In the hinterland of the Central Plains, where the great rivers are located in the middle, there is the city to open the seal, and to take the meaning of opening the territory and sealing the land. This city connects the two turbulent rivers in the north and south, with fertile grain and grass, particularly convenient water and land transportation, and a long history of nurturing ancient culture, which can be respected as the source of the Middle Earth Shenzhou for thousands of years, with a long history.

Mo said that the Great Wei Dynasty of the previous dynasty, since there are documentary records, there have been several dynasties built their capitals here. The north chokes Dameng, the south leads the river, the west controls the mountains and rivers, the east overlooks Taiyue, the thoroughfare of Kyushu, and the surrounding mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

If it weren't for the Taizu of this dynasty and the founding emperor of the country, Emperor Tianwen, who raised troops in the northwest that year, and the ancient capital that was originally named Xi'an and is now called Chang'an, I am afraid that he would have decided to make the capital here, and borrowed the fortune of the previous dynasty for thousands of years to support the country.

Even so, Emperor Tianwen still set this place as a companion capital, and since the founding of the country, the five emperors will take a month or two to deal with government affairs here at the beginning of autumn every year.

As soon as the hour arrived, the Chenzhou Gate in the south of Kaifeng City slowly opened in the shouting of the city gate captain, and the two quaint and heavy city gates stretched to both sides with a squeaky sound, and the city gate captain stood in the center, and would not follow his few sounds

"Qi" is the end of the task, but draw out the yellow flag, painted on the ancient beast enlightened, the body of the tiger nine heads are all human faces, waving a few times, waiting for him to swing back to the right side to see the street pavilion, outside the city wall, a group of caravans of buying and selling drove mule carts or camels, carrying boxes and bags of goods into the stream, so lively.

The captain of the city gate began to shout again in a loud voice,

"On the left side of the caravan, on the right side of the individual passengers, camels and mules are optimistic, please dispose of the feces by yourself." Wrapped in the procession into the city, a man and two women, two large and one small, three strange people entered the city in a crowded crowd.

The reason why it is weird is mainly because these three people are more noticeable than the other. At first, a girl was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but it was neat and clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, carrying a bamboo cage that did not match her height at all, carrying a three-stringed string, and inserting a flag with black characters on a white background, and writing a book

"Begging for food with your mouth" is four vigorous characters. I have to say that the four big characters are really three points of iron hook silver into the wood, and the discerning person will know at a glance that it must be written by everyone in pen and ink, and the end can be called the dragon flying snake moving Luan and the phoenix.

It's just that the girl who asks for food is elegant and vulgar, and there are really some cows chewing peonies. Behind the girl, a man and a woman, hunched over, carrying a half-arm-thick bamboo cane, slippery on the top and shiny rivets on the bottom.

A face like dead bark, and the bundled white hair was still very messy, and it staggered after the girl.

The tall man who was only half a step behind, dressed in white and black, with two scars obliquely on his closed eyes

The character "eight" is written on the face from the center of the eyebrows to the cheekbones, which is quite terrifying. Thinking about it, he also knew that his face would cause discomfort, and the man who was taller than the hunchbacked old woman always bowed his head slightly, allowing the hair on his forehead to hide the terrible scar.

The strange trio naturally attracted the attention of the city gate captain, not the city gate guard.

Begging for food with his mouth, or a storyteller, a mouth has a lotus tongue throughout the ages, and an embroidered mouth covers thousands of years before and after.

Either it's Hanako who begs on the street for a living. Mixed in the market, the city gate captain who deals with these three religions and nine streams every day has just practiced a good trick, he is very accurate in seeing people, how vicious his eyes are, how delicate his mind is, just by looking at it, he knows that this will definitely not be a storyteller.

You must know that although the storyteller belongs to the ninth rate of the nine streams, some of them are still self-proclaimed Confucian scholars, with a literati style, and they are so high that they will not be so swaggering in embroidered clothes during the day, and they are very high.

That's called Hanako. It's just that this will be an ordinary cloth banner that Hanako can wear? The beggar gang disciples who spread all over the Great Zhou and helped tens of thousands of people, even those old people named Huazi who could take a few young beggars to beg for food, did not dare to show off so blatantly and high-profilely, or rather, it was not that they did not dare, but they couldn't.

Unless this person has reached a high status among the beggars. However, this city gate captain who is accustomed to seeing as many officials and dignitaries at the city gate every day naturally knows that as the most unpopular among the lower nine streams, he is called Huazi, don't look at the way people hate dogs all day long, but it is also a meticulous division of ranks, and the upper and lower levels are not much worse than the nine-grade official system in the imperial court.

The captain of the city gate couldn't think of what kind of identity would be called Huazi, so that he could hang such a cloth banner like those fortune tellers.

When the city gate captain's thoughts were flying, the three girls had already walked into the city gate, waving their hands to reach two from the cage on their backs, and it was very difficult, and they didn't know what to take.

Instead, the tall man reached out to help him take out a clay bowl from it, and the girl took it with her backhand, but she pouted and snorted very unhappily, ignoring the tall man's help, and looked very angry.

Attracted by the actions of these two people, the city gate captain went to look at the man who stood out in the crowd again, and saw that he had been bowing his head, coupled with the girl's swagger, the city gate captain who was over forty years old and also an old oil man came out of the street pavilion and glanced at the city gate guard who was inspecting the customs clearance.

I have been following this city gate captain for many years, and this city gate guard is naturally clear, and his subordinates are faster.

When the girl led the old woman and the tall man to the front, she listened carefully, and after listening carefully, she knew that it was the Luoli Lotus that the flower child would sing, and the clay bowl in her hand, it really confirmed the guess of the city gate captain.

"What for?" The city gate guard didn't raise his head, took the body examination handed over by the old woman and looked through it carefully, and obviously stopped in the last one, looked up at the three of them one by one, and asked: "Widow?" The gatekeeper did not hide this slightly derogatory title.

The old woman grinned, not like the neat row of white teeth that should be at this age, but it was very conspicuous, and she said, "Master Jun, visit relatives and find people." "The Great Zhou Dynasty is in the upper country, there are countless vassal states around, and Kaifeng is the accompanying capital, so it is normal for some Fanbang people in such a big city.

The city gate guard took a closer look at the body examination, then looked at the three people, his eyes stayed on the girl, and asked, "Asking for food?" The girl just pouted, disgusted by the gatekeeper's repeated insults, even as she had just treated the tall man

"Hmph" didn't bother to give it to him, just rolled his eyes widely, and with his young and immature face, it was even more cute.

The city gate guard lost his temper when he came, and instead of being angry, he laughed and said: "Yo, what does the little girl mean, did the routine inquiry throw me in the face?" The old woman was about to explain, when the city guard reached out and grabbed the girl by the shoulder, as if he wanted to drag the girl aside to teach her a lesson.

It's just that the hand is only halfway out, and it is difficult to get in. The old woman's back was hunched even more, as if she didn't see, and she moved to the side.

Even if it is called

The tall man, who was not angry, suddenly made a move at this time, as if he was shooting at random like iron tongs, so that the city gate guards could not move.

The conflict naturally attracted the attention of the people around him, but it did not cause a commotion, and the tall man raised his head, revealing two terrifying scars that slanted through his eyes.

The city gate guard obviously took a step back in fear, and with a shake of his hand in horror, the three body exams fell.

Naturally, the Captain of the City Gate was equally terrified of these two horrible scars, and the same reminded him of some of the past.

Old things. My memories are all blurry, seven years ago, there was a blind Fuying man...... I didn't dare to continue to think about it, and the city gate captain who had been mixed up for a few years bent down in a panic to pick up and check, and the two cards with He Xiaocha and Li Sui written on them quickly turned over, and carefully looked at the white body examination that was different from the local yellowing of the Great Zhou, that name, isn't it the name that caused a bloody storm in the Great Zhou seven years ago?

Forget your worries with songs. The captain of the city gate stammered,

"And... And the song too..."And the song forgot to smile lightly, closed his hand and bowed his head again,

"Master Jun, ask an old friend to lead the way to the capital, and when you pass by Kaifeng, you want to see an old friend, okay?" The city gate captain swallowed his saliva, and his speech was still unformed, as if his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't even say his name, blindly repeating what several of his subordinates around him didn't understand

"Wakata" three words. The city gate guard still wanted to speak, but the city gate captain, who was stuttering but had a good eye, pushed it aside, respectfully handed it back to the old woman, and bit his tongue before saying

"Okay", obviously it is impossible to say anything else. Waka forgets to worry and holds the name called

The girl of "Little Tea" said slowly: "Apologize." Shocked by the respectful attitude of his boss, the city gate guard obviously did not react, and was a little stunned for a while.

If it weren't for the two scars that added some terrifying aura to him, I am afraid it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a Confucian scholar, he said softly: "This is my friend, the friend who took me to the capital, you can't say that she is asking for food." "Today is gloomy, under the cold of spring, it is still precipitous, the city gate captain is sweating profusely, regardless of the surprised or puzzled eyes of the people around him, he turned around and kicked the city gate guard who was actually the one who did such a short-sighted thing in person, pressed his neck, he was also humbly bent over, and instantly remembered the name on the body test just now in his mind, and said extremely respectfully: "I'm sorry Miss He, I was not strict under the rule of the subordinates, and my words contradicted Miss He, such as..." This time, she pouted and snorted, and walked away with the clay bowl.

The old woman followed closely if she didn't care about herself. Fuying, who stepped on the turtle and crossed the sea, forgot his worries tightly, and no longer listened to the chatter of the city gatekeeper, and hurriedly followed.

It wasn't until the old man and the other walked away that the city gate captain straightened up, picked up the city gate guard who was kneeling on the ground and complained, and without the slightest embarrassment, ordered the other subordinates to continue to investigate, and dragged the city gate guard, who was already a little scolding, into the street pavilion.

"Boss." In the army, they would call their top boss in private, and the city gate guard said angrily: "What kind of person is that, and you still let me kneel, so amazing?" "The city gate captain is also atmospheric, he is so low, this city gate guard is really stupid, even if he doesn't know the identity of the other party, he can guess his status, why is he still here to say such nonsense?

It's so frightening. The city gate captain slapped the city gate guard on the waist and scolded: "Damn, who the hell did you say? Then his mother is the prince of the Japanese gim, seven years ago, you have never heard of it again, right? Even the backer king came forward to protect the person, what the hell do you say? Apparently not well aware of this old matter, the young city gate guard looked dazed, and provoked the city gate captain to curse again.

The captain of the city gate said: "Okay, I'll let Lao Zhangtou look long in a while, gather a few merchants, and take you to the restaurant at night to go to the bad luck, and I won't let you kneel in vain." The city gatekeeper, who was still thinking about who this waka forgot his worries, quickly turned his anger into joy, and it was naturally a sycophant.

It seems that the county official is not as good as the current management, and this meal is worth more than being beaten.
