Chapter 153 Longfeng County

The army walked in the wilderness for five or six days, and the exhaustion was written on their faces.

They rested for a day in Wenqiu County before continuing their journey.

According to Nangong Shan's wishes, they must ensure that they are in excellent condition to face Qiancheng Pavilion.

Xiao Wuji did not object. Waiting for work is a strategy. Qiancheng Pavilion has been waiting at Baijiang. Their army has been marching for days and they must not deal with it with an exhausted army.

The next day, the army ate well and drank well, and continued their march.

Marching in the city is not as good as in the wilderness, the roads are narrow, people's livelihood has to be taken into consideration, and the speed is much slower.

But every night, the army could eat enough and drink enough water. The conditions were much better than marching in the wilderness.

For two days, the mighty 50,000-strong army finally crossed the boundary of Wenqiu County and arrived at Longfeng County.

Nangongshan did not ask the county magistrate to accompany him, but asked Yu Guangli to take him with him. After all, he was not here for a sightseeing tour, and he did not want to follow the truth.

Looking at the stone standing aside with the words "Longfeng County" written on it, Li Feibai couldn't help but step forward and touch it.

"I've been away from home for many days, and I'm finally back."

Looking at his emotional expression, Nangongshan couldn't help but secretly thought: Judging from your behavior all the time, there seems to be no problem, but why can't you find your ancestral home in Shennan Village?

"Your Majesty, let's go into the city for a walk?" Li Feibai really wanted to take Nangongshan to visit Longfeng County.

After hesitating for a moment, Nangongshan was afraid that if he was ambushed by Qiancheng Pavilion, wouldn't it be dangerous?

Seeing his concerns, Xiao Wuji said: "Your Majesty, brother Tianchong and I will accompany you, and the Black Dragon Guard will follow behind, so everything is safe."

The reason why Xiao Wuji said this was of course keeping Nangong Ding's instructions in mind:

When we arrive at Longfeng County, we must seize the opportunity to control the "Bai Feili" family in the hands of the Black Dragon Guards, and must not fall into the hands of the people from King Qi's camp.

This order even takes priority over assisting Nangong Mountain in pacifying Qiancheng Pavilion.

Therefore, of course he would not let Li Feibai leave his sight.

"Well, marching for days is boring, so it's not a bad idea to go in and take a walk." Nangongshan said with a smile.

Xiao Wuji led one hundred Black Dragon Guards, together with Lin Tianchong, Yu Guangli, and Mo Fugui, and followed Li Feibai into the county town.

The rest of the army is on standby.

Although the city is not as prosperous as Jinglin, it is small and well-equipped with all the merchants and shops that it should have.

"Look, my lord, this mung bean cake shop is famous in Longfeng County. It only opens for one hour every day. The boss only makes a hundred catties a day. To buy it, you have to make a reservation several days in advance."

Li Feibai pointed at a store that had not yet opened and said.

Everyone listened to his introduction and couldn't help but nod.

"And here, this is the only butcher shop in the county. Although the quality of the meat sold by the boss is not as good as that of our imperial city, the rich people in the county have no choice. If they want to eat meat, they can only buy it here, so

Business is also booming.”

Following his introduction, Nangongshan's face gradually showed a happy smile.

Seeing that he was so familiar with Longfeng County, most of his doubts were put aside.

"This is a gold, silver and jade shop. It is said that the master craftsman inside can carve a mosquito out of gold, silver and jade. His craftsmanship is very exquisite." Li Feibai continued his introduction.

"Fei Li, do you know all the three bosses?"

Nangongshan seemed to ask casually, but in fact he wanted to test further.

His intention was very clear, he wanted Li Feibai to come up and talk to him and prove that he was indeed an acquaintance from Longfeng County.

How could Li Feibai not know this? He responded calmly: "The prince is joking. How can I, a country boy, afford mung bean cakes and meat, let alone gold, silver, and jade?"

"So, you don't know the people in these three stores?" Nangongshan's doubts arose again.

After all, these introductory words from Li Feibai can be memorized in advance.

"I don't know." Li Feibai replied immediately without hiding anything.

"Why, does the prince want to buy mung bean cakes or gold and silver jewelry?" He pretended not to know.

Hearing this, Nangongshan had no choice but to follow his words: "I've been marching for days and want to eat something different. Since Fei Li doesn't know me, let's forget it."

"My lord, you cannot eat mung bean cake due to your condition."

"Forget it, let's move on." Nangongshan said with a smile.

Everyone followed Li Feibai's footsteps and listened to his introductions. They had a general understanding of the customs and customs of Longfeng County.

At this time, when he came to a rice shop, Li Feibai stopped and smiled on his face.

A spirited young man in the shop was very busy. Li Feibai stepped forward and suddenly patted the case.

"Xiao Yi!"

The young man was startled by the cry and turned his head to get angry. When he saw Li Feibai, his expression changed from anger to joy.

"Fei Li?"

"It's me."

The two held hands and laughed, as if they were best friends reunited after a long separation.

"I haven't seen you exchanging game meat for rice for so long. I thought you were dead." Xiao Yi punched Li Feibai on the chest.

"The King of Hell thought I was lonely on the road, so he specially asked me to take you with him to taste Meng Po Soup." Li Feibai said with a smile.

"Damn it, I haven't even touched the girl's butt, so I don't want to die like this." Xiao Yi's words were a bit vulgar, which fit the look of a village man.

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to the Imperial City to join your distant relative? Why are you back?" Xiao Yi then asked.

Smiling slightly, Li Feibai glanced at everyone behind him and replied: "It's a long story. I'll explain it to you when I have the opportunity in the future."

Nodding, Xiao Yi did not ask any more questions, but looked carefully at Li Feibai up and down.

"Tsk, tsk, this person who has been around in the imperial city is indeed different. Look at you, you are dressed in fine clothes, you are no different from someone from a wealthy family. If you hadn't called me just now, I almost wouldn't have recognized you."

"Come on, stop talking so much. Where is your boss? You should say hello to him when you come back."

"The accounts are being settled inside. Just wait a moment and I'll call him." Xiao Yi walked into the inner hall.

Nangongshan and Xiao Wuji looked sideways at all this, with different thoughts in their minds.

Nangongshan, who had been bullied by King Zhao for many years, finally acquired an amazing prodigy, but found that Li Feibai's abilities were beyond imagination and everything seemed unreasonable, so he was eager to prove that it was okay to "waste gifts".

And Xiao Wuji only followed Nangong Ding's order to bring Li Feibai's family back to Qingyi Division. To a certain extent, if he was really used by Nangong Ding, Xiao Wuji's status would be threatened to some extent.

Therefore, deep down in his heart, he hoped that there would be something wrong with the "wasted gift".

"Fei Li, do you know them?" At this time, the smile on Nangongshan's face was very gentle.

"Your Majesty, the rural village where I live is a secluded village, almost isolated from the world. There are not many people there, and they all live a primitive life. We don't have much money, so we can only hunt some birds and animals to come to the county seat.

I got some rice in exchange, and after going back and forth, I became familiar with the people in this rice shop."

"That's it!" Nangongshan was almost relieved.

It has to be said that Li Feibai is extremely cautious about details.

The previous three shops, Mung Bean Cake, Butcher Shop and Gold, Silver and Jade Shop, were beyond the reach of a country boy. If you knew the people inside, it would inevitably make everyone suspicious.

As for this rice shop, with the legitimate reason of exchanging prey for rice, it is natural for them to recognize each other.
