Chapter 6: The Savior Has Arrived
It was cloudy from the morning, and it was just after noon when the snow fell. It's not big, but it's like a curtain hung up like a mess, and the visibility is very low. By the time the city gate was about to close, it was as dark as night, the snow was slippery, and it was impossible to see people's faces clearly after three paces.
Huo Jiajun's old department, after entering Beijing with Huo Honglian, was degraded again and again for repeatedly violating military regulations, and Cheng Ge, who had been demoted to the city gate official, was still sitting in the city gate cave in such a cold weather. On such a cold day, he did not wrap his whole body in thick cotton clothes like the other three colleagues, nor did he shiver and hug his chest to avoid the wind. His posture is straight and he maintains the posture of a good soldier.
"It's all reduced to being a watchdog, what kind of general is there!" The three city gate officials gathered in a circle and hid in the corner. One of them couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cheng Ge, his voice was extremely low, and his face was full of disdain.
"Dogs are not the same as dogs, in the end, people have been rich." Another sarcastically said, "Besides, young and handsome people are popular." See? Under the official uniform is a serious leather robe, which I heard was given by a little widow in the high gate. ”
The three of them laughed lewdly for a while, exchanging "you know" glances with each other. Then the man sighed again, "It's like us, being a dog is also an old leper dog, and people look down on it everywhere." He patted his body again, "The official uniform issued by the yamen looks good on the outside, but the inside is full of reeds, which does not block the cold at all." Even we deducted, and I don't know how the soldiers are outside. ”
The last man ignored the second half of the sentence, and only said indignantly, "He is young and strong, and he is warmly dressed, but he doesn't care whether others live or die." In this kind of weather, how can anyone go out of the city and into the city? The city gate was closed early, so let's go back early, so that the hot house is hot and the kang is hot, and the fire can be baked. He is so serious, he has to wait until the time of the city to close! Really, is it guilty? ”
The man from before spread his hands and said, "What can I do?" The official level crushed people to death. Originally, he was not in the same class as us, so why did he take turns to be in one place? Alas, wait! It would be nice to stay up for another half an hour. ”
As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the city. The three of them were surprised and turned their heads to look at each other.
I saw that in the vast snowy field, a few people were coming quickly. It was only a few small black dots just now, but soon it was clear that there were six of them, all wrapped in black cloaks. They were obviously in a hurry to get into the city, and they were not afraid of falling on their backs on their horses because of the slippery road. Look at the horses again. Tall and strong, the divine horse is abnormal, and it is by no means owned by ordinary people. That is to say, those who come are either rich or expensive.
The three little officials looked at each other, and were about to meet them, but the leader threw something.
There were still more than ten zhang apart, and the man was still on the horse, and he didn't mean to get off the horse, and his speed did not decrease. But. He has a lot of strength, and he definitely has martial arts. And that thing was the size of a palm, carrying the wind and snow, and shooting like an arrow. If you can't get it. If you slap it in the face, you will be crushed and eat with a mouthful of dick.
The three little officials groaned at the same time, hugged their heads and hid. Behind him, Cheng Ge stood there at some point, catching the flying object steadily.
It's a waist card.
Cheng Ge glanced at it. Immediately dodged away, out of the way, holding the waist card high in his hand. He reminded loudly, "His Royal Highness King Jin, there was a fire on Beishi Street last night, and the road may still be being repaired at this time, please detour." ”
"Thank you." In the wind and snow, Xiao Zhen's voice sounded muffled.
In a moment, the horsemen and horses had already flown past the city gate, and the one who fell behind was very thin, and by the way, he took the waist card that Cheng Ge respectfully held in his hand.
"Yes...... Is it His Royal Highness the King of Jin? Really? When the pedestrian disappeared into the wide streets and alleys of Tokyo, a small official asked, his voice trembling a little, "Why did you go back to the city at this time?" ”
"He is holding the golden dragon waist card exclusive to the prince." Cheng Ge nodded, "And I've seen His Royal Highness King Jin, and his face is right." ”
"You can see that the horse is running so fast, and the wind is protecting its head?" Another little official was puzzled, "Tianhuang nobles travel, why do you bring these guards, isn't it too child's play?" ”
"In such a hurry, there must be something important, is it possible that you still want to stop and ask?" Cheng Ge snorted.
"Fortunately, the city gate was not closed, otherwise leaving this one outside would delay any major national event, and the errand of guarding the city gate will not be able to keep the small matter, and the head will not be able to protect the big thing." The third official had palpitations.
The three of them exchanged glances again, and they all felt that they were lucky today, and they were stained with Cheng Ge's light.
But Cheng Ge stood in place, watching the figure of His Royal Highness King Jin go farther and farther. At this moment, a firework suddenly burst out of the sky, although it was fleeting, but it was particularly dazzling in the gloomy sky.
"It's not the New Year yet, who will set off fireworks?"
"Seems to be near the city gates."
"If you startle a noble man's horse, it is death."
Cheng Ge ignored the nagging of the three little officials, his face was calm, but his eyes showed a mocking look, pretending not to see the rapidly disappearing black shadow on the roof of a nearby house.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, I wish you a smooth trip." He murmured.
At this time, Xiao Zhen led people into the city, but slowed down the pace of progress.
It was cold and dark, and although there were few pedestrians on the street, there were people who had begged for a day to live and hurried home. If you ride too fast, it's easy to hurt people.
When the fireworks went off, he noticed it, but didn't look up. Because the windshield of the cloak weighed down so deep and low that even his chin was hidden in the shadows, and no one could see the lines on the corners of his lips. However, the golden dragon embroidered on the corner of the cloak, as well as his horse, and the iron-blooded guards behind him, all marked his identity.
From the East City Gate to Shuifu, almost the entire capital, after Xiao Zhen and his party entered the city, they went directly to Shuifu. And just as he was on his way, a carriage broke down in the middle of the road. The driver was busy repairing the car, and several angry men came over, winked at each other, and without saying a word, went directly to open the car door.
In the car, two women were sitting in the car, startled by the sudden movement of the stranger, and couldn't help but scream.
"Ouch, it's two beauties!" The rascal's eyes lit up and he smiled.
"A few masters! Uncles, please don't ......" The coachman hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but before he could finish speaking, a certain hooligan punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious.
"The snow is deep and cold, where are the two girls going?" The hooligan at the head asked inside the car, and he raised his foot to get into the car.
The maid-like woman was so frightened that she threw the teapot out of the house, forcing the rascal to retreat and shouting, "Who are you?" Go away! ”
"We're rangers." The rascal temper at the head laughed well. "Ranger is very chivalrous, and he specializes in caring for the elderly, weak, women and children. It's so late, there are so many bad guys, why don't you give the girls a ride, brother? ”
"You're the bad guys, go away!" The maid barked again.
"Girl, how can we say that we are bad people?" The hooligan boss put on a serious look, "Obviously, you don't know me. So I think. It is necessary to get along with each other and get to know each other well. As he spoke, he was going to get in the car for the second time.
The maid was in a hurry, and whatever she had at hand, she grabbed it and threw it out. But fortunately, the hooligan was very flexible in dodging, and none of them hit. Outside, the rest couldn't stop laughing. This area is very secluded, and there is not even a person passing by.
"This is the capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom, do you still have a royal law? Don't get out of the way. I'm going to report to the police! The hostess finally spoke. Although the tone was stern, the voice was delicate, and it sounded not threatening at all.
"Ahh No, no, no. Half of my body was numb. One of the hooligans outside laughed.
"I'll tell you, it's a brilliant one. Lao Tzu has been in Tokyo for so many years, and he has never seen this kind of superlative. The hooligan leader said, looking at the woman's hairstyle. laughed disgustingly, "I've been married, I like people's wives." ”
Then. The maid had nothing to throw away. Seeing this, the hooligan leader boarded the car in just one step, one in each hand, and forcibly pulled two women.
The two women struggled desperately, screaming for help, looking extremely desperate on this snowy night. But even if they are two and the other party is only one, they are still not opponents, and they are pulled out of the car. As soon as your feet hit the ground, you are immediately firmly enclosed in the middle.
"It's a pity that the coachman is gone." A hooligan pinched the girl's face, "It's better to go home with my brothers, and talk about it after this night." If I freeze to death outside, won't it seem that I am not in good order in Tokyo? ”
"That's it." The other touched the young woman's slender waist and said with a smile, "You look so attractive, your man is willing to let you go out alone, and he is also a poor man." Why don't you follow me, or maybe my brothers? ”
"Don't come here! I'll kill myself if I come again! The young woman pulled out the hairpin from her head and aimed it at her snowy neck. It's a pity that the hand was raised, but it was knocked off again, and the person was picked up entirely.
"Let go of me! Help me! Come on, help! ”
The laughter was mixed with shrill cries and cries for help. Seeing that the two women were about to be forcibly taken away, a voice that obviously did not belong to this farce interjected, "In broad daylight, you actually robbed the people on the street, are you impatient?" ”
When everyone followed the prestige, they saw a group of people standing at the corner of the street at some point.
The savior has arrived!
"Where did it come from in broad daylight, tomorrow and tomorrow will be dark...... a certain hooligan didn't see the person who came for a while, and he couldn't tell the situation in his excitement, so he couldn't help but talk nonsense. It's a pity that before he finished speaking, he was hit in the throat by a hidden weapon that broke through the air, and he fell straight down.
There was a moment of silence, and then the hooligans threw down the two women, turned and fled.
People who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard are actually very good at judging the situation. Seeing that there are six or seven people on his side, there are also six or seven people on the other side, but the quality is far behind. People have horses and knives, they look well-trained, and a few amateur villains can use a fart, so why don't you run?
But the people who came didn't let them run, and the leader waved his hand gently, and the four horsemen behind him immediately went to chase the hooligans who fled in all directions, only a thin guard did not move, and stood firmly behind him.
"Xie Lu Xie Engong!" Two women with disheveled sideburns threw themselves on the snow and in front of their horses, "Thank you for saving your life." ”
But the man turned the horse's head, as if he couldn't stand this salute, and said at the same time, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be polite. It's me, Xiao Jiulang. ”
