Twenty-four: The lantern makes the lantern in hand, and the night watchman ascends the city
Xu Kun and the others suddenly felt numb in their scalps, neither advancing nor retreating.
They went to other houses, and as soon as the notice was not issued, they obediently obeyed the order.
He had already inquired about this Ruyi Fang from his eldest brother, he had no background, and the shopkeeper had no interest, and he lingered all day long.
The restaurant business is on the bright side, and it is said that the wine business behind the scenes is really profitable, so I just took this opportunity to test it, which is also the meaning of the eldest brother.
I didn't expect that the old rogue, who had been practicing martial arts for less than half a year, would dare to go against the government.
This is completely inconsistent with the information I heard.
It's the other way around!
Li Sui'an didn't think about it so much, but instinctively felt that he was being targeted. If I couldn't do anything before, it's just that, but now it'...... He doesn't want to bully people, so he can't be bullied.
"Do what?"
The night watchman, who had been indifferent, finally moved, "Xu Zhutou, do things according to the rules, you have crossed the line." ”
"Yes, sir."
Xu Kun borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.
After coughing dryly, Yizheng shook off the document and said: "According to the business volume of Ruyifang and the calculation of the Ding Kou in the family, there are five warriors who need to be produced, and if the number of warriors is insufficient, one person will have to make up one hundred taels of silver." There must be at least two people, who are Chen Zhonghe and Lin Qing? Quenching the Great Realm, your name is already on the list of expeditions, and you must go on the expedition. This is the seal stamped by the governor, does the shopkeeper Li have to check it again? ”
Li Sui'an unceremoniously snatched the paperwork, and Xu Kun was a step too late to take it back.
glanced at it, and it was clearly written on the document that there were three to five people, and the names of Chen Zhonghe and Lin Qing were indeed on it.
You can't underestimate the power of the government, at least how many martial artists there are in the city, they probably know.
The fine is only levied flexibly between 50~100 taels, but Xu Kun directly filled the two indicators.
didn't look at Xu Kun's malicious eyes, and threw the documents back.
Then he turned to the night watchman.
"May I ask the name of this adult, in order to prevent the gangster from impersonating, can you show the waist card."
"Huh?"
The night watchman was also surprised.
Xu Kun sneered even more, "Ignorant people, I don't know how thick the sky is, and even the waist card of the night watchman of the Lantern Division dares to check it." ”
"What's not to dare to do, the people recognize you as an official, you are an official, if you don't recognize you, you will be a bandit if you come to ask for money like this. Since you are going to the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. We wait for the people to die, and if we catch the head quickly, we will naturally die, and how can the night watchman die, maybe he will die if he walks all night. ”
"The Black Tide is coming, and the demons are besieging the city. The lantern makes the lantern in his hand, and the night watchman ascends to the city. There are also countless officers and soldiers who are in the first place of the people, guarding the safety of the people in the city, and Li Mou admires it very much. However, there are black sheep everywhere, so be cautious and make mistakes. ”
Xu Kun: ......
Night's Watchman: ......
"You're threatening the imperial court."
Xu Kun glared angrily, "Don't worry, my lord, it's just a bluff, and he won't dare to do anything if he has the guts." ”
"This is my waist card, you can see clearly. This matter is the government levy, and the lantern department is only responsible for supervision. In the event of death or wounding in wartime, the bereavement allowance shall be in accordance with the standard of a regular sergeant. ”
Xu Kun almost flashed his waist.
He also reaped some benefits from following the superintendent all the way, and he acquiesced to some of Xu Kun's behaviors.
Now that he encountered hard stubble, the night watchman didn't want to participate anymore, and took out the waist card briskly.
Li Sui'an took the waist card, the black token seemed to be gold, not gold, and it was cold to start.
It is engraved with official positions, names, portraits, and a small lantern mark on the top.
Song Yan, Xiaoqi.
"Thank you, sir." Politely hand back the waist card with both hands.
"Most of the current Jiading Nursing Homes in Ruyifang have returned home from vacation, and even if Li is counted, there are only four martial arts practitioners left......"
"No, five."
A man walked in silently from behind, "Brother Li, you missed me." ”
"Do you want to go with me? I almost forgot, your family is still on the household registration of Ruyifang, and several adults are afraid that they will return empty-handed this time. ”
Xu Kun: ......
In the evening.
At the foot of the city wall of the south gate, there was a bustling line, and a group of officers and soldiers lined up in a loud voice.
The ranks of the night watchmen lined up neatly outside the ranks, black robes and swords, sharp eyes, and a solemn atmosphere. On the city wall, the northern army of Zhenbei stood with guns and hooves, and the army was in order.
In the urn city below, in addition to the warriors of each family, there are also the warrior forces of several major families, martial arts halls, dart bureaus, and even sect warriors.
These people gathered together, talking and laughing, greeting each other, not like going on an expedition, but more like a rare big party, lively and extraordinary.
"Pavilion Master Chen has been absent for a long time, and I haven't seen three points in my skills for a long time."
"Xue Darttou has won the award, and the old man is so old, how can he make any improvement."
"Isn't this the wooden shopkeeper of the Kyushu trading house, you are still here. Can't you pay that fine? ”
"Yo, it's Boss Qin of Dongsheng Commercial Bank. The fine is just a trivial matter, and my Kyushu commercial bank has always walked with the government, and it is my duty to defend the city. Although the old man is older, he can't be frightened by a group of demons. It's Boss Qin, you have to be careful when you go to the city wall later. ”
"Sun Gongzi, look up for a long time."
"Gang Leader Jin, fortunately."
At this time, a group of monks wearing monk's robes walked over, and the scene was silent.
A general greeted them from afar and politely invited them up to the wall.
When the group of monks walked away, the crowd became lively again.
"Is it the warrior monk of Longxiang Temple, or is the metropolitan governor so big in face that even the warrior monks of Longxiang Temple have been invited."
The martial artists of the sect were very open-minded, and they climbed outside the city wall early, and the rest of them were treated equally.
In the crowd, Li Sui'an watched with relish.
Li, who awakened his talent last night, realized that he was already a master.
Today, I have the courage to catch fast, and I dare to personally lead people to apply.
Now that I have seen so many warriors at once, it is not worth the trip.
He has already joined the three senior brothers of Kameijudo, and there are many people with great strength, and he is more excited than worried about the upcoming battle to defend the city.
"Knock knock~"
Suddenly, there was a sound of drums, and the entire defense of the city wall moved.
A drum sounded.
There were also several people walking out of the city tower, black robes hanging to the ground, cloaks covering their faces, mysterious and mysterious.
After this group of people appeared, the voices in the urn city faded away.
A group of people who were chatting energetically just now were silent and no longer spoke.
"Hum~"
Several lantern magic vessels rose into the air, illuminating the entire urn city.
"I've seen the lantern envoy."
The surrounding night watchmen, officers and soldiers, and catchers bowed in unison.
One person walked out first, "Excuse me." ”
"This lantern division calms Yuan Chunfang and takes charge of the defense of the southern city. It's not early, so let's get ready immediately, don't delay the time and delay the fighter. ”
"Yes!"
Pacify the envoys, from the four pins.
is so young, and he is a lantern envoy, his status must be surprisingly high.
"Liufeng District in the inner city, come to my command."
Hey, he's familiar with the voice, and he's even more familiar with the body.
Li Sui'an squeezed through with everyone and lined up in the front row.
Hi also looked at the old man in front of her who was smiling stupidly, and a few question marks popped up on her head.
After some dots and the issuance of armor and weapons, he finally climbed the city wall.
The military camp near Kunpeng Mansion City has more than 30,000 permanent garrisons, but the city wall is too wide to defend, and it is overstretched to double the number of people.
The city should also be equipped with some defense forces, arterial road intersections, important defense areas, etc.
"You are responsible for guarding the ten-meter wall, and you must not leave without permission. If there is a mistake, it will be dealt with by military law. ”
The leading veteran told Li Suian and the others to pay attention to it with a serious face, "Pay attention to the color of the brazier at any time." If it turns blue, it means that an evil spirit is approaching, and it needs to be warned in time, and the lantern will make an adult come to ward off the evil spirit. ”
"Yes."
The city wall is equipped according to the specification of five people per ten meters, which can only be regarded as conventional defense. On the walls of the remote mountains, it will naturally be sparse. If it is a core defense area, it must be heavily guarded.
In addition, there are five night watchmen on duty every 100 meters in the southern section of the city.
For every kilometer of the city wall, there is also at least one lantern envoy.
"Senior Brother Li, our defense area is not far away, if there is an enemy, you can also call us for help." Su Huan looked at the face of the same door and admonished.
"Thank you, brother."
There are so many eight-rank martial artists in Guishoutang, but only eight people came this time, led by the three brothers of Su Huan, and Huang Henian did not come.
The night is getting darker and the temperature is dropping rapidly.
Li Sui'an looked in front of the tower in the distance.
Ji Ye was dressed in a black robe, and pulled up his hood to cover most of his face.
Standing quietly in the corner of the city tower, whether it was the night watchman or the city patrol guards, they all looked in awe of this black robe.
