Chapter 099: City Gate

Cheng Ye, Xiao Yuyi, and Fu Zhi galloped all the way to Kyoto, and only lit a fire at night to rest for an hour, and still got up and rushed to Kyoto non-stop with snow and torches.

When the night was approaching, the Shunyi Gate with the lantern was already faintly in sight.

Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, took out a document from his chest and handed it to Xiao Yuyi:

"Go call the door!"

The look of surprise on Fu Zhi's face flashed, and he calmed down again, only to loosen the reins behind Cheng Ye, and the speed of the horse slowed down instantly.

Xiao Yuyi heard the order, but he was not ambiguous at all, raised his hand to take the paperwork and rode forward, and went like a gust of wind.

"Hey, open the door quickly, we're back from the second master of the Wei family, Wei Chengye, who sent Tu Xilu!"

Xiao Yuyi looked at the three-story city wall and was a little dazed, and instinctively wanted to say, "Your second master of the Wei family", and quickly reacted that this was the capital of Dachen Kingdom.

His father is a person of Dachen, and he should also be a citizen of Dachen, Xiao Yuyi hurriedly changed "you" to "we" very wisely before he could speak.

In the past few days, the situation in Beijing has changed, and the guard of the city gate is also loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

In the dead of night, a person and a horse drove directly under the city gate to attract the attention of the gatekeepers, hearing Xiao Yuyi's words, one of the guards who had already opened a bow and arrows aimed at the people under the city quietly retreated, and went to the city gate to pay homage to the young general on duty that night.

The young general took a few steps up to the city tower, carefully looked at the appearance of the people in the city, and confirmed that it was not Wei Chengye.

He turned his head and made a gesture, suggesting that the crossbowmen continue to aim at the men below the city, while he himself showed half his head on the wall and shouted:

"Below, Shunyi Gate is on duty tonight, Xiaoqi Qianshi, please ask Your Excellency to respect your name, why haven't you seen Lord Wei come with Your Excellency?"

Xiao Yuyi was a little stunned, yes, just a few steps away, the second master didn't have to send himself to call the door first.

I wanted to open my mouth to report my name, but I remembered that Jiang Yuyi was originally a general of the Huaiyuan Army, and he was ordered to run an espionage network in Tuxilu, so he couldn't report his real name at will.

"I'm not a big person, you don't know if the name is reported or something, Second Master Wei will be there right away, and he ordered me to call the door first."

Xiao Yuyi was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, and this reply was more like a child, and a few low laughter from the city wall came to her ears in the wind.

Xiao Yuyi glanced sideways at the city gate, and raised his voice and said:

"Open the door, I have paperwork."

There was silence on the city for a long time, and Xiao Yuyi thought that the city gate was about to be opened from the inside, so he drove his horse forward a few steps.

An eerie thud came from the walls overhead.

Xiao Yuyi looked up when she heard the sound, and saw that under the dim light of the lantern, a black thing slowly fell, almost touching the top of her head, and she had to hold on to the reins and take a few steps back.

"Noble forgiveness", the people on the city wall heard that she had Wei Chengye's document on her body, so they changed their words and called her a nobleman, and there was some flattery in their tone.

"The emperor has an order these days, and the city defense is very strict, since the nobles have the documents of Lord Wei in their hands, please put the documents in the basket, and the villains will naturally release them after the inspection."

Xiao Yuyi put the paperwork into the basket, and was a little annoyed in his heart, just a few steps late, he had to call the door a few steps in advance, the second master was really.

By the time the people in the city had finished inspecting and handing over the documents, Cheng Ye and Fu Zhi had already arrived at the city gate.

The vermilion lacquer gate opened a slight crack, and Cheng Ye rode into the city on horseback.

After walking in the city for a while, Cheng Ye turned around and smiled at Fu Zhi:

"Let's not go the same way, just don't cross here."

The Jingxi Hou Mansion and the Wei Mansion are both near the Imperial Palace, which is far away from the two mansions in the center of the city, so there are different reasons for parting ways here.

Fu Zhi just smiled, didn't say much, and immediately saluted Cheng Ye and Xiao Yuyi:

"Second Master Wei, Jiang ...... Girl, don't leave it at that night. ”

Seeing Fu Zhi's figure drowned in the dark and thick night with the sound of the horse, Xiao Yuyi said to Cheng Ye:

"Second master, it's better for you to let him call the door in advance."

Cheng Ye didn't answer, and took the documents returned from the city gate to Xiao Yuyi, and said with a sinking face:

"Follow this road to the east, and when you reach the Huangji Gate, find Guo Xiaoyi, tell him that Wei Chengye has returned to Kyoto, and the Tuxi Law Mutual Market has been completed, and let him pass the news to the emperor."

On the road not far away, the two husbands had just knocked on the ugly bang.

There was a faint sound of horses' hooves coming from the direction of Shunyi Gate, and after a while, it flew past the road in front of them.

Cheng Ye hid in the shadows behind the big tree, patted the green lion on the neck twice, and rode his horse far behind the man.

Seeing the color of the gate guard on the man's body, and figuring out where he dismounted, he saw that he had passed something to the gatehouse, and hurried back on his horse.

Cheng Ye sneered in the shadows under the low wall not far away.

When the man reached a distance of about twenty steps in front of him, Cheng Ye raised his arm sharply and swept forward a piece of gravel that he was holding in his hand.

The man was riding a horse at a gallop, and he had no idea that there would be such a catastrophe, and he was hit in the face by a stone and fell off his horse in pain.

Cheng Ye ignored the shouting and scolding behind him, and slapped his horse away.

*****************

The doors and windows of the warm pavilion of the dormitory were opened, and the cold wind blew up the bright yellow curtains to cover people's eyes from time to time, and he felt that there was a cough everywhere.

A bright yellow dragon robe appeared next to a wisp of veil in front of him, and Zhang Ping smiled and rushed forward.

"Your Majesty, let the villain find you!"

Lifting the veil but finding that there was no one, there was a cough sound from far and near in his ears, Zhang Ping followed the sound to find it, and the corner of the wall and the clothes box revealed a corner of the bright yellow dragon robe.

He opened it all the way, but he still couldn't find the emperor, and the coughing sound in his ears gradually increased, and the sound became louder, like a cannon explosion around him, so he couldn't help but cover his ears.

The moment he lowered his head, he found that there was also a bright yellow corner exposed under the bed, and Zhang Ping exclaimed happily:

"Your Majesty, you are here!"

He couldn't wait to get under the bed and fumbled his way, hooking his head just in time to see the face of the first emperor.

Because of the proximity, he could still feel the cold breath of the first emperor on his face, and Zhang Ping shouted:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The corners of the emperor's mouth were hooked, as if he was very pleased, and Zhang Ping also laughed.

At this time, the first emperor's closed eyes also opened, staring at Zhang Ping motionlessly, his smile seemed to be very deep, and it seemed to be very empty.

There was blood flowing from the corners of the emperor's mouth, and his eyes were still staring at Zhang Ping, opening wider and wider, until his eyeballs occupied half of his face, still staring at Zhang Ping tightly, still smiling at the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Ping screamed and crawled out of bed.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Someone shouted at him from behind.

A hand was on his shoulder, Zhang Ping wiped the cold sweat on his head and hurriedly turned back.

A clear cough sounded in his ears, and the face of the first emperor was close to Zhang Ping's eyes.

His eyes were still staring at Zhang Ping, opening wider and wider, until his eyeballs occupied half of his face, still staring at Zhang Ping tightly, and the corners of his bleeding mouth were still full of smiles.

"Grandpa, grandpa." There were still people shouting in their ears.
