Chapter 67: Tailgating

At the third watch, a carriage was protected by dozens of blue-clothed guards of the Treasure Hall, and went from Cangyun Village to the south gate of Bian Wang City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Gu Tianying and Cang Ziling accompanied Wan to sit in the carriage, Chu Xilai and Mu Tian rode horses and followed the carriage, originally Gu Tianying was reluctant to continue to take Mu Tian, after all, this trip was too dangerous. But Mu Tian didn't agree, so he had to follow Gu Tianying to explore the rivers and lakes. Once this kid called the truth and had a fight with the tendon Chu Evil, Gu Tian should not be able to resist him, and he had no choice but to agree.

Zhou Boyi, Jin Duoduo and others rode horses to open the way in front, at this time the city gate has been closed, dozens of soldiers in bright armor with knives and guns lined up around the city gate, and the fire is blazing in the brazier on the fire rack, and the fire light will reflect the surroundings very brightly.

As soon as the defenders saw a line of troops pouring out of the city, there were fifty or sixty people in front and behind, and hurriedly raised their guns to meet them, first blocking everyone's footsteps, and then went to the barracks under the city gate to inform the city defenders. Although it was already midnight at this time, according to the laws of the Han and Tang Dynasties, when there was a wanted warrant or a major event, the city gate guards could not go home at night, and could only rest in the barracks under the city gate.

However, this rule is rarely implemented in the various states and counties. There are more wanted criminals in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there are wanted warrants issued almost every few days, but the wanted criminals are different, if they really act according to the law, then the city gate guards will not be able to go home and sleep for a few nights a year. Therefore, the city gate guards generally make a show, strolling in front of the city gate in the first half of the night, and running away in the second half of the night, or going home to hug their wives, or taking this opportunity to go to the Qinglou to play, and few people will spend the night in the barracks.

However, Bian Wangcheng is different, Bian Xianshu is very protective of his subordinates, and he is very strict. So when Gu Tianying and Wan's wanted warrants were issued, Bian Xianshu personally explained to the four guards, don't be careless, let go of Gu Tianying and Wan's family, that is a big crime. Therefore, the city gate generals will resolutely perform their duties and will not be lazy and slippery.

Moreover, the city gate guards also have their own small abacus, and usually catch small wanted criminals, and Bian Jushu will reward them with more silver on the basis of the law. If you catch the two big fish, Gu Tianying and Wan's, then let alone reward silver.

As soon as he heard the report from his soldiers, the guard of the south gate turned over and got up, put on his helmet, held the sword under his rib with his right hand, and followed the soldiers out of the barracks and came to the gate of the city.

Everyone immediately looked at it, and saw that the city guard was about forty years old, with a square face and thin eyes, a nose and thin lips, and a two-handful mustache like Cangbei Mountain, and the whole person looked very energetic. This person is one of the four city gate guards of Bian Wangcheng, and Liu Tou, who has the best friendship with Cangbei Mountain.

"The junior general has seen Senior Zhou, has seen the Master of the Golden Hall, has seen the head of the Qingjiao, and has seen the Master of Cangzhuang." Liu Tou looked up at the firelight, and was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his hand to the first few people one by one. He knows all of them, and they are all amazing characters in Bian Wangcheng.

Cangbeishan looked at the city gate guard with a slight smile, bowed back on the horse, and said with a smile: "Liu Tou, I'm really embarrassed to quarrel with you so late." ”

"Where, where, the lord of Cangzhuang is polite." If Cangbie Mountain came alone this time, Liu Tou could have put down his politeness and make a few jokes with Cangbie Mountain, after all, the two could be regarded as friends. But tonight, Liu Tou looked at the lineup in front of him, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense. "I don't know where you're going to go when you leave the city so late?" Liu Tou asked kindly, he had to ask, Zhou Boyi and Qing Yunguang, the big shots, went out of the city, Bian Juan knew that it was not good to ask, Liu Tou had to ask something, and it would be good to make a deal when the time came.

"The air in the city is not good these days, so we go out of the city for a walk." Jin Duoduo said with a smile: "If the city lord Bian asks back, Liu Tou will say that I have eaten too much in the Eight Immortals Building, and it is good to go out of the city to let off steam." ”

As soon as Liu Tou heard this, he knew that Jin Duoduo was perfunctory, so many of them went out of the city to walk in the middle of the night, and a fool would believe it. But Liu Tou can't control this matter, although the statement of letting go is too far-fetched, but if Bian Jushu asks, Liu Tou can be regarded as having an explanation, where can he care about where Jin Duoduo and the others go out of the city.

"Liu Tou, we are in a bit of a hurry to go out of the city this time, you should hurry up and check it." Qing Yunguang said lightly.

As soon as he heard Qing Yunguang's words, Liu Tou still didn't understand, everyone said that there was an emergency, and Liu Tou would definitely offend Qing Yunguang and others if he checked carefully, and Cangbeishan and others were out of the city, and they should have been interrogated when they entered the city, even if something happened, Liu Tou's responsibility was very small.

Thinking of this, Liu Tou hurriedly smiled and said: "You are all friends of the city lord, naturally there is no deviation, there is no need for the check, please go out of the city." ”

"Come, open the gates." Liu Tou turned around and waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge.

"It's still Liu Tou who knows how to do things, knows friends, doesn't want to be that Ermao, doesn't know half of the world, and will be unlucky sooner or later." Qing Yunguang deliberately turned his head to look at Cangbei Mountain and smiled slightly.

"That's a must, I have a friendship with Liu Tou, so I don't need to say much." Cangbeishan said with a smile.

"Everyone, please." Liu Tou listened to the conversation between Qingyunguang and Cangbie Mountain, and was very happy in his heart, so he turned sideways and got out of the way, and hugged his fists and saluted.

Everyone also bowed back to Liu Tou, and a group of dozens of people left Bian Wang City and went straight to the south. Jin Duoduo took dozens of blue-clothed guards to escort Zhou Boyi and the others until they arrived in the east, and the sky was white, and at this time, everyone and Bian Wangcheng had already distanced themselves.

"Master Jintang, you take someone back, thirty miles further is the border city boundary, Long Yuguan and the others should not chase after them." This is the third time that Zhou Boyi has spoken to persuade Jin Duoduo to go back.

"I'll send you off later, and I'll go back when the sun rises." Jin Duoduo said uneasily.

"Golden Hall Master, you still have important things to do, you really don't have to send them again." Qing Yunguang clenched his fists and said, "After I return to Qingmen and report the situation to the door master, we will gather again to discuss." ”

"Yes, Master Jintang, before I went out of the city, I had already sent a message to the flying pigeon in the village, so that people would come to answer me and wait, I think I have already come out of the city at this time, you can rest assured." Cangbei Shance immediately stepped forward and said, before leaving the city, he flew a pigeon to pass the book and asked the people and horses in the border city village to come to answer.

Hearing that everyone persuaded him to go back, Jin Duoduo couldn't force it too much, and he had to hurry back to Jin's house to tell his grandfather about the situation in Qingzhou, and after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement. "In that case, then Jin will send you here, and when everyone arrives safely in the border city, please send a letter to report safety."

"Definitely." Qing Yunguang and the others nodded in agreement.

"The green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, let's say goodbye, there will be a period later." Jin Duoduo clenched his fists and saluted.

"There will be a date later." After everyone returned the salute, Jin Duoduo rode his horse to the side of the carriage again, smiled and talked to Cang Ziling, and said goodbye to Gu Tianying and the others, and then led dozens of blue-clothed guards to turn around and go towards Bian Wangcheng.

After everyone watched Jin Duoduo leave, Qing Yunguang stretched his body, he was a little tired after sleepless night. "Master, the sky will soon be bright, and ten miles ahead is Huilong Town, let's go to the town for some breakfast first, and then it's not too late to hurry."

"It's fine." Zhou Bo nodded, it is very common for them to travel at night in the rivers and lakes, but Wan and the others have never suffered this hardship, and now they should be hungry, so they just went to Huilong Town to rest.

"Brothers, let's swing a few more whips, and when we get to the border city, I'll invite everyone to drink." Qing Yunguang turned around and smiled at the dozen or so hunters in Cangyun Hunter Village.

"Great!" Everyone responded with a smile, and a group of more than a dozen people escorted the carriage and rushed to Huilong Town with high spirits.

Here, Jin Duoduo led everyone to Bian Wangcheng, and the sound of horses' hooves went down the road. As soon as Jin Duoduo passed, nearly thirty horsemen flashed out from the woods beside the road. The person at the head is a young man, with a thin body, a sallow complexion, wavy eyebrows raised, and a very ugly and obscene appearance, this person is Long Yuguan. Next to Long Yuguan are Shi Jintao, the Lu family brothers, the white-faced scholar He Jun, and the black devil Song Lun. As soon as they heard that Zhou Boyi and others had left the city under the escort of Jin Duoduo, Long Yuguan personally led people to chase them out of the city.

"Is it finally there?" Long Yuguan looked at Jin Duoduo and the others who were far away, sneered, turned his head and asked, "Have all the people from the border city been transferred out?" ”

"Don't worry, the third young master of Long, I have already passed the book on the flying, and the people and horses around the border city of Lanbo Hall should already be on their way." Lu Bailang said lightly.

"We Tiansha also happened to have someone in Huilong Town, and I have already informed them to keep an eye on Zhou Boyi and the others."

"Okay." Long Yuguan nodded, turned to look south, and said with a grim face: "Except for Qingyunguang who wants to live, the rest of the people will wait, and no one will be left." ”

"Yes." Everyone gave up their orders, and the group went straight to the south with murderous spirit.
