The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 676 Depression Long Street
During the white dew season, the city of Youjing is breezy and breezy.

The sky in Zhangzhou County is clear during the white dew season.

Both belong to Zhongzhou, and the climate is different from the north to the south.

In the same Zhongzhou, people's sorrows and joys are not connected.

The people living in Youjing City could not hear the horses neighing and drums beating in the Xing'an Realm.

The people living in Zhangzhou County did not see that Jiulian Mountain was once raging with fire and fighting without sleep.

Most of the time, no matter what happens at the state level or in the rivers and lakes, it will not have much impact on the daily life of the people.

You can still see the sunrise and sunset every day, you can find something to eat when you are hungry, and you can find a place to drink a few sips of wine when you are happy or unhappy. There is an opportunity to tell stories and listen to anecdotes about major events that happened at the state level or in the rivers and lakes.

But there are always exceptions to everything.

Just as there is an old saying that has been passed down for quite a long time in Jianghu, "The Jianghu is dangerous, only in the Jianghu".

The general meaning of this statement is that even if the people in the city are not far away from the rivers and lakes, they can always live a peaceful life year after year, but once they get involved with the rivers and lakes, they have to guard against unexpected disasters or unexpected windfalls. Misfortune is unpredictable.

Putian County was in trouble because of the Red Clothes Sect.

Although Zhangzhou County was not directly affected, the salt cutoff inevitably affected the daily life of the people.

Zhangzhou County, which is slightly smaller than Quanzhou County, is located in the southernmost part of southern Fujian.

The emperor was far away but surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the local people lived a life that was not rich but comfortable enough.

Food is the most important thing for the people. In the slow-paced life, the common people are particularly good at what to eat and how to eat, which has given birth to many famous snacks.

The stewed noodles with rich and sweet stew, the crispy and soft five-spice rolls with crispy skin, the sweet and sour hand-cooked noodles, the salty, spicy and fragrant bean curd vermicelli are all known to women and children in southern Fujian It is also a special snack highly praised by dignitaries who pay attention to the desire of tongue.

Usually, these snacks can be found in stores or stalls in any village or village.

But the Red Clothes Sect emptied all the private salt storages in Fujian to prepare for the battle of Jiulian Mountain, and the official salt stock was difficult to cover the entire Fujian. After half a month, every household had to start using it quantitatively every day. With the tight storage of salt, it is really unsustainable to sell snacks.

However, in the morning, the Baizhang Snack Street in Longxi Town, which is always crowded with people, is bustling, but at this time, there are only a few pedestrians, and the other end can be seen at a glance.

A gust of autumn wind blows.

Pushing the fallen leaves on the ground and scraping the sound.

I don't know if it is welcoming the arrival of eight guests on the snack street.

Among the eight guests, there were only two men, and the remaining six were all women.

Two of the six women had curly hair, but none of them looked old.

A tall, strong man with short hair and a square face was standing on the right side of everyone with a short-handled square hammer on his shoulder.

Another man who was a little behind the crowd had a small red mole between his eyebrows and a gentle face.

At a cursory glance, one would think that these eight people were a rather weird combination, or that members of a gang mainly composed of women went out to practice, and two men accompanied them as guards.

In fact, these eight people are the five members of the "Dragon Capture Squad" who came from Luojiang Town, Quanzhou County, following the trail of the Yulin Dragon, and the three girls from the dyeing workshop who volunteered to help.

In the past two days, the eight people have traveled a lot.

First, he made a big circle around the surrounding villages and mountains of Luojiang Town, then turned to Zhanggang, and then headed south.

It is worth mentioning that they seem to be able to find traces left by the Yulin Dragon all the time on their search.

At first Meng Fang thought it was Yulin Long who kept it on purpose to confuse or provoke them.

However, after he almost lost the clue and lost his tracking direction, Meng Fang later realized that Yu Linlong was not only poisoned, but also tampered with.

Otherwise, no matter how familiar a manager of the dyeing workshop is with the private property of the Red Clothes Sect in Fujian, it is impossible for him to keep biting the tail left by Yulin Dragon and not be thrown off.

Meng Fan didn't know what tracking and searching method Yulin Dragon had used, but he could only be sure that it had something to do with Mo Li.

Because Meng Fang has already thought of the other identity of Mo Li that Gongsun Yu mentioned a few months ago when he introduced Mo Li to San Renju.

Thinking of what the other party had done in the arena, Meng Fang felt that it was only natural for him to have such a smooth progress.

And this "capture the dragon" task is not so difficult to complete.

Eight people stayed overnight in the forest yesterday, and after half an hour of searching this morning, it was confirmed that the jade loach had plunged into Longxi Town.

Only then did the eight people follow.

It's just that Mo Li's tracking method seems to be more effective in the mountains, forests and grasslands, but it will inevitably be discounted in densely populated places, and it is no longer possible to give accurate directions.

Everyone thought that Yulin Dragon probably also had this guess, so he took refuge in the town for a while to rest, so they chose to go to the snack street to relax a little.

Who knew it would be such a cold and desolate scene.

"Hey, what a blessing, it's been four or five years since the last time I ate braised noodles with five-spice rolls."

Nangong Hanyu stroked her belly and pouted, recalling the delicious food she had tasted when she first came here in the past, her stomach was full of emptiness and her mouth full of helplessness.

Meng Fang smacked his lips and said, "What to eat is a trivial matter. Eating all day long is bland and tasteless. I can barely lift the hammer."

Xiao An, who was standing behind Meng Fang, lowered his head and blamed himself, "I should have brought more salt from the dyeing workshop."

Meng Fang hurriedly turned around, patted his head and said with a sneer: "Miss Xiaoan, that's not what I mean... eh! I can't blame you, if you didn't bring out the salt, we might not touch it for two days , besides, if you bring more salt, what will happen to so many sisters in the dyeing workshop?"

Nangong Hanyu hurried over to hold Xiao An's hand, and comforted him: "Sister Xiao An, Brother Meng is right, but I don't mean to blame you, it's all caused by those goddamn red-clothed thieves!"

Meng Fang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what sister Han Yu said is that it was all caused by the thieves taught by the red clothes."

Mrs. Wan Teng followed with a few words of comfort.

Bing Yi directly changed the subject, saying: "The quickest way to solve the problem of salt shortage is to second from the neighboring states first, but the court has to come forward for cross-state affairs. It also takes a ten-year effort, and it is nothing to the officials and big households, but the common people are the ones who suffer.”

He has never had an official position, and he only made inferences based on decades of experience, and he felt helpless in his heart.

In the past two days, everyone has been traveling non-stop all the way, and has never complained or tired. Now it is very easy to chase to a place with a little smoke and fire. Originally, I wanted to take care of a few girls, but my plan was ruined.

Sui said: "Since you don't have to enjoy your appetite, why don't you find an inn to rest and have a simple breakfast?"

"Well, I guess it doesn't taste much to eat in Fujian these days, so let's deal with it."

Mrs. Wan Teng, who was a little older, asked several girls for their opinions with her eyes, and gave an affirmative answer.

So they walked through the streets and alleys to find an inn to stay.

Just when the eight people finally found an inn with more rooms to settle down, they heard a sudden burst of gongs, drums and shouts from the street.

"Neighbors, come and listen, come and see!"

"Master Li Enli is generous and kind, and he knows that the neighbors in the neighborhood are struggling to survive due to the lack of salt in their homes."

"There is a lot of salt stored in the center of Xing's mansion, and it is scheduled to be distributed outside the gate of Li's mansion tomorrow at 16 liang."

"For two days in a row, there is something for everyone. I hope the neighbors in the neighborhood will tell each other well."

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!

"Neighbors, come and listen, come and see..."

After such a straightforward publicity, the deserted street immediately turned into a joyous scene.

Everyone was grateful and praised Mr. Li Enli for his kind deeds.

Even the shopkeeper of the inn and the waiter ran to the street to join in the fun with all smiles on their faces.

The eight guests were left alone, looking at each other.

Hearing this news for the first time, everyone also felt happy for the local people.

Then Mo Li frowned and said: "What a coincidence, something is wrong!"

　The two algorithms in this book are unified according to the modern ones.

　　Same as Chapter 205.
