Volume 1 Origin Chapter 21 The Battle of the City Gate
When Qin Fengcheng's convoy drove to the north gate of Yincheng, there happened to be a horse-drawn carriage team coming from the northeast, and they also chose to enter through the north gate, and the two teams happened to meet more than a mile in front of the city gate.
It was a large convoy, with forty or fifty wagons, and the large and small boxes on the wagons were piled up more than three stories high. 、
The last few carriages are also wrapped in oil paper and brocade, and you can see through some gaps that the delicate and exquisite silk inside, the color is bright, the pattern is exquisite, and it is the top Jiangnan silk that is worth a lot of money at a glance.
There are hundreds of soldiers on both sides of the convoy guards, riding a unified blue-maned BMW, holding sharp weapons, very majestic, in front of the convoy, is a square sedan chair carried by twelve people, the sedan chair is majestic and magnificent, there are more than ten servants and maids on both sides to accompany and serve.
And looking at the scale and formation of the convoy, you know that the identity and status of the people in the sedan chair must be unusual, although it is not as powerful as the convoy of the prince and the seventh princess of the dynasty, but it also seems to be as imposing as a rainbow, and the momentum is not much different.
On the other hand, Xiang Yun's convoy only has more than a dozen carriages, and there are only more than ten people to take care of them, and the accompanying maids and servants are only Lin Wan'er in the carriage, except for Lao Liangtou, who drives the carriage.
If this were in previous years, Xiang Yun would naturally not be so low-key, his Qin Fengcheng can now be said to be a daily progress, and it is easy to prepare a huge team, but this time Xiang Yun was drunk, and the team was arranged by Mr. Liu and Steward Zhang, so it was extremely low-key, which was diametrically opposed to Xiang Shizi's style in the past!
At this moment, seeing that the two convoys were heading towards the north gate, almost coming together, Lao Liang saw this scene, just calmly drove the carriage and continued to move forward, and the guards on both sides only glanced at the convoy beside him, and then ignored it and walked forward indifferently.
And the convoy next to them had long noticed the convoy that was traveling in the same direction as them, but when they saw that this convoy was so shabby, they didn't pay attention to it.
Because the size of the convoy generally symbolizes the identity of the person who came, just like the characters in the sedan chair they are in at the moment, that is now the eldest son of the Taishou of Nanyuan County, who came to congratulate the king on his birthday with a heavy gift, naturally the convoy is huge, and the convoy is huge.
On the other hand, this convoy not only has few cars and few people, but even the birthday gifts on the carriage are shabby, and on a huge carriage, there is only a mahogany box that can hold a baby, even if there are gold jewels in it, it does not add up to as much gold and silver jewelry as in a carriage of their convoy.
As a result, the convoy led by the Taishou Prince of Nanyuan County naturally regarded Xiang Shizi's convoy as a dilapidated gate valve in the northwest, with the family wealth that had been accumulated with great difficulty, and wanted to come to Yincheng to join the king, eager to seek some benefits.
I thought that such a convoy, after seeing such a majestic momentum of its own convoy, even if it did not retreat, it should honestly stop the convoy and let its own side go first.
What everyone didn't expect was that the dilapidated and shabby convoy turned out to be non-stop, people did not squint, and the convoy continued to move forward slowly, as if they didn't see them.
Seeing that the two carriage teams were about to collide together, if they were hit by this group of Diao people, they had finally lined up in a neat queue ten miles away from Yincheng, and then the eldest prince would blame him, but how would it be good.
At that moment, the two generals in front of the sedan chair who led the team this time casually called two soldiers and said to them: "You two, go and stop the convoy, let them wait first, and then let them enter the city after we enter the city." ”
"Yes!"
The two soldiers immediately received the order, pulled the reins of the horse, and immediately transferred the horses and galloped to Xiang Yun and their carriage team, blocking the direction of the convoy from a distance of several zhang!
The two soldiers were very tacit in front of the horses, but they looked up at the sky, not to the people in front of the convoy, just waiting for the other party to send someone, and came forward to ask: "Two adults, why are you blocking the road, isn't there something negligent on our part?" ”
At that time, the two of them scolded again loudly, let these guys wait honestly in place, and then sincerely offered a hundred taels of silver to buy them wine and eat meat flowers.
However, it was clear that things were not going as the two had imagined, because in their ears, the sound of horses' hooves in front of them was still there, and the sound of ruts rolling was constant, and it was getting closer and closer, as if the other party had no intention of stopping.
The two of them finally couldn't hold back, and turned their heads to look ahead, but when they saw that the carriage had almost crashed in front of them, the two soldiers were startled, suddenly reined in the reins, and took a few steps back, so that they were not hit by the other party's carriage!
At this moment, the two soldiers were completely annoyed, staring at the graceful old beam head on the carriage opposite, a tall soldier, pulled out the horsewhip in his hand and shook his hand at the void in front of him, and suddenly made an explosion in the air!
"You old minion, you are really a big dog, don't you see your two grandfathers here, how dare you still move forward!
In the face of the soldier's heavy drinking, the old Liang Tou on the opposite side didn't even raise his eyelids, the horsewhip in his hand was still swaying slightly in the void, carrying a wine gourd in one hand, pouring wine with a grunt, and letting the carriage continue to move forward.
Lao Liangtou's reaction made the two soldiers on the opposite side stunned, and one of the soldiers said suspiciously: "This old man shouldn't be a blind man, he can't see us in front of him." ”
Hearing this, another soldier shook his head with disdain and said: "Are you a pig, if this old thing is really blind, who dares to let him drive the carriage forward, then he must not go to the edge of the cliff, I think this old thing is deaf and can't hear us!"
"Yes, yes, yes...... I think so!" the two of them reached a consensus at this moment.
However, just when the two came to the conclusion that the old man in the carriage was a deaf man, the old Liang Tou on the carriage turned around and said loudly in the carriage: "Lord Shizi, there are two two fools in front, where are they muttering and don't know what to do, what do you say?"
"You can handle it yourself, I'm showing Wan'er a palmistry. A sentence fluttered in the sedan chair.
"Oh......" Old Liang replied, and immediately stopped talking, turned his head and continued to drive the carriage forward.
Lao Liangtou's voice just now was not small, and naturally it was heard by the two soldiers, the two of them were stunned at first, and then their faces showed a look of shock, and then changed into a look of rage!
"Damn, this old guy is scolding us, this old thing has heard us and seen us, this fucking is pretending to be stupid!"
The two soldiers, who had just woken up from a dream and were furious, picked up the long whip in their hands, and whipped them on the head towards the black horse that was still walking unhurriedly, wanting to whip the beast into a frightened run, and shake the master of the palanquin and the damn old slave to pieces.
However, just when the two of them raised their whips and wanted to whip the black horse, the old Liang Tou on the carriage just said to the black horse in front of him: "Kick them!"
When the black horse heard this, it was a neigh, and its hind hooves stood still, and its two front hooves jumped high, and its hooves were like two black stakes, and they struck the chests of the two soldiers like lightning!
"Knock ......!"
Before the two of them could let out a scream, they were directly kicked upside down and flew out, falling heavily to the ground more than ten meters away, and the hard armor on their chests was kicked and deformed.
"Hey...... Lao Hei did a good job. Lao Liangtou looked at this scene, just patted the horse's buttocks lightly with his hand, and praised with a smile.
When the black horse heard this, his head shook slightly, and he raised his head and let out a neigh, and his pride was self-evident, and the high-pitched neighing frightened the two blue-maned horses on the opposite side, which had lost the control of their masters, and let out a low roar at the same time, and even the owner could not take care of it, and ran back to the convoy in a gray manner.
"Lao Liang, your horse training skills are good!" Although Xiang Yun was in the sedan chair, he also saw the scene just now, and he was also quite interested in the dark horse trained by Lao Liang to be so psychic.
"Hehe, that's not it, our Lao Liang has been doing the errand of raising horses for decades, if you don't have this ability, how dare you eat under the hands of the prince. Lao Liang licked his face and was not modest at all.
But it was said that the two frightened horses galloped back to the convoy, and the two generals and many soldiers in the convoy had already seen the scene of the two soldiers being kicked away just now.
In addition to being angry, the two generals were also a little surprised, who was this convoy, and it was just a matter of not giving way in the face of their own convoy, and they even dared to take the lead to hurt people.
After all, the two generals also have a lot of experience, and they know that the people in the northwest are fierce, but it is impossible to be so fierce that they don't know the current affairs, can it be said that the owner of this train fleet still has some background?
Thinking of this, the two of them didn't dare to make decisions on their own, so they first sent someone to rescue the two soldiers, and then a partial general dismounted and came to the door of their son's sedan chair to report: "Childe, there is a train on the left side of the line with us, and the subordinates dare not make a claim, and ask the son to decide." ”
After the general finished speaking, he didn't see anyone in the sedan chair replying, the latter was puzzled, and was about to repeat it, but suddenly heard a woman's coquettish voice from the sedan chair, and then there was a suppressed and low heavy gasp.
The general frowned slightly, and immediately realized that his son-in-law was originally busy working in the sedan chair, but he was not surprised, along the way, his son-in-law had already accepted seven or eight women into the sedan chair, and many of them were deceived by his coercion.
As slaves, they naturally dare not say much, so they can only let it go.
The general waited outside the sedan chair for a while, and an impatient response came from the sedan chair: "Do you still need to inform me about this little thing, just stop the train fleet and let them wait honestly?"
Hearing this, the general hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh...... Just now, his subordinates had already sent two soldiers to stop them from moving forward, but the other party ignored them and even injured them!"
"What!"
The voice of the person in the sedan suddenly became a little higher, and even though he heard the sound of a sigh of soot inside, with a sound of footsteps, the sedan curtain was opened by several disheveled maids.
The next moment, a young man wearing a black fox coat, a golden crown, and a handsome face walked out of the sedan chair, and he looked at the half-kneeling general in front of him and said coldly.
"Where's that convoy?"
The general hurriedly pointed out the direction for him, and the young man looked in the direction pointed by the general, and suddenly saw the slightly shabby, sparsely populated convoy, which was moving slowly forward.
When the young man saw the convoy in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Where did I come from, I didn't expect that it was such a broken convoy, and they dared to touch my people?"
The young man's expression was arrogant and unstoppable, all of which stemmed from his identity, as the eldest son of Liu Wende, the top of the Nanyuan County in the sixteen northern counties.
Liu Yuan is in Nanyuan County, it can be said that he wants to be windy and rainy, he is simply the prince of Nanyuan County, he is rampant and domineering, and it is not a problem to bully men and women.
This time by his father's entrustment, Liu Yuan went to Yincheng with a heavy gift to congratulate the king on his birthday, although his father explained in every possible way, so that he should restrain his temper along the way, not act recklessly, be humble and forbearant in case of trouble, and do not make enemies with the northwest forces.
But as the saying goes, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, Liu Yuan only barely obeyed his father's words for a day or two after leaving the county, and after the third day, passing through a small village, he saw a passing tea-picking girl in the village who looked delicate and had tender skin.
The latter's restlessness that had been suppressed for several days was finally uncontrollable, and he actually ordered someone to forcibly put the tea-picking girl on the sedan chair, forcibly tarnished the latter's innocence, and then threw dozens of taels of silver to the latter and walked away.
In the meantime, Liu Yuan can be said to have completely let go of his nature, acted recklessly, and bullied many people along the way, and now that he has arrived in Yincheng, he was thinking about whether he needed to converge and converge, but he didn't expect to bump into such an eyeless convoy.
Liu Yuan thought to himself, Just enough to pack up this bunch of convoys and enter Yincheng again, it will not be too late to converge at that time, at this moment he has already explained to his father, and he can't run away from the nine clouds if he can't fight with the strength of the northwest!
The latter directly commanded the convoy and surrounded Xiang Yun's convoy!
