There were fewer and fewer caravans in the direction of Yuzhou, and when they arrived in Yingchuan, they found that some ordinary farmers were closing their doors for fear of persecution.

Cheng Liu sat on the carriage and asked helplessly: "You said, we passed by the gate of Runan, don't you come down to take a look?" ”

Yu Youkui suddenly replied angrily: "I'm going home to see this time, and I'm not out to do things, why should I deliberately stop and delay time?" ”

Is this a waste of time? Isn't it spy intelligence and are familiar with the situation in Yuzhou?

However, these words are just thinking about it, and the closer to Yingchuan County, the more ugly Yu Youkui's face becomes.

Because since passing through Runan, when I entered the territory of Yingchuan County, I found that the most chaotic place in Yuzhou was not Runan, but Yingchuan.

This is not only something that Cheng Liu didn't expect, but even Yu Jukui didn't think of.

"It's about an hour away, so you'd better be prepared."

Cheng Liu leaned on the carriage and reminded him softly.

Yu Youkui didn't answer, gently lifted the curtain, and looked into the distance.

As one of the eight counties in Yuzhou, Yingchuan County is the place with the most resources after Beijing, including manpower, material resources and even transportation are extremely developed.

Of course, the more important point is that it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the transportation hub and geographical location are all battlegrounds!

Surrounded by mountains, it is still a mountain road, and Yu Youkui stretched his neck and only saw the lush green trees, but did not see a single figure, so he had to retract into the carriage.

"It's too quiet."

Cheng Liu nodded slightly: "It is this quiet atmosphere that makes people shudder." ”

At this time, it is only a few miles away from Yangzhai County, and it is just a mountain road, so it will take an hour to detour, but it should have been possible to see caravans and resource-gathering armies or farmers returning from hunting.

But now the road is quiet, not only passers-by can't see it, but there is not even the sound of birds.

The coachman shouted ahead, "It's coming soon, hold on!" ”

The two carriages galloped away quickly, and since Gu Guan changed horses, they had been driving the road in front, so they should be waiting for them at this time.

The carriage stopped again, and the cacophony of voices around them finally pulled the two back to reality.

On the huge city tower, the word Yang Zhai hangs high, and at this time you can finally see a living person here.

Gu Guan rode over and said: "There are several forces in the city, the people of the county guard were arranged by you before, I wanted to enter the city just now, but I was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, saying that they wanted to enter the city. ”

Cheng Liu frowned slightly, got out of the carriage directly, and walked towards the entrance of the city.

There are many soldiers defending the city, and it seems that they have strengthened their precautions, and it is not known whether they are worried about the infiltration of external forces, or the forces in the city do not want people to know their purpose.

Cheng Liu walked to the city gate regardless of it, and was stopped on the spot.

"Who's coming? Do you have an official document to enter the city? If not, just go aside! ”

There was a long line of people entering the city, and some people did not have official documents in their hands, and before they could get close, they were poked back with spears by the defenders of the city.

No wonder I didn't see a few caravans along the way, and now it's so troublesome to enter the city, this official document can only be bought for money except for the issuance of the imperial court.

But what can be spent is not broken silver, but the official silver of snowflakes.

With such a high price, some caravans naturally can't afford it, so they temporarily retreated, and running merchants in troubled times is naturally a dog's life, but money does not fall from the sky.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Liu asked, "Are you county guards in the mansion?" ”

The soldier guarding the city seemed to be tired of hearing this, and shouted impatiently: "Here! Do you still want to say that you have an old acquaintance with him, and you have promised your kindness before, and this time you are just here to catch up with him? ”

"Or maybe you have a very good relationship and came to him from out of town?"

Yu Youkui and Gu Guan stood on the side, speechless for a while.

And Cheng Liu opened his mouth, isn't this the sophistication of people in that era? Can it be used in this day and age?

"Actually, we really know each other, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to ......"

The defender rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry for you to turn your head and take a look, such a long line, we have to check every official document carefully, the manpower of the chief registration has not stopped, who will be sent? It can't be me, right? Then you will review this official document that entered the city? ”

Cheng Liu rubbed his temples, this person must be a strong mouth, just listening to this speed of speech is not comparable to his bronze......

Yu Youkui suddenly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know Yan Rubing?" ”

The soldier defending the city finally turned his head and looked at the veiled woman who had been standing behind Cheng Liu.

He had noticed it before, but the other party was wearing a veil, and although this kind of woman was generally in good shape, her face was generally not delicate enough, so he automatically ignored it.

At this time, just listening to the sound, it seemed to be a beautiful billet, and she immediately changed her smiling face.

"She's also in the county guard's mansion, but now it's supposed to be on a lunch break......"

"Let her get out."

The soldiers defending the city looked stunned, this Yan Rubing was not an ordinary woman.

When the county guard of Yingchuan County went to Yangzhou for some reason, Yang Zhai was in chaos, and he didn't know where to fight the woman who killed the Quartet directly, and those old Qiu family members originally wanted to fight to the death, but the next day they found that half of them were hanged on the city gate, and the other half were eaten by dogs on the street, which was miserable!

There is no such person in the key states and counties, but it is known that this person is ruthless and like a beast.

Many heroes were secretly accumulating momentum and soldiers, and when they saw this person, they felt cold on their backs, and they just got out of bed after three days of drunkenness, and their legs trembled and they couldn't stand steadily.

In less than half a month, Yang Zhai's heroes from all walks of life have reorganized their soldiers and horses, shouting the slogan of 'swearing to defend Yang Zhai', which has been passed down to this day.

And this soldier defending the city, who was originally the old department of the Qiu family, although his life was saved, he was also sent to do this kind of thankless work.

Yu Youkui saw that the person in front of him seemed to faint, and kicked it over.

"Deaf?"

The man immediately shouted into the city, "Release!" ”

Crunch crunch......

It had been half an hour since the carriage entered the city, and when there was no movement in the city, the young man, who was not very old but had been tanned, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Ergou, are you scared like this?"

Wang Ergou was the soldier guarding the city just now, and replied with palpitations at this time: "You don't understand, on this woman's body, I seem to see Yan Rubing's shadow......"

"You don't want to die? Although Yan Rubing does not have an official position, she ......! ”
