0386: Peel back the cocoon

"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable......" Huo Qingyuan was so angry that he couldn't do it.

Xiao Chen watched coldly for a while, he guessed that Huo Qingyuan seemed to have another purpose, but at this time, taking a hot bath and eating a rich and delicious meal was the right thing.

Therefore, Xiao Chen took out a wad of imperial coins and threw them on the small table with a bang.

"Okay, I'll pay the money, Lord Huo, let's go into the city......"

"No, you can't pay this money, the prestige of the court officials cannot be affected...... Huo Qingyuan said busily.

"No, you can't enter, hehe, in view of your bad attitude, the lord decided to punish you, if you want to enter the city, you will pay at least three times the entrance fee, and also, your dead cat and dead dog will also have to pay the entrance fee, all three times ......"

When the toll soldier saw Xiao Chen surrender to his majesty, his arrogance suddenly exploded.

Seeing the arrogance of the toll soldiers, Xiao Chen suddenly understood something, he looked around, now, they were in front of the city gate, there were some people around, but they couldn't see anything wrong with those people.

Xiao Chen originally wanted to break the fortune and avoid disasters and end this meaningless argument.

For Xiao Chen, reasoning with a soldier with a low status is not detrimental to his identity, but meaningless, if he wants to find trouble, he can directly find his boss or the lord of Tieguan City.

Just like fighting against the enemy, hitting the enemy's vital point, be quick and accurate, be ruthless, be sure to achieve a fatal blow, and do the same thing, if you want to counterattack, attack the enemy's head, and the battle will be decided.

This little soldier is obviously a veteran oilman, and he is also cannon fodder thrown by others, and it is useless to argue with it.

Xiao Chen saw that Huo Qingyuan reacted a little faster, he seemed to have already seen that something was wrong, and arguing here may have a deeper meaning.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen subconsciously looked at the communication device on his wrist and couldn't help but smile.

Some time ago, Xiao Chen was always framed and blamed, so he habitually turned on the recording function of the communication instrument, the military communication instrument is good, it can record what you see and hear for a month, the memory is not enough, just clean up the useless images at the end of the month.

Therefore, Xiao Chen and Huo Qing originally went to the city and were stopped by the charging soldiers and recorded all the troubled experiences, and this video alone can make this soldier die without a place to be buried.

Regardless of Huo Qingyuan's argument with the toll soldier, Xiao Chen thought that Tieguan City was so deserted, it was not unreasonable, he could see that this toll soldier was indeed making things difficult for them, but it was also true that Tieguan City was heavy on city fees.

Huo Qingyuan is also a good person, under his temptation, on the grounds that the charging soldiers have no right to increase the cost, step by step he heard that the city gate fee is the iron law set by the city lord, and the toll collector is the city lord's brother-in-law, this is the brother-in-law's world, and he has the final say on what rules he wants.

Compared to Huo Qingyuan, who wanted to figure out who was targeting him and making things difficult for him, Xiao Chen thought more far-reaching, Tieguan City was behind the border city, it was the second line of defense on the western frontier of the empire, and its geographical location was extremely important.

But this city lord acted perversely, causing the people in the city to complain, but no one in the court took care of it, and this phenomenon aroused Xiao Chen's suspicions.

As the so-called not in his position, not in his politics, Xiao Chen was suspicious and thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, amused by his conspiratorial theory speculation.

However, Tieguan City was full of strangeness, Xiao Chen didn't want to stay here longer, after thinking about it again, he pulled Huo Qingyuan, and said with a smile: "Someone invites you to eat, someone invites you to shop, Lord Huo, students invite you into the city......"

Xiao Chen said playfully, Huo Qingyuan was stunned, he felt the force from Xiao Chen's hand, laughed, and said, "Okay, I can't talk to this little soldier, let's go......"

Xiao Chen threw down a few stacks of banknotes and strode over with the fat cat in his arms.

There was a rampant laughter from the charging soldiers, and he said something loudly and proudly, and the contempt for Xiao Chen and Huo Qingyuan came from afar.

After entering the city, there is an open space, and a large area is left behind the city wall to facilitate the transportation of troops and reduce the damage caused by the siege, because there is no war in a hundred years, and many suspended vehicles are parked here.

There were fewer people around, and Huo Qingyuan whispered, "Young Master Xiao, what did you find?" ”

"What did I find? Hehe, it should be said that Master Huo found something, right? Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"I know what Xiao Gongzi knows." Huo Qingyuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, I only know that Lord Huo is not a person with a small amount of energy, since the adult has changed his style and argues with the little soldiers, no matter how stupid I am, I know that the adult must have some purpose."

"Observe subtlely, not bad, yes, I still have a layer of identity, and I have the responsibility to report when I hear the news, seeing this injustice, of course I have to figure it out." Huo Qingyuan said.

"Imperial History? So what did the adults figure out? Xiao Chen asked.

"The lord of Tieguan City, Niu Zhihu, a specialist jinshi, and the Qing Officials Division was the lord of Tieguan City seven years ago, it stands to reason that this person's ability and means are good, but he has made Tieguan City angry and resentful, you look at the civilian merchants at the gate of the city, dare to be angry and dare not speak......"

"It's really weird." Xiao Chen nodded.

"What's even more outrageous is that he, a little city lord, dares to make things difficult for me, a Beijing official, can he really be the emperor of the soil?" Huo Qingyuan snorted coldly.

"Something is wrong here, let's get out of here." Xiao Chen thought of something and hurriedly said.

"I'm afraid it's not easy...... Huo Qingyuan suddenly pulled Xiao Chen down and quietly pointed to the street in front of him, where there were rows of luxury vehicles parked, and there were guards and guards walking around.

"It should be the distinguished guest that the lord of Tieguan City said is inspecting here." Xiao Chen clenched his fists, pressed his restless heart, and said quietly.

"There is a sign of Qingwangfu on ......the front of the car," Huo Qingyuan said, pointing to a small flag in front of the car.

"Qingwangfu?" Xiao Chen muttered to himself, thoughtful.

"King Qing is the thirteenth son of Gaozu, and when he was fourteen years old, he was named King Qing, and the fief was Eucalyptus City, by the way, Eucalyptus City is in the east of Feiteng City." Huo Qingyuan said like an endorsement.

"The thirteenth son of Gaozu? There are three generations of separation from the current emperor, right? No matter how close you are, you won't have much power, right? Xiao Chen pulled Huo Qingyuan to the side and said.

"Yes, the land of the west has always been a big trouble for the empire, every dynasty must have a big man sitting here, this generation is the royal brother King Kang, the current emperor only has two brothers, King Kang can be said to be the emperor's most trusted person."

"What kind of small action does this King Qing want to make, he shouldn't dare to be so blatant, right?" Xiao Chen said curiously.

"However, half a month ago, the emperor summoned King Kang to Beijing to accompany him in the west, and the land in the west was like a tiger without it."

"So, a fake tiger that has been oppressed for decades is starting to move." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"This is very disrespectful, but Qingwangfu is indeed very active during this time......" Huo Qingyuan reminded Xiao Chen with a smile.

"So, before people go out of the mountain, try the reaction of the center with you, the Beijing official, if the emperor doesn't react...... It's horrible. Xiao Chen pouted and said.

"If the West can support the dead of a level 30 summoner, King Qing is counted as one." Huo Qingyuan smiled lightly.

"Lao Huo, you can't pull me into the water like this, people have long wanted to kill me." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Now, I, the foreign minister, is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others, and killing it is like killing an ant, but you are different, you now have a holy body, which is the best talisman."

Huo Qingyuan said with a smile, and humbly accepted Xiao Chen's call for him Lao Huo, from this title, the relationship between the two is one step closer.

"Even if there is a holy body, it is easy for people to kill me......" Xiao Chen looked at Huo Qingyuan and said with a smile, he wanted to hear what else Huo Qing could do.

"You underestimate the identity of the prince's companion, in addition, my communication device uses the official network, which has the function of real-time recording, so if you borrow a hundred of their guts, they will not dare to blatantly rob you and me."

"In this way, in front of the public, we can still shake the majesty, right?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"You really should tremble, I know that you have always disliked to suffer losses, you just lost tens of thousands of imperial coins, and if you don't want to come back a thousand times, it's not your character."

"Hehe, you underestimate me too much, how can a thousand times be enough?" Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and meet this strange Tieguan City Lord, as well as the scheming Qingwangfu people......"

"Order...... Haha, Xia Guan is now the only companion to read the adult's horse. Huo Qingyuan also smiled.

A pair of old foxes stripped the ins and outs of the matter in a few words, relying on the convenience of the imperial policy, and swaggered away with no one in their eyes.

On the commercial street, the lord of Tieguan City and Zhu Gui of Qingwangfu sat in a private room drinking tea and chatting, and when they heard the report, the two glanced at each other and stood up laughing together.
