Demonic invasion: I can no longer hide my identity as a demon!

Chapter 104

All the way from Jizhou to Hongnong.

Looking at the map, it's not that far.

But even with a forced march, it would take at least seven or eight days to get there.

After all, the soldiers under Gao Lan's command are all infantry, not cavalry.

Plus there are some things that need to be dealt with later, so the estimate of seven or eight days is a conservative estimate.

Wang Hao is a man who can't sit still, so he simply asked Zhang Nan and Wang Fu to stay in Shan County to learn swordsmanship while waiting for Gao Lan.

And what about Wang Hao?

He took Zhao Yu and Deng Zhan with him to travel along the way.

Riding slowly on horseback, Deng Zhan gnawed on a roasted leg of lamb and ate it with relish.

"My Lord, your cooking skills are really good."

Deng Zhan sucked his fingers and said with lingering satisfaction:"To be honest, after eating this roasted lamb leg, I have a feeling that I will never forget."

"Actually, my cooking skills are average!"

Wang Hao raised his lips slightly and said,"The key is that the materials are better. After I purified the salt from the salt pond, it became much finer. It is delicious when used for barbecue and seasoning."

"Brother Hao!"

Zhao Yu packed up the remaining fine salt and said,"After we get to Yong County, can you teach me how to purify fine salt? If I can learn how to purify it, I guarantee that the food will be more delicious!""

"Don't worry!"

Wang Hao assured,"I promise you will learn it once, it's very simple!"

Deng Zhan glanced at Zhao Yu,"To be honest, although your barbecue skills are good, Miss Zhao's meals are really amazing. They feel even more delicious than the meals in Hongbinlou in Luoyang!"

Hongbinlou!

Even in Luoyang, it is very famous.

At the beginning, Yang Ci, Yuan Wei and others were there to celebrate the success of Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi.

This alone can prove the strength of Hongbinlou!

The chefs there are naturally the best in Luoyang!

But even so, in Deng Zhan's eyes, they are still not as good as Zhao Yu!

It is enough to prove how talented Zhao Yu is in cooking!

"That's right!"

Wang Hao said proudly:"Now that I'm away from Yu'er's food, I feel like nothing I eat tastes good. I really hope Yu'er can cook for me, Wang Hao, for the rest of my life!"

"whee~~~"

Zhao Yu smiled faintly, her face slightly red:"Okay, Yu'er will cook for Brother Hao for the rest of her life."

Deng Zhan laughed secretly:"My lord, look, Miss Zhao is blushing! Hahaha!"

Zhao Yu glanced at Deng Zhan:"Hate it, no!"

""Hahaha!" They laughed and chatted all the way.

They left the salt pond and continued to head west.

After about two hours of galloping,

Deng Zhan pointed to the city not far ahead:

"My Lord, look, that is Hedong Jie County."

Since we are in Hedong, how can we not go to Jie County for a stroll?

After all, this is the hometown of Guan Yu, the great general of Shu Han and one of the Five Tiger Generals!

Although it is impossible to take Guan Yu as a younger brother now, it is still possible to come and take a look.

If you meet a young man who is as powerful as Guan Yu, you will make a fortune.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Wang Hao kicked his horse's belly and galloped into Jie County.

In the past,

Wang Hao thought that Guan Yu was from a poor family.

But after carefully studying the historical materials, he really understood.

Although Guan Yu was a murderer, he was familiar with the"Spring and Autumn Annals" and understood the righteousness.

Based on this alone, it is known that the Hedong Guan family is definitely not ordinary.

Facts have proved that

Wang Hao is right.

The Guan family in Jie County is also well-known in the local area.

Although there are not thousands of their children, there are at least hundreds.

There are countless tenants and acres of land.

However......

It was different from what Wang Hao had imagined.

The Guan family in Xie County was not a family of generals, but a family of Confucian classics.

A man like Guan Yu, who was good at martial arts, was definitely an outlier in the Guan family.

No wonder!

After Guan Yu killed someone, he needed to flee his hometown.

Wang Hao guessed that it might be related to the fact that he did not follow the ordinary path and broke the rules of his ancestors.

(PS: This is similar to Taishi Ci. The Taishi family of Donglai was a family of Confucian classics, but there was an outlier Taishi Ci.)

After wandering around for a long time, there was nothing particularly interesting.

When Wang Hao was about to return to the posthouse, suddenly!

A noisy sound came from the alley not far away.

"Hit him! Hit him hard!"

"This disgraceful guy should be beaten to death!"

"This kid has completely disgraced our Guan family!"

"......"

Wang Hao subconsciously walked over and suddenly found that seven or eight young kids were surrounding a man and beating him.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

If Deng Zhan hadn't stopped them in time, the group of kids would have run away.

Wang Hao couldn't believe it!

The boy who was beaten up actually had murderous intent in his eyes!

There was blood in his nose, blood at the corners of his mouth, and blood on his clothes!

But......

The boy didn't cry or make a fuss.

He just held the thing in his arms tightly, stood up calmly, patted the dirt off his body, bowed to Wang Hao, and then turned and left.

"This child......"

Wang Hao couldn't help but praise:"It's interesting."

Deng Zhan seemed to have noticed something:"Yeah, he will definitely be a tough guy in the future."

Wang Hao waved his hand:"Let's go, follow him and see what he is going to do."

He followed him all the way.

Wang Hao found that the boy walked to the river.

He put down the things in his arms, reached into the stream, and washed his wounds. Cleaned the blood stains on his body.

The boy took off his clothes and took out a package from the grass nest next to him. Inside was a clean piece of clothing.

Immediately!

He picked up the things he had just put down and went all the way forward.

Wang Hao and others continued to follow.

They were shocked to find that the boy came to a simple fenced yard.

"mother~~~"

"Ping'er is back!"

Pushing open the gate, the young man stepped in.

But the one who greeted him was not his kind mother, but a woman holding a wooden stick, standing sternly.

"Cough cough!"

The woman glared at him and coughed several times.

The boy quickly put down his things and stepped forward to support him:"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

The woman was not moved at all. She picked up a wooden stick and whipped the boy:"I asked you to steal things! You are so naughty at such a young age that you have learned to steal things?"

"Mother!"

The young man stood still and let the woman beat him:"You can beat me, as long as I can drink the medicine after the beating, Ping'er will have no regrets even if you beat her to death!"

"bring it on!"

""Hit!" the boy yelled at the top of his lungs.

It seemed that this was not the first time he was beaten.

Wang Hao then realized that the thing in the boy's arms was the medicine he had stolen to treat his mother's illness.

Although stealing is not good, at least his starting point is filial piety, which is forgivable.

Wang Hao thought the woman would be touched.

But......

The woman showed no sign of stopping.

She continued to whip the boy and kept scolding him:

"Brat!"

"Are you trying to piss off my mother to death?"

"I wouldn’t take a single bite of these medicines even if my mother died!"
