Chapter 2009: Quickly close the city gates
"Brothers, let's call it a day and go back!"
Seeing that it was almost cleaned up, Song Qi waved his hand to everyone, but walked towards the door first. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Call it a day and go back!" Everyone laughed happily.
Wu Biao leaned over and picked up Turin from the ground, and effortlessly put him on his shoulder, as if he had put on a quilt, "This kid looks skinny, I can't see it, and it's a little heavy!" ”
"No matter how heavy it is, can it still stump you Wu Dali!" Ao Leopard laughed, took out a black mask from his backpack, and put it on Turin's head. The inn where they were staying, naturally, could not be known to Turin.
Turin lost his voice, then his blindness. It was pitch black in front of him, and people were dangling in midair.
They left the alley, and as soon as they turned into another alley, they saw a group of men and horses enter the alley from a distance.
"It's dangerous!" Everyone secretly rejoiced and couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Back at the inn, it was already the third watch.
Wu Biao threw Turin into the corner of the wall, stretched out his hands and yawned, "Oops! Trap me! As he spoke, he walked to the bed, and he was heard purring.
Song Qi shook his head and smiled, he yawned unconsciously, and suddenly felt a little sleepy, so he said to everyone: "Everyone take a break, let's find a way to get out of the city after dawn!" ”
In the midst of a fierce fight, no matter how tired or tired you are, you won't feel it.
Now that Turin was in his hands and had achieved perfection, his spirit was somewhat slackened, and his fatigue and fatigue were doubly revealed.
The yawn seemed to spread from the air, and everyone yawned one after another, and said weakly, "Yes, I'm so sleepy, let's sleep well first." ”
The next morning, the sky was overcast, as if it could drip water.
The weather seemed to be very well coordinated with a pair of funeral processions on the street.
Pedestrians on the street are hurrying and coming and going.
A thin man, dressed in white linen clothes, dragged from head to toe. With an indifferent expression, he drove a gray-haired thin horse, pulled a black coffin behind him, and walked slowly towards the city gate. He was followed by five or six men, dressed in the same linen clothes. With a solemn expression, he walked slowly and scattered white petals into the air. The white petals fluttered in the air, showing a bit of sadness.
Although some people think that seeing the coffin can be interpreted as a promotion and fortune, most people still think that it is unlucky. So people saw the funeral procession from afar. He bowed his head and ducked to the side of the street.
In a short time, the procession marched to the gates of the city.
The soldiers defending the city frowned when they saw the coffin, which they also thought was unlucky. In particular, the coffin was brightly painted, and the light was discerning, and they were eager to avoid it, so as not to be seen by the coffin.
Naturally, the young soldier hid far away.
The two older soldiers, because of their duties, had to step forward and stop them with their guns, shouting, "What are you going to do? ”
"Huh~" The thin man who was driving the horse pulled the reins of the horse and arched his hand to the two soldiers. With a long sigh, he said, "Master Jun, my uncle died of a violent illness last night. We had no choice but to drag him to the mountains and bury him in a mass grave. ”
One of the soldiers with a dull yellow face couldn't help but take a step back when he heard this, frowned and asked, "What did you die of?" ”
The thin man took a step closer, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "Alas! Don't laugh at the military master when you say it, my uncle has tuberculosis! ”
"Tuberculosis?" The other dark-faced listened, his face also changed, and he took a few steps back.
According to the rules, any large luggage out of the city needs to be opened for inspection. It's just that when they hear the word tuberculosis, they don't dare to approach.
The thin man looked at the soldier with an indifferent expression, stretched out his hand, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "Do you want to open it for inspection?" ”
The yellow-faced soldier poked his gun on the ground and stumbled to his feet, saying, "It's really unlucky." What is there to check for the dead! Hurry up! ”
The thin man didn't move his feet, but turned his head to look at the dark-faced soldier: "Master, do you want to open the coffin and take a look?" As he spoke, he put his hand on the lid of the coffin, intending to uncover it.
The dark-faced soldier stared at the black coffin and hesitated for a moment. raised the gun, knocked the lid of the coffin slightly, then waved his hand outside the city, and slowly spit out a few words: "Forget it, go!" ”
"Master Xie!" The thin man raised the whip in his hand, threw it in the air with a crisp sound, and shouted to the horse: "Drive! ”
The gray-haired horse snorted, lifted its hooves, and walked slowly out of the city. The send-off person from behind also came up, but he still hung his head, as if he was in a very heavy mood, and even his steps were quite heavy.
The group slowly passed through the doorway of the city wall, and crossed the drawbridge without hurrying, as if the deceased in the coffin was very nostalgic for the city and could not bear to leave.
At that moment, the sound of people shouting and neighing horses came from the city. I saw a troop of men and horses galloping from the middle of the city, and the hooves of the horses trampled on the stone pavement of the streets, stirring up the sound of hooves rolling like thunder.
The first rode to the gate of the city, and announced in a loud voice: "The general has an order, close the city gate urgently!" ”
The soldiers defending the city suddenly felt their hearts and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?" ”
The herald frowned, and said sharply: "The second general was kidnapped by Chen Bing!" The general has an order, close the city gate quickly! Anyone suspicious will be arrested! ”
The soldiers defending the city were shocked, and hurriedly looked back at the city gate, and the guns in their hands were clenched.
At this time, the herald also saw the funeral procession outside the city, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! ”
The funeral procession, which had just left the city, had already quickened its pace when it heard the sound of people shouting and neighing from behind. By this time they had reached a hundred paces from the city gate. Where would they obey the orders of the heralds, and when they heard the order, they would speed up and run out of the city.
"General, a suspicious team is out of town!" The herald shouted to the back.
The ranks behind caught up, a dozen cavalry plus a hundred and ten infantrymen. A man in his thirties who looked like a general glanced at the linen team outside the city, and without saying a word, he waved his hand to the hundred and ten soldiers under him, and ordered loudly: "Chase me!" ”
"Chase!" A hundred and ten soldiers shouted, their swords and spears unsheathed, and rushed out of the city gates, pouring out like a tidal wave, and their horses and hooves pursued closely.
The general's horse ran at the front, and as he pursued it, he shouted angrily, "Stop me, those who are ahead!" Otherwise, General Ben will be caught, and he will be killed! (To be continued.) )
