Chapter 216: The Palace's Invitation
Xiao Ding and his servant Liu San drove away from Sanshan Town, preparing to continue north. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the town, he met the two owners of Feilong Mountain and Black Tiger Mountain, the earth-shaking Flying Dragon Aofeng and the earth-shaking Black Tiger Lu Kun, blocking the road and robbing them.
In addition, Xiao Ding also met the gray-clothed men who went to the backyard of Landlord Zhang's house last night.
The two sides didn't agree and fought, but these people didn't expect Xiao Ding to be so brave, a group of people fought around Xiao Ding, and in the end they were all smashed by Xiao Ding The blades in their hands were smashed, and the people in the Spirit Castle were beaten by Xiao Ding to break their arms and legs, and they all fell to the ground and wailed, and Long Aofeng, the owner of the Flying Dragon Cottage, used the Pu knife in his hand to catch a mace smashed by Xiao Ding's head.
As a result, he overestimated his strength. only heard a "click", and his Pu knife was smashed to the ground by Xiao Ding along with his right arm.
Thankfully, he missed the moment of crisis, and instead of hitting his head, the mace hit his right arm. As a result, his entire right arm was smashed off from the joint at the shoulder.
Blood spurted out from the severed shoulder at once, and a miserable howl was then exhaled out of the throat: "Ah——! Long Aofeng covered his shoulder with his left hand and staggered back.
Xiao Ding didn't chase after him, but smashed the mace in his hand at Lu Kun, the owner of the Black Tiger Cottage who was already stunned on the other side.
The scene just now only happened in an instant, and Lu Kun gritted his big teeth and didn't react. At this time, seeing Xiao Ding's mace smashed over, he hurriedly dodged, but Xiao Ding's speed was too fast, and he dodged slowly. The head of the mace slashed Lu Kun's back.
The head of the mace was a huge hammer covered with iron thorns. Lu Kun's back was struck by the iron thorns at the head of the club, and a layer of skin was cut off when he landed, and there were two more blood grooves on his back that were cut by the iron thorns. Blood poured out at once, staining his shirt and pants red.
Lu Kun also: "Ah! With a shout, he dropped the knife in his hand and fled forward.

Xiao Ding saw that the few people who rushed forward just now were all knocked down by himself, and he didn't chase after him.
Seeing that the owner of the village was injured, the two gangs of thieves hurriedly ran forward to rescue all the injured people, along with the broken arms and legs on the ground. In a panic, he found the gold sore medicine and gave it to several injured people.
Among the injured, Lu Kun was the least injured, and when he saw that Xiao Ding was so fierce, he didn't dare to let his subordinates go to death, so he hurriedly shouted: "The wind is tight, pull it!" ”
The minions retreated noisily with a few wounded.
"The wind is tight" and "" are all black words of bandits, which means that the situation is not good, and it means retreat quickly.
After the bandits left, only messy footprints and horseshoe prints were left on the ground, as well as a few blood stains.
Xiao Ding picked up the rag that he had pulled off from someone on the ground and wiped the blood on the head of the mace. Then he walked back to the carriage with a hammer and said to Liu San, who was already stupid: "Let's continue on the road!" ”
Liu San had never seen such a scene. He used to be only a low-level person in the society, and he worked hard all day long to eat a full meal, and was later bought by King Mu to be a servant in Xiao Ding's general's mansion, and he had limited understanding of Xiao Ding's master.
I only knew that my master had joined the army before, fought on the front line, and made meritorious contributions, so he was rewarded by the emperor. He has no concept of what kind of ability Xiao Ding has. He only knew that Xiao Ding had much more strength than other ordinary people. is also moving things to the car, and Xiao Ding carries a lot more than himself every time.
When he encountered a thief today, Liu San's first thought was how to escape. In his opinion, there are hundreds of people on the other side, and there are only two people on his side, no matter how you look at it, they are the one who is slaughtered
As a result, it was too unexpected. I didn't expect his master to be so able to fight, looking at the scene in front of him, he was so frightened that he couldn't react for a long time.
It wasn't until Xiao Ding beckoned him to get on the road that he came back to his senses. I answered with sincere admiration, and then rushed to the road.
The master and servant galloped all the way into Yanzhou.
After two more walks, the two came to the front of Yanzhou City.
Like other regional capitals, the walls of Yanzhou City are just as tall and majestic, and the gate towers reveal a quaint atmosphere. The word "Yanzhou" in the official script is hung high above the city gate.
Liu San drove the carriage forward with the flow of people entering the city. Xiao Ding found that in front of the city gate, there were really a lot of people queuing up to enter the city. Xiao Ding couldn't understand why he had to queue up when he entered the city.
Because along the way, the cities you pass through along the way do not need to queue up when entering the city. There is only Yanzhou City, which is the first city that needs to queue up to enter the city.
Xiao Ding was helpless, as long as he sat in the car and waited patiently. Liu San also honestly drove the car to follow the flow of people.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, it was finally Xiao Ding's turn to be in the carriage.
Liu San drove the car to the gate of the city, and the guards guarding the city stopped the carriage and asked in a loud voice: "Where did it come from?" Where are you going? What's in the car? Is there a way to clear customs? ”
The customs clearance road is a kind of official document issued by the government in this era, such as a letter of introduction and a pass, which is used by ordinary people when they travel long distances. It can be proved that the bearer of the road is innocent.
Before Xiao Ding left, King Mu had already prepared a way for him to clear the customs. So Liu San was not afraid, he said unhurriedly: "Back to the official, we are from Zhongzhou, heading to Yongzhou, passing through here, planning to enter the city to rest and adjust, and then continue on the road." I hope you can make it easier for you. ”
Liu San said, hugging his fists like those guards. And handed over the customs clearance road.
The guard guarding the city took the road and looked at it, "Huh", and asked, "Are you really from the Muwang Mansion in Zhongzhou?" What's on your car? Open the door, we need to check it! ”
Liu San hurriedly replied: "We are indeed from Mu Wangfu, the car is just loaded with some soft belongings, and my general is still sitting in the car, so I don't need to check it!" ”
"Who knows if you will be hiding in your car! Open the car door and talk less! The guard said angrily.
After Xiao Ding heard the speech of the guard outside the car, he knew that this guard must have to be inspected, and he knew in his heart that this guard should be routine, and this inspection should not be avoided.
So he pushed open the door and said, "Whatever you want to check, just check." ”
When the guards saw that the door of the car suddenly opened, and there was a burly young man sitting in the car, and there was a huge mace next to him, they couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "You, you are Tian, General Tian?" ”
The customs clearance road has Xiao Ding's share information written on it, so the guard knows Xiao Ding's name and share.
"I'm Tian Xiaoding, do you have any questions?" Xiao Ding said with a calm face.
The guard hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, General Tian, please enter the city!" The guard said, glancing into the car.
"Aren't you going to check what's in the car?" Xiao Ding asked.
"Since it's General Tian's car, we don't have to check it, I'm sorry General Tian, we're just routine, so much disturbance, much disturbance!" The guard clenched his fists and apologized.
Xiao Ding had doubts in his heart, so he immediately asked: "I want to ask, does this Yanzhou City always need to be strictly inspected when entering the city?" ”
"No, no, it's not like this, there was no need to inspect it before, but in the last month, the magistrate ordered that all people who enter the city must be strictly inspected, and if there are suspicious people, they must not be put into the city." The guard replied truthfully.
"I see, then I don't know why Lord Zhizhou asked you to check on the people who entered the city?" Xiao Ding continued to ask suspiciously.
"It's not because of the king of Yanzhou's birthday! The day after tomorrow is the 60th birthday of our Yanzhou King Song Yuanfang Song Lao Wang, Lord Zhizhou is worried that someone will sneak into Yanzhou, which is not good for Song Lao Wangye, so he sent people to guard the four gates of Yanzhou City and strictly inspect the people who enter the city. The guard explained.
When Xiao Ding heard it, he understood. It turns out that there is also a king of Yanzhou living in this Yanzhou city! The name is Song Yuanfang, which must also be the emperor's brother or something, just like Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou.
Since he is a relative of the emperor, this Yanzhou governor will definitely be very attentive, and there must be no problems at his birthday banquet.
In the same section, Xiao Ding did not ask any more. Tell Liu San to drive the carriage into the city.
Liu San agreed, and drove into the city.
Yanzhou City is located in the Central Plains region, extending in all directions, prosperous commerce, densely populated, and the prosperity scene is not inferior to that of Kyoto Zhongzhou City.
The master and servant walked on the street for a while, and then found a first-class inn and opened two rooms to live in.
The price of the first-class inn is relatively expensive, and it is not a festival at this time, so there are still a lot of vacant rooms in the inn.
It was almost noon. The two went downstairs, came to the hall on the first floor of the inn, asked the innkeeper for a few drinks and food, and began to eat.
The skills of the inn chef are not bad, and there are many people who eat in the inn, most of whom are guests.
Xiao Ding and Liu San were eating and drinking, but they were also relaxed.
Liu San's amount of alcohol is not bad, and he didn't get drunk after drinking a few glasses with Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding drank the wine of this inn, obviously thinking that it was not as good as the "beauty drunk" wine of Zhongzhou "Shun Fuhua". Therefore, there is no excessive drinking.
The two of them only drank a pot of wine, about a little more than a catty.
After lunch, the two went back to their rooms. Xiao Ding was thinking about whether to go out to visit Yanzhou City in the afternoon, when suddenly the innkeeper led this official to Xiao Ding's room.
When Xiao Ding asked, he found out that it was a person sent by the Yanzhou Palace, who came to place an invitation and invited Xiao Ding to the palace for a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow.
gave the person who sent the invitation a few broken silver carts and sent them out of the inn, but Xiao Ding thought in his heart, how did this king of Yanzhou know that he had arrived in Yanzhou? Why did he invite himself to the feast?
