Jiang Chengcan's ability to hear the movement outside the city was clear, and the old man outside the city pleaded one after another, his voice was hoarse and difficult, and he sounded like he was exhausted.

But the leader of the soldiers did not give an inch, and when he saw that he could not drive the old man away, he pushed and shoved him.

"Old man! If you don't go again! Hugh blames me for being rude! ”

The old man's weather-beaten hands tightly grasped the wrists of the soldier leader and pleaded: "The military master... You won't let me into the city... I... I can only sleep in the woods. Master Jun, please do well, do well. I also have a sick wife at home who needs me to take care of... She can't live without me..."

"Are you annoyed, old man? If you say that you don't let in, you don't let in! You can stay anywhere, but you are not allowed to enter the city! The soldier leader had an iron face and pushed hard, breaking free from the old man's hands.

The old man slipped and fell to the wet mud.

The little soldier on the side couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "... Top dog.. It really doesn't work, let's let him in. ”

The soldier leader looked back at him and said unceremoniously: "You can't bear to let him in, if something goes wrong in the city because of him, will the lord blame you or him?" ”

The soldier who persuaded him choked at once, and he didn't know what to say.

The old man was still begging, but when the soldier leader saw that he couldn't get rid of him, he took out the military stick tied to his waist, raised his arm and scolded: "Old man! I warn you, if you don't leave, don't blame my men for being ruthless! ”

The old man was frightened by the slightly foot-long wooden military stick in his hand and took a few steps back, and said in a panic: "Master Jun, I... I don't mean to disturb your military business, I... I just want to go home. In the midst of his supplication, he stepped forward cautiously again, kneeling before the guards and kowtowing his head, hoping that they would let him into the city.

The soldier leader was annoyed by his plea, and said viciously: "Since you old man didn't listen to the persuasion, don't blame me!" Then he raised his stick and struck at the old man.

A hoarse wail came from behind the city gates. The old man's shoulder was firmly beaten, and he screamed in pain.

The leader of the soldiers came up angrily, chased after the old man and scolded: "Let you not listen to persuasion!" ”

The old man is incapacitated, so he naturally can't avoid such a strong sergeant, shouting that the sky should not be done, and the ground is not effective. None of the city guards standing guard at the city gate dared to go down to stop them. The three soldiers standing next to him did not dare to come forward to persuade them, for fear that they would get into trouble.

Jiang Chengjia, who was hiding in the alley, heard this movement, and his heart was torn by the old man's wail.

If she didn't go out at this time, would she watch this old man be beaten up by the damned soldier leader, and stay outside the city for another night, homeless?

Jiang Chengjia was burning with anger in her heart, and regardless of whether she could enter the city again once she went out of the city to save the old man, she kicked up her feet and prepared to climb out of the city wall again.

At the same time, in front of the inner gate of the city, there was a sound of tight and regular footsteps on the street facing the west gate, and the sound was accompanied by the sound of iron clothes rubbing.

She immediately stopped her movements, leaned against the wall and quietly looked out into the street, only to see a group of guards walking towards the city gate, which was different from the uniforms worn by the elite guards in front of the gate.

Jiang Chengjia hurriedly held his breath and hid in the corner to observe.

The leader of the patrol also seemed to hear the movement outside the city gate, and called out in peace: "Who is making a noise outside?" ”

When the soldier leader who was beating the old man outside heard this shout, he chuckled in his heart, put away his military stick, and trembled forward and said through the city gate: "The Governor... It's not a big deal, there is a person who wants to enter the city, and his subordinates are too obedient to the orders of the adults... Stop him, he doesn't listen to persuasion, and his subordinates are teaching him. ”

"Really?" The leader of the patrol asked in a dark voice, and then said to the two little soldiers guarding the gate in the city, "Open the city gate." ”

The two guards in front of the door were a little stunned and stood there at a loss.

The leader glanced at them and said strangely, "What are you doing?" ”

The two guards immediately became panicked and said, "Yes! Subordinates obeyed. ”

They hurriedly opened the city gate, and the leader of the patrol saw the old man lying on the ground half-dead at a glance, and his eyes immediately released a cold light, and he looked at the trembling soldier leader on the side and asked, "Your so-called lesson... Is it to beat an old man like this? ”

This sudden sense of oppression made the soldier leader so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "Subordinate... The subordinates had no other intentions than to follow the orders of Lord Taishou. ”

"Yu Er! Did Lord Taishou order you to treat an old man like this? The leader shouted, "You are just a little soldier, and now you have learned to bully others?" ”

The soldier leader wiped a cold sweat, and when he heard him so angry, he knelt on the ground in shock and begged for mercy: "Subordinate... Subordinates know their mistakes! Please forgive the Governor! ”

The leader sneered and didn't speak, stared at the old man who hugged himself into a trembling ball on the ground, beckoned to the guards who followed behind him and ordered, "Help the old man up and take him to the barracks for some medicine." "Home

"Whoa." The subordinate soldiers behind him answered, and two people came out and stepped forward to help the old man who was almost unconscious.

Seeing this, the leader of the soldiers thought that he had escaped, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard the leader say coldly: "Someone is coming!" Drag Yu Er down! Sixty sticks were to be beaten until he could not get out of bed! ”

This eerie angry voice made the soldier leader known as Yu Er tremble violently, and raised his head to the leader with a pale face and begged for mercy: "The Governor spares his life!" The subordinates don't dare anymore... The Governor spares his life! ”

This Yu Er screamed, but his fate at the moment was like an old man who had no one to save him and could only be beaten. It's just that now the people on the city wall are very relieved, and they don't seem to be so depressed after watching the old man being beaten.

"Listen to me! Defend the city tonight, and outsiders are not allowed to do it! Lord Taishou has set up a military tent in the suburbs, and he can place them there for the time being. If next time you let me know that you are bullying, don't blame me for being rude! The leader commanded majestically.

I only heard a unanimous shout from under the city wall of the West Gate: "Subordinates obey orders!" "It spread throughout the suburbs of the city, and it was deafening.

Jiang Chengjia breathed a sigh of relief for the old man, took a closer look at the leader's face by the moonlight, looked him up and down again, and quickly found the clue.

The knife on this man's waist is also a green dragon knife... It shows that he is also a person who supervises and guards. The man slowly turned his face sideways, and Jiang Chengjia clearly found a layer of adhesive skin marks on his neck.

The person is disguised.

Jiang Chengjia was shocked, and when he saw that this person had disposed of Yu Er, he immediately ordered someone to close the city gate.

The vermilion lacquer door slammed shut, and she couldn't see the situation outside. I heard the footsteps of the patrol as they went to the east side of the west gate.

Who needs to be transfigured?

For the soldiers of Guangxin City, the vast majority of the people of the Jing Guardian are unfamiliar faces, and there is no need for anyone to use something as precious and difficult to find and difficult to make as a human skin mask.

Could it be that ... The man was... Lu Xun?!

Jiang Chengjia's heart jumped suddenly, and he carefully compared it in his mind, only to feel that Fang Cai's leading height and body were indeed exactly the same as Lu Xun's.

Can... What is Lu Xun going out of the city for at this time?

At present, this situation makes her more and more confused about what Ning Nanwei is going to do. She took the opportunity to detour from the alley where she was staying to another path, and headed for the east side of the city in parallel with the patrols outside the city that were hurrying along the city walls. Fortunately, in the past two days, under the leadership of Song Yang, she has familiarized herself with the surroundings of Guangxin City, and she remembers that the terrain here is ripe, and it is smooth to walk on the paths between the houses.

Soon, the originally silent city fell into a land of fire under her hurried footsteps.

A large flash of fire flashed before her eyes, so she hastily stopped, found a safe place to hide in the woods she passed, and looked ahead.

I saw that the wasteland on the east side of the city was surrounded by a group of masked men in dark green civilian clothes with torches in hand. I don't know who was in the group, and at this moment there was a faint voice of talking. However, due to the crowd forming a circle, Jiang Chengjia's hearing was affected, and there was too much noise for her to hear who was in the circle and what they were saying.

She could only get closer when she vaguely heard someone say, "I really didn't expect it... Everyone in the Great Wei Dynasty scolded, and the Marquis of Huaiyin, who was looked down upon by the officials and nobles, had such a scheming... So strong? ”

"What do you mean by that?" At this time, she heard a familiar question, the voice was from Meng Disaster, and she could hear it.

"King Wuhu... Don't you see... Tonight's events were not arranged by King Huai at all... Huai Wang is far away in Luoyang, how can it be possible to monitor the movement of Guangxin City in real time? The man said with a sneer.

"That's it... Still want to provoke the relationship between Lone and Huaiyin? It seems that what Mr. Chen said is indeed right. If we don't catch you in our hands, I'm afraid that we will not be able to deal with the rest of the matter. ”

"Meng disaster! Don't blame me for not reminding you! If you blindly believe Ning Zheng's words, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss! ”

"Shut your mouth! If you don't even have this insight, you won't be on the throne back then! Meng Yu didn't listen to it for a while, and said viciously to the man.

From beginning to end of this conversation, she never heard Ning Nan's voice.

Jiang Chengjia felt strange, could it be that the prince was not here?

She thought about it for a moment, and continued to listen patiently.

"My lord, since this person has fallen into the scheme of the acting king, and has been captured by you and me... Can you please the king... Have you released my prince? This voice seems to come from Zhou Yuanmo, who is disguised as Chen Xu.

"You are reasonable, it seems that your acting king and your prince do not deceive me... Naturally, I am willing to release him from my tent. Meng replied.
