Chapter 1 Small Town Accommodation
The original empire, the northern frontier of the Xia Empire, is bordered by the sea in the east and stretches for thousands of miles to the west. Although it is bordered by desert grasslands in the north, it is not an extremely cold place. And now it is midsummer, so the northern border of the empire is not as cold as imagined. The easternmost and northernmost country of the empire is Yanyun. Now this is the key attack area of the orc empire. And the land of Yanyun was mainly supported by hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from Huaiyi, Baiyue, Jingyue and Xiangman in the south of the Xia Empire.
More than half a month has passed since Zhang Zhentian and the others left the Su family. On the way, Zhang Zhentian, Jiang Dongfang, Su Tianxing, Su Wanyue, Fang Kun and a group of five people were hungry, thirsty, and overnight. They finally arrived near Yanzhou, the capital of Yanyun, and then they could enter Yanzhou City for another day.
"Mr. Zhang, Yanzhou is ahead!" Su Tianxing came to Zhang Zhentian and pointed to a big city faintly visible in the distance and said, "We can reach Yanzhou by walking north for another day."
"It's finally here!" After saying that, Zhang Zhentian looked into the big city in the distance. He thought to himself that if the distance was calculated, the location of Yanzhou City would be similar to that of Beijing in the earth world.
"Brother Zhang, do you think this Yanzhou looks like our Beijing?" Jiang Dongfang also rushed to Zhang Zhentian's side at this time, "When you were there, Brother Zhang, have you ever been to Beijing?"
"I've been there!" Zhang Zhentian listened to Jiang Dongfang's words and replied with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would go to Beijing again here." After saying that, two men from the earth world looked at each other and laughed. Although the other three people don't know what they said, they also know that it must be related to their original world. These are the things they asked but couldn't understand, so the three of them simply went to talk about other things.
Zhang Zhentian and others walked forward for another half a day. The sky gradually darkened, and a heavy rain was coming. Zhang Zhentian turned to Su Tianxing beside him and said, "It seems that we can't get to Yanzhou today."
"Mr. Zhang, I know a small town ahead. Why don't we go there?" Su Tianxing listened to Zhang Zhentian's words, he thought for a while, and then suggested, "Although the place is not big, there is everything to eat and play. It's a good place to go."
"General Fang, the weather is bad today. I'm afraid it's going to rain soon. According to the star, can we avoid the town in front of us for half a day and then go to Yanzhou after it clears up tomorrow? Zhang Zhentian listened to Su Tianxing's words. He stopped the horse and turned around to ask Fang Kun who followed him.
"Good! Everything is up to your arrangement. Fang Kun nodded and agreed. Along the way, he has found Zhang Zhentian's ability to predict the weather, so Zhang Zhentian said that it would rain, and he would not believe it! In fact, for Zhang Zhentian, what does it mean to predict the weather? He did this in the earthly world.
"Stars lead the way!" Zhang Zhentian saw that Fang Kun also agreed to his request. As he rode up the horse, he greeted everyone, "Let's go to the town to take shelter!"
Half an hour later, Zhang Zhentian and his party rushed to the town mentioned by Su Tianxing. However, the scene here made the five people in this industry feel stunned. The small town should have looked very prosperous. However, now the streets are full of rags of cloth or abandoned cases, and the lanterns outside each door have also fallen to the ground, most of which have been damaged and can no longer be used. However, Fortunately, the body was not killed on the street, otherwise, Zhang Zhentian and others would have thought that this had just experienced a catastrophe.
"Mr. Zhang, here..." Su Tianxing saw the scene in the town, and he looked at Zhang Zhentian with some embarrassment. It was his idea to come here. Now that the town has become like this, he naturally has a little...
"Nothing!" Zhang Zhentian waved his hand, "Don't let it go!" Maybe this place has been like this for a long time. Zhang Zhentian paused and looked up at the town for a while. "Now the heavy rain is coming soon!" Let's go to the town to find a shelter from the rain first. Maybe there are still people in this town who can't say for sure!" After saying that, he put water spells on his hands, and Jiang Dongfang, Su Tianxing, Su Wanyue and Fang Kun behind him also operated their weapons and prepared for battle.
"Look! Brother Zhang. A child ran past!" Shortly after the five people entered the town, Su Wanyue found a five- or six-year-old child running away in a secluded alley. She immediately called Zhang Zhentian and pointed out the direction of finding the child.
"Cue up!" Zhang Zhentian heard this. He strangled the sitting war horse and then urged the horse to catch up. When the other four saw Zhang Zhentian's war horse running out, they immediately followed them and chased them.
The child in the alley jumped in front of him. However, he suddenly heard the sound of a war horse behind him. He turned his head and found that someone was chasing him. He was so scared that he ran forward happily, and he shouted loudly, "Help! Run! Killing people!"
Zhang Zhentian listened to the child's words. Although he didn't really listen, after all, the Xia Empire was also a vast country. Although the original people everywhere speak the same language, their accents are still slightly different. However, his ** war horse would not pay attention to the child's shouts. It rushed directly to the child's back, and Zhang Zhentian, who was riding on the horse, could catch the child running on the ground. At this time, a man came quickly from a nearby fork. He raised an arrow and flew directly to Zhang Zhentian's shoulder.
"Ah!" Zhang Zhentian subconsciously felt that someone attacked him. He raised his left hand and four water bombs flew in the direction of the feather arrow. With "Puff-w!" With the sound, the feather arrow was hit by the water bomb hit by Zhang Zhentian and fell to the ground. And the child who had been close to Zhang Zhentianma took advantage of this opportunity to run away for a while.
"Little Six! Go back and call someone." The person who just cast a dark arrow on Zhang Zhentian saw Zhang Zhentian blocking his attack. While blocking Zhang Zhentian's horse, he pulled his bow in his hand and was ready to fight. "Who are you? Dare to come to our town and be wild!"
"Are you from the town?" Zhang Zhentian listened to the words of the person opposite. As he was ready for defense, he strangled the war horse, "We are merchants from Dongyi Kingdom and passed by here. Originally, we wanted to stay in the town, but we found that..." At this point, Zhang Zhentian turned around and said, "Ha ha, I just saw the child. We originally wanted to catch up with the question. I didn't think the child was frightened, so... misunderstood! It's all a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" The opposite person listened to Zhang Zhentian's words. He looked up and down Zhang Zhentian, and then looked at the four people behind him. He sneered and said, "Look at the appearance of you holding sharp weapons, why don't you look like ordinary merchants? You must be a strong man pretending to be?"
"Hmm! We..." Su Tianxing listened to the words of the man opposite, and he felt very unhappy. He pushed forward to refute a few words, but he didn't want to be stopped by Zhang Zhentian again. "Haha! Now that the soldiers are in chaos, we businessmen who walk around the world naturally have to prepare some self-defense equipment. You said, right? Girl!"
"You..." The person opposite heard Zhang Zhentian say, he, oh, right! She was stunned for a moment, and then still replied with a sneer, "I can't see that your hearing is not bad!" If you can't tell the identity you are waiting for today, don't blame my aunt!" As soon as the man finished speaking, the bow in her hand pulled the full moon again. On her left hand, three feather arrows were put on the bow at the same time.
"Sister opposite, have you ever seen a strong man come out with his daughter to rob?" Su Wanyue saw that the woman opposite was quite arrogant, and she also urged her to come closer. "Moreover, you can see that we are all martial arts and magic people. Aren't the five of us rivals?"
"Haha! Maybe you are a strong woman!" The woman opposite listened to Su Wanyue's words, and she sneered and replied, "Who do you think you are?" Even if there are five more, my aunt is not afraid!"
"Xiuer! Don't be unreasonable." Between the two quarrels, an old man brought a large group of people from a distance. These people all wear the clothes of the people of Yanyun, but they hold all kinds of blades in their hands. The leading old man came closer. He looked up and down at Zhang Zhentian and the others and said, "My name is Yao Ju, and I am the elder of this town. Who are you? Can there be customs clearance documents?
Zhang Zhentian listened to Yao Ju's words and looked at the old man again. He felt that although Yao Ju was old, he had a dragon and tiger spirit and seemed to be a person with profound cultivation. Then he looked at the people behind the old man, and he felt that they were indeed the people nearby. Immediately, he turned his eyes to Fang Kun. Fang Kun saw that Zhang Zhentian turned his eyes to himself, and immediately walked to Zhang Zhentian, and then whispered, "Mr. Zhang, it seems that they are the local people."
Zhang Zhentian listened to Fang Kun's words, he nodded slightly, and then looked at Su Tianxing. Although Su Tianxing is young and angry, he is extremely smart. By this time, he already understood what Zhang Zhentian meant. He immediately turned over and took out a document from his arms, and then respectfully handed it to Yao Ju's hand. "Old man, this is our customs clearance disc. Please have a look."
Yao Ju nodded with approval, and then he reached out from Su Tianxing's hand and took the disc. As he unfolded the disc, he asked casually, "Looking at the format of the disc, you must not be businessmen, are you?"
"Hehe, it's not a good old man! We are soldiers of Dongyi Kingdom!" Zhang Zhentian saw that the old man knew the dedicated DVD for the army, and he frankly admitted, "We came to the border this time to support the Baiyue army stationed there."
"So that's what happened." After reading the disc, Yao Ju handed it back to Su Tianxing's hand, and then he reached out to summon the woman who had just stopped Zhang Zhentian from moving forward to him. "This is Yao Xiu, the granddaughter of the little son. Xiuer, why don't you come forward and apologize to the guests who came from afar?"
"No need!" Zhang Zhentian saw that Yao Xiu was dissatisfied. He quickly said, "Ha ha, it's also my reckless move. That's why Yao Xiu was more careful. I should apologize to Miss Yao." After saying that, Zhang Zhen bowed deeply to Yao Xiu.
"You...that's all! That's it! It's all my fault." Yao Xiu saw that Zhang Zhentian was so gentle that she did not look like she was riding on a horse just now. Her face turned red, and her tone softened a lot. "The little woman is a mountain village girl. General Zhang, just don't look like me." Since Zhang Zhentian and others are holding the army's disc, and Zhang Zhentian seems to be the leader of this group of people, it is not wrong for her to call Zhang Zhentian a general. After all, this is just a polite name, which is not true.
"Haha! Since they are all our own people, it's a false alarm!" Yao Ju saw that the misunderstanding was resolved, and he smiled with his white beard. Before a few days, he looked at Zhang Zhentian with a solemn face, "General Zhang, why don't you come to our Yaoshubao if you don't go to Yanzhou?"
"Old man, look at this day." Zhang Zhentian said, and he pointed to the top, "It looks like it's going to rain heavily soon. So, we want to stay in your town for a while.
"Alas!" Yao Ju shook his head, and then he looked at the sky again. Finally, he turned to Zhang Zhentian and said, "Let's go! General Zhang. Come with me and I'll take you to a safe place to avoid. It's not going to rain, but monsters! It seems that it will soon come to the castle again.
