Volume 1 Chapter 29 Anyang
Just after midnight, the sky was a little light blue, and before the city gate was opened, there were already a lot of people in and out at this time. If the pedestrian is empty-handed, he can be allowed to pass after a little interrogation, and if it is a cargo carriage, he must not be taken by these guards guarding the city to take some benefits.
Standing at the city gate and looking into the distance through the wide moat, because the city base is high, you can see countless early farmers working in the vast land, rich sons get up early to walk birds, warrior boys get up early and practice in the morning, foot merchants bow their heads and hurry, the whole world is gradually busy, warriors or farmers, rich merchants or puppets, all doing what they have to do, day after day.
The cold air of the early morning blew on his body with gusts of cold breeze, so that the guards guarding the door couldn't help but tighten the cotton armor inside the standard robes.
A silver-armored guard with the appearance of a leader had a cold mist in his mouth, and his eyes looked at a carriage that walked in front of the city gate on the drawbridge, and stepped forward to conduct a routine interrogation. When I got closer, I saw that the horses next to the carriage were all dressed as guards, and the one in the center was even more exposed, and he had reached the realm of the late stage of the day after tomorrow, and his eyes were like eagles and falcons, extremely sharp. When the silver-armored guard saw the appearance of the person who came, he was suddenly startled, his expression changed, and he said with a smile: "The king is in charge...... The little one saw the Commander from afar, and he came to greet him," he turned his head and said, "Don't get out of the way yet!"
This person is the commander of the Anyang Wang family, and the commander of the king didn't look at him, he glanced back at the carriage, and saw that the carriage did not respond, so he snorted coldly and said, "Next time, your eyes will shine." After that, a horse entered the city, and several guards next to him also looked proud, ignoring these guards, and escorting the carriage left and right into the city.
"What is Wang Yueguo doing with his people? Seeing that he and his subordinates are all newly dressed, and their expressions are abnormal, do you want to report to the commander?"
"Don't meddle in your affairs, you really think you're long-lived. Commander Wang is about to be promoted to a half-step innate nature, and he is in charge of the power of guarding and commanding the county city, and he is an important figure in the lineage of the Wang family. Although the Commander asked us to pay attention to some of their unusual actions in private, it is better for us pawns not to get involved in this dispute between the clan and the division of the family. ”
"When Lao Tzu is promoted to a half-step innate, I have to give him a good look! ”
"Don't daydream, Wang Yueguo can crush you with one hand, hahaha. ”
"It's a long time coming... Maybe I'll be able to be promoted to a half-step innate level. ”
"You two, why don't you go on patrol quickly!What are you talking about in that sneaky way!" A black-armored general walked over and interrupted the two who were obscene, looking rather displeased.
"Yes, sir!"
Anyang County, the extremely prosperous county of East Qinzhou, is second only to the capital of East Qinzhou, and is also the seat of the provincial capital of East Qinzhou. However, no matter how prosperous the place, no matter how magnificent the prosperous era, there will be no shortage of people.
In a small corner inside the huge city gate, a few beggars squatted. One of them, an unkempt middle-aged beggar, with a dirty, tattered coat showing some bruised skin, had obviously suffered a lot.
In his hand, he held a bamboo flute, which was green and clean, which formed a great contrast with his whole body. The flute blew slowly at his dirty mouth, and every time he finished a song, the middle-aged beggar bent down his clumsy waist and lowered his head to the ground, begging for money from the passers-by who came in and out of the city.
There was a thin beggar next to him, only in his teens, although his face was dirty, his eyes were big and smart, and he was not as thin as ordinary beggars, after all, other beggars were not as full as he could eat every meal. This little beggar can talk and beg for rewards, well-behaved, often people love to listen to what he says, so he throws him a few copper coins, so that it is more than the middle-aged beggar next to him half-performing and half-begging to get more copper coins, and occasionally there are small pieces of broken silver, and there are no worries for a few days.
The middle-aged beggar finished the song, and a few passers-by dropped a few bounties, and the middle-aged beggar picked up the copper coins scattered in the muddy water while complimenting him. A pair of clean black forging shoes appeared on the ground in front of him, simple but exquisitely made of materials, and stopped in front of him. The middle-aged beggar barely straightened up his stiff body, raised his head with some difficulty, and saw a young man in a black robe, his black hair tied up and hanging down behind his head, and his slender figure was standing, unable to see his face clearly, but the middle-aged beggar was slightly happy in his heart. Because a monk like this is the easiest to beg, and every time, he gives a lot, which is very generous.
But the young man in the robe did not look at him, but stopped to look at the clever little beggar with a thoughtful look in his eyes. This young man is Xu Disheng, Xu Disheng is only fifteen years old, extremely young, but he is dressed in a Taoist robe, his long ink-colored hair is tied up, his eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, and there is a black brilliance in his eyes when he opens and closes, and his expression is indifferent, which makes people dare not treat him as a teenager.
He was indeed attracted to the middle-aged beggar at first, just because he saw his cyan bamboo flute. At this moment, he felt a little special on the little beggar next to him, Xu Disheng was still one step away from reaching the Tongmai realm, and his five senses were extremely keen, and any feeling would not be untargeted. This little beggar is young, and he has no martial arts cultivation on his body, obviously he has not even measured his pulse for more than ten years, how can he give him a special feeling?
The little beggar was clever, looked at Xu Disheng with a pair of big eyes, and said: "The Taoist chief is outstanding, his demeanor is elegant, and at first glance he is a person who has achieved Taoism." Presumably, the Taoist chief has already participated in the creation, and the Taoist chief will be merciful, and you will reward the small one with a few coins of silver, and the small one will go back and set up an immortal tablet for you in the hall......"
Xu Disheng laughed a little, and suddenly felt that this little beggar was interesting, and his mood would be infected by him, and he stroked his palm and said: "If I really participate in the creation, I will linger in this earthly world." After saying that, he shook his head slightly, and was about to walk into the crowd of people in the city.
"Even if the Taoist has the Tao to the heavens, he can't bear the loneliness and loneliness of being alone, so in the end, he still has to return to this mortal world to enjoy happiness. The little beggar grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, apparently he had often cleaned his teeth with rough objects such as animal hair.
The little beggar was just talking nonsense, but Xu Disheng stopped, turned his head and said, "What is the most important thing for you?"
The little beggar's bright eyes looked at Xu Disheng, pondering Xu Yuming's intentions, and said slowly: "I have no home since I was a child, I only have one sister to depend on each other, and it is my biggest dream to live with my family. Daoist, you will reward me with some money, so that I can eat enough and go to sleep, and I can go to see my parents again. ”
