In less than an hour, four whips and four gongs sounded on the street corner in front of the Governor's Palace in the north.

Take a closer look, it turned out to be two official sedan car teams, at the front of the team each had two whippers in the front of the team after a "avoidance", "pop papa" four whips, followed by the gong beater "bell bell bell" struck the gong four times, and then the two soldiers holding the word "avoidance" behind the gong player continued to shout "avoid", and then there was another whip gong.

When the two teams met at the street corner, the shouts of the two teams of "Hui ~ Shun ~" and "Hui ~ Shun ~" suddenly became higher, and the sound was also lengthened a lot, and the whips and gongs that followed suddenly became a lot louder, and the two teams suddenly increased their speed.

The people who heard the sound of whips and gongs at the nearby street corner, both officials and civilians, avoided and waited for the two teams to pass.

A child tugged at his father's sleeve at the corner of the street, "Daddy, why do we have to avoid the whip when we hear it?" The child tilted his head and stared at his father curiously. The man who was nearly thirty years old was slightly embarrassed, rubbed his hands embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "This, my father doesn't know the specifics, anyway, listening to the whip, it must be a big official on patrol." ”

"Four whips and four gongs, according to the rules of the imperial court, are the etiquette of the local officials of the imperial court. In Tongguan, the governor is five whips and five gongs, and these four should be the two generals of the expedition to the north and Ping. A young man in the crowd, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar and had not yet reached the crown, said to the man, and seemed to be lost in thought and whispered.

"Shouldn't they let them beat the gong, why do they have to squeeze it?" the boy asked again.

"They are equal in official positions, and no one should let anyone, who is willing to let them?" said the boy as if to the child, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Hey, this general of Zhengbei and General Pinglu are not in harmony with the entire Tongguan, they fight every day, and they pull each other's legs every time they fight......"

"What's the matter, listen to what you mean, if they don't fight, they can win the war with the Beiyu? The general of Tongguan is not just a Cheng Ye who can fight with the Beiyu, I heard that Cheng Ye led his troops out of the city today and beat the Beiyu to pieces, if you want me to say that the governor should be Cheng Ye. ”

"What you said is reasonable, all the officials in the Governor's Mansion are not as good as Cheng Ye's thumb. You say, isn't it, ah, hahaha."

"Hahaha" the crowd laughed.

"Don't let Cheng Ye be the governor, even if Cheng Ye is this general of the northern expedition to the north, General Pinglu, this northern captive can still hit our Tongguan here, our Tongguan is the north gate of the capital, let people hit the door, nest. ”

"That's it, wretch. ”

"You say, where do they seem to have come to fight, a general and two generals don't even dare to ride horses, they all sit in sedan chairs and carriages, what is the difference between this and ordinary officials. ”

"So they are nests, look at Cheng Ye, who doesn't recognize this jujube red horse, our Cheng Ye's mount?

"Drive, drive, drive, get out of the way, General Lin will drive, you can afford to delay the matter, don't go aside." A carriage broke away, and the groom cursed as he drove.

"Who is Lin Shenjiang?"

"Who knows, it's probably not a small official, otherwise a groom can be so arrogant?"

"Let's get out of the way. Then another carriage came out, and then another, and everyone avoided it.

"Okay, leave him alone, I don't know what's going on today, what are so many big officials doing. ”

"There's definitely something big going on. ”

"Could it be that the Beiyu people are calling?"

"Probably not, Tongguan, the iron-walled copper city, can they really beat it down?"

"Forget it, let's hurry home and get ready. There was a sense of depression in the crowd, and everyone ran back to their homes as if they had fled, ready to prepare their things.

In front of the Governor's Palace, the two generals of Zhengbei Pingyu arrived at the same time, "pressing the sedan chair" and "pressing the sedan chair".

"Yo, General Wu. ”

"General Lu, it's early. ”

"It's not too late for General Wu. ”

"Go, please. ”

"Please!" The two of them used their left and right hands to lead each other, and they looked at each other from a distance, but in fact, the speed of the two was not slow at all, and neither of them would fall behind anyone half a step.

After a while, there were official sedans and carriages arriving one after another.

In the main hall of the Governor's Palace, Li Desheng was anxiously pacing back and forth, "How long has it been, more than an hour, and it should be outside Tongguan City." These bastards, we must treat them in the future, it's too unusual!"
