"The city gate is heavy, get off the horse and be investigated!"

Seeing a black horse coming with billowing yellow smoke, the newly appointed city gate official was not frightened, standing in the middle of the road with his waist crossed, and shouted at the comers!

Of course, this city gate official, who has survived almost all his life, has not been overwhelmed by this sudden promotion.

Before he was arrogant, he had already seen carefully that the man on the black horse was dressed in ordinary clothes, so he dared to shout so swaggeringly.

If this person was the same as the Yellow Flag convoy two days ago, it is estimated that he would have squatted to the side with his tail between his legs.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The tall and handsome black horse was still galloping on the road, and the fierce hooves of the horses seemed to be trampling on people's hearts, which shook the city gate officials with inexplicable chest tightness.

"Stop! Stop! ”

Involuntarily stretched out his hand to cover his chest, the city gate official's eyes widened wider and wider, and a pair of legs trembled.

Being in Jiangnan, the peaceful days have passed for a long time, when has he ever seen this kind of appearance similar to the galloping of war horses?

Now in front of him, although it was just a ride, the menacing appearance still made the muscles of his whole body tense, and he had forgotten to even dodge.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The black horse was still galloping, without the slightest intention of slowing down, as if the city gate official in front of him in the middle of the road was air, and he rushed in heedless.

"Oh, oops......"

The horse's hooves were raised high, and they were about to step on the heads of the city gatekeepers!

At this critical moment, the city gate official, who was so frightened that he couldn't move, suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, and immediately rolled to the side involuntarily!

Then, the horse's hooves, the size of a bowl, almost stepped down his ear, and then slammed into the ground, stepping the hard loess road out of a small hole.

As if he could feel the wind from the horse's hooves cutting his face, the city gate official was terrified, and he kept rolling until he rolled into the ditch by the side of the road.

Familiar movements, familiar places, plus familiar muddy water......

After two flutters in the cold stinky water ditch, the city gate official who turned into a mud man again finally barely stood firm, grabbed the ditch wall, and wanted to scold when he opened his mouth!

However, before he could scold, he vaguely heard a weak roar coming from the wind:

"I have 100,000 urgent military situations in my body, and those who dare to stop will be killed!"

"Ga ......"

With just this sentence, the angry city gate official died down in an instant, and he didn't even dare to make a sound.

It's just that in his heart, he has already scolded: "100,000 urgent? You fucking pass on military information, and don't wear Yicheng's clothes? Without the banner of the military emergency! The devil knows that you pass on military information? ”

"Your Excellency?"

"Your Excellency has fallen into the ditch again!"

"Are you alright, sir?"

The black horse has passed away, and a few soldiers who were originally standing by the door watched the people disappear until they disappeared, and then they remembered that their adults were still in the ditch, and suddenly patted their heads, and rushed towards the ditch one by one.

This is also in Gangnam! If it's in Chang'an, or even Luoyang! This group of people can't stop it, and even the waste that their own chief officials can't protect well has long been hung on the city gate tower to dry.

I don't have the heart to care about the shouting behind me.

After the dark horse knight entered the city, he didn't stop for a moment, along the main road in the city, and rushed straight to the Changshi Mansion, and the pedestrians on the road saw this, and they didn't dare to stop in the middle of the road as stupidly as the city gate official, but got out of the way early, and waited until he passed, and then pointed at the back of this person and scolded.

At this moment, the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Lord Chief, also known as "Don't Drive Adult" Cui Jingzhi, was discussing business with the visiting Yang Wenwen in the study of the house.

The two were talking about the warmth when they heard a commotion in the courtyard outside.

"What's going on?" Frowning and looking out the window, Cui Jingzhi saw that the housekeeper in the house was leading a few servants to hurry in front, and in the hands of several servants, it seemed that there was still a person?

"Who is he?"

Seeing that the old housekeeper had already sent the stranger to the study without his consent, Cui Jingzhi sighed in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

The old housekeeper was in a cold sweat at this time, and when he saw the old man asking, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to the adult, this person claims to be a messenger from Chuzhou, and he has 100,000 urgent military reports!" ”

"Chuzhou?" Cui Jingzhi frowned, looked at the messenger standing with his legs in a strange posture, and asked, "What's the matter?" Where is the military situation? ”

The messenger was so weak that he would not have been able to stand on his own without the support of the servant beside him.

"Huh... Report to your lordship, Chuzhou was defeated and trapped, and countless pirates have crossed Chuzhou and looted in the direction of Yangzhou! ”

"Smack......

Cui Jingzhi's hand shook violently, and even the tea bowl in his hand touched the ground, the white porcelain shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere!

Next to him, Yang Wenwen was even more shocked, stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "How is it possible? Didn't Lord Thorn Shi already personally command the troops to rescue? ”

The messenger looked at the tea flowing on the ground, licked his chapped lips, and reluctantly said: "Lord Thorn Shi was ambushed on the way to support Chuzhou, and most of the three thousand brothers were killed and injured!" If it weren't for the Chuzhou County Order to lead people to rescue each other desperately, I am afraid that the whole army would be wiped out on the spot! ”

"Ambushed? Most of the dead and wounded? ”

The other words that the messenger said, Yang Wenwen couldn't hear clearly, and there were only these two words left in his mind, and then, the world was spinning for a while!

He staggered back a few steps, his eyes were scattered, and he muttered to himself: "How is it possible, didn't you say a few days ago that Hai Yan was just a group of stragglers, when did you have such a strong combat power?" Three thousand children, more than half of our troops in Yangzhou have been lost like this? ”

"That's not right!"

At this time, Cui Jingzhi, who was speechless in shock at first, finally reacted, hurriedly walked towards the messenger, stared at him tightly with a pair of red eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Hai Yan is attacking, and he will leave after just plundering, how can he be arrogant enough to ambush the army!" What happened in this, you must tell it all, you must not hide half of it, if there is a lie, you will not be forgiven! ”

"That's right! Tell me everything you know! Yang Wenwen roared angrily, he didn't believe that pirates, who had always been just robbers, could make a move to attack the city and destroy the team.

"Give me a bowl of water!" The messenger nodded, then said in a hoarse voice.

Cui Jingzhi didn't talk nonsense, turned around and brought the teapot, the messenger hugged the teapot, as if a thirsty ghost was reborn, and drank wildly at the spout, even if his cheeks were red, he refused to put it down.

After a long time, a pot of tea bottomed out, and the messenger put down the teapot weakly, let out a long breath, and did not wipe the water stains at the corner of his mouth, and began to tell the two anxious people in front of him about the news he knew, and even hearsay.
