Chapter 66 Standing Out From the Crowd
I didn't find the old man with white beard in the garden of the county city before, and if I find her, I won't do anything for the time being.
She knew in her heart that although she was bullied about it, in the eyes of the world, it is normal for couples to have intercourse. If you don't cooperate, you are wrong. No one will help her out, and her parents will stop her from messing around. It's different when it's outside, she has the military power in her hand, everything is under her control, she can decide what to do with it!
The old man with the white beard was not found in the garden. She guessed that he had already hid, so she didn't make a sound, fearing to startle the snake, and waited. When the people left the county, the old man should show up, right?
Wen Li and Wen Fang's behavior was obviously wrong, and they went back and forth, quickly and slowly, to check the group of people.
Niu Youdao noticed it, and looked back from time to time. After a while, he asked Yuan Gang who was walking beside him, "Where did the old bear go?"
Yuan Gang said, "That black face in the second row behind."
Niu Youdao turned his head and took a look, and he saw a black face, dressed as a guard, mixed in with the guards, he really didn't recognize it was the bear demon if Yuan Gang hadn't reminded him, so he couldn't help but turned back and asked Yuan Gang again, "What is his face?" What was on it?"
Yuan Gang: "He said he was wounded by me, and he took some medicine to wipe it off... Actually, it's the marinated sauce made in the kitchen. You can smell the sauce when you get close."
Niu Youdao was amused when he heard it, "This old guy has a strong sense of risk, but he's a bit petty, so there's nothing he can't do."
Yuan Gang didn't say anything, but he understood in his heart that he knew him. The bear monster seemed loyal, but he was actually a traitor. He had realized the danger long ago. He shaved his beard and said it was a wish to make Nanshan Temple prosperous and not grow a beard. The guard's clothes were said to be broken by him and he had no clothes to change, and the sauce was smeared on the face and he said it was the medicine from the injury. He wanted to avoid Feng Ruonan's settlement, but also wanted to fool this side with his honest and honest appearance. If he hadn't been reminded by the Taoist master, he had been watching secretly, afraid that he would be fooled by this monster.
As for why the bear demon presented itself to this side with a loyal and honest face, one can guess after thinking about it, wanting to lull this side to relax their vigilance, so as to wait for an opportunity to escape.
Yuan Gang waited and saw what tricks the demon bear could do, and how he escaped with the twenty or so monks.
Speaking of this point, in fact, Yuan Gang is not disgusted with Yuan Fang now, but has a faint appreciation. He tried it before and gave Yuan Fang a chance to escape, but he detained the group of monks in Nanshan Temple and did not let him go. Yuan Fang didn't take the opportunity to escape alone, after going out to buy something, he came back obediently.
Afterwards, Yuan Gang realized why those monks in Nanshan Temple could ignore Yuan Fang but did not do so, but followed Yuan Fang all the way to take risks. He knew that Yuan Fang was not a good person, but he did have merits. Everyone in the Jianghu in the true sense knows that there are countless temptations, life and death are entrusted to each other, and there is nothing more priceless than the word "loyalty" in the face of open and dark arrows. Therefore, there is an old saying in the Jianghu that loyalty lasts forever!
So he agreed with Dao Master's words in his heart. Apart from some problems with his outlook on life and values, this bear demon has a good foundation.
Shang Chaozong and others naturally also noticed the abnormality on Feng Ruonan's side, but they didn't know what they were looking for...
Boom! There was a thunder in the sky.
The weather was not beautiful, the sun was still shining brightly when we left the county town, and within half a day after we left, we were covered by dark clouds. With the sound of thunder, the big raindrops began to fall, becoming more and more dense, and a shower came.
The riding team immediately accelerated, ran wildly in the rain, and rushed to the next post station. Because the luggage was not accompanied, tents and the like were not brought, but the post stations along the way were prepared in advance. Yuanfang in the rainstorm was able to cast spells to resist at first, preventing the raindrops from getting close to him, but after a long time, he couldn't stand the continuous invasion, and his magic power was too much for the continuous, so he had to accept the baptism of God helplessly.
Seeing that the station was just around the corner, right in front of it, the rainstorm came and went quickly, and the dark clouds swung away in a blink of an eye and rolled to other places.
Yuanfang on horseback looked up at the blue sky, and murmured, "Buddha!"
The post stations in Guangyi County have long ceased to function for the imperial court, and are exclusively used by Feng Lingbo.
The post station received a bulletin from the previous post station, knowing that Feng Ruonan and his party were coming here soon, and when they saw heavy rain, all the people in the post station immediately dispatched to set up tents outside. The post station here also knew that under normal circumstances, Feng Ruonan and his party would not stop here, and it might rain now.
Before several tents had been set up, however, the sky cleared.
The reason why tents were set up was because the post station had limited space to accommodate thousands of people. Feng Ruonan and other main characters had rooms to settle in, so there was no way for all the soldiers below to live in.
Feng Ruonan wanted to come, no matter how lazy they are usually, the people in the inn would not dare to be sloppy at this time, if they make trouble, they will lose their heads. As soon as the rain stopped, the postmaster immediately ordered the people below to cook ginger soup. Although it was warm in spring, it was still freezing when it rained in spring.
Sure enough, not long after the postmaster gave the order, there was the sound of rumbling hoofs, a large group of people approaching from a distance, horses neighing one after another, the riding team had slowed down and stopped outside, and a dozen riders rushed in for inspection first.
Feng Ruonan didn't wear battle armor, but was dressed in women's clothing, with wet clothes close to her body. Although her body was strong, she still had feminine bumps and curves. Wen Xin had already shaken off her cloak to wrap it up for her.
Feng Ruonan was not in a hurry to enter the post station. As an excellent general, her first reaction was to check the impact of the heavy rain on the opponent's troops.
As soon as he turned his mount to look back, Feng Ruonan couldn't help sniffing his nose, smelling a strong smell similar to sweat, his eyes searched the crowd.
At first when he was galloping, he didn't feel the wind blowing, but when he stopped now, many people could smell the smell, one after another, the eyes of those who smelled the smell gradually focused on Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang felt like crying. The sauce on the skin was fine when it was dry. After being washed by the rain, it immediately smelled bad. The black color on the face spread all over the clothes below the neck. This special image It's so conspicuous, it stands out from the crowd, and it's hard not to be noticed.
He himself thought that he was smart but was mistaken by his cleverness. If he didn't apply this sauce, people might not be able to notice him.
Although he knew that it could be hidden for a while, but not forever, and he would be caught sooner or later, but he just wanted to delay the consequences as much as possible, maybe he could find an opportunity to escape with the monks in advance, and secondly, the victim might be angry when he was overwhelmed. Don't pursue it anymore.
His only regret now is that he didn't think carefully when he acted in the first place. He realized that he was in trouble when he saw the scene of Shang Dynasty Zong being beaten in the bridal chamber. The concubine who dared to beat the prince in the bridal chamber was terrified even thinking about it.
In fact, it can't be blamed for his lack of consideration. He was dragged here from Nanshan Temple. He didn't know anything about the situation and couldn't make an accurate judgment. Otherwise, he couldn't have revealed his true face when he was doing business.
Feng Ruonan stared at him for a while, then turned around and asked, "Is it him?"
Wen Xin and Wen Li were not sure after careful examination, not only because of the beard, but also because the old man with the white beard had a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Little did they know that after the incident, Yuanfang shaved immediately, then hid in the house and quickly cast spells, worked hard to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and finally changed the old appearance into a new one.
"The eyes seem to be a bit like..." Wen Xin and Wen Li murmured about the situation, expressing that they were not sure.
Shang Chaozong and the others were a little strange, wondering why Feng Ruonan was staring at Yuan Fang, but the situation where Yuan Fang deliberately shaved and was drenched in the rain also made them suspicious, what the hell?
Yuan Gang, who knew the facts, was expressionless, but Niu Youdao grinned happily, and shouted loudly on purpose, "Old Xiong, why did you shave your white beard? What happened to the dark spots on your body?" thing?"
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of Feng Ruonan who was staring at Yuanfang suddenly shrank, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yuan Fang heard the words, but almost fainted, almost fell off the horse, and there was a groan in his heart, Daoist, don't bring such a trick!
The corner of Yuan Gang's mouth twitched, and he could feel Yuan Fang's mood.
Feng Ruonan didn't say anything, and inspected the accompanying people as usual, and then entered the station and jumped off the horse.
There are several tents set up around the post station, and there are still unfinished ones. The smell of ginger soup wafting in the air made Feng Ruonan feel a little relieved. She knew very well that the inn far away from the city was not big, and there were not many people there. It was not easy to be prepared to this extent in the face of emergencies. Everything she saw and heard in front of her proved that the inn was hardworking. As a general in charge of the army, she is well aware of the importance of smooth military affairs, and a well-functioning inn is also a very important part.
Looking at the postmaster in front of him who came to pay a visit, Feng Ruonan said lightly, "Notify the local county magistrate, this person can be an official of the post!"
Chengyi official, the official in charge of the post station in a county, her words are tantamount to changing the fate of the post chief. In fact, the postmaster is not considered an official, and the postman is considered to have officially stepped into the threshold of an official.
The postmaster was overjoyed, but Feng Ruonan was too lazy to be polite to him, and had already stepped inside.
A group of people went into the station room to change clothes one after another, women naturally had priority, and the soldiers below took turns to change in the tent.
Niu Youdao noticed that despite the torrential rain, the bodies of several people headed by Bai Yao were still dry, and there were no traces of being wet by the rain, but he himself was soaked.
"Master Dao!" Yuan Fang shouted outside to stop Niu Youdao who was about to enter the post station, and invited him to the side to speak.
Niu Youdao slapped his nose with his hands, frowned, and asked knowingly, "Why do you smell so bad?"
Yuan Fang repeatedly cupped his hands and begged: "Master Dao, just let us go, if we don't go, I'm afraid I'll lose my life!"
Niu Youdao said in surprise, "Okay, why did you say that?"
Yuan Fang glanced at Yuan Gang who was staring at him not far away, whispered what Yuan Gang asked him to do, and finally said with a sad face: "If you don't leave, the princess will probably kill me!"
Niu Youdao said, "What else should I do? This matter, I asked Yuan Gang to order you to do this matter."
