Chapter 81: Curiosity
Yuzhong City, the sunset curls, set off the sunset more and more with the beauty of the sunset, the sky is gray, a team of cavalry rushed from the north gate, running on the main street on a rampage, pedestrians have retreated to both sides, a panicked look, there are people scolding, venting complaints and dissatisfaction.
"Damn, who is so arrogant?! actually galloping in this elm city, it's really tired and crooked! ”
"Damn, go find the patrol team, these people really ate the guts of the bear's heart and leopard, just a few days ago I beheaded a few lawless soldiers, and they still dare to go on a rampage on the street like this, and it's the other way around, can't you find death?!"
Gradually, the panicked crowd began to calm down, and at this time, near evening, when the people of the city were taking a walk in the shade, the streets were most crowded with pedestrians, and they saw the cavalry still on horseback, and these pedestrians seemed to have some kind of dependence, and surrounded them, without the slightest fear.
In such a situation, the cavalry who was galloping had to slow down, slammed on the iron ring with both feet, and even grabbed the reins, and shouted: "Phew~!" ”
There was a burst of neighing of horses, and the horses' hooves kicked twice in the air, and then they fell heavily to the ground, and the cavalry squad suddenly stopped.
At the same time, a dissatisfied shout rang out from the crowd that forced the cavalry to stop: "Which unit are you from?" Whose subordinates? Don't you know that according to the regulations of Leader Li, you can't ride a horse in the city without an urgent military situation. If someone dies, will you be able to bear it? ”
At this moment, the man at the front of the cavalry squad took off his helmet and drank one of his men, not allowing him to verbally alter with the pedestrians: "To be honest, the townsfolk are right, all dismount, lead the horses, and walk back on foot." ”
"But, boss, we still have ......"
The people around were stunned, they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw what they were fighting, this face in front of them couldn't be more familiar, it was Li Zicheng, the leader of Li who they had repeatedly mentioned in their mouths!
No one thought that the person he stopped was actually the head of Yuzhong County, the person who brought happiness to himself, when he thought of this, he couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, and shouted with self-blame: "Leader Li, we didn't know it was you, and I hope you don't mind." ”
At this moment, Li Zicheng dragged the helmet with one hand and said with a smile: "Fellow, what do you have to mind about this, it's just a little matter of the sesame mung bean official." What's more, you're doing the right thing, and you should be doing it. ”
After a pause, the tone changed, and he continued in a slightly joking tone: "If there is a next time, folks, you can still stop me like this." Not only me, but also other squad leaders. However, it's okay to stop our Li Jiajun, if one day, you can't recklessly stop the official army, or the ranks of other rebel troops! ”
As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded on the periphery of the crowd, shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Get out of the way, the whole street is almost blocked by you, the traffic is paralyzed, how can people walk? ”
Immediately, I saw a patrol team of twelve people appear, and the person who shouted was the team leader who was in charge of leading the team, and he was still squeezing towards the center of the crowd, which was the direction of Li Zicheng and the others, to see what was going on.
The noisy scene, the dim light, the patrol team Zhang didn't seem to notice Li Zicheng's existence, let alone know that the culprit who caused this traffic jam was actually the supreme commander, the absolute king of Yuzhong County.
Finally, the patrol team leader squeezed into the crowd, less than three meters away from Li Zicheng and the others, looked around, and kept shouting: "Don't stand here, disperse quickly, it's just a team of cavalry, what's there to see?!" It's time to go home, it's time to hurry, don't stand here and stand in the way. ”
However, the crowded crowd was unmoved, which made the patrol team leader suddenly feel a little angry, very uncomfortable, and had a feeling of being slapped in the face and losing face. ”
This voice was very majestic, and as soon as the words ended, the crowded crowd suddenly moved and retreated. Between walks, there is an orderly order. Seeing this situation, the patrol team leader was even more angry, and he was angry, and his words were not useful to any passer-by, so he stepped forward to interrogate.
At this time, a member of the patrol team was extremely clever, his eyes passed through the crowd, through the dim light, he saw clearly the person who spoke, his face was suddenly shocked, and when he saw the captain's interrogation posture like stepping forward to find fault, his heart was tight, and he secretly exclaimed: "Not good~!" ”
The clever patrol member didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly caught up with the patrol team leader, grabbed the patrol team leader, and without waiting for the team leader to speak, he whispered in a low voice: "Captain, don't be impulsive, calm down, it's the boss, Li Zicheng is the leader of Li." ”
Hearing this, the patrol squad leader was a spirit, the nameless fire in his chest was stagnant, and he calmed down a lot, and blinked his eyes vigorously, trying to look at it, trying to see it clearly.
As soon as he saw that it was really Li Zicheng, the momentum on his body was retracted, and he disappeared, turning into a very respectful look, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, and did not forget to say: "Boss, I didn't expect it to be you, why did you come back so early?" Why did you see the county magistrate coming back with you? ”
The crowd dispersed, the main street became empty, and the pedestrians, as if conscious, reached some kind of tacit consensus and walked along the sides of the road. No matter how slow the pace of progress is, no matter how crowded the sides are, no one walks in the middle of the main street.
Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng was no longer in the mood to be polite with the patrol team leader, so he casually dealt with it: "Li County's order is behind, and then it's time to enter the city, so I won't stay." Otherwise, the villagers would not have taken the main street. ”
"Yes, yes, boss, you are good to go~!"
After answering, the patrol team leader waved his hand to signal the others to disperse and retreat to both sides of the main street to make way for Li Zicheng and the others.
At this moment, Li Zicheng's action as he was about to get on the horse suddenly froze, he looked straight at the two people behind the patrol team, and stopped the patrol team leader: "Hey, what's the matter with that person?" He was wearing tatters, how did you arrest him? ”
Faced with the question, the patrol team leader was shocked, and doubts arose in his heart: "No, I didn't arrest anyone today, why did the boss say that?" ”
Although he thought like this in his heart, the team leader still didn't dare to hesitate, looked in the direction of Li Zicheng's finger, and after seeing it clearly, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he quickly explained: "Boss, it's like this, that person is not a prisoner, but a beggar who fainted on the side of the road." No, don't we have a rule? Beggars who sleep on the streets, or refugees who have been displaced here, are given a certain allowance if they have some surplus of food. So, when we were ready to patrol, we moved them to refugee shelters. ”
As he spoke, Li Zicheng moved, handed the helmet and reins in his hand to a soldier, and walked towards the beggar who was being held up. I don't know why, Li Zicheng has an inexplicable emotion in his heart that drives him, he is very curious about the beggar, and keeps getting closer.
After approaching and seeing the beggar clearly, Li Zichang sighed and said to himself, "No, this person shouldn't be a beggar." Although the clothes were tattered, they were not the sloppy of the beggars. Dressed in a strong outfit, unkempt, it looks more like he came out of a mountain. Especially with a turban on his head, he is dressed more like a poor scholar. ”
At this time, the patrol squad leader followed closely, heard Li Zicheng's self-talk, and said in agreement: "Boss, my brothers and I on patrol also think the same way. Although this man was dirty, his clothes were very expensive, and his clothes were more like they were torn by branches and rocks, unlike beggars, who were worn for a certain time and worn out. ”
Li Zicheng nodded, stroked his chin, and when he observed, he showed a thoughtful look, and he became even more curious about the unconscious beggar in front of him.
He has dark skin, an angular face, and a resolute look between his eyebrows. Although he is in his forties, his body is extraordinarily tough, and he does not look like a beggar who wants to commit crimes at all, and he does not have that disgusting lazy temperament.
For a while, Li Zicheng seemed to have forgotten everything, forgot the important things on his body, only this beggar in his eyes, his heart was full of curiosity, he looked at this "beggar" carefully and seriously, sighed lightly again, and asked: "Hey~ Have those backpacks on his body been carried on him all the time?" ”
"Yes, Boss!"
The patrol team leader immediately replied, only paused for a moment, and added: "Moreover, when I found this person, in order to confirm his identity, I opened that baggage. However, it was full of clothes, some things into the mountains, and we didn't find any other useful information, which is why we also felt that this person should not be a beggar, maybe there was some reason for the disaster. ”
Li Zicheng nodded noncommittally, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, Song Yingxing is still waiting for me." ”
Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng didn't stay, I don't know which nerve was wrong, and suddenly said something like this: "Don't patrol yet, now send this person to Yamen, where I live." And, get him a doctor, and wake him up first. ”
"Okay, boss, I'll do it!" The patrol squad leader agreed, and left with the two of them, carrying the beggar behind Li Zicheng.
While speaking, Li Zicheng had already put on his helmet, flicked the reins, and shouted: "Drive~!" Then he rode away, and the other cavalry followed closely behind, galloping on horseback.
