It's just that Pei Yun is worried that the inventory is so tight, and the weapons at home are not tight, even if this Mongolian knife is a rare variety, will there be trouble. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But the city gate is right in front of you, and if you return at this time, it will make the sergeant suspicious.

Leping saw that Pei Yun was worried, and said, "Brother Yun, don't worry, I have my own to deal with in the past." ”

However, Pei Yun's worries were unnecessary. When the inspector saw that Pei Yun and the four of them were carrying knives, they only asked about the identities of a few people, and then let them go directly. Leping had already thought of an excuse for this, saying that he was a prodigal son who wandered around without incident.

(Note: The prodigal son is another name for a ranger in the Qin and Han dynasties, that is, a rogue scoundrel.) ）

There are many wars at the right time, especially in the border area, the number of prodigal sons is extremely large, and there are many people with weapons, who are lazy all day long when they have nothing to do, and the border army has no time to care, unless something major happens. These people have become one of the unstable factors at the bottom. And when there is something, it can also be recruited as a kind of army, that is, the militia to use, which is also the reason why the border army is allowed to do its own.

If nothing happened, the officer on the side asked, "What kind of knife is your knife?" ”

Le Ping pretended to be slightly stunned, and hurriedly replied: "This is what we picked up from the desert, and it may be leftover from the Huns." He smiled and said, "Compared with the knife you use, it must be far behind." ”

The officer waved his hand impatiently, signaling that they could leave, this kind of little person who was squeezing his eyebrows, he looked down on the most, if it wasn't for the order from above, he would have seen one and caught another.

Seeing Pei Yun and the four of them walking away, the officer suddenly locked his eyebrows, and his heart was a little worried.

The four of them looked like ordinary prodigal sons when they spoke, but the others acted forcefully, their eyes were sharp, and they had a military atmosphere, not like ordinary people.

There is also the knife, as a border army stationed at the border all the year round, the weapon style of the nomads can be said to be very clear, there is no such thing, sharp, uniform thickness, the knife is not a regular knife.

No, I haven't seen the average prodigal son have a horse, and the horse looks extraordinary, not a war horse. The more the officer thought about it, the more desperate things were not so simple, there were only four of them, and they must not be ordinary people.

But his duty is to be responsible for checking the traffic of the city gate, and he can't transfer the soldiers without authorization, and he wants to report to the top, and the four of them will be gone, so ...... I had to wait for them to come out.

However, it is said that due to the geographical advantages of Shaoguan, most of the caravans that went to the north to make tea, silk, porcelain and other transactions would pass through Shaoguan and even Bian, which also led to the economic development of Shaoguan.

Of course, due to political factors and the military-civilian ratio factor, Shaoguan, which could have developed in the same direction as Bian Guan, could not be compared with the former.

The streets are also lively, there is no war for the time being, and the faces of the people are a little less sad. There are many shops on both sides, especially inns, teahouses, taverns, and horse feed. There are also border troops patrolling from time to time, walking in neat formations.

"Brother Yun, there is a notice in front, it looks like it has just been posted. "Yue Ying pointed to the front road.

"Notice. Pei Yun smiled and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." "I have seen a lot of notices posted by the government in costume dramas, and I don't want to see it with my own eyes today, which is strange.

Since there was no paper at this time, the notice was just a wooden board hanging on the mud wall and then carved out with a knife and pen.

This is issued by the county government, which is roughly the rampant thieves and the theft of people from time to time, in order to recruit tourists to patrol the territory, catch the thieves, and reassure the people.

Pei Yun specifically asked Quanhan for a period of time to understand the official system of the Great Chu, and his continuation of the pre-Qin system has hardly changed except for the abolition of many harsh punishments.

According to the official system of Da Chu, You Yi is one of the three elders in the township, and it will only be set up in the township. A county has its own soldiers and horses, and it is not impossible to recruit and rogue directly, but it is always strange.

But this matter has nothing to do with Pei Yun, just take a look, Tutu is fresh, that's all.

In other words, this Shaoguan is still nominally under the management of Minxian County. As for why it is nominally, it is precisely because of its geographical advantages.

As a border fortress city that resisted the invasion of nomads, its own strategic significance is extraordinary, and even in the Chu court, its status is special, so all appointments and actions in Shaoguan are directly issued by Yunzhong County.

The notice was just a small episode, and it was important to get down to business, and after many times of asking for directions, I finally came to the residence of the captain of the Shaoguan barrier. (Barrier Commander: The name of the border governor was established in the Qin period.) ）

It was a very ordinary house, and the gate was also made of ordinary wood, and the skin thorns had been turned up, and in some places it had been cracked.

From this, it can be seen that this Captain Barrier, who is in charge of 50,000 border soldiers, is indeed an honest person.

The name of the commander of the Shaoguan barrier is Meng Li, and he is said to be the descendant of the general Mengtian of the pre-Qin Dynasty, who is good at fighting the enemy, is fair and honest, and is usually silent. At the age of thirteen, he joined the army to fight with the Huns, and has been thirty-six years old, guarding the border for 20 years, and has a very high prestige for the subordinates.

It's just that......

Captain Meng was not at home.

When asked, he said that he went to the school field, and Li Mengli went to the barracks to sleep on weekdays, and only the two ladies and the little master were at home.

Pei Yun had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that it was still early and hurriedly went to the west school.

In the distance, you can hear the deafening shouts and thunderous footsteps coming from the school ground, and an invisible magnificent aura rushes over, which makes the spirits of the four people can't help but be lifted.

The school grounds are separated by a high-pitched earthen wall, so you can't see the inside clearly.

As soon as Pei Yun and the four of them approached the gate, they were blocked by the soldiers guarding the gate, and the sharp and sharp four people hurriedly reined in their horses.

"Don't you know that this is the school grounds?" said one of the soldiers.

The four of them stepped off their horses, and Pei Yun stepped forward and said politely: "This soldier brother, we are foot merchants from Bian Guan, and we have something important to ask to see your general, and I hope to report it." ”

"Is my general the one you ordinary people want to see? The soldier looked arrogant and said, on weekdays, when people see him, they always want to call the military master, this person is good, call the soldier brother.

Another soldier next to him saw it, and couldn't help but be cautious: "Otherwise, let's go and report it, if there is really something important to delay, the general will blame it." ”

"Ahem, just a few lowly businessmen, what can be a big deal, don't worry, nothing can happen. The soldier said.

The other soldier stopped talking, pouted and stood aside, thinking to himself if something really happened, would you be able to afford it?

When the soldier saw that Pei Yun and the others were still not leaving, he immediately became impatient, and said impatiently: "You are so ignorant, tell you, my general is not available, if you entangle again, be careful to send you to the iron fence." ”

Yue Ying and a few people were about to get angry, but Pei Yun stopped them, thought about it, and said coldly: "Since General Meng is not available, I can come back another day." He laughed and said: "I heard that General Meng is strict with his subordinates, and General Meng treats people well, and Guanzhong praises, I am afraid that I am afraid that I will ruin General Meng's name because of you alone." ”

After saying that, he didn't look back, but got on his horse and left, leaving the soldier ashamed and angry, thinking that a few lowly merchants dared to accuse themselves.

But after thinking about it carefully, I was ashamed of Pei Yun's words, and after thinking about it carefully, I took the initiative to go to the tent to ask for guilt.

After hearing this, Meng Li was also quite curious about the whereabouts of Pei Yun and the four of them, especially the few words that Pei Yun said to the soldiers, which were not said by very many people, but the people who came had already left, and it was too late to find them. If anything really happens, those people will definitely come back.

As for the soldier, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and sincerely repented, so he did not need to be heavily punished, and he was not spared the punishment, and he should be sent to the back to be responsible for carrying the army.

But it was said that after Pei Yun and the four left, Yue Ying was still indignant, Pei Yun was not to blame, the forest was big, there were all kinds of birds, and it was not abnormal for a few scum to come out occasionally.

When it was time to eat, the four of them also felt hungry, and there happened to be a restaurant on the side of the road, but when they looked, they were four common and friendly names: Yuelai Inn.

The four dismounted, wrapped their knives and clamped them under their armpits. Some men saw it, and came to lead the horse to feed, and someone welcomed it in.

"Your business isn't very good in this shop. Pei Yun couldn't help but say, there were only two or three people in the inn drinking tea there.

The guy said: "What did this master say, the hour is not complete at the moment, there are not many people who come, you are considered to be early." ”

smiled again and said, "This master, is it to drink tea, eat wine and eat or break the shop?"

I chose a random place to sit down.

I'm afraid that in addition to Pei Yun and Leping, Yue Yingzhong Xiaobai has been nesting in Bian Guan all day long, and he has never seen the world, even Pei Yun is not familiar with the rice at this time, what can he say.

However, Leping had already dealt with it, and said with a big grin: "Nonsense, all the good wine and good food are up, what's the matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for the wine?"

The guy's eyes lit up, and it seemed that he was a big master again, and he said with a smile on his face: "The guest officer looks like a big man, and the small one is not at ease, you wait, and the small one will call." ”

Leping nodded pretending to be at this time, Pei Yun was funny when he saw it, Yue Ying and the two of them couldn't bridge their tongues for a long time, and they learned this trick in their hearts.

Soon, eight dishes with different flavors, three pots of fine wine, and four bowls of real ramen came to Pei Yun's table, with all the color, flavor, and flavor, and they wanted to make people eat it when they looked at it, but they didn't know which one was stronger than the stir-fry skills in Wu Mao's tavern.

At this time, the number of people in the store began to gradually increase, and the sound gradually became noisy. There are all kinds of things to say, they are all "strange and secret news" that I heard from nowhere, it is simply a hodgepodge of news, Pei Yun and the four of them are fine, the food in their mouths and the chowder in their ears are also full of relish.

Listening, a piece of news suddenly entered Pei Yun's ears, and Yue Ying did the same, hearing the word "Bian Guan".

The four of them had a long heart, and they all looked at the source of the sound, and they were two middle-aged men in coarse cloth clothes, who looked like businessmen who were well-known and commented on by the public.

(In ancient times, due to the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce, merchants could not wear clothes made of fine silk and arrowroot with patterns, in other words, they could only wear low-quality clothes without patterns.) The imperial court made this decision without planning for the dress of peasants or other commoners, which was a "special" treatment for merchants. ）

"I heard that it was an order issued by the county, and General Meng was ordered to send troops to collect Bian Pass. ”
