Chapter 327 Blocking the Way
The carriage was getting closer and closer, and the city gate could be vaguely seen.The city gate stands there like two pieces of rusty copper and iron, showing mottled appearance.At this time, the gate of the city was slightly closed, leaving a crack in the middle for one person to turn sideways, without making a sound.The carriage stopped in front of the city gate, as if it had arrived at a dead city, and there was not even a single official guarding the gate.

Jun Qianji jumped out of the carriage, stood in front of the iron gate for a while, and then reached out to push the city gate.The city gate was not locked, and he pushed it open with his hand.

There was a wind blowing out of the city, and there was an obvious corrosive smell in the air, which was disgusting.There was no one on the streets in the city, and the houses on both sides piled up one after another under the twilight, leaving behind blue shadows.The whole feeling is gloomy.

Feng Shijin couldn't help but feel a little colder again.

Jun Qianji came back, led the horse, and slowly walked inside with a person and a rabbit.

Feng Shijin thought, as long as he walked through the streets of this town and walked south, he would be fine after leaving Tongxu Town.So she wanted to leave this place quickly, and said to Jun Qianji: "Why don't you come up and drive the horse to run faster, so that we can also go faster."

Suijun Qianji jumped into the carriage again and drove the horse to a trot.

After running this street and turning to another street, the sky had already darkened, and faint lights could be seen faintly on the street.Under the light, the wind blew the white paper lanterns and yellow paper money all over the street everywhere.In the night, there were heart-piercing cries from time to time.

It turns out that this is not a dead city, it is better than a dead city.

Jun Qianji glanced sideways at Feng Shijin, and said with concern: "Go and sit in the carriage, I'll call you when I get out of town."

Feng Shijin shook his head: "No, I'm not afraid." If she were to sit alone in the closed space and it was so dark, it would be really scary... In comparison, staying with Jun Qianji would be more at ease .

In order to distract himself, Feng Shijin expressed his plan and said, "When we get out of town, shall we write a letter to the capital?"

"To whom? To the second prince?"

Feng Shijin nodded, and said: "Tell him the situation in Huainan, we have done our best. For him, it is undoubtedly not a big opportunity. He will definitely do his best to deal with the disaster in Huainan to win the hearts of the people."

Jun Qianji pondered, this is the best way to solve the disaster in Huainan, but he said: "The news in Huainan is so tightly blocked, how can you guarantee that the letter will not be detained?"

Feng Shijin was already thinking about it, and said: "It depends on whether the second prince is smart enough." If this matter can be done, it means that he has done Su Zhengqin a big favor invisibly.

She looked at Jun Qianji, and said again: "I remember you once said that I would not be allowed to get involved. The current situation is special and it concerns the life and death of the people in Huainan, so this time it shouldn't be counted."

Jun Qianji said indifferently: "Forget it, anyway, this is the last time."

Although Jun Qianji has always asked, no one should get involved between the crown prince and the second prince.But after going through so much, they still favor the second prince invisibly.

With a smile on the corner of Feng Shijin's mouth, he said: "I hope that the second prince can fight all the heroes and finally get what he wants."

Jun Qianji was not surprised, and only slightly raised the end of his voice: "You want to be the second prince?"

Feng Shijin tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "If you can only choose between the crown prince and the second prince, I hope it will be the second prince." For the prince, he is a strong competitor.

She couldn't help thinking, what would it be like for such a person to sit on the throne one day?

The ruts rolled over the white paper lanterns on the ground, and the lights flickered, accompanied by cries from far and near, which was very distressing.I thought that just walking through the street like this, not to provoke anything, they would soon pass through this dead and gloomy town and head south.

Unexpectedly, the carriage was moving forward in an even and stable manner, but suddenly a black figure jumped out from the front, frightening Feng Shijin's heart, Jun Qianji raised his hand and pulled the rein forcefully, the horse was also startled, and let out a fright. The front hooves neighed.

Feng Shijin fell backwards, and his back hit the wooden edge of the car, making him dizzy.

When Jun Qianji was still the national teacher, although she often did some things with Jun Qianji to exorcise ghosts and demons, she knew in her heart that there was no theory of ghosts and gods.But now that the black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, Feng Shijin was almost shaken, he really thought he saw a ghost.

She grabbed Jun Qianji's sleeve corner and said tightly, "What, what's going on?"

Less than three feet directly in front of the horse, there was still a black figure lying there, the light was too dim to see clearly.Jun Qianji was still relatively calm, and said: "There should be someone blocking the way."

Feng Shijin took a closer look, the black clothes on the ground moved, and then struggled to get up.Probably because of his long hair covering his face, he raised his head and still couldn't see the outline, but he stretched out his withered hands and grabbed the horse's rein, clearly more infiltrating than a ghost, how could he human appearance.Before he could speak, he broke out in a wailing cry.

Feng Shijin was terrified when he heard it, but he also calmed down a little.She was indeed a living person, and she was still a woman. There was deep despair in her crying, as if endless hope burst forth because of the arrival of Feng Shijin and Jun Qianji.

The woman cried, "Someone's coming at last—someone's coming at last! Come on, come out, you all! Someone's coming! Someone's coming to save us!"

Following her cry, there was movement in the houses on both sides of the street.Immediately, the doors opened one after another, and someone inside held a dim oil lamp, and slowly walked out like a zombie.The eyes they looked at Jun Qianji and Feng Shijin lit up, as if they saw the dawn of tomorrow.

These people were all as skinny as sticks, and their eyes were deeply sunken, still shining brightly.Feng Shijin was surrounded by so many pairs of eyes, he felt breathless.Probably the shock has far outweighed the fear.

The woman standing in front of the carriage plopped and knelt down, crying and saying: "Good-hearted people, living gods, please save us, please save us! My child... my child is almost gone. , can you save him...save my child..."

Jun Qianji and Feng Shijin sat in the carriage and did not agree, nor did they drive away in the carriage.Both of them were silent.

The woman didn't hear their rejection, and with boundless hope, she got up quickly and rushed into the room, and in the blink of an eye, a boy was brought out, and the boy was already asleep in her arms, gasping like a gossamer. .

She knelt down in front of the carriage again, put the boy gently beside her, then bent over and kowtowed, his forehead knocked on the ground with a thumping sound, and said, "I beg you to save my child... ...Save my child...he is dying...I will repay you as a cow and a horse..."
