Chapter 54
"Shopkeeper, do you have clean water for your paving?"

The official road was dusty, ten Da Zhou cavalry came on horseback, they all stopped in front of the stall, a sergeant jumped off his horse, his body was light, and he landed silently, like a civet cat.

"My lord, there is a [-]-meter-deep well behind the small shop, you can get it yourself!"

The shop owner and Xiao Er saw the team appearing from a distance, and before the cavalry approached, they had already stood on the road and waited.

The Great Zhou established its dynasty with military force, and now there are constant wars on the border, Erlang defends his family and the country, the court attaches great importance to the army, and the common people dare not neglect.

"Take out all the dry food and cooked food from the shop, we are in a hurry, we need it now!"

The leading sergeant took out a bag of broken silver and tossed it to Xiao Er, and the cavalrymen who followed him also fell off their horses one after another. They quickly walked to the well behind the paving with wooden buckets, pumped out clear water and carried them to the side of the road.

After a while, the team to escort the prisoners of war came in mighty force.

The prisoners of war in the team had already traveled long distances, their mouths were dry and their lips were chapped. Looking at the buckets placed by the roadside, it was as if they had seen a hungry wolf of flesh and blood, and they wanted to plunge their heads into the bucket and drink wildly.

But looking at the long whips stained with dried blood in the hands of the sergeants beside him, no one dared to challenge the authority of the sergeant Da Zhou, and they all lined up obediently to get water to drink.

"These are Da Luo prisoners of war escorted by the Labor Service Department of the Ministry of War to Beishi for sale!"

The old man Tu held the chicken legs in one hand, filled the wine with the other, and his mouth was full of oil, "There are constant wars in the world. The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for 80 years, and it has been fighting for 80 years. Needless to say, Beimang has been strong since ancient times, but it has lived in a corner. Da Luo is also eyeing Zhou Chao covetously, following Bei Mang all these years, he has often stabbed Da Zhou secretly!"

His eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at the prisoner-of-war team, smacked his lips and said, "But having said that, men in Daluo are vulgar and ugly, but women are white and tender, and when they are touched by men, their bones are crispy and soft, and they are like cotton wool when pressed against them. The Kamikaze country women who are facing the sea are even more able to serve men, Lao Tu, I also had a one-night affair when I was young, and I still remember it!"

Old man Tu talked about meat and vegetables without any scruples. Jiang Xuanxin, who ate at the same table, had never heard such words before, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

But Jiang Li smiled slightly and said, "I heard from Tu Lao, did I go to Daluo when I was young? It is said in the book that the Daluo Kingdom admired me in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and imitated Zhongtu in terms of clothing, writing, and etiquette. There are also Huaxiao Dao and Jin Yanzong, which are as famous as the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Hey, Mr. Li, after you are the Marquis, you will also join the army in the future. If you meet Jin Yanzong's martial arts, you need to be careful that they have sharp legs and unpredictable ghosts and gods. But if you meet a woman from Hua Xiaodao, just Just grab your belt!"

The old man Tu tore off his shirt, revealing a bowl-sized scar on his chest, and said nonchalantly, "Please look, my lord, this is the price I paid for that night of flirting. If it hadn't been for the help of Lord Hou, I would have been squeezed dry by the old man." Now in Daluo, that little girl can really kill someone!"

"Shut up, you're full of obscenities, who's slave is this, so vulgar, you don't know how to discipline him!"

Under the wooden shed of the food stall, besides Jiang Li's table, there were three other tables of guests. They were men and women, sitting next to each other, all dressed as traveling businessmen.

A guest wearing a bamboo hat and covering his face with a black veil slapped the table heavily, and scolded in a bad tone: "Old man, you are not too young, why are you making up your mouth out of thin air, chewing people's tongues behind your back, and saying bad things about people? Xiao Dao is also a great sect in the world, an orthodox sect, imagine the three great xuannv, the Taoism is in its own lineage, mysterious and incomparable, how can you say it is so filthy!"

Her voice was clear and sweet, and even with cold words and reprimands, she was tactful like a song, but it was a bit difficult to pronounce the words, and the connection between the words was stiff, and the palm of the hand on the wooden table, the jade fingers were lush, white and slender, just like jade carvings.

"Hey, the old man was just talking about Hua Xiaodao. The little girl's anger is the work of Da Luo Kingdom? Or Hua Xiaodao's mother-in-law!" Old man Tu curled his lips, bared his front teeth, and smiled foolishly.

"Damn old man, you are courting death!"

The guest wearing a bamboo hat stood up abruptly, and wanted to hit someone with his jade hand holding the chopsticks, but was grabbed by a square-faced man beside him.

"You guys took off the veil, and Lu Yin also took it out!",

Although the quarrel in the wooden shed was not loud, it attracted the attention of the Zhou cavalry escorting the prisoners of war.

Several sergeants walked into the wooden shed, their eyes were like falcons, and they scanned the people in the shed.

After seeing the tiger-shaped jade pendants on the waists of Jiang Li and Jiang Xuanxin, several soldiers turned their gazes away, and finally landed on a group of merchants.

"Gentlemen, we are merchants from Huaiyi, and we are bringing some Suzhou embroidery into the city to sell!"

The square-faced man dressed as a merchant hurriedly stood up with a smile, took out the guide with the official seal from his arms, and handed it to the leading sergeant with both hands.

"Lu Yin is real, there is no problem!"

Several sergeants checked Lu Yin carefully and verified that Lu Yin was genuine, but they did not return it to the square-faced man.

The leading sergeant is a small flag from the ninth rank, with strength up to and down the Jiaowu realm. He stuffed Lu Yin into the breastplate, turned his hand and drew out the long knife at his waist. With a flash of cold light, he actually put it on the neck of the square-faced man superior.

"Mr. Jun, don't be joking. We are all businessmen with our own duties. These silver taels are dedicated to the gentlemen of the army for tea!"

The square-faced man's expression changed slightly, revealing a panicked expression, and hurriedly took out some broken silver and copper plates from his arms, wanting to pay tribute.

"Although the seven prefectures of Huaiyi are in the same province, they are against each other. People in the seven prefectures will only say that they are from that prefecture when they travel far away, and they will never call themselves Huaiyi people. Which country are you from? meticulous work!"

Xiao Qi knocked over the broken silver and copper plates with a single slap, and the long knife resting on the square-faced man's neck was lowered a little more.

"Masters, you are so serious, it's hard for me!"

The square-faced man suddenly raised his head, and his panic-stricken face suddenly changed into a strange smile.

On the wooden table next to him, dozens of bamboo chopsticks in the chopsticks tube moved without wind, and slowly floated up, lying in the air, trembling slightly, like flying swords.

"You are a cultivator!"

Xiao Qi screamed in alarm, shrank suddenly, rolled on the ground like an ape, and danced a long knife into a light curtain to cover his whole body.

In the next moment, the bamboo chopsticks floating in the air turned into phantoms, shooting like arrows, tinkling on the knife screen, and the trembling little flag retreated again and again.

"Find out the reincarnated body of Saintess Deshan after the autopsy, and bring it back to Da Luo!"

The guests wearing bamboo hats also shouted loudly at this moment, and the pedestrian businessmen around the three wooden tables responded.

Someone tore off his shirt, revealing a light armor carved with exquisite patterns, holding a short blade, and rushed towards the prisoners of war and Sergeant Da Zhou.

There were also people who quickly backed away, sitting cross-legged on the ground, kneading formulas with their hands, and a dark wind suddenly blew up in the wooden shed, filled with ghostly shadows.

"Damn old man, it's all your fault!"

The guest wearing a bamboo hat flicked his hand, and two bamboo chopsticks shot out, stabbing at the dazed old man holding the chicken leg.
