"Brother Song, how could I have imagined that you actually escaped from there with me."
"I never thought that Wang would see the light of day again."
In the dense mountain forest, there are two figures walking through it at this moment, it is Song Mu and Wang Fusheng.
Wang Fusheng was following Song Mu at this moment, his face filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
But then he sighed slightly, turned his head and looked at the forest behind him and said.
"It's just that I still couldn't rescue those people. Those people entered the Holy Song, but they didn't know what would happen."
Song Mu was calm after hearing this, and just smiled and said.
"I think Brother Jisheng doesn't have to worry too much about these things. If I can take you out, there will naturally be powerful people who go to the holy pilgrimage. I heard that the city has been destroyed, so some people must have escaped."
Hearing this, Wang Fusheng suddenly looked at Song Mu, his eyes flashed with joy, he let out a sigh of relief, and saw half of his sleeve again.
At this moment, his eyes swept across Song Mu, and he suddenly stopped and bowed his hands respectfully towards Song Mu.
"This time I would also like to thank Brother Song for his life-saving grace. Wang will never forget it."
Saying this, the other party was about to bow down to Song Mu, but Song Mu immediately used a force to support the other party, and then said with a smile.
"Brother Jisheng, why are you like this? You and I are both from the Wen Dynasty. This is just a righteous act."
Saying this, Song Mu turned his head and looked forward, then pointed with his hand and said.
"Brother Jisheng, you should hurry up with me and head towards the South Yunnan Mansion quickly. It has been many days now. Maybe you have already given birth to a son."
Wang Fusheng's expression suddenly changed after hearing this. At this moment, he thought of his wife and children at home. His eyes flashed and he nodded quickly.
"Brother Song is right, I should move on."
With that said, the two of them continued to move forward, each walking a little faster. At dusk, Song and Mu finally crossed the mountains and arrived at the foot of a big city.
This is Diannan City, the important city of Diannan Prefecture, and it has a resounding name.
Zhennanguan.
This place was an important base of the Wen Dynasty in the southwest border, and it could be described as a hub. For this reason, the Wen Dynasty stationed 100,000 troops here, and the military equipment was extremely complete.
Song Mu and Wang Fusheng looked at the tall city in front of them at the same time, with a bit of surprise on their faces at this moment. Wang Fusheng took the lead and led Song Mu forward.
However, the two of them had just arrived at the city gate, where people were queuing up to urge people to leave the city. The city gate was about to close at dusk, and the people who were queuing up to enter the city were also extremely anxious at this moment.
Song and Mu were standing in the team. The soldier also saw the two men dressed as scholars. At this moment, he quickly came up to verify their identities, and then specially took the two aside to check before entering the city.
"You two adults, please go through these three verifications one by one before entering the city."
Song Mu was stunned when he heard this, and Wang Fusheng next to him was also surprised, and now he asked.
"Excuse me, I have been walking through the mountains and forests these days, but I have never seen anything like this. I don't know what this is..."
The soldier only said that it was business and asked the two of them to quickly inspect the city.
Song Mu didn't say much at the moment and just stepped forward to inspect. In front of him were three soldiers holding three things, waiting for Song Mu to reach out and inspect them.
These three procedures were to drip blood on the crystal to verify the identity, and then to drip blood on a stone slab. The stone slab was dark and thick, but Song Mu could recognize that what was written on it was the great scholar's.
Articles about slaying demons.
But doing this was not enough. The soldier asked Song Mu to put his palm in front of a cage.
There was sudden movement in the cage, and then a sharp beak stretched out and pecked at Song Mu's blood, appearing very happy at the moment.
Only then did Song Mu see clearly that there was a beautiful little bird in the cage. It was a creature that was very sensitive to human blood, especially the blood of the literati of the Wen Dynasty.
After going through these three procedures, the soldier saw that there was no problem. At this moment, he bowed respectfully to Song Mu and let Song Mu go inside.
Wang Fusheng, who followed closely behind, also walked into the city, but experiencing such a scene made him somewhat puzzled.
"I had never seen anything like this when I left the city. These soldiers looked quite nervous."
After saying that, he looked at Song Mu and asked with some doubts.
"Brother Song, it seems like something big happened?"
Wang Fusheng asked curiously. Song Mu also lowered his eyes slightly at the moment, naturally understanding what was going on.
Such a troublesome inspection is obviously related to the blood demon cause.
Only things that confuse the human race's inspection methods would cause a city to use so many methods for inspection.
But what Song Mu was confused about was that the imperial court should have known about the blood demon cause, but it only took a few days for such a big city to act like this, and whether something had happened.
Song Mu immediately raised his head and decided to investigate.
When Wang Fusheng saw that Song Mu didn't reply, he looked a little embarrassed for a moment, but then he stepped forward and bowed his hands to Song Mu and said respectfully.
"Brother Song, I guess this is my first time here. If you don't mind, please stay with me at home today."
"This can be considered as giving Wang the opportunity to treat him well."
When Song Mu heard this, he just smiled slightly, then raised his hands and said.
"Thank you Brother Ji Sheng for your kindness. It's just that Song came here this time because he actually has other things to do. I think we can raise a toast next time we are destined to come."
When Wang Fusheng heard this, his face was slightly stunned, and he quickly stepped forward to continue talking to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, this is..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly noticed that the pressure on Song Mu suddenly changed, and the aura of Juren had become unpredictable at this moment.
The sudden situation made his eyes widen and he was speechless for a moment, but Song Mu just smiled and said at the moment.
"This trip to the Holy Songs, you have the unyielding character of a scholar like me. Song is very pleased. If there are smart children in the family, they can be sent here to study."
With that said, Song Mu put a wooden sign into the opponent's hand. Wang Fusheng just looked at Song Mu at this moment, not knowing what to say.
After a while, he came back to his senses, only to find that Song Mu had disappeared. Now he looked at the token in his hand, and there were four words engraved on it.
Xuanyuan Academy.
Wang Fusheng's expression was stern, and he suddenly raised his head and murmured to himself.
"Xuanyuan Academy, Song Dynasty...could it be..."
Wang Fusheng was horrified for a moment, and now he was respectfully saluting in the distance on this street.
At this moment, Song Mu flashed his figure in the city for a few times, and then immediately found the yamen of the South Yunnan Mansion. At ten o'clock in the sunset, Song Mu walked towards the yamen.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the government office immediately stepped forward to stop him. Song Mu took out a post and asked the soldier to send a message.
"Please let the prefect take a look at it and say that Mr. Song is here to discuss important matters."
Seeing Song Mu's extraordinary aura, the man hurriedly went in to report. A moment later, a middle-aged man in red robe hurriedly ran out of the government office.
Seeing Song Mu standing at the door, he immediately bowed and saluted.
"I'm the magistrate of Southern Yunnan Prefecture, Guo Darui, but I didn't expect it to be Song Dynasty... Your Excellency came in person to welcome you, even though you were far away."
