Chapter 5: The Storm at the City Gate
At this time, what appeared in front of Ouyang Chaifan's sister and brother was a huge city. The city wall was very tall and exuded an ancient atmosphere, and Ouyang Chai Fan looked at the huge city in front of him, and he was shocked. Directly in front of the city wall is a huge city gate, and directly above the city gate hangs a smooth and flat stone slab, on which the three strong and powerful characters are clearly visible: "Wushuang City"
The guards of the city gate in silver-white armor were strictly checking the passing carriages at the city gate, and the crowd at the city gate was extremely crowded, and there were many passing carriages and horses. Ouyang chased Fan and followed Yue Xiaoqing, and quickly approached in the direction of the city gate. At this time, Ouyang Chaifan found through observation that the investigation in the city gate was actually not very strict, because the law enforcement team only used the name of the city lord's mansion to deter the middle-to-lower merchants and carriages and other teams, and then conducted a review, but it was just pretending, and it would be released if it withheld some gold and silver coins without permission. And for those very luxurious and wealthy convoys, or those Heng people who carry big swords and long swords in their hands, as well as ordinary people, they all ignore them, and let them go directly, without even looking at them! Seeing this, Ouyang Chaifan and Yue Xiaoqing both breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Ouyang Chai Fan had already guessed a rough idea when he saw this. In such a large city, the laws and regulations in the city should be very strict, and it is impossible for the investigation to be so lax, the city lord's mansion guards the safety of the city, and the strong gather. There are many major sects and some forces to protect and support, and no one dares to mess around here. However, these law enforcement teams at the city gate are extremely relaxed, but they are also very shrewd, although they are just an ornament, but their positions are small but their eyes are vicious, they can distinguish all kinds of people entering and leaving the city gate, and they basically ignore the very luxurious and wealthy convoys, the ones whose strength is higher than their own, and the ordinary people, the former do not dare, because it may be a prestigious family with great backgrounds, and then there are those martial artists, they may kick the iron plate, because cultivators are generally not ordinary people, and their tempers are also strange, and it is not possible for them to really meet a master, and it is possible to be beaten by others for nothing, and even bury their good future。 And those ordinary people have no point in squeezing, because the annual income of ordinary people is not as much as a fraction of their monthly military salary, and how many gold and coin can be scavenged.
Thinking about this, Ouyang Chaifan followed his sister Yue Xiaoqing to the city gate, and was about to enter! Suddenly, the city gate guard stopped them and said loudly: "Those two little beggars, stop for me! You can't go in, where are you from, let me go back, go quickly!"
Ouyang Chaifan suddenly thought of something, looked down at himself and Yue Xiaoqing's outfits, and found that he and his sister Yue Xiaoqing were really like two little beggars. He looked at Yue Xiaoqing helplessly, but saw Yue Xiaoqing's eyes light up, and then saw her suddenly tremble, her eyes were moist, and she said pitifully: "Uncle, our sister and brother are ordinary people in the town in front of us!" Everyone in the family is sick and dead, only me and my brother are left, I heard that this Wushuang City is very prosperous, the city lord's mansion of Wushuang City is famous, loved by the people, and the city lord is very reasonable, I have long admired his name before I took my younger brother here to seek a living, uncle, you are so good, please let our sister and brother go over!" Please", after speaking, he hurriedly pressed the back of Ouyang Chaifan's head and bent down to thank him!
Ouyang Chaifan understood what his sister meant, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, try not to anger these guards, and at this time, they seem to be able to only pretend to be pitiful, for a small role like them, pretending to be pitiful and saying good things, people are happy to hear it, and they may indeed let them in, and at this moment, they can only do this, because once they are angry with these city gate guards, not to mention that they can't enter the city, they may even be beaten in vain. Unless there is an accident, and then they sneak in, I am afraid that this Wushuang City will really not be able to enter, Ouyang Chai Fan secretly said in his heart: "This sister Yue Xiaoqing, the reaction is good, but it is also right, an ordinary little girl who has experienced so many hardships, she has no vision and strategy, and of course it is impossible to come here from such a far away." ”
Sure enough, when the guard heard this, his face was full of pride, the corners of his mouth rose, and he nodded and said with a smile: "Well, that's the case, you know how to be polite! But don't blame me for not reminding you, Wushuang City is heavily guarded, twenty-four hours a day, there are escorts patrolling everywhere, find a place to survive, don't do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, once you are discovered, break your dog's legs, do you hear!"
Ouyang Chaifan and Yue Xiaoqing both said at the same time: "Yes, yes, yes, I heard it, thank you, uncle,"
The two sisters and brothers were about to walk over, and at this moment, Ouyang Chaifan suddenly realized something, he instinctively pushed Yue Xiaoqing away, and hurriedly turned his head, but it was too late, a pair of chubby hands pushed himself and his sister Yue Xiaoqing to the ground with more powerful force!
"Ahh
Yue Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise, clenched her little hand that had been injured by her fall, and then hurriedly looked at Ouyang Chaifan and said, "Xiaofan, are you okay?"
"Sister, I'm fine"
Yue Xiaoqing fell to the ground, his little hand scratched a little skin and began to bleed, Ouyang Chai Fan looked at the person coldly, but did not speak, because he saw the scarlet oozing from Yue Xiaoqing's hand, the feeling three days ago appeared again, he didn't know why! Immediately, a little boy in a dark green robe appeared in front of everyone, this look is an arrogant and unreasonable rich boy, about eight or nine years old, bloated, a little fat dun, next to him stood two middle-aged men in black robes and two horses, both holding long swords in their hands, looking at everything that happened in front of them.
The little fat dun then said: "Where did the beggar come from? dare to stop me Rong Hao! Why don't you get out of here?"
The voice was very loud and disgusting, and the eyes of the people around him were all attracted, and the captain of the guard team at the city gate heard the word "Rong Hao" The indifferent gaze suddenly became hot, and he immediately walked over with a boost of spirit, and asked respectfully: "May I ask if you are the second son of the Rong family of Ye City?"
After the captain of the guard finished speaking, he looked at the two middle-aged men next to him from time to time, and the middle-aged man just glanced at him, but didn't say anything
"Well, you know me?" said Chubby Dun Ronghao
"Oh! I heard that the head of the Rong family in Yecheng has two sons, one son is named Rongsheng and the second son is named Ronghao, isn't this the second son of Rong? The villain has only heard of it slightly, hehe! I didn't expect Gongzi Rong to grow so big! Gongzi Rong should also go to the Imperial Sword Sect, right?"
After speaking, he looked at the two middle-aged people next to him.
At this time, the little fat dun said again, "Go, go, ask this and that, what are you doing? Don't let me wait soon! Delay my Rong Hao's soul measurement ceremony, I will go back and tell my father, and use a little means to dismiss your position!"
After hearing this, the captain of the guard team immediately sweated with fright, and hurriedly said: "Oh! Don't don't! Rong Gongzi please Rong Gongzi please, I wish Rong Gongzi a good ranking in the spirit measurement ceremony and successfully enter the Imperial Sword Sect to become a master!"
At this time, the middle-aged man threw a bag of gold coins at the captain of the guard, and the captain of the guard team got the gold coins, his eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed to the little fat dun and the others, in fact, he bowed to the middle-aged man, Tianheng Continent, the most important thing for the strong is respect! The two middle-aged people in front of him are two real masters! As for the little fat dun, a naughty child, he will only rely on family power to satisfy the vain gentleman, even if he really sues his father Rong Tianhai, what can he do? The other party would not come to him for such a trivial matter, besides, this is a peerless city! Here, even if he is only a small captain of the guard, he is also from the City Lord's Mansion. However, in order not to suffer, this play still has to be done well. With a smile on his face, he stood aside and continued to examine the others.
Xiao Chubby Dun took two steps forward and looked at Ouyang Chaifan, "You still dare to stare! Believe it or not, I gouged out your eyes?"
Ouyang Chai Fan gently put down Yue Xiaoqing's hand and walked towards the little fat dun, at this time, the middle-aged man next to him looked at Ouyang Chai Fan's eyes and felt a trace of surprise, then frowned slightly, and then returned to calm, the little chubby dun looked at Ouyang Chai Fan's red pupils, and actually felt a trace of fear! However, the big hand on his shoulder by the middle-aged man in the back calmed his uneasy heart, but he still felt strange, although he had not yet carried out the spirit measurement ritual and became a master, he thought that he had already gone through some primary training arranged by the family since he was a child, and his endurance and courage were not comparable to ordinary people, but at this moment, he felt fear from Ouyang Chaifan's light red strange pupils.
At this time, Yue Xiaoqing suddenly remembered the scene that happened in the town not long ago, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiaofan, don't, have you forgotten what your sister told you?"
Ouyang Chai Fan stopped.
At this time, the little chubby dun looked at Ouyang Chai Fan and stopped and mocked: "Hmph, what a waste, okay, you little beggar who doesn't know whether to live or die, I remember you, young master! After finishing speaking, he walked into the city gate with the two middle-aged people behind him, Ouyang Chaifan turned around and bandaged Yue Xiaoqing's wound and gently held Yue Xiaoqing's hand, and then the two of them walked towards the city, the captain of the guard team looked at the little fat dun and others who entered the city and Ouyang Chaifan, shook his head and sighed.
The middle-aged man followed behind the little fat dun, his brows furrowed slightly, he really couldn't believe it, the moment Ouyang Chaifan came over just now, he actually seemed to feel a trace of uneasiness! He, a third-order master realm, actually felt a trace of uneasiness in the eyes of an ordinary little beggar, and a child who had not undergone soul measurement and had no cultivation level would have eyes of different colors, which was simply incredible!
"Perhaps, it's just an illusion," the middle-aged man said softly, and Xiao Chubby Dun was still immersed in the bustling city of Wushuang City, which was even more prosperous and lively than Ye City. And the middle-aged man finally convinced himself in his heart that it was just an illusion, but he always felt that those light red pupils were very weird.
