Chapter Twenty-Six: Pingyin Station
Unitary time
As the sun sets, the waning moon slowly rises.
The sky became dark, and a black curtain shrouded the land of Dahan.
The south gate of Pingyin City
The soldiers guarding the gate held a long lance and shouted at the city gate, urging: "Close the gate, close the gate!" If you want to go out, hurry up! ”
"If you don't hurry up, you will be locked up in the city, and you will bear the consequences!"
Immediately, the people who were slowly preparing to leave the city ran one after another, lest they be locked up in the city.
Now the curfew is strict, and if you stay in the city and have no place to live, you will be escorted back by the garrison of Pingyin City for interrogation.
"Okay, okay, brother, why bother talking nonsense with them, just close the door, I'm still waiting for the change of guard to go for recreation."
The soldier surnamed Gao nodded and said, "That's what I said."
Immediately, the two of them walked to the gate hole, and together they pushed the huge wooden gate out.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There was a violent tremor on the ground, as if the earth dragon had flipped over.
"What's the situation?" The soldier surnamed Gao was confused, stopped pushing the door, walked out of the city gate, and looked into the distance.
His eyes suddenly widened, his heart hung in the air, and he exclaimed, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Hurry up and close the gates! ”
Due to the interference of the night and the dust raised, he could not see the exact number of people coming, and could only clearly see that a large group of men and horses with long lances were galloping wildly, trying to get close to Pingyin City. What's the situation? Could it be that some princes and kings plan to send troops to attack Daiguo?
No, the princes and kings were all blocked from the Hangu Pass, how could they break through the pass?
Huns?
Neither can it! How could the Xiongnu appear at the south gate, even if they came in, they should be at the north gate.
"Crunch!"
The soldiers guarding the gate went into battle together, threw away their lances, and began to push the gates.
"Boom!"
The gates are closed.
"Huh!"
Several latches were inserted.
"Dangdang!"
"Knock knock!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Get ready for battle!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Dangdang! Knock knock!"
In the dark night, gongs and drums are played at the same time, intertwined, circling, surrounding, and soaring into the sky.
Inform all the soldiers defending the city that there is an enemy situation!
"Dada-da-da!"
"Da Da Da!"
"Dada!"
The sound of noisy footsteps filled the night.
Not daring to hesitate, in an instant, hundreds of soldiers rushed up the city wall together, all wearing cloth armor and holding sharp blades.
Dozens of soldiers with a small crossbow appeared above the city.
"Buzz!" The sound of a crossbow string piercing the air.
The crossbow bolts are wound, aimed into the distance, and wait for the order.
"Whew!" The torches were lit and hung on the wall, and suddenly, the southern city wall of Pingyin was brightly lit, as if it were day.
"Gada! Gada! Gada! Gada! ”
The sound of messy horses' hooves beat the hearts of the defenders again and again.
About two or three minutes later, the source of the horse's hooves rushed out of the dust and sand, and appeared in the line of sight of the defenders of Pingyin City.
A carriage was surrounded by a small military formation, and rushed in a hurry.
Above the city, a black-armored guard signaled his men to ring a gong to remind him.
The gong was struck with a small hammer, emitting a deafening "Dang! While! Sound.
He leaned on top of the city and asked loudly, "Who is coming?!" What is the reason for coming to Pingyin City? ”
Without waiting for Bai Mingzhe's command, Feng Ju rode forward quickly, took out his name from his arms, and showed it to the city.
The soldiers of the Han Dynasty all have iron reputations.
The people who carve the name are specially trained, and both the font and the pattern are exactly the same. In this case, the average person, simply cannot imitate the forgery.
The soldier's name, age, enlistment time, affiliation, etc., can be known at a glance.
Feng Ju tightened the reins and shouted coldly: "I am Feng Ju, the commander of the Northern Army of the Great Han Dynasty, who belongs to Lieutenant Qing of the Great Han Dynasty, and I am ordered by His Majesty to escort the embroidered Imperial Shi Baigong to Yanmen, and you will open the door as soon as possible!"
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, where is the history of embroidered clothes?"
Feng Ju responded lightly, "Naturally, it's in the carriage!" Won't you open the door yet? ”
"Brother Feng, I will put down the hanging basket in a while, can you put the name of the king and the seal of the white prince into it for us to test?"
Pingyin County is only a small county town, and there are no lieutenants stationed in the county at all, except for the imperial history seal, with the identity of lieutenant armor, they cannot open the city gates.
If you force the door...... Let's not mention whether the number is enough, the lieutenant belongs to the Northern Army, and the Northern Army broke the door...... Only once in history was Zhou Bo killed the forces of Empress Lu.
Under Liu Che's rule, who would dare to play such a thing rashly? Impatient to live?
Feng Ju knew that checking the seal was a necessary process after the city gate was closed, and there was no resistance in his heart, so he nodded and responded, "Yes!"
"Good! Please wait! ”
A minute later, a bamboo basket made of wicker hanging from a rope was lowered from the city, "Sand, sand, sand." ”
Feng Ju walked to the side of the carriage and bowed to the carriage, "Bai Gong, borrow the seal of the king." If there is no jade seal, it is difficult to open the door at night. ”
The door curtain was opened, Bai Mingzhe handed out the seal and his name together, and said impatiently: "After they verify it, open the city gate immediately, I have something urgent, I must rush to Pingyin Station immediately!"
"No!"
Not daring to slack off, Feng Ju hurriedly ran back to the city wall, and put the seal, Bai Mingzhe's name and his own name into the bamboo basket.
After a few tugging, the basket was hoisted back up.
The castle guard first opened the cloth covered with the seal, and after taking a look, began to read the name in detail.
Bai Mingzhe, age 17, from Chang'an, ancestral home in Taiyuan County.
Leader: Wei Qing.
Position: Embroidered Imperial History, rank 600 stones.
Functions: Assist the Great Nong Ling Zheng to supervise the affairs of river control at that time, have the right to mobilize county soldiers and horses, have the right to abolish officials below 1,000 stones, have the right to arrest officials under 2,000 stones, and have the right to veto the decisions of officials above 2,000 stones.
Credit: Advocating the policy of river control - has been implemented by the lord Du Wei Ji Di and Da Nong Ling Zheng at that time.
Feng Ju, age 26, from Chang'an, ancestral home in Hanoi.
Position: Wu Chief.
Function: Protect the safety of embroidered clothes. Those who threaten the safety of the embroidered clothes can be killed on the spot.
The guards looked at it in great detail, for fear that something would go wrong.
In this position, he has checked thousands of similar names, and if they are fake, he can identify them by casually touching the font.
He nodded as he muttered to himself, "The font depth is normal, the size is appropriate, and the name material is normal." It seems that this group of people should be real, it seems that the car is really embroidered with royal history. When the big man came to Pingyin County, he had to report it to the county lieutenant as soon as possible. ”
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, called a subordinate with quick legs and feet, and carefully advised: "You immediately rode to the county governor's mansion and told him the news: Your Majesty ordered the embroidered imperial Shi Bai Gong to pass through Pingyin City, and it is estimated that the Bai Guild will go to Pingyin Post to rest in a while."
"No!"
After seeing his subordinates leave, for the sake of prudence, he began to look at the name again and confirmed it again and again.
Feng Ju waited impatiently under the city, and urged: "Have you finished reading?" Hurry up and open the gates! Bai Gong is in a hurry, and he must go to Pingyin Station immediately! ”
The guard at the head of the city hurriedly folded the name and said, "Please wait a moment, and I will let the city gate be opened."
After saying that, he immediately told his men, "Come, open the city gate immediately!" Welcome Bai Gong into the city! ”
After a series of running sounds, the deadbolt was reopened, "Boom! Bang! ”
The door weighing hundreds of pounds was reopened.
Feng Ju waved his hand, and after leaving one person to take the name and seal, he took Bai Mingzhe and immediately rushed to Pingyin Station.
At full speed, the carriage carriage "crunched, crunched, crunched." Ringing.
In the carriage, I don't know when, Bai Mingzhe's lips were dry, his face was pale, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
He closed his eyes and gasped for air.
Chu Da hugged him and said with concern: "Brother Xian, are you okay?"
Bai Mingzhe waved his hand and said weakly: "It's okay! It should be in a continuous hurry, with some prostration. ”
"Why don't you let someone send you to the hospital first, and then go on like this, I'm worried that something will happen to you."
"Don't go to the hospital! Go to Pingyin Station now, I need a quiet room! Bai Mingzhe's face was distorted, and he responded in pain.
He seemed to already know the cause of his pain.
Since he was close to the territory of Taiyuan, there was a strange emotion in his body, which was indescribable and unclear. But to be sure, that wasn't what he intended.
And, behind the emotion, there is a voice echoing in the head.
The voice in my head seemed to be familiar, but it felt a little unfamiliar.
All he knew was that the voice had been shouting hysterically: "Please send your father's mausoleum back to Taiyuan and bury your mother with you."
"Please send your father's mausoleum back to Taiyuan and bury it with your mother."
"Please take your father's ............"
Feeling the force of the continuous impact on the exhausted soul like a tide, Bai Mingzhe gritted his teeth tightly, endured the tightness in his chest, swallowed the blood in his throat and eyes, and said secretly: "Obsession!" It's the obsession of this body! It seems that it is close to Taiyuan City! The local mood of Taiyuan City has reunited the broken soul of the original owner of this body. ”
"With such a strong soul impact, it seems that I want to tell me something at the cost of my soul. That being the case, when I enter the ashram, I must take a good look at the message you have left for me. ”
Thinking of this, he shouted loudly outside the carriage: "Feng Ju, go full speed!" After a stick of incense, I want to rest alone in the quiet room of Pingyin Station! At that time, except for His Majesty's urgent edict, no matter who it is, will not be able to disturb this official! ”
"No!" Feng Ju shouted, "Everyone listen to the order, move forward at full speed, there must be no mistakes!" ”
"No!" The lieutenant shouted in unison, directly frightening the people in the city.
The gates of the city, which were originally closed, all opened a crack. In the middle of the gap, one eye was quietly looking outside.
