Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 97 The Three of them are concentric
In front of the east gate of Chang'an City, there was a long queue of cars and horses, and nearly a thousand people of all kinds were anxiously waiting to enter the city.
In addition to the residents of Chang'an City, who can enter the city with unique access certificates, a large number of outsiders can only enter the city after showing their identity documents and being approved by the officials stationed in front of the gate.
As the sun rose, the air near the city gate began to fill the air with a sour smell of various peculiar smells, and the gradually scorching sunlight also made the people who had been waiting for a long time begin to be restless.
Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore, and a person who looked like a guard squeezed in front of his head and said to the official who was checking his identity: "This lord, can you be accommodating, let us enter the city first.......
He lowered his voice and said, "My family is Guanglu Doctor Wen Yi!" β
"Cut!" The official was stunned for a moment, and then sneered disdainfully: "So what? It's just a Guanglu doctor! β
He pouted not far away: "Look! That's the carriage and horse of Lord Guangluxun Zhao Qian, and everyone is lining up! β
"Whoever you are!" Another official in front of the city gate said: "When you arrive in Chang'an, you must abide by the rules of today's son and the rules of Master Dong...... Otherwise? Hey! It's time to weigh yourself! β
The guard was speechless, and had to retreat in mockery.
Although more people dare not put on the spectrum of privilege anymore with the lessons of the past, the impatient atmosphere in the crowd has always lingered.
A general of the Dong Army pressed the hilt of his sword, climbed a wooden platform and shouted: "I hope you will enter the city in order, Taishi Dong has deployed tens of thousands of troops near Chang'an, you don't have to worry about thieves chasing and killing behind you!" β
"Of course...... It is not ruled out that there will be thieves who will mix into the crowd to pick quarrels and provoke trouble! The general viciously burst out a murderous word from his teeth: "Then Ben will be happy to present their heads on the side of the city gate!" β
Listening to the murderous threatening words, and then looking at the fierce eyes of the soldiers in disguise around them, the crowd finally became honest.
Next to a large car in the queue of waiters, three young people squatted on the ground boredly, as if they were talking and laughing in a low voice. However, even the occasional passers by their side could not hear what they were talking about...... Seven or eight big men intentionally or unintentionally protected the three people in the center, making it impossible to really get close at all.
"The strictness of the inventory even exceeded our expectations!" A young man with a lazy look on his face said in a solemn tone that did not kiss his face: "With our temporary forged identity document...... I have a sense of foreboding! β
"If we have enough time, of course we can ask General Gao Feng's subordinates to produce a certificate that is full of truth!" Another young man with a serene face said lightly: "Now, everything is up to us...... In half an hour at most, it will be our turn! Go? It must be agreed upon immediately! β
"Maybe those officials who are interrogating will look at the Yang family's feelings," the third young man with a heroic face hesitated.
"Don't hand over your fate to those ethereal variables!" The young man with a serene expression shook his head and said, "You have all seen it, even Guangluxun, one of the Nine Qings, they don't buy it!" Yang? They are much stronger than Guangluxun. But now under Dong Zhuo's autocracy, it is just a weak family that looks up to people! β
"Or else?" The lazy young man's eyes widened: "Let's design a mess, and then take advantage of the chaos to encourage the crowd to crowd into the city together?" β
"No!" The other two young men said at the same time.
"Our task is to infiltrate the city silently, and we must not add to it, otherwise it will attract the attention of Dong Jun and may be in danger!"
"Not bad! Dong Jun is so close to the enemy, how could he let us rush into the city? Even if they don't force us, they will separate and detain us, and then we will really become caged birds! β
Listen to the rebuttals of the two companions. The lazy young man bowed his head: "That's good! It's up to you to figure it out... Remember, it's only half an hour! β
"You guy!" The young man, who had always looked serene, finally showed a smile and a smile: "The three of us are on the mission of generals, which can be said to be both glory and loss. Are you still thinking about being lazy? β
He stared at the lazy young man with an indifferent expression, and said lightly: "It seems that you don't want the title of 'Bohai Jiao King'!" β
"What did you say?" The lazy young man's eyes finally sharpened: "Although I know that you are a radical general, who am I, Li Shaojie?" That's an example of rising to the challenge! Don't be wordy....... you two boys should think about how to break the game! β
Look at the righteousness on his face. The two companions were stunned at the same time: "What lonely? When are you qualified to be orphaned? β
"Nonsense! Jiaowang Jiaowang, of course, can be called lonely! Li Shaojie said impatiently: "Don't quarrel...... Shicai Gu seems to be blessing his soul, maybe he can immediately think of a strategy to enter the city! β
"Cut!" The two companions bowed their heads together. Hide the disdain on your face.
Li Shaojie's gaze suddenly fell on the official who was standing behind the desk in front of the city gate, and did not move for a long time. Finally, a smile gradually appeared on his lips: "Okay! It's a bit risky, but I think there's a good chance of success! β
"How, exactly?" The two companions were a little nervous and said, "How do you need us to cooperate?" β
"Cooperation? Ah, yes! Li Shaojie said seriously: "Of course, you have to cooperate...... That is to follow Lonely, do nothing! β
"What the hell are you talking about?" The two of them almost screamed.
Finally it was the Yang family's turn to carapace, Li Shaojie glanced at Yang Yu, and the two walked towards the investigating official together.
"Identity? Number? The officer sat on his knees behind the desk without raising his head.
"This lord, we are from the Yang family of Sikong Mansion!" Li Shaojie hurriedly said: "We were attacked by thieves on the way before, and we were separated from Lord Sikong, but I don't know if my lord has entered the city safely?" β
"Sikong Mansion?" The official finally raised his head, nodded and said, "Not bad! Lord Sikong had entered the city a day ago, and he had also explained that some of the attachΓ©s had been separated......."
"Just!" He suddenly straightened his face: "Since you are from Sikong Mansion, you must obey the rules even more!" Lest others make irresponsible remarks! β
"Of course!" Li Shaojie was neither humble nor arrogant: "My family is loyal to the country, loyal to the Son of Heaven, and respectful to the Taishi. How can we, who are subordinates, bring shame on our masters? β
"Good!" The official was slightly surprised when he heard this, and when he saw the peculiar markings on the big cars, he was already convinced of the identity of this group of people. He nodded, "Then please come forward with your ID card in hand, and we will still search your body one by one...... Please don't blame you for the offense! β
"Your Excellency is welcome!" Li Shaojie bowed slightly and said, "Then let's start with the villain!" β
Seeing that he took out the identity document disc in his hand, his hands were open with a calm face, and he stepped forward to be interrogated, and the dozen or so people behind him tensed their nerves at the same time.
The official was about to wave his hand and order the soldiers to come forward and search, but finally hesitated and said, "Since you are a subordinate of Lord Sikong." It's better for the official to come in person! β
"There's Lord Lao!" Li Shaojie raised his head slightly and stretched his hands wider: "It's okay to ask the adults to check carefully!" β
The official stretched out his hand and grabbed the sleeve of Li Shaojie's robe, and was about to grope from top to bottom, when suddenly his eyes froze...... A small ball of yellow things suddenly slipped from Li Shaojie's sleeve, landed on the thick soil and turned over a few times, and happened to land at the official's feet, without making any sound.
"Huh?" Li Shaojie didn't bow his head, but he was surprised: "My lord, it seems that there is something ......" and wanted to look down as he spoke.
"Nothing!" The official quietly stepped on the thing. said lightly: "Don't move, the official is still under investigation...... Come on! There shouldn't be any problems! β
He waved his hand and said, "You can all enter the city!" β
"But my lord, the villain just seems to have dropped something!" Li Shaojie was a little stunned and said: "Also, these companions of the villain still haven't been interrogated!" β
"The people of Sikong Mansion. Still trustworthy! The official suddenly lowered his voice and smiled, "Let's all go in!" Just take a picture...... Otherwise, this official will be suspected of offending Lord Sikong! β
"It's not...... The villain ......" Li Shaojie was full of hesitation.
Seeing that Li Shaojie wanted to speak and stopped, the official finally said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up." There are so many people in the back! β
Dozens of people crowded around several large carts, and soon left the noisy city gates far behind.
"Brother Shaojie!" The two young men looked at each other and raised their big fingers at the same time, "Brothers today." It's really a service! β
"Nothing, little scene!" Li Shaojie's face was light.
"Your hands and feet are indeed seamless!" The young man with a peaceful face nodded and said, "If we hadn't always been careful to watch, in such a chaotic environment, I'm afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to notice...... Well done! β
"But Brother Li!" The heroic young man finally couldn't help but say, "Since a piece of gold can solve the problem, why don't you just quietly stuff it to that official?" Why bother to do so much, and even pretend that you don't even know about it? β
"Brother Yang, Brother Mo!" Li Shaojie put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "The ability of the two brothers, that brother admires very much...... But when it comes to the ability to play on the spot, observe people's hearts, and adapt to improvisation, the little brother is much better than you! β
"I want to hear about it!" Yang Yu and Mo Zhe laughed together.
"I noticed the look in the gate official's eyes!" Li Shaojie smiled slightly: "Most of the people who entered the city were from the scholar clan, and they carried a lot of fine and soft, although his eyes often unintentionally stayed on those things, but he could quickly return to a strict state of inspection...... This shows that this person loves money, but he is cautious! β
Seeing Yang Yu and Mo Zhe, he couldn't help nodding, and said, "If I directly stuff the property, then how dare he accept it in front of everyone's eyes?" And the abnormal behavior of the people in the Sikong Mansion bribing the officials guarding the city for no reason will arouse the suspicion of that person, and make him strengthen the investigation of us, so that the big thing is suspended! β
"So, I pretended to drop gold unintentionally, but I seemed to be in the dark!" Li Shaojie finally laughed out loud: "Accepting bribes and picking up money are two completely different natures...... And if he really got in, after stepping on the gold, he must have a weak heart to be a thief, lest we find out and claim it back! β
"That's it! Wouldn't he be in a hurry to drive us away? Mo Zhe also laughed: "Shaojie's eyes are like torches and his thoughts are meticulous, which is admirable!" β
"I'm really convinced!" Yang Yu also sighed.
"Nothing remarkable!" Li Shaojie's face should be so calm: "Brother Mo forgot?" The general once taught us similar skills when he was training in Bohai, and in his words, what ....... come about! That's right, psychological tactics! β
"Is it General Nan?" Yang Yu's eyes were full of reverence and longing: "I didn't expect a generation of famous generals to have so many abilities!" Little Brother ......."
"So you behave well!" Li Shaojie hugged his shoulders in an old-fashioned manner: "The ability of a general, how can you imagine, as long as we complete this task well, are you afraid that you will have no ability to learn?" β
"I couldn't agree more!" Mo Zhe also stretched out his hand to put his hand on Yang Yu's other shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Let our three brothers work together, show their strengths, and live up to the mission entrusted by the general!" (To be continued......)
