Chapter 173 Heading to Nanyang
Chapter 173 Heading to Nanyang
Zi Lan Xuan, early the next morning.
A carriage moved slowly, with two horses in front. As the coachman waved the whip, the horses pulled the carriage slowly away and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mu Feng went to Nanyang in the open, in a swaggering manner, while Han Fei conducted secret intelligence communications in the dark. Wei Zhuang guarded him and controlled the news through the Qi Jue Hall.
Zhang Liang continued to look up information and search for information about Nanyang to find evidence.
The carriage was running on the driveway. Mu Feng lifted the curtain and observed everything around him. It had been a long time since he went out, so it would be nice to relax occasionally.
Draw the curtain and look back into the car.
In the carriage, Mu Feng sat upright, Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji sat beside Mu Feng respectively. Two different fragrances came, intertwined together, filling the entire carriage.
The purple girl was wearing a gradient long-sleeved water skirt with a layer of dark purple gauze on her chest that fit tightly against her graceful body. Her long purple hair was scattered and tied up with a ribbon and three silver hairpins. A strand of black hair hung down on both sides of her forehead, making her look cool and elegant.
Yan Lingji was wearing a dark red long dress with alternating red and black colors. She had taken off her fiery red wrist guards and armor, and had a red ribbon wrapped around her shoulders. Her jet-black hair draped behind her, revealing her fair and lovely face, which highlighted her unparalleled beauty.
As for why they were brought along, Nanyue and Honglian were responsible for the intelligence on Madam Mingzhu and couldn't get away.
Zi Nu has been in Korea for many years and is very familiar with Nanyang. Moreover, after Zi Lan Xuan changed its business model, Zi Nu no longer has to work so hard.
Zi Lan Xuan can be completely handed over to the two sisters, Mrs. Hu and Lady Hu, to manage. They all want to live an ordinary life, and under Zi Nu's guidance, they have completely adapted to it.
Spending time with Mu Feng and these people every day makes me feel satisfied.
In this way, Zi Nu will have time and energy to accompany Mu Feng to Nanyang to face the Emerald Tiger.
Yan Lingji, needless to say, her current interest is bullying Honglian. Mu Feng is coming to Nanyang, and Yan Lingji is Tianze's contact person.
Besides, there is nothing to do in Zilanxuan, so accompanying Mu Feng to relax is also a good choice.
The carriage kept shaking and the three people were swaying. There was nothing they could do. The roads were all mountain roads and they were dry. They could only endure the bumps.
If it rains, the road will be full of rainwater, which might be even more troublesome. This makes Mu Feng miss the modern asphalt roads, which are at least flat and not torturous.
With two beauties at his side, Mu Feng would definitely not miss a good opportunity. He rested his head on Zi Nu's thigh, slightly tilted his body, feeling the fragrance coming from Zi Nu's body, and felt intoxicated again.
Resting my legs lightly on Yan Lingji's jade legs, feeling the silky smoothness of her jade-white skin, it was simply a divine enjoyment.
Zi Nu glanced at the lazy Mu Feng with disdain. She really didn't consider herself an outsider. In the end, she softened her heart, put down her slender hands, and gave Mu Feng a careful massage.
Yan Lingji smiled charmingly. She knew Mu Feng's habits best. She tickled Mu Feng's legs playfully and gave him a massage just like Zi Nu did.
The two women looked at each other, and saw a hint of helplessness and full of pampering in their eyes.
The carriage was warm and Mu Feng smiled gently. At least Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji got along very well.
Nanyang, close to the border of Qin State, is a place that is fought over by military strategists of both Han and Qin State. Han State firmly controls Nanyang in its own hands, and Qin State is also eyeing Nanyang covetously as its military is at its peak.
Nanyang has fertile land and the economy has developed quite well due to the presence of Korean troops. It is located at the border between countries and is not inferior to Xinzheng in terms of military, politics or economy.
Not to mention, Nanyang has been the focus of various countries since ancient times. Now Qin attaches importance to Nanyang, which means that Nanyang is the springboard for Qin's external conquests, and it starts the conquest from this point.
That's why the disaster in Nanyang was so serious that King Han An was so uneasy. Nanyang was too important, so important that even King Han An did not dare to take it lightly.
The carriage continued to bump along the road. Xinzheng seemed not far from Nanyang, but in fact it would take four hours even if driving.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky. After an unknown amount of time, the territory of Nanyang appeared in the sight of the carriage. Mu Feng sat up and pulled down the curtain.
The surroundings are in ruins. Today's Nanyang is completely different from the prosperous Xinzheng. The crops are barren and everywhere is a desolate scene. Although it is not as horrific as the thousands of miles of starving people, I have seen countless people starving to death on the ground along the way.
Because of the disaster, the once prosperous Nanyang has lost its former prosperity and is now in ruins.
The people were so hungry that they fell to the ground and could only wait to die. The women could only cry silently, and the children were starving to death.
The rain kept falling, the sound of falling raindrops, the groans of the old man, the crying of the children, and the cursing of the men all intertwined into one.
Zi Nu looked unbearable and said angrily, "What on earth caused such a disaster? Nanyang is almost turning into purgatory."
Yan Lingji no longer had her former playfulness and charm, and there was only deep sadness in her heart. She was obviously thinking of the pain of the past. A tear fell, accompanied by the reluctance in her heart.
Mu Feng stretched out his hands and gently hugged Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji to express his comfort.
Then he ordered the coachman to stop, and Mu Feng walked out of the carriage. The rain was dripping on his body, but he was completely unaware of it.
Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji looked at each other and followed Mu Feng. Although they didn't know why Mu Feng stopped, they would not doubt Mu Feng's actions.
Mu Feng got off the carriage and went straight to the farmland. He bent down, gently picked up the rice with his right hand, and looked lost in thought. He applied a little force with two fingers of his right hand, and the rice was instantly crushed.
As raindrops fell, abnormal white smoke rose from the farmland. Mu Feng lowered his head and carefully examined the seedlings. He soon discovered that the roots of the seedlings were not the normal color of crops.
Instead, it was black, like being burned by fire. Mu Feng guessed in his mind that the same method was used.
Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji came to Mu Feng at the same time, and Zi Nu asked, "Did you find anything here?"
Zi Nu is also a smart person. Mu Feng’s behavior is abnormal, so she may have discovered something.
Mu Feng didn't say anything, but showed them what he had in his hand.
Yan Lingji's expression changed and she said, "How is it possible? The roots are actually like being burned by flames and turned black."
Yan Lingji is good at using fire. She knew something was very wrong at just one glance.
Mu Feng nodded: "This is the reason why there is a disaster in Nanyang. It has clearly rained, which is very beneficial for the growth of crops, but now there is nothing to harvest, and all the crops have died in the fields."
Zi Nu asked in doubt: "There are traces of burning at the roots. What method could achieve this level?"
