The generals were full of confidence when they heard Liu Xin, although they had doubts, they didn't dare to ask again, they all gave up their hands and retreated, and they went back to the camp to prepare not to mention, at this time, suddenly a train came to Jianmen Pass, and a man in his forties, dressed as a businessman, jumped down from a carriage in front of him, and went straight to the gate.

The weather was still very cold in the first month, and the soldiers guarding the pass held their spears in their arms, rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, trying to drive away the slightest chill from their bodies, not paying the slightest attention to the fact that someone was walking towards them.

The merchant looked at their clothes and armor, and knew in his heart that these soldiers guarding the pass should be soldiers in the local army, no wonder they were so listless, if they were replaced by soldiers of the regular army, even if they were frozen into ice lumps, they would straighten their waists, seeing this scene, Shang Jia's face showed a smile, and his steps were a little faster, and he stepped forward and saluted: "This big brother, when will the gate be opened, we are waiting to get out." ”

The soldier didn't even raise his head, yawned and said casually: "Oh, you're going to get out of the customs, just wait, it'll be open in a while." ”

A soldier next to him saw Shang Jia nodding and bowing, and couldn't help laughing: "Lao Wang, don't tease him, I'm afraid this door hasn't been opened for a year, you let him wait, when will this wait." ”

The soldier named Lao Wang raised his head, glanced at Shang Jia, and said: "It's cold, no one is amused, how can this post stand, hahahaha......"

In the burst of laughter of the soldiers, a man dressed as an officer came out of the hole in the city gate, and the merchant was at a loss there, and when he saw the officer, he suddenly felt as if he had found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly greeted him, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and quietly handed it over, and said: "This lord, Xiaomin has sold a few truckloads of goods from Xiangyang and come all the way, and I want to try my luck outside the customs, and I hope that the adults will make it convenient." ”

The officer's eyes glanced slightly, and he had already seen that it was a silver ticket, but he refused to accept it, and said loudly: "Since you came from Xiangyang, don't you know the rules, don't you put away the silver ticket quickly, I still want to keep the guy who eats on my neck, to tell you the truth, there is no order from the top that this gate cannot be opened, but for more than a year, no one has ever asked to go out, so we are too lazy to get this gate, and it doesn't matter if you want to get out, but the routine procedures are inevitable, in addition, I can say it first, The people outside the customs are not quite the right way with our lord, whether you can make money when you go out of the customs is secondary, whether this little life can be saved is two words, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes. ”

Shang Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded again and again, put away the silver ticket, handed over a document again, and said: "Xiaomin's surname is Song, and he has been doing business in Xiangyang all the year round. ”

The officer looked up at the convoy behind Shopkeeper Song, there were two carriages at the head, five mule carts behind them, six or seven men took care of them, and the officer ordered: "Children, go and see if there are any forbidden things." ”

After speaking, he walked to the two carriages by himself, opened the curtain of the first carriage, but it was empty, and the shopkeeper Song had already greeted him with a sneer: "My lord, this is a small people, and the villain is a law-abiding citizen, so he doesn't dare to have any entrainment and private hiding." ”

The officer ignored him, and walked on, and opened the curtain of the second carriage, but saw a young woman sitting in the middle, a man and a woman, and two children curled up in her arms. ”

Shopkeeper Song hurriedly walked over and arched his hand and said: "Lord Mingjian, this is Xiaomin's wife and children, I want to come out together to see the world, I am in a hurry, I forgot to add a name on the paperwork, and please raise my noble hand and let us go out together." ”

The officer snorted coldly and said, "A little lady with a lot of water, a baby with a lot of pink, don't stay at home, come to this ice and snow, who do you want to deceive." ”

Hearing the officer's suspicion, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he pulled the officer to the side of the carriage and whispered: "Don't hide it from the adult, this is Xiaomin's outer room, and there is a tigress at home, if you don't take it with you, Xiaomin can't rest assured." ”

The officer looked at the woman, only to see that she was blushing when she heard the words of the shopkeeper Song, and laughed unconsciously, and said: "It seems that the older generation is right, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, okay, okay, I don't embarrass you, pay the tax and leave quickly." ”

The gate that has not been opened for a year slowly opened, the outside of the gate is really white, the snow is knee-deep, and even the road can not be seen clearly, and so the convoy is out of the customs, the kind soldier pointed out the direction to the Song shopkeeper again, and instructed him a few words, and then closed the door again, at this time, the soldiers who were still hanging just now all stood up straight, closed the wall, and Lao Wang also said to the officer just now: "General Shi, our task has been completed well." ”

It turned out that these people were not ordinary local army soldiers, but Xu Huang's subordinates, and the officer headed by him was Shi Lian, a general in the First Legion, Shi Lian set up a pergola, looked at the convoy that was gradually moving away, and said expressionlessly: "Report to the general immediately, the pigeon has been released." ”

"Pigeon" is the code name of the Song shopkeeper, he is also a member of the Phantom secret spy, usually in Xiangyang City as a businessman as a cover, to listen to whether there is a small outside, this is his first time out of the mission, this mission is not complicated, is to lurk in the Jiameng Pass in the special forces soldiers to send a signal to do it, if this mission can be successfully completed, he can go from the dark to the light in the future, no longer have to live a frightened, hiding secret spy life,

The road outside the Jianmen Pass is obviously deserted for a long time, and the snow has not melted, the convoy is very difficult, more than 20 miles away, from early morning to noon, before coming to Jiameng Pass,

Shopkeeper Song shouted, stopped the convoy, jumped out of the carriage again, stepped forward, stood at the gate and shouted: "Brother Guan, open the door, I have something urgent to see Lord Yang." ”

This is the west gate of Jiameng Pass, it has not been opened for a year and a half, and there are not a few soldiers guarding the pass, the shopkeeper Song shouted for a long time, before a person poked out of the city, and shouted: "Where did the wild man come from, what kind of soul did you shout, Lord Yang is what you said to see, I see you like a thin man, if you don't go, I will open the bow and release the arrow." ”

Shopkeeper Song hurriedly took out a piece of silver from his arms, raised it in his hand, and said, "This brother, please make it convenient, there is indeed an urgent matter to see the adult." ”

When the soldier saw the white silver, he was really moved, and said, "You wait." Then the figure disappeared,

Shopkeeper Song was looking at the closed door with hope, who knew that after a while, he saw a bamboo basket hanging from the city, and the soldier just now poked his head out again and said, "Quick, put things in here." ”

The soldier got this ingot of silver, obviously much more polite than just now, and said: "This guest officer, you don't know yet, my lord has an order, Jia Meng Pass only opens the east gate, and the other city gates are not allowed to open, if you want to enter the city, you have to hurry around it, it's too late." ”

Song shopkeeper didn't expect to throw out a piece of silver, it turned out that this was just asking for money for the road, and he didn't even have the door to buy the road, he couldn't help but shake his head, Song shopkeeper was anxious, I was afraid that he had missed a big deal, and he didn't say much to him, so he quickly jumped into the carriage and commanded the convoy to detour to the east gate, and when he arrived at the east gate, he saw several soldiers slowly pushing the city gate from a distance, so anxious that the Song shopkeeper shouted: "Wait a minute, brother in front, there is an urgent matter to enter the city, wait for me." ”

In fact, it is not yet the time to close the city gate, but such a convoy walking in the field covered in silver makeup, naturally looks particularly eye-catching, the soldiers guarding the gate have already seen it, and then deliberately made the appearance of closing the city gate, they know very well that there is no shop in front of the village here, and there is no other way to go except for entering the city, and it just so happens that you can knock a bamboo pole fiercely.

Shopkeeper Song hurried to the city gate, but saw that the city gate was hidden, leaving only a small gap, and hurriedly said: "Brothers, please make it convenient, there is an urgent matter to ask to see Lord Yang." ”

The officer-like man at the head looked Shopkeeper Song up and down, twisted one hand in front of him, and muttered: "You came at a good time, the brothers just closed the door, you came, even if I promise to let you in, the brothers will probably have opinions, you see......"

Shopkeeper Song understood, nodded again and again, and said: "Don't worry, adults, I understand the rules, I understand the rules, a little meaning, not respect." ”

As he spoke, a large ingot of silver was stuffed again, as much as fifty taels, and the officer's face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, and he said with a smile: "You are too polite, then I have no choice but to be respectful and obey my fate, little ones, open the door, by the way, this guest officer, what is the matter with your Lord Yang of my family." ”

Shopkeeper Song stretched out his hand and pulled him aside, and whispered: "Don't hide it from your lord, I have brought Lord Yang's wife and children, and I hope you will point out Lord Yang's residence, and when Lord Yang's reward comes down, I will definitely not forget your share." ”

The officer immediately smiled, stretched out his hand, called a cronie soldier, and said: "Ergouzi, quick, lead the way, send this guest officer to Lord Yang's house, the car is sitting on Lord Yang's family, you can be careful for me on the road." ”

The second dog got the chicken feather as an arrow, and suddenly raised his toes, picked up the spear and ran in front, all the way to the road, making the chicken fly and the dog jumped, there was the pedestrian who avoided slowly, and the butt was inevitably hit by him one or two feet, and the second dog's mouth scolded and scolded from time to time: "Don't get out of the way quickly, block the way of Lord Yang's family, be careful of your dog's head." ”

In Guan Ya, Yang Huai and Gao Pei were sitting opposite each other, drinking there, when they suddenly saw the old family member outside the door stumbling in, and stammered: "Old, the old man is very happy, madam, madam, she came back with the young master and the young lady." ”
