Looking back now, Mr. Cangjie brought Hou Gang to Bayuan for training when he was young, which can be regarded as a wise move. Because Mr. Cangjie can't always stay by Hou Gang's side and keep an eye on him, the young Hou Gang may find it difficult to protect himself, and he will not be assassinated before he grows up.

And when Hou Gang returns from Ba Yuan, his ability and means will be enough to pacify everyone in the clan, and he will be able to completely control the tribe. But what if Hou Gang fails to become a talent, then Mr. Cangjie's intention is also obvious—he doesn't have to come back!

Several people came to the south gate of the city and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong. This is the hinterland of China, and it is a time of peace, and there are guards checking passers-by. The sergeant did not search for things, but only looked at people, and everyone had to look at their faces clearly, and ask what their names were, where they came from, and what they did when they entered the city.

Taiyi shook his head at Hou Gang and said, "Look at this posture, it's still coming at you." The captain of the military array may have been ordered by the city lord, if someone calls himself Hou Gang, I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the city, and if he does not do it, he will be taken down on the spot. ”

Hou Gang sneered: "I don't believe that he has so much courage, now that the news of my return has spread, if Liang Ji can intercept and kill in the middle of the secret and fails, how can he stop me in front of this city gate? Why do you do that useless work, his brain still doesn't understand!"

Huwa interjected: "How can a person with a clear mind do such a thing. ”

Hou Gang said again: "Tuo, it's up to you." ”

Hou Gang stood in the middle of the avenue, and Ji Gu walked to the city gate and shouted: "Lord Hou Gang, the head of the Hou Gang clan, has made great contributions to the country in the land of Jiuli and has been praised by the Chinese Son of Heaven, and now he has returned to his hometown with honor and arrived at the south gate of the city, and the people of the Hou Gang clan have come to meet the king!"

The cultivation of the trumbling is already very good, if it is in Ba Yuan, it can almost be mixed with a national worker, this voice has magical power, this little demon is deliberately selling cultivation, and the voice is extremely penetrating, not only in front of the city gate, but almost half of the people in the city have heard it.

This is Hou Gang's plan, directly reveal his identity and enter the city in a dignified manner, so that the city lord of Lechang can't cover it up if he wants to, and he doesn't have to embarrass those soldiers who may have been ordered to defend the city. Several soldiers defending the city were coming over to ask who they were, but they were startled by the muttering voice, and the leader of the squad leaned back and sat down without standing still.

Ignoring the gatekeepers, he stood sideways after shouting. Huwa and Taiyi were also very face-saving, one left and one right distanced, and followed Hou Gang into the city slowly. Hou Gang has even done such a big official as Jiujue Xuezheng, and he has already achieved great cultivation, if he deliberately brings out the shelf, it will also show his majesty.

There is no need to ask again, when you hear the shouting just now, you can see that this young man is Lord Hou Gang. There were already many people inside and outside the city gate, and they all turned around and saluted Hou Gang at this moment, and some people even deliberately got off the car and knelt on the ground.

Hou Gang didn't walk fast, nodded to the people around him with a smile, and from time to time leaned over the nearby elders to help him up, and said with a pleasant face: "No courtesy, no courtesy, I finally returned after thirteen years of travel, and I saw that the people in my hometown were not very kind!"

The squad leader patted his ass and got up, seeing this scene, he didn't dare to step forward to stop him after all, and it seemed that there was no need for questioning, because people had already shouted out their identities. He has received a very strange order in the past few days, the lord of the city has ordered that all pedestrians entering the city should be strictly interrogated, and if anyone dares to pretend to be Lord Hougang, they must be taken on the spot.

The squad leader muttered in his heart, who would pretend to be Lord Hou Gang, and how could he tell who was pretending? But at this moment, even if the team leader wanted to stop it, he didn't dare. Looking at this posture, it shouldn't be possible for the person who came to be pretending, otherwise how could it be so high-profile?

Hou Gang entered the city and went straight to the city lord's mansion. For more than ten years, for that era, if there were no disasters or wars, in fact, the changes were very small, and everything was almost the same as he was familiar with when he was a teenager. Along the way, people continued to salute Hou Gang, and some people spontaneously followed him, many of whom were children watching the excitement.

The city silhouette here is not much different from that on Bayuan, the entrance of the city lord's mansion is a square, and the city lord of Lechang, who got the news, has walked out of the door with two teams of guards.

Lechang's description is somewhat similar to Hou Gangyi's, but his temples are gray and his figure is a little bloated. The city lord had sweat on his head, which had just been wiped away, and now it came out again, the fat on his face twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of astonishment and resentment, obviously trying his best to control his emotions.

Le Chang didn't know that Liang Jineng had been captured, but he didn't expect that Hou Gang could not intercept Hou Gang if he missed it halfway, and he never expected that Hou Gang would enter Yincheng in this way, which caught him off guard, and many conspiracies and tricks were too late to perform.

Hou Gang walked through the square, went straight to Lechang, stopped only a zhang away, did not salute, waved his hand generously and said: "Brother Lechang, I haven't seen you for many years, I am returning to my hometown today, you don't have to be so grandly welcomed." ”

Le Chang's head was jumping, and he wanted to drink Ling Qin's guards to rush up and take Hou Gang down, or simply hack him to death, but it was impossible to do so in front of everyone's eyes, so he had to say in a deep voice: "Are you really Hou Gang?" This question was not kind at all, there was no surprise after the reunion of relatives after a long absence, but with a strong questioning tone.

"Are you blind? My Hou Gang clan's monarch is back, Le Chang, why are you still stuck here and stunned, why don't you hurry up and welcome Lord Hou Gang into the city lord's mansion?" As he spoke, three people came over from the crowd, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy supported an elder with a white beard, and a middle-aged man next to him.

Hou Gang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle Xian, your old man is here?...... Brother Shiji, is this your son Ah Dong, who has grown so big!"

Although Hou Gang is not very old, his seniority in the clan is indeed very high, and on the way into the city, many gray-haired old men are his juniors. Among the clansmen of his generation, the youngest is over forty years old, and he is the Hou Shiji in front of him.

Hou Shiji and Hou Lechang are the two people who have titles in the clan in addition to the monarch. And Hou Xian, the father of Hou Shiji, is the only elder of Hou Gang who is still alive in the clan, and Hou Gang has to call him uncle. It was Hou Xian who opened his mouth to scold Hou Lechang just now.

Hou Xian grabbed Hou Gang's arm, his eyes were wet with excitement, he looked left and right, and pinched Hou Gang's body from time to time, and said with emotion: "Hou Gang, it's really you, your appearance has hardly changed at all, but you have grown up, and I finally look forward to your return......"

After chattering for a long time, Hou Xian seemed to suddenly remember something, took two steps back, patted his grandson and said, "Don't hurry up to meet the king!" The three of them saluted together: "Meet the king!" Hou Xian bowed with a cane, Hou Shiji reached the ground, and Xiao Hou Dong knelt on the ground.

Hou Gang hurriedly supported Hou Xian, and pulled the other two up in turn: "Uncle doesn't need to be polite, you are an elder, I should give you a salute!"

Hou Xian smiled happily: "It's okay for you to kowtow to me on weekdays, but when you meet the monarch, the number of etiquette can't be messed up!" Then he suddenly turned around, raised the crutches in his hand and hit Le Chang and said, "Are you standing so stupidly?"

Le Chang dodged, almost twisted his waist, and glared fiercely at the captain of the guards beside him, and all the guards looked away innocently. As a personal guard, of course, he has the duty to defend the lord to the death, but the city lord of Lechang was taught a lesson by his own parents, and they are not easy to interfere.

Le Chang took a step back, as if he had suddenly made a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "My Hou Gang clan leader has not returned for many years, how can this person suddenly appear in Yincheng and call himself Hou Gang, how can we confirm it?

He was busy with his mind, and he was simply sideways, planning to deny it first, and wanted to wait for Liangji to get the news and rush to deal with it. And with Liang Jineng's ability, of course, he can restrain Hou Gang and let him do whatever he wants. Lechang had just been privately reminded by the captain of the personal guard that among Hou Gang and the other four people, only the guards were quite difficult to deal with, and the other three were ordinary people.

Hou Xian pointed at Le Chang's face with a cane and said, "I just said that you are blind, you are really blind!

If you are taken away when you are a child and do not come back until you are about thirty years old, no one will really recognize you if you don't have any special markings. But Hou Gang was fifteen years old when he left his hometown, and now although he has lost his childishness, his appearance has not changed much, and those who are familiar with him can still recognize it.

But Lechang has already made up his mind to mess around, as the lord of the city, if he doesn't recognize Hou Gang, he is the most noble person here, and he also holds the military and political power of the city, and no one can do anything about him.

Le Chang looked at Hou Xian and said, "Uncle Clan, you are old, and it is inevitable that you will be dizzy with old eyes. There are many similar descriptions in the world, and the stakes are very high, and we must carefully screen them. If it is really Hou Gang, I would like to apologize for today's events, but here and now, I must first verify my identity. ”

Then he turned to Hou Gang and said: "In your descendant, since you claim to be the head of my Hou Gang clan, what evidence do you have? And Hou Gang has been in exile for thirteen years, and anything can happen. ”

Ji Gu couldn't help but scold: "You are really shameless! As soon as you open your mouth, you say that you don't even count the tokens, and the words of the clan elders don't count, and you want Lord Hou Gang to prove that you are Hou Gang." I'd like to ask you, how is this supposed to be proved?"

The captain of the personal guard stepped forward and scolded: "Be bold, don't be rude to the city lord!"

Gu also scolded: "Be bold, don't be rude to the monarch!" The guards were also a little hairy in their hearts, but they just bluffed, but they didn't dare to do anything. Ji Gu pointed at Le Chang and said, "Let me ask you, but tell me, what evidence do you want?"

Lechang: "How do I know, you need to prove it yourself. ”

Hou Gang smiled coldly, took out an object and said, "This is a token from the Emperor Danzhu, to prove that I helped him make meritorious contributions to the country in the land of Jiuli." But now it seems that this thing only proves this, but not my identity. Uncle Xian, please gather the elders of the clan to gather in the ancestral land. Lord Shi Huang left a shrine back then, and only I could open it. (To be continued.) )
