On the official road, a dozen cavalrymen wearing Qi armor were shouting and constantly lifting the horse's belly with their legs.
Upon seeing this, the common people traveling along the road and even some carriage drivers hurriedly drove towards both sides of the official road.
Shui Yan was also among them.
Since it was my first time traveling far away and I didn’t know the way, the official road was the best choice.
After all, compared with other roads, official roads are not only wider than ordinary roads by more than one carriage, but more importantly, most official roads are directly connected to the next city, and there are few detours.
Therefore, when traveling far away for the first time, taking the official road will also reduce the risk of getting lost.
more importantly.
On official roads, there are generally no desperadoes such as robbers.
After all, no one is stupid enough to mess around in officialdom.
Robbing the people and undermining the dignity of a country are different in nature.
Although the former would be wanted, the latter directly forced the officials at the place where the incident occurred to fight to the death.
After all, you are on someone else's territory, and you slap someone's official in the face openly. In order to keep your job and avoid being angry, you are not allowed to use your head?
Therefore, the official road is undoubtedly the fastest and safest road among all roads.
Therefore, along the way, Shui Yan saw numerous carriages of merchants and nobles.
"quick!!"
Gulu gulu~!
Accompanied by a shout and the sound of intensive horse hoofbeats, a dozen Qi cavalrymen flashed past Shui Yan.
And this time.
The carriages that had just escaped and the people on their way returned to the official road one after another, looking at the retreating cavalry with puzzled expressions.
Seeing how anxious the cavalrymen were, it seemed that something big had happened.
But after the discussion.
Everyone should continue on their way, no one took it to heart.
"Get out of the way!"
"Step aside!"
Not long after the cavalry left, the carriages on the official road began to shout as the wheels turned.
When the people saw this, they quickly gave way.
"The humble should avoid the noble, the small should avoid the strong, the light should avoid the important, and go and avoid the coming."
This rule of walking on the official road is vividly displayed at this moment.
Shui Yan was no longer a newborn calf, and he was already accustomed to the 'privileges' of the powerful in this era, so he didn't find it strange.
This scene.
It's just one of the products of this era.
Compared to others, this is nothing.
An hour later, Shui Yan, who was carrying a package and a sword across his back, was on his way when he suddenly saw some Qi soldiers with weapons on the official road in the distance, who were conducting an investigation.
common people.
And at a place near the investigation, more than a dozen corpses suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
Men, women, old and young.
And a carriage with a lot of blood splattered quietly parked aside.
"How come so many people died!"
"Hey, if you dare to kill people on official roads, you are probably seeking death!"
Shui Yan listened to the whispers of the people rushing around him, and his eyes were very curious.
Follow the road.
Killing people in officialdom is indeed like seeking death.
Someone really ate the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and was so desperate for his life. What a hatred this must be!
On the official road.
Two Qi soldiers were wearing swords and constantly checking the people coming and going.
"Last name! Where do you live?"
After each inspection and confirmation of identity, the two Qi soldiers would be released.
Don't underestimate this method of checking people.
The cavalrymen have just informed the nearby cities about this matter, and it will probably not take long.
Don't talk about officialdom.
Even on country roads, there will be Qi soldiers checking.
If the murderer wants to leave, it's not that simple!
Shui Yan lined up, waiting to check herself.
At this time, he also saw a dead soul of the same age as him sitting there blankly beside the carriage.
Apparently the young man's ghost already knew that he had been killed.
It's just that I can't let go of the obsession in my heart, so the soul of the deceased has not dissipated for a while.
And when Shui Yan looked at him, the dead soul apparently also discovered Shui Yan who was the same size as him.
Just when the dead boy saw that Shui Yan was the same age as him, but he was already dead, he felt a little sad.
But suddenly discovered.
The boy who was as old as himself didn't seem to be looking at the carriage.
That look.
It’s looking at him!!!
This discovery immediately made the revenant boy a little stunned, full of disbelief. He looked at himself, could he not be dead?
But the next moment.
When the dead boy looked at the carriage, he saw his body again.
Suddenly, the emotion that had just been excited became depressed again.
really.
He is still dead!
No, no, then if he is dead, how can that young man see him again?
The dead boy who suddenly grasped the important point looked up with a puzzled look on his face.
"Can you see me?"
As if he wanted to verify something, the dead boy said to Shui Yan.
He had the tone of an aristocratic person before his death, but paired with that puzzled expression, it seemed particularly ridiculous.
The dead boy didn't get an answer, but he clearly saw the boy looking at him after hearing his words, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Can you really see me?"
Shui Yan's expression obviously frightened the dead boy. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Shui Yan in disbelief.
However, Shui Yan didn't pay attention to the dead boy at this time.
"Last name! Where do you live?"
The Qi soldiers looked at Shui Yan and asked him.
At this time, other nearby Qi soldiers also looked at Shui Yan.
They had just noticed this young man.
In other words, I saw a sword hanging across the waist behind the young man!
Therefore, during the current interrogation, they all cheered up. If the boy with the sword showed any weirdness, they would catch the boy in an instant and take him back for torture.
"Shui Yan, lives in Shuicun outside Linzi City."
While talking, Shui Yan took out the customs clearance wooden sign given to him by the man from his arms.
Seeing that Shui Yan had a clearance wooden sign, not to mention the Qi soldiers who were questioning him, but also the other Qi soldiers, their expressions relaxed.
As long as the wooden sign is not fake.
That young man has no problem.
"Hiss~!"
After the interrogating Qi soldier took the wooden sign from Shui Yan's hand, he subconsciously took a deep breath when he saw that the special mark was engraved with the word "田".
As a soldier in Qi State, how could he not understand what this "field" represents behind him.
Therefore, when he looked at the young man with the sword in front of him, the Qi soldier put away the contempt in his eyes because of the young man's clothes.
"What? Mr. Tian! You are Mr. Tian's person!!!"
However, next to the Qi soldiers who were questioning him, the dead boy looked at the wooden sign and reacted extremely fiercely.
"Go over there!"
However, the Qi soldiers responsible for the interrogation could not hear or see the dead boy beside him.
After handing the customs clearance wooden sign to Shui Yan, he indicated that Shui Yan could continue on his way.
"Thank you!"
Shui Yan took the wooden sign and put it in his arms. He thanked the Qi soldiers and continued on his way.
Seeing this, the ignored boy of the dead spirit quickly followed Shui Yan.
"Hey, hey, hey, I am the son of the Wrinkle family. My father and your Lord Jiatian are colleagues. Hey, hey, hey, did you hear what I said? Stop, stop!"
