The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

After visiting Liao City, Guo Nuan and his team set off for the Leizhou Peninsula. After traveling from Chang'an for more than [-] days, five to six thousand miles, and after experiencing countless hardships of wind, food, camping and bumpy transportation, their destination is near. In front of my eyes.

Entering the Leizhou Peninsula, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides and backed by the mountains in the north, autumn is getting stronger at this moment, but the forests, trees and shrubs around the road are still green and luxuriant. If it is Chang'an in the northern Central Plains, I am afraid that the leaves on the branches of the trees in the city It has already withered and yellowed and fallen, and has become extremely bleak.

There is a cool breeze here, and there are dozens of miles of white sandy beaches in the distance, coupled with the vast and vast blue water, and a few sailboats are scattered on the water and sailing leisurely.Is there any land with a more pleasant scenery than here? Guo Nuan felt a little depressed after being relegated, but at this moment, he was a lot diluted by the beautiful sunshine island in front of him.

"Haha, we've finally arrived on the ground. People of Leizhou, come and welcome your new Lord Mushou!" Guo Nuan stood in the driver's seat of the wind-speeding carriage, with arms outstretched and voice ecstatically shouting, at this moment The carriage was leading to a post road in a county town. At the end of the straight bluestone road was the Leizhou city gate archway. The tall gate archway was written with three big characters "Haikang County".

However, Guo Nuanzheng was a little puzzled, why Guangzhou should have sent people to Leizhou to inform him why he was newly appointed today. Generally speaking, squires, merchants, landlords and rich people, and ordinary people, these people would put on lanterns and festoons, Standing in line at the city gate with beating gongs and drums waiting for the new Lord Mushou, why is the welcome team gone?The gate of the city is quiet, not to mention the pedestrians on the road, even the guards standing guard at the gate of the city are gone?It was like an empty city, dead silent.

Guo Nuan and the others suppressed their doubts and drove slowly into the city.Haikang County is the municipal center of Leizhou Peninsula.The city wall of the county seat is made of rammed earth, and there are shells of various colors exposed outside the wall. Leizhou people use local materials, making full use of the local red soil and shells picked up from the coast to build fortifications, like a city wall with a circumference of fifteen miles. , This is a shell wall, which is durable and environmentally friendly.

The four got out of the car and took the reins of the carriage on foot. In the bright daylight, they looked at the shops with closed doors on the street, and there was no pedestrian on the street.

"Master, do the people of Leizhou not welcome us?"

Ah Fu looked at the dead streets around him, and even whispered, and then he whispered to Guo Nuan who was walking beside him.

"What are you talking about? I'm not a notorious corrupt official. I wouldn't scare the whole city when I first took office." Guo Nuan scratched his head. He walked to the door of a steamed stuffed bun shop and knocked on the door of the shop. Wooden window: "Hi, is there anyone in there?"

Guo Nuan yelled loudly towards the crack of the window, then squatted down and leaned against the crack of the vertical wooden window. He carefully squinted his eyes and looked inside. Seeing that there was no movement, Guo Nuan raised his hand and knocked a few more times.

"Bang Dang", suddenly, the wooden window opened a crack from inside, revealing half of his face, it was a young boy.

"My lord, it seems that you are outsiders and don't know the situation in our county. Recently, a goblin woman riding a giant white leopard came. It is said that she came down from the Daxue Mountain in the northern plateau and can do witchcraft. It’s not safe to make trouble in the county town, now the streets are very unsafe, you should quickly find a place to hide, or if she finds out, she will be eaten by her big leopard.” The young man said tremblingly, his expression extremely excited Fear.

"Eh? Could it be that the officials of the county government can't subdue it?"

How could it be possible, the county government more than a dozen servants had the courage to carry knives the day before yesterday. Everyone wanted to drive away the witch, but they finally forced the witch to the central square of the county town. The woman waved her arm lightly, unexpectedly There was a gust of gloomy wind, and the officials fell unconscious in the square one after another. The common people hid in their homes and came out through the cracks in the doors. Everyone could see the scene clearly from the houses in the distance. "

The young man spoke in a serious manner, Guo Nuan and the others were curious and felt that the situation was not good.Yan Zhuang stepped forward to ask questions: "That woman will not come to the county for no reason to make trouble, right?"

The young man looked at Yan Zhuang through the window and nodded in agreement; "Yeah, how can I be so tossed by the witch? I have invited three groups of monks and priests who practice deeds. What can I say? Glutinous rice, rooster blood, dog blood, sleepy ghost lock, these monks hulala threw all the weapons and belongings for eating to the witch, the witch didn't care at all, she smiled charmingly, and then drove the snow leopard over, and the leopard sat and stretched. Take out a vajra iron claw, and this time, the Zen master's copper staff was chopped off in an instant, and all the monks and Taoists fled away like shit."

The young man smacked his mouth and sighed.He spoke incoherently, but spoke vigorously, and was so busy describing the scene of the fight vividly that he forgot to answer Yan Zhuang's words.

"Oh, by the way, she said she was looking for someone, an old man anyway, and said that he lied to her about something... She also said that it was in this city, and if she didn't hand it over, she would use a poisonous gu to kill someone. And keep her pet leopard well fed in town."

The young man slapped his head, and immediately recalled a detail: "This witch can't speak clearly, and she is also mysterious. Who knows what kind of old man she is looking for. Without further ado, she is driving a leopard as big as a yellow calf." It rushed around the city like a gust of wind, and everyone was scared to death."

It turned out that this was the case, and Guo Nuan and the others suddenly realized that they were saying goodbye to the young owner of the bun shop when they suddenly heard a howl of pain from the direction of the central square of the county town.

"What's going on?" The fat man looked around the street, touched here and there for a while, heard a scream, and clumsily knocked over a clay pot placed at the door of a tea house.

"Ah, you guys hide quickly, I'm afraid the witch is going to kill someone, today is the last day to hand over someone, if you don't let the damned old man get out, she said she's going to really kill someone." The young boss was startled suddenly, After urging Guo Nuan and the others outside the street, the boss told them to find a safe place to hide quickly, and then he closed the wooden window at the door of the store with a bang.

"Fatty, get your shovel weapon ready, take care to protect Mr. Yan and Ah Fu, let's go to the square to see what happened!"

While talking, there was another male wailing from the square a few streets away, this time it was even more mournful.Guo Nuan felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the fat man to protect everyone, then took out the bow and arrow from the carriage and carried the quiver on his back. Guo Nuan then rushed to the square with the other three people.

"Goddess, please forgive me! We really don't know who you are looking for."

In the empty square, there was a row of yamen servants kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy. Their armor and weapons had already been scattered and discarded. In front of them was a woman in red riding a giant snow leopard, condescendingly using a pair of She looked down with seductive and cold eyes, but a dangerous smile appeared on the corners of her red lips, and she was holding a bundle of long whips in her hand.

And the snow leopard under her is covered with fine and soft white fur, and there are some black spots of copper coins. The corners of its mouth opened slightly, revealing a pair of sharp fangs, and it roared in a low voice from time to time. As long as the woman gave an order, the big leopard would immediately rush forward and bite the servants to death.

"You are the most dishonest guy, you dare to quibble!" The woman seemed a little impatient, and then waved the nine-section soft whip in her hand, and swung it down in the air. The strength of the steel whip was very steady, and she swung the whip gracefully in the air After a circle, there was only a whistling sound, and although the finger-thick whip did not have a sharp blade like a steel knife, it hit the yamen servant who was crying for mercy with a snap, and screamed again.

"Hmph, I only used three points of strength, otherwise you would have been turned into a pig's head by the steel whip. Now I will give you one last chance. If you don't hand over people to me, you will all die." The woman finally got off ultimatum.

"Master Goddess, please forgive me..." When the distressed government servants reached a critical moment, they all became disoriented and sweaty. They really didn't know what to do except to say forgiveness.

"Bai Ling, bite them to death!" The woman's face turned cold in an instant on her beautiful face full of captivating smiles, and she ordered the leopard.

"Roar--!"

The snow leopard opened its fangs, revealing a ferocious maw, and was about to pounce forward swiftly.

"stop!"

"Swipe!" Guo Nuan, who was more than 100 yards away, immediately fired three sharp arrows, instantly blocking the leopard's jumping path, and three Mitsubishi arrows pierced towards the leopard's snow-white body.With sharp eyes and quick hands, the woman swung her long whip and sent the arrow flying.

"Who are you! Why are you meddling in my business? I'm so impatient." A cold and arrogant voice came immediately.

"I'm Guo Nuan, the new Leizhou shepherd guard. You're beating my people and yamen servants. Why can't you control me?" Make a bold statement.

"Oh, it turns out that there are a few more to be buried with you." The woman narrowed her delicate eyes, with a flash of killing intent.
