Chapter 206: Accident in the City
Gu Yuesheng took the little green snake, rode on the horse prepared for her by Lu Jiqing, and headed towards the border.
Gu Yuesheng once calculated that with her current foot strength, it should take about three or five days to reach the border smoothly. No delays along the way, that's all that matters.
However, Gu Yuesheng is also smart, she has always been on the path of letters! Run with the horses who deliver the letters, so that you can find the most suitable and fast way by knowing the route.
In order not to attract the attention of others, she gave up the entourage that Lu Jiqing prepared for her, and directly chose to go alone! However, I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that she has always been a little strange along the way.
Sure enough, she stopped in front of a city as she followed the messenger.
For she saw that not far ahead, the gates of the city, unlike the others, were full of people. That's right, here, there are a lot of people who are blocked, and the city gate is full of people, and you can tell at a glance that something should be happening in the city......
Otherwise, how could there be such an inspection at the city gate?
Sure enough, when the messenger entered, the soldiers at the city gate did not stop them, and anyone else who wanted to enter had to check their identity. Seeing such a scene, Gu Yuesheng couldn't help frowning.
Without a messenger to lead the way, she basically didn't know the way, and if she wanted to find a new way, it would be delayed. Moreover, this city is also the only way to go, if she doesn't go, she won't be able to go to her uncle!
In this way, she had no choice but to go!
Leading the horse, she began to line up at the city gates. I secretly looked ahead, and realized that it was because of a big event in the city!
The son of the city lord was killed, and the city lord sealed the city in order to picket the murderer, so he ...... The city in front of you must be searched as it enters and exits. And in order to save trouble, the soldiers directly did not allow anyone other than the people in the city to enter!
When Gu Yuesheng heard such an approximation, she hesitated for a long time.
If she continued to line up like this, it wouldn't be long before she would be chased away by the soldiers. In that case, even if she wanted to go into the city, there would be no way......
As she stood in line, she wondered what it would take to get into the city and get out of it safely with the messenger......
As she walked a few steps forward, she suddenly saw someone arguing with the soldier in front of her, and then she saw the soldier escorting the man into the city. He kept scolding and scolding in his mouth: "You bastard, you are so bold, I locked you up and made you suffer, you will understand!" ”
Hearing the soldier's words that he was going to lock him up, Gu Yuesheng's eyes lit up, and then he thought of an idea.
I saw her hit the horse's ass hard, and then she shouted, "Oops, oops!! My Horse !! With that, she ran after the loose horse.
Such a sudden situation immediately attracted the attention of those soldiers at the city gate. Seeing that it was the horses going crazy, they didn't have much of a reaction, but...... When they saw that it was the horse that was about to break into the city, they turned pale with fright.
As they took their weapons and prepared to deal with the horse, they saw a woman in a green coat jump out from behind and sit on the horse's back. She waved her hand anxiously and said loudly, "Wait! Don't hurt it! With that, she quickly took hold of the horse and stopped it.
All the way to the gates of the city, she stopped. She looked at the soldiers at the city gate and said, "Big brothers, I'm sorry, my horse is suddenly disobedient. Luckily, it didn't hurt anyone. ”
When the soldiers saw this horse, they saw at a glance that this horse was a good horse! From this, it can be seen that the owner of this horse should be either rich or expensive.
"Out of the way!" The soldiers spoke, they looked at Gu Yuesheng and smiled and said, "I don't know where Miss is from?" Why do you want to go into the city? So saying, he told her about the death of the lord's son, and then said apologetically: "But I'm sorry, this city is now only in and out." If you go in, you'll have to stay there for a few days. ”
Gu Yuesheng was silent for a while, and then spoke: "You are sealing the city like this, so how can those messengers send the letters?" I'm afraid I won't be delayed by you? ”
Seeing that Gu Yuesheng was approachable, the soldier smiled and said, "Those messengers have certificates, and their tokens can go into the city to meet the city lord." When you see the lord of the city, you can go out of the city. ”
After speaking, he was afraid that Gu Yuesheng would not understand, so he continued: "However, if you take the token and enter the city, it will only take one day to solve it in the past, but now it seems that the city lord will more or less let the messenger stay for a few more days." ”
Listening to what the soldier said, Gu Yuesheng nodded, then looked at the soldier and said, "This big brother, I really have an urgent matter to enter the city, please let me in." ”
The soldier saw that she spoke politely, and she had a temperament that was different from those rich young masters' families on weekdays, so he couldn't help but nodded: "Okay!" Go in! But...... If you get out of town, we won't be able to help you! You've got to think about it. ”
Gu Yuesheng pretended to be relaxed, smiled, and then said, "It's okay!" I'm not looking for you! ”
The soldiers nodded, then moved out of the way and let her in.
Gu Yuesheng dismounted, led the horse and thanked him and went to the door!
When I entered the city, as the soldiers said, the whole city was as quiet as a prison, and there were many fewer people coming and going in the streets. Seeing Gu Yuesheng enter the city, those people smiled one after another, as if they were all laughing at her that she shouldn't go into the city.
However, Gu Yuesheng didn't have time to care about them, all she had to do now was to find the messenger!
In order for her to be able to find the messenger, she decided to find a place to stay first. So, she found an inn to stay in.
When she entered the door, the boss looked at her with wide eyes, and then said, "Girl, are you going to stay in a hotel?" That's a ...... Since the city lord ordered the city gate to be closed, no one has come in for a long time! After speaking, he turned around and shouted at Xiao Er: "Come on, come on!" Take this girl upstairs! Live in the sky! ”
After speaking, he smiled, then looked at Gu Yuesheng and said, "Don't worry, girl, I won't charge you too much silver!" ”
Gu Yuesheng smiled, seeing him so happy, so she took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to him: "Then it's troublesome!" After saying that, she followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
The shopkeeper is also a person who can't stop talking, looking at Gu Yuesheng and getting energetic, watching her start to talk to Gu Yuesheng about the wind and rain in the city.
It turns out that the murder in this city is also a very interesting love story!
