Chapter 40: The Storm at the City Gate
"Stop, whatever. What's on the car? As they approached the gate, a shout came from the gate, and they saw a soldier in leather armor approaching them.
Seeing that he was a soldier, Zhao Hu hurriedly put down the cart pushing the grain, and hurriedly trotted towards the soldiers. "This soldier, I went into the city with the dog to sell food." As he spoke, Zhao Hu turned around and pointed at Zhao Fei, and Zhao Fei hurriedly saluted the soldier.
"There's nothing else but food." The soldier didn't even glance at Zhao Fei, bypassed Zhao Hu, and walked towards the car. Looking at the arrogant appearance of the soldiers, Zhao Fei was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it. There is no way, there is no money and no power, so you can really pretend to be a grandson.
"Of course not, nothing but food." Zhao Hu honestly followed behind the soldier and replied grovelingly.
The soldier glanced at Zhao Hu, then looked at the car, and said sharply: "If you say that you haven't installed anything, you really haven't installed anything, get it down, I want to check it." ”
The pedestrians at the city gate were no longer surprised by this, and there were no onlookers. At this time, Zhao Fei also saw something, it was nothing more than the bloody plot in the previous TV series, did he want to pick some thorns and collect some money. Zhao Fei wanted to calm things down, so he sent him some money to hurry up, but Zhao Fei didn't have a copper plate in hand.
Zhao Huren is too honest to figure out the inside story. When I heard the soldier say this, I was very anxious. grabbed the soldier's sleeve and hurriedly begged: "Master, the car is really only filled with food, and there is nothing else." ”
Hearing Zhao Hu say this, the soldier was stunned at first. Then he was angry, you are a man, you don't know the rules so much. Since you don't want to break the bank, then you can't blame me. shook off Zhao Hu's hand fiercely, "Huh! You thief, you don't dare to show me, there is really something hidden in it, someone will push me away from this car, I have to check it well. ”
Zhao Hu was thrown by the soldiers and stumbled and almost fell, but Zhao Fei hurriedly ran over to support Zhao Hu. "Dad, are you alright?" Before Zhao Hu could reply, he heard the soldier's shout, and Zhao Hu hurriedly got up and ran to the soldier's side. Hold the soldier here. "Master Jun, I'm just an ordinary person, I really haven't pretended to be anything unsightly. You can't take my car, our family is still counting on it to live. ”
Hearing Zhao Hu say this, the soldier couldn't help but be even more annoyed. "You thief still dare to say, if it weren't for the good mood of the military master, I would have taken you, the thief who tried to sneak into the city, you still dare to ask for a car, come and drive these two people away for me."
Hearing this, Zhao Fei was also furious, and if he couldn't pay bribes, he turned to robbery. Is this a soldier or a robber? Just as he was about to rush up, he heard a shout from behind.
"What are you shouting, what's going on?" Zhao Fei turned his head to look when he heard the sound and found a soldier in armor, who was very burly and tall. The expression is resolute and the eyes are sharp. "It should be an official!" This was Zhao Fei's first impression when he saw this person, and he wanted to ask Zhao Fei why he wanted to do the same, because this person was not holding a spear, but a sword hanging from his waist.
Hearing the shout, the soldier no longer had the arrogant look he had just now, and turned to a flattering face. Throwing off Zhao Hu, he hurriedly trotted over the man and ran over. "Back to Zhao Menling, I just found a suspicious person." said and pointed at Zhao Hu. "I just wanted to check his car, but this person was holding me back."
"Really? I'll take a look. After listening to the soldier, the saber soldier walked over Zhao Hu. The soldier with the sword is called Zhao Meng, and he is the gate order of this city gate, although the official is small, but he is also an official, isn't it. There are also more than a dozen soldiers under his hands. Originally, Zhao Meng didn't want to care about this idle matter, because this was also the rule, and a few boys knew to honor themselves after receiving it. At first, he still resented Zhao Hu for not understanding the rules. But just now, news came from above, saying that Master Zhang's carriage was going to come later, and tens of thousands of people prevented Master Zhang from entering the city. Who is Master Zhang, that is a figure that everyone in Zhending City knows. He is a big family in Zhending City, although it is nothing outside, but in this small Zhending City, he is definitely a unique character. In addition, Lord Taishou intends to marry the Zhang family, although Master Zhang has not agreed at present, but it has also increased the power of the Zhang family. Anyway, Zhao Meng knew that it was easier for people to clean themselves up than to pinch an ant to death. Therefore, seeing that things are getting bigger and bigger, and there is already congestion at the city gate, Zhao Meng has to come forward.
Looking at the saber soldiers walking towards him, Zhao Hu became more and more familiar the more he looked at it. After thinking about it carefully, he pointed at the soldier and suddenly said, "Are you Xiao Meng?" ”
Hearing someone call him, Zhao Meng was suddenly stunned. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he seemed to have some familiar feelings, but he didn't dare to recognize it, "You are?" ”
"I'm your Uncle Tiger, Uncle Tiger of Zhaojia Village. Is your father Zhao Cai, I often go to your house to help, I can't remember? Zhao Hu said with some excitement.
"Oh!" Zhao Meng suddenly realized, he didn't expect it to be him. Forget it, since you recognize it, it's not appropriate not to help. "It turned out to be Uncle Tiger, why didn't you say hello to me when you entered the city."
Seeing that the person who came was really Zhao Meng, Zhao Hu was very happy. And the soldiers who followed behind Zhao Meng couldn't help but shudder. bullied Zhao Hu, it can be seen that Zhao Hu is a countryman, and he must have no background, but now it is completely reversed. People actually know their top boss, and they seem to be Zhao Meng's elders.
"I came to the city to sell grain, and as you know, this year's harvest is good. So just exchange the surplus grain for some money to spend, and this happened before entering the city. Zhao Hu said honestly, although it was certain that the person who came was Zhao Meng, but the small people thought of the trouble, and when they met officials, even if they were acquaintances, they didn't dare to speak loudly.
Just as Zhao Hu was talking to Zhao Meng, Zhao Fei walked to Zhao Hu's side without thinking and looked at Zhao Meng. I saw that Zhao Meng was indeed worthy of the fierce word in his name, he was indeed very brave and had a strong physique. It doesn't look like it's as gentle as other soldiers, it should have some strength. The expression is a little honest, but it doesn't look like a person who destroys great evil. But he had a father like that. Is he really what he sees?
"Huh? Who are you? Zhao Meng looked at Zhao Fei and asked.
"This is my son Xiaofei." Zhao Hu pulled Zhao Fei over, pointed at Zhao Meng and said, "Come to Xiaofei, call Brother Meng." ”
"Brother Meng." Zhao Fei greeted Zhao Meng.
"I remember that you used to be sick, but I didn't expect you to be a lot stronger now." Zhao Meng patted Zhao Fei's shoulder and said.
Zhao Fei said modestly: "Thanks to Brother Yun's blessing, I have the opportunity to learn art under Master Tong Yuan for a period of time, so I can make progress." At the mention of Zhao Yun, Zhao Meng's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of gloom, but Zhao Fei didn't pay attention.
Seeing that the three of them were chatting so happily, the arrogant and domineering soldier just now was indeed trembling with his legs and his face was defeated. I wanted to see Zhao Hu being bullied and wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some money to spend, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Suddenly, Zhao Meng remembered his task and felt that he couldn't delay it, "Okay, Uncle Tiger, let's go to the city first, don't block it at the city gate." Before Zhao Meng finished speaking, he saw a team of people coming leisurely from a distance.
"It's broken, I'm afraid of something." Zhao Meng saw that the people and horses in the distance were secretly screaming, so he hurriedly turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind: "Come and a few people to step back this car first, and then quickly evacuate the pedestrians." After Zhao Meng shouted, the soldiers who originally seemed to have no strength quickly got busy, the cart of the cart, the evacuation of pedestrians. Completely lost the look he just had.
Zhao Fei looked at the distance in amazement, could it be that some kind of big official came, such a big battle. The knight in the distance slowly approached, and saw that the man on the horse was not wearing armor, but wearing a cloth coat. "It looks a bit like a housekeeper." Zhao Fei muttered to himself. Not far behind the group was an elaborate carriage. There was a flag on the carriage with a single character written in black letters on a white background. "I don't know who is sitting in the carriage, there is such a big pomp." Zhao Fei looked around and found that the people around him showed envious and jealous expressions.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, blowing up the curtains on the carriage, and suddenly a familiar figure came into front of Zhao Fei's eyes. "It's her." Zhao Fei's heart suddenly fluctuated.
