After all, the capital is an important place under the emperor's feet. Recently, the situation has been tight. The soldiers guarding the gates of the capital are still a bit stricter than before during the patrol season. They looked at the young man up and down for a long time, and then briefly explored the package. There was no other person among them. Then he looked at the sword on the young man's waist, with a slightly different look on his face. He interrogated the young man for a long time about his origins. The sword on his waist was clearly of the highest quality, so why did it fall on a young man under the age of sixteen or seventeen? On people. Yun Zhong was not impatient. He said slowly that he was a member of the Boyu Gang. He often went out as escorts to escort goods. He had a protective weapon. No matter how you put it, it was natural. However, he looked unfamiliar. The soldier wanted to ask more questions, but he was grabbed by the older soldier on the side. He almost shook his head and signaled not to ask any more questions, and then reluctantly let him go.
The Boyu Gang is so powerful that no one in the capital knows about it. Many people have wondered privately about the identity behind the Boyu Gang, but in the end they are all slightly frightened and no longer want to mention it to others. However, most of them knew it well, not to mention the well-informed army. They knew that the young man was a veteran who was promoted to the helmsman of the Boyu Gang more than half a year ago. Naturally, he knew the importance of it. This made the unknown man The soldiers of deep and shallow silenced their voices and let him go honestly.
"Your kid was eating meat yesterday and his head was screwed up, didn't he? That man is obviously a Jianghu member of the Boyu Gang. Not to mention that he is not a partial leader, but an ordinary gang member, so he should be allowed to go. Your Majesty The gangs at the base of the city can survive to this day. Maybe they have the backing behind them. They may be the first- and second-grade officials in our court. How can they be easily provoked? Moreover, they happen to be living under the eyes of the emperor. Even the rough and rude members of the Boyu Gang People must know how to act better than we do, you, you, are not wise."
But the young soldier was a little unconvinced. He grunted and looked at the back of the young man in white riding a horse leisurely out of the city. He said angrily, "The Imperial City is such an important place. If the people of the Boyu Gang , everyone can carry a sword and carry a sword, so wouldn’t these rules and regulations become a joke, every time they encounter the Boyu Gang, the members of the Boyu Gang will retreat, and no one dares to step forward to take action."
"Rules are rules, which are different from laws. Rules are dead rules, but people are living beings." The old soldier curled his lips, obviously already accustomed to the new soldiers who had just entered the capital to guard the city. "If you don't listen to the advice, you will be defeated." That's okay, but it's all up to you to think about how much you will suffer later, but it won't endanger your life. Meeting those people who are quite narrow-minded will only give you some stumbling blocks. It's never too late to change your mind. "
Yun Zhong, however, didn't know what the two people were talking about behind him. He just let go of the reins and let the beast who was sitting in the stable go where he wanted. Of course, he was also afraid that the beast would lack strength on his feet and hurt his ankle while running around, causing a lot of trouble. The mixed-haired horse was in a good mood, and headed east along the official road. Along the road, there were already weeds and flowers that stretched their heads impatiently, which happened to give the horse a free advantage. The horse, which had been depressed for a long time, rolled its tongue and said, He almost ate all the new weeds growing on the roadside, and he didn't stop talking for a full hour.
At three o'clock in the morning, a civet cat emerged from the young man's chest and clothes. He looked around with confused eyes, and found that his whole body was shaking. It was obvious that he didn't know where he was. His four claws could not help but reach out and hang tightly on the young man's body. There was a slightly fearful expression on his short coat.
Yun Zhong looked amused, rubbed the civet cat's head and patted the civet cat's back, "Don't be afraid, it's just walking from one place to another. You don't have to worry about your life, and you don't have to worry about food and drink."
The man and the civet cat on the horse staggered and jolted away.
The young man indeed has a place he wants to go to. He heard that hundreds of miles away from the imperial city, there is a huge lake in Lindong. Following the end of the lake, it actually crosses the borders of three places in succession and can reach the East China Sea. I heard people say that it is not only accessible. As for the East China Sea, we can go straight to the South China Sea in front of Dai Viet Kingdom in the southeast. Unfortunately, there are many high and low canyons along the way, and there is never a boat to cross it. Since entering the capital, the young man has always thought about the time when he could go out for sightseeing and see with his own eyes the vast lake that connects the two seas and reaches three rivers. I heard from people that there are many dangerous peaks on the shore of the lake and there are many fishermen. It is said that there is a peach blossom forest that stretches for a hundred miles. When the flowers are in bloom, you can still smell them from ten miles away. The fragrance is rich and the wine is the best. It has always been It is also known as Xiaonanli, which means that it is like spring all the time, rarely lonely, with flowers, plants, trees, strange peaks and steep peaks, just like a fairy home.
Yunzhong has seen many tall and strange mountains, some of which are picturesque and green, or maybe they are desolate and yellow. He has also seen the wonderful scene of water waves flowing out of Daquan Lake, which seems to be a heroic woman in the rivers and lakes with horses galloping and curled temples. , but only the quiet and quiet realm like Xiaojiabiyu is rarely seen. Although the former is the kind of thing that makes one's heart tremble when one sees it, but the latter is the one that suits the young man's heart the most. When he sees it, his eyes smile and his eyebrows are relaxed, and he forgets his worries the most.
Nowadays, it is rare for him to make up his mind and go and have a look. Even if he lacks interest for many days in a row, the young man still feels a little lighter with a heavy burden on his heart.
A journey of several hundred miles is not that close. Even though this rammer has very good legs and the young man is not willing to run wildly every day, it loses a lot of interest. It is estimated that it will take at least ten and a half months, just to see some things along the way. The surrounding scenery is also quite comfortable. In normal times, whenever he went out, Yun Zhong would search for mountain and waterway maps from various places, study them for several days, and visit many people before he could make sure they were all right. But this time it was different. I just picked up my luggage and set off on the road. I only had a rough road map. The young man hung it on the saddle. He looked at it from time to time to make sure that he was not going in the wrong direction, and then he let it go. Move your goods as you please.
A few days ago, the young man wrote a long letter. He originally planned to use Blue Sky Travel to deliver the letter to the mountain, but he found that he had no energy at all, so he had to summon Jiuliu and the green bird in the capital to deliver the letter to the mountain. This made my mood even more chaotic. After waiting for a few days, I received another letter. It was not written by Wen Yu, but the reply from the old woodcutter who was already free in the mountains. Just looking at the handwriting showed that he was quite impatient. It is said that other girls also need to practice. Moreover, it is a time when the mood is difficult to calm down and there are many hidden dangers. If you want to go out for a while, you can't tie Miss Wen to your body all day long. You can go whenever you want, and don't delay your practice.
In addition, the letter, which can be said to be quite messy, also stated that Yan Jiaqing took a full month's sick leave at the mountain school. He said that his health was worrying and he wanted to go to seek medical advice elsewhere. As for the school, he was temporarily entrusted to the school. A young man in the village didn't necessarily have much knowledge, but he had an excellent reputation. He was able to seduce the students who became more playful in the spring. However, he begged and begged for two hundred With two pieces of silver, he went down the mountain, counting the time and almost reached the capital.
However, Yun Zhong did not wait for Yan Jiaqing, but went out on his own. Originally, the young man planned to go alone. Of course, if Wen Yu was free, the young man still had some selfish intentions. If he had the girl he liked with him, he would be in a better mood when he went out for sightseeing, but not necessarily I just need to meditate hard on my own, but I have been able to overcome all the distracting thoughts since this time.
Three days after leaving the capital, the wine was gone. Yun Zhong looked at the water bag in his hand that was three to five times larger than the water bag on the market, curled his lips, and his mood was waning.
The civet cat that was always lying on the boy's shoulder or front was also in a low mood. When he left the Lake Chao Pavilion, the boy originally brought a whole bag of dried fish with him, but it was the time of night when he was not paying attention, and he was caught by the civet cat. He got into his pocket and ate until he was full. Perhaps the four claws had not been sharpened for a long time and were extremely sharp. He scratched a corner of the bag and found nearly a hundred dried fish in it. Almost all of them were missing. By the time the boy noticed, there were only a few fish left. After swallowing, the civet cat was also listless after a long time without meat. It would often stand up on the horse and scratch the mixed-haired horse twice, which would cause the cat to howl and cry, causing chaos.
As a last resort, the young man changed the route slightly and headed north, going to a village to temporarily replenish some wine and food. Besides, there were many rivers and streams nearby, so he could probably buy some dried and fresh fish. It fills the civet cat's shriveled belly properly.
Throughout the year, every time the monthly salary was distributed to the gang, the young man never looked at the amount of money in the brocade money bag. Knowing that the Boyu Gang was rich and wealthy, Yun Zhong was more cautious, for fear of seeing the money himself. With the abundant money in his bag, he couldn't hold back his temper immediately and went out to be a money-spreading boy. Therefore, he never estimated how much money he had saved until he opened the money-collecting wooden box before going out and Yun Zhong shook out the money. After picking up the money bag, I realized that I seemed to be a relatively wealthy family in the city. In just over half a year, the helmsman saved his monthly salary and actually had hundreds of taels of silver. Although he could not imitate those young masters, Throwing out a thousand taels in one night to win the favor of a brothel girl is already a considerable sum of money.
Even though he knew that everyone in the Boyu Gang was wealthy, Yun Zhong still felt his eyes hurt from the silver thorns in front of him. He managed to suppress the trembling in his heart. After calculating for a while, he realized that the husband of Aunt An in the town who died while repairing the Buddhist temple was... It was just a compensation of a hundred taels of silver. After checking the accounts several times and visiting two shops, in the end, he had saved enough money to save several lives. Jiji immediately looked at the box of silver, his expression was much gloomier, but from the I took out nearly a hundred taels and stopped thinking about it.
But even nearly a hundred taels of silver would be enough to feed and clothe people in an ordinary village for many years.
Putting away his various thoughts, the young man sighed softly, turned over and dismounted, and then led the mixed-haired horse, which was now much more at ease, with the listless and sleepy civet cat on his shoulder, and walked towards the village deep in the forest. .
It was getting late, the horses were not skinny, they had fat hooves and big bellies, the civet cats were fat and wide-skinned, but the young man's white clothes were very wide and seemed to be a bit ill-fitting.
