Chapter 254: The City Gate Was Struck

"You are?"

Shang Guan Sinan, who was patrolling the stalls of free clinics everywhere, saw a somewhat familiar girl blocking in front of him, but he couldn't think of anything.

Zixiao lowered her head and said, "My young lady sent me, she is about to enter the city, but she will not come to meet you for the time being." ”

Shangguan Sinan hurriedly pulled Zixiao to a secluded corner and asked, "Why?" ”

Zixiao whispered, "She and General Murong will each bring people and enter the city separately. ”

Shangguan Si Nan asked puzzledly: "She also wants to bring a team of people in?" And what attention did she pay? ”

Zixiao nodded and said, "I heard that Miss said so. ”

Shangguan Sinan asked suspiciously, "Did something happen on the way you came?" ”

Zixiao glanced at the people walking back and forth outside, and said cautiously, "Let's wait for Miss to explain to you later." When the lady comes in, she will come to you secretly. There were too many people here, so I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Zixiao left.

Si Nan walked outside with a lot of heart, and when he saw Elder Li who was sweating profusely, he moved his mouth, and finally turned around to find Sixth Elder Qing'er.

But the Great Elder, who saw that Shangguan Si Nan's face was wrong, followed closely behind, which made Shang Guan Si Nan become more and more irritable.

"Great Elder, there are so many things going on here, what are you always following me for?"

Shangguan Si Nan asked in a somewhat unkind tone.

The Great Elder pointed to the face of Shang Guan Nan and said, "I see that you have a bad face, Dean, and I am afraid that something will happen to you, so I want to follow you." ”

At this time, he stopped the lawsuit. Say it's okay, people have already seen it from their faces; Let's say something, how can Yurun's matter be casually told to others.

What's more, this Great Elder was a little strange, and it was in order to find out the reason why the Great Elder was weird that he personally followed Xishu.

Annoyed, Sinan had to move out the Xuanyuan Xiao he had seen before, and said: "What else can I do, it's just that I met Ah Xiao yesterday, but he is still obsessed with what happened back then." Alas, you go get busy, I'll go for a walk. ”

After saying that, Si Nan didn't care whether the Great Elder believed it or not, and walked away alone.

In other words, since the six elders entered Xishu, they rarely appeared in front of everyone.

Although several elders asked several times, the lawsuit was perfunctory on the grounds of carrying out the task.

Everyone wondered, but they didn't ask any more. After all, the Sixth Elder didn't know how to heal at all, so it was useless to stay here.

Only the Great Elder had been staring at Si Nan's movements from time to time in order to know what task the Sixth Elder was performing.

But who is the lawsuit, not only Ouyang Kun, the most prestigious figure in Kyushu back then, but also his only apprentice, is also the dean of Lingshan Academy who has been second only to Ouyang Kun in martial arts cultivation for hundreds of years, and his cunning and sensitivity can be imagined.

The reason why Sinan has been silent in the lawsuit is just to force the Great Elder to show his flaws.

At this time, the skeptical elder was of course suspicious of Si Nan's words, but he didn't want to anger Si Nan, so he nodded and didn't follow up.

After walking a distance, Si Nan looked around again, and after making sure that no one was following, he quickened his pace and continued to walk forward.

In this area of Xishu, Pai Gow, bathhouses, and teahouses can be seen everywhere, especially Tiandu Mansion is even more lively.

It's just that natural disasters have come this year, so that the entire Xishu is in a state of collapse, and these industries are still barely supported by Tiandu, as the capital.

But the number of patrons is not as good as in the past, but some people come in and out.

If you want to say that the most guests are the teahouse of Yunlaike, if you want to say the reason, it is natural that the boss here cooperates with the Qingqi Garden next door in order to attract business, so that the guests who come to drink tea here can not only hear the storytelling, but also see all kinds of Qingqi celebrity performances.

The most important thing is the price, which is one-third less than the silver taels originally consumed in the two places combined, so the customer flow is naturally much more than that of other places.

After striding into the cloud guest, Si Nan found a private room in the most corner and sat down.

"Sir, do you want tea?"

A familiar voice came into the ears of Shangguan Sinan.

Shangguan Si Nan turned his head and saw a fair-skinned, handsome-looking tea boy handing over the menu, standing respectfully beside him, waiting for him to order.

"Make me a cup of pu'er." Si Nan didn't look at the menu, and said directly.

The tea boy took back the menu and left.

As the babbling and singing on the stage came, the tea boy walked in again with a tea tray.

Shangguan Si Nan followed the singing voice on the stage and beat it on the table, and said with enjoyment on his face: "It's not the first time to come to Xishu, this time I really enjoyed it, and this singing voice has a unique charm." ”

"Then you can have a few more drinks here."

After the tea boy lowered his head and skillfully warmed the utensils, placed the tea, and brewed, he poured a cup of tea and served it with both hands.

Shangguan Si Nan smelled the fragrance of tea from the tea cup, his eyes lit up, he took a sip lightly, and said, "Well, it's good, good tea." ”

"Thank you."

The tea boy lowered his head and continued to repeat the movements in his hands, his attentiveness and concentration were no different from those of other tea boys.

The tea boy is a relatively good profession here, with skillful craftsmanship and a pleasing appearance, the tea boy can not only receive a fixed salary every day, but also get the reward money given by the guests, which is a profession that is not hard and has a good income.

Shangguan Sinan took another sip of tea and asked, "Can I order music here?" ”

The tea boy nodded and said, "Naturally, there is paper and pen on the table, what you want to hear can be told directly, or you can write it down." ”

Shangguan Si Nan nodded and said, "Yes, if you listen to it, you may be able to write a poem casually." ”

The tea boy put down the tea set in his hand, moved it to the side, and began to grind ink for the lawsuit.

After writing a lot of papers, Si Nan stood up and straightened his clothes, and said, "Alas, I am not satisfied with a few of them." I still don't listen to it today, so I'll come back another day. ”

As he spoke, Shangguan Si Nan put two ingots of silver on the table, and then left.

After the tea boy cleaned up the table, he picked up the silver taels and left the private room.

That night, the Great Elder knocked on the door of the Sixth Elder Qing'er's room.

The door opened, and Qing'er stood curiously in front of the Great Elder.

"Great Elder, are you looking for me?" Qing'er gave up her position and asked the Great Elder to come in.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "I won't come in and sit, the dean said that you went on a mission, but you haven't returned for a few days, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”

Qing'er said gratefully, "Oh, I'm fine, it's okay." ”

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then what mission did the Dean ask you to perform?" Need my help? ”

Qing'er shook her head and said, "The mission is over, thank you, Great Elder." ”

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the Great Elder nodded and said, "It's not early, so you should rest early." ”

With that, the Great Elder went back to his room.

Early the next morning, several elders were very happy when they saw Qing'er returning, saying that she had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and that she should have a good rest in the inn.

Qing'er said pitifully: "When I first came out, I met the dean, and the dean told me to go out of the city to collect medicine today. So there's no rest again. ”

Elder Li stroked his beard and said, "This medicinal herb is indeed a little nervous, the number of displaced people here is completely beyond our estimate. In addition, the Shu Road was destroyed, and we brought a lot less things when we came in from the small road. It doesn't matter if you and the dean go to collect medicines, the elders here can't even recognize all the medicinal materials. ”

The Great Elder looked at Elder Li and then at Qing'er, and proposed, "Don't bother the dean about this medicine collection, let's go over with Qing'er." ”

"Oh? The Great Elder has this thought, but it gives me a chance to be lazy, haha......" Shangguan Si Nan walked over and said.

Qing'er picked up the basket and said, "Great Elder, let's set off now." ”

The Great Elder didn't expect that Sinan would be so easy to talk to, but it was too late to regret it.

"Okay, let's go early and come back early." The Great Elder picked up another basket on the ground and left with Qing Er.

Shangguan Si Nan patted the back of several elders and urged: "Okay, okay, the students will come down later." It's time for you to get ready and go. ”

"Yes."

The elders said in unison.

Since separating from Murong Chenhe's army, Yurun's girls pretended to be village girls who had fled, and followed behind Lao Huang's team not far away.

After a day and a night of hurrying, Lao Huang and the others finally arrived less than ten miles away from the city gate.

"You will each disperse into the city, and when you are in the city, you will meet in the ruined temple."

Lao Huang gathered everyone together and told again.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

Everyone responded in unison.

After saying that, everyone dispersed.

"Run'er, let's go into the city too." Zhao Ling'er said a little anxiously.

Yurun shook his head and said, "No, I have to watch them all go in and go in again." ”

"Are you afraid they won't be able to get in?" Jiang Peipei asked curiously.

Yurun nodded and said, "I don't know if the guards here in Tiandu are strict, if they can't get in, then I can only find another way." ”

Jiang Peipei touched her chin and said, "They all ripped their good clothes to tatters, and the whole person was disgraced, I don't think there should be any problem." ”

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Yurun saw that he was about to lose his sight of Lao Huang and the others, and hurriedly said.

Tiandu is the capital of Xishu, so the city gate is quite domineering.

There are a lot of soldiers standing on the tall city wall, and there are two mighty stone lions standing at the vermilion city gate, I don't know whether it is due to natural disasters or other reasons, in addition to the city gate officials, there are officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth at the city gate.

In order to make a better observation, Yurun and Zhao Ling'er, Jiang Peipei simply jumped directly onto a hidden tree.

"Run'er, Lao Huang, they are about to go in, but you see so many officers and soldiers at the city gate, do you think they will succeed?" Zhao Ling'er asked worriedly.

Yurun said uncertainly: "I don't know, I can only depend on luck." The bad thing is that the clothes of Lao Huang and several people are the same color, which is inevitably suspicious. ”

Sure enough, Yurun's worries came true.

After a few had just blended in, the others who were hiding in the crowd were stopped.

"Stop! You two stand for me! ”

The officers and soldiers on patrol shouted loudly.

The city gate officer heard the voice and walked over, and asked the officers and soldiers who took the lead, "Captain Xue, there is a problem with these people?" ”

This Captain Xue didn't pay attention to the city gate official's question at all, but hit the two people in front of him hard.

"Say, Who are you? What the fuck do I think you guys are in the same league as the guy who just went in? ”

Captain Xue asked as he played.

The two pretended to be helpless, and squatted on the ground without saying a word and let Captain Xue beat and scold.

The city gate official looked at the longer and longer queues of people entering the city behind him, and stepped forward to persuade: "Captain Xue, I see that these two people are in tatters, and there is no sign of fighting back at all. I don't think it's going to be a problem, so let's let them in. ”

"Smack!"

Captain Xue gave the city gate official a backhand slap and scolded: "You also care about Lao Tzu's affairs? ”
