The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 515

late at night.

The people in the Xiaoshan Evening Breeze Inn seemed to have fallen asleep.

Xu is used to this in the past few days.

No matter how noisy the rain outside the house, he was unmoved in the slightest.

There is even a "night owl" who is not too noisy, climbs and sits on the window sill, watching the rain and the moon at the same time.

It's just that the eyes of the "night owl" seem to have no focus.

Let’s talk about watching the rain, what you see is nothingness and blackness, not a single drop of rain falling from the dome.

Let’s talk about admiring the moon. The faint light that he sees hanging in the night sky is nothing but broken petals attached to one place layer by layer.

This "night owl" looks more like a "blind cat".

It wasn't until the eyelids of the "night owl" slightly closed that the eyes that were originally sharp swords gradually became more lively.

Even so, the waning moon in the sky is still not the only moon in the world in those eyes.

Or it doesn't look like a moon at all.

And it looks like a full moon scimitar with layers of afterimages and hard to distinguish between reality and reality!

Jiang Yichen is undoubtedly the "night owl" who regards the waning moon as a machete.

The reason why he was the only one waking up when everyone else was asleep was because he had really slept enough these days, and it was nothing more than a feeling of uneasiness.

My uneasiness comes from this rain.

Since it rained on the road five days ago, the rain has not stopped.

Under the heavy rain, it was difficult for the horses and chariots to move an inch, and they only traveled ten miles in five days.

Fortunately, the terrain of Xiaoshan Mountain was relatively high, and the only decent inn in the mountain happened to be unoccupied, which gave a large group of them a place to stay temporarily.

Otherwise, with only two carriages, they really couldn't withstand the ruthless rain.

However, a few days ago, they thought that the early summer rain would come and go quickly, and they would wait for a while, or at most one day and one night before they would rest, but they didn't know that their rest would last for five days.

Jiang Yichen only thought that because of the many mountains in the Jiangxi region, although it was already summer, the climate in the mountains should be slightly humid and cooler, so that there would be such a scene of "spring tide with rain coming late".

However, his idea was rejected by many parties within a day.

According to the owner of the inn, the proprietress, three waiters, a kitchen guy and two local village women who do the cleaning work of the inn, this continuous heavy rain is really the only thing they have ever seen in their lives!

It's no wonder that Jiang Yichen knew so much about the composition of the staff at the Night Breeze Inn, so he was in a hurry.

If it weren't for the distance between the inn and the nearest village, Jiang Yichen would have been able to figure out the situation in the village.

The more things Jiang Yichen learned from the people in the inn and the local people, the more Jiang Yichen lamented a big truth: people plan things, and God makes things happen.

No matter how carefully Luo Piaoling arranges it, and no matter how hard the old man cooperates, how can he expect this rare heavy rain in a hundred years?

After sighing, Jiang Yichen couldn't relax anymore.

Being trapped in heavy rain and unable to travel for many days is definitely not a good thing.

If you stay for one more day, the danger will increase.

If the rain doesn't stop for ten days and a half months, then their line of business may become a turtle in the urn!

Fortunately, there is a moon hanging high tonight, and the rain will decrease or stop within two days without accidents.

At that time, I was packing lightly, and if I could get out of the rainstorm as soon as possible, the situation would change.

Therefore, at dinner tonight, everyone gathered in the hall to discuss the matter of repacking and going on the road in the next two days.

Set off again and set the departure route.

As for the original planned route, it is impossible to go.

Because the bridge leading to the wild boar forest is broken.

According to local villagers, the dam on the upper peak mountain was washed away, so the stone arch bridge on the lower reaches also suffered.

Everyone spread out the map prepared by Jiang Yichen, studied it for a long time, and asked the innkeeper and his wife for their opinions.

In the end, it was concluded that the best route was to detour around Ninglu Ridge and take Naning Terrace.

Since the Ninglu Ridge has the word "Ling", it means that the terrain is still higher.

The high terrain means that there is no risk of mountain torrents.

In addition, the road is not steep and the slope is not steep, and the most difficult road section was specially repaired by the then emperor a hundred years ago as a place of poetry and painting. The nearly ten-mile road is paved with bluestone slabs, which is very convenient for carriages and horses.

The only downside is the distance.

It takes twice as long to go out of the Jiangxi border by detouring the Ninglu Ridge than the wild boar forest. After leaving the Jianggan border, it takes three or two days longer to reach Lingnan. When planning the southbound route, the reason for not choosing this route.

However, the matter has come to this point, and we should discuss the matter as it stands.

There is no way to go around Condensed Ridge, and it is also the best way at present.

Without the drop of rain five days ago, Jiang Yichen would not have raised any objections.

But the rain five days ago and the current situation made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the dark warning sign.

He expressed his worries to everyone.

Based on this concern, he made another proposal.

--Wait.

Wait for another three days, and after learning more information, decide when to set off and whether to detour around Ninglu Ridge.

Everyone voted together, whether to rush on the road when the rain stopped in the next two days, or to stay put for the next two days and stay up for three days and three nights to see what happened?

After some votes, more than half of them chose the former.

Of course, there were not many people who supported Jiang Yichen's proposal.

However, with Xi Weiyu as the leader, the younger generation such as Yunzhang, Yunjing, and Yunlongkui may have adoration factors, and it is impossible to compare the pros and cons in their hearts.

Chu Shangu, who was not young, almost laughed out loud after hearing what Jiang Yichen explained, but he firmly supported him when voting.

Xiao Hua stood by Jiang Yichen's side because he healed Niu Kelian's wounds along the way.

By the way, Niu Kelian also got a vote.

But after all, it is still not enough.

The reason why Jiang Yichen's proposal was not adopted by one vote came from Niu Kelian's analysis.

Just as everyone is worried, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If you stay for one more day, it will be more dangerous.

This danger is not limited to themselves, but also concerns the local people.

If they really become the shackles here, at least these innocent people in the inn will inevitably be implicated.

Even if the rain doesn't decrease in the next two days, they should leave this place.

And in Niu Kelian's view, the real warning sign is not the rain, but the broken bridge.

If the dam is damaged and the arch bridge is broken, it is not caused by human beings.

If someone does it deliberately, then they can only take the danger away if they leave as soon as possible.

Jiang Yichen will naturally cooperate with all the things agreed upon.

But he couldn't hold back the strong uneasiness that surged up in his heart in the dead of night.

Normally, Jiang Yichen would never be so suspicious and believe in the so-called warning from heaven.

However, the Daoyi League intelligence network, which has been in secret contact with him in recent days, has gone wrong today, and did not put the intelligence news of that day in the agreed place, which undoubtedly made him even more worried.

Most mature intelligence networks do not necessarily know each other's identities. Although it is beneficial to protect intelligence personnel from being trapped, once one or two of them are in danger, they cannot grasp the details in a short time.

If there is still no corresponding information in the next two days, it means that what Niu Kelian said is that there are people behind the damaged dams and broken bridges, and they will have no choice.

That Ning Terrace is the way to go!

Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, feeling a chill in his heart and lungs.

From Niu Kelian's words, he felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and gradually understood what Luo Piaoling was carrying on his shoulders.

Knowing that you can't do it, in addition to the indispensable resourcefulness, perhaps more courage is needed.

After being sad for a short time, Jiang Yichen finally felt a little bored.

Just as she was about to close the window and go to bed, she noticed movement outside the door.
