The guards of the West City Gate are also Wu Jingwei, Wu Jingwei has a total of six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, most of them are divided into the various gates of the capital, and its highest administrator is naturally the commander of Wu Jingwei.

But there is a team of people who are extremely special, although they are also subordinate to Wu Jingwei, but they are also on duty at the department, and although their highest commander is only a capital division, but Wu Jingwei's commander is unable to command this capital division, and the command of this capital division is directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor.

This group of people and horses is specially used to guard the ten gates of the capital, the highest governor of the capital is the ten gates of the capital, although it is organized in the Wujingwei, but it does not belong to the commander of the Wujingwei, they have absolute autonomy, the ten gates of the capital is like the white building of the Shenyi Guard, and it is also directly under the orders of the emperor.

There are not many people in the Ten Gate Metropolitan Mansion, and the total number of people is only a thousand, and almost all of the garrison ten gates are stationed near the city gate.

As one of the four main gates of the capital, the West City Gate is naturally guarded by more troops, always maintaining 60 people, 30 people guarding the city, and the other 30 people are guarding under the city gate.

Every day, their main duty, in addition to inspecting pedestrians and vehicles, is to open the city gate early and close the city gate late, although it seems very boring, but it is an extremely important yamen.

The cold wind was howling, and under the west city gate, a guard school staggered over, yawned, and walked to the edge of the city gate, and saw that dozens of people had gathered under the city gate.

These people are all going out of the city, but there is still some time before the hour, so they can only wait.

The soldiers guarding the city opened and closed the city gate in strict accordance with the hour, which could not be sloppy, and there were soldiers who were responsible for watching the time. ”

"Back to my lord, it's been a moment, and it's still a moment."

The guard school nodded, looked up at the sky, it was late in winter, but it was already dawning at this time, he waved his hand, and there was already a soldier shouting loudly: "It's all lined up, open the city gate immediately, come one after another, don't rob it." ”

The people who were waiting to leave the city immediately lined up, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, only to see a few horseback attendants escorting a carriage that was rapidly approaching, the guard school glanced at it, and smiled at the soldiers beside him: "Guess whose car is that?" ”

"The little one doesn't know the way, Lord Weixiao, do you know the way?"

"You donkey head." The guard school yawned and scolded, "You are on duty here for two days a day? has no vision world, it was the car of Lord Gu, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, who beat us many times in the West City Gate, but Lao Tzu remembers it clearly. ”

"Adults have keen eyes, and small ones admire." The soldier next to him laughed.

Wei Xiao raised his foot and kicked it, and then smiled: "A few times ago, I didn't see Gu Shilang go out so early. Do you know that Lu Dao, this criminal department has recently arrested people everywhere, in Beijing, and outside Beijing, but when it comes to arresting people in the local area, oil and water are indispensable at all, so why do these adults get up so early? ”

As he spoke, the carriage approached.

Wei Xiao had already stepped forward, glanced at Ma Zhongheng, who was in the lead, and said with a smile: "Master Gu is going out of Beijing?" ”

Ma Zhongheng didn't speak, just nodded.

Wei Xiao walked to the side of the carriage and said respectfully into the carriage: "Lord Gu, the city gate has not opened yet, you have to wait for a while, don't blame the boss." ”

There was just an "um" in the car, and there was no more to say.

The guard school said to the coachman again: "Brothers, Lord Gu's official business is urgent, don't wait behind here, go to the front first, wait for the city gate to be opened, you will be the first to go out of the city, don't delay the important affairs of Lord Shilang!" ”

The coachman smiled and shook the reins of the horse, and immediately a soldier shouted in front of him to let the team retreat, and Ma Zhongheng and others stepped forward and lined up at the front of the city gate.

When the people in line saw that it was an official bus, they naturally didn't dare to say much.

It is difficult for the city gate guard school to have a relationship with the waiter of the criminal department, so he let the carriage line up in front and raise his hands, but he is thinking that one day this waiter will be happy, thinking of himself, he may not give himself a better future.

King Qi and the others in the carriage were extremely nervous at this time.

Through the gap in the curtain, he could see that the heavy gate was ahead, and as soon as the gate was opened, the carriage went out, and it was considered to be temporarily out of the cage.

The more he was at this point, the more nervous he became.

This night was really thrilling, what happened in his life is unforgettable, now it is only one step away from getting out, less than a quarter of an hour later, the city gate is opened, you can get out, he only hopes to be able to survive this short time safely, his heart is in his throat, lest at this last moment, the prince's men and horses suddenly catch up, then everything will be wasted.

Time passes, in fact, a quarter of an hour is really not a long time, but not only King Qi feels like a year, everyone else also feels that time is like standing still, all around are Wu Jingwei's soldiers, but there is a flaw, the consequences are unimaginable, Ling Shuang's two pink fists are clenched, his eyes are closed, his breathing is very light, but it is very short, obviously his heart is also extremely nervous.

Suddenly I heard the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of horses' hooves was not a few, there were more than a dozen horses, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from behind, like thunder.

Ma Zhongheng and others outside the car, Qi Wang and others in the car, their hearts are tight, Qiu Ruxue has been bullied forward, rushed to the back of the car, this car is specially designed, there are small holes in the back, you can see the scene behind the carriage from the hole, Qiu Ruxue's eyes came to the hole, only to see the people queuing up to go out of the city, and in the distance, a team of people and horses galloped forward, like wolves and tigers.

Qiu Ruxue had already clenched the handle of the knife, and the other people in the car saw Qiu Ruxue like this, and they felt that something had happened, King Qi's face suddenly turned pale, and Lu Haosheng was already frowning.

The group of men and horses came so fast that they ignored the people in line, rode directly to the city gate, and stopped their horses on the side of the carriage, Ma Zhongheng remained silent and did not squint.

This team of people and horses are all wearing ordinary cotton clothes and cotton hats, but their waists are slightly bulging, Ma Zhongheng can see at a glance that these people are wearing sabers around their waists, but they are covered under cotton robes, obviously deliberately not letting people see that they are wearing swords.

Ma Zhongheng was born in the army, not only can he see at a glance that these people are wearing swords, but also at a glance he can see that they are all from military backgrounds, and those who have been in the army are absolutely different from ordinary people, Ma Zhongheng is also a soldier, and he can keenly smell the breath of soldiers from them.

The leader turned his head and glanced at Ma Zhongheng, and didn't say anything, but at this time, the city gate guard school had already stepped forward quickly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" I don't know if I have to queue up when I go out of the city? ”

The leader glanced at the guard school, his eyes were full of disdain, and said lightly: "There is an urgent matter, I can't wait." ”

At this time, King Qi and the others in the carriage were all tense in their nerves, I don't know if this group of people in Lu Dao was a chaser sent by the prince, but if it was a chaser, why didn't the soldiers do it?

The guard school saw that the cavalry leader was quite arrogant, but a little annoyed, although he was only in charge of this city gate, but it was good to be in charge of this acre and three points of land, he had the final say, holding down the handle of the knife, Wu Jingwei on the side of the city gate saw this group of soldiers rushing straight to the city gate, and they were also a little stunned, it was rare to see such an arrogant man and horse, and when he saw the guard school holding down the handle of the knife, this group of soldiers also had the vision, and immediately pointed forward with a spear, aiming at this group of cavalry.

More than ten cavalrymen saw that Wu Jingwei was about to use force, and they were not ambiguous, and they all touched their hands to their waists, and someone had already lifted their robes, revealing the blades inside.

The people who were waiting to leave the city in the back were all taken aback, for fear of harming the pond fish, they retreated one after another, and distanced themselves from the city gate, only the carriage of King Qi remained motionless.

"Why, do you want to use force?" The cavalry leader smiled, full of playful meaning.

"Who the hell are you?" Seeing that the cavalry leader was so arrogant, the guard school did not dare to act rashly, it was rare to dare to be so presumptuous here, there were many high-ranking officials in Beijing, and there were many Bodhisattvas, and I didn't know which Bodhisattva's subordinates these people were, if the Bodhisattva behind was too big and accidentally offended, it would be impossible to eat and walk around.

The cavalry leader didn't say much, reached into his arms, took a black sign, and lit it up in front of the guard school, the guard school saw the sign, his face changed slightly, turned around and waved, signaling everyone to retreat, the cavalry leader smiled disdainfully, and no longer paid attention to the guard school.

It's just that his sign lit up, but Ma Zhongheng saw it very clearly, he was born in the army, of course, he saw that it was a military card, and he judged it at a glance, it was the officer token of the Tunwei Army, and this person was at least a general flag.

The main commander of the 12 Tun Guards will be Lei Guheng, the general of the Zhenguo, and the 12 Tun Guards are divided into the left and right Tun Guards, each with a Tun Guard General, the left and right Tun Tun under the jurisdiction of six Tun soldiers and horses, each Tun has a commander, and under the command, there are also official positions such as the general flag, the capital division, the guard school, etc., now the east and west sides of the capital, there are also five Tun Guards, Ma Zhongheng immediately guessed that these dozen cavalry, eight or nine out of ten are the officers and soldiers of which tun.

He is in the capital, naturally knows some hidden things, several Tun Guards are stationed in the barracks, the security of the garrison Empire's capital, soldiers and horses must not be easily mobilized, but in the Tun Guard Army, there are occasionally some generals who secretly leave the barracks and go to the capital to enjoy some gentle flowers, which is already a secret that many people know, especially after Lei Guheng went to the southeast, this situation is not uncommon, but this kind of thing cannot be fanfare after all, so the generals of the Tun Guard Army will dress up in disguise when they go to the city to buy spring.

Ma Zhongheng knew that these people should be the generals of the Tun Guard Army who went to Beijing to buy spring.

"My lord, the hour has come, and the city gate can be opened!"

This sound, like a heavenly sound, came into the carriage, Qi Wang and others were suddenly excited, the guard school did not delay, waved people to carry down the crossbar of the city gate, open the city gate, in the quack, the city gate opened, not fully opened, the group of cavalry of the Tun Guard army has urged the horses to rise, like the wind whistling away, the guard school chased outside the city gate, looked at the back of the cavalry, and smacked fiercely in the back.

When he turned around, Ma Zhongheng had already gone out with the carriage, and Wei Xiao flashed to the side and said very politely: "Lord Shilang has a good journey, send off Lord Shilang!" ”

After he watched the carriage leave, he turned around and said loudly, "All line up, come one by one." ”

The people who went out of the city had to be checked by the soldiers, but after a short while, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, booming like thunder, this time there were more than 20 horsemen, all of them were Wu Jingwei's armor, the city gate guard school frowned slightly, but he had already heard the team of men and horses shouting: "No one is allowed to go out of the city, close the city gate, it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city, close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly......!" ”

The city gate guard school didn't know what happened to the road for a while, everyone looked over, at this time Yuan Dusi led more than 20 flying horses to gallop, like lightning, and instantly arrived under the city gate, the cavalry stopped the city gate, pointed forward, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone stop, don't go out of the city...... Where is the guarding school, it will be Yuan Ang, the capital of Wujing Weixicheng! ”

The guard school looked at the momentum, knew that it was true, and hurriedly stepped forward, "I've seen Yuan Dusi!" ”

"When did the gates open?"

"Two quarters a quarter." Wei Xiao replied: "I don't know what Yuan Dusi has to say? ”

"There are important criminals who want to escape from the city, and they have already been sent to the prison country." Yuan Dusi said in a deep voice: "Immediately block the city gate, without the order of the prison country, not a fly can fly out of the city." ”

Seeing this, the guard school was about to order his subordinates to close the city gate, but Yuan Dusi asked again: "How many people have gone out?" ”

"Back to my lord, it's been a while since the city gate was opened, and there are hundreds of people ...... out of the city!"

"What suspicious people can you find?" Yuan Dusi stared at the Wei School, "I will suspect that the main offender is a fake identity and secretly goes out of the city." ”

"Impersonation?" Wei Xiao frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows, and said, "Yuan Dusi, there is indeed a team of people who are very suspicious. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Dusi's spirit tightened, "How many people are there, what do they look like?" ”

"There were more than a dozen people, all on horseback, wearing ordinary cotton clothes, but under the cotton clothes, there were hidden blades." The guard school actively reported: "They showed their signs, saying that they were from the Tun Guard. ”

"Guards? More than a dozen rides ......! Yuan Dusi clenched his sword, turned his horse's head, went out of the city gate, and asked, "In which direction did they go?" ”

The guard pointed to the south and said, "My lord, they went that way, and they rode fast and walked in a hurry. ”

"You close the gates first, and the prison will soon send someone to seal the city gate and not allow anyone to enter or leave until the prison state's order is delivered." Yuan Dusi waved his big knife, "Come with me and catch up with them!" He led the rest of the people and chased them south with a roar.

When Yuan Dusi led the people to leave, the guard school immediately ordered his subordinates to close the city gate, and those who couldn't get out of the city gate were full of complaints, and some soldiers couldn't help but ask the guard school: "My lord, do you want to go out of the city?" What kind of offense is it, it seems to be very serious. ”

"I don't know what to do." Wei Xiao said triumphantly: "But the cavalry just now, Lao Tzu saw at a glance that there was a problem, they must be guilty of disguise...... The people who pretend to be the guards are really bold enough to commit crimes! ”
