congestion in the process of confirming their identities.
And in Huaiying City, the total number of people entering the city was less than twenty. They actually lined up and blocked the city gates, refusing to let them in.
She stood on her toes and glanced ahead. The soldiers coming out of the city gate were not idle and doing nothing. On the contrary, they all took the books and flipped them carefully, checking them carefully.
Seeing this scene, she felt even worse. Then, she saw a soldier returning the household registration to one of the men who was going to the city after checking. However, the man took it and was not allowed to leave. Instead, he was He was pulled to the next place, and then two more soldiers came forward, poured a bucket of water on his face, took out a dirty rag and wiped it on his face.
Seeing that the face of the man entering the city had not changed, the two soldiers looked at each other and immediately started to attack, pinching his face and pulling hard.
Two minutes later, the man's dark face was swollen and he looked pitifully at the two soldiers in front of him.
"Master Jun..."
"Okay, you're fine, let's go."
"Thank you, Master Jun!" The man walked aside happily, but did not leave directly. Instead, he looked at his wife, children and children behind him, with deep worry in his eyes.
It's a pity that those soldiers didn't care what happened to his wife and children. They went through the same process, no matter how much he begged, it was useless.
The luxurious carriage next to it, pulled by four strong horses, was protected by countless attendants. Not to mention, the soldiers beside it no longer had the sense of arrogance towards the men. Instead, they nodded and bowed to the people in the carriage.
He Jian Chuyun's heart skipped a beat, and Shen Yi also said at this moment: "Old witch, this is specifically aimed at you. If you go there, you will definitely suffer disaster!"
Tsurumi Chuyun took a deep breath, how could she not understand this?
According to the way those soldiers were doing it, even if she wasn't on the arrest list, they would still have to find something wrong with her.
So she can't go there, but is it too late to discover this now?
Taking a deep breath, Tsurumi Chuyun forced himself to calm down and glanced around. In addition to the defenders at the city gate, there were also rows of soldiers standing on both sides of the road.
Under their gaze, turning back and leaving now would definitely arouse suspicion.
Shen Yi also used her perspective to look everywhere, looking for opportunities to leave.
At this time, the person in front of her moved two steps forward. Looking back, in just a moment, there was already a couple holding a child in line behind her.
"Well……"
In desperation, she could only lead the horse and move forward two steps. But as soon as she stopped, she glanced at the horse rope in her hand, and then she suddenly had an idea and thought of something.
"Yes!"
"What's left?"
"I said I have a solution."
"any solution."
"Wait a minute." After Tsurumi Chuyun finished speaking, he turned around and looked around again. Seeing that none of the soldiers were paying attention to him, he secretly asked the horse to turn his body across, and then said softly to It said: "Are you hungry? Come on and eat something."
Patting its head, she stretched out her consciousness into the storage space, pulled out some dead branches and leaves from the firewood she collected in daily life, took them out and put them into its mouth.
Jueying only thought that what she gave her was the particularly delicious feed she gave him before, so when he saw her actions, he opened his mouth without thinking.
All of this was seen by the surrounding soldiers, but no one paid attention to it or thought it was anything. They had long been accustomed to such scenes.
However, they did not see that Tsurumi Chuyun had already picked up a hairpin in one hand. After once again making sure that no soldiers were paying attention to her, she was cruel and stabbed the hairpin directly into the horse's hind leg. The pain in his armpits instantly spread throughout his body. The next second, Jueying heard a very shrill scream, raised his front hooves and galloped towards the back.
Its mane flew, kicking up mud and dust on the ground.
He saw that Chuyun looked frightened and did not come back to her senses for a long time. When she saw Jueying running further and further away, her expression changed drastically as if she had just woken up.
"Why are you running? Come back!"
"Come back quickly!"
She pretended to be at a loss, looked at the soldiers beside her in a panic, and begged: "Help me! My horse has run away!"
Hearing her voice, the soldiers looked at her with disdain.
If it was a beauty, that would be fine. They wouldn't mind helping her catch the horse that had run away, but with such an old-fashioned look, they didn't even have the intention to tease her, let alone help catch the horse.
The soldiers just looked on, smiling indifferently or gloatingly, but no one moved.
Seeing that they didn't help, Tsurumi Chuyun was secretly happy, but on the surface he still looked anxious. In the end, he stamped his feet vigorously and chased after Jueying in the direction where he ran away.
As expected, none of the soldiers paid attention to her, and just looked at her in amusement.
Tsurumi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chuyun, and relaxed slightly. Then he looked more serious and concentrated on chasing Jueying who started running away.
However, her hairpin was stuck in the most painful part of the horse's body just now. Now Jueying has been in a state of irritability and restlessness. After stopping, she shook her head. When she saw her chasing after him, she neighed again, turned around and continued running forward.
Hejian Chuyun was not in a hurry. He looked back and saw that he was far enough away from Huaiying City. Then he started to use the Indigo Bird Qingyun Jue. Light cyan aura appeared all over his body. His movement speed suddenly accelerated, and he quickly got closer to him. The distance between the shadows.
Jueying didn't run with all her strength, she was just hurt and frightened, so she was avoiding her.
So after a while, Tsurumi Chuyun came to the back of its butt. With a tap of his toes, he rose into the air and landed on its back as lightly as a butterfly.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'm sorry. Honey, let's go, okay? I'll apply medicine to you later."
As soon as she got on the horse, she kept stroking its neck to comfort it, and Jueying's mood soon calmed down.
"So good."
Pulling the reins, she asked Jueying to speed up a bit and run towards the way she came, looking back from time to time to check if there were any pursuers behind.
After about a stick of incense, the wooden door of the earthen house was in a state of disgrace and was forced open.
Several people who were playing cards inside were stunned for a moment when they saw the visitor, and then stood up one after another.
"Little girl, you won't be back until tonight, why are you back so soon?"
"Have you bought anything yet?"
"yes."
"We're still hungry."
"..."
Facing everyone's questions, Tsurumi Chuyun just glanced at them without answering, and then sat on the haystack depressedly.
Wu Gong noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just went over to take a look, but I didn't go into the city."
"If you haven't entered the city, what are you doing?" Wu Gong had a look of confusion on his face.
He Jianchuyun sighed and roughly described what he saw. After listening, Wu Gong couldn't help but cursed.
"Damn it!"
"If I'm like this, wouldn't our trip have been in vain?"
"What to do now?"
"How do I know? I'm so hungry that I don't even have the strength to move."
"We should have gone directly to Ruyiwan if we had recognized him. Now the little girl can't get into that lousy city, and we will be hungry for another four or five days."
"..."
Tsurumi Chuyun lifted her hair and looked at where they were arguing. Faced with this situation, she didn't know what to do for a while.
In the conscious space, Shen Yi opened his mouth and swallowed a wisp of red filament. He originally wanted to eat another wisp, but after a closer look, he found that the red and yellow filament was gone, and the altar was clean.
Helpless, he could only levitate and circle around the altar, but then he thought of something and suddenly said to Tsurumi Chuyun: "When you enter the city, your face will be checked. If you don't check him, won't it be over?"
"But why don't you let... hmm? Do you have a way?"
"There is one, but it's a bit risky."
"What do you think."
"Oh, I see that all those soldiers are bullying and afraid of evil. It just so happens that Wu Gong and the others are here. You use magic to give them instructions, and then..."
Shen Yi spoke out his thoughts in one breath. After listening, Hejian Chuyun fell into deep thought on the spot, playing with a straw in his hand and not knowing what he was thinking.
While the people in front of them were still arguing, it didn't take long for them to decide to continue on the road hungry, preparing to force their way to Ruyi Bay.
But when Wu Gong and his men were about to open the door and leave, He Jian Chuyun, who had already figured out something, suddenly stood up and called them.
"Wait! Don't leave yet."
Wu Gong, who had arrived at the door, stopped and everyone turned to look at her.
"What's going on?"
"Yes. Since we can't enter the city, what are we still doing here?"
He Jian Chuyun shook his head, looked away from Wu Gong's face, looked at Wang Zhongzhu and others, and asked patiently: "Do you want to enter the city?"
"Why don't you want to? But we can't get in!"
"That's right, we'll be caught as soon as we get there."
"Little girl, could it be that you have thought of a way?"
"I do have an idea, but it's a bit risky."
"It's a bit risky..." Wu Gong pondered, and finally looked at her and said: "First tell me the method you think of, and we will decide whether it is feasible."
He Jian Chuyun nodded, and then told him how to enter the city. After listening, the six of them looked at each other.
"..."
"..."
"Little girl, are you sure those soldiers can be scared by us?"
"I don't know, it's up to you."
"Then have you thought about who you want to pretend to be?"
"Think about it, Feng family." Hejian Chuyun said in a deep voice, and everyone's expressions changed obviously when they heard the word "Feng family" in her mouth.
"Feng...Feng family? Are you...are you sure you want to disguise them?"
"Don't worry, the secret won't be revealed."
"Is this... really possible?"
The Feng family is the head of the five clans in Changzhou, and ranks among the ten major families in Daliang. It is a large family with several Xuan-level sages sitting in charge. Its power is mainly distributed in Changzhou and Jizhou. In the boundaries of these two states, Below the royal family is the Feng family, which holds unimaginable power.
Wu Gong was not willing to mess with such a family even when Black Snake Town was not in pieces.
If he was caught pretending to be a member of the Feng family, he would die miserably.
However, Tsurumi Chuyun had some knowledge in her mind. The Tsurumi clan had had contact with the patriarch of a branch of the Feng family in the past. She also had some understanding of him. She knew that there were Feng family properties in Huaiying City, and pretending to be them was the most dangerous thing. suitable.
Wu Gong was from a humble background and didn't know much about the internal situation of a big family, but she knew very well that the larger a family developed, the more complicated it became internally. Except for some with outstanding talents, how many others were left? Young Master, outsiders have no idea how many young ladies there are, and even some marginalized family members are living almost as well as ordinary people.
If she claimed to be a wealthy young lady of the Feng family, no one would have the ability to investigate. What she had to do was to show outsiders her status in the Feng family. How to show it? In fact, this is also simple, the guards around you can show it, and this guard, isn't the Wu Gong in front of you ready-made?
But whether it would work or not, He Jian Chuyun didn't dare to guarantee it. She just looked at Wu Gong and said, "You can just decide for yourself."
When Wu Gong thought about it, he should have chosen without hesitation where to go to Ruyiwan for another five days. After all, if he ventured into Huaiying City, if something happened, he would be doomed. But when he turned around, he saw his brothers one by one. Looking at himself expectantly, and thinking that their condition was getting worse day by day, he began to sway again.
"How sure are you?" Finally, he asked Tsurumi Chuyun again, and she answered: "I am 80% sure."
Hearing what she said, Wu Gong nodded: "Okay, that's up to you." After that, he looked at Wang Zhongzhu and others and said to them: "Haven't you seen what the big city is like? I will take you with me today. Go in and take a look.”
