Although Luo Si and Scarface were a little crazy, they always looked forward to Zhishilang leading people to jump out and rob them all the way, but it backfired, and they didn't even meet a few business travelers along the way, and they were lonely and lonely along the way.

There are 60 miles of road from Zhangqiu to Licheng, seven people ride horses, but they are all new, learn while riding, and from time to time someone falls off the horse, so they stop and go, and this road is a day.

When it was almost dark, Luo Feng and his party finally arrived in Licheng.

Qi County, formerly known as Qi State. Qin destroyed the Qi State and divided Qi County and Langlang County in its hometown. Han destroyed Qin, Liu Bang sealed Han Xin as the king of Qi, led the Tian clan to the hometown of Qi State, and later migrated Han Xin as the king of Chu, and divided the Qi country into seven counties and seventy-three counties.

In the late Western Han Dynasty, Qi County only governed 12 counties, and Qi County was abolished in the early Sui Dynasty and changed to Qi Prefecture, and Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and then changed to Qi County.

The county is a calendar city.

Licheng is named because it is located under the Lishan Mountain, and it was subordinate to Jinan County of Qizhou during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and now it is the county seat of Qi County, and it is also the county seat of Licheng County.

As a city with a long history, Licheng is very large.

Compared with Zhangqiu, a small county town that has only been built for less than 30 years, Licheng can be called ancient and majestic.

There are six gates alone, and there are also moats to protect the city and urn castles to defend against enemies, which looks like a huge military fortress from a distance, and it is also a prosperous city with a large population.

Standing at the gate of the city, Xiao Liu, Du Da, and Fu San, the three brothers were really shocked, no more than Luo Feng and Luo Si, etc., all of whom had gone to other places to do service, such as Luo Si had just come back from Luoyang, Luo Wu had also returned from Zhuo County, Zhao Si had been to Zhuo County, and Zhou Xin had gone to Yangzhou to do service.

"What a big city!"

"That's a lot of people!"

"There's a big ditch outside the city gate!"

"That's not a ditch, it's a moat for the moat, Licheng is a northern city, and the river will freeze in winter, so in order to prevent war, most of the outside of the northern city is dug a moat instead of digging a river to divert water as a moat, the moat is very deep, and antlers, stakes, etc. can be planted in it, so as to prevent the enemy from crossing the moat that is waterless or frozen in winter, and can play a great defensive role in the city." Luo Feng saw the shocked rural appearance of the three boys, and couldn't help but introduce them to them.

"Fifth brother, you know so much." The Tao of Du Da's worship.

"I heard that there is a Ruyi Building in Licheng, the little lady in it is very watery, I don't think it's early, why don't we go there tonight to rest for a night?"

Luo Si looked anxious, but he proposed to sleep in the Qinglou.

"Don't carry a few coppers on your body and think you're a rich man. You are public money, not your private wealth, and we are not here to look for flowers and willows this time, but to go on a business trip. Luo Feng glared at the fourth child, "Let's go to the city, go to the second cousin's house to recognize the door first, and then go to the yamen tomorrow morning." ”

"It's so late, how bad it is to trouble my aunt, or I still live in Ruyi Building, and go to my uncle's house tomorrow morning." Luo Si was still not very reconciled. "Scarface, you say that's how you arrange it, okay?"

Scarface seems to have heard of the legendary Ruyi Building, and he is a little moved, but he didn't dare to agree to Luo Si, after all, it is his brother-in-law Luo Wu who is in charge, and he goes to prostitution with his brother-in-law, which is not very reliable.

And he is reluctant to pay for it, it is said that such a trip to Qinglou, it is not enough to have two or three times.

With this money, he might as well buy a few good fabrics for Lianniang at home, and then buy some jewelry and some fat powder.

······

"What for?"

A few people were still there to discuss, but their whereabouts had already attracted the attention of the city gate guards, and a group of city gate guards rushed out of the city and surrounded them in an instant.

These people are not the same soldiers as the men guarding the gate of Zhangqiu, these are the county soldiers stationed in the city of Qi County.

The so-called county soldiers are different from the guards soldiers.

The guards are the soldiers of the twelve guards of the imperial court stationed in various military offices, and they are subordinate to the twelve guards and the military department. However, this county soldier belongs to the local armed forces, and is commanded by the general guard and the county commander.

The county soldiers are similar to the armed police, and they are equivalent to the militia, in short, they are mostly local recruited strong men on errands, taking turns to assemble and train on duty, maintain local law and order in peacetime, catch thieves and thieves, and at the same time are equivalent to reserves.

In any case, although the county soldiers are not regular government soldiers, they are all trained. Even the subordinates of the county commander Zhang Xutuo, there is an elite army of hundreds of people, all of whom have fought before.

Luo Laosi had just touched the Yuwang on the saddle with his four hands, and before he could pick it up, he was immediately pushed up by seven or eight lances.

"Get down!"

Several shouts of reprimand rang out.

Since Zhang Xutuo arrived in the county of Qi, he has burned several fires. The appearance of the soldiers of Qi County has changed greatly, and they are no longer lazy and lazy.

The city gate of Qi County has also strengthened its vigilance, and it has to be checked when entering and exiting, and there are also more patrol county soldiers on the roads on the outskirts of the city, and when you encounter suspicious people, especially those like Luo Feng, who are not wearing soldiers' uniforms, but are still riding horses and holding weapons, it is the object of key investigations, if you dare to resist the inspection, you can cut it first and then play, this is a new order issued by Zhang Xutuo.

Those who dare not obey the unlucky ghosts who stand in cages with flail at the city gate are examples.

Luo Feng raised his hand very knowingly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I came here on the order of the county order to catch Luo Wu in Xiazhangqiu County, and I have an official document to be handed over to Zhang Juncheng, these are my companions, not gangsters."

A fierce-eyed soldier came over, "Proof of it? ”

"I have a waist tag and an official document issued by the county order."

After some inspection, the man's fierce eyes were a little more restrained, "I thought that some bold bandit came to look for death, it turned out to be an errand officer from Zhangqiu County." Why are you all weird, going out on errands with a few children who don't have any hair, and all of you are holding strange-shaped guys? ”

The hammer bearer, the man who carried the stick, the man who carried the fork, the man who carried the knife, the man who carried the gun, and the one who carried the bow, these seven guys were indeed a little unusual.

"They are all from some wild roads, and they are no better than this big brother who is a general." Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Hey, that's pretty good at talking, but that's true. When you go to the army, especially in the Weifu army, those captains and generals are like a weapon that is not a lance or a spear, and there are not even many guns, let alone knives, sticks, and sticks. ”

A person next to him said, "I said that the head of the Wang team, people are a few small county catchers and helpers, it is normal to take a fishing fork, hunting bow, firewood knife and hammer, after all, these are the guys that people used to use, what do you say about horse lances, spears, these, do people use them, do you know how to learn?" Don't talk to them, let them hurry into the city, it's dark, and it's about to close the city gate. ”

The leader of the Wang team stopped talking, "You should hurry into the city, but I will remind you, it is late, and no one will pay attention to the yamen at this point, so let's go again tomorrow morning." If there is any other place to stay, please register first. ”

"The soldiers Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao are my maternal uncle's cousins, let's go to his house for one night first."

"Second Brother Qin is your cousin?" Team Wang was surprised, "I said it earlier, it turned out that the second brother's brother fell, Lao Liu, didn't you hear, hurry up, take the second brother's brothers into the city." Tell the second brother, I'll go over when I'm off duty in a while, and I'll bring wine. ”
