Ghost Slayer: My Wife Kanao
Chapter 245: A Remote Village (6/10)
The convoy was driving and stopped in a village when it was dark.
Su Mu lifted the curtain.
This is a not too big village, surrounded by special earthen walls, on the earthen walls, there are several strong young men with bows and arrows on their backs, patrolling back and forth.
When their convoy came over, they could clearly feel the vigilance in the eyes of these people.
After all, today's empire has long been decayed. Not only are there foreign invasions from the outside, but there are often rebels raising flags inside.
02 Although Jolly's team doesn't look like thieves
In particular, there are regular soldier guards, who don't seem to be robbers.
But in today's empire, sometimes officials are not as good as bandits.
"It seems that we are not very popular?"
Seeing the vigilance shown by the villagers, Su Mu couldn't help but put down the curtain of the car.
Jolly also sighed slightly: "I don't blame them, after all, in this world, and we are so heavily armed, we should be worried.
"However, if you explain the situation to them, it should be fine."
Joly spoke suddenly.
As a former minister, Jolly, he also participated in the governance when the late emperor was still alive, and he is still very famous among the people.
The people in the village were obviously very worried about the convoy staying outside the village. After a while, a pale old man walked out of the village with a walking stick.
Jolly also walked down from the convoy at this time.
"May I ask why your team is staying here?"
The old man looked at Jolly who came down from the carriage, and asked cautiously.
After all, in today's world, a fully armed convoy like Jolly is really worrying. If these people want to harm the village, it will be a disaster for the village.
Jolly naturally saw that the old man didn't seem to welcome them, but it was already dark and it was not suitable to continue on the road, so he needed to rest here.
"It's getting dark today and it's not suitable for traveling, so I want to stay in Guicun for a while."
Jolly couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, the old man could not help but frown. The village does not welcome outsiders, more precisely, no outsiders are welcome.
After all, the current situation in the empire is turbulent, and no one knows whether the outsiders who suddenly broke into the village will bring unimaginable disasters to the village.
Before, some villages were destroyed because they hid some revolutionary troops.
Therefore, the old man was silent for a while.
Although he didn't speak, the meaning was already obvious.
"Old man Qiao Li, this time he is returning to the imperial capital, preparing to clean up the government..." There was no other way, Qiao Li could only say his name.
Hearing Jolly explaining his identity, the old man's eyes could not help but brighten. When the late emperor was alive, the empire was not like it is now. Among them, Minister Jolly has done a lot of good things for the people.
These, old people like him have heard.
"Are you really...Master Jolly?"
The old man couldn't help but speak again.
"yes."
Jolly nodded.
"Since 227 is Lord Jolly, I invite you to rest in the village with the team.
The old man was a little excited. It would be really great if Minister Jolly returned to the capital and could really clean up the government and change the environment of the empire.
Inside the car, Su Mu saw that the old man immediately changed his attitude after hearing Jolly's name, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "It seems that Minister Jolly is very famous among the people."
"Of course. When the late emperor was alive, my father presided over many policies that benefited the people. Of course he was famous."
Bella next to her couldn't help but raise her head proudly.
But immediately, he seemed to think of something again, and he couldn't help but lower his head: "It's just a pity that these policies have been abolished since Minister Ornest took control of the government."
