Chapter 40: Who Took Me In

With the afterglow of the sunset, Yiling City finally gradually appeared in front of everyone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw a majestic city wall about five miles long and three zhang high, majestic in front of everyone. The city walls are all made of smooth and huge marble barriers, and the city caves are deep and deep, like a man-eating beast crawling on the ground with a big mouth, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts the closer they get closer.

The closer to Yiling City, the more people on the avenue will rise, bringing some warmth to this forested city, and there are many people, of course, all women, pointing at the rest of the people standing behind the women in amazement, looking strange.

Fortunately, along the way, Yu Xin has become accustomed to being pointed out by passers-by, and he does not feel uncomfortable at this time. Anyone who sees something that looks similar to themselves will look like this, and it's good if they don't come up and touch themselves. This is just the same as the villagers in the common village, just curious, normal. But after knowing that they are men, I don't know how this group of people will react. Seeing that none of these people recognized themselves, it seemed that Elder Xu didn't lie to himself, that book was really rare.

This made Yu Xin quite sad, and when the time comes, the city lord must not mistake himself for his father and kill him.

"It's finally here, let's go to my house for a good rest later, and then follow me to see the city lord when it's tidy." Seeing that he was about to enter the city, Qu Zi was also relieved in his heart, although there was no danger, but it was quite tiring to come all the way.

The third daughter of Gongsun did not mean to relax, but her face became even more serious, after all, this time the city lord summoned him, it is likely to decide Yu Xin's life and death, and everyone naturally did not dare to be careless, and their hearts were all up and down.

Yu Xin heard that he could go into the city to rest first, but cheered with the other two soldiers. provoked a burst of exclamations from the surrounding pedestrians. This guy can speak human words.

Of course, these exclamations were all pedestrians standing around Yu Xin, because when they looked at it from a distance, they couldn't see any difference between Yu Xin and them. Because to be able to really recognize Yu Xin's difference from them, you have to make Yu Xin strip naked. If it is only based on the flatness of the chest or the appearance of a woman, these are not in this plane where there are only women, and no one can think that this person is not a woman.

Because of the sunset rules of the city, the peasants outside the city were in a hurry to go home, and most of the merchants who trafficked goods were also in a hurry to enter the city, and only a small number of merchants who were in a hurry or in a hurry would leave the city at this moment. Therefore, at this time, there are a lot of people in and out of the city, although the Yiling City Gate is open four, there are all in the south, south, and northwest, but in front of the hundreds of thousands of people and huge passing merchants in Yiling City, it still seems that the eight-zhang wide city gate is crowded and narrow.

If it weren't for the two rows of guns and bows at the city gate, the murderous soldiers staring at everyone on the side, and the servants who maintained law and order in the city to maintain order at the city gate and inspect the goods, the city gate would not know what it would be like to be crowded and chaotic.

Finally, it was Yu Xin's turn to do it. The soldier in charge of the inspection saw a cadre wearing the armor of the soldier and riding a horse, and was hesitating whether to come forward to check.

But before she could make up her mind, the leader of the two rows of soldiers who stood at the gate of the city, who was usually only a decoration, had already left the team to meet her.

"Centurion, you're back." After speaking, his eyes swept behind Qu Zi, and at a glance, he locked his eyes on Yu Xin, his eyes were full of curiosity. It seems that he also knows what task Qu Zi is performing. His lips opened, and he didn't ask any other questions, thinking that he knew the seriousness of military discipline. You can't ask what you shouldn't.

Qu Zi obviously recognized her too, nodded and said, "Well, I'm back." After speaking, he deliberately pointed at Yu Xin and said, "Look, it's no different, but it's not good to tire others." ”

"Hehe, Centurion Qu can't even make a fuss, and I don't have to think about it." This soldier obviously knew that Qu Zi was complaining, but ridiculing the city lord of Yiling City was naturally not something that a small commander could do, and even other centurions would not dare. I can only make a hehe to cover up the past.

"Alright, let's stop talking. This trip down, but tired. I still have to hurry up and hand in the task, so I can go back and have a good rest. Qu Zi naturally understood what Shi Chang was thinking, smiled slightly, and waved goodbye to her.

Seeing that the chief who had always looked high in front of her, she was talking to the soldier with a respectful look, so she naturally didn't dare to stop her a little, and let Qu Zi and his party enter the city smoothly. At the gate of the city all the year round, I have seen a lot of people of all kinds, that is, the barbarians outside the Central Plains who have begun to deteriorate and become like their fathers, such as Donglin, Beihu, and Xirong, have seen a lot, and even the people in the south who are poor in the water and the mountains have also seen it, and this bit of eyesight is still there.

Yiling City is worthy of being a big city in the Chu Kingdom, and Rao is a city that is accustomed to seeing high-rise buildings and vertical roads in the republican world, and at this moment he is also impressed by this city that seems to be the same as the republican world four thousand years ago. From time to time, there was an exclamation in his mouth, partly because he had really not entered this kind of historical plane before, and he finally experienced the feeling of freshness at this moment, and partly because he was willing to be amazed by the wisdom of the people at this time.

I saw that the wide streets were full of people, but they were still very clean, and the houses on both sides were lined up and neat. The clothes and ornaments worn by each person are also varied, but they are all very beautiful, at least in line with the taste of Yu Xin. Naturally, there were farmers wearing kudzu linen shirts, but they all had warm smiles on their faces.

After walking for a while, Qu Zi stopped and waved his hand to the other two soldiers: "You two go back to the barracks first, and I will take them to the city lord to return to their lives." ”

The two soldiers didn't ask, nodded, and saluted Qu Zi and left, and before leaving, they didn't forget to smile and wave goodbye to Yu Xinyi. In the past two days, everyone has become familiar with it, and naturally it will no longer be as domineering as when they first entered the village. Of course, this is thanks to Yanyan's contributions.

Qu Zi waited for the two of them to walk away, and then turned back to Gongsun and said, "At this time, the city lord is having dinner, and he may not have time to see you." I'll take you to my house for dinner and rest by the way, and then I'll take you into the city lord's mansion in the evening to see the city lord. ”

Gongsun naturally had no opinion on this arrangement, nodded his head, and agreed. completely ignored Yan Yan and Yu Xinba's eyes looking at her.

Sure enough, Yan Yan and Yu Xin were smiling when they saw Gongsun nodding, and even Elder Xu breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know what's going on, everyone thinks that Gongsun doesn't seem to deal with Qu Zi very well.

Qu Zi led everyone through the city for a while before they came to a simple and elegant courtyard.

Let Yu Xin, who has seen a lot of big people in the city at once, be disappointed for a while. I thought that Qu Zi, the head of the soldier's wife, had a big house, but I didn't expect it to be about the same size as the house I lived in the village, but there was an extra yard, and the house was built better, not as thatched in the village, and it was also a sparrow, although it was small, the main living room and kitchen were not lacking. This made Yu Xin very satisfied, at least he should be able to have a separate room to rest. But the thought was fleeting.

led everyone into the hall, Qu Zi said: "There was originally a servant at home, but I let him go back when I was on official business." You bend down and wash up, and I'll go buy some food and come back." After saying that, he went out again, leaving the four grandsons looking at each other.

Gongsun was not polite, she had already found a well on the east side of the courtyard, so she went to carry two buckets of water, and found a room in the wing room on the side of the courtyard, and went in to wash herself.

Elder Xu and Yan Yan glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran to the side room, each entered a room, and occupied the only two remaining rooms. Yes, there are only three rooms in total.

Yu Xin, who was still in the living room, his eyes were wide, his mouth was open, his left foot had been lifted off the ground, looking at the empty hall, and an inexplicable sadness and indignation welled up in his heart. Is this here to help yourself, or to pit yourself?

After a while, Yu Xin relieved his strength, and with a snort, he threw himself into the side room, slapping the closed door of the room.

"Which of you will take me in!"

The tragic sound resounded over the yard, and the tired birds around them were hovering in the sky and did not dare to return to their nests.
