The eastern city of the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty also has three city gates, the Snow Gate in the north, the Guangmen Gate in the middle, and the Lu Gate in the south.

Out of the Lumen to the east is not far from the Zihe River, to the south is the Tianqi Yuan, the wilderness outside the city to get the benefit of two water irrigation, all of which are large areas of fertile land, plastered soil, naturally need a large number of farmers to cultivate and cultivate.

Over time, the Lumen has become a place where the common people in the capital live, the alleys are vertical and horizontal, densely populated, the most lively and fireworks, and the most chaotic and crowded.

The so-called "three hundred Lu, Linzi into yin, sweating into rain, shoulder to shoulder", the first thing to say is the scene near Lumen.

However, even this is not enough, with the multiplication of the population, a large number of dwellings have already been built outside the Lumen, and a circle of walls has been built around these dwellings, so the king of Daqi has an outer city, named Dongguo, which is handed over to the Dongguo doctor, that is, the Jiang surname Dongguo.

This so-called, build a city to defend the king, build a country to defend the people.

In order to facilitate the guard, in addition to the Lu gate on the west side, the royal capital Dongguo only opened another door on the east side.

As the thirteenth city gate of the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, this gate was named Lumen.

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples.

As soon as the neighing of the deer was heard in the fields outside the city, the armor soldiers under the command of the Dongguo clan would leap out of the city, shouting and shooting arrows at the deer, killing or chasing.

Recently, it is gradually winter, there is no crop or deer herd outside the Lumen, but at noon on this day, a cavalry team of less than 100 people crossed the Zihe River and galloped towards Dongguo.

The first was a burly soldier riding a green ox and wearing heavy armor, with a round face and a square nose, thick lips and big ears, a beard on his face, a curled and thick beard glowing with purple, and a pair of eyes between Gu Pan revealed a terrifying blue eyeball.

The green ox he rode on was also very good, the fur was actually full of vibrant bamboo blue, and the two horns on his head were even more jade-edged, like bamboo shoots.

This soldier was followed by dozens of iron horsemen, all of whom had the evil spirit of not being approached, and at a glance they knew that they were the real elite of the army.

They hugged an inconspicuous carriage with arrowholes and knife marks on its body, and its doors and windows were closed so that it was impossible to get a glimpse of what was inside.

Behind this carriage and dozens of iron horsemen, a young man riding a golden bull was behind the palace alone.

The young man was in his early twenties, tall and thin, with armor but no helmet, a conspicuous red silk wrapped around his tapered bun, and a long knife behind him.

From the scabbard, it can be inferred that this long knife is curved like a hook, and the shape is very peculiar.

What's even more peculiar is the golden bull under his crotch, with red eyes and white horns, and the rest is golden from head to toe, as if it was cast in gold, almost not like a human being.

What is particularly striking is that the tail of the golden bull is connected to a thick golden chain, and several people are tied into a string by this chain and are staggering in the cold wind.

Such an unusual cavalry team almost as soon as it appeared in the wilderness between Dongguo and Zihe River, it attracted the attention of the defenders of Lumen.

The armor in front of the city gate immediately took off the deer whistle hanging around his neck and blew it vigorously, making a sound similar to the roar of a deer, and the people who were entering and leaving the city gate fled one after another.

An archer appeared on the tower of the city gate, and shot a whistle arrow into the sky, and the bone horn whistle on the arrow was whistled by the wind, and the sharp whistling sound was heard far and wide in the wilderness.

So, when the strange cavalry of less than a hundred men approached, they were greeted by a closed city gate and hundreds of armor soldiers waiting in front of the gate.

A young horseman with red lips and white teeth and a handsome face stepped forward and shouted to the strong man riding a green ox: "I am Dongguo Kunyu, the left lieutenant of Lumen, and the person who came is a common name!" ”

Hearing this, the strong man riding the green ox held up a golden token: "Hook Chen Yuan's Governor's Mansion Hundred Cavalry Elder Brother Shu Dashi and Hundred Cavalry Commander Wei Bao, I was ordered to escort An Fenghou into the capital, and asked the little general to let him go!" ”

Hearing the title of "little general", Dongguo Kunyu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stiffened his strength.

He looked down to the left of his horse, where a little old man with antlers and a deerskin robe appeared out of nowhere.

The little old man tilted his head, looked carefully at Geshu Dashi's token, and then nodded silently.

Seeing this, Dongfang Kunyu was obviously relieved, turned his horse aside, and waved his hand at the armor behind him: "Release!" ”

"Thank you, little general!"

The corners of Geshu Dashi's mouth were grinning, and his eyes drooped slightly, covering the disdain in his eyes.

Dongguo Kunyu stood on horseback beside the road, curiously watching this strange cavalry pass in front of him.

With his family background, he naturally heard some news about Liaozhou, but he was limited by age and official position, and his knowledge was limited and it was difficult to get a full picture.

Among those vague rumors, the Jiang surname Ding of Shizhen Donghai caused a big mess in Jiuzhen County, so that An Fenghou was taken by the new official Hook Chen Yuan Da Sima, and even the golden robe on his body was ripped off, and he was even tied up and put into a prisoner car, and Wang Duming would be brought to be sentenced in a few days.

But at the same time, there is another saying, saying that Ding Chengyuan, Marquis of Anfeng, although he has the crime of negligence, but he also has the merit of quelling the chaos, so there is no worry about his life this time, especially the nobles in the palace love the East China Sea to ward off the cold gold, this pillow wind blows, the lord of the country is naturally a big thing into a small thing, a small matter, a fine of three glasses of wine, not an example.

However, rumors are rumors after all, and today I finally saw the main owner, but there was no prisoner car, and I heard the eldest brother Shu Dashi personally say that it was an "escort", and Dongguo Kunyu naturally believed the latter statement.

He thought that he had insight into the inside situation, and he would have something to talk about in front of his peers in the future, and it was difficult to hide the excitement on his face.

The only fly in the ointment was that he stared at the carriage in the cavalry for a long time, but he didn't even see An Fenghou's face, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Tsk, Liaozhou is really rich, even the chains that tie people are made of gold!"

Dongguo Kunyu secretly sighed, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately blurted out: "Slow! ”

He glanced back and forth, and his right palm had subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife: "Who are these people who are tied up in the back?" ”

Dongguo Kunyu really saw it, there were five unlucky people who were bound by the golden chains, and the leader was an old woman in a black brocade robe, who walked tremblingly, and it was very pitiful to look at.

A beautiful young woman in a white dress followed behind the old woman, dusty and haggard, but she still couldn't hide her beauty.

Further back, a pair of boys and girls with lovely eyebrows and white skin, supporting each other, wiping tears as they walked.

Walking at the end was a dark-skinned, short-skinned monk, who was a little taller than boys and girls, and his appearance was also honest and honest, and he carried a big black iron pot behind him.

At a glance, there are monks, men, women, and children, and their clothes are varied, and the prisoners are not like prisoners, and the captives are not like prisoners.

When Dong Guo Kunyu found that these people were not wearing shoes on their feet without exception, his face was already red with anger.

His eyes widened, his eyebrows raised, and he asked the young man riding the golden bull, "You are the hundred horsemen surnamed Wei, right?" Didn't you say that you escorted Marquis Anfeng into the capital, why did you treat the Hou family so harshly? And dare to kidnap good monks? ”

As early as Dongguo Kunyu's "slow" shout, the cavalry entering the city quickly stopped.

After being deducted from two big hats by him one after another, the young horseman named Wei Bao and riding a miraculous golden bull snorted coldly, raised his right arm without hesitation, and touched the handle of the long knife on his back with his backhand, and was about to draw the knife when he saw it.

The brother Shu Dashi who walked in the forefront had also turned the bamboo cow and returned, and his face was full of inexplicability.

He didn't carry a weapon on his body, but only clenched his right fist at this time, and there was a black aura hidden between his palms and fingers.

Seeing this, the little old man wearing a deer antler helmet and a deerskin robe changed sharply, reached out and grabbed Dongguo Kunyu's stirrup and shook it vigorously, and said urgently: "Little master, this is not the young masters and ladies of various families playing around in the past, how can we put our beaks in the big case hosted by the Hook Chen Academy?" ”

How do you know that Dong Guo Kunyu shook his head regardless of it, and his voice became sharp: "What's wrong with Hook Chen Yuan?" Can Hook Chen Yuan wantonly bully the old and young women and children of the Holy Jiang Sect? Can Hook Chen Yuan disrespect monks and disregard people's lives? ”

After that, he actually jumped off the horse, ignored Wei Bao's eyes full of vigilance and murderous intent, walked quickly to the young beauty, and asked with a concerned face, "What is the name of my sister?" If you have suffered any grievances along the way, you can tell Xiao ...... Junior! ”

The beautiful woman was obviously taken aback by the young man, and instead of answering, she turned her head to look at Wei Bao.

Dongguo Kunyu was even more annoyed when she saw this: "Sister, don't be afraid!" This place is already at the feet of the lord of the country, and it is a place where there is a king's law! ”

"We are waiting for the Holy Jiang Sect to be in the same breath, it is the Great Sima of the Hook Chen Courtyard, who is also a descendant of the Holy Jiang Miao, if he knows that these dogs kill to dare to be so rampant and rude, it will never be tolerated!"

Geshu Dashi had already ridden the bamboo ox to the front, and when he heard the words, he smiled instead of being angry, and looked at Dongguo Kunyu with slanted eyes, as if he was looking at something rare.

Dong Guo Kunyu was so angry that his small chest kept rising and falling, and he pulled out the saber at his waist with a bang, and immediately raised it above his head, and slashed down at the golden chain.

Sonor!

In the midst of the sparks, I saw a strange long knife with golden light in the opposite direction, and it was easy to break Dongguo Kunyu's saber with one blow.

In the sound of breaking wind, a severed blade struck horizontally, and flew out close to his ear.

It was Wei Bao who struck, the long knife he held in his hand was like a hook and bent, the back was thick and the blade was thin, and the sword body of the cold light and shining and deceiving the frost and snow had exquisite golden bird ornaments, which complemented the golden bull under his crotch.

Dongguo Kunyu walked out of life and death, screamed suddenly, and was about to say something, but a strong wind suddenly rose behind his head, and then he was grabbed by the back of his neck, and was easily dragged off the ground like a little chicken.

Geshu Dashi shook his muscular knotted arm, threw the left lieutenant of Lumen in front of him, and rested it horizontally on the back of the bamboo ox.

He didn't care about Dong Guo Kunyu's hands and feet, he just held down the other party's small body, and said with a cruel smile: "What a little cub who doesn't know the height of the sky, relying on his own family background, he dares to rob these evil demons?" ”

"You fart!"

Dongguo Kunyu struggled hard, but he didn't forget to return the favor: "I have practiced since I was a child, how can I not tell which one is the human race and which one is the demon?" ”

Geshu Dashi sneered again when he heard this: "If you have eyes but no beads, you don't want these two tricks!" ”

As he spoke, the hundreds of guards had already gathered around, and the steel knives in their hands came out, pushing everyone in the Hook Chen Courtyard into the middle, and a large number of archers appeared on the city tower above, all of them leading bows and arrows, ready to attack.

However, after all, no one dared to really do it, these people were nominally subordinate to the Lumen guards, but in fact, their ancestors had been attached to the Dongguo clan for generations, and they were no different from private soldiers at all.

At this moment, Wei Bao, who had always had a cold face and did not say a word, spoke: "They are indeed demons that harm countless people, but now they are suppressed by this chain, and they can't see it." ”

Dongguo Kunyu was stunned for a moment, his face was in disbelief, but the struggle on his hands and feet was a little weaker.

He lay on the back of the bamboo ox, raised his head with great effort, and asked with a wrinkled little face, "How to prove it?" ”

Wei Bao glanced at the young man, looked away and stopped talking, and even more so at the steel knives around him that were about to stab him.

"How?"

Geshu Dashi repeated, but his tone was completely different from Dongguo Kunyu.

He smiled and raised his big hand, and unceremoniously threw the boy off the back of the ox, smashing the ground into a cloud of dust.

"If I hadn't waited for my fate, I would have to punish these demons in front of the public and punish them with the power of Chen Zhiwei, who would be impatient to take them to the royal capital alive?"

"I heard that there is a vegetable market in Dongguo, the capital of Wangdu, which is the most lively? Later, in front of the soldiers and civilians of the department, these harmful things will be cut down one by one, and then General Dongguo will naturally be able to see is believing! ”

As soon as these words came out, the disgraced Dongguo Kunyu was not good, but the guys who were bound by the golden chains immediately became excited, one by one with a pleading look, their mouths kept opening and closing, and they couldn't make the slightest sound.

Wei Bao's face sank, and he slapped the golden chain with the blade of the golden hook, and the entire chain was straightened, and the guys who were tied up suddenly stiffened, and even their mouths couldn't help but be tightly closed.

Seeing the magic of this golden chain with his own eyes, Dongguo Kunyu couldn't help but hesitate.

He waved his hand at the soldiers who were surrounding him: "Go, fence off the entrance of the vegetable market!" I want to see how the Hook Chen Yuan is going to kill people today! ”

As a result, this small conflict outside Lumen was like having wings because of the help of the Dongguo clan, and it soon spread throughout Dongguo, and even the three hundred alleys in Lumen were a sensation.

Whether it is the inner city or the outer Guo, the people of the royal capital are probably the most popular group of people in the whole Daqi, and soon there will be a crowd of people pouring out of the Lumen and squeezing into Dongguo, surrounding the entrance of the vegetable market.

The movement caused by this sudden bustle was far beyond the expectations of everyone present, so much so that when the carriage carrying An Fenghou was escorted by half of the iron horsemen, and slowly drove away from the boiling vegetable market against the flow of people, few people took a look, and even Dongguo Kunyu left it behind.

As a cattle herdsman and tiger leader who once served An Fenghou, Geshu Dashi has not forgotten his former benefactor.

He looked at the rather lonely carriage from afar, and saw that another team of black-armored people who appeared out of nowhere quietly followed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Da Sima and Changshi have lives, let me and Wei Bao act in a high-profile manner all the way, and Hou Ye must be extremely uncomfortable in his heart......"

"On the contrary, it was the last time on the escort road to declare the power, together with the disturbance of Guo Kunyu in Fang Caidong, which can be regarded as a crooked beating, and it preserved some dignity for the Hou Ye, otherwise it would be the dignified Marquis Anfeng who was treated as a monkey by the people of the capital."

When he was sighing, Geshu Dashi suddenly realized.

He suddenly looked up, and saw a young man standing on the tower of Lumen City on the west side of the entrance of the vegetable market, with a silver belt in his robe and a gold medal around his waist, who was smiling at him.

Ge Shu Da Shiben's somewhat gloomy mood immediately lit up, and for the first time there was a heartfelt smile between his eyebrows.

Coincidentally, the two people up and down the city tower hugged their fists and saluted from afar.
