Two teams of heavily armored soldiers lined up in front of the wide open city gate, and the lights were blazing, reflecting the embarrassment of Xiao Cong's clothes at this time, and also the blankness and coldness of the general next to him, he didn't seem to be interested in the son of the fifth family next to him.

Xiao Cong shook his hand lightly, put it to his mouth and deliberately coughed a few times, and then took the lead in opening the conversation: "Thank you for the general's accommodation, I don't know what the general is called?"

"My surname is Zhang. He didn't even tilt his head, and said coldly to Xiao Cong. Xiao Cong laughed dryly a few times, and then said: "The autumn cold and dew are heavy, such a solar term, the general can still personally guard here, and the hard work is high, Xiao Cong does not admire it very much." ”

"We are all waiting for you. ”

"Why!" Xiao Cong couldn't help but be stunned.

"Because it's a military order. He finally turned his head and said expressionlessly to Xiao Cong, and then he actually smiled at Xiao Cong, the smile was extremely ugly, and Xiao Cong felt more and more awkward when he looked at it from afar.

Xiao Cong felt weak and exhausted at this time, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with this person who was like Fengdu, so he asked: "Dare to ask Xiao Cong if he can borrow a fast horse from the general, Xiao Cong will give him another gift to repay the general's accommodation." ”

"No, I can't. General Zhang replied lightly, quite lightly, as if standing in front of him was not the young prince of the fifth family, but an insignificant person, and as if whoever came to him to ask such a question, he would answer it so much, because they were all insignificant people, even the emperor Lao Tzu was no exception.

"This ......" was rejected so neatly, Xiao Cong felt extremely embarrassed, thinking about the people he met since Tiandaoxuan came out, although not all of them could be humble and obedient, but they were all courteous, but in front of a centurion in this holy city, they became idle people who couldn't get on the stage, Xiao Cong didn't feel annoyed, he just felt that there were thousands of grass and mud horses galloping in his heart at this time.

General Zhang stopped, turned his head and grinned at Xiao Cong again, this smile made Xiao Cong become the second monk, confused, and in desperation, he could only return an embarrassing and stiff smile.

"I have heard for a long time that the four sons of the Xiao family are gentle and straightforward, and their bearing is extraordinary, and when I see it today, it really lives up to its name, I have seen many young leaders of famous families, most of them are gentlemen, no one in their eyes, flying and domineering, like the fourth young master Xiao is so approachable, and there are very few gentle and elegant people. Xiao Cong waved his hand again and again and said: "The general is really praised, how can Xiao Cong be so praised by the general." General Zhang said: "There were many villains who were offended before, so don't worry about the fourth young master Xiao." General Zhang bowed slightly to Xiao Cong and bowed, Xiao Cong hurriedly helped him, flattered and said: "Why did the general make such a big gift, how dare Xiao Xiang be." Seeing this situation, Xiao Cong couldn't help laughing, and he secretly thought to himself in his heart,

"Presumably, this person should also be an interesting person, and he can climb to this position today, and he is not only bought by birth and death, well, there are two brushes. Then, he smiled and asked, "I heard the general just now."

"Order", dare to ask the general, but whose order was received?"

"The order of the four kings of Xuanzhen, when I saw the four sons of the Xiao family, I immediately told you that because the four princes did not instruct how to settle you, I dare not make a claim, and I hope that the fourth young master Xiao will forgive me. Xiao Cong smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Where is the general, it is the duty of the military to obey orders, and it is really Xuan Zhen's luck that the four uncles can have such an impartial law enforcement cadre as the general." General Zhang smiled,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao praised it falsely. Unconsciously, Xiao Cong had followed the steps of General Zhang's to walk up to the tall city tower, he had not slept for a day and a night, and he had experienced such a hard battle yesterday, and he really couldn't support it, so he couldn't help but yawn, a gust of cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shudder, and General Zhang on the side saw this, smiled slightly, and said:" The fourth young master Xiao burned the ointment in order to build the formation, day and night, Zhang is really impressed, if the fourth young master Xiao does not give up, you can take a break in my city guard barracks, and when the four princes have instructions, Zhang will personally send the fourth young master Xiao back to the house to rest. Xiao Cong smiled reluctantly: "Let the general see and smile." ”

"Wherever you are, please come with me. General Zhang waved his right hand and made a gesture of invitation, Xiao Cong smiled and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey." "He is really tired, if it weren't for someone else guarding, maybe he could find a corner on the guard tower of this holy city and lie down on the spot, now there is such a God-given opportunity, he can be willing to destroy the heavenly things, this sleep, Xiao Cong feels that he has not slept so sweetly and satisfied since his life.

Sleep until noon. When Xiao Cong woke up from his sleep, the sun had risen high, the sun was shining from the window from outside the city wall, and the masonry under the window was bright, bright and somewhat dazzling, and in the square pillar of light that shot down obliquely, it was clearly visible that there were pieces of dust wandering slowly and irregularly, as if it was the breath of the gods from a distant era.

He sat up from a hard couch, yawned several times, stretched again, and then sat quietly on the couch, looked around, and found that this place was so unfamiliar, and then he suddenly remembered that he should be in General Zhang's garrison barracks.

He got up slowly, moved his body again, tidied up his clothes, and then walked out slowly, pushing the door open, and suddenly the sun was shining.

The city tower looked the same as what he saw when he went out of the city yesterday, but Xiao Cong knew that this barracks was actually designed on the inner wall with his back to the outside of the city.

"This room next to that should be the Armory Battalion......," he thought, continuing on his way. All the way around to the outer city wall of the tower, Xiao Cong was able to see General Zhang, although everyone is Pingshui meet only one side, but after all, it can be regarded as a friend, after a greeting Xiao Cong said goodbye to General Zhang, riding a good horse given by General Zhang, non-stop running to the post house where the Xiao family temporarily lived, in fact, if you want to talk about speed, your own Lingyin step does not know how much faster than this fast horse, but General Zhang's beauty, Xiao Cong is disrespectful, of course, he also just wants to experience the feeling of this hussar fast horse.

Run all the way to the inn. Xiao Cong pushed the door in, but there was no trace of Steward Qin, and no one answered after shouting for a while, but the handyman who served in the post house heard the sound and told Xiao Cong that Steward Qin had gone out early in the morning, and there were things like hills piled up in the yard, which were sent by Young Master Ouyang yesterday.
