Chapter 34: Fengcheng
Jingbei Prefecture, the second largest city Fengcheng.
A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe with a long sword hanging from his waist slowly approached the gate of Beicheng.
"Stop!"
The soldier holding Changmao placed Changmao in front of the middle-aged scribe, pointed at the middle-aged scribe with one hand and said, "You, lead the way." ”
"Lu Yin?"
The middle-aged scribe frowned slightly, all the way south, he didn't see the road guide, but when he arrived at the first city in Jingbei Prefecture, he used the road to enter the city, it seems that something really happened to the four states of Yannan.
"Look at what, hurry up and take the road out, or ......" The ten pawns looked at the middle-aged scribe with bad intentions, and if the middle-aged scribe paid attention, he could see the greed flashing in his eyes at this moment.
"That guy is going to be out of luck. ”
"yes. ”
"Alas...... These people are taking those outsiders, and this month, I have seen seven people taken by them under various names. ”
"Shh
"Old man Guo, I don't want to die yet, you whisper to me. ”
"That's it, old man Guo, don't hurt everyone. ”
......
Seeing that the middle-aged scribe was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, the people of Fengcheng talked about it, which shows that this kind of situation has long been common, but no one dares to take care of it.
"I didn't have the way. ”
The middle-aged scribe's face was calm, as if the matter in front of him was not a big deal, and he was so calm that the soldiers at the city gate were a little jealous.
In addition, the middle-aged man is dressed as a scribe, so he may have some status, otherwise who dares not to lead the way when he enters and exits Fengcheng.
It's just that the attitude of the middle-aged scribe makes them feel disliked, this city gate is their territory, whether they can enter the city or not is up to them, you are a scholar, even if you have a little fame, I still don't believe that I can't clean you up a scholar who doesn't listen to anything outside the window.
"No, huh!"
The soldier waved his hand at his companion, and suddenly several foot guards of the city rushed up and surrounded the middle-aged scribe, pointing their spears at the middle-aged scribe, "I suspect that you are a spy of the Yin Heaven Dynasty, arrest him for me!"
Scold!
The middle-aged scribe chuckled, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly, "I don't have a guide, but I ......"
I paused, and suddenly I exerted a force under my feet, and suddenly my face was in front of the commander of the soldiers at the city gate, and I took out a bronze token, and the front of the token was engraved with a big letter: Liu!
There are a few small words on the lower left, which are even more dazzling in the eyes of the Wu Commander: Zhennan Military Government Order.
The people of the Zhennan General's Mansion, my God, I was embarrassed by the people of the Zhennan General's Mansion, but he also slandered him as a spy of the enemy country.
Wu Chang only felt that his legs were weak, knelt down uncontrollably, and begged for mercy at the middle-aged scribe tremblingly: "...... Shangguan Rao... Spare your life, the little one won't dare anymore. ”
"Don't dare?"
A cold voice came out of the mouth of the middle-aged scribe, and he looked at all the soldiers at the city gate, "After the task of defending the city is over, you will consciously go to your city lord to receive the punishment, don't let me speak, otherwise I will ......"
Saying this, the long sword on his waist was suddenly pulled out, and a cold light crossed between everyone, and then the spears that were held in the hands of the guards of the city and pointed at the middle-aged scribe were cut off one after another and fell to the ground, and the voice of the middle-aged scribe also came to the ears of the guards guarding the city, "This is your fate." ”
The guards of the city looked at the spear in their hands in amazement, trembling, their faces were full of horror, and they were speechless, and the captain was even more trembling, almost not being so frightened that he peed his pants.
By the time people reacted, the middle-aged scribe had already returned his sword to the sheath.
"True Yuan Realm ......"
Some of the spectators in the distance muttered to themselves, and the eyes that looked at the middle-aged scribe were full of jealousy.
Yan Guo, there is such a strong existence, and came to Jingbei Prefecture, is this an accident?
He didn't see what the middle-aged scribe had shown to the captain of the city guard, but he also knew in his heart that this must be a master of the Yan Dynasty.
It's just that he can't understand why the Yan Dynasty is still hiding the martial artists of the True Yuan Realm in the Dynasty under the suppression of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Don't...... Are the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect blind?
As the spear fell, the middle-aged scribe had already stepped into Fengcheng, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.
......
"City Lord, we have come to confess our sins. ”
The city lord's mansion, all the soldiers who did not have the task of defending the city gathered here to ask for punishment.
There's no way, their filth was broken by the Shangguan of the Zhennan General's Mansion, and they can't do it if they don't come.
If you come, you will be beaten at most, and if you don't come, the long sword in the hand of that Shangguan will not show mercy.
"What?"
Fengcheng City Lord Yang Chongxun looked at his subordinates who knelt down in the City Lord's Mansion with a bewildered expression, his group of subordinates were crazy, otherwise how could they run here to ask for punishment, as the city lord, his affairs are too much, and he can't do everything in detail, so he doesn't know the dirty methods of these city defenders.
"You, go down and find out what's going on. ”
Yang Chongxun called out to his guards and asked him to go down to understand the situation, while he walked back to the City Lord's Mansion with a solemn face.
Yannan is turbulent, although the war has not burned to Jingbei Prefecture now, but according to the general's intentions, he will temporarily abandon Xuanye and Fengtian Prefectures, lure the enemy into depth, and then divide and destroy them.
As a general under Liu Xuance, he was of course entrusted with important tasks, and in the next few days, Fengcheng will become an important logistics center for the entire southwest war.
The officers and soldiers defending the city all came to their city lord's mansion to confess their guilt and ask for punishment, which was not a trivial matter in Yang Chongxun's opinion, and it was not allowed to be sloppy.
Especially at this critical moment, he would never allow anyone to make trouble in Fengcheng and mess up his deployment, thus affecting the entire southwest war situation.
As a logistical powerhouse for the southwest war in the near future, Fengcheng is too important to allow him to be careless.
Not long after Yang Chongxun returned to the City Lord's Mansion, his personal guards also brought back the information he wanted.
"A man from the Great General's Mansion, a middle-aged scribe who can cut off the spears of the Fengcheng soldiers?"
Yang Chongxun rubbed his eyes, his brain was running at high speed, "Go and invite the person holding the order of the Great General's Mansion to the mansion immediately." ”
The filthiness of the guards didn't give him much thought, and he ordered to fix the fashion, but the man with the order of the Great General's Mansion in his hand caught his attention.
Yang Chongxun, as the confidant of the general Liu Xuance, has never heard that Yang Chongxun is going to send someone to Fengcheng, so the origin of this person is up for debate.
In such a critical period, he needs to show his courage and determination, even if the other party is really a person sent by the general, he can understand his intentions when he wants to.
Otherwise, there was an unknown person living in the city who was holding the order of the Great General's Palace, which made it difficult for him to feel at ease.
"Yes, City Lord. ”
The guards left the City Lord's Mansion with Yang Chongxun's edict, and the soldiers who defended the city still knelt outside the mansion and waited for Yang Chongxun's punishment.
However, at this moment, where does Yang Chongxun have the intention of punishing these people, one of his hearts is on that mysterious middle-aged scribe, who can use a long sword to cut off the spears in the hands of several defenders at the same time, will there be such a powerful person in the General's Mansion?
What if the people from the General's Mansion did not come to the City Lord's Mansion in order to enter the city? Did they have another mission or did someone else pretend to have other intentions?
Perhaps, only by finding that person can you get the answer you want.
Yang Chongxun secretly thought that he was too nervous to sit down, and he was walking around frequently in front of the table at the moment.
