Chapter 107 The town of peace is not peaceful

The autumn wind blew red all over the mountains and fields, patrolling the built defensive city walls. Pei Shuo hopes to take A Yao to see the maple leaf forest in front of him one day. This is one of the few fun in the boring life of the military soldiers.

Last autumn, the Northern Barbarians attacked, and he shot and killed one of the Northern Barbarians. He also lit the beacon for the nearby Lion Ridge beacon tower and beat the drum to warn, which made the soldiers on duty on the Lion Ridge successfully retreat to the enemy.

The Northern Barbarians divided into three groups, heading south to Ping'an Town to tap Caogu, to attract the generals in Yanmen, and occupied Feihu Ridge, where only two people were on duty, secretly hid weapons, and impersonated Yanmen soldiers and sneaked into Yanmen. The inner barbarians burned the granary to attract the attention of most soldiers. The third Northern Barbarians attacked Shizi Ridge through Feihu Ridge, waiting for the signal from the inner responding, launched an attack on Yanmen, and occupied Yanmen in one fell swoop.

It’s a pity that Pei Shuo broke an important part of their plan.

The Northern Barbarians were defeated and left Yanmen. On the other side, the commander of the thousands of men noticed that there were not many Northern Barbarians in Ping'an Town, but kept dragging them. He realized that their drunkard was not about wine, so he quickly fought and returned to Yanmen, and finally returned to Yanmen on the night of the fire.

Afterwards, the city wall from the section from Shiziling to Feihuling was built quickly, and even the vacancies were left. Pei Shuo was awarded, and Li Yongwu and others did not make things difficult for him anymore, and there was no need to move bricks, so they patrol the city wall.

Practice military martial arts in winter, sowing and farming in spring and summer, and autumn is coming again in a blink of an eye.

Before autumn, a confrontation between military camps came to Yanmen.

Winning one party can get a short vacation, losing that party harvests rice, and Pei Shuo’s Xiliuying won. The excited Fang Jiabao hooked Pei Shuo’s neck, "Where are you going to play for a few days on holiday? I think they plan to go to Ping'an Town, but last year, wasn’t Ping'an Town beaten to the grass valley, and I always feel a little panicked. What about you, what are you going to?"

Pei Shuo's temperament has been polished by more than a year of military camp and has been much more restrained. Hearing this, he thought: "Go to Ping'an Town to have a look."

Fang Jiabao's face collapsed: "You go to Ping'an Town too. What if, I say, what if Ping'an Town is not safe?"

A prophecy came true.

Like Fang Jiabao, who has not left Yanmen for more than a year, stepped into the territory of Ping'an Town, it seemed like he had returned from the deep mountains and forests to the bustling world. He rushed into the market. He could still hear him excitedly buying this and that from a distance.

"Remember to meet at the entrance of Laifu Restaurant before sunset." The centurion shook his head when he saw Fang Jiabao's happy appearance and shouted loudly, "After free activities, there is a scholar writing letters from home near the inn in the town. If you need it, you can go over and bring a letter from home. By the way, you will always find good things when you walk around." Fang Jiabao had already run away. The centurion reminded others and asked them to be careful not to expose their identities.

Pei Shuo visited the Ping'an Town Market alone.

You can see merchants from all over the world, exotic merchants leading camels, specializing in selling spices and pearls from the southeast, gems and tea from the southwest, grains from the middle earth, fruits and vegetables, and even weapons and armor. Ping'an Town is not big, and there are countless varieties traded, which opens your eyes.

Ping'an Town is located in a special location. It is built on the Gobi Desert. It is located at the junction of the two countries and is closer to the border than Yanmen. Yanmen is an important road that runs north to Yanzhou. It passes through Yanzhou and Jinshui River and goes straight to the capital.

Ping'an Town is a turret standing on the Gobi Desert, but there are no gates built between the south and the south. The north and south gates can be freely entered and exited, with no residents, no military offices and county governments, only chambers of commerce, and this is a major trade center. This is why the centurion specifically reminds them not to expose their identities.

The soldiers from Yanmen can come, and the Beiyi people from the north can come too.

"The most sold is grain and salt, and there are no less armor. The material of fur is just like that. There is nothing new to send to A Yao." After walking around, Pei Shuo had a rough understanding.

The merchant who sold the rattan armor laughed happily, and saw that the quality was OK, so he followed the trend and bought one on his body and put it on his coat.

"Pei Shuo——"

Hearing Fang Jiabao's shouting from afar, Pei Shuo looked around. He was sprinting for a hundred meters, holding a lot of things in his hand, his face was flushed and very excited. When he saw Pei Shuo, who was the same age, the gate of the conversation suddenly opened: "Don't look at it, there are so many things here. Look, the fur on the grassland is soft. I bought 2 pieces, one is left in the camp, and one is sent home for my mother..."

"Let's find a place to eat and sit down and talk," Pei Shuo said.

But Fang Jiabao had to go to the inn first, send the things home and then go to eat with Pei Shuo.

After completing a matter of concern, Pei Shuo took him to Laifu Inn. Fang Jiabao swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat and continued to tell Pei Shuo what he saw and heard.

A few people who had a few eagle-eyed and curled noses and had a slightly different hair color than those of the Central Plains people turned around and saw Pei Shuo and Fang Jiabao leaving. They gave each other a wink, and were placed behind them from afar.

Pei Shuo vaguely felt that someone was following him, but no matter whether he looked back or stopped looking in the mirror, he could not find any suspicious people after taking a look around.

Could it be his illusion?

With suspicion, Pei Shuo and Fang Jiabao returned to Laifu Inn, and the others were already sitting in their seats to eat.

"Let's sit at that table and order something to eat by yourself." Fang Jiabao curled his lips and pulled Pei Shuo to another table to order steamed buns and porridge. He was frightened when he saw Li Yongwu. Every time he saw him, he always remembered that he gave him some money to prepare some, so he didn't have to pick bricks every day. He felt so distressed that he couldn't beat him. Try to avoid such people.

Pei Shuo silently stared at the door to check. He believed his intuition. Who could it be? Could it be that the Beiyi people in the north of the border? But at that time, the enemy on Feihuling had been killed by him, so there was no possibility of a fish that had missed the net. Afterwards, it was not widely publicized. Was this tracking a temporary or intentional way?

By raising his hand to drink tea, Pei Shuo observed Laifu Inn for a while, and the feeling of being stared at him disappeared since he entered the inn.

I can't figure it out.

"Pei Shuo, Pei Shuo, the steamed buns are here, eat them quickly." Fang Jiabao said.

"Oh." Pei Shuo picked up the porridge and put the steamed buns. He missed the porridge made by A Yao. The rice grains were blooming, the thick and thick, and the Sixi Shaomai. It was not like this inn. There were not many rice in the porridge.

"Brother, do you want to pickle laceberry? The sour and sweet porridge is delicious?" The child carrying the basket asked over the table. Some people looked at the small plates of laceberry in the basket. The water Lingling looked crispy and emitting a sour and jealous smell. They were greedy for a moment and asked about a small plate. When asked about Pei Shuo's table, Pei Shuo shook his head. Fang Jiabao was a little moved, but still shook his head.

The child walked around and seemed to be almost sold. He left. He just stepped out of the inn and headed straight to the front of several men. The street was crowded with people. I don’t know what they said. The child had dozens of copper coins on his hands and slipped into the alley, just like a loach returning to mud and water, and he couldn’t find anyone in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was full, and the centurion asked them if they wanted to go shopping again, and if they didn't go shopping, they would go back. There was no objection, including Pei Shuofang's Jiabao.

Depart for Yanmen.

Halfway through the way, several people's stomachs were rumbling, thinking about reincarnation for a while.

The centurion pinched his nose and said to the grass, "You guys just ate Lai, and everyone else is fine. Then let's continue walking first. You guys hurry up and catch up, don't you hear it!"

"knew!"

After walking for a while, the centurion turned around, "Why haven't those kids caught up with them now?"

"Maybe it's because my legs are weak and I can't walk." Li Yongwu said. "Walk to the Shili Tea House and wait for them. If they haven't caught up, they will look for someone to look back."

Just the next moment—

"Not good! Trap!"

He stepped on the soil-colored cloth, and the centurion was too late to scream, and he fell into the deep pit.

Li Yongwu reached out and grabbed the centurion's hand, but unexpectedly he was attacked from behind. The stick suddenly hit him on the back. He let out a muffled groan, stabilizing and pulling the centurion to the ground. But the next moment, his leg was kicked by someone, knocking him down, and both of them fell into a deep pit with the centurion.

As for the others' panic in an instant, they were wearing swords, guns and sticks when they came out for vacation, trying to deal with the enemy with bare hands. They didn't even need to show their faces, and a big net shot shot to kill them all in one go!

Until eyes were covered and mouths were stuffed, a group of people were escorted to an unknown place, they still didn't know who those people were.
Chapter completed!
