Chapter 310

The way back is easier than the way back.

At least there were no Blood Moon Eagles blocking the way.

"Old Ren, where is this Prairie Eagle now?" Lei Er missed his old opponent a little bit.

Ren Ning remained silent.

The two of them have been together, Lei Er didn't know that Ren Ning naturally couldn't tell.

But some people do, like Brontosaurus.

When passing by the trapped dragon's nest, Ren Ning soon saw Thunder Dragon again.

"My lord," he brought a few guards down from the mountain.

Lei Long was both surprised and happy, "You are finally back!"

Ren Ning looked around, "Long time no see, how is it going here?"

Thunder Dragon lifted his spirits, "It's okay. Since I fought off the Blood Moon Eagle with my lord last time, it can be said that the post road has always been in our hands..."

The two chatted about the recent situation in detail.As he spoke, Thunder Dragon couldn't help but look towards the lofty mountains to the north.

"My lord..." He hesitated to speak.

Now the east-west post road under the feet is almost no longer guarded.However, the Yangguan Ancient Road in the north is still besieged by heavy soldiers from Xiliang, and he wants to lead a team to help Xia Bangwei.

It's just that the large group of people want to go to Yangguan Ancient Road from here, and there are usually only two roads.

One is to go around to Dingxi and go north; the other is to go around to Laigu and then go north.

No matter which one, Lei Long, a little boss, can not make a decision in private.

Before Ren Ning could speak, Lei Er haha ​​came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"My brother, I haven't seen you for almost a year without knowing it. How did you become so sloppy. You don't even want to shave your beard?"

Lei Long is also a wonderful person, when he sees Lei Er crossing, he understands what the other party means.

Although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to make things difficult, so he had to add some horse rations to Ren Ning and the two, and waved goodbye.

The two continued to travel east, and stopped by the King Kong Village by the way.

They were stopped before reaching the gate of the village, and two guards stared at them vigilantly.

"Stop, who are you?"

Lei Er raised his hand to show that he had no malice, "My name is Lei Er, and we are here to find Niu Shusheng. Is he still in the village?"

"Do you know Big Brother Niu?" The two were dubious, and hurried back to call for someone.

Not long after, Niu Shusheng rushed over, and when he saw that it was Ren Ning, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Two generals, it's you, come in quickly."

After entering the stockade, Ren Ning looked around.

The original robber's den has been completely transformed into a vibrant village, surrounded by green grain and vegetables.There are old and young in the stockade, and there are even poultry and livestock running around.

Pole!
Lei Er stepped on the chicken feces, but laughed out loud.

"It's been a long time since I stepped on such soft chicken shit. I really miss it."

The people who fought together in Kunlongpo before heard that they were coming, and they all ran out to welcome them.

Some women even grabbed the chickens and ducks unceremoniously, and were about to kill and entertain the two.

"You don't need to be busy." Ren Ning hurriedly stopped, "We just stopped by to see you. As long as everyone is doing well, we will be very happy."

"How can this be done?" Niu Shusheng held them tight.

"We haven't read the book, so we can't tell the truth. But everyone knows in their hearts that the lives of everyone here were saved by the two generals."

"We don't have much ability, and we can't do much. Since the general is here, we will stay for a meal. Although the taste may not be good, it is also a wish from everyone."

Ren Ning looked at the sky, "Okay. Then let's try the crafts of your aunts and sisters."

The villagers dispersed happily.

After a while, every household took some things out and got together.

Lei Er hurriedly stopped: "Fellow folks, we have to hurry after dinner, so don't spend too much money."

However, no one listened to him at all, and everyone was cooking in full swing, as if they were going to have a big meal.

Since they couldn't be persuaded, the two had no choice but to do whatever they wanted.

"Shu Sheng," Ren Ning asked, "is the land outside the mountain now in the hands of the villagers?"

"This..." Niu Shusheng hesitated for a while.

After a long while, he hesitated to speak.

"I don't hide it from the general. At the beginning, the imperial court did divide the land as the general said. But all the divisions were in the ditches and corners of the mountains and pits."

"The real good land has been seized, and the people have to rent it if they want to grow it. The rent is even higher than before the civil unrest."

He pointed to the stockade in front of him.

"Although this village is remote and sparsely populated, the surrounding forests are full of poisonous insects and beasts. But everyone doesn't want to go down the mountain and plans to live here forever."

"At least the things grown here are our own. Eat more when the harvest is good, and eat less when the harvest is not good."

"As for what's going to happen outside. We don't want to know."

After eating, the two went down the mountain under the farewell of everyone in the village, and continued on their way.

Ugh!
As he walked, Lei Er let out a long sigh.

"Knock down one batch and then another batch, and it goes on and on again and again. The common people just want to live a comfortable life, so why is it so difficult?"

Ren Ning didn't make a sound, and hurried on his way in silence.

The post road was relatively smooth, and within a few days, the two entered Misty County.

The sky in Misty County is still gray, but the post road under his feet is much better than when he sent the spirit back to his hometown.

After walking for a long time, you can see many people doing corvee.

They transported a whole piece of big stones from afar, and worked hard to fill them into the roadbed of the post road.

咣 咣 咣!
There was a continuous and dull sound of heavy smashing in front of him.

Ren Ning and the two drove forward curiously, and they couldn't help being stunned when they saw clearly what was ahead.

In front were several Renning-style cranes, which were hoisting heavy stone plates and pounding them onto the post road to compact the road surface.

It was already mid-May, and Misty County was slowly getting hotter.

The two went all the way east, and found that these common people in corvee were treated well.

There are drinking water points, porridge points, and rest places every few miles, and there are even doctors guarding them.

Lei Er was very moved, "I don't know whether the person in charge of building this post road is the Ministry of Industry, or the new Miwu County Sheriff?"

At least treat the people as human beings.

"It should be the Ministry of Industry." Ren Ning guessed.

Luo Ken had to think for his grandson Chen Xiuzhu as well.

Furthermore, the four counties in the west had just been pacified, and Emperor Changxing's gaze had been fixed on this place.Who dares to cheat at this time?
When they arrived in Wuliang City, the two entered Yunlai Tavern and took a private seat on the second floor.

The waiter quickly wiped the tables and chairs.

"You two guest officers, you just passed by. The Ministry of Works did not repair this Xiangyi Road."

He pointed to the east.

"The north-south post road leading to Qingshi County was sent by the Ministry of Industry to build it. The east-west post road outside was renovated by the newly appointed county guard."

Xiaoer shook his head tut-tsk, "This sheriff...it seems that every tael of money issued by the court is used to build roads, which is a lot of money."

Lei Er nodded.

It really cost a lot of money. Except for the heavy lifting by the crane, the entire post road was almost paved with thick stones.

"The new sheriff?"

He took out a piece of silver, "It seems that the sheriff is a practical person, I wonder if the second brother knows his name?"

The waiter's eyes lit up, "Guest officer, you are asking the right person. Who in Wuliang City doesn't know that the waiter in the shop is a famous know-it-all..."

He blew for a while, and when he saw Ren Ning's dissatisfaction on their faces, he stopped in embarrassment.

"Two guest officials, the new governor's surname is Ren Dan and his name is Jie. I heard that Master Ren used to work in Jinghu County."

Ren Jie?

Lei Er had a strange expression on his face.

He glanced at Ren Ning on the opposite side.

Isn't this Ren Ning's nominal father?
"Understood!" He threw the broken silver to the waiter, "Hurry up and serve us your signature dishes. If the taste is good, silver is absolutely indispensable."

"Yes, yes, yes!" the waiter walked away excitedly.
