Chapter 67: Sikong Yu (II)
The two hurriedly ran to the steps of the city wall, and Captain Meng shouted at the city guards who were dozing off by the bolt of the city gate as he ran, "Open the door!" Open the gates quickly, this can not be delayed"
Several soldiers who slept soundly were all recruits who were assigned after the beginning of autumn last year, although the time was not long, but they still remembered the rules for opening the main gate of Yuancheng.
One of the young soldiers, who didn't look very old, yawned and stretched, and asked the two people who ran down the stairs, "Captain, Brother Zhang, what's going on?" Can you both be so nervous, it's not dawn yet, and now open the door? ”
Captain Meng, who is very strict with the training of soldiers, and Zhang Ergou, a veteran who can definitely be called a senior in the defenders of the city, always look serious on weekdays, and it is the first time to see the two of them show such a flustered appearance.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and open the door" Captain Meng said as he rushed into the winch room first, holding the winch handle with both hands, turning it vigorously, turning around twice and shouting outside the room, "What are you doing stupidly?" Hurry in and help."
A few soldiers reacted that something was really wrong, and they hurriedly ran over to help Captain Meng turn the winch, and under the joint efforts of several people, with the friction sound of the thick iron chain on the winch, the bolt of the other end of the chain was slowly hoisted, and the bolt was fixed to push open the city gate.
The heavy gate opened before my eyes, and the door cut through the stone slabs on the ground, and the part of the door hole that was not drenched by the rain was carried up with a puff of smoke.
Captain Meng ordered a group of soldiers to line up on both sides of the doorway, and he walked in the direction of the convoy, stopped in front of the horse of the man holding the lantern, and said, "Just now, it was really because it was raining and dark, and I didn't see the convoy of Miss Six clearly.
The leader nodded, beckoned to the rear, shook the reins in the horse's hand, and the horse felt the beating of the reins, and walked in the direction of the city gate, and the man on the horse did not say a word the whole time.
Several recruits saw this scene for the first time, and although they were full of curiosity, they didn't dare to ask the captain at the moment, so they had to whisper to each other as they bowed their heads and saluted.
"Eh, you see that man riding a horse, it's really magnificent, when can I have a horse of my own?"
"Just you? A janitor has no drama in his life."
"Tsk, in the end, it's a big family, this carriage is really luxurious"
"I heard Team Meng say that the sixth lady of Sikong Mansion? I don't know how this sixth miss compares to the fourth miss who came back a few days ago."
While chatting, some people couldn't resist their curiosity and secretly looked up, it doesn't matter if they don't look at it...
A golden carriage drove slowly in front of him, the whole body was very dazzling, the veils were flying at the window, a white hand caressed the window, and the vermilion nails pierced people's eyes in the early morning.
Sikong Yu in the carriage wanted to lift the curtain to breathe, but when he saw the stunned expressions of the recruits in the row below, he put down the veil, "Li'er"
"Yes" The maid who was called Li'er stopped the carriage willingly, got out of the car and walked to Captain Meng, who was doing it on the side, and handed over a brocade bag, "You military masters have worked hard, this is a little bit of my young lady's heart, please let the military masters get off work and drink to warm up."
Captain Meng said in his mouth, "I'm tired of the girl, we don't dare to ask for these, it's natural to open the door to the young lady, how can you get a reward"
"If you give it to you, you will take it, do you want to refuse Miss's kindness?"
Captain Meng didn't dare to say in his mouth, took the brocade bag and thanked him again in the direction of the carriage, but another thing stretched out in front of him, and he looked at it to see if this was not the cigarette pouch that he fell off the city wall?
"Next time, you have to hold it steady, don't even be able to hold the cigarette pouch anymore" After returning the cigarette pouch, Li'er left a string of smiles in front of Captain Meng's surprised expression and returned to the carriage, and the convoy started again, heading towards the city.
