Chapter 76: Banquet

On the evening of June 23, outside Lingwu County.

Ji Linsheng stopped walking in the air more than ten miles outside the city, found a place that was not very conspicuous and landed, and then blended into the official road.

Due to the heavy rain for several days, the official road itself was not easy to walk, and there were few pedestrians, but it also made it convenient for him to spread his body and hurry quickly, until he judged that he was about to enter the line of sight of the city gate guards, and then slowed down and pretended to be an ordinary passerby.

He stretched out an oil-paper umbrella, rubbed his boots in the mud, and even threw some mud spots on his body, plus the bag he was carrying and some loose hair, he looked like a dusty man.

He deliberately bypassed the east gate of Lingwu County, Dingding Gate, and changed to this east gate with a moderate flow of people, just to avoid possible gaze to the greatest extent, and Lingwu County needed to act in concealment.

As he approached slowly, his face gradually became gloomy, for he saw a group of people dressed in fine clothes gathering in small groups and talking in low voices at the east gate, and a bad feeling rose from his heart.

But at this time, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and if he turned around and turned back, it would be even more conspicuous, and he could only move forward step by step, hoping that these people were better not what he thought.

One of the people in the group of people dressed in fancy clothes did not talk to the others, but just stood quietly, asking the guards around him from time to time if they had found it, and after getting a negative answer, he did not rush at all, and continued to stand quietly, looking very patient.

The others didn't take the initiative to talk to him, but from time to time they looked at the movements on his side, and it was obvious that that person's status should be the highest in the group.

The guards beside him had serious faces and piercing eyes, and their eyes roamed over the people who were about to enter the city, with a heavy scrutiny.

His gaze lingered for a long time on everyone who was ready to enter the city, and he looked through everyone's clothing, hair bun, physique, stride, etc., from top to bottom, as if it were not enough to find the person he was looking for.

Suddenly, the man's eyes lit up, he saw Ji Linsheng disguised as a passerby, in order to prevent himself from admitting his mistake, he turned his back and seemed to do something, and then turned around again, lowered his head and approached the leader, and whispered a few words.

Pretending to be in a normal hurry, but actually secretly paying attention to the movement here, Ji Linsheng's heart sank, he knew that his camouflage skills were very good, but he was not so good that the experts stared at him and couldn't see the flaws.

The guard was clearly examining everyone who came and went, and without concealing it, coupled with the way he had just behaved, it was obvious that he was recognized, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, in case he was searching for a fugitive or something.

Of course, he himself knew that there was almost no such possibility, and whoever was chasing a fugitive would let such a group of people who were in a high position at a glance stand at the gate of the city to blow the wind.

Sure enough, the actions of the leader in the next moment confirmed the bad conjecture in his heart.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly twice, and the group of people who were still talking heard him speak, and almost instantly stopped the topic they were talking about, whether they were talking about whose horse and horse or the girl Shui Ling of which restaurant they were talking about, they all stopped immediately without hesitation, waiting for the person's next instructions.

When the man saw that they were all quiet, he just glanced at him, and everyone understood what he meant, and slowly gathered behind the man in groups of three or two, and after each of them had stood where he should be, he followed the man's gaze to a place outside the city.

And the place where the eyes converged was where Ji Linsheng was, and Ji Linsheng's heart sank completely when he saw this.

It wasn't until he walked to the city gate that he saw the leader with a smiling face and said loudly: "Welcome to the inspection of Lord Ji of the School Palace, Lord County Shou is ill and unable to move, so I am specially ordered to wait here to greet Lord Ji." ”

"Oh?" Ji Linsheng remained silent and asked in a calm tone, "How do you know that I am coming to Lingwu County?" ”

The man arched his hand and said: "Today, the county guard saw a group of magpies flying in the sky, which happened to land at the gate of the county guard's mansion. ”

"Ji is not happy to come." Ji Linsheng said lightly, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, and he only asked again, "Who are you?" ”

"In Xia Bu Zhuolin, he is the first master of the county guard, and he has no official or position."

"Oh? Your surname is Bu? Ji Linsheng was slightly moved.

"It's just that it just happens to have the same surname as Wu Yuanbo's Bu family." The master chuckled, and there seemed to be something else in his smile.

After laughing, he tilted his head slightly and handed a color to the person behind him: "Why are you so ignorant if you don't go to take the luggage for Master Ji?" ”

Then he turned his head again, and said with a smile: "Master Ji, we have already prepared a banquet, and we can start the banquet as soon as you arrive, please." ”

When his words fell, a luxurious carriage drove out of the city, stopped at the city gate, and the next person half-bowed down next to the carriage to open the curtain and wait for Ji Linsheng to enter.

The light in Ji Linsheng's eyes flickered, and he didn't answer for a while.

Bu Zhuolin was not in a hurry, still smiling, not changing in any way because of the coldness, and waited quietly, just as he had waited under the city gate in the first place.

After a long time, Ji Linsheng spoke: "You don't have to take the car." ”

Bu Zhuolin's smile did not change, he turned his head to look at the guard, and said in a low voice: "Don't hurry up and lead the horse to Master Ji." ”

When the guard heard this, he immediately ran to the city gate, and with the reins in one hand and the saddle in the other, he led a big red horse with a divine steed, as if it was because the horse was so strong that it was led in such a strange position.

When the horse was led, Ji Linsheng avoided the subordinates who wanted to help him with his luggage, stood up on the spot, and fell straight onto the back of the maroon red horse.

He didn't mean to wait for these people, so he knocked the horse's belly lightly and entered the city first.

Bu Zhuolin kept smiling until Ji Linsheng had already entered the city, then he put away his smile, his eyes swept around the faces of the others, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

These people are all Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Tian, etc. in the city, and they have real power in their hands, but they seem to be the head of this master Bu, and they only returned to their carriages when they heard his order, and they made a mighty return journey.

Now that his identity has been recognized, Ji Linsheng has to be arranged by them, the wine is good wine, and the banquet is a good banquet, but the person who set up the banquet is probably not well-intentioned.

During the banquet, he never had any expression, he ate three or two bites of food, but not a drop of wine, no matter what horses these people photographed, he laughed at it, seeing this appearance, no one came to toast without interest, and no one dared to ask anything.

It didn't take long for the banquet to disperse in such a hasty manner.
