Chapter 62
Early the next morning, Li Qingniu, who was still asleep, was woken up by the sound of the carriage leaving. When he saw a bag of wedding candies beside him, he knew that Xiao Anzi had returned as promised. He picked one and tasted it, it was indeed very sweet.

"This wedding candy is sweet!"

Xiao Anzi also said through the car curtain: "Xiao Niu, thank you! Your money has helped me a lot, and I will pay you back when I finish my wages!"

"Brother An, I said it was a congratulatory gift, and I will get angry if you say that again!"

"Okay, Xiao Niu, I recognize you brother, we will be able to go to the county town this evening, and I will treat you to a drink then, which can be regarded as a wedding wine."

Li Qingniu smiled and said: "Brother An, I want to drive the carriage today, okay?"

Xiao Anzi didn't understand it at first, so he replied: "Forget about your skills, I handed it to you a few times before and almost turned over!"

"It's different today. In this way, I only have to catch one morning. Besides, the road from here to the county is flat, and I follow the convoy. It's no problem."

Having said this, Xiao Anzi finally understood, it was because he thought that he hadn't slept all night.

"Thank you, Maverick! You've changed."

"Oh? Why do you also say that I have changed?"

"Because you have become more careful and considerate, in short, it has changed for the better."

"Hahaha, Brother An, I'm still me, Li Qingniu, maybe I've grown up."

Li Qingniu succeeded Xiao Anzi in driving the carriage and set off towards the county town.

Because of Linjun City, the official road gradually became lively. Business travelers traveling north and south, dignitaries riding horses and sedan chairs, and passers-by carrying carts came and went in an endless stream.

There is a pavilion every fifteen miles on both sides of the official road, and more than ten soldiers are stationed inside.After inquiring from Lao Shen, Li Qingniu found out that this is the post pavilion, and there are pavilions every fifteen miles, which can be regarded as the warning line of Guimen County.

In the evening, Li Qingniu was a little tired after driving the car all morning, so he leaned on the pile of books, squinted his eyes, and felt the cool evening breeze in the early autumn of Guimen County.When approaching the west gate of Guimen County, there was a burst of excitement and exclamations.

"Look, look, that red cloud is amazing!"

"Come on, come on, that sunset is so spectacular!"

"Hey, do you think this red cloud is related to the great flood near the gate of hell a few days ago!"

"I think it's possible!"

"Tsk tsk, I don't think so, this red cloud looks auspicious."

Following everyone's exclamation and discussion, many people gathered at the west gate and the basement of the entire Guimen County, and the caravan could not leave for the time being.Li Qingniu heard everyone's discussion, got out of the car, stood on the rut and looked west.

Over the endless plain in the west, there is a sunset glow across the sky, with colorful streamers rolling towards the sky above the county town, so gorgeous and colorful.Not long after, several groups of red clouds changed and gathered into a giant dragon, which was very auspicious.

Just as a group of people gathered to discuss, a group of soldiers lined up above the city gate, and the crowd of onlookers gave way one after another.A middle-aged man in a python robe, a jade crown on his head, and a golden-scaled sword across his waist, surrounded by a group of people, climbed onto the tower, looking up at the vision in the sky.Next to him, a white-faced man stood closer, with a feather fan and scarf, with an elegant demeanor.

Li Qingniu in front of the city gate didn't pay attention to the people at the beginning, he only heard the people standing beside him exclaim: "Look, even the city lord has come! It seems that this sunset is really not easy!" Only then did he turn his head and take a look, There was nothing special about him, but he was very surprised by the "dragon robe" on his body. After thinking about it later, he realized that the "dragon" on this person had no horns, so it should be the legendary python robe.

The city lord watched the change of the dragon and the red cloud in the sky from the tower, without looking back, he asked, "Sir, is there any explanation for this phenomenon?"

The white-faced man beside him shook his feather fan lightly, looked ahead and replied: "I have read it in the book, the red cloud hanging on the dragon, and the colorful ones have gods! Maybe there are gods passing by."

The city lord smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The floods and dragons chanted before, and now there are gods passing by. It seems that my ghost county is also lively. I just don't know if there will be another disaster this time."

"Don't worry about the city lord, this is a good omen."

"Well! Forget it, let's go back."

When the city lord turned his head back, he suddenly had a feeling and looked down the city, only to see a man in the crowd wearing silver armor and holding a spear, with a calm demeanor and a restrained aura, his heart moved slightly: "It turned out to be a seventh-rank warrior, look at his aura The machine seems to have just broken through. What a young talent!"

Immediately, he whispered a few words to the people around him, and led them down the tower.

After a while, the red clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and the crowds also dispersed one after another, and the caravan was able to pass.

Before arriving at the customs, the master Pushan went to negotiate with the tax officials with the paperwork and contract, and there were other soldiers checking the cars one by one.

The sergeant Li Qingniu saw half a load of books and asked, "What do you do with these books? You have to pay taxes for selling books too!"

Li Qingniu never thought that if there were too many books, he would have to pay taxes, so he followed the way of greeting in the book to answer.

"My lord, I read these books myself, and they are not for sale."

The middle-aged sergeant looked Li Qingniu up and down, saw that the boy in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was calm and confident in his conversation, and he was not sure, so he wondered, "You are a scholar? You are a student of Pingshan Academy."

"Don't dare to hide it, my lord. This time I came to the county to study, and I haven't entered the academy yet."

"Well, I respect scholars the most. Since I read it by myself, let's pass!"

"Thank you!"

The caravan took care of Master Pushan and finally entered the city gate after paying the taxes.

I saw that the main road of the county city is about nine feet wide, and it is paved with huge bluestones. Although it has not been smooth for a long time, it is as smooth as jade and glows with green light.There are many restaurants, inns, and shops on both sides, and it coincides with the meal time. All kinds of food stalls, noodle restaurants and restaurants on the street are crowded, so it is very lively.

Everyone was discussing the Hongyun just now, while enjoying all kinds of delicacies, but in the dark corners and alleys, Li Qingniu still found many beggars with disabled hands and feet, or covered with sores, or naked.Some of them even leaned against the corner of the wall, their faces were yellow and emaciated, and their expressions were sluggish, as if the bustle and glory a few steps away had nothing to do with them.

"Between light and shadow, there are actually two worlds!"

After Li Qingniu sighed, he put down the car curtain, as if feeling something.Thinking in my heart, if I become the sheriff of this side, how can I make the two worlds into one world?

well!It's really worrying, if I don't have a second dad, I'm afraid I'm not as good as these people in this Guimen County.Along the way, I have seen too much life and death, seen many injustices, and experienced many strange things. It is difficult to explain clearly or understand clearly.

"Cuckoo"

The hunger in his stomach brought Li Qingniu back to reality from his illusory perception, and he was about to ask if he had a place to live.Xiao Anzi stopped the carriageway: "Xiao Niu, here we are. After I park the car, make an appointment with Lao Shen, and let's have a drink together."

"Alright!"

 Fuling's heart is here!Please pay attention to favorite recommendation!
