Chengdu is the heart of Xichuan, Chengdu Fucheng is the first city of Xichuan, this ancient city has never lost its vitality, and as the commercial center of Xichuan, merchants from the south to the north come and go in Chengdu Fucheng every day.

Xichuan was rich in products, and a large number of merchants would purchase goods from Xichuan to transport them to the east, and also bring a dazzling array of goods from other places, and it was precisely because of this kind of trade that Chengdu maintained prosperity after Xichuan was incorporated into the imperial territory.

In addition to the caravans coming and going every day, there are naturally also bodyguard teams coming and going.

The prosperity of commerce and trade, destined to the prosperity of Xichuan dart line, in the city of Chengdu, there are no less than dozens of famous dart shops, and even one of the three major dart games in the capital of Changping dart bureau is also set up in Chengdu Fu.

However, no matter how large the caravans were, as soon as the city of Chengdu arrived, the city gates must be closed, even if it was a moment at night, they could only stay outside the city.

The gates of Chengdu Mansion are guarded by the guards directly under the Assassin's Mansion in turn, and the tooth general in charge of the south gate is called Yang Lin, who is over forty years old, does things steadily, and does not smile on weekdays, but everyone under his command knows that this tooth general has really killed people on the battlefield, and they are in awe of him.

Yang Lin rarely talks to people, he is introverted, and no one can figure out his thoughts, but no one under his command has ever dared to disobey his orders.

At the end of the day, although there are many music squares in the city and laughter, but the city gate is already a dead silence, eight soldiers on duty at night guarding the south gate, Yang Lin is very strict with his subordinates, when on duty, even if there is a fire at home, then you have to honestly guard the post, as the soldiers and horses directly under the jurisdiction of the Assassin Mansion, each of them is carefully selected, not only brave and good at fighting, but also abide by military discipline.

Yang Lin sat on a chair behind the city gate, although it was night, but he was still in good spirits, his eyes were attentive, there was a small case on the side, on which was placed a bag of fried peanuts, every time he reached out, two pinched a peanut, and then very skillfully pinched the peanut shell, the two peanuts rolled into the palm, the hand was loosened, the peanut shell fell on the table, and then raised his hand to put the peanut in his mouth.

Everyone in his subordinates knows that this is Yang Yajiang's hobby, and there are few people in the army who don't drink, but Yang Yajiang is one of them, and it seems that peanuts are more attractive to Yang Yajiang than fine wine.

It's about to be winter, the late night in Xichuan is already quite cold, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door have already put on autumn clothes, as the soldiers and generals directly under the control of the Assassin Mansion, whether it is weapons and equipment or treatment, it is of course the best among the soldiers and horses in Xichuan, and the autumn clothes are very warm, enough to withstand the cold at night.

"Tooth General, there is a team approaching outside the city." Someone at the head of the city shouted below, "Light torches, there are quite a few people." ”

Yang Ya will crush the peanuts in his hand, and wait until he puts the peanuts in his mouth, then he slowly stands up, tidies up his armor, turns to the wall ladder and goes up to the city, close to the battlements, and looks down at the city, and sees a team approaching the edge of the city.

There is still a short distance near the city gate, the team stopped, but the soldiers at the head of the city can see clearly, the team has about seven or eight carriages pulling goods, and there are dart flags at the head, but it is a dart team, the dart team has about 20 people, for a team of guards, 20 people is not a few.

"Tooth General, looking at the flag, it seems to be a Yiwei Dart Bureau." A soldier said.

Yang Yajiang nodded and shouted below: "Is it the Yiwei Dart Bureau?" ”

"Is it Yang Yajiang?" Someone in front of the team laughed and said, "It's Lu Yi, is it Yang Ya General on an errand tonight?" ”

Yang Yajiang coughed and said, "Mr. Lu, I heard that the darts have been letting your big apprentices go out recently, why do you want to escort them personally this time?" ”

"Don't hide it from General Yang, this dart was ordered by a nobleman in the capital, and I was worried that something would go wrong, so I took a trip myself." Na Lu's dart head seemed to be quite familiar with the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Hurry up and hurry, or miss the hour." ”

General Yang Ya said: "Where the order is, there is no way, Mr. Lu's dart team can only stay outside the city for a night, and enter the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"General Yang, this trip is very hard, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone is already exhausted." Mr. Lu said with a wry smile: "I know the rules, but this time I want to use this old face to ask for accommodation and let us go home early." ”

Yang Lin frowned and said: "You are also from Chengdu, you know the rules here, how can you make an exception?" ”

"General Yang Ya, I can't hide it, this batch of goods was sent down by Lord Shangshu Dou of the Household Department of the capital, and I don't dare to delay." Mr. Lu arched his hand and said: "For the sake of Lord Dou's face, please also ask General Yang Ya to be accommodating." ”

"Lord Dou?" Yang Lin was a little stunned, and the soldiers on the side said in a low voice: "Tooth General, Lord Dou is a member of the court, if you really offend him, then .....!" ”

Yang Lin snorted coldly, groaned for a while, and then said, "What kind of goods are they?" ”

"The tooth will be able to be checked." Mr. Lu said.

Yang Lin said: "Come and two people go down with me." ”

At that moment, the two soldiers followed Yang Lin down the city, opened the side door, and went out of the city, Lu Yi had already stepped forward and said, "There is work, there is work!" ”

Yang Lin didn't talk nonsense, walked to the side of the convoy, and when he got to the third car, he lifted the rain cloth covering it, and there were three large boxes below, Yang Lin ordered to open one of the boxes, and glanced at a soldier next to him, the soldier stepped forward, stretched out his hand and searched inside, and then turned back and said: "Tooth general, there are some skins inside." ”

"Leather goods?"

Mr. Lu smiled slightly, approached Yang Lin and said in a low voice: "Ya General, Lord Dou is quite wealthy, and there are a few shops in Chengdu, but his old man doesn't want people to know too much, so he hired a dart team to escort these goods over, so he wants to make a move here, and please don't publicize this matter." ”

"Oh?" Yang Lin swept several other cars: "Are they all leather goods to be sold?" ”

"It's good that there are some calligraphy and paintings and so on." Mr. Lu said, "Do you want to check the teeth one by one?" ”

Yang Lin thought for a moment before saying, "After entering the city, don't alarm people, just go back secretly." ”

Mr. Lu hurriedly said: "Thank you for being accommodating." He took a bag and stuffed it into Yang Lin's arms: "Ya General, please give these to the brothers to enjoy wine and food." This bag of silver is a lot, Yang Lin casually threw it to the soldiers on the side, and ordered: "The brothers on duty at night will each distribute one copy, so that everyone will not be quiet, this is Lord Dou's goods after all, and we can't stop Lord Dou's things." ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "Yes! "I thought that Lord Dou was a member of the court, and there were only a few officers and soldiers guarding the city, so if Lord Dou was annoyed, he could crush this group of people to death by pressing his fingers, and Yang Ya would do this, but there was no way.

When the city gate was opened, Yang Ya immediately closed the city gate after letting the convoy into the city, and the bag of silver taels was also distributed to the soldiers.

After Mr. Lu led the convoy into the city, he immediately dispersed the convoy, and the six carriages and more than 20 people were divided into four roads, and the dart flags were also put away.

There are many dart bureaus and restaurants in Chengdu.

Chengdu people love to eat and will eat, so restaurants can be said to be everywhere, from small food stalls with two or three low tables to large restaurants with luxurious decorations on three or four floors.

Shuijing Street is one of the many streets in Chengdu, this street is not too lively, but this street is one of the largest restaurants in the city, not only the four-storey main building has magnificent cornices, but also the front and back yard standing area is extremely open.

It's just that Xiqing Building has been closed since yesterday, and it is said that it is going to be renovated, so there have been no guests in the past two days.

The night was dark, Mr. Lu led two carriages to the back door of Xiqing Building, and knocked on the door three times and two, and soon someone opened the door, Mr. Lu Dart Head entered the courtyard, and a long-shirted scribe came over, which was Mr. Huang, a staff member of Li Hongxin, the king of Shu.

Mr. Lu arched his hand at Mr. Huang and said in a low voice: "Sir, all six carriages have entered the city, and with Yang Lin's protection, everything is fine." ”

Mr. Huang turned around and said in a deep voice, "Bring in the things in the car." Immediately, more than a dozen people came out of the darkness to move the boxes, and Mr. Lu said: "The other three roads are gathering here, and within half an hour, they will all arrive." ”

Mr. Huang said: "You have made the first contribution, and after the deed is completed, the prince will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Our Lu family has been favored by the prince for many years, and we have always thought that one day we will be able to repay it, and it is a long-cherished wish in this life to be able to serve the prince this time, although we will not give up even if we die." Lu Yi said solemnly: "This time, I have transferred all the brave and loyal dart masters of the dart game, if Mr. is sent, we will not frown on the knife mountain and down the sea of fire." ”

Mr. Huang took Lu Yi's arm and said, "You come with me." ”

Lu Yi followed Mr. Huang forward, but found that there were people moving around the courtyard, and there were obviously many people hidden inside.

Entering a room, but only saw that there were already more than a dozen people in the house, after Lu Yi entered the house, everyone looked over, Lu Yi knew that this was the heart of the King of Shu, and bowed to everyone, only to see a lone lamp on the table, a black armor will stand at the table, look at Lu Yi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, we have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Dai, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

The black armor general was Dai Ling under Li Hongxin's cloth, bowed his head slightly, and then said to the people around: "Everyone, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, used for a while, the prince is like a reborn parent to us people, if there is no prince, we can't live like a dog now, in order to protect the military and civilians in Chengdu, the prince submitted a surrender table to the state of Chu, and the state of Chu kept saying that he was not to blame in the past, but this time he sent the surname Qi over, but also to let the prince enter Beijing, you all understand yourself, what is the purpose of them letting the prince enter Beijing. ”

Everyone was blinded by fierce eyes, and one of them sneered: "Lao Tzu has been holding back for so many years, and every day he thinks about chopping Wei Shutong's head with a knife, and the state of Chu has pressed on our heads for more than 20 years, and this time we can finally spit out the stuffy breath in our chests." ”
