Chapter 117: Gambling (2nd Watch)
The group crossed several streets, and the galloping horses made a crisp sound of stepping on the wide streets of Jianye City, and the pedestrians on the streets had long been accustomed to the crossing of galloping horses, and they were very comfortable to give way to the road, allowing the horses to pass by their side like the wind.
And when the horses passed by them, they looked at the group with some surprise, the tall horses of the Great Wall were very eye-catching, and the magnolia with a horsetail floating in the air on it was heroic.
Many people have seen the scene of the Great Wall and the Canghai envoy entering the city, and the current head of the Mu family, the great general of the Great Wall army, is naturally impressive. Who qualifies to go toe-to-toe with her?
Gao Changgong's handsome face, which was not like a mortal, naturally answered the questions in many people's hearts, and also gave their originally calm hearts a lot of waves.
The city gate continued to zoom in his sight, and Qin Ke became more and more unclear about what Gao Changgong wanted to do. There is no problem for him to go to the Great Wall Mission to find Mulan to catch up with the past, and now there is no problem for Zongma and Mulan to go out of the city together.
But what is the matter with him and Abu? And now there is Su Dingfang, who is also riding a horse behind him, which makes him a little confused.
"Where are we going?" Qin Ke asked.
"You're not going to be a parrot, are you?" Gao Changgong said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Qin Ke was puzzled.
Approaching the city cave, Gao Changgong slowed down the speed of his war horse, and the horseshoe sounded on the ground, he squinted his eyes, and screeched to imitate the sound of birds: "Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going?"
Qin Ke finally understood the meaning of Gao Changgong's words, and said angrily: "Obviously, you have to run around with us, and you say that I am a parrot." ”
"The little boy doesn't know where to go, so follow the adults first. Gao Changgong smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Taixuetang, I have already helped both of you ask for leave, at least before you go back to the city, you don't need to go back to read those 'Zhihu Ye'." ”
Qin Ke sensed something in Gao Changgong's words, and looked at him suspiciously: "Go back to the city, are we going out for a long time?"
"How many hours?" Gao Changgong laughed, "Ten days and half a month." ”
Abu said in a daze: "Ten days and half a month, what are you going to do?" He knew that Gao Changgong was busy, as a general of Jing Wu, the significance of training the army was extraordinary, and he could be said to be personally involved.
But what's going on today?
"Wherever he says, you say what's going to do. Gao Changgong pursed his lips and smiled, "You are really a pair of brothers." But am I just that like a human trafficker?"
Mulan said softly: "Your tall general invited me to watch the scenery of Jingwu, I made a bet with him, if he wins, I will walk with him." If I win, you two will go with me to the Great Wall. ”
"What? Go to the Great Wall?" Qin Ke was frightened, although he longed for the grasslands in the north, but he never thought of going to the Great Wall, where birds don't—oh, it's not that birds don't, where are there more troublesome things than birds, such as the legendary fierce beast Blood Demon whose blood is highly poisonous, and the legendary night demon who rises day and night, and whose body is as soft as water but can entangle people to death like a python.
He glared angrily at Gao Changgong: "If you bet with him, you can bet, what are you going to do with us?"
Gao Changgong looked at Mulan and said helplessly, "Hey, hey." There's no such thing in the gambling contract, and I really look like a bad person when you say that. ”
"You're not a good person in the first place. Qin Ke muttered, but knowing that Mulan was just making a small joke, his heart was a little relieved, "So, what did you bet?" Qin Ke squinted at Mulan, thinking to himself that if you couple want to go out to play, what do you have to do with yourself if you want to make such trouble?
"You'll find out in a moment. Why, you don't want to go together?" Gao Changgong said.
"Hmm...... It's not impossible. "Watching the scenery of Jingwu, Qin Ke is not rejected, not to mention that studying and studying in the Taixue Hall these days is indeed a bit boring.
"It's not that it can't, it's okay. Gao Changgong laughed, anyway, he didn't plan to ask Qin Ke's opinion, it really can't be done, just grab this kid and spank him, and keep him obedient.
For managing children, because he has so many younger brothers at home, he has a lot of experience.
The city gate checkpoint is still severe these days, which shows that the assassination of Zhuge Wanling is still far-reaching today. However, when Gao Changgong and Mulan approached, the guards at the city gate all knelt down in an instant.
Mulan was expressionless, naturally knowing that these Jing Wu's guards would not be kneeling on their knees. And Gao Changgong just said softly: "Kneel for what? stand up." I don't wear armor, let alone court clothes, so I am different from the common people? You have a heavy burden on your shoulders and do your duty, is it possible that I will punish you for not kneeling?"
"Yes!" the guards raised their heads, their heads held high, eager to shout, and their eyes were a little excited.
Qin Ke saw that the person in the first place was the soldier commander who had entered Jianye City for the first time to inspect his belongings, and when his gaze stayed on him for a long time, the soldier also looked at Qin Ke's not tall figure, his eyes widened.
Obviously he was just a traveling bachelor from a foreign country, and it had only been more than a month, and he was already a rider behind Gao Changgong, but when he saw the Taixue Hall clothes that Qin Ke was wearing, he suddenly understood. Even if it is a new national who has migrated from another country, as long as they are selected, they can sit in that school and study their homework.
Although the students of the Taixue Hall have no merit on them, who doesn't know that these people who built Yecheng will definitely be the mainstay of the Jingwu Temple in the future?
This made him a little embarrassed, people in this world are different after all, I think at the beginning, he secretly listened to a lecture outside the window of the private school, was found by his father who sold meat, was carried home by his ears, and beat him severely: "Do you want to study? What is the use of studying? In this world, the officials are all the children of the scholars, even if you read more, can you rob them from them? It is better to sell meat at home with me, people can not be officials, but they can't not eat, even if selling meat is vulgar, but it is a way to live, understand?"
But he refused to stop there, and still insisted on secretly going to the class, and now he can work at the gate of the city and serve as the commander of the army, in fact, it is also because he was able to read the customs clearance documents by eavesdropping on the lectures of the private school.
Later, under the new policy implemented by Prime Minister Zhuge Wu, there were also some children from poor families who entered the temple, and his father gradually regretted that he should have sent him to study more in the first place, maybe now he should be more promising.
But he doesn't care much about it now, even if he is a gatekeeper, we can see the gate of Jianye City!
Out of the city, Qin Ke and his party did not set foot on the official road, but walked towards the uneven path, in the distance of them, the undulating hills and the endless forest.
Qin Ke heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, he turned his head, and a cavalry army of nearly a hundred people didn't know when they followed Gao Changgong out of the city, their queue was neat, and even the footsteps of the horses were surprisingly consistent between the attacks. They were dressed in uniform back cowhide armor, and their black cloaks fluttered in the wind.
The most surprising thing is that their faces are covered with a mask of blue fangs, and when they rise and fall with the leap of their horses, and against the black cloak, they look like a group of terrible goblins thinking about the approaching crowd.
Qingzhou ghost ride.
