Chapter Seventy-Five: It's Better to Count on the Sky
The closer I got to the city gate, the more I felt that something was wrong. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the deserted Baiwu City, and there was a commotion at the city gate.
From a distance, the soldiers defending the city were also in a posture of being ready for battle.
"Is there another rebellion?" Sha Li also ignored the silence and said casually.
Lou Qingxiao knocked on the sand glass: "You can't talk nonsense. In the realm of Baiwu City, there are at most some thieves and grass, and they are not in the climate. ”
"Then I'm even more afraid, Zhi Ge and Yinyu Wei are just outside the city, whether it's a person or a ghost, it's all for him." Sha Li said it righteously.
Nan Yuan smiled: "You are like a mountain king. ”
"Haha, then let King Ben go and see what can scare the people of a city like this."
Sha Li is obviously not afraid of big things, but it is really too boring to go back to the barracks so early, and the three of them will follow Sha Li to see the excitement together. Nan Yuan originally wanted to be reserved, but since everyone didn't care, he ignited his gossip again.
After getting along for so long, Sha Li and the others have completely figured out Nan Yuan's temperament. It's delicious, it's fun, and it's very lazy. Nanyuan is not shy about doing whatever he wants, completely ignoring his age and image. But that's exactly the case, with one more Nan Yuan, the three of them didn't feel awkward, anyway, it was very pleasant to be noisy.
"It seems that it has been too long and these people are timid." Nan Yuan yawned.
"This is a good thing, it is better than fighting and killing every day." Lou Qingxiao fanned his fan.
Walk all the way back to the city gates. There were a lot of people around the city gate, except for the lively ones, in the middle was a team of well-dressed domestic servants, and five carriages, the soldiers guarding the city blocked the door, and a person who looked like a housekeeper was talking to the soldier's captain, and the expressions of both parties were not very good, obviously they could not negotiate.
Sha Li pretended to have no intention of talking to the woman next to her: "What's the matter?" ”
The woman said: "Recently, it has not been peaceful, and the people of the Li family in the cotton shop want to move, and the prefect has ordered that they will not be allowed to move their homes without permission. ”
Another woman interjected: "It's not, it is estimated that the Li family did not dredge the guards of the city gate, and now let the guards block it. ”
Several women began to talk about the glorious deeds of the Li family's bullying and dominating the market, and Sha Li quietly retreated, somewhat understanding the reason.
"This White Dock City is really interesting. It's troublesome to get in, and it's even more troublesome to get out. Shali laughed.
"Since it's Baiwu City's own business, let's not worry about it." Luo Yuyan said, "The captain guarding the city should still remember us, so go directly to him." ”
The soldiers defending the city confronted the Li family, and Luo Yuyan and his party walked towards the city gate. The four of them surround the past at the outermost point and still attract a lot of attention.
With curious eyes all the way, the four of them finally went around to the city gate. The people who didn't know the truth even thought that these four nobles were here to give Li Jiazhuang a boost.
The Captain of the Army, who had just let them into the city, stared at the four of them vigilantly.
Lou Qingxiao took a step forward and said, "Master Jun, I'll send my friend out of the city, it's convenient for you." ”
The general defending the city recognized the four people, bought a face, and whispered: "What kind of city are you out of at this time?" Go back quickly and talk about it tomorrow. ”
Lou Qingxiao saw that the general defending the city had a tough attitude, and there was another Li family at the moment, who walked out of the city blatantly, which seemed to be too conspicuous, so he didn't say much and retreated.
Nan Yuan said: "The more I say that, the less I like to stay here." "As soon as Nanyuan's stinky temper came up, he couldn't stop it, and the invisible coercion was about to be released again.
Sha Li's eyes were quick, and he put his hand on his shoulder, using his divine sense to suppress Nan Yuan. No matter how powerful Nan Yuan is, in front of the host Sha Li, he can only be obedient.
Nan Yuan pulled his face: "Why are you stopping me?" ”
"Collect your stinky temper, a venerable man, bullying these ordinary people with coercion is a lot of loss of face." Sha Li looked helpless, and Nan Yuan felt that it did make some sense when he heard it. Unexpectedly, Sha Li continued: "It's so damaging to the face of me, the fairy and the radish strips!" ”
Lou Qingxiao snorted and laughed, and the fairy pursed his lips, snickering in his heart. Nan Yuan rolled his eyes and cursed Sha Li in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to bother with you." Nan Yuan held his breath and stared, and reluctantly became a puppeteer.
Luo Yu looked at the sky and said, "Pick a remote place, Edgeworth go, there's no point in spending it here." ”
The four of them were about to leave quietly, but they heard the sound of a gong opening the way. The officials who walked in the front held the sign of silence, and the officials who followed on both sides quickly surrounded everything here at the city gate. When the officials controlled the scene, the prefect in official uniform finally appeared.
The prefect is not young, because of the recent events in the city, his mental state is not very good.
The four people who wanted to leave were also surrounded by the officials, and now they could only continue to watch the excitement.
The appearance of the prefect did not cause any commotion, and the arrival of the prefect aroused the people's mentality of watching the excitement even more, and they stretched their necks one by one, for fear of missing something exciting. Some people even put their children around their necks, and they are even more energetic.
Shali was dumbfounded, sure enough, no matter what era, the most important thing is to watch the lively people.
The noisy Li family also stopped making a sound, standing quietly together, and the female relatives in the carriage also got off one after another to show their respect for the prefect.
The general guarding the city took three steps and made two steps, and came directly to the prefect to salute: "My lord, the Li family moved their family out of the city overnight, but they really ignored the law, and the final general will detain more than 35 people according to the law, waiting for the lord's orders." ”
The generals defending the city were unceremonious and directly convicted the Li family in defiance of the law. And the Li family was silent, standing with their hands down one by one, and when the general defending the city finished speaking, a man about forty years old from the Li family stood up, and he should be the head of the Li family.
The head of the Li family saluted respectfully and defended unhurriedly: "My lord, this is all a misunderstanding. ”
The prefect signaled the two of them to be restless, but said loudly to the lively people: "Wang is not talented, he has been in charge of the Baiwu prefect for three years, although he does not dare to say that I have benefited one party and invited merit to appreciate myself, but I have also done my best for the people of Baiwu."
The people who were still noisy just now fell silent, and this prefect did have a certain weight in the hearts of the people.
"I ordered the closure of the city before, in order to protect the people in the city, it is really a helpless move, I have ordered a lot of money to buy medicinal materials, and look for folk medicine masters, all the blind date people and wait patiently." The prefect's eyes fell on the Li family, "If you insist on going out of the city, I won't force it." However, a writ must be signed to prove that he is no longer a person from Dock City. ”
After the prefect finished speaking, he stood in place with his back hand, and the Li family was completely discouraged. The head of the Li family stepped forward and said respectfully to the prefect: "Since the lord said so, I, Li Zhong, am not an unreasonable person, so wait a little longer." ”
"It's safer inside the city than outside the city." The prefect said.
The prefect and Li Zhong were chatting idly, and Li Zhong slowly walked back with the Li family.
Seeing that the Li family was not out of the city, the lively people also dispersed one after another, and it became even more conspicuous that Shali and his party were more conspicuous. The general defending the city came directly to the four of them and said, "You have also heard what your lordship said, if you want to go out of the city, then take out the road guide and sign the order." ”
Sha Li was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "What is the way?" We're not from Dock City, do we still need to sign a warrant? ”
The general defending the city frowned, looked at the four of them vigilantly, and suddenly shouted: "Someone!" Surround these four people! ”
The surrounding officials and soldiers defending the city immediately surrounded the four of them, and a clearing was cleared around. On the other hand, the four people who were surrounded did not panic or panic, but looked at the general in front of them very playfully.
"This change of face is really fast......" Sha Li sneered. Shali's fingers moved slightly, and a secret letter turned into a flying insect and flew out of the city.
Lou Qingxiao raised his face: "Master Jun, it's not appropriate to do this." ”
"Ben will also act according to the order, and there is nothing wrong with it." His gaze swept over the four of them, all of whom had expressions of indifference, but there was a kind of majesty that overwhelmed people. The general reluctantly looked directly at the four of them and said, "If it's not from Baiwu City, you have to check it!" ”
The movement here caused another commotion, and the prefect came back and saw this scene and immediately rushed back.
"Han Yi, don't be rude." The prefect scolded.
The prefect has been in the officialdom for many years, and his ability to observe people is naturally not bad. Seeing that the four people in front of him were not easy to mess with, he hurriedly came over to inquire about the situation.
A general named Han Yi stepped back and made room for the prefect. The prefect repeatedly accused: "Han Yi has always been reckless, and a few of them hope to bear with me." ”
"The prefect doesn't have to be polite. We passed by Whitedock City and wanted to rest in the city. I had no choice but to learn that your place did not accept outsiders, so I wanted to go out of the city, and I hoped that the prefect would make it convenient. Lou Qingxiao said.
"A few nobles have seen the notice from White Dock City?"
Lou Qingxiao shook his head: "I don't know anything in the city. ”
The prefect thought for a moment and said: "It's getting late, so let the official arrange for the four of them to stay temporarily, the night is cold and the dew is heavy, and there is nowhere to rest within a radius of several miles." If you don't dislike it, the post house still has a room. ”
Sha Li's side is smarter than the other, and Sha Li can understand the meaning, and the other three people's minds are even more transparent. The prefect also had doubts about their identity. When you come at night, you have to go at night, but there are peasant villages within a few miles, and when you see that they are not people who can live in peasant households, you naturally have to ask a few more questions.
Lou Qingxiao glanced back at Luo Yuyan, Luo Yuyan smiled gently, and didn't care about the rude treatment before. Luo Yuyan's eyes were cold, he swept over the prefect, and the prefect instantly felt a chill, and thought in his heart: This won't provoke the Big Buddha, right......
Luo Yuyan was very satisfied when he saw the prefect's cold sweat, and he said slowly: "It's inconvenient to travel at night, so there's the prefect Lao's mansion." ”
"It should be, it should be." The prefect nodded hurriedly.
The prefect immediately summoned a servant to say something, and the servant nodded and left immediately.
"Dare to ask a few nobles if they are going out to enjoy the fun?" The prefect asked seemingly casually.
"Sort of." Lou Qingxiao also seemed to say casually.
The prefect saw that a few people didn't want to say their identities and intentions, so they kept silent.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the city, and the horses' hooves were strong and powerful, and they were by no means comparable to ordinary horses. The people at the gates even felt the ground tremble slightly.
Everyone looked at the city gate in amazement, and the soldiers on the city wall waved their military flags and shouted: "Cavalry! It's a real cavalryman! ”
The prefect's smile froze on his face, and he looked at the four people around him with indifferent expressions, and knew in his heart that something was going on.
Han Yi, the general defending the city, stared blankly, and his open mouth was enough to stuff an egg.
