Chapter 13 Firecrackers and Bloodlines

Shu Yan took a closer look and found that it was a shiny black gun.

Cheng San put the firecracker back into his arms, looked around, and saw that the pursuers hadn't arrived, so he lowered his head and started to search. After the search, he took Shu Yan and the two children and hurried away.

They walked for a long time, and didn't stop until they could no longer see the soldier's body.

Shu Yan panted and asked Cheng San.

"Who are you? Firearms are not owned by ordinary people."

What Shu Yan said is correct, firearms are important weapons in the imperial court, and they are often used to fight against foreign enemies, especially the nomadic peoples in the northwest border.

And because the process is particularly complicated, the number is limited.

Cheng San smiled.

Cheng San: "I didn't even ask Godmother about your identity, but you actually asked me. You are too bullying. I am just an ordinary person."

Shu Yan naturally didn't believe it, if this guy was an ordinary person, he would be a ghost.

But Cheng San emphasized it again and again.

Cheng San: "I'm just an ordinary person. My parents work in agriculture, but I'm so talented that my godmother thinks I'm not an ordinary person."

Shu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she really wanted to hit someone.

But in ancient times, many emperors were born with mud legs. Although Cheng San was extremely smart, why couldn't he be a mud leg? He had to be given a noble title in order to be the godson of the old matriarch.

Shu Yan couldn't help feeling a little emotional, he hadn't been in the feudal system yet, but he had subtly recognized it.

Shu Yan was tired from walking, so Cheng San carried her onto the donkey. She was an old woman sitting on the donkey, her posture was the same as that of a young daughter-in-law returning to her natal family.

Shu Yan sat down for a while and then she let the drowsy little fish fall asleep on the donkey.

On the other hand, Yu'an walked seriously, frowning, as if thinking about something.

Shu Yan couldn't help pinching the child's hand, and said with concern: "Why are you thinking so much?"

Yu'an looked at Shu Yan and Cheng San.

"I was thinking, that rebel general, what is he doing here?"

Cheng San clenched the dagger in his hand and said quietly.

"Presumably this general was excluded in the Han army, and he was always asked to do this kind of thankless work."

Mostly it is artificially creating floods, and then sweeping behind enemy lines to search for the people's fat and anointing.

The reputation of this little general is really bad.

Long Yun came on horseback, and he saw two corpses from a distance. Long Yun got off the horse neatly, and saw the muzzle left by the firearm on the chest of the deceased.

Long Yun frowned suddenly.

"People from the imperial court? Could it be that Su Hu's is nearby."

Long Yun thought for a moment, then got on his horse, and beside him was the old man, who was wearing a heavy onyx, obviously a family member had passed away.

The old man: "The imperial army will definitely not stay here for a long time. I heard that the plague has already broken out in Yingzhou. Although it is still in the early stage, it is hard to guarantee that it will not become a major plague in Tianbao years. By then, Jiangnan will fight as much as it wants. I can't get up."

Long Yun: "So what does the military division mean?"

The old man: "Search for a few days. If we can't find it, we will quickly search for supplies and rush back to the capital. After all, guarding the capital is a big deal."

Long Yun nodded, the sound of horseshoes went away, and a group of troops gradually disappeared into the distance.

This is the direction that Shu Yan and others are heading.

Shu Yan and the others walked for a few days, and gradually realized that something was wrong. Although they had already discovered the plague during the few days in Huang County, they never expected it to be so serious.

They passed by the village next to the official road, and many people had left their fields and started running.

At this time, it is the season for harvesting spring rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but no one harvests the large rice fields.

Shu Yan couldn't help being a little worried.

Military disasters, floods, and plagues, the next step will definitely be famine, and they will really want to flee the famine.
