Su Yue smiled: "No, the two rivers in this town converge and are divided into three sections, so it is called three sections." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLater, the townspeople wanted to make a profit in the city, and they felt that the 'three cuts' were unlucky, so they changed the name. ”

When they got closer, the crowd of people rushed out like opening the floodgates, but they didn't let them in. Liao Tingyun saw that others didn't stop them from coming in and out, but only stopped herself, and she suddenly became angry. Tong Xi saw that Liao Tingyun was about to remove the sword sleeve, so he hurriedly pulled her, and the guards guarding the door saw it, but they surrounded them and wanted to arrest them. A few people pushed, shoved, and shouted, which attracted the attention of the city wall, and after a while, the lookout of the city wall poked their heads out to look at it, and asked again. Everyone below looked up. After a while, he was a person, of medium stature, in his thirties, dressed in Confucian clothes, and looked like a staff officer. As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of officials, only afraid of management." "When the people at the gate of the city saw a man who looked like an official, he walked around it from afar, like a rock in a stream. The staff officer-looking man didn't care about this, and went straight to Dianyin's side, angrily asking what was the matter.

I saw the guards guarding the door bowing their heads and saying, "We are only carrying out the orders of the superiors, and those with weapons are not allowed to enter." The man glanced at the four of them and said, "That's right, the general has an order, now that Damu has invaded our county, Damu's army will immediately go south, martial law in the city, and those with weapons are not allowed to enter the city, so you should go home." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Su Yue said in the back: "Mu Huang actually wants to go to war?

The staff officer turned around and asked the guards to arrest them. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Su Yue, who had always been forbearing, suddenly appeared in front of him and slapped him to the ground. Behind him, he could hear his teeth rattling. The soldiers surrounded them with knives and guns, but Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun barely stopped them. Tong Xi trembled with fright on the side.

The staff officer was beaten to the point of donating blood, and when he turned his face to see Su Yue's face, he suddenly laughed wildly. He took Su Yue's hand, pulled the soldier out of his mouth and said, "Misunderstanding...... Checkmate...... Misunderstanding...... "Everyone is baffled." The staff officer crooked his mouth and said for a long time, and Su, Dian and others understood: It turned out that this staff officer's surname was Wang, and he was a great friend like Su Yue, and he was also an admirer of Su Yue. His father used to be a staff officer under Su Yue's account, so he had met Su Yue and was deeply impressed by Su Yue, and he still remembers it.

Staff Officer Wang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Su Pihu is here, and he has brought a helper, and now Guzi City is saved." How about all the heroes and Xiao Ke go to see the general together?"

Su Yue saw that the middle-aged man was beaten by himself, not only was he not angry, but he was also polite to himself, he felt very guilty, and apologized to him again and again. The staff officer was open-minded, not only did he not care, but he was also very humble in front of Su Yue.

The four of them followed the king's staff officer up to the tower. The city tower is not high, can not overlook the entire lonely city, but can also take in most of it, as Su Yue said, two small rivers in the city converge, meandering to divide the whole town into three sections. The sun is shining in the east, the mountains are towering in the west, and there is a beautiful city in between.

Dianyin is admiring the wonders of this city. A few people suddenly came from behind, and Dian Yin looked at the person who looked like a general at the head of the row, with heroic hair, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows, and a righteous body, but he looked a little familiar. Under the recommendation of the king's counselor, everyone knew that he was the main general of the city of solitary sons.

When the chief general heard that the forty-year-old white middle-aged man in front of him was Su Yuehou, he was dumbfounded and immediately bowed to the ground. Shocked, Su Yue knelt down together, and the two shirked for a long time before they got up. The city guard general said: "The general may not know the juniors, I used to be the third city lord of the Xia City, the third Yin Xiongjie of the Yin family." Standing behind, Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun were shocked when they heard this name. Liao Tingyun's eyes widened and he clenched the hilt of his sword, while Dian Yin took two steps back, lowering his head and not daring to speak.

Su Yue said: "But Yin Daxia, who is known as 'Judge Xingmu'?"

Yin Xiongjie said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, compared with the general, the younger generation is just a vain name." ”

Su Yue said: "Yin Daxia was the lord of the city in the old days, and now he guards the border city, and the name of the hero is worthy of the name." ”

Yin Xiongjie waved his hand and said, "The general praises it." The younger generation is not afraid of the world's jokes, the so-called city lord of Xia Cheng is the intrigue of my brothers in the family. 'The ways are different, and they do not conspire with each other. I have long since broken off my brotherhood with them. Now entrusted by the city lord of Lonely Son City, guarding this city, in fact, the younger generation has never led soldiers or fought in his life. If it weren't for the support of these subordinates, I'm afraid that the people in the city would have become ghosts. Now it is just right for me to go to the city lord and ask him to give up my position as the lord to the general. ”

Su Yue hurriedly said: "This is absolutely impossible. Su Yue's tone had no room for maneuver.

Yin Xiongjie paused and said, "The general doesn't have to rush to refuse me, how about we go to the main tent to talk about it first?" It turned out that the main battlefield was at the north gate, and Yin Xiongjie just happened to come to inspect the south gate.

The group went down to the city tower as they spoke, and Yin Xiongjie saw that Su Yue was followed by two masked people with hidden heads and masks, so he asked who they were? He was thoughtful, and he had already noticed that something was wrong with Dian and Liao, so he said: "This is my two friends all the way, they suffered from a cold a few days ago, and they covered their mouths and noses like this for fear of spreading it to others. After speaking, he turned his head to the two of them and said, "It's almost good, let's show your face." Dian Yin raised his head and saluted Yin Xiongjie. Liao Tingyun still covered her face and only nodded.

Yin Xiongjie saw that they all had weapons, so he hoped that they could work together to acropolize the city. Dian Yin glanced at Su Yue, clasped his fists and said to Yin Xiongjie: "Where you can serve, you must do your best." ”

Tong Xi said: "Brother, what are you talking about? My own safety comes first! And I can't borrow green bamboo." ”

"Shut up!" Dian Yin saluted like Yin Xiongjie, "The little sister is speechless, and I hope the general will forgive her sins." Yin Xiongjie saw that she was just a delicate child, and said, "Little child, don't get in the way." ”

When Tong Xi heard this, he crossed his waist and wanted to scold angrily, but fortunately, Liao Tingyun was sensitive and agile, and he pulled her down, and only pinched her lightly on the bone, and Tong Rhino collapsed.

Dian Yin said: "The little sister is weak and doesn't know martial arts, so she relies on this maid to take care of her on weekdays......" Yin Xiongjie nodded to Liao Tingyun, but Liao Tingyun didn't see it.

The group continued to walk in the city of solitary children. Look to the right, the river is vertical and horizontal, the large and small boats are dense, the noisy is not lively, when you listen carefully, it is not the clamor of the river market to buy and sell, most of them are rich families who drag their children and daughters, and move their families. Looking to the left, the commercial street at the end of the line is deserted, and there is no shadow in sight, only abandoned cats and dogs, walking back and forth in the streets and alleys. Those who know the inside story will inevitably sigh when they see it.

Cities with many rivers tend to have many bridges. Dianyin found that the same is true here: stone bridges, arch bridges, suspension bridges, wooden bridges...... There were seven or eight of them just along the way. Especially in a big stone bridge where the two rivers converge, the width of the bridge is two or three zhang, the length of the bridge is more than ten zhang, there is a stone fence on the bridge, the bridge deck and the stone fence are all paved with white marble stone, at a glance, the white vast is like the snow that never melts. Tong Xi had never seen such a beautiful bridge, so he left everyone and ran onto the bridge, Liao Tingyun and Dian Yin also caught up, and when they saw the beauty of this bridge, they couldn't help but be amazed. Originally, each pair of bridge railings on both sides of the bridge was carved with different sculptures, such as silver lions, golden boys and jade girls, and carp jumping over the dragon gate...... There is no pair of the same pattern on such a long bridge. It's just that the people coming and going on the bridge are in a hurry, and Tong Xi is like a madman compared to them.

Yin Xiongjie sighed and said: "This bridge is as famous as its bridge, called Yinxue Bridge, which can be regarded as a scene in this city. It's just that if the Allies invade the city, we will have to blow it up in order to cut off its sharpness. ”

When Tong Xi heard this, he ran over and said, "It's a pity that such a beautiful bridge has been blown up! You are really ruthless!" She grimaced, hid behind Liao Tingyun and still whispered and complained about Yin Xiongjie.

Su Yue said: "Muhuang has been a friendly country for a hundred years, where did Huangjun provoke Damu, so that Damu wants to bring a large army to attack the border city?"

Yin Xiongjie said: "Muhuang did not go to war, and the two counties are still friendly countries, all of which have to start with the battle of Huangde more than ten years ago.

When Dejun sent troops into Huang, Huangjun was weak and unable to resist, so he asked Damu for help, and Emperor Mu hesitated at first. The county lord of Huangjun couldn't sit still, and sacrificed Sanjie Town after he was willing to send troops in order to make great harmony. The people of Sanjie Town are rich and the geographical location is important, and Emperor Mu has long thought about it, so he promised that this is the feat of the general you being newly activated and going all the way south to Wanjing. Although the United Army was defeated due to the large number of generals in the battle, Dejun was no longer able to invade Huangjun.

Damu came to Huang County to ask for Sanjie Town afterwards, but the county lord of Huang County did not dare not give it, nor did he dare to give it openly, so he withdrew the officials of Sanjie Town. The people of Sanjie Town already knew what was going on, and some of the big people in the town took the lead in setting up the Self-Defense Force, and announced that Sanjie Town was temporarily separated from Huang County and renamed Guzi City, the first city lord surnamed Cao, the father of the current city lord, was originally a famous family in the city, and the silver snow bridge was built by him in the name of the current city lord. At that time, he ordered the self-defense forces defending the city not to let the received personnel of the Tokushire government enter the city. But they also knew that Damu was strong, and they didn't embarrass the officials of Damu, but just drove them out. Damu also didn't want to have a grudge with his only ally in the south, Huangjun, because of this incident, and did not forcibly occupy the Orphan City. But Damu sends someone to receive it every year, and of course every year it is politely expelled. Finally this year, Emperor Mu couldn't help it, and after informing the county lord of Huangjun, he wanted to send the guerrilla general Quan You to lead 3,000 border guards to escort the city officials at all levels of Damu into the city, and now those officials and troops are on the way. The public relations documents have also been sent to the hands of the Cao City Lord. The lord of the city temporarily recruited me as a general to guard the lonely city. That's why I hope that General Su will be able to take on this important task. The city lord of Cao is quite capable of recruiting talents, and if he dares to guarantee with his head, the city lord will definitely be able to accommodate the general!"

Su Yue just shook his head and didn't say anything.

The group followed Yin Xiongjie to the main tent at the north gate, Tong Xi was tired, so Yin Xiongjie chose a good restaurant for him, let her and Liao Tingyun live first, and only Dian Yin and Su Yue followed him into the tent.

When I entered the tent, it happened that the lord of the city was also there. Yin Xiongjie introduced Su Yue to the city lord again, and reported to the city lord that he had a blood feud with Emperor Mu more than ten years ago.

The city lord said: "Although the lower officials have lived in the temple for a long time, they have also heard of Su Pihu's prestige! The lower officials also know that General Su has his own difficulties, so he does not force it. It's just Yin Daxia!" Yin Xiongjie responded. "It has been reported that there seems to be a great harmony near the south gate, but is there such a thing?"

Su Yue hurriedly pulled Dian Yin and said, "I'll retire first!" Lord Cao waved his hand and said, "What is there to prevent General Su?" ”

Yin Xiongjie also motioned for Su and Dian to stay. He added: "I have learned the news below, and I have just returned from the south gate to deploy security and investigate, and I have also strengthened the vigilance of the other two gates. ”

The city lord smiled: "Very good, very good." He stood up and was about to walk out of the tent, walked in front of Su Yue and said lightly: "The lower official has long admired the general as a human being in his heart, and he is even happier to see the general's majestic appearance today." It's just that if the official is coarse and thin at this time, he is afraid of provoking the general's disgust. Therefore, Yin Daxia will do it for me. Wait until the army retreats, and then the lower officials will feast the general. Su Yue bowed deeply after hearing this, and the old tears were in tears.

After the city lord left, Su Yue also had to withdraw from the tent. Dian Yin didn't dare to reveal himself to Yin Xiongjie, and Yin Xiongjie didn't know what to arrange for him. He also came out of the account with Su Yue.

Originally, Dianyin followed Su Yue, but as soon as he walked to the deserted street market, he led Su Yue to walk around the streets and alleys. Su Yue smiled and said, "What's the matter, brother?

Dian Yin replied without looking back: "When I was walking with Yin Daxia in the city just now, I passed by a teahouse, and I saw that the proprietress looked like an old friend. Therefore, I silently remembered this road just now. Su Yue laughed and said nothing.

Walking through a street alley, I saw a small teahouse: there are two or three large storefronts, two floors up and down, and you can see a big wooden sign with the word "tea" on the second floor fluttering in the wind from a distance. The exterior is very plainly decorated, with only wooden walls with windows and large lanterns that have faded their colors. There is a plaque hanging on the lintel, on which are written "Red Tea House".

When I walked into the house, I found that it was as neat and tidy as the outside: an old man singing music sat on the front stage. The audience was densely packed with clean, unpainted tables and chairs, and a lazy fellow greeted them weakly. There are also two plain corridors on both sides, and there are several ordinary bonsai pots on both sides of the corridor. It's just that there are only three or four sparse guests in the huge teahouse, which is too incommensurate with its full house of tables and chairs.

Dianyin looked at the proprietress who greeted him with her back to him, and was a little excited. But when the proprietress turned her head, he was already as disappointed as she expected. Although the layout of this teahouse is somewhat similar to Xiang Yi's in Wanjing, and the proprietress has a bun that is also very similar to Xiang Yi, the unfamiliar face and philistine eyes tell him that the person in front of him does not know each other, and this teahouse cannot inherit the mantle of Wuluo Lane.

The proprietress was very welcoming to them, and she came out of the counter to greet them personally. Dian Yin was disappointed in his heart, and his words were a little annoying, and Su Yue's heart had not yet been withdrawn from the tent, and he was a little careless. The proprietress left in a daze. After a while, she came over with two more pots of tea and some preserved fruits. This time, Dianyin really saw that the proprietress was only slightly similar to Xiangyi in shape and bun, and everything else was very different. Dianyin wondered how he could have made a mistake at that glance.

The proprietress looked at Su Yue with her eyes and said: "Two distinguished guests from other places, these two pots of 'Dongting Biluochun' are the first-class craftsmanship passed down from the Central Plains, and the tea of the town hall of the tea house is contemptuous, please taste the two distinguished guests." ”

Dianyin was a little angry and said, "We didn't order this!"

The proprietress said a blessing with the tea, and said in her mouth: "Both of you are distinguished guests, and this tea poor woman is invited." Although Su and Dian were puzzled, thinking that this place was close to the main street, maybe she had just seen herself and Yin Xiongjie together. Or maybe Yin Xiongjie had already sent someone to arrange it before he came, so he was treated so favorably, and he didn't have any doubts, and thanked the proprietress. I chose a corner and sat down.

Su and Dian happened to be sitting very close to the hostess's counter. Since there were no guests, the proprietress listened to the old man sing with them. The old man's songs are all about the glamorous sounds of the wind and snow, which deepens the tranquility and tranquility of the teahouse, compared with the haze and frightened solitary city outside the house, it is simply two worlds.

At the end of the song, the proprietress asked the old man to rest for a while and drink tea. The old man nodded, took a few sips of tea, and cleared his throat. Dian Yin handed over some preserved fruits, and the old man also accepted them, only eating one date, and putting the rest in his pocket.

Dian Yin smiled: "The army of great harmony is coming, but the old gentleman is calm. ”

The old man replied, "The guest is falsely praised. It's just a handful of old bones, half of my life has gone into the loess, and the people are coming, and they want to bother them to bury the other half of me!"

Su Yue looked around the teahouse, he looked at the few tea guests who seemed to be stable, but there was a hint of panic in their behavior, and a trace of pity was sent out in his heart. He has seen a lot of such people, and he would rather die than guard his one-third of an acre of land, and refuse to change. They don't know how terrible the war can be, and how it will surprise them. And how to destroy their lives.

The proprietress raised her head, glanced at things a few times, and then said to Su Yue in a very ordinary tone: "General Su is okay." When Dian Yin and Su Yue heard this, they both became nervous. They looked at the proprietress suspiciously, calmly faced, and they were a little nervous in their hearts. The pawn inertly went back to touch the knife.

The proprietress acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and laughed again: "The general doesn't recognize the poor woman?"

Now that the war is imminent, there must be many spies in the city, and Su Yue was once a celebrity of great harmony, so it is easy to be recognized, thinking of this, both of them made a preemptive posture.
