After the fairy disappeared

As the sun went westward, He Lingchuan and the others finally saw a town on the high hill ahead.

Dong Rui happily slapped his horse's butt: "Here, here, here, isn't this the time?"

"No." He Lingchuan looked left and right, "We are going to Jishi Village. Does this look like a village to you?"

"There are big and small villages." In fact, Dong Rui also realized it at this time, but he still subconsciously argued, "The biggest village I have ever seen has thousands of households, which is comparable to a town."

"Tch, I've been leading you the wrong way for three days. Can you be more reliable?"

Dong Rui is also aggrieved. In this unfamiliar place, isn't it common for people to take the wrong path? And if he doesn’t hire a guide, can you blame him?

The ghost monkey suddenly pointed at the green crops on both sides of the road and chirped twice.

"Yes, this is all peanut land." Dong Rui nodded, "This town is in trouble with peanuts. I'll buy you and Lingguang some snacks later."

You're all here, let's go into town to replenish supplies.

When the two walked in, they discovered that the place was very large and there were many buildings. What they had seen under the post before was just a small corner.

This is clearly a city!

"There is a bun shop..." Dong Rui was halfway through his words, but no one around him followed him.

Dong Rui turned around and saw He Lingchuan parked on the side of the road, looking at the reward notice on the wall.

His eyes were a little surprised.

This earthen wall is almost covered with wanted posters. When the wind blows, the yellow paper rustles, which is very desolate.

The passers-by behind did not come around to take a look, as if they had become accustomed to it. There was another sentence floating in the air, and I don’t know who muttered it: "Good people don’t live long, hey..."

"Hey, you see a familiar face again?"

Dong Rui just asked casually, but He Lingchuan nodded: "It's true."

"Which one?" How could he forget that this guy is a rebellious guy, and he has a few rebellious friends who don't seem to be out of line at all?

He Lingchuan pointed to one of the portraits: "Him."

As for portraits, the brushwork is usually very abstract, and it would be nice to be able to distinguish between men and women. But there is a scar on this man's neck, which is also drawn, which is a characteristic.

Dong Rui looked at his name again: "Situ He?"

The explanation in the reward is that this man is the son of the bandit, a very vicious man, a Gaopu countryman, and anyone who knows the information will receive a reward of ten taels; if he can be caught and brought to justice, regardless of life or death, the reward will be a hundred taels!

This is a big reward.

"The son of the bandit?" Dong Rui asked curiously, "Hey, this man's surname is Situ. Isn't that where we are going..."

Surprised, he did not forget to lower his voice. It's not appropriate to discuss these things on the street.

He Lingchuan hummed, the place they were going to was the Situ family.

The Situ family should be a powerful local emperor in this area, but he didn't expect that Situ He would actually become a wanted criminal, with portraits hanging everywhere.

There are too many strange things happening in the Golden Plains, so his information probably needs to be updated.

"The wanted notice didn't say what he had committed."

The wanted notice for Concubine Mei that they saw in the former country listed the crime of "conspiracy to poison the royal relatives"; but why was Situ He convicted?

Not mentioned at all.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "The son of the bandit, isn't this a crime?" It seems that the "guilty" person is Situ He's father.

The two walked towards the bun shop, and Dong Rui asked again: "The wanted criminal in the portrait is an acquaintance of yours, are you sure?"

"Situ He does have a scar on his neck, just like the portrait, and I also know that he was indeed born in Gaopu Kingdom." The name, characteristics, and origin are all correct, so the chance of admitting his mistake should be very small. "This should be the result of my visit to Lingxu Palace. I’m an old acquaintance from school, and the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce’s business around here is also done with his family. I just don’t understand how, after being a good general, Situ He was posted on the wall here and turned into the son of a bandit?”

Situ He was one of the students he met at Lingxu Imperial College, and he often kept company with foreign dignitaries Jin Zhen and others. At that time, He Lingchuan only knew that he was the son of the general of Gaopu Kingdom, but he did not know where this country was——

At that time, He Lingchuan didn't even know the location of the Gold Flash Plains, and of course he didn't care about the small countries on the Gold Flash Plains.

How many romantic figures are gathered in Lingxu City Imperial College? At least half of them are queens of famous families from all over the world. Situ He's family background is inconspicuous among them, and he rarely mentions it himself.

He is very diligent, has good grades, and is insightful. But he is not a talkative person. Usually Jin Zhen, Zheng Zewu and others are the ones in the front, while Situ He stays silently aside.

However, Situ He could open up a conversation after drinking too much and discuss the heroes of the world with He Lingchuan and others.

According to He Lingchuan's observation, this man has a very good character, but he is a bit stubborn. As long as he decides on something, eight horses can't pull him back, and he doesn't care if he hits his head and gets bleeding.

Unlike Zheng Zewu and other students who only wanted to stay in Lingxu City, Situ He uttered the truth after drinking several times, and promised He Lingchuan that he would return to his hometown and change the poverty and poverty there.

That's where He Lingchuan's feet are now.

Only by personal experience can one understand the chaos of the Shining Gold Plains and how difficult it is for Situ He's dream to come true.

Situ He's bold words are still in his ears, why has he become a wanted criminal?

Dong Rui blurted out: "Did his father rebel?"

"possible."

In the Golden Flash Plains, if his family hadn't been rich and powerful, how would Situ He have the chance to go to Lingxu City for further studies and see the world? The ups and downs of his life are probably tied to his family.

He Lingchuan sighed when he first heard the news about his old friend in this environment.

"When I saw this wanted poster, I knew we were indeed lost."

What they are going to is the territory of the Situ family! There is a wanted notice for Situ He posted here, which is certainly not their destination.

But you’re here, let’s find something to eat before leaving.

There are people selling boiled peanuts and salted peanuts everywhere here. It seems that this is the local specialty, so the two of them are craving for peanuts.

When I entered the steamed stuffed bun shop, I noticed that the shop was small and actually sold eleven or twelve kinds of steaming hot food. One of them was full of pan-fried cakes.

"Bring me two plates full of pan-fried cakes." There was only one small wooden table in the store, so the two of them simply sat down and ate.

This thing is different from the cooking cakes that He Lingchuan has eaten before. It is two fingers wide and has a honeycomb shape inside. When you take a bite, it is fluffy and fluffy. Inside is peanut, sesame, lard and sugar filling, which is sweet and moist.

Not too greasy, just right.

Pair it with a large bowl of peanut and mung bean soup. The mung beans should be boiled to bloom, and the peanuts should be able to float. It's so refreshing!

Of course, eating sweets in this kind of place is also the most expensive.

Master Sun likes sweets, and he has gone shopping with her a lot, and He Lingchuan's taste has long since changed from resistance to acceptance.

Dong Rui didn't like this one, so he only ordered scallion pancakes and big buns with peanut sprouts and egg filling.
