"Brother Chen, come and eat, a lot of pastries. Li Wanwan looked at the plates of pastries brought by the guy, regained her girlish nature, and dragged Chen Yichen over.

"Two guest officers, look at this, this is called auspicious fruit, this is rose cake, this is plum blossom cake......" The guy gently put the plates in the tray on the table and introduced them one by one.

"This little brother. Chen Yichen waved his hand and asked the guy, "Why is this Mo City so desolate that you can't even find a carriage?"

"Guest officer, look at you, you're from out of town. The man looked left and right, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "You probably heard about it." The Yan Kingdom wants to invade our Dachen Kingdom, and it is said that there is already a war on the border ahead. Just a few days ago, Yan Guo attacked Liuhua Town, a hundred miles away, at night, which was called a miserable. ”

For the night attack on Liuhua Town, Chen Yichen naturally knew about it, and he still experienced it himself. But he didn't tell the guy about this, just nodded his head frequently and motioned for him to continue.

"It is also strange to say that Yan Guo took the initiative to provoke a war, but did not attack on a large scale after attacking Liuhua Town at night. This caused a lot of suspicion, and the garrison general of Mocheng suspected that a large number of spies had infiltrated the city, intending to attack inside and outside, so as to break through the city in one fell swoop. The garrison general received an order from the imperial court three days earlier, and 50,000 reinforcements were about to arrive, so he ordered the people in the city to be transferred, leaving only a very small number of young men as wartime servants. ”

"Little brother, I want to ask, why can't you find a horse in this huge city?" Chen Yichen heard him say so much, but there was no practical value.

"Guest officer, what do you think, the people in the city have been transferred, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. How can they walk, just on two legs, I'm afraid they will be tired on the road, what do people need at this time?" Seeing Chen Yichen's blank face, the guy slapped his hands and continued: "The carriage." Not to mention people for the time being, just those rich people, there are countless big boxes and small boxes, so you can't let people carry them. So, as early as a few days ago, the carriages and donkey carts of the entire city of Mocheng left one after another, and now you want to find a horse, which is more difficult than climbing to the sky. ”

"It's not difficult, I see a lot of soldiers riding horses. Chen Yichen thought of this journey, and the horses he saw seemed to be all under the crotch of the soldier.

"My master, that's a military horse, what does a military horse do?" the shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh and said, "The military horse is used by the soldiers when they fight." ”

"Little brother, I naturally know this. As Chen Yichen spoke, he took out a handful of loose silver from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "I don't know if there is a way for the little brother to help us get a horse?"

Looking at the silver on the table, and then at Chen Yichen, the man said slowly: "You two shouldn't be the secret agents sent by Yan Guo, now you need to go back to report the news, I heard today, there were Yan State secret agents gathered to conspire last night, shouldn't there be two of them." ”

The little brother laughed. Hearing this, Li Wanwan's leg under the table lightly touched Chen Yichen, signaling him not to continue, and listened to Li Wanwan continue: "We just happened to pass by here and wanted to go home early, so we were looking for horses. ”

"I see. The man looked at the two of them suspiciously, and said, "The horses of the soldiers are used to protect the land and the people, not ordinary mounts. Let's not say that you can't get it, even if you can get it, you can't go, and in the hands of others, it will play a greater role. Besides, even with just two legs, you two can't get out of the gate of this ink city. ”

This sounds fresh. Why can't you get out?" Chen Yichen became more and more confused the more he listened, and said: "It's so decent, how can you still not get out? ”

"This young master, you are really right. The man gave a thumbs up, picked up the teapot and filled the cup, and continued: "Two hours ago, the garrison general ordered that the four gates be blocked, and that no one should enter or leave. Now the four gates are heavily guarded, and those who violate the order are killed on the spot. ”

"What?"

Chen Yichen and Li Wanwan exclaimed at the same time, and the two looked at each other, deeply uneasy.

"How can this be? Brother Chen, what should we do?" After the auspicious fruit in Li Wanwan's hand fell on the table, it slowly tumbled to the ground.

The ban was issued two hours ago, and it was only more than two hours since he left the inn. If I had known this, I should have gone straight out of the city at that time, but now it seems that it is too late.

"Juan'er, don't worry. Chen Yichen didn't have any countermeasures at this time, and he had just learned about the closure of the city gate, how could he come up with a way so quickly. He took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Little brother, do you know why the city gate was suddenly blocked?"

"I heard that it seems to be because of the spies who gathered last night. It's okay to close the city gates, so that you don't have to worry about them passing on information about the city" The guy shook his head, seemed a little helpless, and said: "It's better that there is still no war, a comfortable life, you see, now, this business can't be done." Yo, I almost forgot, there's still boiling water down there, and you two are eating and drinking. ”

Watching the guys in the tea garden leave, Chen Yichen's head was big. If it's really as he says, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave here anytime soon. I hope that the dispute between the two countries can be eliminated invisibly, so that we can leave early.

"Juan'er, let's go to the city gate first. In the end, Chen Yichen decided to go to the city gate to check in person, and he had a hint of luck in his heart.

Around the city of Mocheng, the four gates of the east, west, north and south were checked one by one, but there were no exceptions. The four gates are closed, heavily guarded, and the notices posted on the walls are clearly written, the big war is coming, the whole city is under martial law, it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city, and those who violate the order are killed on the spot.

It was getting late, and the day was so wasted, and the two of them were anxious, but there was nothing they could do. The current plan can only be temporarily settled in Mocheng.

I wanted to find an inn nearby, but I turned around and found that Mocheng was far more desolate than I imagined. In the huge city, there are more than 1,000 people in the city, and only one inn in the city is still open.

When he came to the inn again, the shopkeeper recognized the two of them at a glance, walked forward quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Yo, isn't this the little hero who killed the secret agent last night?"

"It's still yesterday's room, no one lives in it. Chen Yichen's heart was full of remorse, and he was somewhat happy to hear the shopkeeper call himself a hero.

"You are a big hero, how can you still live in such a rough room, there are good suites upstairs, the price is the same, to ensure that you are satisfied. ”

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Chen Yichen smiled and said, "The Xiao Gongzi who came with us yesterday is still living upstairs." ”

"Yo, I'll tell you the truth, you two didn't have much effort after leaving, and this guest master left. The shopkeeper led the way in front, and said as he walked: "I can't see that the three guest masters have a lot of identity." ”

"How do you say this?" Li Wanwan was also interested when he heard him say this.

"You two don't know yet. The shopkeeper suddenly stopped, looked at the two suspiciously, and said, "Aren't the three of you together?"

"Yes, definitely. Li Wanwan found that the shopkeeper wanted to speak and stopped, so he hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "We have something to do in the morning and leave first, but we forgot to tell him when we were separated, stay here and wait for us." ”

"I see. When I saw this little hero kill the spy last night, I knew that the three were not ordinary people. The guest master wrote a note and sent me to the general's mansion, and then two military masters came to pick him up. The shopkeeper looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "That guest master also told the little one not to tell anyone about this, I know that the three of them have special identities." You can rest assured, the entire inn, as far as my mouth is concerned, is the strictest. ”

"Yes, yes. Li Wanwan was silent, deliberately lowered her voice, and said, "Little second brother, did you see what was written on that note?"

"I really haven't seen this, and the little ones can't read. As he spoke, the shopkeeper raised his finger and pointed to his mouth, and said again: "Don't worry, you can be strict." ”

Walking slowly down the stairs to the second floor, two long swords suddenly stood together, blocking the path of the three of them. Chen Yichen was slightly stunned, looked up, and there were two people standing at the staircase, about thirty years old, with their hair in a high bun, expressionless, and wearing purple and black robes.

"Who?" only one of the men spoke, but there was no emotion in his words.

"Passers-by. Chen Yichen replied subconsciously, looking up slightly at the clothes of the two, who seemed to be very familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

"We booked this inn. I saw him take out a gold leaf from his arms and throw it to the shopkeeper.

"This uncle......" The shopkeeper had already taken the gold leaf in his hand as he spoke, but his brows were furrowed, and he said, "These two uncles, I'm afraid there is something wrong." ”

"What, isn't there enough money?"

Seeing the other party's eyes glaring at him, the shopkeeper shook his head again and again, and said: "Two uncles, these two guest officers lived in the small shop last night, and they went out to run errands early this morning, and they didn't come back until dark. ”

"In this way, it is very difficult to do the second shop. Hearing the shopkeeper's answer, one of them slowly raised his arm and shook his finger sword.

"No, no, no. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he took two steps back, if it wasn't for Chen Yichen pushing him behind, he would have rolled down the stairs at this time.

After standing firmly, Xiao Er looked up at the two upstairs, knowing in his heart that he couldn't offend anyone. In the morning, I watched the military master pick up their companions, and the two masters in front of them were by no means good. What's more, there were seven of them, and these were only two of them. How good is that?

"You two, so unreasonable. Li Wanwan, who was standing at the end, suddenly stepped forward, raised her hand and pointed to the two people standing at the top of the stairs, and continued: "Can you be willful if you have money? Can you do anything wrong if you have a sword? Today, this girl wants to live here." ”

Chen Yichen heard her say this, his head was big, and he was still thinking in his heart just now, since he couldn't live upstairs, he would live downstairs, anyway, there was a guest room below, and he was about to speak, but he was preempted by Li Wanwan.

There is more than one big head, and when the shopkeeper heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, and said secretly: It's over, don't fight these two groups of people. Thinking of this, he hurriedly spoke: "Uncles, uncles, don't be angry......"

"Shut up for me. Li Wanwan turned her head and glared at the shopkeeper, trapped in Mocheng, she was already unhappy in her heart, she held her anger in her stomach, and she didn't spread it all the time. Turning around, his angry little face turned pale, he raised his arm and pointed at the two, and said angrily, "You get out of the way for me." ”

The two upstairs didn't hear this in their ears at all, they glanced at it contemptuously, and one of them said slowly: "Hmph." Where did the yellow-haired wild girl come from, and she dared to be wild here. If it weren't for the fact that you are still young, you would have been beaten out of the door at this moment. ”

"You dare. Chen Yichen was also quite annoyed when he heard this, and he also knew in his heart that he was definitely not their opponent. Since his fiancée has said such things, it is a little too much to continue to be timid. He drew out the short sword that was more than a foot long, and blocked it sideways in front of Li Wanwan.

"Huh?" one of them saw the short sword in his hand, his eyes widened, and then he laughed: "Haha, little brother, your foot-long knife has just been dug out of the grave." Man, go get some water, prepare a stone by the way, let him grind it a few times. ”

"You...... You've gone too far. When Chen Yichen heard them say this, he suddenly became angry, and he held a short sword in his hand and slashed at the railing.

"Click". The wooden railing made a muffled noise, revealing the new wood inside.
