Chapter Twenty-Eight: Miss Anya
Zuo Feng frowned and stared at the crooked-mouthed soldier who suddenly appeared, his cunning and greed could be seen from his appearance, and his outfit should also belong to the rank of vice captain.
Is it trying to find trouble, and then ask for some benefits? Thinking like this in his heart, Zuo Feng stood quietly in place, and motioned to Zuo Hou Shen Die and the others beside him with his eyes not to move.
This ugly-looking "villain" is really called 'Crooked Mouth', and I don't know if his name is like this, or if his companions have given him such an apt nickname.
With a crooked smile, he walked over to the captain, leaned over and whispered. From time to time between speaking, he peeked and pointed at the people in Zuojia Village, and sometimes let out a few strange laughter like ducks.
"Brother, where have we been?" a sweet voice sounded on Zuo Feng's side.
A familiar voice immediately interrupted his thoughts, turned around and showed a smile, and said, "Sister, we are at the gate of Yancheng, you can go back and sleep for a while." ”
"Don't sleep, when did you come. A bunch of bad guys came last night, but then it was fireworks and archery that drove the bad guys away. ”
Zuo Feng smiled helplessly after hearing this, his sister was still childish, and last night was so thrilling in her mouth like a child fighting.
"Listen, our captain only said the general rules for entering the city. There are so many of you, so naturally you have to pay more. ”
Zuo Feng was attracted by the sound of speaking, and saw that the speaker was the soldier named "Crooked Mouth". The third elder hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said respectfully, "I don't know how much more fees we people have to pay?"
"Ten gold coins will be charged for mules, horses and livestock of more than 50 people, and five gold coins for more than 100 people, and the package shall be opened for inspection. ”
As soon as the crooked voice fell, there was immediately a voice of shock and dissatisfaction in the crowd. This rule was obviously too harsh, and a team of fifty people could not carry a salute without mules and horses. More than 100 people need ten gold coins, you must know that they normally only need to pay fifteen copper coins per person, and all of them together are only ** silver coins.
Zuo Feng's brows furrowed deeply, "The fees for entering the city are outrageously high, and they have to open the packages and check them one by one, which is obviously humiliating. He wanted to force everyone to leave, or he wanted everyone to be satisfied if they clashed with the soldiers here. The sinister intentions of this person are by no means as simple as just making it difficult for everyone to scrape more oil and water. Seeing that some of the young people in the village were becoming more and more angry, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger. The crooked-mouthed soldier saw this scene and hid aside and secretly laughed, and his heart moved, and Zuo Feng said loudly.
"Fifth Elder, it's better for us to retreat the team for a while, and then negotiate with them slowly, so as not to be able to enter the city for the time being and obstruct the order of the city gate. ”
Zuo Feng's voice was not loud, but these people in the village immediately fell silent, and most people knew that it was Zuo Feng who helped them tide over the difficult situation last night. So now although everyone doesn't understand his words, no one questions them.
"Pretending, I really thought that after the battle last night, I would become the village chief. ”
Fujikata's discordant voice came from a long distance away. Zuo Feng directly ignored this person's words, and turned to the Fifth Elder to show an inquiring look.
The Fifth Elder thought about it for a moment, then sighed lightly and said, "For now, it can only be done temporarily, let's retreat some and give way to the city gate." ”
"Since you are not going to enter the city, do not stay in the Yancheng Plain. ”
Seeing that his purpose had not succeeded, the crooked mouth first glared at Zuo Feng in the crowd, and then immediately opened his mouth and said loudly. His words disgusted the other soldiers, which was obviously a bit of a bully, but because of his identity and background, he didn't dare to do more.
At this moment, the people of Zuojia Village were really angry, if they were allowed to withdraw from the plain outside Yancheng. Those bandits will attack their own people at any time, and it is no different from sending their own necks to the enemy's sword.
Seeing the crooked mouth that was even more crooked at this time, the anger in Zuo Feng's heart ignited. The people of the surrounding villages were also thrown into torches like fire oil, and the soldiers also raised their weapons one after another, and the sabre-rattling conflict was about to break out.
Now even if Zuo Feng wants to calm everyone down, he can no longer control this situation.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. What kind of system does it become to block the city gates here? The eldest lady is going out of the city to hunt, hurry up and get out of the way, are you city guards all dead? ”
A shout rang out abruptly inside the city gates, followed by a dense sound of horses' hooves to drown out the uproar. Zuo Feng saw that the crooked mouth's face became extremely ugly at this moment, and knew that this might be their turning point, so he immediately said in a loud voice.
"Everyone, be quiet. ”
didn't wait for Zuo Feng to speak again, and the crooked mouth spoke first.
"Didn't you hear, the eldest lady is going out of the city. You idlers, wait, don't hurry up and get out of the city gate, get out of here, get out of here. ”
"What do these people do, what do you people do? ”
A woman's voice sounded inside the city gates, and the words that followed were clearly addressed to the city guards. At the sound of her voice, a tall snow-white horse slowly walked out of the city. Immediately sat a beautiful woman dressed in a magnificent coat, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The high temples are combed on the top of his head, and his round face is matched with the fair skin, like an egg that has been peeled off. A pair of big eyes are as clear as a deep pool, and a vermilion mouth under the upright little nose is very delicate. The pale yellow Dayu is dressed in a samurai power suit, showing her slightly plump figure, and there is a kind of heroic beauty.
Seeing this woman, all the soldiers bowed and saluted, and the leader of the soldiers did not forget to glare at the "crooked mouth" fiercely at this time.
Only then did he speak: "These people are people from Zuojia Village in the Tianping Mountain Range, and they want to enter the city here. ”
The crooked face changed several times, but he still rushed to say: "They can't pay for the entrance to the city, and we are about to drive them away." ”
"Oh, that's right. Then what are you still pestering here, just drive them away happily, can't you do this little thing? ”
When the beautiful woman heard the crooked words, she said casually with some impatience.
Zuo Feng knew that everyone wanted to enter the city and it would fall on this woman, so how could he take care of the five elders who were already a little stunned at this time, and immediately spoke.
"This eldest lady, it's not like we can't afford to go into town. However, the soldier said that more than 10 people with mules, horses, and livestock were charged 10 gold coins, and more than 100 people were charged 5 gold coins, and that they had to open their bags for inspection. We had never heard of such a rule in Yancheng before, so we stayed here. ”
Zuo Feng pointed to the crooked mouth as he spoke, although his voice was not too loud, but the people on both sides listened softly.
"Oh, that's true. Could it be that there are new regulations in Yancheng, and I, the daughter of the city lord, don't know about it yet, which is a strange thing. ”
The beautiful girl seemed to be joking, but her expression gradually became cold.
The crooked face turned red and white, and he glared at Zuo Feng viciously, and then replied with some embarrassment.
"Miss, I think there are too many people in this group, I'm afraid it's not good for Yancheng. That's why I ......."
"Hmph, you are a little deputy captain of the city guard, you dare to set the rules without authorization, it seems that you want to be the city lord of this wild goose city. ”
Hearing the words of the eldest lady, she knelt down with her crooked mouth and weak legs. He knows the temper of this eldest lady, and if he is not good, he is afraid that he will be severely punished.
"Great, great, finally someone can deal with this wicked man. ”
A sweet voice sounded behind Zuo Feng, and it was Zuo Tiantian, Zuo Feng's sister, who spoke.
The woman who was called the eldest lady looked curiously at the left wind. When he saw a small head peeking out from behind Zuo Feng, his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and he rolled off his horse and walked quickly towards Zuo Feng.
He said to himself: "What a beautiful little girl, come on, let my sister take a closer look." ”
This strange scene made everyone stand on the spot, only the entourage who followed the eldest lady showed no surprise.
"Sister, you are also very beautiful, and you are so kind and have a sense of justice, those wicked people are afraid of you. ”
Zuo Tiantian was not afraid of life at all, raised his little hand and pointed at the crooked mouth in the distance, and said with a smile on his small teeth.
This sentence suddenly made the girl's entourage grin and twitch in unison, obviously extremely disapproving of Zuo Tiantian's words.
The scene in front of him made everyone, including Zuo Feng, feel very weird. A beautiful girl dressed noblely, regardless of her manners, held a little girl in her arms, pressed and pinched her face, and finally couldn't help but kiss her left and right cheeks fiercely.
Zuo Fengyou was also a little overwhelmed at this time, and said with a slight dry cough on the side.
"I wonder if this one, ahem, Miss, can we go into the city. ”
"Uh-huh, let's go through the formalities and go into the city. ”
Although he said this, he had no intention of letting go of Zuo Tiantian at all.
At this moment, the discordant voice sounded again, and it was transmitted from afar, "Miss, such a large group of people ......"
"You bastard even dare to speak up to me, you hurt such a smart and beautiful little girl, standing under this poisonous sun for so long. Uncle Tian hung this hateful fellow from the city gate, and hung me for three days and three nights. ”
This beautiful girl is very beautiful, and her voice is very beautiful. But as soon as these words came out, not only did the crooked mouth sit on the ground in fright, but even the people in Zuojia Village were a little hairy when they heard it.
"The eldest lady really has clear rewards and punishments, which makes people have to admire, and dare to ask how to call the eldest lady. ”
Fuji Fang slowly walked out of the team of Zuojia Village at this moment, bowed forward and saluted.
Just after the appearance of this eldest lady, Fujikata's gaze never pulled out again, and it was not until this moment that he finally found a chance to speak. Fujikata's appearance can be regarded as handsome and extraordinary, but the eldest lady just glanced at him casually and said impatiently.
"What are you, why do I tell you my name?"
Fujikata's face turned red, and he couldn't tell if he was ashamed or something else. But his cheek was really first-class, and he said without anger: "Below is this Zuojia Village, the head of the Young Regiment." My name. ”
"What a young regiment, but also the head of the regiment. Your name, Miss Ben, is not interested, don't bother me here, Rory. ”
