"Huh~"

More than a dozen soldiers defending the city suddenly poked out the spears in their hands in unison, and saw the young man sitting on the ground, unable to bear such a solemn breath, and hurriedly used his hands and feet together, and retreated trembling backwards.

The hundreds of people who were waiting to leave the city were also startled by the sharp black spears and took a few steps back.

I saw a general standing at the forefront of the city, the tip of his spear pointed straight at the young man sitting on the ground not far away, and said in a cold tone:

"This is the important place of the city gate, and before the specified time to open the door, any trespasser will be killed!"

The words of the general defending the city were like a spear that flashed with cold light, so that all the people present were frightened, and they all bowed their heads deeply, not daring to look at it, and the people watching the play were still like this, seeing that the young man was like a chicken in the water, his back was soaked with cold sweat, and his eyes showed a strong color of fear.

After seeing the young man crawling three feet away from the city gate, the general guarding the city put away his spear, saw him wave his hand, and the rest of the soldiers immediately returned to their posts in an orderly manner, and stood in two rows on the left and right sides of the city gate.

His eyes were full of fear that he couldn't hide, and he stood up with one hand on the ground, seeing that his whole body trembled and stood up, although it was shabby, but it was a very white robe, and it was also stained with a large amount of dust.

The calloused fingers, clenching the robe next to the legs, and the knuckles were pinched white, the man in green clothes glanced at the south gate full of soldiers, and quickly withdrew his gaze:

"I, what should I do, breaking into the city gate is a big crime to kill the head, but, but, my mother's illness can't wait......"

The young man stood there for a moment, then his gaze hardened, as if he had made up his mind.

I wanted to take a deep breath to strengthen my courage, but because of the irrepressible fear, it turned into intermittent sobbing, and the robe was tightly clutched in the palm of his hand, and the young man slowly raised his foot and took a small wrong step forward.

Although it was only a small step, the people present still sensed the young man's intention, and this person even wanted to break into the city gate!

The people were in an uproar, in broad daylight, someone dared to challenge the authority of the government, it was really shocking, a year ago, the rich businessman, was also afraid of the enemy's pursuit and killing, so he wanted to escape in the middle of the night to live, and today the sun is hanging high, everyone is watching, and I don't know what kind of bear heart leopard gall this young man ate, and committed such a major crime of killing the head!

"Is this person going to die?! and dare to provoke those errand boys?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know what this kid is thinking, the people of the government, can we ordinary people afford to mess with it......"

"Hmph, I still have three truckloads of goods to be sent to Linxian, if something happens to this blind bastard, the south city gate will definitely not be able to go, this from the north gate, there will be more than ten miles of detour, what should I do if the goods are delayed?

"That's right, isn't this delaying the time of all of us, I still have to say that the mountain chops firewood in the morning, I went late, and I was robbed of the mountain by others, and the food money for this day will be wasted!"

"I wish I could kill this kid!"

The people whispered and whispered, and some vicious words reached the ears of the young man, but he did not have the heart to argue with these people at this time, but he saw that he bowed his head slightly, and with every small step, the sackcloth shoes on his feet rubbed against the ground......

The general defending the city naturally noticed the young man's actions, and the eyes of the general defending the city were slightly condensed, and he secretly clenched the spear in his hand.

"呲~呲~"

The soles of his linen shoes cut across the rocky, uneven ground, and the young man shifted inch by inch toward the city gate, which was full of soldiers.

What the young man did, in the eyes of the people, is no different from self-defeat, seeing a village woman carrying a vegetable basket in the crowd, standing on tiptoe, looking curiously outside, and then saw her patting the old man beside her with her hand, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"Alas, come and see, is that person Zhang Laosan's son?"

The old man was already a little old, his back was crooked, and his wrinkled face was full of doubts:

"What?

The village woman also seemed a little anxious:

"Oh, it's the neighbor who lives in your house, Zhang Butcher, Zhang Laosan, wasn't he killed by a cow many years ago, don't you remember?"

The old man thought for a moment, and then suddenly said:

"Oh, oh, I remember, it's that Zhang Laosan, what's wrong?"

"The person who is going to break into the city gate is the son of Zhang Laosan's family!"

When the old man heard this, his body immediately stiffened in shock, and then he grabbed the village woman's arm and asked in a trembling tone:

"Do you see clearly, is it really the child of the three Zhang brothers?"

The village woman nodded affirmatively:

"Can't be wrong, can't be wrong!"

The old man's palms trembled uncontrollably, and he muttered to himself:

"No, no, the third brother Zhang is over half a hundred years old, only to have such an only son, this has not yet enjoyed the blessing, there was an accident, Zhang San and I worshipped, burned the incense candle brothers, the fourth brother I also took care of and grew up, I can't watch the fourth child be confused, jumped into the fire pit. ”

The old man's voice sounded very old, and when he saw him, he hurriedly pushed aside the flow of people in front of him, and staggered to the front of everyone.

There was only a slightly thin back that caught his eye, but the old man still recognized who it was:

"Little four, little four!"

I saw the young man who was about to walk to the city gate paused, and then slowly turned around:

"Grandpa Liu?"

The old man hurriedly ran to the young man's side in three steps and two steps, and panted and persuaded:

"Little four, what are you doing, breaking into the city gate is a big crime to kill your head, you are dead, what can your mother do?"

The young man could not hold back any longer, hot tears came out of his eyes, and when he saw him grasping the old man's arm with both hands, he said in a low voice:

"Grandpa Liu...... I'm doing this for my mother!"

"Anyway, even if I die today, I have to get medicine for my mother!"

The young man's tone was very firm, and he saw that he let go of his hands and walked towards the city gate on his own.

The old man's eyes, which were already a little cloudy, stared at the emaciated back of the young man, and couldn't help but sigh and sigh:

"Alas, Brother Zhang, you have given birth to a good son!"

Because of the recent appearance of the ancient city in the mountains and forests of Qionghai, the small half of the martial arts were shaken, and Hongtian specially ordered the elite army to be stationed at the city gate for the sake of the warriors who had recently entered the city, so as to deter the young people who wanted to stir up trouble.

The closer the young man got to these soldiers, the more he could feel the murderous aura emanating from them, making his heart beat like thunder, as if he was in a cold ice cellar.

Seeing the young man getting closer and closer to the city gate, the general defending the city took the lead and stopped in front of the young man, and the sound of armor colliding with each other couldn't help but make people feel cold.

"Ben Jiang has already said that if you dare to take another step forward, don't blame Ben for the spear in Ben General's hand for being merciless!"

After the general defending the city said that, he suddenly turned the black spear in his hand, and the snowy head of the spear flashed with a hint of cold light in the dazzling sunlight.

Facing the generals who galloped out of the battlefield, the young man trembled like chaff, and then saw him pounce on his knees and kneel in front of the general.

"What do you mean by that?"

The general couldn't help frowning.

I saw that the young man immediately kowtowed and saluted, and his voice trembled, and he couldn't help but stammer:

"Big, big, adult, the grass people's name is Zhang Si, even if I give me a hundred guts, I don't dare to break into the city gate, today is also for the grass people's mother, I have to do it!"

"The mother of the grass people had an emergency a few days ago, and the grass people sold all the cattle and sheep in the family, so they asked for a life-saving herb, and now the mother has only one breath left, and the doctor said that if you can't take the hanging herbs within half an hour, your life will definitely be lost!"

The young man named Zhang Si sobbed as he spoke, and saw him kneeling on the ground, lying at the feet of the general, and constantly kowtowing and saluting.

Hearing Zhang Si's intentions, the general gradually put away a little murderous aura, but he was still wary of the strange man in front of him:

"Since you're looking for medicine for your mother, why don't you go to the prescription, why are you here at the South City Gate?"

Zhang Si hurriedly raised his head and saw that his forehead was red:

"Big, adult, my mother only has half an hour left, and within half an hour, the grass people must get the herbs to save their mother's life!"

"Now the person who delivered the medicine is outside the city gate, he is the cousin of the grass people, I hope that the adults will be merciful and can open the city gate to send the herbs in, and the grass people Zhang Si will be grateful, grateful!"

The general defending the city was in trouble for a while, and he didn't know whether to help Zhang Si, so he was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Si hurriedly said:

"My lord, the grass people don't need to go out of the city gate, just open a gap in the city gate and send the herbs in!"

"The grass people's cousin is outside the city gate now!"

After Zhang Si finished speaking, he saw that he hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice:

"Li Yi, Li Yi, hurry up and reply!"

Outside the south gate, a man dressed in sackcloth, holding a long wooden box with an anxious look on the front, wandered back and forth outside the city gate.

"What's the matter, why hasn't my cousin come yet!"

Just when he was anxious, he heard a familiar voice in his ears, and the man in sackcloth couldn't help but smile, and then knocked on the city gate with his hand, and responded loudly:

"Cousin, cousin, is it you, I received the letter from you, and I came with herbs non-stop, how is my aunt now?!"
