My life of martial arts training
Chapter 96 Return to Qinghu City
"Then let's go back quickly and see what's going on." Old Ding said quickly with anxiety on his face.
"Well, that's right." Weng Fang's eyes were also anxious.
Their wives and children are all in Qinghu City, so how can they not be in a hurry.
Although Huangshi Castle is rich in supplies, its security is far inferior to that of Qinghu City.
Therefore, most of the escorts and their families are settled in Qinghu City.
Everyone quickened their pace.
But this behavior made Cen Junzhi suffer, and he was knocked out of breath, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
His sister is also in Qinghu City.
He is more anxious than others.
······
When everyone saw the unplanted fields, their hearts became heavier and heavier. This location was only twenty miles away from Qinghu City.
It wasn't until they continued walking for ten miles that they saw many poor people working hard in the open fields, and their high spirits finally let go.
"Something is wrong. How can we farm a field and still have city guards patrolling?" Deng Chengping frowned, looking confused.
On the edge of the field, there were many soldiers wearing light armor and holding spears. They were the city guards of Qinghu City, patrolling and guarding, and there were quite a few of them.
The rest of the people were also puzzled. When did the city guards become so dedicated and patrol the city?
"Why are you thinking so much? Just go and ask." Shen Yuan said calmly.
He had nothing to worry about, being alone.
Even Lu Xiaohu's family will not be in any danger under the protection of Hongshi Martial Arts School.
Everyone no longer hesitated and walked towards the city guards.
"Stop, who are you?" A city guard about thirty years old shouted immediately.
The remaining city guards looked at Shen Yuan and others with alert eyes.
In order to pretend to be encountering horse bandits, they now look quite embarrassed, with their clothes in tatters and their faces covered in blood.
More like a refugee than a refugee.
"Don't get excited, guys. I am the head of the Changlong Escort Bureau, Deng Chengping." Deng Chengping cupped his hands and said.
The leading city guard looked at him carefully and said in surprise, "He is really the leader of escort Deng."
Although the escort agency said that they came and went only once every ten days and the frequency of going out of the city was not high, due to the excessive amount of goods, they inevitably had to deal with the city guards to smoothen the relationship.
"I'm Wei Le'an, Chief Deng, you...how did you become like this?" The leading city guard cupped his hands and put away his vigilance.
"I met horse bandits on the way." Deng Chengping smiled bitterly, with endless sadness on his face.
"Did you also encounter horse bandits?"
Wei Lean's eyes widened, his tone suddenly raised, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "These horse bandits are really becoming more and more unscrupulous. Even warriors who have refined blood three times dare to rob."
"??"
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
What does the other party mean? Are there still horse bandits who dare to come to Qinghu City to rob?
"You may not know. Just a few days ago, a group of horse bandits who came from nowhere seemed to be crazy. Instead of robbing, they came to arrest people. A large number of people were arrested."
"This incident caused shock from above, and the army was sent to search, but they didn't know where these horse bandits were hiding, and there was no trace at all. I thought it was over, but two days later, these horse bandits came out again. , and many people were arrested.”
"We have been confronting the horse bandits for several days, but these damn horse bandits have not shown up. However, the horse bandits can hold them back, but Qinghu City cannot. This month is the planting season, and it will be later."
"This year's harvest will be greatly affected. A famine may break out in Qinghu City, so the superiors ordered us to go out of the city to be on guard, but this range is only within ten miles."
Wei Le'an's face was extremely ugly, and he talked a lot about how comfortable his city guards usually were, but how could they be in a good mood when they were sent to do such a dangerous thing.
Yan Cheng and others glanced at the farmers working in the fields. The number was obviously much smaller, and everyone was absent-minded. They looked up from time to time to check the surrounding situation, and the working speed slowed down a lot.
They suspected that if the city guards had not forced them to farm, the number of people would have been even smaller.
"Arrest people? Are you really crazy?"
Everyone felt relieved at first, and then their faces became very heavy, smelling a different crisis.
There are horse bandits who specialize in robbing money, and there are even some who steal money and silence them, but they never arrest people.
Moreover, you have to give the captured person a bite of food. Isn’t this unnecessary?
There is obviously some conspiracy, although it may not necessarily fall on them.
"I didn't expect horse bandits to be so rampant. It's really hateful." Deng Chengping showed an expression of resentment appropriately, and then said;
"Captain of the guard, I have something to do here, so I'll go back first."
"Oh, this world is getting harder and harder." Wei Le'an nodded and sighed.
Soon, the outline of Qinghu City gradually appeared in the field of vision.
A large group of poor people lined up at the city gate, and the number of city guards was several times greater than usual.
After Deng Chengping took out a few taels of silver, everyone entered the city directly.
"Brother Yuan, I'm going back first." Yan Cheng said with a heavy face. This time the escort agency suffered heavy losses, and he didn't know how to explain it.
"Brother Yuan, it's the same here." Deng Chengping sighed. The losses on his side were greater than those of Yan Cheng, both in terms of goods and personnel.
"Well, let's go." Shen Yuan nodded without trying to hold back too much. Everyone is smart and doesn't need to be reminded.
"Brother Yuan, I'll go back first." A trace of anxiety flashed across Cen Junzhi's face. His sister didn't know how worried he was after leaving for several days.
"Wait a minute." Shen Yuan said lightly.
"Anything else?" Cen Junzhi asked in confusion.
"Help me find a house in the city."
"What do you require for the house?"
"Quiet, remote, and a little bigger." Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said.
Now that he has the financial resources, he naturally doesn't want to live back in the previous house.
And his current practice makes a lot of noise, and living there will cause unnecessary trouble.
"Okay, I promise to arrange it." Cen Junzhi's eyes flashed with joy.
"Brother Yuan, then I..."
Shen Yuan waved his hand, looked at Cen Junzhi's figure leaving, and walked towards his own residence.
People came and went on the street, mostly ragged poor people. The changes outside the city made many people dare not go out of the city to farm.
The already hard life became even more difficult.
The anxious expressions on the faces of the pedestrians on the road were beyond words, and their steps could not help but speed up subconsciously.
After crossing several streets, Shen Yuan returned to his residence.
He did not think much about his home, and just as he was about to push the door, a voice suddenly came from inside.
Shen Yuan frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Looking for death!
He exerted force violently, and the door, which was not very strong to begin with, was pushed open at once.
