Chapter 190: Border Pass
Although Mu Guo had heard of Shen Qianyu's name, he didn't know much about him, so he was a little worried about him, so he also followed into the carriage, sat beside Xu Xiangwan upright, and looked at him from time to time, staring at him like a thief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, Shen Qianyu didn't mind, but praised Mu Guo for "loyal protector".
Despite this, Mu Guo still didn't give Shen Qianyu a good look.
Before leaving, Zhang's specially called Mu Guo aside and earnestly instructed her, telling her to protect Xu Xiangwan, not to leave her half a step, and not to let the man be alone with Xu Xiangwan, so as not to be abruptly attacked.
Although there was an expressionless Mu Guo in the middle, Xu Xiangwan and Shen Qianyu still chatted very happily along the way, first talking about some interesting things when they were young, and then talking about their respective situations, as if they had endless words.
The carriage moved forward day and night, fortunately, in addition to Thirteen and Chai Hu, two of the subordinates brought by Shen Qianyu would also catch the car, and several people took turns to catch the car and rest, although it was also hard, but in the end it could still be supported.
About three days later, the carriage drove into the border of Ezhou, which was considered a normal road.
The farther you go north, the colder the weather, the more desolate the scenery, all around are cliffs, there is not a trace of people in one hundred and eighty miles, fortunately there are more than a dozen people in their line, if it is only three or two people together, I am afraid that they will not dare to move forward a long time ago. You must know that they have encountered a lot of fierce beasts on their way in the past few days, and the most terrifying one even encountered a group of hungry wild wolves, fortunately, it was just a small wolf pack, and their group except for Xu Xiangwan, their kung fu was not bad, otherwise I am afraid that they would have been dismantled and eaten by wild beasts.
Xu Xiangwan has never left Yizhou Mansion, although he knows in the book that the Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory and different customs and scenery in various places, but he has never seen it. The only mountains she had seen were Yinlong Mountain and Songtao Mountain, both of which were more beautiful and not as majestic and steep as the mountains in Ezhou, so she only felt amazed when she saw them.
However, because he was in a hurry, Xu Xiangwan could only peek out of the carriage window, and could not see the whole picture of the peak.
Although it was bumpy all the way, Xu Xiangwan also saw the magnificence of mountains and rivers, which made her feel that the whole person was open-minded, not like being confined to a small square courtyard, even if the scenery was beautiful, there was no magnificence of mountains and beautiful waters.
Traveling all the way, on the evening of the fifth day, Xu Xiangwan finally vaguely saw a town ahead.
"Miss Xu, there is Yantang Pass ahead!" Thirteen and eleven pairs of bronze bell eyes burst out with two excited lights, and the horsewhip pointed at the city defense in front, and his dark face was full of joy.
In the past few days, Xu Xiangwan and Muguo have eaten and lived in the carriage, and they will only stop to rest for a while when they need to get water or go out of Gong, and they can support so many days, almost to her limit.
Xu Xiangwan and they are okay, the man and the thirteen brought by Shen Qianyu can only take turns to rest for a while, and the total sleep in these five days may not exceed ten hours, at this time, I heard that they will be able to reach Yantang Pass soon, and the few people who were originally wilting instantly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the horsewhips they waved were much faster.
Yantang Pass is an important border town, and the city defense naturally does not dare to relax. By this time it was already evening, the city gate had been closed, and the soldiers on duty on the city wall saw two carriages from a distance, and immediately became vigilant, and hurriedly blew a whistle to inform the others that there was a situation on their side.
In a few moments, a group of soldiers stood behind the battlements, each with a large bow full of strings, and an arrow on it that glittered in the torches, and shot out at the command of the superior.
"Those who come ahead, quickly turn the horse's head, the city gate is closed, and you are not allowed to enter!" The sentry guarding the city waved the small flag in his hand, waving it and shouting loudly towards Xu Xiangwan's side.
Because it was very empty and silent outside the city gate, Xu Xiangwan's shouts of the sentries were very clear to them.
"Thirteenth brother, now that the city gate has been closed, I don't know if I can still enter the city?" Xu Xiangwan lifted the heavy curtain and asked Thirteen in front.
The rest of the crowd also set their eyes on Thirteen, their eyes full of anticipation.
Thirteen nodded as expected, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, I have a pass token, you are here later, I will go down to the city to have a look." ”
With that, Thirteen jumped out of the carriage and walked alone towards the city gate.
The sentry saw that although the carriage stopped, but a big man walked towards the city gate, his brows immediately furrowed, his voice immediately sharpened, and he scolded loudly: "The person in front, stop quickly!" Yantang Pass is an important town, no one is allowed to enter after the city gate is closed, and those who violate the order are shot to death with arrows! ”
When Xu Xiangwan heard this, he opened the curtain and was about to get off the carriage, but was stopped by Mu Guo.
"Girl, don't go down yet, let's see the situation in the carriage." Before the matter was resolved, Mu Guo didn't dare to let Xu Xiangwan get out of the carriage to take risks, sitting in the carriage, at least when there was an emergency, they could still run faster.
I saw Thirteen stop, took out a silver token from his arms, held it high and said to the other party: "I am General Qian under General Han Shen, this is my military card." ”
Unexpectedly, the sentry sneered and said, "General Han and his subordinates are recuperating in the city, which Qian Zong are you?" ”
Thirteen's face sank: "What do you mean by this?" What I said is false, is there also a false military card? ”
I didn't want the sentry to snort coldly: "Hmph, I just said it, the Governor has issued a death order, and no one is allowed to enter after the city gate is closed!" ”
"When was the order given, and why haven't I heard of it? I've only been out of Yantang Pass for seven days. Thirteen asked, frowning.
"Don't pretend here! A few days ago, you waited for the Jin people to disguise themselves as the people of my Great Zhou and wanted to break through the weir pond pass at night, and almost let you succeed, but fortunately, I was alert to the guards, which avoided a chaos. The sentinel's emotions suddenly became agitated, and his tone even gritted his teeth.
Many of the soldiers guarding Yantang Pass are locals, because of the Jin people, not only their robes were killed by the Jin people, but even their parents and relatives were also killed, how can they not hate, how can they not be angry?
Thirteen didn't expect such a thing to happen after he left for a few days, thinking that the Jin people also got the news of Han Qi's injury, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to sneak into the city and investigate the military situation.
"I am really a subordinate of General Han Shen, I don't believe you go and invite your Fan Zongqi over, he recognizes me." Seeing that the token didn't work, Thirteen changed his mind and said again. (To be continued.) )
