Chapter 204: Tolls

The carriage had been driving for five days, and Chu Bing's waist was about to break, and he finally saw the walls of the capital.

Along the way, the three brothers who left home didn't know which tendon was wrong, they kept making trouble, they were fighting as soon as they opened their mouths, and sometimes they could move their hands, Chu Bing was caught in the middle, and he was really about to be tortured by them and go crazy!

So when I see the capital now, I will be so surprised that I almost cry with my head in my arms.

Li Yuxi jumped down from the carriage lightly, stood beside Chu Bing, and sighed with a face full of sighs, "When I left Beijing, I was still a young master who left home, but this time I came back, it turned out to be a different person." ”

Chu Bing raised his eyes to look at him and sneered, "Come on, don't be in the midst of blessings and not knowing blessings!" ”

Even if Prime Minister Li doesn't care much about this son, he definitely doesn't mean to disown him, obviously he has to make trouble outside!

If she has a father who is a prime minister, she doesn't do anything every day, just wait for her father to succeed in his rebellion and become a princess herself!

Li Yuxi glanced at Chu Bing casually, without any comment on her words, but pillowed his hands behind his head and walked slowly towards the city.

"Wait!"

Chu Bing hurriedly followed.

They carefully hid their bodies along the way, and they didn't even dare to go on the official road, so they entered the city...... Not afraid of being recognized?

Li Yuxi and Li Haoran also followed, and the four of them hurried to the city gate, and they were stopped by someone.

"Wait, who are you, what about your papers?"

The guard at the gate pointed his sword at them and asked.

This document refers to something similar to an ID card.

Chu Bing was flustered, and subconsciously hid behind Li Yuxi, she didn't have a letter! When she first crossed over, her original body was still in a mass grave, and she was covered in clothes.

"We came back from outside......"

Li Haoran was about to open his mouth to explain, who knew that the soldier at the head glanced at him, and his expression was particularly impatient, "I don't care where you came back from!" ”

"No discs are allowed in!"

Li Haoran's face became gloomy.

He was about to take out a paper disc and throw it on the soldier's face, when suddenly a group of old peasants lined up behind him, I don't know if they didn't stand firm or for other reasons, they fell to the ground.

They all carry a burden on their shoulders, and at this time there are things inside

It's all spilled, and it's a mess.

"What are you doing?" Seeing this, the soldiers immediately turned their heads and rushed towards the group of old peasants.

They were mostly old, their faces were full of ravines, and when their eyes caught a glimpse of the sword, they immediately panicked, and shrank together in fright, looking very pitiful.

"My lord, my lord, we are just going into the city to sell some food, and we will leave immediately."

"Spare your life...... Spare your life, my lord! ”

They huddled together, holding their heads.

A soldier kicked on them, "Dirty! What smell do you have, wash it before you go into town! ”

The old farmer was kicked to the ground, and the old man was in tears.

Chu Bing subconsciously raised his legs and prepared to go over.

These soldiers are just too much!

Liyu Xi grabbed her wrist.

"Wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Chu Bing gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger.

Waiting, these soldiers don't know what to be arrogant about!

Li Yuxi's palm was like an iron tong dragging Chu Bing to death, and his tone was cold, "This is the capital, if you come forward rashly, maybe someone will report your matter to the imperial court tomorrow...... Or do you want to be famous in this way? ”

Chu Bing stiffened.

She clenched her hands into fists, and the foot she was about to step out of it retracted.

She is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect herself, where is she qualified to take care of others?

Chu Bing rigidly restrained the impulse in his heart, and turned his head away from looking at those old farmers.

Probably because someone watched, those soldiers became more and more intense, and punched and kicked at the old peasants.

Those old people cried bitterly when they were beaten, and they could only hold their heads and beg for mercy.

"Phew, that's bad luck!"

The old man's cry made the soldiers' attitude worse and worse, they were probably tired, withdrew their feet, looked at the old man with bad intentions, and said, "We want to enter the city today?" How to calculate the toll? ”

"What tolls?" Several old people were stunned, obviously not expecting to say that there was such a thing as a toll.

"You rural people want to go to the city, how much trouble will it cause us? Can't you pay a little silver to my brother as a hardship fee? ”

Because of the movement here, many people who wanted to enter the city approached and surrounded them.

Heard at this time

The word toll was discussed by almost everyone.

"When is the toll?"

"What tolls, it depends on the mood of these gatekeepers, they are in a bad mood, we have to give money, and they have the final say on how much to give!"

……

Chu Bing took a deep breath, pushed away Li Yuxi, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't bear it anymore!" ”

These people are obviously looking for fault, if she doesn't make a move, these old people don't know what they will be bullied into!

Seeing her firm, Li Yuxi knew that she couldn't stop her, so she hooked her lips helplessly, "Forget it, do whatever you want." ”

Anyway, if something happens, he will always carry it for her.

Chu Bing didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he shook off his hand and squeezed into the crowd.

The two soldiers had already started to rummage through the clothes of a few old peasants, who knew that they only found a few dry food cakes, and they were immediately furious and kicked them in the heart, "What a poor ghost, I don't have money to enter any city!" ”

The old farmer cried and said, "The fields have been sluggish all these years, and if it weren't for the fact that our family really can't do it, we wouldn't have sent the subsistence vegetables to the city to sell!" ”

They themselves are dying of hunger! Where is the surplus to sell?

The old farmer thought of his sick little grandson at home, and hugged the vegetable basket and wept bitterly.

Many people in the crowd were related and wanted to go up to say a few words for him, but when they saw the long knives on the waists of the soldiers, they were stunned and did not dare to step forward.

"I don't care about you, I can't live, if you want to enter the city, you have to pay the toll!"

The two soldiers spat on the old farmer, and suddenly kicked him on the vegetable basket, "Get out if you don't have any money!" ”

"I think it's you guys who should get out!" Chu said coldly.

Everyone was stunned, and the two soldiers looked at the crowd, and the crowd automatically dispersed, making way for a way, revealing Chu Bing's exquisite face.

The two soldiers looked at Chu Bing suspiciously, recognized Chu Bing as the person who wanted to enter the city just now, and immediately sneered, "What? Are you still planning to see uneven roads? ”

One of them pointed at Chu Bing with the hilt of his sword, looked at her with strange eyes, and said with a wicked smile, "It's very good-looking, just with your face, the master will let you give less money!" ”

"Hmph, whose master are you!" Chu Bing gritted his teeth and kicked him in the chest!
