The sun is setting, in order to save time, our soldiers are divided into two roads, Xiao Qi and others go to the town to buy clothes, hire carriages, Ren Yuming and I are waiting on the mountain road, the sky gradually darkens, after the golden sunset is submerged into the distant mountains, the fiery red above the sky gradually fades, replaced with Dai Qing, the light and shadow on all sides dimmed, and the shadows of people are smeared clean.

"Boss, why haven't they come yet?" Ren Yuming frowned at me, unable to hide the anxiety on his face: "Nothing will happen, right?" ”

I shook my head, "Wait, there should be nothing wrong, Xiao Qi has always been clever, they haven't had an accident in the mountains for a few years, they know the environment here well, what is enough to deal with!" ”

I looked into the distance, the mountains were running from the far distance, stretching and rolling on the vast land, and the mountain roads were rugged, even if I didn't say anything, I still had a little worry in my heart.

"It's coming!" After waiting for another half an hour, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of me, and a convoy galloped from afar.

"How? Top dog! He rushed back with a roar, "I've hired all the horses and carts I can hire in town." ”

"You're so generous, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?" I asked, looking at the carriage and horses.

"No!" He shook his head aggressively: "Now that the war is in chaos, we are here at the junction of the two countries, and there are big families who hire carriages to travel far away at every turn, don't worry, boss, you will never make a mistake." ”

I nodded, Xiao Qi has lived here for a long time, whether it is life habits and dialect is no different from the locals, I put my mind at ease and said: "Then let's go, we will work hard tonight, we will rush overnight, and strive to arrive before noon tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"

Rushing overnight, starry night, less than noon, Qu Yan City is already in front of you, Huling Town is a small town in the west of Qu Yan City, you can arrive in about an hour after entering the city, long distance attack, Ren Yuming and others did not show any fatigue, let me be a little surprised.

His bright eyes were rare and understanding: "Boss, we have been marching for a long time, and this distance is nothing to us!" ”

I smiled, "Then keep persisting, and I'll invite you to drink when you enter the city!" ”

"Good!" They rejoiced and shouted in unison.

The mountain road is rugged, before we can cross the mountain, we have encountered several waves of convoys out of the city, Quyan City is a large city, there are people in and out of the very common, what is surprising is that everyone has a little bit of depression and indignation on their faces, I am a little concerned, give Ren Yuming a look, he immediately understood, and hurried towards the convoy all the way to catch up: "Big brother, but just out of the city?" ”

"Out of what city!" Unexpectedly, the look of anger on the man's face was even worse: "You can't enter the city at all!" ”

"Can't get into the city?" Ren Yuming was really taken aback and said, "Why?" ”

"It is said that there are thieves, and now the whole city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Big brother didn't think about it!" He made a gesture of digging for money.

"Humph! How could you not have thought about it! The man showed a little resentment, who didn't know these points when he walked the rivers and lakes, "This time is different from the past, I advise you, let's go back!" I arrived yesterday, waited for two days and one night, couldn't get in or out, thought of all the ways I could, there was no way! Die! He shook his head, said no more, and led his horse away in despair.

I glanced at the somewhat deflated team and said, "You guys find a place to rest first, and Ren Yuming and Xiao Qi will accompany me to have a look!" ”

"Yes!"

Sure enough, from a distance, I have seen a long queue at the gate of the city, all the roads have been blocked by officers and soldiers, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry are heavily guarded, the people inside want to go out, the people outside want to come in, the convoy of carts that go out of the city to sell and deliver vegetables into the city are all blocked at the gate of the city, and they are subject to the inspection of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate much more carefully than usual.

"What's going on?"

"I heard that I am catching Jiangyang thieves!"

"Oh......" There was a sigh of surprise or fright. What thieves to catch? ”

"I don't know, it seems that this thief happened to steal to the next king, how can the next king let him, isn't it? Search for the whole city! This time, no matter how capable he is, it is difficult to fly! ”

"I heard that it's still good here, the mountains and wilderness on the periphery of Qinglan Mountain, and the main roads leading to the cities are more tightly checked!"

"Do you see the one in front of you in black? I heard that it was the next king's personal companion! ”

"Ahh I heard that a few days ago, they were looking for people in the city, and if they couldn't find them, they took people out of anger, and every family lost their wealth and suffered! ”

"Silence! You don't want to die, mention this! ”

There was silence for a while, and the timid and fearful people all shut up and moved forward with the crowd.

In the crowd, there was a sudden commotion.

"Official, this is the silver I used to buy medicine in the city! Please give it back to the villain! A thin man clutched a money bag in his hand.

The officer and soldier snorted coldly, and pushed him away with a rude movement, the club in his hand had already smashed down, and the man fell to the ground, holding his head in the whipping.

"Stop fighting! Stop it! Spare your life! The man begged for mercy, but to no avail, and the long whips of the officers and soldiers fell on his back like a splash of wind and thumped.

Someone persuaded him to say something, but the long whip seemed to have found an outlet for catharsis, and immediately it was affected, and the sound of punches and kicks falling on the body could be faintly heard, the sound of foul language and insults, and the sound of laughter on all sides.

After all, Ren Yuming is young, his blood is strong, where can he bear it when he sees this, he takes a step out, and he is about to block it, I grabbed him: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, there are too many people here, one is not good, if you find our whereabouts, I'm afraid everyone present will be implicated!" ”

He was stunned, and finally stopped, his fists clenched, and his muscles stood violently.

The moonlight was slanting a little westward, and most of the night had passed, but the city gate was never opened, and the procession in front of the city gate had dispersed in all directions, some had already left, and some were still watching.

"Let's go!" I look at every corner of the city wall, there is naturally no problem for a few of us to cross the city, it is rare that the carriage cannot enter, there is no carriage, just a few of us, even if it is brought out some pyrite, what is the use, I sighed faintly, knowing that it is hopeless to enter the city, and said softly.

"But Boss!" Ning Huai'an raised his eyes to look at me unwillingly.

"Let's go back first and then think about it in the long run!" I said softly.

"Yes!"

The moonlight is gloomy, and it is heavy and shrouded in the sky above the mountain road, tonight the stars are faint and the moon is light, the stratus clouds are rolling, there is no autumn comfort, I frowned deeply, the officers and soldiers just now turned out to be the subordinates of the next king, what are they looking for? Who is the so-called thief? Who can be worthy of such a big fight? I mind a little......

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, it was the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground, so late at night, even if the city gate was not sealed, it had already passed the time to close the city gate, why should you be so persistently hurrying?

I immediately caught Ren Yuming and Ning Huai'an and hid aside, and on the mountain road under the moonlight, a team of cars and horses faintly appeared, a total of more than a dozen people, and the word "Zhou" was written on the car. The driver still lowered his body and drove again and again, obviously in an emergency.

My eyes flashed, and an idea already came to my mind.

I squinted at Ren Yuming: "I have thought of a way to enter the city!" ”

He was a little surprised: "How to get in?" ”

I pointed to the convoy: "This group of people is still on their way so late, and there are so many people on the way back, but they have not hesitated at all, there must be a way to enter the city." The word "Zhou" is written on the carriage, and the city lord of Quyan City is named Zhou Jiang, I think the person sitting in the carriage should have an inextricable relationship with the city lord, and it should be his family members if nothing else! ”

Ren Yuming was stunned and said, "Boss, you don't mean to kidnap them, right?" ”

I glared at him, "I mean to be a hero to save beauty!" ”

He was stunned again!

I ignored him and looked at Ning Huai'an: "You immediately find a few brothers to change their clothes, ambush them on the diversion road in front, and start as soon as the convoy arrives, and when the time comes, a few of us will go to the hero to save the United States, and naturally we can find a chance to enter the city!" ”

He was stunned when he heard this, but his eyes lit up, and he smiled, baring out his white teeth: "Boss, please do it!" ”
