On the tenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, Shandong Dengzhou Mansion, north of the Bohai Sea, is located in the northeast direction of Shandong, the sun is thin, the sunset is full of sky, two miles away from the north gate of Dengzhou City, a team of soldiers carrying guns, more than 200 people, is a reinforced company of the establishment, walking on the official road, to the direction of Dengzhou Mansion, all the way to the south.

In the procession, there was a carriage moving slowly, whether it was the soldiers in front and behind, or left and right, as the sky gradually darkened, all the soldiers became more and more vigilant, their faces were solemn, and their dark eyes flashed with glittering light, bright and uncertain, looking around.

Under the sunset of Huang Tongtong, the coachman drove the carriage unhurriedly and headed towards Dengzhou City, and the person on the other side of the front seat of the carriage was Yang Xiao, a scholar who followed Yang Lin to Guangzhou to take up his post, and grew up together.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the carriage: "Xiaoxiao, how long will it take to get to Dengzhou City?" After walking for so long, will it delay our return tomorrow and take a boat to the capital in time? ”

The light of the sunset reflected on Yang Xiao's face, and when he heard this, he immediately replied: "Old lady, we are still about two miles away from Dengzhou City, and we will not delay tomorrow's trip, don't worry, after the first corner, you can see Dengzhou City." ”

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and with the support of the two maids, a middle-aged woman poked out, and a tired face appeared, which was Yang Lin's mother, Yang Wang.

Looking at the hillside in front of him, at the twists and turns, Yang Wang's face was a little pale due to the fatigue of the journey, and at this moment, a trace of blush appeared on his cheeks, and he muttered excitedly: "It's been twenty years, and I'm finally home, I didn't expect that this place has changed so much, I don't know if those people are still there?" ”

The nostalgia is more timid, which can best interpret Yang Wang's mood at the moment.

Seeing the old lady come out and hearing such an exclamation, Yang Xiao's heart was sour for no reason, and then he said hurriedly: "Old lady, hurry back to the carriage, it's windy outside, it's too cold, if you get cold, Yang Xiao can't explain to the young master~"

Yang Wang waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "Xiaoxiao, you see, my old lady has worn so many clothes, she is about to become a zongzi, she won't catch a cold, it's too stuffy in the carriage, it's better to come out to breathe, and be more comfortable." ”

Seeing the old lady's somewhat flushed face, the bright light on her forehead, and the thick clothes she was wrapping, Yang Xiao didn't stop it anymore, moved forward with the coachman, made more space, and made a gesture of support with both hands, and said at the same time: "Old lady, be careful, you just sit behind me, it's safer." ”

The coachman's driving skills are first-class, and along the way, the whole carriage is running very smoothly, even in the process of walking, Yang Wang did not feel too much fluctuation, and sat there steadily, looking at the surrounding scenery with a happy face.

Although it is the sun is thin, the cold winter wax moon, the ten thousand trees are depressed, the grass is withered, there are wilderness on both sides, dead wood and hay, except for the green wheat and sunset, there is no scenery, but Yang Wangshi still feels smooth, warm, and comfortable, all this in front of him is so beautiful, it is so kind, and there is a faint sense of expectation in his heart.

In less than half an hour, a group of people came to Dengzhou City, when there were more than ten meters away from the city gate, suddenly, I saw a group of soldiers rushing out of Dengzhou City, everyone with submachine guns in their hands, scattered not far from the city gate, the soldiers on the city tower were also holding submachine guns, and two machine guns were also set up, pointing directly at Yang Xiao and others, so at the same time, only to hear a stern warning sound from the group of soldiers who suddenly appeared.

"The people in front of me, all stopped, put down their weapons, were checked, and if they took another step, we would shoot!"

All of a sudden, the sudden change immediately made Yang Wangshi nervous, and said worriedly: "Xiaoxiao, what's the matter?" Why didn't those people let us into the city and let us get tested? ”

Yang Xiao smiled slightly, not in a hurry, and said soothingly: "Old lady, don't worry, it's okay, it's just that there are too many of us in our group, and we still have so many weapons, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, wait a while, I will go and ask people to come over to negotiate, we can enter the city in a while, there will be no danger." ”

Despite saying this, seeing that Yang Xiao said very firmly and confidently, Yang Wangshi was still apprehensive, his heart was uneasy, the worry on his face was still there, and he looked nervously at the soldiers who rushed out of Dengzhou City.

Seeing this situation, the old lady's performance, Yang Xiao also knew in his heart that no matter how he appeased, it would not have much effect, and the old lady didn't know that the people on the other side were all her own people, all of them were soldiers under the young master, and even the whole world was the young master's.

To solve the current situation, it is actually very simple, just like what I just said, you only need to negotiate and slightly show your identity.

At the same time as these thoughts flashed in Yang Xiao's mind, he saw that one person had walked out of his team, and he went straight forward, still carrying a submachine gun on his back, and every step of the way, he exuded an incomparable momentum, which was honed by the battle on the battlefield.

At the same time, among the group of soldiers guarding the city outside the city gate, the voice just now sounded again: "Don't act rashly, be careful of accidentally injuring your own people, look at their outfits and weapons, they are similar to ours, let that person come." However, it is still necessary to be vigilant and careful, so as not to be an impersonator, and not to slack off in the slightest. ”

Although he said this, he was muttering in his heart: "Whether it is clothing, hairstyle, or weapon equipment, it is almost the same as my own, faintly, and the performance is better, not to mention others, just a submachine gun, not everyone can equip it." As long as the person has a submachine gun, it is either from the Kongtong Army, or from the Qilin Army, or Thunder. ”

While secretly muttering to himself, his mind suddenly changed, and he said secretly: "It seems that the identity of the people in the carriage is not simple, and the escorts equipped with them have almost reached a reinforced company, all of them are fully armed, everyone is armed with submachine guns, from helmets to boots under their feet, they are the most sought-after equipment in the army, and only extremely elite front-line combat troops can have them." ”

Thinking of this, seeing that the people walking over on the opposite side were only four or five meters away, he saw more and more clearly, and became more convinced of his own judgment, and then got up, no longer lying on the ground, took advantage of the situation with his right hand to close the safety of the submachine gun, and greeted the soldiers around him and on the city wall: "Brothers, put the gun away, close the insurance, don't miss the gun, so as not to hurt your own people." ”

With a bang, all the soldiers who were lying on their stomachs or squatting stood up, and as the company commander's order sounded, although they were very skeptical of the words in front, everyone still simply carried out the order, heard the explanation behind, and then looked at the person who had gone, most of the soldiers knew in their hearts, why the company commander said this, and completely carried out the order, and turned off the safety of the submachine gun.

Whether it was the person who walked out of Yang Xiao and his party, or the soldiers guarding the door, they were all wearing military uniforms, especially this company commander, seeing that the other party's shoulders were embroidered with dragon-shaped patterns of three bars, he knew that the other party was a captain, far more advanced than his own second lieutenant, but the same company commander, they saluted each other, and then shook hands with each other.

The second lieutenant was just about to speak, and after a pleasant greeting, the captain made a quick gesture, then took out a document from his arms, threw it to the second lieutenant, and waited until the second lieutenant saw the contents of the document clearly and confirmed the authenticity, and then made a gesture again.

It all happened like a flurry of motion, as if it were a regular occurrence, from the first gesture of the captain to the second, but in a matter of seconds.

The Captain withdrew his credentials and put them back in his arms, and the two of them walked to one side, a little away from the others, and the Captain whispered to the Lieutenant, as if talking about something important.

Yang Xiao, who was in the distance, had been watching all this, and muttered secretly in his heart: "This captain is really, every time he gets off the boat and comes to land and enters the relevant town, as long as he encounters the soldiers guarding the city gate, he will make such mysterious movements, full of weirdness, and make people curious about the content of the conversation." ”

Soon, Yang Xiao saw the captain waving to him, signaling that he could move on, and at the same time, the second lieutenant ordered aloud: "Everyone is here, divide into two teams, and stand on the side of the road." ”

The neat and uniform movements, crisp and neat, give people a dazzling visual effect, the carriage moved forward slowly, Yang Xiao looked at the soldiers on both sides with great interest, everyone was wearing weapons, especially the carriage walked in the middle of the two teams of soldiers, and the moment of saluting at the same time made Yang Xiao feel a little inexplicably excited and surging.

"Stand upright, salute!" The second lieutenant shouted, stood up straight, and saluted Yang Wang's eyes, solemnly and respectfully.

As soon as he arrived in the capital, seeing pedestrians who were far away, Yang Wang said to the captain who was walking on the side: "Little brother, can you change into ordinary clothes?" This is too conspicuous and attention-grabbing, the old man is going back to his parents' house to see, don't follow so many people, just three or four. ”

Obviously, Yang Wang's family often called the captain like this, the captain's expression was very calm, for this request, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall that were gradually moving away, seemed to feel that the city was very safe, nodded, and agreed.

"Hmm... Okay, old lady, you wait here now, arrange the soldiers who remain, and after you have explained it, I will accompany you to that place. ”

"Go ahead, little brother, this is not in a hurry, anyway, I am in the city, and I don't care about this time for a while." Yang Wang smiled and said kindly.

The captain didn't say anything more, and walked towards the back of the carriage, leaving everyone in place, seeing this situation, Yang Xiao turned his face sideways curiously, looked back, and found that the captain was talking to the previous city guard, saying something.
