It's night, four watches, outside the Zhengyang Gate.

The honor guard of the emperor went out on patrol, the carriages and horses were linked, the flags were waved, and the mighty all the way to the south.

At the same time, no one noticed that outside the Xuan'an Gate, the two black-clothed men spurred their horses and also went all the way south, heading straight to Shuzhou City.

The man in black is not someone else, it is Tang Shu and Liu Yun, the palace guard. The two traveled day and night, slept in the open air, and ran to the gate of Shuzhou, which was the fourth watch three days later.

Seeing that the city gate was closed from afar, the two men exchanged glances, then jumped off their horses, dropped their horses, and went into the woods beside them, and when they reappeared, they were already dressed as refugees in tattered clothes and gray faces.

As soon as the fifth watch arrived, the city gate was slowly opened, and two guards stood in front of the door, one of them was tightening his belt, and the other was stretching his waist and yawning profusely.

Tang Zhe and Liu Yun, who had been standing by the city gate, stepped forward at this time and prepared to enter the city.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by a yawning guard: "What about you! What the hell! Don't you know if the refugees won't let them in! ”

Tang Shu frowned slightly. Liu Yun was on the side, took out the customs clearance documents prepared in advance, and handed them to the guards.

Who knew that the guard didn't look at the document, but only glanced up and down at the two of them, and said, "Diao Min, you don't need to look at it to know that the document is fake!" ”

"It's like a fake!" Liu Yun said.

"Ha! It's like a fake! Another "tight pants" guard stepped forward, glanced at Liu Yun's hand, was stunned for a moment, and touched the "yawning" one with his elbow.

The two of them looked at the paper together, swept Tang Shu up and down, then glanced at each other, walked to the side and muttered something.

After a long while, the two stepped forward and shouted while pushing Tang Shu and the others out: "Hurry up, hurry up, I said that refugees are not allowed to enter the city." ”

"We have the paperwork." Tang Shu still stood there with his head held high, and said loudly.

Where did the guard hear half a word, he still made a bombardment posture, and said: "Don't look at your dress, you will be bombed out when you enter the city, and then treat us for the crime of poor supervision, hurry up, go away!" ”

Liu Yun wanted to step forward to theorize, but was pulled by Tang Shu. Liu Yun had no choice but to give up, and the two stepped aside for the time being.

The sky is getting brighter, and outside the city gate, I don't know where to gather pedestrians, all of them are ragged refugees, looking at the direction of the city gate from a distance.

Even though it was the depths of winter, not only wearing patched thin clothes and rotten clothes, but also coughing, skin sores and other diseases were mixed in with the crowd.

Tang Shu was on the side, looking at these refugees with a heavy face.

But I saw them all sticking out their heads to look around, and their empty eyes seemed to be expecting something.

For a long time, there was no movement inside the city gate.

Someone in the crowd began to sigh: "Hey! I've been here for three days in a row, and I'm afraid I won't come today. Ay! ”

At this moment, a carriage inside the city gate drove towards the gate, and everyone shouted forward! It was not until the carriage showed no signs of stopping, and the coachman whipped away, that everyone realized that it was not the man they were waiting for.

Despair is written in the empty eyes of the refugees.

Someone in the crowd began to sob: "Poor my sister, if you don't stutter anymore, you ............"

Tang Shu and Liu Yun seemed to know what they were waiting for, and they also looked inside the city gate together!
