196 Turmoil at the City Gate
On the last day of the high yang month, there was already a smell of summer in the air, and on the streets of the snow-filled city, whether it was the vendors and pawns who came and went, or the rich merchants and nobles who were loitering, they had already changed into cool summer clothes, and even the city guards patrolling around the city had removed their shirts from their armor.

You know, this kind of shirt under the armor is different from the shirt we wear now, but a very thick cotton coat, its purpose is to increase the cushion of damage, strengthen the soldier's defense, and the second is to keep warm.
In the summer, this kind of shirt becomes very embarrassing, wearing a shirt, it will indeed increase the survival ability of soldiers on the battlefield, but on the other hand, it will increase the death rate of soldiers in disguise.
The former is easy to explain, as for the latter...... If you wear cotton clothes in summer and do high-intensity exercise, the chance of heat stroke is close to 100%, and if you suffer from heat stroke on the battlefield, even if you are not killed by the enemy, you will be trampled to death by the comrades who follow you!
It's just that as a city guard who only needs to deal with ruffians every day, it makes no difference if there is no defense ability, and he does it with the city guards in the city? Do you think you've lived too long?
It's just that after a few days of heating up, the northern skyline is a large area of dark clouds that are happily gathered, and a cool breeze blowing from the north makes everyone's spirits shake, and they have to go out of the room to enjoy the coolness, and even tonight's market seems to be much more crowded.
At the city gate, two city guards, an old man and a young man, were hiding in the shadows of the city gate cave to enjoy the coolness.
The old city guard had a piece of grass stalk in his mouth, and he casually checked every process, chatting with the juniors around him from time to time, chatting and chatting, and talked about some strange things that had happened recently: "Hey, boy, did the group of knights who went on yesterday evening see it?" ”
"Of course, uncle, I'm not blind, how can I not even see so many people, uncle, that female knight who takes the lead is so good-looking!"
The young city guard pouted helplessly, and after checking the contents of a carriage, he put it into the city, and was about to check the next wagon, but he received a slap on the back of the head.
"It's not blind! Last year...... Ahem, when who came back, didn't Lao Tzu let you go to see the atlas of those snowy big people?! ”
The more the veteran talked, the more angry he became, and he slapped the soldier again, and the soldier held his mouth and quibbled: "Uncle, you can't remember, you still talk about me!" “
"I ......" The old soldier opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it, the original incident should have been a scene he remembered very deeply, but somehow, he couldn't remember the appearance of the big man recently, and even the name of the big man was forgotten, whenever the scene at that time sounded, the image of the big man would be obscured by a fog, and he couldn't remember it at all.
The veteran had also gone home to look for the map of the big man in Xueman, but the strange thing was that in his memory, the page that belonged to the big man also strangely became blank, while the front and back pages were still the portraits of the other two big men as usual.
"It's weird and weird."
The veteran muttered, and no longer dwelled on the subject, and was about to check on the next pedestrian when he suddenly heard a sound of neat footsteps.
Looking up, it was a group of soldiers in steel armor who were lining up in a neat line, quickly passing the civilians in line one by one, and rushing towards the city gate.
Elite!
A word flashed in the veteran's heart, and even the young soldiers around him nervously rushed to the side of the alarm bell.
The young soldier may not be able to judge the strength of a soldier from his spirit, but he also has his own cleverness, just think that the kind of soldier in front of him, wearing a full set of steel armor, marching in a neat line, and not showing a trace of sweat on his head, is definitely not something that they can compete with as a city guard, at least it is also elite, and depending on their size, it is possible to be a group of ace troops!
The little soldier rushed to the front of the alarm bell in a few arrow steps, and picked up the copper hammer on the side with a copy of his hand, and when he was about to ring the alarm bell, he felt a pain in the back of his head, and a light hand in his hand, but when his uncle snatched the copper hammer in his hand, he also gave himself a slap by the way.
"Uncle ......"
Looking at his uncle's expression, the young soldier suddenly understood, just like last year, he made a mistake again, and he almost got into trouble again!
"Let you see the atlas! Let you recognize the emblem! You just don't look! You just don't recognize it! Sooner or later, one day you will be sent to the execution ground for offending a big shot! “
The veteran scolded the little soldier a few words, then changed to a flattering smile and turned to the group of soldiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, this is my nephew, I don't have much eyesight, and I ask you to bear more." “
"Oh, your nephew~"
With the emphasis of yin and yang, a captain-like warrior with a wolf's head painted on his chest stepped out, took off his helmet, and revealed a young face, which seemed to be a few years younger than the young soldier before him.
"This military master ......"
The veteran's lips trembled, although his strength was not high, but his eyesight was not to say, in this entire team, only this person has a wolf's head painted on his chest, and he must be the person in charge of this army......
But without waiting for the veteran to argue, the soldier interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile: "I remember, we Xue Manling, there is a law of joint sitting, right?" “
"Even sit ......" The veteran's face turned blue, he didn't know if there was such a thing as sitting in Xueman's law, but what he knew was that if the big man in front of him wanted to fix himself, he would definitely not live for three days!
His face changed a few times, and the veteran knelt down in front of the soldier with a thud: "Ask the military master to raise his noble hand and spare the lives of our uncle and nephew!" “
This kneeling made the soldier stunned, but after feeling the murderous eyes coming from behind, a spirit came to his senses and hurriedly rushed up to support the veteran's shoulder: "Oops! Hurry up, hurry up! I'm just kidding! “
However, the old man cried even more fiercely, if the soldier hadn't held his shoulders with both hands, the old soldier would have kowtowed to the soldier and begged to be spared.
In the hearts of veterans, now it is a public place, these big people naturally have to pay attention to a little public influence, and today's performance must be a hypocrisy that they have to show, once the turmoil of this incident dissipates, then their uncle and nephew will ......
Seeing that the veteran looked overly frightened, he had been standing behind the soldier, and the ranger who was regarded by the veteran as a scout in the army had to stand up, forcibly helped the veteran up, and showed a wry smile:
"Soldier, do you remember me?"
