Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 200 199. Two acquaintances

"Zhang Dasheng, Zhang Ersheng! Go get some dry firewood and light a fire."

Among the guards dressed in gray uniforms, a man shouted at the two companions who looked a little dazed.

"Go, don't be in a daze!"

"Yes!"

A young man seemed to be thinking about something, when he was called out suddenly, he answered hastily after recovering, and walked towards the distance together with the calm-looking young man next to him.

After the two walked a few steps, they glanced to their right side in unison.

Under the gradually darkening sky, a Taoist priest was standing far away, holding a piece of bean cake in his hand and feeding the horse.

Seeing this, the two closed their eyes, walked back all the way, and came to the low bush.

When the people who were going to pick up firewood saw the two guards with long knives and leather armor coming, they walked around far away holding firewood and left quickly.

I was afraid that one of the two grandfathers was in a bad mood, so he hacked himself to death.

And Zhang Dasheng and Zhang Ersheng seem to be quite satisfied with this effect, and the slightly younger Zhang Ersheng even raised his chest, showing his "bravery".

Sure enough, the group of people ran faster.

When everyone was gone, he chuckled lightly:
"Hey, sister, they are so timid."

Although the voice is rough, it reveals a delicate and naive personality.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dasheng said in a low voice:
"It's brother!"

"Oh yes, brother!"

The two began to gather firewood.

Then, Zhang Ersheng turned his head and took another look... and said in a low voice:
"Brother, why is this stinky Taoist priest who can tell stories here?"

Zhang Dasheng frowned when he heard this, and after picking up half a bundle of firewood, he said:
"I don't know either. But... stay away from him, you know?"

"why?"

Zhang Ersheng was a little puzzled.

Zhang Dasheng reprimanded in a low voice:
"What do you think? This Taoist priest was saved by that surnamed Li in Qiemo City. That Taoist Qiu is a mage in red. He was fine for such a big matter. On the contrary, he is still alive and well now. Make a disguise, and second, he hasn't followed the man surnamed Li, so something must have happened that we don't know. So, it must be right to stay away from him."

"But sister... brother saved his life!"

"so what?"

"...you have to pay it back?"

"What else? Have you seen any human being give us a life for another life!?"

As Zhang Dasheng said, he saw that something was wrong with Zhang Ersheng's expression, and subconsciously frowned:

"What do you want to do? I warn you, don't make troubles. The human race has come into chaos, and this is our chance to counterattack! If you are discovered, our family will be implicated, understand!"

"I...Of course I know."

Zhang Ersheng had a timid look on his face.

But Zhang Dasheng shook his head:
"Now that you know it, you should be down-to-earth! Didn't you always want to see how prosperous the capital of the human race is? This time, Dad put in so much effort to get the quota for us to go to Luoyang under the help of the clan elders." , what we have to do is not to be discovered by anyone, and go to the capital to join other alliance clans. The rest of the things are not allowed to be extravagant!"

"……Know it."

After being warned by Zhang Dasheng, Zhang Ersheng didn't dare to say anything.

I can only mumble one sentence:
"But this is too slow. Why don't we go straight away."

"Without a solid identity, if you are discovered, how can you withstand the investigation of those human spies!? Well, didn't you hear what Boss Xu said? The last time Yunwu traded goods at the end of the year was Luoyang. As long as you have this With a layer of identity, we can justifiably go there in the name of our clan relatives. When the time comes, we will settle down in Luoyang, wait patiently to lurk, and provide information. When the chaos of the human race arrives, we can take advantage of it and complete the revival. That's our mission. I know you want to hear that Taoist tell a story... But, listen carefully, you are not allowed to have any contact with him! Do you understand?!"

"……understood."

Zhang Ersheng nodded quickly, and at the same time glanced at Li Zhen.

Eyes full of regret.

It's a pity... I haven't finished hearing that story yet.

Nine heads and thirteen lives... I haven't heard a single one!
While talking like this, the two of them had already picked up a bundle of dead branches.

He returned directly to the guard team.

Not long after, the bonfire was lit, and the guards sat around eating together. The smell of the dried meat and soup wafted along the river, and the smell made many people drool.

And seven people in fur robes got off from several carriages, and they did not eat with the guards, but stretched their arms and legs.When the eyes fell on the ordinary people who were suffering, they were swept away like looking at the air.

Just like that, the sun in the sky slowly disappeared into the horizon.

Darkness comes.

A cold wind gradually picked up on the river.

The temperature started to plummet.

God, it's getting colder and colder.

Even in front of the bonfire, he still shivered after being blown by the wind like this.

The physical explanation is that the freezing of river water releases heat, which causes the temperature of the surrounding environment to drop.

However, this team did not leave, no one dared to move forward.

It takes courage to be the first to go at this time. After all, if the time is not enough and the river is not frozen solid, you will definitely not be able to get out after falling in.

No one wants to be that pathfinder without full assurance.

If possible, these people would prefer that the team go ahead, and then they follow along the rutted hoof prints, which is at least safer.

And that's how things are in this world.

If you think this way, others will naturally think the same way.

After waiting in the cold wind for a while, perhaps feeling that it was almost done, or perhaps anxious to cross the river, the old men in fur robes in the team recruited a few guards, and after saying a few words, the guards nodded , looking at the group of trembling common people.

"Shh!"

With the knife drawn out, more than [-] guards rode on the horse for a few breaths, and surrounded a large group of people on Li Zhen's side.

Among the crowd on both sides, the people on Li Zhen's side seemed to have more mules, horses, carts, and poles than those on the other side.

After being surrounded together, I heard several guards shouting:

"You guys, cross the river!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Suddenly, the faces of this group of people turned pale.

This... the sun has just set.

Just cross the river?
Where are these people willing?
But they didn't want to, and the group of guards didn't want to see them not moving.

Riding on the horse, several guards approached a few steps, and the knives in their hands were already pointed at the men who had given Li Zhen a bowl of cake soup during the day:

"Cross the river!"

"I...we..."

The faces of the men turned pale in an instant.

But at this moment, suddenly, a golden light burst out between the heaven and the earth.

A clear voice came from behind the crowd accompanied by golden light:

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun~ For the matter of crossing the river, the poor will come first."

Following the soft golden light, the group of people turned their heads and saw the young Taoist leading the horse, walking towards the river bank step by step.
