Soul echo

Chapter 588 Arriving in Anyang
"What do you think?"

The catcher stood in the yard with his waist knife and looked around. When he heard a voice from around him, he turned his head to look.

A clerk walked up to the arrester, raised his head, and looked at the broken roofs of the surrounding houses and the bricks and tiles all over the floor. Even though he had never learned any combat skills, seeing these dilapidated objects made him feel ashamed. To the horrors that have ever happened to this place.

"Master."

The policeman said with a serious face: "It is estimated that the innate master who opened the 'Shenfu' and awakened the spiritual consciousness. Looking at these things, you don't need to ask. There should have been a few people standing on the roof, and then the master directly used Spiritual consciousness swept them down—you can tell by looking carefully at the rubble on the ground that some tiles were crushed after those people fell."

The civil servant followed the catcher around the yard and saw the scene as the catcher described.

"Then, based on the descriptions of the villagers in the Zhuangzi and the footprints we saw outside the Zhuangzi, we can know that the master is good at light kungfu."

Speaking of this, the policeman paused for a moment, and said again: "Imagine that a person can run five miles in one minute, or even more than five miles. What do you think of that person?"

After he finished speaking, he was afraid that the civil servants would not understand, so he explained: "By the way, the running speed of a relatively strong civilian is about one mile per minute. A weak person like you probably can't reach this speed. I'm about two miles away."

The civil servant couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although the arrester in front of him is not the most powerful in the Jinmen government, he is still the top few, and the more powerful ones are in the army.

However, even the top combat power of the yamen is not half as good as that 'master'?
"That master must be innate, and may even be superior to innate."

The policeman took a deep breath, turned his head and asked, "At that time, what you saw was a man who was seven feet tall?"

At this time, they had already left the Wang family compound and came outside.

The civil official nodded in doubt, "Of course, why did you mention this?"

"Look." The policeman came to a footprint and stepped on it.

The civil official twitched his eyebrows, "This..."

That footprint was more than a circle bigger than the catcher's foot. The catcher himself was already tall. The result of the last physical examination was five feet four inches. Due to his proficiency in lightness kung fu, his feet were wider than ordinary people's feet. .

However, the sole of his foot was placed in this footprint, and there was no way to fill it up.

"According to our previous speculation, the owner of this footprint should have also practiced lightness kung fu. Then, by calculating the height from the footprint, we can conclude that the owner of this footprint is a full seven feet tall—not an empty seven feet."

The policeman raised his finger forward, and the civil servant looked in the direction of his finger, "There is another footprint three feet away, and then another three feet, three feet... so I don't know how many miles it stretches, and I haven't been able to count it yet." come out."

"Sanzhang..." The official plucked his fingers, and then gasped.

"The one who went to the yamen to report the case should be the master himself." The policeman quickly glanced at the clerk, "Fortunately, you didn't stop the master from leaving. Once there was a conflict with him, it is estimated that the entire yamen would be unable to control it. Hold him."

The civil official was dumbfounded, and he didn't expect that the man who seemed to have no characteristics except being taller and handsome would be so powerful.

"But he killed someone..."

Before the clerk finished speaking, the arrester snorted coldly: "It's just an old dog that lends money to usurers. Someone in the government guarded him, but he couldn't get evidence for him, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.

"Just watch, wait until this matter is reported, let alone continue to pursue this matter, even the Wang family will be demolished, and that old dog will be dead for nothing!"

"Then, what about that person?"

"That man?" The corner of the policeman's mouth twitched contemptuously, "After knowing that the other party is at least an innate master, how could the government continue to investigate? It's not a master who died, but a local tyrant, or a loan shark!
"Even if you let the masters in the army go to encircle and suppress, you may not be able to fight, and you may even kill the masters in the army. The gain outweighs the loss."

"Then... let's forget it?" The civil official shook his head a little unacceptably.

The catcher quickly glanced at the clerk, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, what can we do? This happened in Jinmen. Could it be that you want the yamen in other places to deal with that expert? Who wants to?
"First of all, that master killed an old loan shark, and secondly, he was the least talented, who wants to deal with such a master?
"Let's not talk about dealing with him. It is estimated that even the arrest warrant will not be issued."

Sighing, the policeman patted the official on the shoulder, "It's not long since you graduated from university, right? Read more and learn more."

The clerk looked sadly at the footprint on the ground, then turned his head to look at the policeman who had gone away, his shoulders suddenly collapsed.

He looked up to the sky and let out a helpless sigh.

…………

Before leaving Jinmen, Zhong Ye bought two horses at the horse market, but because of his lack of money, he did not buy a carriage.

Fortunately, they didn't have much luggage, so two horses were enough.

Now Zhong Ye is no longer suitable for riding a horse in terms of height and weight, so he chose to walk just like when he left Belgrade.

Running against horses can no longer provide exercise to his body, and he can only become stronger through other high-pressure exercise methods.

Zhong Ye no longer puts the straight knife in his bracelet, because he needs the straight knife to guide him.

Nowadays, as long as the blue bird is not in the sheath, it will emit light, and when it points to the south, the light is the highest.

Zhong Ye didn't know how the craftsman who forged the blue bird did it, but now the blue bird did guide them.

After leaving Jinmen, they walked all the way to the south.

The east land is much more lively than the west land, and the road construction is better than that of any country in the west land. As long as it is a national road, it must be a cement road.

Vehicles driving on such roads can not only reduce wear and tear, but also reach their destinations at a faster speed.

Every [-] miles, they would come across a post station, and these post stations were stationed by soldiers, and usually they would patrol the side of the national highway to ensure that the national highway would not be blocked.

For an agricultural country, the national road is the channel for information transmission. Only by keeping the national road unobstructed can the news be delivered to the emperor in the shortest possible time.

In the feudal era, the size of a country's territory depended not only on the strength of the country and neighboring countries, but also on the speed of message transmission.

Although today's Huangguo has begun to build railways, the national highway is still an important information transportation channel, and it is impossible to revoke the function of the national highway so easily.

Moreover, if the function of the national road to transmit information is revoked, how to allocate the sergeants stationed at the post station is also a big problem.

To the south of Jinmen is Zhangde Mansion.

Zhong Ye and the others traveled all the way, and they could always meet businessmen and tourists passing by, including a few literati.

Under the kind invitation of those literati, Zhong Ye's image was also left on a painting. For this reason, those literati also paid for a piece of Wenwan.

That Wenwan is now held by Lilian, constantly playing with it.

It was a delicate and small jade gourd, with a translucent texture, and it felt oily and smooth to the touch, and it felt good to the touch.

Although it was just a small thing, it also added a little bit to Lilian's overall favorable impression of the Eastern Tu literati.

"Zhangde Mansion, the government office Anyang..."

Delilah rode behind the long line and looked up at the gate of the city ahead.

On the top of the city gate are engraved two large characters - Anyang.

At this time, when they looked west, they could see a continuous mountain range in the distance, which was part of the Taihang Mountains.

Delilah suddenly said: "Mr. Zhong, I think we have to be more careful next time."

Zhong Ye turned to look at her, "What did you see?"

"Chaos." Delilah answered succinctly.

Hearing this, Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows.

When he was in Jinmen, he didn't cause too much trouble, and he thought that Dongtu should be much safer than Xilu.

But now it seems that the hidden disasters in the east are not much less than those in the west.
