Chapter 346 Trying to Stop It
It was dawn, and the mountains and hills were bustling.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others stood on the edge of the mountain, looking at the officers and soldiers passing by the mountainside, and also saw a group of martial arts masters they were escorting.
After the three of them watched for a while, they went back to their rooms. They had been busy for most of the day yesterday, and they would not be idly minding their own business today.
At dusk, Shi Zelan walked out of the room and Shi Xiaoliu had already cooked a pot of soup.
Xia Yu smiled at Shi Zelan and said, "If you come out a little later, I'm going to knock on the door."
Shi Zelan looked at the joy on his face and asked curiously: "What good news have you heard?" ?”
“The prefect is here again. I heard that he has brought many people and will stay on the mountain for a few days.”
After hearing this, Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "Should we go over and listen to the news tonight?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head at Shi Zelan: "I'm not going today. The prefect rushed over today, so he won't make a decision in a hurry."< br>
Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "If I go tonight, I probably won't hear any news.
In a few days, we will go to Yangzhou City to see if Mr. Novel Book knows what's going on here. "
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at him at the same time: "If Mr. Xiaoshu knows what's going on here, the government must have let him know."
When they said it. , suddenly found the golden light shining in the residence of Qiyuan Zhenren, and the three people ran over quickly, covering the golden light with leaves.
After they worked for a while and hid all the light from Qi Yuan’s residence, the three of them became a little worried.
With so many people up and down the mountain, would anyone notice the light on the top of their mountain?
Some people did see the light from Master Qiyuan's residence up and down the mountain, but because the light quickly disappeared from the horizon, everyone didn't take it to heart.
Shi Xiaoliu said thankfully: "Fortunately, the brilliance was revealed at this time, and we had time to hide the uncle's residence."
"My father is not such a careless person, he should I have made some preparations for prevention.” The light when crossing the barrier was quite dazzling in the end.”
Shi Xiaoliu also nodded at this time and said: "Yes, my master and uncle are in retreat. The light when they broke through the retreat for the first time was very dazzling. We used several layers of leaves to cover the light."
The three of them discussed covering the roof of Qiyuan Zhenren’s residence with a layer of snow, but the snow on Qiyuan Zhenren’s roof could easily slide off.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others made some more leaf nets, and then piled the snowflakes on the roof of Qiyuan Zhenren’s roof.
In the dead of night, the three of them were still a little uneasy, so they meditated on the roof again.
At the camp of the gold mine, the subordinates beside the magistrate stuffed two more large pieces of wood into the fire.
Tongzhi sat on the left side of the magistrate, and he also had a serious look on his face.
After the prefect arrived, Tongzhi accompanied him to hear the case. Naturally, the martial arts master disdained to answer the prefect’s questions.
At first, the prefect was still taboo about the identity of the masters of martial arts. Later, he felt more at ease after being informed by the guards that these masters of martial arts had their scapular meridians broken off on both shoulders.
Only about the three people who came to save people, the guard officers and soldiers spoke miraculously, but no one could tell clearly what those three people looked like.
They only said that those three people were swordsman masters. They were not murderous people, but chose to let most of the martial arts masters go.
Regarding the gold nuggets accumulated in the gold mine tunnels, the people who dug the gold mine said that it would take many of them several months of work to dig out so many gold nuggets.
People in the government actually don't like to encounter such miraculous things, but the facts force them to choose to face reality head-on.
The prefect said to Tongzhi: "According to true records, there are many unexplainable phenomena in this world.
As for the origins of those three people, they should have drawn their swords to help when they saw injustice. It's a pity that people like them would rather hide their identities than let everyone know about their talents.
After several days of excitement at the gold mine, peace finally returned.
It is not convenient for Shi Xiaoliu and the others to go to the bottom of the valley to practice swordsmanship at such a time, nor is it convenient for them to practice swordsmanship on the top of the mountain.
The three of them can only cultivate their spiritual consciousness. In order to avoid affecting each other, the three of them each choose a direction to release their spiritual consciousness.
The night was getting dark, and the three of them went back to their rooms to meditate.
For a while, the years in the mountains flew by. When the New Year was about to come, the three of them finally remembered what happened in the gold mine.
The three of them decided to go to Yangzhou Mansion again. Just to avoid some trouble, the three of them decided to act separately.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went to Yangzhou Mansion together, while Xia Yu stayed at the top of the mountain.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan came down the mountain, they found people guarding the official road and looked at them carefully.
Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan: "Let's rent a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-cart to go to Yangzhou Prefecture."
Shi Zelan agreed with Shi Xiaoliu's decision: "Okay, let's walk slowly. A carriage is coming, let’s try to stop it.”
The two of them were discussing medicinal herbs while walking, and Shi Xiaoliu said happily: "In such snowy weather, medicinal herbs will definitely grow vigorously next year."
He secretly sent a message to Shi Zelan: "Someone is here. Listen to us."
"Okay, brother, let's pick more herbs next year, and our family's life will be better."
Shi Zelan replied to Shi Xiaoliu's words and said again. To Shi Xiaoliu: "That man's ears are really good."
The two of them did not dare to walk fast, so they could only follow the footsteps of the person in front and walk forward.
Behind, the sound of horse hooves came. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan waited, then turned to look.
Seeing a carriage coming from a distance, Shi Xiaoliu said happily to Shi Zelan: "You have good eyesight, take a look, can you stop the carriage?"
"Brother, It’s too far. I can’t see clearly until the carriage gets closer.”
The horses’ hooves became louder and louder, and the people in front also stopped.
Shi Zelan said happily: "Brother, I can see it clearly, it looks like a carriage parked at the city gate."
They immediately waved in the direction of the carriage, and the people in front also took several steps back.
“One step at a time.”
The carriage slowly stopped, and Shi Xiaoliu stepped forward to talk to the driver.
The driver looked at the people standing on the roadside and nodded quickly.
The other three people also stepped forward to talk to the coachman. The coachman asked Shi Xiaoliu somewhat embarrassedly: "Can you come together?
I also pay half the fare for the car. "
Shi Xiaoliu turned to look at Shi Zelan, and when she nodded: "Okay. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan quickly got on the carriage, Shi Xiaoliu sat by the carriage door, and Shi Zelan sat by the window.
The other three people sat opposite them, The coachman drove the carriage away.
