Chapter 275 Arriving at Qingjin City, two fat people, one big and one small
Qingjin City is an important town in the northern part of the Snake Valley.
Beyond Qingjin City, further south is the hinterland of Snake Valley, where various large and small towns are dotted and various forces are intertwined, forming a special chaotic situation in Snake Valley.
The Governor's Palace, the Six Generals' Palace, the various autonomous cities, as well as the mountain kings, bandit groups, and the areas controlled by the great slave owners are intertwined, and because of the harsh environment in the wilderness, these forces fight with each other openly and secretly, blockade each other, and each city retains extremely strong force.
Hua Duxiu and the three of them rushed for an afternoon, at first Lou Qin was still carried by Hua Duxiu, and in the evening, the bruise on her ankle basically subsided, so she followed Hua Duxiu and the two on foot.
A few days later, instead of finding the target like the headless flies before, they found a high mountain of three or four hundred zhang, which was a marker for going south to Qingjin City, and after bypassing the high mountain and walking due south for forty or fifty miles, Qingjin City was Qingjin City.
Although it is only forty or fifty miles in a straight line, it will take several days to walk around the mountains, but at least the target has been seen.
It was at the foot of this mountain that the three of them finally saw the horror of the bandit group from afar.
The robbers built a small city at the foot of the mountain and became their den.
There are about 10,000 people in the city, and in addition to a few thousand robbers, the robbers are captured to work, and there are more slaves to serve them, and it is like a small independent kingdom, and the leader of the robbers is the king, and the slaves have no power.
With this den as the center, the area within a radius of dozens of miles is full of robbers, but any caravan and traveler who passes by will be caught by them if they are not careful, and the end will be miserable.
Hua Duxiu and the three of them naturally didn't dare to touch the mold, they carefully bypassed this bandit city from a distance and continued to go south.
The road behind was much easier, and two days later, the three of them finally arrived at the foot of Qingjin City.
This is a big city, don't say that the Golden Horn City is not as good as it, looking at the entire Mobei Boundary, I am afraid that only the Sand City can compare with it.
Outside the city wall of Qingjin City, there is a completely gravel field, not only do not grow trees, but even grass basically does not grow.
It is said that this was deliberately paved with limestone and sulfide-containing ore to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the city and to prevent poisonous snakes from entering the city.
Although the snake did not come, the grass did not grow anymore, and the outside became a bare sandy field.
Qingjin City stands in the center of this gravel field.
Its towering walls are made entirely of huge stone bars, the towers are large, and there are many red flags planted on them, and every three or four zhang on the city walls is a patrolling samurai, closely observing the situation near and far.
The entry into the city was very smooth, and the samurai guarding the gate basically did not interrogate the individual visitors, and even did not care about the travelers carrying swords, which made Hua Duxiu very surprised.
According to his understanding, in such a heavily guarded city, they carried long swords into the city, and eighty percent had to show his token, and even Lou Qin had to report her husband's information to pass.
It didn't.
After entering the city, Lou Qin meant to go directly to the garrison camp, but Hua Duxiu refused.
Hua Duxiu said: "Sister Lou, the three of us went to see my brother-in-law in such a disheveled manner, I'm afraid that my brother-in-law will have to think more?"
Lou Qin looked at Hua Duxiu and the two again, and looked down at his clothes, in addition to the dirty clothes, the sleeves of the three were also scratched by branches.
Lou Qin asked, "Brother Hua, what do you mean?"
Hua Duxiu took out a silver ticket from her arms and said with a smile: "How about we change into decent clothes, take a good bath, have a full meal, and then go to see my brother-in-law?"
Lou Qin said: "Brother, you think too much. What kind of place is Snake Valley, our convoy was destroyed by those people, the guide and escort were killed, and it is inevitable that we will be embarrassed all the way over, how can your brother-in-law think about it?"
Hua Duxiu stared straight at Lou Qin's collar and whispered, "However, your clothes have been torn by tree branches, and the spring is gone, Sister Lou." ”
Lou Qin looked down and saw that the button on the collar flew away at some point, and a hole was torn there, revealing a snow-white chest.
Lou Qin hurriedly covered her chest and pretended to be angry: "You guy, why didn't you say it earlier!"
Hua Duxiu said innocently: "I don't look at the things around me, I just want to hurry up, and I just found out." ”
Lou Qin didn't believe it, she glared at Shen Lijia again: "Okay, you Shen Wansan, I said, what are you doing all the way today, it turns out that you!"
Shen Lijia shook his head and shook his head while learning from Hua Duxiu:
"No, no, no, I don't look at the things around me, I just want to feel the pleasure of the road, where am I looking at you, I'm watching to see if there are any poisonous snakes attacking us." ”
Lou Qin snorted lightly: "Anyway, you two are not well-intentioned!"
Hua Duxiu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know that you are like an arrow, and you want to jump into Brother-in-law Lou's arms immediately, as the old saying goes, sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, let's take a bath and change into clean clothes first, and it is better to go to see my brother-in-law refreshingly." ”
"You don't want your brother-in-law to say salty at the first bite, do you?"
Lou Qin's little face was red again, and her cheeks were pink.
She stomped her foot: "Okay, you butterfly in a flower, you make fun of me again!"
Hua Duxiu begged for mercy: "No, no, absolutely not!"
"Let's go, Sister Lou, listen to me, you and your brother-in-law haven't seen each other for more than half a year, you can't leave a good impression on your brother-in-law, and you can't hug your brother-in-law fragrantly?
Lou Qin was moved, so she had to go around the city with Hua Duxiu and the others, buy a beautiful dress, take a bath, and have a full meal in the restaurant, and then rushed to the garrison camp by carriage.
The large camp of Qingjin City is in the northwest corner, and its area is much smaller than that of the military camp in the city of sand, but the garrison is more rigorous, and the samurai patrolling back and forth are also more fierce.
These warriors were all dressed in sturdy leather armor, and the blades in their hands were full of fine light, not well-maintained, but battle-hardened, polished by flesh and bone chain mail.
Each of them was murderous, and their eyes were as sharp as eagles, completely different from those warriors in Sand City.
The Mobei Realm, after all, is still much more peaceful, and even because of the strong martial arts adhering to the chivalrous style, robbers and thieves have no way to live.
But here it is different, the samurai here are really going to fight.
He is a true warrior sharpened in the flames of war.
Before coming to the barracks, four samurai immediately stopped the three of them, Lou Qin explained his intentions, and one of the samurai immediately ran quickly towards the depths of the camp.
It was only then that Hua Duxiu and Shen Lijia knew what Lou Qin's husband's name was.
His name is "Lei Qinghuang".
Shen Lijia shook his head and said, "This name is not good. ”
Lou Qin asked what was wrong, and Shen Lijia said: "If you don't accept it, it's a sign of poverty, how can any parent give their children this name." ”
Hua Duxiu didn't think so, he whispered to Shen Lijia: "Jiajia, green and yellow intersect, do you know what it is?"
Shen Lijia asked, "What is it?" Could it be a frog pulling poop?"
Hua Duxiu said: "What a mess. Cyan mixed with yellow, that's green. ”
Shen Lijia was stunned: "Really, so amazing?"
Hua Duxiu said: "When I was a child, I asked you to read more, but you didn't listen, and you didn't even know about it." ”
"Have you ever heard of the three-color principle? Any color in nature can be mixed with red, yellow, and blue. Green, on the other hand, is a mixture of yellow and cyan. ”
Shen Lijia scratched his head: "Yes, brother-in-law, you are really knowledgeable, what if the green and yellow intersect and get green?"
At this time, a slightly chubby man wearing a captain's military uniform ran quickly from the camp, looking at his face was surprised and happy, it was obvious that this person was Lou Qin's husband Lei Qinghuang.
Behind him, a young fat man ran out.
Hua Duxiu stuck to Shen Lijia's ear and said, "Jiajia, do you feel that Brother-in-law Lou's head is going to glow green?"
Shen Lijia looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, his hair is very dark, darker than your hair." ”
Hua Duxiu rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Lou Qinxi said: "What are you two muttering, look, that person is my father-in-law, my father-in-law is here to pick me up!"
Hua Duxiu pretended to smile: "Great! I can finally see my brother-in-law!"
Shen Lijia also pretended to be happy: "Yes, yes, great!"
Lou Qin didn't care about the two of them, and when Lei Qinghuang ran to the gate of the camp, he threw himself into his arms, and tears wet Lei Qinghuang's chest.
Hua Duxiu and Shen Lijia looked carefully, this Lei Qing and Huang Lei brothers, his five-short figure, although not very tall, but very strong, at first glance, he is the kind of fierce general who can fight day and night.
At this moment, his dark face was full of happiness, holding Lou Qin's shoulder with one hand, gently patting her back with the other, and comforting:
"Qin, Qin, it's been a long time, I thought it was the brothers who lied, it turned out that you were really here?"
Lou Qin whimpered: "You are a negative person, if you have been gone for so long, you will not come back to see me, and you will not even have a letter, do you have a conscience?"
Lei Qinghuang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Blame me, blame me, it's all my fault." ”
A few guards at the door hurriedly turned their backs, smiles of goodwill on their faces. When I left home and went back, I couldn't take care of my family, and it was not easy to join the army!
The little fat man behind Lei Qinghuang said happily: "Sister-in-law, you are here!"
Lou Qin said happily: "Ming?洌?? 阌殖じ吡四亍!?/p>
This little fat man is Lei Qinghuang's own brother, Lei Ming, >η Cai Shovel, Lei Ming
Shen Lijia looked this thunderous up and down?? Yi Jiong Huang silkworm gathering, cockles, lying down, Shen Yan Gorge, breaking into the Jun Strait, restoring the stubbornness, Ke Qi Mu Xin Ac, voila, showing the common front, Qu Jiong, trickling the machine, India, /p >
Shen Lijia didn't want to be compared, so he unconsciously straightened up quietly.
Hua Duxiu watched silly from the side.
Lou Qin has grievances to express, and these flowers can understand it.
There is even a vague sense of empathy.
When she first arrived in Jizong, Yaoyao's girl wrote letters to herself twice in three days, and the letters were not full of complaints from such little women?
As for Nian Ze girl...... Alas, that's it, let's not talk about it.
I still miss her, I wonder if she will wait for me?
Hua Duxiu was stunned, Lou Qin remembered him and Shen Lijia, and quickly broke out of Lei Qinghuang's arms, wiped his tears and said:
"Husband, let me introduce you, these two little brothers are the samurai who escorted me here, and they are also military attachés just like you. ”
Shen Lijia bumped Hua Duxiu with his arm, and the two hurriedly and politely shouted hello brother-in-law.
Lei Qinghuang greeted the two generously, looked up and down Hua Duxiu and the two with eyes as sharp as eagle falcons, and said strangely:
"Qin, you said that these two little brothers are military attachés in the army?"
Lou Qin said: "Well, but they shoulder the important task of walking, which is different from your martial arts position to defend the city." Can we go in and talk about it?"
Lei Qinghuang said: "Yes, you have come from a long journey, rest your feet with me first, and have a cup of tea." ”
