Chapter 5 The nobles return to the city, and the people retreat!
Fairy family? Fairy family again!
If the He family is really as domineering as the old beggar said, then this is the only possibility.
But if there really is an immortal family behind the He family, then why would He Lai Chao spend so much time searching for the immortal jade?
Could it be that something happened to the Xian family behind the He family?
Yunze thought about it and rejected this possibility in his heart.
This possibility is too small.
The legendary immortal family not only has the ability to move mountains and fill seas, break grass and chop the sky, but also can live forever and live as long as the heaven and the earth. How could something happen so easily?
Maybe these are just rumors and not true.
Yunze sat back down with a smile and stopped talking to the old beggar.
Although he wasn't hungry, he didn't show any signs of being strange. He ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, then he started to fall asleep with the package containing the package in his hands.
After Bubu and the old beggar fell asleep, he heard a soft cry, and then he took off his guard and closed his eyes to sleep.
Soon, the only sound left in the darkness was one person's breathing.
The old beggar raised his eyes, and the turbidity in his eyes was gone, but there was a bit more scrutiny.
His eyes stayed on Yunze for a few seconds, and then turned to Bubu, staring at him for a long time. After nodding, he showed a smile.
After the old beggar fell asleep, the thin figure also opened his eyes, glanced at the old beggar quickly, and then closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
The speed was so fast that one could not even tell whether she had really opened her eyes just now.
But there was a smile on the old beggar's lips.
A night of silence.
When Yunze woke up, it was getting brighter and the chirping of birds could be heard outside the window.
He looked at the old beggar and Bubu. They were both still sleeping in the same position as last night, snoring from time to time.
It seems that although this old beggar dares to blaspheme, he has no intention of harming others. He is a rare good person in this troubled world.
Yunze stood up slowly, trying to keep the noise to a minimum.
He slowly came to Bubu, and just as he was about to reach out to shake her awake, Bubu opened his eyes and looked at Yunze.
Although he didn't speak, his eyes were obviously asking him what he was doing.
"Shh."
Yunze put his finger between his lips: "Be gentle, don't wake that person up, we should be on our way."
"Haa~"
A yawn sounded, and the old beggar stood up and stretched himself: "Don't wake anyone up?
You kid, I just said you were on the road last night, why are you not sensible today?"
"Old sir."
Yunze didn't want to cause more trouble, so he turned around and explained: "Aren't I afraid of disturbing your rest? Why are you so ignorant?"
"What, you forgot?"
The old beggar stood up and walked towards Yunze, raising his hand and placing it on his shoulder: "Didn't we all discuss it last night? We are going to Weishan Mansion together! Don't tell me you forgot!"
"I……"
Yunze paused for a moment and quickly recalled the conversation last night in his mind. He clearly didn't say anything similar!
"Hey! You still don't believe it, do you?"
The old beggar looked at Bubu as he spoke: "Ask this girl! She must know! She even agreed to it at that time!"
"Huh?" Yunze turned to look at Bubu.
"Um."
Bubu nodded lightly, and she, who always spoke little, opened her mouth to explain: "You did say it, and you agreed."
Even Bu Bu said this, could it be that he really remembered it wrong?
But it would be nice to have one more person on the road.
When he fell asleep last night, the old beggar didn't do anything to either of them, so he probably didn't have any harmful intentions.
It just consumes more rations, and it doesn't hurt to have more people taking care of you on the road.
"That's what I remembered wrongly."
Yunze bowed his hands towards the old beggar: "Old sir, please forgive me."
"Hey! What's this?"
The old beggar walked towards the outside of the mountain temple as he said this: "Let's hit the road then? Let's go now. Maybe we can get in before the city gate at night!"
This is true.
Now that they had decided to go on the road together, Yunze did not delay and followed the old beggar down the mountain.
With a talkative person accompanying him, Yunze was no longer bored.
Along the way, the old beggar asked many times about Yunze's background and family, and from time to time he would throw out some so-called rumors to test his opinion.
It made Yunze feel like he was being questioned by his teacher in a private school.
However, except for the question of revealing his identity, Yun Zedu still answered the old beggar accurately.
During the lunch break, the old beggar stuffed himself with food. When he continued on the road, he shifted his target to Bubu.
Just like in the morning, he also took the trouble to ask about Bu Bu's background and family, as well as those strange questions.
Unlike Yunze, Bubu didn't like to talk. When the old beggar asked questions, she just pretended not to have heard him.
From time to time, he said "um" twice, which was regarded as a gift to him.
The redundant answer is absolutely none.
When it got dark, the three of them arrived at the gate of Weishan Mansion City, and the old beggar couldn't get another word out of her mouth.
As soon as they arrived at Weishan Mansion, the three of them saw the bustling crowd of people at the city gate.
There were only two states and seven prefectures in the Tangshan Dynasty. Except for Kyoto Prefecture, the remaining Shan and Yun prefectures each had three prefectures.
This Weishan Prefecture is one of the three prefectures in Shanzhou.
Although Weishan Mansion is on the border of the dynasty, it is also a commercial hub that exchanges supplies with other dynasties and empires. Its status in Yunzhou is extremely high, and it is extremely important even if you look at the entire Tangshan Dynasty.
It's just that Weishan Prefecture is only rich in itself. Like the surrounding mountain villages and towns, there is no dividend at all.
Not to mention Hanshan Village a hundred miles away, even the several mountain villages around Weishan Mansion may not have enough to eat for every meal.
In the eyes of the dignitaries in Weishan Prefecture, it is good for mountain villagers like them to survive, and they still want to have enough to eat?
hehe.
This is why there are still so many people lining up to enter the city even though the sun is almost setting.
The world is becoming more and more chaotic. Even if young people from surrounding mountain villages come to Weishan Mansion to pour chamber pots and seek an opportunity that does not exist, they are not willing to stay at home and wait to die.
Only by becoming a master can you have a chance to survive in this troubled world!
If you are just a poor peasant at the lowest level, you will have trouble even having enough to eat!
The three of them came to the end of the team, and as soon as they approached, they heard people in the same team discussing in low voices.
"What's going on? I've never seen those black dogs check so strictly before. Why are they so slow today?"
"Hey, you haven't heard about it yet? There is a big shot coming to Weishan Mansion recently. Those black dogs are afraid of letting people in and bumping into the big shot, so they may not let you in even if they give you money!"
"Big shot?"
Yunze smiled and walked up to talk: "What kind of big shot has such a grand pomp?"
The man who spoke turned around and looked at Yunze, and found that he was dressed like a mountain villager. Knowing that he was the same kind of person as himself, he took off his guard and said, "How do I know this?
If I could know who that big shot is, why would I have to wait in line here? I would have gone in in a sedan chair!"
clang!
As soon as he mentioned the sedan chair, Yunze heard a gong sound behind him!
He turned around and saw eighteen black dogs riding tall horses, with a carriage towed behind them!
It's them!
Even if these eighteen people turned into ashes, he knew that since they were all here, the people in the carriage must be... He Laichao!
The two leaders held gongs in their hands, struck them again, and roared at the top of their lungs like they were driving livestock.
"The nobles return to the city, and the people retreat!"
