Chapter 681: Wind and rain at the city gate

The small shop had a bit of a lively atmosphere, but it became quiet at this time, except for the heavy rain outside the door, and the child finished singing, and then hid behind the old man, fanning a pair of big eyes at everyone.

Everyone seemed to be immersed in that beautiful realm, and they never came back to their senses for a long time.

Although Zhu Zhanji is young, but the life of the past few decades is not easy, his father's position as the crown prince is precarious, so that when he was very young, he understood that many things need to be fought for by himself, in the face of his two uncles' unprovoked attacks on his father, he is a man who has many protective people, it can be said that over the years, although he is classified as the crown prince, the hardships and hardships are not ordinary people can taste, and finally survived until his father ascended the throne, but only a year, the court situation was turbulent again, this time he returned to the capital, can he pass this pass, he didn't have any certainty in his heart, especially under the aggressive offensive of the two uncles, which made him more and more dangerous here.

At this time, I could hear the child's tune, and the line in the song "But I said: This place of peace is my hometown." "Let his heart move, yes, as long as he is at ease, what does it matter if the situation is dangerous?" The heart that I have been carrying in the past has been completely put down at this moment, although the King of Han and the King of Zhao are aggressive, but the situation has not been controlled by them, as long as I rush back to the capital, the situation can not be better.

After some thought, his frowning brows slowly stretched, ignoring the surprised eyes of many people, he put his hands together, bowed to the child behind the old man, and said, "Little friend, thank you?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Xu Mian and Wang Zhen's faces, but their eyes fell on Zhu Zhanji's face, surprise replaced surprise, and the prince who was sad in the past showed such a bright smile for the first time.

"Childe killed the old man?" The old man immediately pulled the boy and returned the salute.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it didn't have to be like this, but where was the old man willing to do it, he had to pull the child to return a big gift together.

Zhu Zhanji no longer apologized, glanced at the heavy rain outside the door, turned his head to Xu Mian and said, "Should we go back?" “

Xu Mian nodded, and once again took out a silver ingot with forty taels from his arms, and threw it away, the shopkeeper had sharp eyes, and copied the silver into his hand with his right hand. “

Xu Mian put on his hat and said while sorting out his clothes: "This store is not too black-hearted, my son-in-law said that this extra silver is a reward for you!" “

The shopkeeper was immediately overjoyed, and while Xu Mian was not paying attention, he put the silver in his mouth and bit it hard, and then said vaguely: "How is this embarrassing?" “

Xu Mian said: "I can't imagine that the store is so honest, even so, the store still gets the silver back, right?" “

The shopkeeper felt a pain in his flesh, smiled hehe, and said, "The old man is laughing, laughing?" “

Xu Mian smiled, walked to the store, and said in a low voice: "Don't mention today's matter to anyone, otherwise-?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the protruding place around his waist, and his heart trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Childe said that I laughed, how can I be that mouthy person!" ”

Xu Mian said: "It's not the best!" Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the store, and his figure quickly disappeared into the rain.

"Shopkeeper, who are they?" The shopkeeper looked at the figures of the three people who gradually disappeared into the mist, and asked around his head.

"What kind of person, Jinyi Weibei!" The shopkeeper muttered in his heart, and then said with a cold face: "Why do you ask so much, have you forgotten how I taught you on weekdays?" ”

The shopkeeper shrunk his neck and whispered: "If you don't ask, don't ask, do you think I didn't see it, I can recognize the embroidered spring knife on the waist of the son?" ”

"Do you want to die? Is that what you can recognize? The shopkeeper slapped the shopkeeper's head and shouted.

"Was it meant to be?" The shopkeeper rubbed his head and muttered dissatisfiedly.

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, but his eyes looked out of the door, and in the hazy mist, the figures of the three people had long disappeared, but the shopkeeper's eyes did not retract for a long time, looking at the dripping spring rain and muttering: "I'm afraid the identity of that young man is not simple!" “

The spring rain outside the door was pouring and pouring non-stop, and the agitated sound soon drowned out his murmuring drizzle.

Zhu Zhanji and the three of them arrived in front of Le'an City as they spoke, Wang Zhen bowed forward to take a look, turned his head and said, "Your Highness, are all people from the palace in front of the city gate?" ”

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: "My second uncle really works himself?" It's a pity that this time it's going to be miscalculated again? Nodding, looking up at the city gate, I saw that under the main gate of the ancient city of Le'an, there were hundreds of people standing on both sides, and there were almost three or four hundred people on the left and right, lined up outside the city gate like a long snake, everyone was holding a weapon in their hands, and the bright and dangling Pu knife was very imposing in the heavy rain.

In the long procession, there were also many people, most of them were ordinary people, most of them were scholars, and there were also many craftsmen around them, who were slowly walking forward, and the scene seemed to be out of the city.

"Your Highness, shall I take a look first?" Xu Mian looked at the long line and said in a low voice.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Be careful?" ”

Xu Mian hurriedly responded and lowered his hat, after all, this Le'an Prefecture is not far from the capital, he is a celebrity in the capital as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and no one is allowed to be recognized, now he has a heavy responsibility on his body, but he doesn't want to be recognized, it's better to be careful.

Taking advantage of the fog stirred up by the heavy rain, Xu Mian walked over, and carefully studied for a while under a big tree on the left, only to hear a person shouting at the city gate: "Those who want to leave the city will be searched!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw eight people on the left and right sides standing in front of the city gate, and began to search a few people who went out of the city.

Eight soldiers let eight people out of the city stand against the wall! As the leader shouted, "Begin!" “

Eight soldiers divided into two and two and one and began to search the bodies of the eight people who had left the city, from head to toe. Searched carefully, and the leader stared closely, and there were few mistakes and omissions, and immediately shouted loudly, so that the soldiers who searched did not dare to slack off, from the top to the bottom, to the knees, and the abdomen. Nothing was missed, and after confirming that there was nothing suspicious, the eight people carefully checked the road guide, and the procedure was cumbersome and careful.

"These bunnies, when did they learn this trick of our Jinyiwei?" Xu Mian muttered, afraid that Zhu Zhanji would be impatient to wait, so he hurriedly went back.

"How?" When Zhu Zhanji saw him coming back, he lowered his voice and said.

Xu Mian shook his head and said in a low voice: "I want to search my body!" “

Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly, he was the crown prince, and he had some important things on his body, these things were not recognized by others, and these soldiers may not be recognized, and when they heard that they were going to be searched, they couldn't help but be a little angry.

Xu Mian glanced at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Your Highness, the big thing is important, let's go out of the city earlier, right?" “

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Let's go!" “

"Wait a minute?" Xu Mian suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Zhen asked with some dissatisfaction, Wang Zhen somewhat disliked this Jinyi Guard commander, it was not that Xu Mian deliberately embarrassed him, on the contrary, Xu Mian was extremely enthusiastic about him, but behind this enthusiasm was a little false, and there was some contempt in his eyes every time.

Although Wang Zhen secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, his expression did not show it, but he became more and more respectful to him, which made Xu Mian's good impression of him better and better.

Xu Mian said: "I'm afraid I can't take this embroidered spring knife out?" After speaking, he took off the embroidered spring knife from his waist, and with a strong hand, he heard a "bang" sound, a white light flashed, and the embroidered spring knife was pulled out of the scabbard.

Xu Mian looked at the embroidered spring knife, as if he was a little reluctant.

"Don't rub it off, don't ruin the prince's big thing because of an embroidered spring knife!" Wang Zhen said in a low voice.

Xu Mian didn't seem to hear it, but slowly turned the embroidered spring knife in one direction, and the blade that was originally facing the sky was aimed at the earth.

Wang Zhen looked at him with some confusion.

The rain fell on the snow-white knife surface along Xu Mian's wrist, collected on the blade, and immediately formed a column of water, which fell to the ground with a bang.

Xu Mian didn't move, but the green tendons on his wrist looked a little hideous in the heavy rain.

Overheard, "Boom! Wang Zhen was startled, and when he looked at it again, the embroidered spring knife in Xu Mian's hand was slapped into the ground by him with one palm, leaving only a few inches of the hilt.

Wang Zhen blinked, looked at the scene in front of him with some disbelief, and said in his heart: "This Jinyi Guard Commander really has some real skills, such a long knife can be hit into the ground with one palm, but it is not something ordinary people can do." ”

Xu Mian took one last look, turned his right hand into a fist, and slammed his fist out, and on the exposed hilt in the middle, the handle of the knife was affected by the force of the fist, making a crisp "bang" sound, and sank into the ground.

The heavy rain continued to fall, quickly flooding the embroidered spring knife and opening the gap.

Wang Zhen was speechless, and said in his heart: "This person's strength is not small!" “

"Did you make Your Highness smile?" Xu Mian stood up and smiled awkwardly at Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji saw that he valued the embroidered spring knife, nodded and said, "It's embarrassing for Lord Xu?" “

Xu Mian said: "Your Highness is laughing!" “

Zhu Zhanji nodded and stopped talking. The three of them went to the gate.

In just such a short time, more than half of the hundreds of people who went out of the city went, which showed that these soldiers worked extremely hard, which made the three of them feel a little surprised.

If the three of them knew that the reason why these soldiers worked so hard and searched so seriously was all due to the heavy rain of these days, they would not be able to smile bitterly.
