Chapter 16 Cliff City, Duwan Mountain

Shortly after the crowd descended the mountain.

In a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, Master Guo Beixian looked at Zuo Dao and the others with a stunned expression.

He originally thought that there were many evil cults in this Lanruo Temple, and even if these brocade guards could survive, they should lose a few people.

It's better to teach them a lesson, so that they can understand the truth that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

Unexpectedly, not only was not one of these brocade guards damaged, but even the horses were not missing.

The master showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then turned over directly on his horse, and hurriedly galloped in the direction of Guobei County.

……

Zuo Dao and the others, who had just come down from the mountain, naturally also noticed the master who was galloping on a horse in the distance.

Zhao Hu said in a low voice: "My lord, do you want me to go up and cut him?" ”

Zuo Dao waved his hand slightly and said: "Don't pay attention to it, I have the emperor's order, so I should go to Linya City to work earlier." ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he answered, and then withdrew his gaze.

After descending the mountain, the group made some purchases in the nearby town, and then rode forward in the direction of the cliff city.

This cliff city is located near the edge of Youzhou, not far from the 100,000 Great Mountain.

It can be said that this city is a checkpoint between the 100,000 Mountains and the Great Wei, and it has always been heavily guarded.

It's a pity that a long time ago, there was a mutiny here.

It is rumored that because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, the guards have thoughts that they should not rise.

After the news of this incident came out, it immediately provoked the anger of the emperor Long Yan.

Not only did they regain their military power, but their troops were also reduced considerably.

It also sent the strongest people in the brocade guard to guard here, and the big and small things that happened here were transmitted to Kyoto.

However, the good times did not last long, and the demons in all parts of the Great Wei gradually rose, and this Youzhou Jinyi Wei suffered heavy losses.

Just the thousand-level brocade guards have folded three people.

This time, Zuo Dao was sent over, in addition to sharpening him, he also wanted to test the situation in Youzhou for the last time.

If all goes well, perhaps a pacification envoy will be sent to take charge.

If it doesn't go so well, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will command the servants to lead the crowd to purge all demons.

Everyone walked on the road for nearly half a month, and finally saw the wall of Linya City from a distance.

Along the way, they saw many people migrating in the direction of Kyoto, as if they wanted to get away from the border with Youzhou.

They even saw quite a few mountain bandits, bandits, and even horse bandits.

On top of this official road, they are rampant, robbing money, and harming people's lives.

Whenever he encountered these bandits, Zuo Dao would lead the crowd forward and cut them down.

I'm afraid that even those bandits didn't expect that they would meet a brocade-clothed guard in this ghost place.

Everyone came to the bottom of the cliff city and looked at the towering cliff city wall in front of them.

The walls are black, and I don't know what kind of bricks they are made of, and the gates are guarded by soldiers.

It was noon, and there were quite a few people entering the city.

When the guards of the city saw Zuo Dao and others coming, they immediately stepped forward to stop them and said: "The process of riding is three Wen, and you have a group of thirteen people, and the entrance fee to the city will cost thirty-nine Wen. ”

Zhao Huce immediately stepped forward and threw the waist card of his own hundred households into the man's hand.

He said: "Kyoto Zuo Qianhu came to Youzhou to take up a post, and you are waiting to find someone to take us to the Jinyiwei station." ”

Hearing the three words of Jin Yiwei, the man's body trembled obviously.

Then he cautiously looked at Zhao Hu's waist card, and immediately changed his face.

He smiled flatteringly, "Ladies and gentlemen, come with me." ”

As he spoke, he respectfully returned the waist card to Zhao Hu and arranged for other soldiers to cover their shortcomings.

Then he led the way in front, led everyone into the city, and walked towards the Jinyi Guard's station.

As soon as he left, another person ran in a different direction towards the city to report to the city lord.

The man led Zuo Dao and the others to a yamen near the city.

There were two guards at the entrance of the yamen, and they saw this person coming with Zuo Dao and others. Immediately stepped forward and said:

"Who are you waiting for? What are you doing with my Jinyi Guard's yamen? ”

The soldier who led the way hurriedly spoke: "This lord, these adults are from Kyoto, and they said that they want to come here to serve. ”

Hearing the soldier speak, the gatekeepers glanced at each other.

Then he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Dare to ask your lordship, but Zuo Qianhu from Kyoto?" ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao said, "You know me? ”

One of them spoke: "Back to Qianhu, the letter falcon of the imperial court arrived at the yamen half a month ago, so we know that the lord is about to come to Yacheng to take up his post. ”

Zuo Dao nodded slightly, and the movement in Kyoto was very fast.

It should be that he has just left the city, and he sent a letter falcon to pass a letter to inform him of the news of his upcoming position.

He turned over and dismounted, let Zhao Hu lead the horse, and led everyone into the Jinyi Guard Yamen.

The last time Cliff Castle sent a message to Kyoto.

The entire Youzhou Jinyi Guard suffered heavy losses, except for the death of the thousand households guarding the town.

In the land of one state, there is only one Jinyi Wei deputy thousand households left, three hundred households, and seven hundred households.

The total number of people is only about 300.

In a huge Youzhou, there are only 300 brocade guards left, of which more than 200 are the most ordinary wrestlers and captains.

So he just applied for an expatriate assignment to guard a state, and he was sent to Youzhou.

Not only has 1,000 households been promoted, but there are also the right to appoint and dismiss ordinary 1,000 households.

It is even possible to bring people from Kyoto to take office to supplement the vacancy in Youzhou, which shows how serious the loss is here.

As soon as everyone walked into the courtyard, they saw a middle-aged man with a pale face approaching.

When he came to the front, he saluted the left road and said, "Duwanshan, I have seen a thousand households. ”

The Jinyi guard who led the way said in a low voice: "My lord, this is our Du Wanshan Deputy Qianhu. ”

Zuo Dao stepped forward, looked at the pale Du Wanshan, and said, "Du Qianhu is injured?" ”

Du Wanshan smiled reluctantly, waved his hand and said: "It's just a small injury, why worry about it, please follow me into the lobby." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao followed Du Wanshan into the lobby and sat in the first seat.

Du Wanshan looked at Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others brought by Zuo Dao, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that this Kyoto Qianhu, who dared to come to Youzhou to work hard, would at least bring some capable people.

You can only bring two test hundred households, as well as ten general flags.

I'm afraid that this person didn't offend people in Kyoto and came here to die, right?

He stepped forward to check the appointment documents, and then spoke: "Lord Qiqi, now there are only a few general flags left in the yamen, and the remaining 100 households and 100 trial households are taking people to various places to eliminate demons, they can't come back to see the adults for the time being, I hope the adults will forgive me!" ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao glanced at Du Wanshan and said, "Compared to them, I want to know more about the injuries on Du Qianhu's body?" ”

When Du Wanshan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "The injuries on the body of the humble post are all old problems, they were injured by demons and evil when they were stationed in the 100,000 mountains with Li Qianhu. ”
