Chapter 20: The Gate of Xuanwu
The leader of the forbidden army made a gesture from afar to stop advancing and accept inspection. Blue Moon had no choice but to reduce the speed of her horse and move forward slowly, hoping to use this dress to trick her out of the city.
Lan Yue lowered her head and came to the city gate, racking her brains to make up an excuse, and suddenly raised her head and saw the faces of the two leaders of the forbidden army in front of her, which were the five military battalion commanders Wu Yi General Du Zhijiang and Wu Luo General Lu Tao.
Du Zhijiang glanced at Lan Yue with deep meaning, a trace of grief and helplessness escaped from his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, his face was full of smiles, and he said loudly: "This master, he went out of the city early in the morning on business, it must be urgent official business, and it is hard!" turned back to his subordinates and said: "Don't hurry up and give way to this master of Jinyiwei!" The soldiers under him made way for a passage, and Lanyue was about to lift his horse forward, when he suddenly heard someone next to him shouting: "Slow!" flashed out a few Jinyi guards, blocking the way.
The first person was about thirty or forty years old, with a thin figure, a nose like an eagle's hook, and an arrogant expression, and he looked up and down a lot of Lan Yue before he said: "This brother is very tight, and he caress Liu Jianhui in the lower Jinyi Guard, dare to ask who you are?"
Lan Yue did not dismount, saluted slightly on the horse, and said unhurriedly: "It turned out to be Lord Liu, and his subordinate is Wang Yuanli of Qianhu, because he often acts for the commander of Lord Jiang outside, it is not common to meet, please forgive me." ”
Liu Jianhui continued to ask: "Since you are going out of the city for Lord Jiang to do errands, do you have a token with you?"
Lan Yuegui is a marquis, familiar with the rules of officialdom, and knows the truth that the official level crushes people to death, so he replied lightly: "Presumably Lord Jiang was negligent due to the urgency of the situation, why don't I wait here for a while, after Lord Liu gets the token from Lord Jiang, I will go out of the city to do things for Lord Jiang, how about it?"
Liu Jianhui saw that Lan Yue's official tone was full of fighting, and he was no longer suspicious, let alone the most narrow-minded Jiang Huan, so he waved his hand and let him go. At this moment, Jiang Yulin's shout came from afar: "Close the city gate, that's the blue moon! Stop him!" At the same time, a large group of people and horses came like a tide, and it was coming in a blink of an eye.
Liu Jianhui and the other Jinyi guards immediately surrounded the blue moon when they heard this, and Liu Jianhui smiled fiercely: "I don't think it's familiar." It turned out to be the little marquis!" turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "The opportunity given by God has arrived, seize the blue moon first, and get promoted to make a fortune!" Everyone rushed to the blue moon, and some people even pulled the reins of the horse.
As soon as Lan Yue pulled the reins, the horse's hooves stood up, pounced on the enemy in front, and at the same time slashed left and right with his sword, the Jinyi guard couldn't resist it, and was about to rush out of the city gate, Liu Jianhui turned to the horse, and slashed at the hind legs of the war horse with a knife.
The war horse that jumped in mid-air fell to the ground with a bang, and after the blue moon fell heavily to the ground, the remaining momentum slid towards the wall unabated, until his head hit the wall, and his eyes were full of gold stars. The fallen horse let out a painful wail not far away. Jin Yiwei rushed up, and his sword was against the Blue Moon's vital point. The dust kicked up into Lan Yue's mouth and nose, and she couldn't help coughing a few times, Lan Yue looked at the vast world outside the city, life and death were only in a line, slowly closed her eyes, and then slammed into the tip of the knife against her throat.
A few screams rang in her ears, and Lan Yue felt a crash into the air, opened her eyes, and a pair of big thick hands reached out. It was Du Zhijiang and Lu Tao, and there were a group of brothers from the five military camps standing behind them!
A brother brought a war horse, handed the reins to Lan Yue, and said, "Please get on the horse!" Lan Yue knew what this would mean to the brothers in the five military camps, and pushed the reins away and said, "I can't go, I will kill everyone." ”
Lu Tao said: "When I heard the news of the general this morning, we were all indignant, and we hated to be in the prison. Now, God is pitiful, the Lan family still has you. Then he pointed to the corpse of the Jinyi guard on the ground and said, "We can't turn back." Please get on the horse immediately, we are willing to die for Hou Ye!" All the sergeants raised their halberds and shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for Hou Ye!"
Lan Yue looked at Jiang Yulin and the other brocade guards who were approaching, knowing that the matter had come to this point and was irreparable, she gritted her teeth, bowed to the ground, and said to everyone: "Okay! May we be brothers again in the next life!" Then she got on her horse and whipped and rushed out of the city.
Looking at the back of Lan Yue in the distance, Du Zhijiang turned around and ordered: "Close the door." Formations. Meet the enemy!"
Blue Moon rode out of the city alone. At this time, the sky that was originally sunny suddenly became cloudy, and then the wind blew around, and the low-hanging willow branches beside the road were blown across the air and crackled. The rolling black clouds were getting lower and lower, overwhelming people. Finally, a bolt of lightning pierced the clouds like a sharp sword, followed by thunder that shook the heavens and the earth, and the rain in the accumulated clouds rushed down like a storm. In the world at this moment, there is nothing to see except rain, and heaven and earth seem to be connected in this storm. Lan Yue couldn't control her emotions anymore, stopped, raised her head to the sky, and cried loudly.
Since Shen Chaixing separated from Chen Tianding in Dongting Lake, he came by boat to the east, and the journey was smooth sailing to Beijing. After arriving at Yingtianfu Wharf, Shen Chaixing wanted to bid farewell to Liu Chen. Liu Chen asked where he went, but Shen Chaixing couldn't answer. Liu Chen saw that Shen Chaixing had no specific place to go, so he strongly invited Shen Chaixing to live in Liu's house as a guest, which had the intention of wooing Shen Chaixing to become a member of the Liu family, and Liu Jiaqi also warmly welcomed Shen Chaixing to stay in Liu's house, which made Shen Chaixing, who had just lost his family, feel very warm, so he promised to stay for a while.
Liu Chen is very discerning, as early as a few years ago in Beijing to look for real estate, just a convicted official's property was confiscated and auctioned by the imperial court, Liu Chen bought a mansion in Zhongzheng Street at a low price, which is a five-entry courtyard. Shen Chaixing found a room in the east wing to live in. Because of his first arrival in Beijing, Liu Chen went out early and returned late every day, paid homage to high-ranking officials, made friends with high-ranking officials and nobles, and at the same time sought a way out for his son, while Shen Chaixing went to Beijing accompanied by Liu Jiajun. Shen Chaixing has lived in a poor countryside for a long time, and when he first entered Beijing, he was dazzled and dizzy, and he felt fresh and interesting when he saw everything. Liu Jiajun was also in high spirits at the beginning, but a few days later, he suddenly felt that his back and legs hurt, and he was tired and couldn't rejoice.
On this day, Shen Chaixing got up early, came to look for Liu Jiajun after washing, and saw that he was still lazy in bed, so he proposed to play by himself and let him rest. Shen Chaixing agreed and walked out of the door happily.
This year is the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Ying Tianfu as the location of the Beijing division after more than 20 years of construction is magnificent, prosperous, the population of the Beijing division is dense, plus the garrison can have a million people, people come and go, the market is vertical and horizontal, the famous market has Sanshan Market, Xinqiao City, Jiangdong City, etc., if you go shopping, three days and three nights can not be finished; there are many bridges in Jingshi, there are 36 bridges such as Dazhong Bridge, Huaiqing Bridge, Xinqiao; if you want to go to the temple to play, there are Linggu Temple, Jiming Temple, Baifu Temple, etc. outside the city, and there are Shanshi Temple, Tianyou Temple, Nengren Temple, Chaotian Palace, when you are tired of shopping and want to find a restaurant to eat, there are Jiangdong Building, Heming Building, Zuixian Building, Jixian Building and other large restaurants to choose from. This day is the twilight of spring, the weather is sunny and warm, Shen Chaixing has been sweating profusely for a morning, tired and hungry, so he wants to find a place to eat, walking and walking. Come to a bustling street market, here the restaurant is lined up, the fragrance is fragrant, one of the restaurants, the building is three floors high, the most is the most magnificent and luxurious, the main entrance is placed with a big plaque, on the book "drunken fairy building" three gilded characters. Shen Chaixing thought to himself that this is good, it's you! Touching the hard silver taels on his waist, he immediately straightened his waist and strode towards the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Shen Chaixing grew up in a poor place in Xiangxi since he was a child, and he has never been to the city, let alone a prosperous place like Beijing. The body is still the clothes worn when he was in his hometown, during this time Shen Chaixing has obviously grown taller, the clothes are dwarfed, and the clothes are scratched when he fell from the mountain in the early stage, although he was sewn by Xiaolian, he is even more overstretched when he wears it, despite this, Shen Chaixing still doesn't care, he does his own thing, and refuses to accept the clothes given by the Liu family.
Shen Chaixing stepped to the gate of the Drunken Immortal Building, at this time there were also four burly men in brocade robes escorting a noble son into the room, and a big man on the right hand in front saw Shen Chaixing's ragged appearance, thinking that it was a rice flower, so he pushed it towards Shen Chaixing's shoulder, intending to push it aside so that Guijie Gongzi could pass.
Which of his palms just touched Shen Chaixing's clothes, and before he could exert his strength, Shen Chaixing instinctively twisted his shoulders, grabbed the vein of the big man's right hand, shook it slightly, and a real force naturally came out, the big man was caught off guard, and suddenly rose up, flew into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Shen Chaixing's force was extremely ingenious, and it didn't hurt people, after the big man fell to the ground, a carp stood up, but the time that happened was too fast, the big man still couldn't believe it, and stared at Shen Chaixing in disbelief, and the three people behind him suddenly formed a triangle to protect the noble son in the middle.
Shen Chaixing was hungry and thirsty at this time, and wanted to have a good meal, but he was disturbed for no reason, and he suddenly became angry in his heart, and said angrily: "You man is so rude!
That man has always been rampant in the capital, seeing that he is a child, he originally wanted to explore the truth and reality, but at this time he was preached by a young man in front of the master, and his old face suddenly turned red, annoyed and angry, and waved his palm at Shen Chaixing.
That big man was originally a Shaolin disciple, and the powerful Vajra palm he practiced was one of the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, which was extremely powerful, and he had practiced the palm technique to the ninefold realm. In terms of palm alone, it can rank in the top three in Shaolin. Only because of his courage and ruthlessness, in a fellow study of the junior brother into a serious injury, was expelled from the division, exiled in the rivers and lakes, and then encountered a green forest robbery in Taishan, Shandong, with only a pair of meat palms, bare-handed into the black wind village, slap to kill seventy-two Kou, the name of Qilu land. Later, due to chance, he was now under the master's door, and in the Beijing Division, he met the enemy with his palm, and did not taste defeat.
