In the last time the war was crucial to the war situation, the royal Chen family even did not hesitate to dispatch 50,000 troops stationed in Checheng to Zhao Ling, and asked him to secretly dispatch this army to the Weiku Plain overnight to ambush the 50,000 troops who had left the country at the beginning. And even so, the imperial Chen family still refused to dispatch 40,000 elite troops stationed in the four county towns around the capital of the imperial Chen family. If compared to each other, the garrisons in the city are not as elite as the garrisons in these four counties.

Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, attached great importance to the garrisons in these four county towns, and he even did not hesitate to dispatch his four closest personal guard commanders to be stationed in these four county towns. Moreover, even now in this period when the people are resting, the imperial Chen family has begun to reduce part of the old and weak army. The garrisons in these four counties have not been transferred in the slightest. Moreover, these four county towns are also implemented in some ways, and the army runs through every corner of the city, and the people living here have become accustomed to this feeling. Every moment, these four counties are filled with an invisible pressure that is about to break out at any time. For ordinary people, at least one person in each of their families can change into equipment at any time and become a citizen who can go up to the city tower to defend. Therefore, although there are only 10,000 garrisons in these four county seats, there are still nearly 5,000 troops that can be transformed into militia groups at any time. These four county towns were like iron buckets guarding the outer edge of the imperial Chen family's capital Checheng, using their most powerful blocking ability to block any enemy who tried to enter Checheng.

Among them, the county seat closest to leaving the country is a county seat that can be reached after passing through Hao County and continuing eastward for 200 miles. The county seat is called Luoshu County. It has a population of more than 20,000 people in 500 households, but the permanent army in this county is also 10,000, and this army is strictly garrisoned here by Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, and Xia Chengjie, one of the four major guards of the current King Che. Because once you cross this Luoshu County, you only need to go through less than 100 miles to directly reach this ancient capital that represents the former and royal Chen family, and the largest city in the country. Of course, there are still thousands of the most elite garrisons in the city, and this army was once a dead soldier trained by the royal Chen family alone, and it can be said that it is an army that has been tempered after the most severe tests. After the Chen family of the royal family actually became independent, these thousands of the most elite troops became the "Imperial Forest Army" guarding the palace in the city.

It's just that now Xia Chengjie, the governor of Luoshu County, has heard a very shocking news, the war in the south is in the most critical link, and they don't need to care too much about the situation in front of them now. After all, at this time in front of them, the departure party had just ceased war with them, so even if the army was reduced, there was no need to worry about any foreign enemy going deep into the hinterland of their royal family, the Chen family, to attack. Xia Chengjie is a general who loves to nurse the soldiers and take care of the people, and at this time he will naturally make the most considerate decision for the people. He naturally appropriately reduced the soldiers' daily duty and training time, and at the same time began to relax the work and rest requirements of the people in this Luoshu County, so that the people would live more comfortably.

In the evening, because it was now a season that was about to enter winter, Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, specially ordered all parts of the country to start curfew early, and close the city gates in a faster practice, so that the people could go home and rest as soon as possible.

At this moment, on the city tower of Luoshu County, Xia Chengjie pressed the sword in his hand with one hand and silently stared at the situation below the city tower in Luoshu County. He was followed by six of the most pro-Swiss guards, and by this time the soldiers on the castle tower had retreated to the garrison's camp and began to enjoy dinner. There are only a thousand people left patrolling the castle tower. The weak period of daily patrols on the city is probably only this time. Xia Chengjie was patrolling around the various buildings in Luoshu County, for fear that there would be some unknown accidents at this time.

Not long after, Xia Chengjie suddenly saw three figures in the distance walking quickly from the environment shrouded in the moonlight, which made him feel a little surprised. Although he couldn't see clearly who these three people were now because of his surroundings, a gut told him that these three people were definitely not very simple.

The three people who came over with their backs to the starry sky were none other than Kong Hong, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who had come all the way east from the western border town of the imperial Chen family and the grain storage place of the army in front of them three days ago. After three days of rapid progress, they now had to slow down their pace and start moving slowly, and the approaching Luoshu County was the first obstacle they encountered. From the beginning of the onion, the population became dense, the business became prosperous, and everywhere you could see was a prosperous scene. From then on, it was also a place where the population lived intensively, and it was unrealistic for them to even want to speed up.

The purpose of the three of them rushing to Luoshu County today is also very clear, Kong Hong can learn some crucial inside information in advance because of his identity. It is said that Chen Xuan, the head of the royal Chen family, has now made a crucial decision, every winter time to have an early curfew, that is, the time to close the city gate an hour earlier in disguise. But for Kong Hong, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, this matter has already affected their time to enter the city. Originally, the city gate was closed at the beginning of the first shift, but now it has advanced to the last time of the unitary time, and it is obvious that they are too late to enter the city before they can arrive now. Looking at the closed black city gate in front of them, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan couldn't help but sigh secretly when they came to Xiamen, they heard the news halfway through. I hurried all the way to Luoshu County, but I didn't expect that it was still a little late. The eyes of the two brothers and sisters couldn't help but glance at Kong Hong, who was still standing in front of them, and Feng Yuchong asked, "Sister Kong Hong, do we want to find an inn outside the city to stay?" Now that the city gate is closed, it seems that we can only choose to enter the city tomorrow morning. ”

The two brothers and sisters are very observant, and after coming to this Luoshu County, they found that this place is not much different from Weicheng, the capital of the country, and there are not only villages outside the city, but also common people's villages and inns along the street, which is a scene that is difficult to see on the ordinary official road. Therefore, Feng Yuchong thought so, complaining about the inn here is also a more convenient choice, and he is not in a hurry to enter the city tomorrow morning.

Kong Hong did not answer the questions of the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan. Instead, she silently swept every place on the castle tower with her beautiful eyes, and then her gaze rested on a man dressed as a general wearing armor and a sword in one hand, followed by six guards.

Kong Hong turned around, "You don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own way to let this Luoshu County open the city gate." ”

This sentence made Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan two siblings a little surprised, although they already knew Kong Hong's true identity, but even a noble person like her, she couldn't just do nonsense, right? But after getting along for a few days, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan's two siblings also know this Kong Hong's character and ability very well, and she will never talk big. So, the two brothers and sisters didn't ask any more, but stood where they were, watching how Kong Hong could now open the gate of Luoshu County, the extremely critical county seat in the strategic area in front of him.

Kong Hong smiled slightly, then took two steps forward, and shouted loudly towards the general-like figure she found on the city tower: "General Xia!

Xia Chengjie was patrolling the city tower, and he was in a calm mood when he suddenly heard two delicate shouts from far outside the city. Xia Chengjie's body shook slightly, he felt that this voice was very familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who it was. So, Xia Chengjie hurriedly turned around, pressed his hands against the city wall, and was thinking quickly in his mind about who the owner of this voice was. Kong Hong had already seen the changes in Xia Chengjie's figure and movements, she couldn't help but smile, and shouted again: "Uncle Chengjie, do you remember me?"

As soon as this title was said, Xia Chengjie's gaze in front of him suddenly froze in place, and his originally surprised expression suddenly turned into a burst of ecstasy. "Hong'er, is it really you? When did you leave the city?"

Kong Hong smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth pursed a knowing smile, "I'll explain this matter to you later." Uncle Cheng Jie, can you make an exception to open the city gate and let me rest for a night. You can't bear to see me sleeping on the streets outside of the city, can you?"

Kong Hong's words were naturally said casually, there are inns outside the city, and no matter how they are, they will not fall into the situation where they need to sleep on the streets overnight. But Xia Chengjie on the city tower did not hesitate at all, he directly shouted loudly: "Okay, Hong'er, you wait for me, I will come down and open the city gate for you immediately!"

Kong Hong proudly looked back at the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and looked at the surprise on their faces that they were trying to hide. Kong Hong explained with a smile: "The guard of this Luoshu County is named Xia Chengjie, one of the four personal guard commanders under King Che, he was originally the head of our Kong family, and he has had a very good relationship with me since he was a child, and every time I escaped from home, I relied on his help." Then, he was favored by King Che to become a personal guard, and he worked hard step by step to get to where he is now, and I am also married, although they are not far away, but they usually have no chance to meet at all. Even when I left the city and passed through this Luoshu County, I did not want to visit him, for fear of being left behind. It's just that now, it's really a helpless move."
