When Duan Wuji and Tieniu followed the Quzhou magistrate to the magistrate's yamen, the sun had already set, and dozens of officials at the yamen's gate had already been waiting anxiously. When these people saw the imperial envoy and they came back, they rushed over.
These people took everyone's horses and brought them to a horse yard next to the Yamen to feed them.
The prefect of Quzhou looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said, "My lords, please come inside. It's getting late now, let's hurry in."
Duan Wuji and Tieniu were not polite either, they followed the Quzhou prefect and went straight to the lobby!
The two of them walked into the lobby and sat down on the right seats. Seeing that the two of them had finished, the Quzhou magistrate hurriedly ordered someone to bring up the fragrant tea.
Everyone talked a few irrelevant gossips together, but the Quzhou magistrate said to the officers: "It's getting late now, why hasn't the banquet at Wangxianlou been delivered yet, any of you should go and have a look!
If they are too slow, try to hurry them, my lord, they have already traveled all day, I guess they have not even eaten lunch.
If they dawdle any longer, be careful that I won't settle accounts for them properly then! "
Just as the guard was about to run out, another guard walked in.
"Report to the magistrate, the guy from Wangxian Tower has brought the banquet, and they are waiting outside!"
"Then why don't they let them in! Tell the yamen servants to arrange the tables and chairs immediately, and let's start the banquet immediately after the tables and chairs are arranged.
Everyone, Huiren, let's not be idle, let's all start! "
When the prefect of Quzhou said this, the sitting officials immediately stood up. These people moved the table and moved the table, and those who took the chair took the chair. The time was not too long, and everything was tidied up.
The restaurant guy brought in dozens of food boxes from outside and opened them.
Plates of dishes were quickly put on the table, and the banquet was ready in a short time.
The restaurant clerk moved the empty food box back outside the door and waited. The prefect of Quzhou said with a smile: "You two imperial envoys, you have worked hard on this journey. Today, I will serve you wine to wash away the dust.
Two adults, please sit down quickly! "
Duan Wuji and Tie Niu were not polite either, they sat down on the main seat.
Duan Wuji looked at these officials and said: "Everyone sit down! After eating, nothing will happen."
After hearing this, the officials found their seats and sat down.
There are five tables in total for this banquet!
The prefect of Quzhou filled Duan Wuji and the others with wine.
"You two imperial envoys, come on, I will serve you wine to clean up the dust today, let's drink this bowl of wine first!
Dear adults! Come on, let's toast the two imperial envoys together. "
After hearing this, all the officials raised their wine bowls one after another.
"Master Imperial Envoy, thank you for coming to our place to help us get rid of this giant snake. I wish you can successfully remove this scourge for us and restore peace to our place!"
Duan Wuji smiled slightly after hearing this.
"In addition to the giant snake, everyone needs to work together. Everyone must not drink too much today!
Tomorrow morning, let's go to the field to inspect it together. Whether we can kill this snake depends on whether everyone works hard.
If anyone dares to make a mistake because of alcohol, don't say that I will turn my face and be ruthless at that time! "
The officials laughed and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, don't worry, we only drink this bowl of wine, and we will never cause trouble tomorrow!"
"Well, that's fine!
Dear colleagues, let's sit down and eat! "
Duan Wuji and Tie Niu often eat this kind of luxurious banquet, and they have long been accustomed to all this. They didn't eat at noon, and they were already starving!
The two picked up the chopsticks and ate for a while. When they were full, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu put down the chopsticks.
When the officials saw that the imperial envoy had put down his chopsticks and ate in a hurry, they stopped eating more.
The prefect of Quzhou looked at Duan Wuji and the two of them and said: "You two imperial envoys, let's go, follow me to the back yamen to rest, let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do!"
Duan Wuji and Tieniu followed the prefect of Quzhou to a small courtyard in Houyali.
The prefect of Quzhou sent them to the house and said a few words.nbsp;A few guards agreed, and urged the horses to go straight to the small village. It was not too long, and a dozen young mountain people followed, and after a while, several old men and children followed. up.
These mountain people have never seen such a big world! When they saw these people, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and licked their heads.
"Grassman greets all my lords, my lords, you must help us get rid of this giant snake as soon as possible!
This giant snake is so huge, it is too frightening. According to the old people in the family, this cockscomb snake is very cunning. Once it eats people, it will not eat anything else in the future No, once it is hungry again, it will come here and eat people again.
Such a big giant snake, who do you think can deal with it!
In the past, our village and nearby villages often lost pigs, sheep and calves. People thought they were stolen and eaten by someone, but it turned out that they were harmed by that animal!
My lord, you must do good deeds so that you can save the people of Limin near us!
For so many days, we were so scared that we dared not go out, for fear of being buried in the belly of a snake! "
After hearing this, Duan Wuji quickly said: "We are here this time to get rid of it. If the snake is not removed, we people will not leave."
An old man in his seventies came over, looked at Duan Wuji and said: "My lord, this cockscomb snake learns to crow in the middle of the night, but in fact it is also hunting.
When other animals heard the rooster crowing, shouldn't they run over to eat the rooster? Once the fox or something heard the sound, it would be eaten by it instantly.
After this giant snake is used to eating people, the reason why it is unwilling to hunt other prey is that it is human meat, which is particularly delicious!
Compared with those foxes and rabbits, human beings are bigger and easier to hunt!
After all, which four-legged animals don't run special! This human being is different, it runs slower, and it is easier to succeed!
If the snake is not removed, it will eat up the people in this village sooner or later!
My lord, please do me a favor and save us! "
Duan Wuji listened and nodded.
"Old man, don't worry, if we don't remove this thing, we will never go back. I think you should go back. How to get rid of this snake is up to us."
Duan Wuji looked at the young mountain people and said, "Let's go, you can lead us to see the snake path!"
Duan Wuji said to the arresters: "Pull out a few of your sabers and give them some self-defense. Once we are looking at the snake path, if it happens to come out, it will be very dangerous. It's very dangerous, if you don't even have a guy in your hand, it's almost the same as waiting to die!"
Duan Wuji said: "The arresters immediately pulled out seven or eight waist knives and handed them over."
These mountain people got weapons, and their courage suddenly became stronger again.
Duan Wuji said to the prefect of Quzhou and the others: "You go back to the village, it will be safer there, and we will go to the village to find you after we finish the survey.
What will happen then, let's discuss it in detail! "
Duan Wuji and Tieniu jumped off their horses and said to the guards: "Take our horses to the village too, we will come as soon as we go!"
After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji pulled out his saber abruptly, Tieniu thought for a while and took off his carved bow from the horse, and took off the quiver and hung it on his waist. Tie Niu took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and then followed the mountain folks to the small bamboo forest in the west!
This small bamboo forest is not very far away from them, it is about a hundred or so feet away. These people cautiously ran straight to that bamboo forest.
When they arrived at the side of the bamboo grove, a few mountain people bravely led them in. After walking fourteen or five feet in, they saw a snake path with a width of four or five feet. Headed into the distance.
Those villagers pointed with their fingers.
"My lord, have you seen it? The winding road in front of you is where the snake crawled out. Look how scary it is!"
Duan Wuji looked at it and said: "Well! This snake is indeed not small, it must be three sizes bigger than that big urn!
If it wasn't so thick, it wouldn't have crawled out of such a wide snake path!
Ordinary snakes crawl forward, and the snake path it crawls out of is five or six times wider than its body. Judging from this estimate, this long worm is indeed about to mature!
All of you, go back, if you go any further, it will indeed be dangerous enough for you! "
"Second adults, why, don't you go back with us?"
Tieniu shook his head.
"Let's not go back now, let's go inside and have a look again! Let me tell you, if others are afraid of this stinky long bug, we brothers have a way to deal with it, and we brothers don't take it seriously !
You guys go out quickly, we brothers can rest assured after you go out!
If that snake appears now, to be honest, the two of us really have no ability to protect you! "
After hearing this, the mountain people went back without saying a word.
Seeing that they all went out, the two brothers were completely relieved. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com), For you people, that is indeed dangerous enough! "
"Second adults, why, don't you go back with us?"
Tieniu shook his head.
"Let's not go back now, let's go inside and have a look again! Let me tell you, if others are afraid of this stinky long bug, we brothers have a way to deal with it, and we brothers don't take it seriously !
