The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 304: Entering the village to investigate and find a big fish

In Daxia, the culture of the She people is different from that of the Han people. They call themselves "the descendants of the red-legged skirt and Panhu". Although they are also citizens of Daxia, they all like to call themselves Shanha, which means guests in the mountains. In the early years, they migrated to this land, and the Han people who settled here first called the She people who came later as guests, and as time passed, a custom was formed.

This She village is in Songyang County, so Xiao Rui was able to find out the basic information about this village. There are about a hundred She people in the stockade. They settle in the jungle, cultivate and hunt by themselves, are self-sufficient, and rarely communicate with the outside world. Every time they go out to the county town, they sell their prey and buy necessities for life.

Therefore, there is no official road to Shezhai, only small trails.

Similarly, because they are far away from the outside world, there are few guests. Xiao Rui's sudden arrival will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance. A line was engraved on the forehead: We are awesome, we are here to find trouble!

So Xiao Rui and Guo Jia dressed up as scholars and walked together with bamboo boxes on their backs, without Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei.

And Li Yuanfang and Dianwei hid around Shezhai with strong bows on their backs, acting as snipers, watching Xiao Rui and Guo Jia's actions and waiting for opportunities.

Although Xiao Rui also practiced martial arts, his lips were red and his teeth were white. Putting on a white shirt, he immediately became a handsome scholar, but there was no trace of martial arts practice from his appearance. As for Guo Jia, he is just a scholarly spirit, so there is no need to pretend.

Two helpless scholars pass by Shezhai, even if She people are curious, they will relax their vigilance.

The two approached Shezhai along the small path, and were soon discovered by She people and stopped.

"Buddha's son, why are you running around..." asked two She people holding long sticks and carrying bows and arrows.

Xiao Rui blinked, spread his hands, and asked, "Hello, can I speak the official language?"

Although Guo Jia is well educated, he doesn't know the uncommon She dialect either.

The two She people looked at each other, and one of them hurried back to the village, and soon, an old man came out.

"You two, where did you come from and where are you going? How did you come here?" The old man looked at Xiao Rui and Guo Jia, and looked at their outfits, and the vigilance in his eyes relaxed.

Xiao Rui hurriedly returned the salute, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and said: "Hello, old man, we came from Lishui Mansion, and went west to Shangrao Mansion. We were greedy for shortcuts, but we lost our way and came to Guizhai by mistake. We are hungry and thirsty. It's hard to bear, the dry food has been exhausted, please let the old man make it easier for us to rest and have a full meal, we will not eat in vain."

As he spoke, he quickly took out his money bag from his bosom, and poured out more than a dozen copper coins. Guo Jia, who was at the side, also took out some copper coins, and said embarrassingly: "There are not many copper coins. I hope the old man will not be offended."

The old man saw the restraint and embarrassment of the two, and the cautiousness in his eyes completely disappeared, so he said: "Since passing by this place, it is fate, you follow me."

The old man nodded to the She people who were guarding him, and led Xiao Rui and Guo Jia into the stockade. On the way, he did not forget to remind: "You two scholars, rest at my house tonight, and you will set off again tomorrow, and follow the path to the northwest. If you go, you will arrive at Songyang County. Don’t try to take shortcuts and get lost in the future. In addition, most of our She villages don’t know Mandarin, so don’t run around. We She people live in the mountains and forests all year round, so we are more vigilant. Carry weapons with you, it will be bad if you accidentally hurt you."

"Don't worry, old man, we won't walk around indiscriminately." Xiao Rui responded.

Afterwards, the two followed the old man into the Shezhai village, and when they met She people on the way, they both showed cautious expressions. Fortunately, Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei were not brought along, if they were brought along, they probably wouldn't be able to enter the village.

When they came to a bamboo building, the old man arranged for the two to live in a guest room to rest, then asked his grandson to entertain the two, and then went downstairs to prepare dinner.

The old man's grandson is twelve or thirteen years old, eccentric, which should be the reason why the old man taught him, he can speak official language.

Xiao Rui took out the toys and storybooks that he had prepared in advance, and the little guy received the gift, and yelled at each other, immediately drawing the relationship between the three of them closer.

"Erlei, don't outsiders rarely come to your village? When we came in, I felt that the villagers in the village were full of hostility. Don't you She people claim to be guests from the mountains and are very hospitable? Is there something wrong with us? " Xiao Rui asked.

The little guy flipped through the storybook, opened his mouth and said, "My grandpa won't let me talk nonsense, but the two elder brothers are willing to give me their beloved books. How can they be bad people? I'll tell you quietly, you can't tell grandpa We She people are hospitable, but recently an important person came to the village, so the old patriarch asked me to be more vigilant to prevent bad guys from breaking in."

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Well, then the two of us didn't intend to come here, so we won't arouse the hostility of your old patriarch."

"Probably not, my grandfather is an elder of the clan, so it will be fine if you bring you in." The little guy replied.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other, and Guo Jia then asked: "Could it be that a high-ranking official has come to Guizhai? Is it some high-ranking official? The biggest official I have ever seen is the county magistrate."

Guo Jia pretended to be stupid and Dabai was really similar, with a look of longing, like a nerd.

Er Lei shook his head and said, "I only know it's a woman. She lives in Uncle Lan's house. Uncle Lan is a doctor in the village. Last time I took medicine for grandpa, I took a look from afar."

"Yo, she's still a woman, so there must be guards around her." Xiao Rui asked.

"There are four or five people, not many people, and they all stare at me coldly!" Er Lei was a little upset.

As soon as the words were finished, Er Lei's grandfather came up, and it turned out that dinner was ready, and he asked the two of them to eat.

The old man prepared the special food of Shezhai, and the two pretended to be hungry and ate it, and went back upstairs to rest. At the same time, they noticed that there were guards outside the bamboo building, which seemed to prevent Xiao Rui and Guo Jia from running around.

Coming to the upstairs room, Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, the people in the village are heavily guarded and vigilant. Although we sneaked in, it may not be easy to find out the identity of the Black Lotus Sect member quietly. "

Xiao Rui came to the window and saw that the watchman outside hadn't left, and it looked like he was going to watch all night. He laughed and said, "The more you are on guard, the more it means it's a big fish, it's probably the saint of the Black Lotus Sect." Fortunately, Zhang Sanqian was not waited for, once troops were sent to encircle and suppress, with their vigilance, the opponent would run away before they arrived."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "For the present plan, we can only act."

"Good!" Xiao Rui agreed.

at the same time.

In the bamboo building in the center of the village, Erlei's grandfather came to see the patriarch.

"Old Lei, I heard that you brought two strangers into the village?" The old patriarch sat at the head, and there was a middle-aged man behind him, so he asked Er Lei's grandfather.

The middle-aged man spoke Mandarin.

Erlei's grandfather frowned, and asked, "Mr. Lu, can't you? We She people come here to be hospitable. When we meet two scholars passing by here, can't we even do a little favor and let them stay overnight?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Of course, it's better to be careful, and I just mentioned it casually."

"Okay!" The old patriarch waved his hand, stopped the two of them from arguing, and said, "Now the village is tight inside and outside, and the defenses have been strengthened, so we shouldn't be too cautious. We She people are hospitable, if we turn away guests, It shows that there is a problem. I have already sent someone to watch those two people, if they take action, it means that there is a problem, honestly, don’t worry too much.”

After finishing speaking, the old patriarch looked at the middle-aged man and asked: "Mr. Lu, the kindness owed to you by our She Clan of the Lei family has been repaid. I don't know when we will leave here?"

But the middle-aged man said: "Why didn't the old patriarch go to Lan Langzhong's house and ask in person?"

The old patriarch opened his mouth and sighed.

Erlei's grandfather snorted coldly, and said, "She saved some of us immortals back then, at worst she paid for it with her life now! But what you have done in Songyang County during this period makes people feel chilling and angry. Mr. Patriarch, if we are helping the tyrants, we Leishi She clan will be completely finished! You can no longer be indecisive."

"Hey..." The old patriarch sighed, his face was full of hesitation, unable to make up his mind.

Mr. Lu smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Talk slowly, please leave."

After leaving here, this Mr. Lu returned to Lang Zhong's house in the village. He came to a secluded room door and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A cold woman's voice came from inside the room. If Li Yuanfang was here, he would definitely hear that this woman was the escaped female assassin in Songyang County.

When Mr. Lu entered the room, he saw a woman whose face could not be clearly seen sitting in the hall. She was chanting scriptures, and there was a sitting statue of the envoy of the black lotus on the table in front of her. Beside her, the female assassin respectfully guarded her side.

"Holy One, the Patriarch of the Lei Clan is still hesitant, but in my opinion, he will come to see the Holy One tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, please let us leave." Mr. Lu said respectfully.

The sage of the Black Lotus Sect finally spoke: "Have you found out about it in Songyang County? Who ruined our good deed?"

Her voice was slightly old, and she sounded old from the voice.

Mr. Lu said: "This subordinate deserves death. I only found out that the four of them had mysterious origins and should have official positions. The county magistrate of Songyang County respects him very much. In terms of accent, he has a slight Kyoto accent."

"Official position...Kyoto accent...Could it be him? Didn't the news come that he went to the north?" The black lotus sage murmured, and then laughed: "Could it be that you are talking about everything? What a cunning little guy. Like his father, he is a ghost spirit."

It seemed that Emperor Xia was mentioned, and the sage of the Black Lotus Sect couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Ye Wang, Ye Wang, you were unwilling to hand over the list of spies to me when you were dying, but in the end you gave it to Emperor Xia. You are ruined, your family is ruined, and you still support you. Is this your friendship? Sure enough, the friendship of brothers is better than sleeping together."

Neither Mr. Lu nor the guarded female assassin dared to answer.

"This time the success is on the verge of failure. With the loss of such a large sum of funds, and the fact that the Black Lotus Sect is being suppressed in the Great Xia Kingdom, it seems that we should go back." Saint Yoyo said.

Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Holy One, we still have many reliable believers around, why don't we call all of them here, and kill King Xian before he leaves?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.
