195. 193: Riot at the city gates

After another night's journey, I didn't see the gate of the capital until noon the next day, Tang Li and they didn't sleep all night in order to get to the capital as soon as possible, at this time everyone's energy was a little tired, even Hua Yuying, who was hypnotized, also looked haggard a lot, Tang Li looked at the tall city gate, exhaled, finally arrived.

"Let's go, hold on a little longer and rest." Tang Li said to everyone.

And Shuo Feng was staring closely at the guards above the city wall, how did he feel that there were so many more than before? It seemed to be heavily guarded and the atmosphere was tense, and as soon as the group arrived at the city gate, they heard a faint commotion from inside, and a row of guards guarding outside the city gate saw Tang Li and shouted: "Who is coming, dismount!" ”

So fierce, Tang Li glared at the fierce guard and said, "Ordinary people, I want to enter the city." ”

"What's the matter with going into the city?" The guard asked again.

, this is also a question? Tang Li wanted to point at the guard's nose and coaxingly said, "The old lady is taking the future emperor into the city, get out!" But considering that she might be wanted by the whole city after saying this, she had to say honestly: "I come to see the prosperity of the capital, experience the sacredness of life at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and hope that the eldest brother will let us in." ”

Now the capital is already in chaos, the general has an order, those who enter the city must be strictly checked one by one, and no suspicious characters must be allowed to enter the city, because now many countries are eyeing the turbulent Cangxing country, if some spies are mixed in, and the national situation of the Cangxing country at this time is reported back, that plundering war must begin!

"Where did it come from, say the name." The fierce appearance of the guards made Tang Li really angry, and she asked a lot of questions, as if she was checking the household registration, and before she had time to lose her temper, Shuofeng behind her rode over.

"Do you want to check on me?" Shuo Feng is rare to be so domineering, sitting on the back of the horse condescendingly and coldly asked the guard, the guard first looked at Shuo Feng carefully for a while, and suddenly his face was shocked, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and bent down respectfully and said: "It turned out to be the commander of Shuo Feng!" The subordinate was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't recognize it, so may I ask," the guard looked up and continued cautiously, "Are these also friends with the Commander?" ”

"Well, now that the emperor is missing, they are the people I hired to come back to help find clues, don't mention this matter to anyone, otherwise be careful of your head." Shuofeng's majestic aura impressed Tang Li, and she thought that this man would always only be the kind of groveling appearance in front of Nangong Ze.

Shuo Feng is Nangong Ze's henchman secret guard, Nangong Ze almost does everything with Shuo Feng's participation, these guards all know, compared to the general, this commander seems to be closer to Nangong Ze, now Nangong Ze has disappeared, Shuo Feng suddenly appeared in this time period, there must be something hidden, this guard naturally did not dare to say nonsense, he waved his hand to open the city gate, and then respectfully watched Shuo Feng and his party enter the city.

"Eh, I didn't expect your identity to be quite good!" Tang Li said to Shuo Feng with a grin, and Shuo Feng smiled a little embarrassed.

The city gate of Cangxing Country has three floors, it is very strict, and it is opened one after another, and the noise that is getting clearer and clearer makes Tang Li and them frown, what's going on? Why is this city gate so noisy? When the last gate opened, the scene suddenly returned to quiet, and the people who were clashing with the guards all looked at Tang Li and them blankly, full of puzzlement, everyone was in a hurry to go out and flee, and there were still people who came in stupidly?

A few people who reacted faster rushed over while the city gate was still closed, trying to force their way out, but several guards immediately stopped them and slashed one of the people's arms with their knives, and then the crowd began to erupt again.

Tang Li looked at the chaotic crowd and was dumbfounded, what kind of trouble is this?

"Let's find a place to settle down first." Amu looked at the crowd that was squeezing in waves, frowned, and even the horses under him were squeezed to stand unsteadily, Tang Li also tried to pull the reins to stabilize the horses under him, and nodded: "Okay, let's find a small inn." Then the group left the city gate and entered a street with fewer people.

After entering the capital, the scene they saw all the way made Tang Li and the others dumbfounded, where was this still the prosperous and rich capital at that time, how long had it been since they left, many places here were about to become ruins, many shops were closed, and there was a long queue outside the money village to withdraw money, a scene before the escape, Tang Li almost thought that he was looking for the wrong place.

"What to do, it seems that many inns are closed." Ah Liu looked at the shops that were closed one after another, and the inn where the signboards were hanging on the door and no one cared about it, and said.

"Has this capital been ransacked?" Tang Li smacked his tongue.

I didn't expect the situation in the capital to be chaotic to such a point, Shuo Feng looked at the desolate scene silently, and felt very uncomfortable, and the group searched for a long time before they found a very remote inn. You can also raise the price to earn more.

"How many guest officers, eat or stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper ran to Tang Li happily and asked.

"Yes, please help us take the horse to the stable first." Tang Li replied.

Xiao Er said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll call someone to come and lead the horse," he shouted towards the store, and another man dressed as Xiao Er also walked out, and after the two Xiao Er said a few words, one led the horse to the stable, and the other enthusiastically took Tang Li and them into the inn.

"What do you want to eat?" After Xiao Er waited for Tang Li and the others to sit down, he asked, Hua Yuying, who looked stupid and stupid, made him can't help but look at it a few times, is he mentally retarded?

Amu looked at the deserted store, just a table of guests, this inn is estimated to have no guests for a long time, and I don't know if there are any dishes to eat, he asked, "What other dishes do you have in the store?" ”

Xiao Er said a little melancholy: "A month ago, there were all kinds of dishes, and now, there are only some simple dishes, guest officer, you should have seen it along the way, now the capital is in chaos like this, there is no way to even buy a dish, what can you choose, you can only have something, what to eat, just don't starve to death." ”

"Okay, let's just serve a few dishes, by the way, do you still have a room to live in?" Tang Li asked after finishing the dish.

"The room is still there, it's clean, and the guest officer is satisfied!" Xiao Ermei said with a smile, I didn't expect that there would be good business to do at this time, and it would be good to earn more money before fleeing.

Tang Li waved his hand: "Then you go and prepare meals, we may have to stay for a few days." ”

"Great!" After the shopkeeper answered, he got behind a curtain and went to cook.

The scene Nangong Heng saw just now made him feel very uncomfortable, after all, this is still the world of the Nangong family, and now even the capital is so dilapidated and dilapidated, you can imagine what other places will be like, he looked at the table in a daze silently, the same, Shuo Feng was also in a daze, he was thinking about what to do next, it is not a good way to stay in the inn all the time, the first thing to do now is to find some ministers who are willing to become allies, otherwise he alone will not be able to put Nangong Heng on the throne.

"Nangong Heng, take it easy, I'm going to unravel Yuying's hypnosis, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold it if it goes on like this." Tang Li reminded Nangong Heng, and Nangong Heng nodded.

Tang Li gently touched Hua Yuying's shoulder with her fingers: "Hua Yuying, wake up." ”

Hua Yuying's body stiffened, and slowly softened again, although a pair of eyes regained their senses, they still looked at Tang Li and them in confusion, as if they didn't know why they were here? Then when her eyes came into contact with Nangong Heng again, she immediately became fierce again, and got up to look for the sword everywhere, Tang Li helplessly grabbed her and said, "Don't look for it, I threw your sword." ”

"What ?!!" Hua Yuying glared at Tang Li in disbelief: "Sister, if you don't help me take revenge, forget it, and throw away my sword, you, you, you...... How are you like that! ”

"You're going to fight and kill at every turn, and if you don't give us a chance to explain at all, don't you want to know why I'm friends with the enemy's brother?" Tang Li asked.

Hua Yuying sat down and asked, half angry and half curious: "I want to know, you tell me why." After speaking, she slashed Nangong Heng with her eyes: Wait!

Tang Li has to say it so far, the next actions are all about Nangong Heng, and she can't hide it, and Hua Yuying is straightforward and simple-minded, and she has a general understanding after getting along in the past two days, and it doesn't hurt to tell her, after all, the enemy target is the same.

So Tang Li and Nangong Heng told Hua Yuying everything word by word, but it was not particularly detailed, and after saying a rough idea, Hua Yuying was stupid when she heard it, and she sat there motionless.

"Got it?" After Tang Li finished speaking, she asked Hua Yuying.

Hua Yuying didn't expect the story to be so complicated? It took her a long time to comprehend, and she nodded blankly: "It seems to understand ......"

At this time, Xiao Er came up with a plate of dishes, Tang Li stopped talking, and only after Xiao Er left, did she continue: "So, although Nangong Heng and Nangong Ze are brothers, they are brothers who are strangers to strangers, and they have nothing to do with your revenge at all, and between you and Nangong Ze in the future, Nangong Heng will also stand on our side, you know?" ”

Nangong Heng also nodded seriously: "Miss Yuying, don't worry, I will definitely not harm you." ”

Hua Yuying finally woke up from Tang Li's story, looking at Nangong Heng's sincere eyes, it turned out that he was also a poor man, he grew up in the cold palace since he was a child, and as soon as he came out, he was chased and killed by Nangong Ze with Tang Li, and he still wanted to kill people with a sword...... Hua Yuying felt that she was too confused with personal grievances, and she was a little ashamed.

"I seem to be a little too reckless, I'm sorry......" Hua Yuying whispered.

"Don't hold a sword against him in the future, he doesn't know martial arts." Tang Li said with relief.
