The inspection outside the gate of Xinyi City was extremely meticulous and slow, and everyone was eager to check the genealogy before they could stop.

Ning He began to line up at noon until dusk, when it was his turn to be checked.

A military captain of Anxi looked at Ning He with a cold face, and an unkind look rose inexplicably in his eyes.

"Show the guide, report the name and place of origin, where you came from, where you are going, what the purpose is, and tell me in detail one by one."

While speaking in a cold voice, the captain stepped forward in person, wanting to snatch Ning He's luggage, and of course, the long sword hanging from his waist.

Ning He frowned, blocked his outstretched arm, and also said in a cold voice: "Ying'an County Lieutenant Ning He, resign and return to his hometown, it's okay to check the package, pay attention to your hands, don't stretch out." ”

As he spoke, Ning He wrapped his carry, threw it on a square table beside him, took out the guide from his arms, stretched out his hand and held it, and unfolded it in front of the captain.

The actions of the two attracted the soldiers of the Anxi Army everywhere outside the city gate, hula, drove the surrounding people back, and surrounded Ning He.

"Qiang..."The crisp golden sound sounded, and the captain directly pulled out his knife.

And Ning He's movements were faster than that, and before he could point to the tip of his sword, he had already untied the long sword and put it on the neck of the captain.

Ning He's face was sarcastic, and he sneered: "The Anxi Army is acting like this? Moreover, who gave you the right to enter the city without permission and take over the local city! ”

"If you have retired from the official body, you are a civilian, and you should know what crime you should be guilty of threatening the military attache of Daqin with weapons!" The captain was not afraid, and did not respond to Ning He's question, but scolded.

Ning He's brows furrowed more and more, and the sword-wielding hand pressed a blood mark out of his neck with a slight force.

A flash of surprise and panic flashed in the captain's eyes, and then he still said inwardly: "Abandon your weapon and be bound, you still have a chance to survive, don't insist on going your own way, and then go on by mistake!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't know how you are hostile to me, and you can't do things fairly, so find someone who can really say it. Or, see if you can keep me. ”

Ning He snorted impatiently, he didn't have so much leisure now, and he had been fighting with him here.

Similarly, he didn't really have any intention of meeting the other party first.

I also know very well that unless there are no higher-level generals in this city, otherwise, I will not easily let the conflict continue, or even turn into a bloody battle.

Sure enough, seeing that the captain couldn't handle the current situation, there was a sergeant from Anxi, and he ran quickly to the city gate.

And on the tower of the city gate, there is also a general, whose helmet is decorated with eagle feathers, shoulder swallowing, belly swallowing are all snow lion heads, a cold-forged small leaf piercing armor, full of gloom, waist thick like a barrel, face like a heavy jujube, majestic.

While walking towards Ning He and the others, he listened to the soldier's quick and detailed report.

When he came to Ning He's side, he directly reached out and grabbed Ning He's long sword, and said solemnly: "It's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to make a situation where the fish is dead and the net is broken, this will be Xiahou into the festival, it can be guaranteed, if your identity is safe, there will be no difficulty, how about it?" ”

Ning He was unmoved, his strength was lightly exhaled, and he shook Xiahou Jinjie's palm, and said, "With what he did, I don't believe in any of your promises. This is my guide, but now you are not qualified to see it. Please first issue an order for you to take over the defense of the local city, or ask the lieutenant of the county to come here for inspection. ”

The commanders of the border armies in Daqin have great powers, and they have the right to dispatch the officers and men under their command, ranging from 30,000 to 20,000 or 80,000 troops.

But this is not a right without moderation.

The marching range of the Octagon Border Army is fixed, and it never has a direct relationship with the local city.

Even if it does not have the emperor's order or holy decree, even if it holds the order of the military department, it has no right to take over all the rights of the local city when it is not defeated and retreats.

The purpose is to prevent the border generals from supporting their own troops and forming separatist forces.

Ordinary people may not know the Tao, but he knows it clearly.

"The order is not in the hands of this general, if you want to see it, you can follow me into the city, ask to see the general, and confirm it."

Xiahou Jinjie glanced at his palm, which was shocked but not scarred, his eyes were full of surprise, and he was surprised by Ning He's control.

But he still spoke in a solemn voice, and looked at Ning He with interest in his eyes, wanting to see if he really had the guts, or a paper tiger, which would break if he poked.

"Yes. But he will go with him. Ning He directly swung his sword and knocked down the long knife in the captain's hand, grabbed his throat, and dragged the person in his hand.

Such an act not only made Xiahou stagnate in the festival, but also made the people who had to be driven back start to talk about it.

There is a muttering that Ning He is young and ignorant, too wild, and destined to end no good.

There are those who have slipped around and slapped horses, and directly supported the captain of the Anxi Military Academy.

I also seriously pondered whether what Ning He said was true, and whether the Anxi Army really had an order.

Wait, wait, and so on.

And Xiahou entered the festival, but at this time, he said loudly: "Rank father and brother, the Anxi army is under the emperor's order, and there is no falsehood in strictly investigating the bandits. Tomorrow morning, it will be announced here for easy inspection. This time, I will first take this little brother to the city to ask the general to confirm the authenticity. Ben will be in the name of the general of the first army in Anxi, and hereby guarantee that after verifying the authenticity of this order, he will return to this place with this little brother, first know with Zhou Zhi, and impartially check his identity and origin on the spot, and there will be no malicious climbing. ”

Ning He is also looking for sound now, and he has a high look at his ability to do things.

Regardless of whether this person is really bright or not, as soon as his words came out, it was not only a public promise to give Ning He a meaning to ensure the safety of entering the city, but also to maintain the trust of the big guys, the Anxi Army, and the authority of the Anxi Army.

At the moment, if Ning He continued to hold on to the captain, he still seemed to be a petty family, which would inevitably lead to criticism.

Ning He smiled, didn't wait for him to turn around and say anything, sent his hand away, pushed the person to Xiahou Jinjie, took back his package with his hand, and strode towards the city gate.

"Come with me." Xiahou Jinjie glanced at the captain, said coldly, but overtook Ning He's pace and took the lead.

The lieutenant touched his neck, and was about to say something, but he received Xiahou Jinjie's warning look, and immediately swallowed it back, and followed behind with a sullen head.

Outside the city gates, the inspection of entry into the city was stopped for a while.

The people and merchants who were scrambling to pass the inspection and enter the city as soon as possible are waiting there quietly, no longer anxious, just waiting to see what the final result will be.

When Ning Hexing entered the city, he found that the city was more heavily guarded than the outside of the city, and the frequency of patrolling the streets was more frequent than in the ordinary period of the city.

As for the general of Xiahou Jinjiekou, he is the deputy marshal of the Anxi Army, the general of Jingxi, Ling Kuo.

He is a veritable veteran, who is close to the age of antiquity, and is the general of Zhenbei University, Meng Wei, compared with it, he is also a junior.

But the tiger is old and majestic, and his body is strong, not much inferior to Ning He, leaving a foot of beautiful hair, every move, all of which are awe-inspiring and powerful, ordinary people, even if they look at each other, have no courage.

"Show him." When Ling Kuo heard Xiahou's report on the festival, he took down the holy decree from the elevated shelf and ordered his own soldiers around him to show it to Ning He.

You can't get started, but after carefully reading the content of the holy decree, no one stopped him, and he didn't pass by in a flash, just give him a general glance.

Ning He was not polite, he read it carefully from beginning to end, and said suspiciously: "Sent by Xingtai?" I'm afraid Xingtai doesn't have this authority, right? ”

Ling Kuo said: "It was true that there was no before, but now, the Holy Lord has temporarily given the duties of the Taichung Shumen, and soon, there will be important ministers in the court, who will be ordered by the Holy Father to go to the Xingtai and add the ministry of the Zhongshu Sect." Do you still have objections? ”

Ning He nodded and didn't say anything more.

Ling Kuo said again: "There is no objection, provoking the court officials with white threats, questioning the law of the court, ignoring the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, and emphasizing the rod of fifty to set an example!" ”

"Wait." The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward to escort Ning He and pulled him out to fight, but he was shocked back by Ning He, looked at Ling Kuo and said: "Dare to ask the general, can there be a thief in the will, the specific identity and origin, and whether the grass people are similar to it, there is something that can be misunderstood." ”

"You come on." Ling Kuo motioned for his soldiers to stop for the time being, and pointed at the captain with his big hand.

A cold sweat appeared on the captain's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "General Qiyu, although I don't know the specific description of the bandits, but this person is full of evil spirits, and under the dust, he does not lose his sharpness. If there is indeed a suspicion, the subordinates just want to get rid of their weapons first, and then carefully investigate them, so as not to cause harm to the surrounding people. ”

Ling Kuo looked at Xiahou Jinjie, and then looked at Ning He, but he didn't say anything more.

Ning He said: "Before you draw the knife, I can report my identity and origin, can I open the road guide for you to see." If the army on the border abuses its authority and only relies on its own assumptions, how can it be said to defend the land and the people. Could it be that everyone has to be completely non-threatening in your eyes before they can be subject to normal interrogation, and the scale is not all determined by your heart, and what are the boundaries? ”

When Xiahou Jinjie heard this, he stepped forward and bowed his hand to Ling Kuo and said, "General, the last general is not strict, please punish the general." ”

He stood up, not because he recognized Ning He's actions and words.

However, according to the laws of Daqin, except for a few weapons that are not allowed to be owned, there is no prohibition on swords and other weapons.

There are so many people who wear all kinds of weapons every day.

Especially in the city of Xinyi, the merchants who come and go often hire guards, dart masters, etc., if they all act like this today, it can only make people increasingly disgusted, and it will also give rise to the arrogance of the soldiers under their command, which is extremely unfavorable to the real purpose of their visit to the city.

Ling Kuozi also understood this verse, and immediately said: "You go and take twenty military staffs by yourself, and strictly teach your subordinates, and if you commit this wrongdoing, you will be severely punished." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the lieutenant and said, "In addition, you have abused your power and caused conflicts in vain, and you should be the first to blame for this matter." He was demoted to the first rank, and he had fifty rods with the same staff, so as to set an example. ”

With that, with a wave of his big hand, several pro-soldiers walked to Ning He and the captain's side respectively.

Ning He did not resist this time, and let the two personal soldiers pull his arms, escort him out of the door, and press him on a long bench.

The lieutenant was beside him, and in the same shape, he was pressed to his stomach.
