Since they had not drunk the horses before when they had lunch in Shenzhou, after leaving the city, everyone found a forest with a stream flowing through them and fed the golden eagles while drinking the horses.

When feeding the golden eagle, Datou did not do it alone, but called four people to participate as usual. The reason why he dragged the four people was because the golden eagle is very wild and not as tame as a horse. No matter who feeds it, it will Just be close to whoever you are with.

People in the world often use the phrase "if you have breasts, you are a mother" to ridicule profit-seeking and have no position. In fact, if you have breasts, you are a mother, it is the common nature of all living creatures, including humans. You must be close to whoever feeds you milk. You cannot do the opposite. Get close to whoever punches and kicks you.

When the four of them were feeding Miss Bai, he took the bucket to the river to wash her. He was not worried that Miss Bai would fall in love with her when he was not there, because he had raised Miss Bai, and the others only occasionally fell in love with her. Hey, Miss Bai is the closest to him at all times, and the only function of feeding the four of them is to let Miss Bai know that they are all friends, so that when it comes to a critical moment, they can not reject their advances.

Some things must be anticipated and prepared in advance. Although the five of them have their own mounts, if an unexpected situation occurs, the mounts cannot be used with each other.

Everyone did not stay too long by the stream. After feeding the horses, they set off. Datou was reluctant to throw away the barrel and hung it on the back of Shi Xuanming's sweat-blooded horse. However, not long after setting off, Shi Xuanming discovered that the horse was running fast. When running wildly, the wooden barrel would hit the horse's buttocks with the ups and downs. If the horse felt that the barrel was in the way, he cut off the rope and threw it away.

Riding the horse ahead, leading the way, after traveling two hundred miles south, they left the official road and changed their route to the east.

The road to the east is also an official road, but it has been in disrepair and is slightly dilapidated.

This road is the old road leading to the Andong Protectorate. The Andong Protectorate was originally a government office established by the Tang Dynasty to govern border areas and foreign affairs. However, in recent years, the national power of the Tang Dynasty has declined, and some countries, including Silla, have The foreign vassals no longer came to pay tribute. Since the foreign countries no longer came, the Anton Protectorate was canceled by the imperial court.

Andong is a state, and it is also the only way for Tang Dynasty to go to Silla. Silla is to the east of Andong, and is only separated from Andong by a river.

From time to time, we could see hungry people fleeing famine on the road. Although everyone sympathized with these hungry people, they could not do anything. Previously, the emperor was imprisoned and transferred to Baoer. Qian Zhonglin and others drank poison to quench their thirst, cut out their flesh to mend their sores, and rashly imposed additional levies on Hebei Province.

This move directly caused hunger in Hebei Province and caused widespread resentment among the people. Although the Ministry of Household Affairs had been ordered to instruct local officials to return the confiscated rice grains to the people, the return would take time, and many hungry people had left their homes and fled elsewhere in order to survive. The government wanted to withdraw, but for a while they couldn't find the owner.

Shenzhou is not far from Anton, only five hundred miles away. The five people rushed eastward and arrived outside the city of Anton in the evening.

The Anton Protectorate has been abolished long ago, but Anton, as an important border town, is still a Shangzhou. Although the city is slightly dilapidated, its area is several times that of Shenzhou.

Worried that the overcrowded people in the city would expose their whereabouts, they did not all enter the city. Instead, they dismounted and entered the city with Yang Kai, leaving Big Tou and the others to find a place to stay outside the city. When they separated, they left a branch with their own spiritual energy for Big Tou and others. , after the three find their foothold, they only need to break the branches to know where they are.

Not only the walls of Andong are dilapidated and mottled, but also many of the buildings in the city are dilapidated. However, as a border city for trade between Silla and the Tang Dynasty, there are many people in the city. Although the sun has set, there are still people coming and going in the city.

Past.

In addition to buying food, this time he went to the city mainly to buy medicine. The war was imminent, and healing medicine was indispensable. He had no confidence that he would fight against the seven Japanese pirate families with the strength of five people, so he had to prepare some poisonous herbs.

, we can only try to poison if necessary.

The clothes of the people in the city are different from those of the passing merchants. Half of them are Han Chinese and the other half are foreigners. These people wearing foreign clothes are not all Silla people, a large part of them are from the Tang Dynasty.

The Korean people, but they and the Silla people both belong to the Korean tribe.

Since the Koreans and Silla people are of the same ethnic group, the Koreans can speak both Tang and Silla languages. The Han people and the Silla people do business and trade, and the Koreans are indispensable for translation and reconciliation.

There is no big difference between the appearance of the Silla people and the appearance of the Han people, except that their clothes are different, and the two of them did not go to the city to open their eyes and feel the customs, so they did not wander around, but went straight to the drug store and bought some things.

Need medicine.

Hebei Province has fertile land and abundant products. It has almost all kinds of medicines.

Everything, including some rare and rare medicines, and the prices are not high. The money bag was taken away by Batulu earlier, but everyone came out with a lot of gold and silver this time. Whenever they encounter the medicine they need, they can

Don't negotiate the price, buy it directly.

Before the second watch, the two went to three drug stores, purchased hundreds of medicines, ground them, sorted them, and packaged them separately.

At this time, night had already fallen, so I went to the coffin shop and bought a stack of yellow paper. In fact, the paper used by Taoist priests to draw talismans was similar to the yellow paper used in memorial ceremonies, but the size was different and needed to be cut separately before use.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were relatively civilized. There were fireworks and willow alleys in the slightly larger cities, with bright lights and green wine, and the singing of birds and birds. When the two passed by, they turned a deaf ear and did not look sideways. Although they did not set foot in the fireworks and willow alleys, they did not hate or dislike them either.

Because as long as Hualou doesn't force girls into prostitution, they can do whatever they want. Although it's dirty and dirty, no one has a latrine or toilet.

I bought a cutting knife and a sharpening stone from a roadside stall. I turned around and found that Yang Kai was missing. I looked around and saw Yang Kai leading a small deer from the alley. When Yang Kai came closer, he

It was discovered that what he was holding was not a fawn, but a roe deer. Spring is the season for animals to reproduce. The reason why Yang Kai bought this roe deer was because its abdomen was bulging and it was obviously pregnant.

On the way back, we bought a lot of braised food and a big bag of fire-roasted food. We also brought two jars of wine with us. We all have to rush to Silla tonight. We don’t know when we will be able to eat the next meal, so the food is not good enough.

Since there was no war at the border and there was a need for trade, the soldiers guarding the city did not close the city gate. However, they needed to bribe the soldiers to enter and leave the city at night. They did not make a fuss about it and reprimanded them. Instead, they handed over silver taels to buy a way out of the city. Soldiers are also human beings.

, you also have to support your family, so there is no need to be too serious with them. The most important thing is that the soldiers are not extorting money for no reason. It is also convenient to collect money. If you don't want to pay the money to buy the road, then wait until the day of the next day.

The same goes for entering the city.

As early as when the two of them were buying medicine from the city, Datou and others used the spiritual energy token to inform the location of the three of them. After leaving the city, Yang Kai untied the rope and let the roe deer go. The two of them rushed there with large and small bags on their shoulders.

The woods south of the city.

When they arrived at the end of the field, they discovered that the three of them were looking for the whereabouts.

The place we set foot was an abandoned village. Yizhuang was naturally not a good place, but we couldn't blame Datou and others for finding a bad place, because there weren't many places outside the city that could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Since Anton was originally the seat of the Protectorate, it was an out-and-out Shangzhou, so the abandoned Yizhuang in front of us occupies a large area. However, because it had been abandoned for a long time, all the side rooms on both sides and the back hall at the back had collapsed.

, and now only the main hall originally used to store the coffins remains.

However, there were no coffins in the main room at this time, and there were several signs of burning bonfires in the main room. It was obvious that they were not the only ones who were brave, as there were also people who had rested here before everyone else.

There was a lot of firewood piled up in the middle of the hall, but it was not lit. The firewood was naturally collected by Datou and others. The reason why it was not lit was because the three of them were not sure whether they were allowed to light the bonfire. After all, lighting a bonfire could easily reveal their whereabouts.

After Datou and others took over the things they brought back with Yang Kai, they activated the pure Yang spiritual energy to light the firewood, and then said casually, "Eat something and rest early. We will leave at the fourth watch to avoid people's eyes and ears."

The braised food they brought back included not only two packs of braised pork but also several braised chickens. Everyone in the group had one in each hand, eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking from big bowls. At this time, hungry people in Hebei Province were everywhere and they were starving to eat. At this time, everyone on our side was eating and drinking like this.

It seems quite inappropriate, but regardless of that, everyone on our side has to bear heavy responsibilities, put themselves in danger, go through life and death, and it is unlucky to say that they may die at any time, so we cannot treat these brothers badly.

While Datou and others were eating, they took out their cutting knives and started to cut the talisman paper. The eight major families of the Japanese pirates were not in vain. Only one of them was already very hard for everyone to deal with. Seven of them came together. He was really unsure. He had never cast spells before.

, this time has to be taken into consideration, and more talismans must be prepared.

Just after cutting the talisman paper and preparing to sort out the various medicines purchased earlier, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Datou and others also heard someone outside the house, and they all turned to look at the door.

Not long after, a ragged old man appeared at the door and said, "Masters, please do your best and have a drink."

"Come on, come in." Datou waved to him.
