All the drought and locust plagues were avoided by luck here. Liaocheng, Dongchang Prefecture City, was originally a canal node, and Linqingzhou was even more prosperous and huge city in the north. Moreover, Dongchang Prefecture is the smallest among the six prefectures in Shandong. After all calculations, it is not surprising that it can look like this.

In the Liaocheng, Dongchangfucheng, there are also people's livelihoods that look normal and there are business inns. Zhao Jin and his group rested there for a day, supplemented the supplement at a very reasonable price, and then continued to go north to rush.

Time is actually very tight, and it takes half a month to go on the road, but when you set out on the third day of the first lunar month, the exam will start in February. Even if you only think about the past and experience, you have to arrive in advance to make some preparations.

After leaving Liaocheng, everyone relaxed a lot. Some young servants took a nap in the daytime, but Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing did not restrain themselves. They were nervous for nearly ten days, and they should have relaxed for a few days. They may not be complete along the way, but they are better than this section of Jiningzhou.

I originally planned to rest for a night in Weijiawan, but as soon as I settled down, I found that there were several groups of people in the town of Weijiawan, who were ill-behaved, but after strengthening their vigilance, the other party stopped. Even so, just as dawn the next day, Zhao Jin's team still drew their sheaths and treaded their bows, left quickly, and headed straight for Linqingzhou.

Sure enough, Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing decided to add to the matter and decided to replenish supplies in the towns during the day and camp in the wild at night. If you choose to stay in villages and towns, even if no one is malicious, it is too easy to leave traces. This time, you must be sure of it. Whether you are comfortable along the way is secondary. The key is that there is no risk.

Starting from Weijiawan and heading to Linqingzhou, Zhao Jin's team was a little anxious. When the sun was west, he had already arrived outside Linqing City.

The canal surface was frozen strong, but horses could not be allowed to walk on the ice. Linqing City was on the east bank of the canal. Zhao Jin and the others chose to walk on the west bank. Xuzhou was already cold and was moving north again. On the horse, the wind was biting, and the mounts were covered with felt, and people also wore felt hats covering their faces.

You can ride a horse on the road, but you can't run too fast when you get close to the city, otherwise it will be too eye-catching. This is also a kind of rest for the mount. When you walk here, Zhao Jin simply leads the horse and walks, breaks open the hard-mouthed buns in his arms and feeds the horses, so that the mount can eat some hard materials and replenish the energy consumed.

The two sides of the canal outside Linqing City and Qingjiangpu are not very different, and they are also bustling and lively. At first glance, they are a place that has never suffered from natural disasters. Zhao Jin and others inadvertently slow down to see the rich scene that is very different from Nanzhili.

As we were walking, we heard the gongs and drums on the other side of the river, and there were waves of silk and bamboos, and then the sound of people was rumbling, and many people were chanting the same sentence loudly there.

Such movements made Zhao Jin and the others subconsciously nervous and alert. They put their hands on their weapons and were ready to get on the horse immediately. However, they realized that the noise was not directed at them. They could see that the people and civilians on the canal crossed the river directly on the ice and ran to the other side.

Looking at the direction of the sound from afar, some people were wearing colorful clothes, holding various flags and banners in front, and some people were holding incense, and some people were ringing gongs to open the way. They just walked along the street. Many of the people who ran over knelt down and kowtowed on the street.

This was the first time Zhao Jin and his friends saw such a scene from south to north. They were curious and couldn't help but stop and look around.

"Isn't this similar to the Lantern Festival parade in our country?" a young servant couldn't help but say.

As soon as he said that, Wang Zhaojing turned his head and glared fiercely. The clerk immediately lowered his head. Zhao Jin was so quick and grabbed a person who had run by and asked, "What are you doing over there? It's so lively?"

The man was caught in his thirties, but he looked like an ordinary local resident. He seemed very impatient when he was grabbed. However, Zhao Jin covered his face with a felt hat, looked powerful and powerful man, and the momentum he had lived with for a long time, he immediately shocked the person. He didn't dare to be anxious. He said obediently: "Master is from outside, today the Holy Aunt is blessed, and the villagers are rushing over to receive some blessings, and this year will be smooth."

When he noticed the followers and horses behind Zhao Jin, the resident subconsciously turned the title into "Master", Zhao Jin was stunned and repeated, "Saint Aunt?"

"Your Maitreya doesn't know. Before Maitreya came to the age of the world, I sent the saint aunt to spread good fortune. We have caused disasters and epidemics in the past few years in the Qing Dynasty, and we have to rely on the treatment of this saint aunt to maintain it. Let's go there together, spend money to burn incense, and you will have good fortune." The resident persuaded Zhao to come in instead.

When Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing heard the sayings of "Maitreya came to the world" and "burning incense", they suddenly realized. Wang Zhaojing whispered "Zheng Quan". Zhao Jin nodded. In such an occasion, he must not say anything about the incense smelling sect, so as not to cause trouble.

"The saint is here, the saint is here. Master is good, let the young man go there, otherwise he will not be able to squeeze in." The resident finally became a little impatient.

The singing of the union across the river was louder. Many people bowed down and could see an eight-person shoulder chariot carrying a wooden pavilion. There was a gauze hanging around the wooden pavilion. There seemed to be a woman in colorful clothes sitting upright. There were young guards around the shoulder chariot. There were also women carrying flower baskets on the outside. The people on both sides paid silver and money with these women. After receiving an incense stick, they knelt down with their hands, and they were even more pious.

Zhao Jin let go of his hand, and the resident was about to run over quickly. Wang Zhaojing took out a small string of copper coins and threw them over. The resident answered with great gratitude. He kept running over and fell on the ice, causing Zhao Jin and his team to laugh.

"We are leaving, our team of people are eye-catching. Who would have thought that the Winter Sorcerer has such a big force here, and it is safe to go out quickly." Zhao Jin greeted everyone.

Everyone agreed in unison, and each of them turned their horses on their backs. Zhao Jin shook the reins and walked forward. He couldn't walk too quickly or too fast at the beginning, otherwise it would be too eye-catching again.

"Brother, Zheng Quan once said that the Wenxiang Sect likes to find some lonely young women to pretend to be saints, and obtain them as an allusion of fairies descending to earth. They bring out one, and with a few experts in preaching, they can quickly take over the prefectures and counties and put away large amounts of offerings. But they didn't expect that there were also wealthy places like Linqingzhou, and they were able to achieve such greatness. I don't know how much money they could get out." Wang Zhaojing walked beside Zhao Jin and chatted casually.

Although Zhao Jin's horse team was not moving fast at this time, they had already dispersed and were ready for the battle. Zhao Jin was not nervous, but said in a muffled voice: "Shandong is the foundation of the Scented Incense Sect. Their roots are in the East Three Prefectures, and they are constantly absorbing believers from the West Three Prefectures and constantly accumulating strength."

"There will be rebelled in all dynasties and dynasties in the end. Seeing that Wenxiang Sect is going on this path, I don't know when it will be launched." Wang Zhaojing sighed.

Zhao Jin smiled, the felt hat was covered with frost. He said in a muffled voice: "I guess I'm going to come to our Xuzhou, and I'll have to touch it again at that time."

After saying this, Zhao Jin waved his hand and signaled the team to speed up slightly. He turned his head and looked at the team that had already gone away. The shoulder chariot that was higher than the people was very conspicuous. Zhao Jin was always very curious about new matters. At this time, he felt a little regretful and felt that he had not looked at it carefully.

But no matter how curious he was, he could clearly distinguish the importance of it. He turned his head and looked at it a few times and his team rode away along the canal bank.

Mu Shulan sat upright on her shoulder chariot. In such cold weather, there were only gauzes around the pavilion. In order to maintain the image of the Saint Aunt, her clothes should not be too thick and bloated, so they were relatively thin. However, Mu Shulan didn't feel cold, because there was a circle of white copper charcoal stoves around her seat, and a certain proportion of charcoal fire was installed inside before leaving. As long as she walked the road as planned, she would not feel cold from going out to entering the house.

Even Mu Shulan had to let the gauze have some gaps, otherwise it would be really hot. When she started traveling, Mu Shulan was very nervous and had done it more often. Mu Shulan was already very calm. She knew that she always had a gentle smile on her face, and knew when to sit up, when to lift the curtain, sprinkle some Qingshen pills prepared by the raw medicine shop, and even stopped the team and shelter the lonely.

These things are done too frequently and do not feel that they are rare and magical. You must grasp the rhythm. Only those devout incense members below will be crazy and spend money to buy incense and talismans.

At this time of year, I will tour before the Lantern Festival. What I gained along the way is not only the pious hearts of believers, but the income from selling incense and talismans can be as good as usual. Moreover, because of this tour, wealthy families in Linqingzhou and Liaocheng and Gaotangzhou will spend money to donate and contribute. Some people have a future, while others compete for the sake of the storm, and this money is even more amazing.

But Mu Shulan also knew very well that the big money of these money was divided by her second uncle and fourth uncle, so she could only get some small ones. With the subsidy from inspector Li's family, it was barely enough to maintain these boys and girls.

Mu Shulan looked at the young men guarding around the shoulder carriage and couldn't help but smile on her face. Although she spent a lot of money, it was worth it. Not to mention saving a life, she finally had a reliable person. In Linqingzhou, the more Mu family members were from, the less they could not trust them.

I shouldn't have followed my second uncle at the beginning, and I gritted my teeth and cried to stay in Xuzhou. With my brother Xiaojin's nature, I would definitely make the decision to let her stay, but now, it's too late now.

The girl sitting in the carriage took a deep breath. This was what Zhao Jin taught her at the time, saying that using this method can calm her mood, which was really useful. With these young girls as her confidants, she had to master a certain degree. Now she was getting stricter and stricter. These young girls could not leave the place where she lived, and could only act together. If you want to leave Linqing City or go further, the Mu family would kill her.

Thinking of the two teenagers sent out, Mu Shulan felt heartbroken. Although these two teenagers were willing to die for themselves, and after being tortured, they only said that they wanted to go home and were not involved, Mu Shulan still couldn't let go. The fragrant master who asked for the news for her no longer dared to show up.

Amid the sound of worship and gongs and drums, Mu Shulan quickly came back to her senses. The situation in front of her must be maintained, otherwise there will be greater trouble.

I could hear the sound of horse hooves vaguely. Mu Shulan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked in the direction of the sound. A horse team was leaving on the other side of the canal. The rider was wrapped tightly, and even his head and face were covered in a felt hat. Perhaps it was a merchant from other places. Mu Shulan glanced at him and came back to her senses.

It was dark when I returned to my residence. What else could I have to do with me? Mu Shulan calmed down and let herself sit more properly. Anyway, there were only a few times a year. After sitting down, Mu Shulan looked back and saw that the horse team had gone far away. It was not very common for such a team to appear in Qingzhou at this time. The leader was tall and ordinary people would not have such a body.
