I got off the motorcade at Xiangkou, found a restaurant to have a casual meal, and then prepared to go shopping, and then rested for two days before returning to the corridor.
I don’t know why, but Zhang Yan always feels a little uneasy about being close to home. I don’t know if it’s because he has never experienced anything related to “relatives” in his two lives.
In his last life, well, he was already dead on earth, so he should be called his last life, right?
Zhang Yan was an orphan in his previous life, adopted by his master from an orphanage. Later, he once regarded his master as his father. The death of his master also made him a loner again.
Now that he is reincarnated as a human being, no matter what happened, this body has become one with Zhang Yan's soul, and he should inherit everything about this body, good or bad.
Although the soul of the original owner has dissipated, some memories preserved in the body make it difficult for Zhang Yan to calm down every time he thinks of the word "home".
In the end, Zhang Yan, who had no experience in this area and had no one to learn from, could only bite the bullet and take it one step at a time. During the two days in Xiangkou, he bought some specialties here and packed them up to take home as gifts.
The night before leaving, Zhang Yan had a sleepless night, feeling inexplicably agitated and unable to calm down. I reluctantly finished my homework for the day, and then I sat by the window, watching the light rain that had started falling outside at some point, and I was filled with thoughts.
In fact, Zhang Yan has been in contact with the Langyuan family in the past two years, and he also has a good grasp of the situation at home. According to the latest letter from home, life at home is much better than before, and he is also taken care of by Mr. Zhou Cangzhou, the military officer of Langyuan City. The fertile land exchanged for Zhang Yan's military exploits has already been cultivated by people. Last year's harvest was not bad, and everyone in the family has gained weight.
Zhang Yan could feel between the lines the emotion that was different from the "forced smile" in the first letter, but the true joy from the heart. The letter even started a joke with him, saying that my mother asked him to tell him that she would give him a wife when he got home.
Following the car all the way, the only thing on the road that could make Zhang Yan feel a little less anxious were the nine bean soldiers left in his hand. Only by being silent in the magic can Zhang Yan feel calmer temporarily.
Starting from Xiangkou, we will arrive at Langyuan in five days. Zhang Yan had a detailed understanding of his new hometown before.
Because of the special geographical location of the entire Beijiang County, to the north is the "Tonghu Pass", an important pass with Beiwu Kingdom, which is an extremely important communication pass between Nanyuan Kingdom and Beiwu Kingdom. The goods of Beiwu Kingdom, including "tea bricks", will enter Nanyuan Kingdom from here, and the same amount of goods from Nanyuan Kingdom will leave here and flow into Beiwu Kingdom.
In addition to Tonghu Pass, Beijiang County is also adjacent to Yueshui in the east. It can be said that it is directly exposed to the pressure from the military front of Huayue Shangguo on the east bank of Yueshui.
Therefore, Beijiang has formed a special geographical pattern with a rare dual proportion of "military" and "business".
Under this pattern, except for Xiangkou, where the governor's office is located, large cities such as Langyuan are not general capital cities, but rather have the meaning of "military strongholds".
In my impression, Langyuan's city is not prosperous, and its main body is not even large, but it has very high and thick city walls. There is also a full battalion of garrison stationed in the city all year round.
It can be said that Langyuan is more like a town with high walls and heavy troops than the major cities in the counties that Zhang Yan has visited along the way.
Even compared to Yubei Mountain Fortress, Langyuan's city wall is taller. It seems that for the Nanyuan Kingdom, the threat from the demon clan to the west is not as great as the threat from the Huayue Shang Kingdom across the river to the east. Of course, it may also be because the terrain of Yubei Mountain Fortress is already dangerous and the walls are not necessarily too high.
From a distance, I saw a county monument with the words "Beijiang County" outlined in red paint, which meant that Zhang Yan finally slowly returned to his hometown from Yubei Mountain.
When Zhang Yan saw the city gate, countless memory fragments came to his mind.
"Ximen." Zhang Yan murmured. It was the same door he walked through when he was sent to the army.
The convoy was about to enter the city, so Zhang Yan consciously walked down first. He no longer had to follow the car, and the documents in his hand needed to be approved by the guard at the gate, and then he had to go to the local government office to register.
The soldier in the city gate looked at the document and then at Zhang Yan, with a smile on his face. People who come back alive from places like Yubei Mountain are naturally respected in the military. He led Zhang Yan into the city guard post. A team leader inside checked the documents in Zhang Yan's hand again, and then asked Zhang Yan to wait while he took the documents to the resident clerk to check the registration order. .
This round trip takes one meal. There was an additional seal on the document brought back, which was the "Langyuan City Guard Seal" and the personal approval of the city guard officer "Zhou Cang".
At this point, the relationship between Zhang Yan and Junwu has officially come to an end. All that's left is to register at the local government office in Langyuan City.
Although Zhang Yan is "the first time here", his body is already very familiar with Langyuan City. Every time he takes a step inside, corresponding memories will come up, telling him where to go to the left and where to go to the right. Where is there, and how far ahead is there a delicious snack shop...
While Zhang Yan was busy accepting these new memories, he found that the anxiety in his heart did not seem to be getting worse. Instead, he felt much calmer after entering this city.
"Hey, this yamen is pretty bad." Guided by his memory, Zhang Yan quickly found the gate of the local yamen in Langyuan City in the city. What caught his eye was a shabby facade.
Although the two doors are tall, they are obviously worn out. The red paint on the doors has fallen off, and some corners even directly exposed the wood inside. The copper nails on the door are also glowing green, making people wonder if they have never been repaired?
Anyway, this is the big city that Zhang Yan has been to. It can be said that this is the worst yamen gate.
There were two government officials standing guard outside the door. When they saw Zhang Yan approaching, they asked, "What are you doing?"
"Two gentlemen, I'm here to settle down."
"Registration? Where are the documents?"
"Haha, here, look." Zhang Yan took out the document and handed it to the other party.
"Oh! Brother, you are awesome! A place like Yubei Mountain can help you clear your grave and come back alive? Tsk, tsk, this is my first time seeing you. Okay, take your things and come with me. Wang Guanren is free right now."
"Okay, please excuse me." Zhang Yan took back his paperwork with a smile, and then followed the other party into the Yamen.
As soon as I walked in, the inside was not much better than it looked at the door, it was just as dilapidated. However, there are many flowers and plants planted along the road, and they are all blooming beautifully.
Not far after entering, he stopped at the door of a public house.
"Master Wang, someone is here to register with military documents. Can I bring them in for you?"
"Well, bring him in."
