That night, Xiaoqing only felt that her sleep was exceptionally sweet. The nightmares of the past few years had finally all disappeared.
Luo Lingwei also felt happy. Although this task was tiring, it was surprisingly simple. Unlike the previous missions, they were either very dangerous or very disgusting.
Everyone was extremely happy. After working hard for almost two months, it had finally ended. Only Zhang Long was frowning. He was very worried about Xiaoqing's condition.
Although Xiaoqing had also killed before, she had no other choice but to protect herself. However, this time was different, Xiaoqing simply wanted to torture people. He was afraid that Xiaoqing might have some sort of mental magic barrier to her, so he kept this matter in his heart for a long time.
After everything was ready, Zhang Long led everyone in disguise. He disguised himself as a team of Darkdart Martial Masters to escort a noble young master home. Zhao Hu bought some horses and a carriage. After the preparations were made, everyone set out on the path.
At this moment, everyone was disguising themselves, and no one could recognize them. Everyone walked from Lan Xi County to Anhua State on the official road. Along the way, they had to pass through almost the entire Shan Yang region.
Along the way, Luo Lingwei came to know the local customs and customs of the Shanyang region, which was very different from the capital.
The diet of the people in Beijing was mostly made up of rice. However, there were plenty of resources in the Shanyang region. Although nothing could be considered as a staple food, anyone near the water could fish and those leaning against the mountain could hunt. However, even though there are plenty of them, they are so perishable that they cannot be used to pay taxes.
Therefore, Ye Feian suggested for the people to clear the wasteland and cultivate the grain. These few years, the taxes on the land of the mountain and sun had doubled.
After that, Ye Feian proposed that spring and autumn should not be missed, and requested the people not to hunt in the spring and autumn.
Firstly, if the fishing was too intense, all the birds and beasts in the Shanyang region would be eaten sooner or later. Secondly, spring and autumn was a busy season for farming and harvesting. In this way, if the people wanted to eat their fill in the winter, they would have to spend more effort in planting and harvesting in the spring and autumn.
Because of these policies, Ye Feian was greatly loved by the people of the sixteen states of Shan Yang. Although he was just a thousand years old, to the people of the sixteen prefectures of the Mountain Sun Country, he was even more important than the current Son of Heaven.
After learning these anecdotes, the disdain Luo Lingwei originally had towards Ye Feian disappeared by a lot. After all, in this era, under such circumstances, it was truly admirable for Ye Feian to be able to achieve such a result. Compared to that foolish emperor in the capital who only knew how to eat and drink, not only did he sigh with emotion, if this person was his eldest son, why would Ye Lianhe spend so much effort to protect him from those lecherous and mediocre people?
On this day, the few of them arrived at Dongshan County. Because of the continuous journey on the boat, their journey had been slow. The few of them were already exhausted. As soon as Luo Lingwei gave the order, everyone booked an inn.
The reason for his insolence was, firstly, because Luo Lingwei was acting the part of a popinjay, and his actions were extremely insolent. The second reason was that the group wouldn't be separated because of this. If there was any danger, it would be easier to escape.
The next day, after resting and rearranging themselves, just as everyone was about to get on the carriage and leave, they discovered that the entire inn was surrounded.
The warriors wanted to fight with the soldiers, but they were stopped by Zhang Long. Zhang Long walked up to the soldiers and greeted them with a smile. However, they didn't pay any attention to Zhang Long at all.
"Honored officials, we are from the Beijing Escort Office." As he spoke, he took out fifty taels of silvers from his bosom.
However, this group of soldiers did not take the same action at all.
"Do you know what it is? Get out of the way! " The leader of the group parted the crowd and walked in.
Zhang Long was bewildered. His heart was beating wildly as he quickly walked in front of the leader to open a path for him. However, the truth was that this was a warning to everyone in the room that someone was coming. They had to pack up everything that they shouldn't take out, lest they get into trouble because of it.
Seeing Zhang Long's attentive look, the leader couldn't help but furrow his brows.
"Who is in charge here?" The leader walked into the inn and sat down. The soldiers beside him immediately poured him a cup of tea.
"Reporting to Your Lordship, this is a vile character. This dart is my responsibility. " Zhang Long said to that person with a smile.
The leader nodded and said to Zhang Long, "A few days ago, a bank was robbed. Master received the report that the criminal was here. Would you be willing to take out the darts you have saved and examine them? See if it is the thing that was lost in the spring? "
Zhang Long smiled and took out the fifty taels of silver from his chest. He placed it in front of the leader and said, "Sir, you must be joking. This little one is not trying to save anything but a person."
Zhang Long said as he got Luo Lingwei to come out. At this moment, Luo Lingwei was disguised as a man. Although she had not put on any makeup, one could still see a trace of beauty.
Everyone present didn't know what was going on as they inwardly said that there was actually such a beautiful man in this world. Even though Luo Lingwei was dressed like a man, Little Qing and Little White were still dressed like a woman. At this moment, Luo Lingwei was hugging on the left and carrying the two beautiful girls, causing people to be extremely jealous. At the same time, Little Green and Little White were also very embarrassed.
"Milord, are you calling me?" Luo Lingwei held a folding fan and cupped her hands in a salute towards the leader.
When the leader saw Luo Lingwei's appearance, the jealousy in his heart was immediately ignited. He let out a cold snort and said, "This person is very suspicious. Capture him!"
"Stop!" At this moment, Zhang Long could tell that this person was not trying to arrest him. Instead, he was imprisoning him in the name of a thief and having him spend money to redeem himself.
"How dare you!" There's such a thing with our big brother... Are you talking to our commander!? " At this moment, the soldier who had poured water for the leader came forward and berated Zhang Long.
When Zhang Long heard this, he secretly cursed in his heart. So these guys were all bandits that had been summoned by Ye Feian. Even after greeting him, he still couldn't forget his old profession. Now, he was even more resolute. He wore the clothes of an officer and did the work of a bandit. This way, he would have nothing to fear.
Luo Lingwei could also tell what kind of background these people had. They could be considered to be people who had seen great storms and great waves. Seeing the ugly expressions of these clowns, he did not panic. Instead, he sneered, sat in front of the leader, and gave him a disdainful glance.
"You took me down as you please. Aren't you afraid of provoking someone you can't afford to offend?"
Luo Lingwei's simple sentence caused the leader to be stunned. It was not because of Luo Lingwei's domineering aura, but because of the green bamboo token hanging from her waist.
It belonged to a terrifying old man in the underworld, so why was it in the hands of this young man?
Luo Lingwei was not in a hurry as she pushed the fifty taels of silver that Zhang Long had left on the table in front of him.
"Brother, let's be friends."
