Sitting in the carriage, Xu Mu pondered for a long time, thinking about the fate of these dozen villagers and how to deal with the aftermath.
"There is a Toothless card."
"Nothing." Several villagers on the carriage said tremblingly.
"Those personal teeth burned all the teeth I was waiting for."
It is a normal method for Ren Yazi to trade people and burn away tooth cards. After all, such things, whether overt or covert, cannot be criticized.
"If anyone asks, you guys should know what to say, right?" Xu Mu was still worried and asked again.
"Master, we know it. If anyone asks, just tell them that there was a war in Hezhou. We escaped all the way, and the toothpaste does not count."
"Just remember."
Except for two or three older people, these more than ten villagers are also considered to be young and strong. Coupled with the relationship between the villagers, Xu Mu does not want to give up.
What's more, there is also an iron man.
But if you want to buy a new toothpai, you will definitely not be able to go to the two or three big cities nearby for fear of being recognized.
"Let's go to Changyang together." Xu Mu hesitated and said.
Once you enter Changyang, you should be far away, so there shouldn't be any big problems. What's more, in this declining era of the Daji Dynasty, if you knock on the door with money, there will be nothing you can't do.
"Master Tie, if you... have any necessary items, you can buy them together when you arrive in Changyang."
Tie Ye huddled behind the carriage and shook his head tiredly.
Xu Mu was speechless. Apart from the previous sentence, Tie Ya ignored him at all.
"Si Hu, be more careful."
A dozen people crowded into a carriage, and the old horse was very tired from running. As a last resort, when passing a farm, Xu Mu spent more money to buy a second carriage.
By the time the two carriages drove abreast, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
"Sanfu, please tell me, how far have I traveled?"
"My boss, it should be sixty or seventy miles away."
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Sixty or seventy miles away, the disaster of Yaxing should be left behind.
"There is a small town just ahead. Let's rest for half a day and continue driving in the afternoon to reach Changyang."
The villagers, who were already exhausted after traveling thousands of miles all night, cheered after hearing Xu Mu's words.
After leaving a bag of silver for Si Hu, Xu Mucai rubbed his shoulders, leaned on the carriage, and fell asleep slightly.
The sun was dazzling, as if I had a nightmare.
In the dream, Si Hu, Chen Sheng, the maid's wife, Zhou Zun and others, densely packed with hundreds of villagers, lined up and knelt down in front of the huge vegetable market.
An old official sat high on the table and coldly threw down the lotus.
Immediately afterwards, heads one after another were suddenly separated from their bodies in the bloody world. Hundreds of wild dogs rushed over and snatched away familiar faces.
Xu Mu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He opened his eyes in pain. When he found that there was still blue sky and white sun in front of him, he silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Sanfu approached from the side and handed over a bowl of sour plum soup.
Xu Mu took it and drank it in two gulps.
"Nothing. Sanfu, what time is it?"
"My boss, it's too late."
No time, around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Mu raised his head and glanced at the sky, fearing that something might happen if he left too late and walked a long night road.
"Boss, I told them about you beating up the old gangster. Now, everyone is convinced." Sanfu said with a smile.
The old gangsters in Mati Lake were probably quite resentful to these villagers. On the contrary, Xu Mu, who killed the old gangsters, became their hero for a time.
"We have picked the sticks. If we encounter someone cutting the path, I won't be afraid anymore."
Xu Mu smiled faintly and asked someone to collect the sticks first and hurry on their way. The two carriages began to drive away as the old horses neighed happily after being full.
After traveling for nearly a hundred miles, we met a town again. After another night's rest, we didn't arrive in Changyang until the afternoon of the next day.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Xu Mu raised his head and felt that the world in front of him suddenly became clear.
Among the twenty-three cities along the Ji River, Changyang in front of him was like the prince of the Eastern Palace, receiving countless favors from the Great Ji Dynasty.
The south gate alone is extremely magnificent. The plaque on the gate is not only plated with gold, but also has a lifelike dragon carved on both sides of the plaque.
The four teams of officers and soldiers on patrol were all wearing majestic robes and armor, tied with hair crowns, holding halberds, and stood coldly near the city gate.
Of course, the eyes of the officers and soldiers guarding the city were full of dejection. In Xu Mu's words, this outfit was a bit wasted.
It was probably at the feet of the emperor, and it was related to the state. These officers and soldiers guarding the city did not create any difficulties. They only interrogated and checked the notarization, and then allowed Xu Mu to lead the people into the city.
The broken silver in his hand could not be handed over for a while, so Xu Mu simply gave it to the three blessings behind him.
"Brother Mu, this, this city is so big!" Si Hu exclaimed in surprise as soon as he walked onto the street after entering the city.
No wonder Si Hu was like this. From the border to the inner city, this time he followed Xu Mu and entered the capital for the first time.
"Brother Mu, that's the palace, right?"
Xu Mu looked up and found that under the faint sunlight, a large group of palaces was looming at the end of the due north.
"It should be."
"Then the old emperor is in there?"
"It's the Young Emperor." Xu Mu was a little speechless, fearing that someone might hear something inappropriate, so he hurriedly silenced Si Hu.
Walking on the street paved with bluestones, I saw all the wealthy people with money bags in their pockets. Occasionally there were some who were more raggedly dressed, so they hurriedly hugged their heads and walked quickly, for fear of letting others discover that they were not related to this prosperous age.
out of place.
On the east side of the street, scholars and students could be heard reciting. When Xu Mu turned around, he discovered that in the middle of an island in a blue lake, there stood an academy with exquisite features on all sides, somewhat like a pavilion on a lake.
To the west is Fanshi.
There were countless restaurants, theaters and gambling houses. There were jugglers in two stalls, one stall at a time, and they put on the grand finale of the show, which made many spectators throw their silver coins into the gong tray.
"Brother Mu, there is also a river in this city!"
It is not surprising that there are rivers in the city. For example, in the wine city Tangjiang, there are rivers flowing through the city. But what surprised Xu Mu was this big river in Changyang.
It was clearly an artificial river, with neat embankments, symmetrical water willows, and countless boats. The oirans competed with each other and made many wealthy young men smile.
If the idea of building a canal is used to resist Beidi, there is no need to worry about the lack of military power.
"Business girls don't know how to hate the country's subjugation, and they sing as flowers in the backyard across the river." Xu Mu sighed and sighed.
"Brother Mu, what are you talking about?"
"Swearing."
"Who's messing with you!" Si Hu bulged his eyes and wanted to draw the knife again.
Xu Mu spit out a filthy mouthful and flicked a small chestnut on Si Hu's head.
"First go to the official office and get the dental license and employment notarization. Then before nightfall, see shopkeeper Zhou."
"Shopkeeper Zhou, do you have mutton soup?"
"I know you want to eat it, even if it doesn't exist, it will come out."
Si Hu suddenly became happy and laughed while holding the knife.
In this life, he lived a very simple life. He ate when he had food and spent money when he had money. If someone bullied his brother shepherd, he would beat him up.
