The Adventures of the Mad County King on the Domain [Infrastructure]

Xie Qian had a heart full of spring blossoms, with joy that others couldn't bear to look at on the corners of his eyes and brows, he had a nice meal of porridge and side dishes, and then took a walk admiring the lonely winter scenery of Xiying.

However, his good mood had to come to an abrupt end after seeing the information Wang Wu brought, and the corners of his mouth, which had always been raised suspiciously, formed a straight line.

It was only one night, to be precise, but two or three hours, and there was not much information at hand.

The first thing is that in the county town, seven out of ten houses are vacant. Among them, all combustible materials such as firewood, thatch, and wood have been emptied, but the rice and grain hidden near the stove have been left behind.Although there are still [-] to [-]% of the houses inhabited, almost all of them are active in the outer city, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

In contrast, some traces of life were found near the foot of the mountain near the Min River, and, correspondingly, several local soldiers who returned home last night also went in the same direction.It can be roughly inferred that the people who fled from Mi County most likely lived in the nearby forests.

Why is it that no one wants to live in such a large county town with ready-made houses?However, there are trees suitable for felling everywhere, so why use the city as a place to cut firewood?

There was something weird everywhere in this information, and Xie Qian couldn't help frowning.When he was in Chang'an, he specially studied the geography of Shu County. There is water in the south and mountains on both sides. The forests in the mountains are lush, and there are swamps, mud, miasma, and fog. The terrain is very complicated.Therefore, even if the general location of the residents in the county is found, it is difficult to actually reach the specific location without a guide.

For the current plan, I'm afraid we still have to start with that unknown local soldier.

Xie Qian sighed softly, and couldn't help feeling "it's true", then he and Gou Yu looked at each other with helpless smiles, obviously they all had the same meaning: "troublesome."

Wang Wu, who sent the information, was muttering in his heart, what kind of riddles are the county king and the military division playing, why are they only reading the information and not talking, why are they laughing?Is this information good or bad?

However, because the king of the county is "one of his own" and cannot be slandered, Wang Wu looked at Gou Yu with colored glasses, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that his smile was malicious, so he secretly made a note and planned to go back and inform his brothers , take this person as a key observation (surveillance) object.

Closer to home, not long after reading the information, several local soldiers returned to the camp on time, and were taken to separate small tents by the guards waiting outside the camp gate.

Xie Qian and Gou Yu split up and each chose a tent to inquire.

Wang Wu was afraid that Xie Qian would be in danger alone, so he hurried to protect him, and even helped open the door and turn on the lights.However, Gou Yu doesn't have this kind of treatment and can only rely on himself.

Let's just talk about Xie Qian's side.The small tent was already narrow, and there were only two or three cushions on the floor. When three people entered, the space seemed extremely crowded.

The local soldier waiting in the tent was about thirty years old, with the sly gleam of a veteran in his eyes.Although he had never met Xie Qian before, he knew Wang Wu. Looking at Wang Wu's attitude, he guessed that Xie Qian's status was higher. Still respectful.He said: "Sir, this boss, what do you two do?"

Wang Wu scolded: "What boss! It's called the county—"

Xie Qian quickly cut it off and said, "My surname is Yun, and I'm the new county guard."

Wang Wu: "...cough, Governor Yun."

The local soldier said with a smile: "Master Sheriff, send my regards to Master Sheriff. The younger one's surname is Yang, so you can call him Yang San."

Xie Qian: "Yang San, since you are ranked third, let me ask you three things."

Yang San: "My lord, please don't say three things, even if you ask thirty things, tell the truth about the small ones."

Xie Qian: "Where did the residents of Shu County go?"

Yang San rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master the county guard, you can stop the little one now. Although we are locals, the accusation is that we are guarding the camp and cannot enter the city casually. We don't know the specifics of what happened in the county. what."

Wang Wu's expression changed, he opened his eyes and talked nonsense.With such a short distance, how could Xiying have no knowledge of such a major event as the relocation of the county residents, not to mention that the soldier's family was among the relocated county residents, and he went home last night!

However, to Wang Wu's surprise, Xie Qian had no intention of questioning at all, but nodded in agreement, "That's right." He added, "Then the second question, are you familiar with the nearby terrain?"

Yang San prepared a full amount of arguments, but he never expected that Xie Qian had no intention of pursuing it, so he couldn't help being startled for a long time before he realized it, and stammered: "Familiar, familiar."

Xie Qian's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer and said, "Then do you know where the scenery is particularly unique? I often heard that there are strange rocks around the Min River in Chang'an, are there any suitable for painting... Sigh, you probably don't understand, Anyway, the weirder the stone, the better, right?"

Yang San: "...Huh?"

Not to mention Yang San, even Wang Wu was so surprised that he almost couldn't hold back, didn't he say he wanted to ask about Mi County, why did he mention it briefly, but asked about something irrelevant with great interest?

However, after all, Yang San is an old fritter in the barracks. He quickly came back to his senses, and secretly reassessed the "supreme officer" of the millet land, while deliberating: "My lord, there are some, but most of them It's far away from Linshen Road, a remote place with few people. There are no tourists here, and the road into the mountain is even more difficult. Without a guide, I'm afraid it's easy to encounter danger..."

Xie Qian was overjoyed, grabbed Yang San, and said excitedly: "There are no tourists?! Wouldn't that be a great thing! Great, this is wonderful!!"

Yang San: "..." Look at those shining eyes, he doesn't look like a sheriff, he is just a dandy addicted to traveling in mountains and rivers!Yang San couldn't help but secretly despised him in his heart, and a bit of impatience inevitably appeared on his face.

Wang Wu saw it, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and Xie Qian asked again: "Then... can you be a guide?! Do you know the exact location?"

Yang San's face is tangled, not because he doesn't know, but because the strange stone has a special status to... Therefore, most of the clansmen live next to the stone now, and it's not difficult to take the unreliable Master Yun to play, but In case the settlement is exposed...

Seeing his hesitation, Xie Qian said proudly: "Well, I don't care about you, I will borrow you from the general. If you take it to a good place, in addition to the subsidy for foreign missions, the official will have an extra reward!"

Yang San: "Ah, this..." He dubiously looked at Captain Wang's face.Fortunately, Wang Wu was good at responding to the situation, so he nodded quickly to cooperate with Xie Qian. If it was another captain, it was hard to guarantee that his feet would not be exposed.

After coaxing Yang San to agree, Xie Qian waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm done asking, it's none of your business, so go about your business. Remember, you are not allowed to reveal the content of the conversation here to others. I need to deal with some chores, and then I will ask you to go to find the strange stone."

Yang San hurriedly agreed, turned around and wanted to get out of the tent, but Xie Qian seemed to be inadvertent, and suddenly said: "What delicious food did you bring, so delicious?"

Yang San paused slightly, and said: "Hey! A few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus tofu pickled by the mother-in-law, sir, do you want to try it?" He really took out a small porcelain cup from his arms and held it to Xie Qian.

Xie Qian lifted the lid and took a look, then pushed it back as it was, and said, "Okay, I don't like sweets, go."

When Yang San got out of the tent, Xie Qian sat there for a while, his face sinking like water.Although Xiaowei Wang tried his best to cooperate, he couldn't figure out the reason for Xie Qian's doing so, he hesitated again and again and didn't dare to ask.At this time, Xie Qian, who had figured it out, smiled at him and said, "Go, go and check the situation with Gouzi first."

When the two returned to the tent of the Chinese army, Gou Yu came back early, holding a cup of hot water in his hand, with a gloomy expression on his face, when he saw Xie Qian, he immediately toasted each other from a distance, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, you are really a middle-aged man!" Jackpot."

Wang Xiaowei secretly thought, what kind of yin and yang weirdness!

Xie Qian scoffed, and said: "The worst thing is that the person can't be found. Facing an empty city, what bigger problem can there be?"

"Yes." Gou Yu sneered, "It's really an empty city, but it's not difficult to deal with. I'm afraid the county king has worked hard to find someone, but it's more troublesome than not being able to find him."

Captain Wang couldn't help being surprised and said: "How is it possible? What did you ask?!"

Gou Yu: "Unfortunately, I didn't ask anything."

Captain Wang was even more surprised: "If you can't ask, how can you infer this?"

Gou Yu: "Because the one I met, from the beginning to the end, has been repeating a Lemo saying: 'May the great sage Shaman bless my soul'."

Captain Wang: "Ah? What do you mean?"

Xie Qian: "..."

The corner of Gou Yu's mouth curled slightly, showing a smirk of "ah, you finally feel it", and said, "How, is it more difficult than imagined?"

Xie Qian didn't know if it was possible, he lifted his robe slowly, sat down at the main seat, and said: "Do you think that after reading books related to millet land for many years, you can't predict the possible situation?"

Gou Yu was slightly taken aback.

Xie Qiandao: "Worshiping ancestral gods, shamans, and witches has a long history in the millet land. Since what you heard is the 'Le Mo words', it means that the great witch who took away the county people is very likely to be a Le Mo person. Secondly , the place where the county residents live is not far from here, and secondly, Gu has found a guide. With these three great developments, do you still feel that Gu can't handle it?"

A look of shock slowly appeared on Gou Yu's face, he bowed deeply to Xie Qian, and said, "Let it be arranged by the king of the county."

Wang Xiaowei watched the whole process from the sidelines and was amazed. His admiration for Xie Qian went up to a higher level in his heart, and thus, his admiration for his general went up to a hundred levels.Look at this vision, this standard is so high that it is boundless. He is indeed the person selected by the general. It is a cool word to settle this arrogant and stinky scholar with a few words.

Unexpectedly, before Gou Yu finished bowing, Xie Qian suddenly fell down from his sitting position, thumped the table and said, "Ah! Where is the luck of the lonely?! Why is it the most troublesome direction! Damn——Qi Sha Lonely—”

Gou Yu: "..."

Wang Wu: "..."

The author has something to say:

Xie Qian: Hey... I'm so dark, I'm African, I guess.

He Feiyun: The prince has fine skin and tender flesh, not black.

Xie Qian: ... Although thank you for the compliment, it's just that, General He, are you European, are you lucky?

He Feiyun: No.To be honest, except for the battle where he was injured, the assault always hits the enemy coach, never hits a stray arrow, never wades a trap, is it considered lucky?

Xie Qian: Then you are too European!Quickly let the solitary suck——

Wang Wu: ...But I heard that if it wasn't for the eye injury that time, Your Majesty intended to give the princess to our general...

Xie Qian: ...ah, forget it, I'll have to rely on myself.
