Outside Song City, Su Cheng, Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao and others were preparing to leave, but Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian stayed behind.
Su Cheng didn't ask much about Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian. Everyone had their own destiny, and it was impossible for him to understand them all.
After bidding farewell to Songcheng, Su Cheng officially continued towards the capital, not only to investigate the affairs of Fan Seng and Cihang Old Demon, but also to find out that the Yuque Sect was also in the capital.
There are many powerful sects in the world, but firstly, most of them have closed their mountain gates, and secondly, their location is also very mysterious. Yuque Sect is one of the few whose whereabouts can be found by secular people.
"According to what Cheng Huang said, there are several sects behind the Yan Dynasty, and the Yuque Sect may be one of them. Now that the land of the capital is turbulent, it is impossible for them to have no movement."
Taoist Tian said that although he has a good family background, he is still much weaker than these big sects. If someone from a big sect can help, the sealing matter can be solved as soon as possible.
"It's a pity that we couldn't contact Yan Chixia who we met before. Otherwise, with people from Jiange here, things would be easier to handle."
Just like Su Cheng, Taoist Tian also thought of Yan Chixia. Unfortunately, there was no way to contact them, so he could only think about it.
"If we are destined, we will meet."
Su Cheng didn't say much, but judging from the original plot, Yan Chixia went to the capital in the end.
Of course, they don't have Ning Caichen accompanying them this time, but since Yan Chixia showed up for the Yaksha incident last time, there is no reason why the other party would avoid it this time around the capital.
"Let's not talk about other things. I just hope that our journey will go smoothly this time and there will be no more accidents."
Zhao Min said softly that there were too many accidents on the way to the capital.
"It's hard to be afraid of trouble. This place is still thousands of miles away from the capital. It's not too far, nor is it too close. However, this world is too chaotic. There are demons and ascetics. It's too easy for things to happen along the way."
Su Cheng said lightly, from the original plot of Liaozhai, we can know that this is really a world full of demons, or in other words, it is precisely because of the ubiquitous demons that such a special Liaozhai world is formed.
Compared with those ordinary people, Su Cheng and others were quite lucky, at least they did not encounter a fatal situation.
Just like Ning Caichen, people who are lucky will encounter monsters on their way, not to mention other people. But luckily, everyone else died in the end, and only Ning Caichen survived.
Afterwards, no one talked for a long time. When night approached, they stopped to rest in a secluded place.
"Xiao Zhao, how is your health? Nothing serious, right?"
If it hadn't been for the matter between Fan Seng and Xin Shiniang, Su Cheng would not have gone to the distant capital at this time.
In Su Cheng's plan, after Xiao Zhao returns to the Yangtze River, he is planning to find a secret place to practice cultivation in secret, and after improving his cultivation level a little more, he will show up again to do these things.
But things are always changing, and Su Cheng can only change his plan again and head to the capital first.
"Sir, I'm not a weak woman. I'm just on my way. It's nothing."
Xiao Zhao said softly, if it hadn't been for the return of the sun just now, she wouldn't even need to rest tonight and could continue on her way.
But at the moment, after all, she has just integrated with her body, and it still needs time for her body to recover. It is already very rare to be able to travel for a day without cultivation.
Again, the roads in this world are rugged and difficult to walk. Even if you are riding a horse, the hardship is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Su Cheng was about to say something, then waved his hand to signal Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao to be quiet, then stood up and came outside the tent, where he also saw Taoist Tian.
"There is no evil spirit, it seems to be a human being?"
Taoist Tian said in a solemn voice, but did not lower his guard. It should be noted that sometimes, people are often more terrifying than monsters.
"They are indeed people, but there are too many of them."
Su Cheng was not aware of any malice or danger, but the movement coming from the ground was not small. Judging from the sound, there were probably hundreds of people in the group.
It's already night, and it's still such a desolate place. Who else would rush on their way at this time?
Before Su Cheng and Taoist Tian could wonder for too long, they saw a large number of people and horses swarming in.
There were more than a dozen big men on horseback in front, all wearing armor, carrying bows and pouches on their backs, with knives on their waists, and spears on their horses. Behind them were dozens of people walking with flags, and finally there were some people pushing prison carts with various kinds of people inside.
All kinds of prisoners.
Is this someone from the government? It seems that he is escorting important criminals, otherwise there would not be such a large number of people escorting him.
"Whoever is blocking the road ahead, get out of the way!"
Sounds of scolding could be heard from a distance, and it was obvious that these people had also discovered Su Cheng and others.
Not only Su Cheng and others are wary of others, but also the people in the government. When they find people like Su Cheng in such a secluded place, they will naturally be suspicious.
Tread!
A burly man, wearing a red robe, boots, and a forehead protector, who seemed to be a leader, was riding on a horse. He looked at Su Cheng and others, then raised his hands and said:
"I haven't asked anyone yet? Why are you here late at night?"
This man is a smart man. He saw that people like Su City can travel late at night, and their clothes are clean, their demeanor is calm, and they have an extraordinary bearing. It is obvious that they are capable.
"People from outside the country have seen the general. I and a few others came from Songcheng and were preparing to go to the capital. When we were passing here, we realized that it was getting late, so we stayed here to rest. I didn't expect that it would hinder the general and others on their way."
Su Cheng returned the gift with his hand, but his words were polite. He understood the concerns of these officials. After saying this, he planned to simply clean up and move to another place.
"Young Master, please stay. My men were reckless earlier. I am Liu Sheng, a Qianhu of the Xuanyi Department. Today I am escorting a group of imperial prisoners southward..."
As a member of the imperial court, Liu Sheng naturally had extraordinary knowledge. He immediately guessed the identities of Su Cheng and others, they must be those cultivators, and said:
"The reason why we were so careful before is really hard to explain!"
Having said this, Liu Sheng paused for a moment, as if waiting for Su Cheng to ask questions, but saw that Su Cheng shut up and remained silent. The Taoist beside him seemed to want to speak, but did not speak in the end.
However, Liu Sheng ignored him and immediately spoke:
"I don't know which master I have provoked. In the past few days, people among our troops have died mysteriously from time to time, but no reason can be found. I have seen a few people with extraordinary demeanor. They must be those cultivators with great magical powers.
Please show mercy and save me."
After saying this, Liu Sheng knelt down and bowed. Compared with life and death, these appearances are not that important.
Before Su Cheng could speak, Taoist Tian couldn't wait to step forward to help Liu Sheng up and asked directly:
"First tell me what happened. If it can be solved, we will naturally take action."
