Fantasy: Immortality starts with absorbing demons
Chapter 292: Choice (Part 2)
only......
Han Yi is still a little unsure in his heart, is this really the best choice...
It's just that he has no better choice now...
The carriage drove on the gray-yellow official road. There were uneven potholes from time to time along the way, one in the east and one in the west, making a "pop, pop, pop" vibration.
The sun gradually sets, leaving only a little tail behind.
The crow croaked and fluttered its wings, as if frightened by the sound of the wheels turning. A few black feathers fell slowly from the sky, and the sunlight hit them, like a disaster falling from the sky.
To the west, the blood-red setting sun shone on the slowly advancing motorcade, stretching the shadows of the cars like figures of people fleeing to avoid disaster.
--------------------------------------------------
Southeast of Anyan City, thirty miles away, is the official road.
Late at night, the moonlight is like a gauze, and the sickle-like moon hangs quietly in the sky, as if it is covered with a layer of haze and blurred.
Near the official road, a circle of carriages was coiled in a protective ring. On the outside of the carriage were some servants who repaired wheels and fed the horses. In the middle, there was a bright bonfire.
Crackling!
There were two shelves on the fire. On the shelves were dozens of signatures covered with pieces of meat. The golden and translucent grease dripped from the signatures into the flames, causing the flames to make a crackling sound.
"I didn't expect Brother Han to have such skills!" Beside the fire, the hill-like Fatty Zheng held a stick in his hand and his mouth was full of oil.
He was originally a man who loved eating as much as he could, and he boasted of eating all kinds of delicacies from all over the world.
But Han Yi's barbecue meat skewers conquered him instantly and even made him fall in love with talents.
Since they had to live together for a long time, Han Yi simply gave up the pseudonym of Yu Wensheng and returned to his real name.
Anyway, Han Yi and Fatty Zheng are now on the same boat. There is nothing to hide about their names. Being honest will only increase mutual trust.
"When a person lives alone for a long time, he will always develop some special skills. At least he has to eat better..." His expression was as usual, he flipped the food quickly with his left hand, and sprinkled the secret spices carefully with his right hand.
A rich aroma of barbecue, plus the smell of roasted spices, hits your nostrils.
The scent caused a commotion in the surroundings. Many servants outside the carriage swallowed secretly. There were even a few carriages that secretly opened a gap in the curtains to observe secretly.
Most of the people in the carriage were women. They all ate in the carriage and it was inconvenient to get out of the carriage.
"That's right, brother Han Yi, you are really a fellow man!!!" Fatty Zheng let out a deafening laugh and stuffed his mouth wildly.
Han Yi and his party started out in the evening and walked only a dozen miles until late at night.
At night, people were tired and horses were exhausted, and the boats and vehicles were exhausted. In addition, the road was completely dark at night, making it difficult to see the road clearly, so we had to stop and rest.
Although I didn't encounter any trouble during this section of the journey, such as bandits, robbers and other bloody things.
But Han Yi still felt a little impatient...
It's too slow!
Along the way, either this concubine needed to go to the toilet, or the other concubine was feeling depressed and wanted to get out of the car to ventilate. Even Fatty Zheng had to stop to eat from time to time.
In just a short time, from evening to night, including this meal, it was the third meal of the day.
"Fat Zheng, if you are such a grinder, when can you get to Fucheng?" Han Yi asked impatiently.
"Oh, this is too slow. I have eaten a lot less in order to rush on the road. I used to eat at least eight meals a day, but today I only eat five meals a day!" Fatty Zheng complained and started crying. Qu Lai.
"It's too slow. If you delay like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach Fucheng in a year!"
Han Yi was not polite. Anyan City was not close to Fucheng, at least a thousand miles away.
Although life in this carriage is good, with delicious food, good food, good food, and plenty of monster meat resources, if we really go on traveling at this rate every day, I’m afraid we won’t be the monsters in the carriage when we get to Fucheng. The flesh of the animals was rotten and stinky.
"Brother Han, don't be anxious. You need to know that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" After Fatty Zheng had eaten and drank, he picked up the fruit peeled by his concubine in the fifth room and laughed. "Wait until you pass this official road." , after arriving at Nanhuze, we boarded the boat and it was almost done.”
"Nan Huze?"
"Yes, the water system here is intricate and stretches for hundreds of miles. It is the most troublesome part of the journey. As long as you pass through Nanhu Ze, the rest is just to climb a few mountains and pass by a few monster beasts' lairs... ..”
Fatty Zheng ate the juicy fruit and opened his mouth to explain.
"Trouble? Tell me more specifically?" Han Yi asked.
"Well..." Fatty Zheng pondered for a while, "The water system of Nanhu Lake is huge, with undulating water and unstable waves. In addition, there are many water thieves and bandits in it. From time to time, there will be reports of water thieves committing evil acts... .”
"But don't worry, Brother Han, I have already arranged for the rescue team on the shore, so you can rest easy when the time comes!"
Fatty Zheng looked at the solemn expression on Han Yi's face and laughed.
Before arriving at Nanhuze, it was still within the jurisdiction of the imperial court. There were still official road stations and so on, and there was still some order.
What is really difficult to deal with is the uninhabited mountains and the territory of ferocious beasts after passing through Nanhu Lake...
Those places are completely beyond the jurisdiction of the court. There are robberies and murders, man-eating monsters, and some uncivilized barbarians... That is the most dangerous place, and it is also an important reason why Fatty Zheng invited Han Yi.
But Fatty Zheng did not mention these places at all. He just downplayed them and passed them over...
"That's good..." Han Yi said slowly.
........
Perhaps what Han Yi said worked, or maybe Fatty Zheng ate a few meals less. In the following days, the speed of the convoy increased significantly.
A few days later, Nanhu Ze.
From a distance, it was an endless lake, with ships coming and going in the harbor and water birds gliding on the pier. However, this picture looked beautiful from a distance, but once you got close...
"Why is it so smelly?!"
"You stepped on chicken shit, how can it not smell?"
"Damn, bad luck..."
The smell of sweat from the crowded crowd, the smell of hair from chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, and even a faint smell of rotting vegetables and fruits.
This smell was extremely strong even through the thick carriage curtain.
Han Yi frowned and opened the curtain.
Outside the window, there was a dense crowd of people, all of whom were carrying large and small bags, and looked like they had brought all their belongings.
"They are all people fleeing..." He sighed.
The demonic disaster in Anyan City was still expanding, and the people around were naturally panicked, and moved to a safe area with their families.
In the eyes of most people, the prefectural city is perhaps the best choice.
"Pingzhou Prefecture..." He silently said the name in his heart.
Through the exchanges with Fatty Zheng in the past few days, he also roughly outlined the appearance of Pingzhou Prefecture in his mind, and also learned about his origin and power.
There are a total of 19 cities in Pingzhou, and Pingzhou Prefecture is the largest one.
As a prefectural city, Pingzhou Prefecture has a large population and prosperous industries, and the forces are also mixed.
The largest force among them is similar to Anyan City, which is dominated by the court. The Pingzhou Army has always been known for its reputation of "fast as wind and plundering like fire", which is the Dinghai magic needle of Pingzhou.
In the Pingzhou Army, even the most ordinary soldier must be a bone-refining expert who has trained his blood and qi and has a solid skin and bones!
A blood-refining warrior can only be a small captain, a centurion, or a position like that. For higher positions, such as lieutenants and thousand-man captains, they must be martial artists who have been famous for many years.
As for the commander, it is not always possible to select based on strength alone. It also depends on the ability to command and lead troops in battle. Positions such as commanders are appointed by the court, but their own strength must be at least a great martial arts master. And the general who leads the Pingzhou army must be a master!
As for the court, it is the power of the sect. There is a force called Dongshan Society in Pingzhou Prefecture, which commands all kinds of small forces in the prefecture.
After that, it is the hunting monster alliance, which is also the power behind Han Pangzi.
Daxuan has a vast area, and there are too many monsters in the mountains and fields. They are too hidden and reproduce very quickly. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to dispatch the court army or even special people to kill them, and the effect is not ideal. There are also spontaneously organized monster hunting forces among the people. Therefore, the hunting monster alliance came into being.
The hunting monster alliance is actually equivalent to the court offering a reward. Anyone with ability can go to hunt monsters in exchange for rewards.
The remaining forces, such as the Yishifang and Wumeng, are mostly part of the imperial court. They are not considered independent entities, so they are not listed separately.
"In short, it seems that Pingzhou Prefecture is like a larger version of Anyan City..." Han Yi sat in the carriage and thought seriously.
Behind the Dongshan Society and the Demon Hunting League, there is a shadow of imperial support, so in general, the entire Pingzhou Prefecture is firmly under the control of the Daxuan court.
"My lord... get off the car..." A servant outside the carriage whispered a reminder.
"Yes." Han Yi responded casually and got off the car.
On the surging lake, a huge black ship nearly 20 meters long was constantly floating in the wind.
At this time, Fatty Zheng and a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, holding a harpoon, who looked like a ship captain, were arguing about something.
"Old Yang, you are so unkind." Fatty Zheng was full of anger, "I paid a lot of money to get off your boat, how dare you pick up passengers in the middle of the journey just to make a few cents?"
"Brother Zheng... You can't blame me for this..." The captain of the boat was missing a big front tooth, and his words were a little leaky: "The main thing is that those people gave too much!"
"What?" Fatty Zheng was even more furious, "How much money did you give me, I, Fatty Zheng, will give you three times the price!"
Who dares to pretend to be rich in front of him? Fatty Zheng, the last thing he lacks is money!
