Chapter Seventy-Four: Return to the City to Renovate and Set Off Again
Everyone rode back to Dunhuang County, when they came to the city gate, they found that the west city gate had been closed, and the city wall was full of city guards. ”
Gu Zhen'er looked at the person shouting on the city wall, and urged the horse to step forward and shouted loudly: "Excuse me, open the city gate, we are the ones who came back to report the news just now, the Turkic team in front has been wiped out by us, and now we need to go back to the city to repair." ”
The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Gu Zhen'er's words, as if they didn't believe what the people under the city said, and the leader before thought for a while and shouted: "The people under the city report their names, we need to confirm it." ”
"On the other side, do you still remember the officials?"
At this time, a soldier heard the three words of the other side, hurriedly leaned on the battlements and looked down, and then shouted excitedly to the leader: "Head, open the door quickly, I recognize the woman shouting below, just now she and another girl escorted the fleeing people back." ”
When the leader heard this, he hurriedly called to his soldiers and said, "Quickly open the city gate and let them in." ”
Seeing that the soldiers on the city wall were busy for a while, Chu Mofeng and the others slowly urged their horses to come to the gate of the West City Gate, only to hear a long squeak, the gate slowly opened, and everyone hurriedly entered when they saw this, and after all six people came in, they only heard a bang, and the gate slowly closed again.
At this time, a soldier walked up to several people and asked with a puzzled face: "A few heroes, was that Turkic squad outside the city really wiped out by you?"
Chu Mofeng turned over and dismounted and hugged his fist at this person and said: "The children of the rivers and lakes will not lie, this is the armor, weapons and horses of the Turks, please check it by the official." Then he motioned to Shi Hanshuang and others to show the captured materials to the soldier for inspection.
After taking a closer look, the soldier waved at Chu Mofeng and said, "The villain thanked a few heroes for the people of the city. ”
"No thanks, can we leave now?" waving his hand at the soldier, Chu Mofeng asked with a smile.
"A few heroes, please take care of yourself, and the small ones will not delay a few people's time, and say goodbye. With that, the soldier turned and walked towards the wall.
Six people rode horses to the door of the inn, tied the horses to the side and walked into the inn with their feet, the innkeeper saw that it was Chu Mofeng, and hurriedly greeted Chu Mofeng and said: "Hero, you can be regarded as back, several chivalrous things villains have heard of, from today onwards a few in the small shop is responsible for all the application of the small shop, Wan Wang a few do not shirk, it can be regarded as a small chat to show their hearts." ”
After Chu Mofeng, Liu Feiyan and the others glanced at each other, they nodded slowly and said: "The shop doesn't have to be like this, it is our duty to walk the rivers and lakes to hoe the strong and help the weak, not to mention such a major event as resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, since we were born as the people of the Great Sui, we must make some contributions to the Great Sui." ”
The shopkeeper saw Chu Mofeng's resignation, and was about to say something more, only to hear Shi Hanshuang on the other side say: "Shopkeeper, we appreciate your kindness, but we still have a small request, I hope you can agree." ”
"Cheng, girl, if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as the shop can do it, you will be satisfied. Hearing Chu Mofeng and the others make a request, the shopkeeper hurriedly hugged his fists and said excitedly.
"Can you provide us with a bathing place, and feed our horses by the way, for tomorrow morning we will leave the city for Iwu County, which is also said to have been plundered by the Turks, and we will go and investigate. Shi Hanshuang said to the shopkeeper a little mischievously, "Also, I'm a little hungry." ”
When the shopkeeper heard the request made by Chu Mofeng and others, he thought: What kind of request is this, this is the most basic service in the store, which shows that these people are indeed chivalrous people. Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he said to Shi Hanshuang: "Cheng, girl, don't worry, the shower room of the small shop is only open to a few people today, and a few people can use it as they want. ”
Chu Mofeng, Shi Hanshuang and the others hugged their fists at the shopkeeper, and then went up to the second floor one after another, returned to the room to unload the weapons, and wrapped the seized items, Chu Mofeng turned around and went downstairs again, and after inquiring about the location of the market from the shopkeeper, he walked out of the gate and took the captured horses and walked towards the market.
At this time, Shi Hanshuang, Liu Feiyan and others came to the outside of the bathing room, lined up to prepare for a bath, Liu Feiyan walked in first, and after a while, he poked his head out of the door and said to the other four people: "Come in together, his bathing room is a large room that can accommodate four or five people at a time." ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly dodged into the shower, and then plugged in the door bolt, only to hear the sound of undressing and striping themselves, and after peeling themselves naked, the usual killing god instantly turned into a handsome girl's house, and after cleaning the dust and blood of the body, the five people also returned to their original crystal clear complexion.
After a bath, the five of them came to the lobby, and at this time, the shopkeeper saw that several girls had finished bathing, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "A few people will do it first, and the table will be prepared later." After speaking, he pointed to a slightly larger table in the center of the lobby and motioned for Shi Hanshuang and the others to sit down first.
After a few people sat down, Chen Jingqing raised his head and asked, "Shopkeeper, where is the man who is with us?"
The young man inquired about the location of the bazaar, and then went out with his baggage. ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Mofeng walked in with a small burden outside the door of the inn, went straight to the table, threw the burden in his hand on the table, and then said to Liu Feiyan: "Which of the four of you was responsible for the accounts before? This is the money for today's seized items, you take it, I'll go take a bath first." Then he walked in the direction of the shower.
At this time, Liu Feiyan stared at the burden on the table, and said to Chen Jingqing: "Qinqing, the money is collected, wait for this trip to return to Zhangye, and then divide it equally according to the old rules." ”
Chen Jingqing picked up the burden and nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Feiyan, I'll go up and put the burden away first, you wait for a while." After saying that, he got up and walked to the guest room on the second floor.
After Chu Mofeng's bathing was over, Chen Jingqing also returned to the lobby, and everyone sat around the table and waited for the shopkeeper to arrange the banquet, and then began to eat like a gust of wind, during the banquet, Chu Mofeng said to everyone: "At the beginning of tomorrow, we will set off for Yiwu County, I estimate that the road will not be very peaceful, so everyone must be on guard to avoid unnecessary danger." ”
"Brother Chu, what if we encounter the large army of the Eagle Division?" Liu Feiyan looked at the wine and food in front of him, and asked with a slightly solemn look on his face.
"If you encounter a large force of the Eagle Division, try to annihilate them one by one on a long line, otherwise we will not have an advantage in a head-on conflict, remember not to fall in love with the war, just let me arrange everything. Remembering what he had explained to himself before going out this time, Chu Mofeng hurriedly said to everyone: "The Turks are good at using bows and arrows, and they are not weak in kung fu immediately, so if you encounter a large army, I will cover you with crossbow arrows and darts." ”
After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to prepare, and Chu Mofeng left the inn again and walked towards the barracks in the city, and when they came to the gate of the barracks, two sentry soldiers stopped Chu Mofeng's footsteps and said to him: "Who trespassed on the camp for no reason?"
"The two officials, the villain's surname is Chu and Mofeng, and they have come to meet General Li Lin Li, please give me a message, and say that the old man is visiting. ”
One of the soldiers said coldly, "You wait here, and I'll report to the general." After speaking, he walked towards the camp, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the soldier ran out and said to Chu Mofeng, "Come in with me, the general wants to see you." ”
Chu Mofeng hurriedly took out a half-hanging money from his arms and stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and whispered: "This is a filial piety for the two of you to buy tea, please smile." ”
Seeing Chu Mofeng like this, the soldier hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Little brother, you are too polite, let's go, I'll take you in." As a result, Chu Mofeng handed over the money, and the soldier hurriedly led Chu Mofeng to the general's big tent, and shouted inside: "General, I brought the people, and the small one retired first." ”
But I heard a majestic voice from inside the tent saying, "Let him in." ”
Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain and walked in, only to see a burly man about forty years old standing in the big tent, and when he saw Chu Mofeng coming in, he looked up and asked: "Boy, who are you, if you can't tell what you mean, I don't mind letting the soldiers arrest you and serve you." ”
"Uncle Li, kid Gao Wencheng pays a visit to Uncle Li. After Chu Mofeng stood still, he hurriedly knelt down and clasped his fists at the general and said.
Hearing Gao Wencheng's three words, Li Lin couldn't help but gasp and said, "Ling Zun is the late Shangshu Zuo Servant Gao Xigao?"
"It's my father, Uncle Li is fine. When Chu Mofeng saw Li Lin mention his father's name, he knew that what he had asked for this time could be fulfilled.
"Boy, you are still alive, how is your mother now?" After hearing that it was an old man, Li Lin hurriedly stepped forward and took Chu Mofeng's hand and asked.
"Mother is fine, and Uncle Li is worried. ”
"Sit down, after so many years, every time I dream back at midnight, I can still remember the voice and smile of adults, you have grown so big, I remember that you were still a baby when adults set wine for you. Looking at the person in front of him who looked a little similar to Gao Xi, Li Lin couldn't help but burst into tears.
The two looked at each other quietly for a while, and Li Lin suddenly remembered that Chu Mofeng must have something to ask for this time, wiped a handful of tears and said, "Boy, you came to my camp today, do you need my help with something?"
"So that Uncle Li knows, the little nephew came here to borrow two items from Uncle Li, I wonder if it is convenient for Uncle Li?" Chu Mofeng saw Li Lin asking himself, and hurriedly explained his intentions.
"You say, I'll listen and make a decision. If it's contraband, I can't give it to you. Hearing Chu Mofeng asking himself to borrow something, Li Lin couldn't help frowning.
"Four hundred thistles, two pairs of bows and crossbows, and fifty crossbow arrows, I wonder if it is convenient for Uncle Li?" said the items he needed, Chu Mofeng looked up at Li Lin, and there was a longing look in his eyes.
"What do you kid want these things for?" Li Lin asked with a sigh of relief when he heard that these were these two objects.
Chu Mofeng told Li Lin everything that happened outside the city today, after listening to it, Li Lin frowned and did not speak, and Chu Mofeng was not in a hurry, he sat aside and waited quietly for Li Lin's reply, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Lin stood up and said to Chu Mofeng: "I can only give you one bow and crossbow, can I give you twenty more crossbow arrows?"
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly got up and made a gesture to Li Lin and said, "The little nephew has thanked Uncle Li here." ”
"Needless to say thank you, I was brought out by your father before, and if it wasn't for your father's support and care, I wouldn't be where I am today, so I'll help you with this favor. Li Lin waved his hand and smiled at Chu Mofeng, and then shouted outside the tent: "Come on, go to the treasury to get four hundred thistles, a bow and a crossbow, and seventy crossbow arrows to the big tent." ”
I only heard a 'yes' sound outside, and after a while, the three soldiers carried the objects that Li Lin had just said into the big tent, and after the three of them placed the items, they hugged their fists at Li Lin and exited the big tent.
Patting Chu Mofeng on the shoulder, Li Lin said to him: "Boy, count the points, remember not to fight if you encounter an enemy." ”
After making a gesture at Li Lin, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "No need, I am very relieved about what Uncle Li explained." ”
"Nacheng, I instructed the soldiers to send you the items back to the inn, and you go to the inn and wait to receive the goods. ”
The little nephew retired first and thanked Uncle Li for his help. After making a gesture at Li Lin, Chu Mofeng quickly left the camp and walked in the direction of the inn.
At the beginning of the second day, Chu Mofeng and the others were ready to set off and marched towards Yiwu County again, there was an unknown ahead, but everyone rode forward with a firm footstep......
