Chapter 66: Sikong Yu (Medium)
In the early morning, the sky was not yet bright, and there was still nearly an hour before leaving the city gate, Zhang Ergou stood on the trail of the city wall, leaned the weapon he had held in his hand for a night, stretched his waist greatly, took off the coat he was wearing, and threw it on the stone platform on the side.
"Two dogs, and lazy", a one-eyed middle-aged man walked up step by step from the steps inside.
"Meng team", Zhang Ergou saw the captain coming to check the post, hurriedly picked up the weapons on the side, and saluted.
"Okay, it's just the two of us in this film, let's play with you, is there any situation at night?" , Captain Meng found a place by the wall and sat down, knocking the cigarette pouch in his hand on the stone steps on the side.
"Just last night's rain, what can happen" Seeing that the captain sat down, Ergou also unceremoniously found a place that was not wet and sat cross-legged, and the two of them used this free time before dawn to chat about family life.
"Hey~Hey~~"
As they were talking, they heard another defender from patrol a hundred paces away, waving a torch in their direction while pointing out of the city.
"Is there a situation?" Captain Meng jumped up, lay on the side of the city wall, squinted his eyes and looked out of Cheng Cheng.
The trees in the distance outside the city cast large shadows on the plain in the faint light before dawn, and on the official road at the edge of the shadows, a string of lights flashed in the shadows of the trees.
"Eh, Ergou, come and see, what is that?"
At this time, Ergou also leaned over and looked in the direction of the light, watching a row of lights approaching the city gate at the same speed.
"It's a carriage! And there are a lot of them, so it should be which caravan has returned" Ergou judged from the perennial experience and the distance kept from the speed and the distance between the front and back of the light.
"No, it's not the caravan's car" Captain Meng immediately denied Ergou's judgment, "The caravan that comes at this time will never go through the main city gate, the caravan knows that the main city gate will not be opened easily before dawn, if it is waiting for dawn in front of the city gate, it will waste their time, the most important thing..."
"It turns out that this is the case, it is the stupidity of the subordinates, and today I learned more from the Meng team"
While the two were talking, the convoy had reached the city gate.
"Who is coming" Ergou shouted at the city, it is not far from opening the city gate at dawn, it is not worth opening the city gate for a convoy alone, if the other party has no special reason, he is ready to suggest that they change the door or wait for the dawn to open the door.
The leader of the convoy rode forward and held up a lantern on a long stick in the direction of the second dog.
"What does that mean?" Ergou also squinted his eyes and looked at the lantern carefully, and when he saw the words on the lantern held by the leader..."Oh my mother! Ergou suddenly took a few steps back as if he saw a ghost, and shouted at Captain Meng, "Team Meng, quickly order the city gate to be opened"
"Look at you bear-like" Captain Meng pushed the two dogs forward, pushed him back to the city wall, pointed to the bottom with a cigarette pouch and said, "Is there a ghost down here?" Can you still eat it? ”
"But... But... Meng Meng Meng team" Ergou's voice was a little frightened, trembling slightly.
Seeing him scared like this, Captain Meng couldn't help but suspect that the ghost below was really a ghost, and slapped him on the back with a palm, "Speak well"
Ergou swallowed and spit, looked at Captain Meng and said, "Here is Miss Six, Miss Sikong Mansion, Sikong Yu is back"
Just when he heard the words 'Miss Sikong Mansion Six', Captain Meng's outstretched hand trembled, and the cigarette pouch slipped from his hand and fell straight down the city wall.
