Chapter 31 Seeing is believing 1

When the Song airship appeared on the border of Luzhou, the local Ma Bujun front camp found this huge thing, because it was something that had never been heard of, and it was big enough to cover the sky and the sun. All the soldiers in the camp who had seen this thing with their own eyes were frightened and scared to death. They thought it was an ominous thing, and rumors were everywhere in an instant. From ten to ten, from one to one hundred to a hundred, and a hundred to a thousand, the whole camp was in a mess of porridge in a moment. If it hadn't been for the command of Hou Zhong, who had captured several unlucky people who spread rumors and caused trouble by the command at the critical moment, and went down with bloody facts to shake these domineering generals with bloody facts, then the bombing of the camp in the day is It is inevitable that the Hou commander will also be included in the list of laughter by later historians.

However, the opposite is true. From the moment when the airship flew over the camp of the forward battalion, Hou Zhong firmly stabilized the army's heart, and then ordered half of his soldiers, about a hundred and half of them went out with him to track the flying monster, and the other half guarded the camp to stabilize the army's heart. .

A trumpet sounded, and Hou Zhonghou, who ruled the army rigorously and had a high prestige in the army, strode out of the camp. He came to the bright ripe copper robe on the stage. A touch of red spirit on the lion's head helmet moved with the wind. A bronze knife in his palm waved diagonally from the air and roared: "Don't, don't I'm afraid. I can't believe the strange power of the gods, and I don't believe in any demons and monsters. What's more, there is no reason why ghosts are rampant in broad daylight. When I was fighting against Khitan in the border, I was injured and fell into a coma, so that I lay in the pile of dead people with corpses all over the field and thousands of miles of blood before I was saved. At that time, I was not afraid. Those who have gone through ugly ghosts and evil spirits to chase their souls and seek their lives, and the children should not believe any nonsense. These are all nonsense. Today, I will lead the children to track this unknown thing. When they are verified, those rumors can be broken without attack. Well, get on the horse and go!"

Then the sound of drums in the camp shook the sky, the cannons sounded in unison, and the 100-person cavalrymen who were ready to go rushed out of the camp and followed the airship Song.

Hou Zhong led more than a hundred of his own soldiers to follow the huge thing to a place about a few miles south of Luzhou City before stopping, lined up on the hillside in the distance to watch the movement ahead.

It took more than half an hour from Shu County to Luzhou Prefecture. The reason was that the passengers on the airship were so nervous, excited and excited that after arriving at the destination, everyone was still not satisfied. It took a pot of tea on the seat before leaving slowly.

Zhao Ze greeted Luzhou with a smile and explained why he didn't drive directly into Luzhou City: "Gentlemen, everyone, this airship is not strange. You have seen it and have taken it. Everyone knows what this airship is, but I think it's not only the people in Luzhou Prefecture, but even officials have never seen this flight. Boat, in case of direct driving in and causing unnecessary panic or being attacked, I think this is not good, so we choose to disembark one li away from the city, which is also for everyone's safety, so please forgive me!"

Everyone bowed their hands and returned the salute, "Well, well said, then we will go down and ask Zhao Shisi to take more care of us in the future!"

"That's of course, that's of course..."

Zhao Ze sent the guests off the airship while greeting. The hatch on the abdomen of the airship was opened, and the Hummer was driven out first, followed by the housekeepers, servants, goods, cars, mules and horses of the gentry of Shu County, and finally Chen Hu's two carriages full of goods.

When Xu Jin left the airship, he was still spitting and explaining the decorations in this huge thing to his mother. The flowing clouds in the sky and the earth under his feet suddenly saw Zhao Ze and suddenly remembered that he could take a ride and ride to Fucheng on a Hummer. Unexpectedly, his mother Tang Caier frowned and said a word, which stifled his crooked idea in the bud. It's in.

"Jin'er, what did you say when you came? Didn't you say you were going to accompany your mother to see your uncle? If you are disobedient, your mother will be angry."

Xu Jin sighed and thought about the long time to come. When I got to my uncle's house, I took the time to encourage my uncle to live in our Shu County for a few days, so that I could take the airship again. In this way, I calmed down for a moment and followed my mother in a soft sedan chair to the nearby city.

After sending away the gentry, Chen Hu came to Zhao Ze's side and patted Zhao Ze on the shoulder. "Brother, it's time for us to go on the road. There are a lot of things today. I will send you to the government office first. After meeting the magistrate, I will go to do my own business for my brother. As for the place where I live, I have already arranged for my family to book a few at the Yuelai Inn. Go to the room, and then you can ask Wu Er to lead the way. He is diligent enough. It's the best time to help you run errands!"

"Brother Hu, this cost you money. Brother, I'm really sorry. Otherwise, I'll treat you to dinner, and your housekeeper will also be included!"

Chen Hu shook his head and smiled, "Brother, that's what I'm telling you. In fact, I still owe you more for my brother. Don't be polite anymore. When you come, my brother has already ordered it. Our Chen family can still afford this accommodation. If you don't accept it, you look down on our two brothers. In this way, don't shirk it. What's more, you agree to what you said to your brother. Such a good thing, don't say that it's all-inclusive food and accommodation for your brother, even if I have all-inclusive food and accommodation in the future."

Zhao Ze's face was hot, and he hugged his fist in embarrassment. "In this way, it's done according to Brother Hu's intention, then... Then I will thank Brother Hu on behalf of my cousin and a group of elders in my family. Well, let's not talk about it. Brother Hu, let's get in the car. Let's go to Fucheng."

Chen Hu nodded. After getting on the car, the Hummer was in front, two cars of goods were in the back, and three cars in front of the back slowly headed for the south gate of Fucheng.

Hou Zhong clearly saw this scene in the grass not far away. First, the huge thing fell to the ground silently, and then a hole was opened on the side of the abdomen. He walked out of a group of people in turn. He knew more or less a few of these people, because they were all heads and faces in Shu County, and then a bigger hole was opened behind, like The lion opened his mouth like a big mouth, a big car, a small car, a servant, a mule and a horse, and dozens of people, horses and drivers came out like this.

Finally, I saw a strange thing. There was no need for a mule and a horse. I only relied on four wheels to carry two people on the road and went on my own. There were two carriages behind me. The people in the carriage did not panic at all. It seemed that it should be an acquaintance...

As soon as Zhao Ze walked far away, Hou Zhong immediately got up from the grass. He waved his hand and rushed down the hillside like a whirlwind of more than a hundred cavalry and came to the front, surrounded the airships, bowed, bowed and knives out of the sheath, and then separated ten soldiers followed him to chase him in the direction of Fucheng.

At the south gate of Luzhou Prefecture, the gate was as usual, ordinary and casual. Several gatekeepers stood in the shade to avoid the sun. A corporal sat under the pergola on the outside and drank tea and looked at the pedestrians who came and went. When he saw the goods, he went up to collect taxes. Generally Pedestrians are also too lazy to pay more attention to it.

However, that was half an hour ago. Half an hour later, there were two more teams of soldiers at the South Gate. Lord Wu, the gatekeeper, was present in person. Although it was a casual suit, almost all the merchants who often came and went to Luzhou Prefecture knew this Wu prison gate. It was strange to see Lao Wu present in person.

However, Wu Jianmen felt even more strange. Half an hour ago, he was still sitting in the government office drinking tea and chatting with his subordinates. With a summoning, he had to come here to eat dust against the sun. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he saw a team of crossbowmen secretly moving towards the south gate on his way. His heart couldn't help but raise his throat. Even if he sat under the pergola at the gate, the wind could not blow and the rain could not beat him. He was like sitting on a needle and felt. He couldn't help looking around to see which one passed by more like a thief and bandit, so that he could prepare to escape in advance.

The south gate of Luzhou Prefecture is in front of you. The gentry of Shu County entered the city happily, that is, the kung fu of the forefoot. Zhao Ze's Hummer also came to the front. Before it reached the gate, he only heard someone behind him shouting, "You stay. I have something to ask!"

When it came to the end, a black charcoal-like horse swept over the Hummer, shook its head and suddenly blocked the middle of the road. Zhao Ze quickly stepped on the brake. The car stopped less than half a foot away from the black horse, which scared Zhao Ze into a cold sweat. Although the speed of the car was average, it was made of steel after all. No matter how strong the tall horse is, it can't stand the car.
