Chapter 22: Outside the Rising Sun Gate

From the east coast ferry upstream, about three or four miles of waterway, the wharf of Miaoxian is in sight.

But looking at it and seeing it, if you want to dock in the past, it is very difficult.

There are more than ten times more cargo ships parked near this dock today than in the previous two days, and at a glance, there is a hidden image of a thousand sails covering the sun.

Mo said that the vicinity of the wharf was full, and there were no less than 100 ships berthed in the middle of the river.

Most of these ships are connected by gangboards, and they are dense and straight like before the Chibi War.

If it is an ordinary passenger ship, it is estimated that it may not be able to squeeze to the dock in three or five days, but fortunately, the ship is a civilian ship, but the passengers are the masters of the rampant nature.

"What's the trouble with this special girl?"

I heard Jiang Shifan curse, pointed to the front and ordered: "Report the number, if you don't open your eyes, take it directly, and wait for the shore to be handed over to Miao County for disposal!" ”

The two colonels agreed, and each of them shook their spirits, pressing one hand on the scabbard and the other to their mouths, and shouted in a frustrated voice.

After only two or three sounds, the pot exploded in front.

Don't say that it is a civilian ship, and they are all flying official flags, and they are all like avoiding snakes and scorpions, which shows that in recent years, Jinyi Wei has become famous.

The book is not too much to say.

said that after everyone landed, they should have stayed on the dock and waited for Chen Yanbin and others to cross the river.

However, there is a lot of rubbing shoulders on this dock, and it is simply impossible to plug in.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Shifan temporarily changed his mind and planned to go to the county government first to meet the three brocade guards who stayed behind.

As soon as he left the dock, he bumped into a group of people, but the leader was also a brocade guard.

A pair of incisions with each other, it turned out that after Lord Wu in the capital heard the news, he specially sent another batch of helpers.

At the moment, the two groups were combined into one, plus Liu Mubai, Zhao Kui, Ma Biao, Zhao Sanli and others who were originally scheduled to enter Beijing, the team suddenly swelled to more than 30 people and six or seven carriages.

In view of this, Jiang Shifan took the opportunity to suggest to Chen Yanbin, hoping to separate Wang Shouye from the Buddha's light relics first, so as not to be seen by him on the road and cause any more trouble.

So when it was time to get back on the road, Wang Shouye and Li Mubai got together again.

I thought that this scumbag, since he had also guessed the danger of entering Beijing this time, he would definitely ask himself about the trip to Sanhe.

Who would have thought that along the way, he didn't even say a word.

In the end, Wang Shouye couldn't hold back his energy first, and took the initiative to provoke the lively scene on the wharf in Miao County.

But when he finished describing the picture of a thousand sails covering the sun, Li Mubai didn't even raise his eyelids, and only said lightly: "The Cao Ding people made trouble and blocked the mouth of the Tonghui River, and the cargo ships from the south couldn't enter Beijing, so they could only stay and accumulate in Tongzhou." ”

Cao Ding refers to the strong coolies who maintained the transportation of grain from the south to the north, and it is said that there were hundreds of thousands of people, and the Cao Gang in later generations evolved from this.

It is said that there are hundreds of people of all kinds, let alone hundreds of thousands?

So it's not surprising that there is a trouble.

What is strange is that they were so bold that they blocked the mouth of the Tonghui River.

You must know that the current Tonghui River can be called the lifeblood of the capital - this Leng Buding was pinched by a group of mud legs, can the court give up?

"This year, the north is ripe."

Faced with Wang Shouye's question, Li Mubai lightly threw out six words.

Big ripeness means a good harvest.

According to what Wang Shouye has seen and heard in the past few days, this year's northern harvest is not only a bumper harvest, but a harvest that can withstand five years in a year!

Thinking of this, he realized: "So this year's grain in the capital is not going to be transported from the south anymore?" ”

"It is proposed to reduce it by 50%."

Well, this time it's changed to four words!

If this year's Cao Yun is really halved, what will hundreds of thousands of Cao Ding use to feed the family?

It is a matter of life and death, and it is no wonder that they dare to block the mouth of the Tonghui River.

However, this matter has little to do with Wang Shouye, he originally wanted to use this to provoke the conversation, but seeing that Li Mubai was getting more and more concise, he hurriedly went straight to the topic and said: "Li Xianggong, last time you said you wanted to ......"

Halfway through his words, Wang Shouye stopped.

Because Li Mubai only listened to the beginning, he closed his eyes and turned his back, aiming the tip of his buttocks at him.

Hey~

This really thinks of yourself as a character!

Although Wang Shouye was a little curious, what Li Mubai's hole card was to save his life, there was no reason to stick a hot face to a cold ass.

Lying back to back with him at the moment, there was no more words along the way.

………………

Xiaoxing overnight.

Because it was only more than 100 miles away, the next afternoon, everyone rushed to Chaoyangmen.

This is said to be outside the city gate, but the prosperity of the street scene is especially above the wharf in Miaoxian County.

In particular, the eaves of the shops on the side of the road are all protruding from the distance, and even if it is pouring rain, pedestrians can swim in it.

Zhao Sanli and Ma Biao, who were in the car in front, obviously also turned back to Beijing, each sticking their heads out of the window, and couldn't stop making a fuss.

In the car behind, Wang Shouye also opened the curtain and glanced at it a few times, seeing the lively scene of people on the street, but he couldn't help frowning.

The plan made by Jiang Shifan yesterday was launched outside the city gate.

But he didn't expect that the gate outside the city would be so prosperous and lively - this time, I am afraid that innocent passers-by will inevitably be involved.

But if you have to change your plan temporarily, I'm afraid it's too late......

"Sneeze, sneeze!"

As soon as he thought of this, he saw Jiang Shifan urging the horse to catch up, rubbing his nose and sneezing twice in a row.

That's the code that everything is ready.

That's it~

Man does not perish for his own sake.

If there are really those who are unlucky, they can only wait for themselves to develop in the future, and then support their wives and children.

Wang Shouye sighed, decisively lowered the curtains, and came out of sight.

In this way, I walked along the street for another half an hour, and the front was finally full of shadows, showing the outline of Chaoyangmen.

At the same time, the Jinyi guard Pegasus, who was standing in front of him, came to report that he was the commander Wu Jingzhong and Lord Wu, who was waiting in front of the door at this time.

Chen Yanbin got the news, hurriedly abandoned the car and got on the horse, leading the convoy to speed forward.

When I arrived near the left side of Chaoyang Gate, I saw that in the open space on the west side of the city gate, more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards were lined up, and one of them, an official wearing a big red flying fish robe, was sitting under the Qingluo umbrella cover.

Chen Yanbin hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and trotted towards the man with his clothes.

There were still six or seven zhang away, and his face was squeezed out of sincere fear.

After three zhang, he raised his voice again: "The labor commander came out of the city to greet him, and it is really ...... to be humble."

As he spoke, he lifted his hem and waited to turn over and kneel.

Who knew that at this moment, Wu Jingzhong suddenly stared at Huo Ran and got up, and the Jinyi guards on both sides were also in an uproar.

What's going on?

Chen Yanbin subconsciously looked back and saw an undriven carriage rushing towards this side.

Damn it~

What fool was it that scared the horse at this time?

Chen Yanbin hurriedly turned around and stood in front of Wu Jingzhong, putting on a posture of loyal protection.

At the same time, two brocade-robed men with more than six feet [about one meter nine] came out of the crowd together.

This one drank 'the beast dared' and reached out to pull the reins, and the one who scolded, 'something that does not know death,' slashed the horse's hooves with a swing of the sword.

The two of them are both masters of the brocade guard, and when they join forces, don't say that they can clean up a startled horse dragging a cart, even if they are crazy bulls, it is not a problem.

So the brocade guards were all calm and idle again.

Who would have thought that the one who was going to pull the reins, just stretched out his hand halfway, and suddenly thought about life in a daze, and with a 'bang', he was knocked out of the way!

And the one who wielded the knife to cut the horse's hooves, inexplicably cut nothing, not to mention, the person also drilled directly under the horse's hooves, first the sternum was sunken, and then the wheel ran over his legs and right wrist, for a while it was really miserable!

Because this result was really unexpected, all the brocade guards were dumbfounded, and when they tried to dodge again, it was too late, and at that moment, several people were hit on the head and bled out.

But the strange thing is that whether it was the two big men who were seriously injured before, or the Jinyi guard who was hit later, they were all dazed and did not let out a trace of pain.

Seeing that the startled horse was like entering a no-man's land, Chen Yanbin's mind suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "It's the Buddha Light Relic, the Buddha Light Relic in the car!" ”

Then he ordered in a shrieked voice: "Hurry, hurry up and find Wang Shouye!" ”
