Everyone rested this time, and did not get up one after another until noon the next day, hurriedly cleaned up, and hurried to the direction of Jiayuguan. Xian Jingyue remembered Li Liu's actions last night, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, and deliberately avoided her during the action. But Li Liu's face was radiant, and he was in the middle of the team to take care of the woman who was infected with the plague, although her face was covered with a square scarf, she couldn't hide the joy on her face, thinking that it was probably because of Xian Jingyue's promise last night, saying that the team would let her go back to Jiangnan first after arriving at Jiayuguan, which could be regarded as realizing her homesickness for many years. Continuing to hurry, the whole team finally came to the front of Jiayu Pass around the evening.

It is said that the northwest territory of this dynasty is bounded by the Great Wall rebuilt in the early years, from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west. Therefore, for this dynasty, the entire Jiayuguan is not only the throat of the Hexi Corridor, but also the west of the country, and is called "the first Xiongguan in the world" by the world. Its city pass is built in a narrow valley, by the inner city, the outer city and the moat three lines of defense to form an overlapping and defensive situation, so as to form five miles of a sui, ten miles of a pier, thirty miles of a fort, a hundred miles of a city of meticulous war preparation, the scale is far from the Yumen Pass that a lonely city wall can be compared.

Due to the rumors of "zombies" caused by Yumen Pass a few days ago, Gong Baisheng, who was stationed at Jiayu Pass, had already issued a strict order to completely block the entire Jiayu Pass. Pursue the principle of "only out but not in". That is, as long as the formalities are complete, anyone can leave the customs, but as long as they are outside the customs, no matter what country or nationality they come from, they are not allowed to enter the customs. At this time, everyone came to Jiayu Pass, only to see that the gate of Jiayu Pass was closed, and the figure of the sergeant holding the sword was faintly visible on the city wall, which was obviously garrisoned by a heavy army, but there was no sergeant outside the city, and there was no one in the moat in front of the city wall. Master Zhou and General Wang, who were in front of the procession, immediately crossed the moat, revealed their identities to the soldiers on the city wall, and told them to open the city gate.

The soldiers defending the city on the city wall refused to open the door, saying only that General Gong had given a strict order not to let anyone enter the gate. Master Zhou had already prepared for this, and hurriedly took out the document written by General Lu himself, saying that this time there were also Han people who had withdrawn from Yumen Pass, and even if they did not let the soldiers enter the pass to rest, they should let the people in, and these people should be properly settled no matter what.

Who knew that the soldiers guarding the city still refused to open the gate of Jiayu Pass, no matter how Master Zhou persuaded him, he just didn't hear it. The first Jingyue, Li Liu and all the people behind the team also came to the city wall at this time, seeing such a situation, they were a little at a loss for a while, and they couldn't imagine that this road had gone through hardships, and finally came to Jiayu Pass, but was stopped outside the pass by the soldiers guarding the city. If it is said that Gong Baisheng of Jiayuguan and Lu Yuanpo of Yumen Pass have suspicions, so this time they secretly poisoned the garrison of Yumen Pass and wanted to put the garrison of Yumen Pass in a predicament, then it is fine, but how can even these people be kept out of the pass? Inevitably, it is too desperate.

Master Zhou saw that the sergeants and people in his companions were all angry, and in desperation, he had to make a fuss about General Lu's handwritten documents, saying that this was an urgent military situation sent by Yumen Pass, and it would be handed over to General Gong no matter what. Hearing this, the garrison sergeant on the city wall suddenly lost his voice, but he did not open the city gate, after a long time, the city head suddenly descended a basket-sized bucket, dragged with a long rope to hang down to the city wall, and the garrison sergeant called Master Zhou into the bucket, to use the bucket to pull him up the city wall.

Master Zhou was so angry that his face was so blue that he had to lift his foot and step into the bucket, and then the soldiers defending the city on the city wall raised the bucket. To say that the city wall of Jiayuguan is not as tall as the city wall of Yumen Pass, but there are also more than ten zhang high, Master Zhou slowly rose in the bucket, and stayed five or six zhang high from the ground, he felt that his limbs were numb, dizzy and his head was swollen, and his legs were weak, so he sat down in the bucket, which attracted the laughter of all the soldiers on the city wall. However, seeing that there was still a height of a foot from the city, the bucket had stopped moving, and Master Zhou was hanging alone in mid-air. I only listened to the sergeant on the city wall and ordered Master Zhou to throw General Lu's handwritten documents on the city.

Master Zhou was furious in his heart, since the other party refused to let him go to the city, then Fang Cai should explain that he only needed to put General Lu's documents in the bucket, so why did he need to ask himself to step into the bucket? Fortunately, Master Zhou has always been calm and accustomed to it, and this trip is entrusted by General Lu, his humiliation is small, and the lack of food and medicine for the soldiers of Yumen Pass is a big matter, not to mention that there are also these people who need to be resettled, so they can only lower their posture and pray for the soldiers defending the city to open the city gate in the bucket.

So Master Zhou talked with the soldiers guarding the city in the bucket for a meal, and everyone under the city wall was far away, only hearing the sound of the north wind in the desert, and they couldn't hear what Master Zhou said to the other party. In the end, Master Zhou finally threw General Lu's documents on the city, and the defending sergeant on the city wall immediately lowered the bucket and let Master Zhou land safely. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Master Zhou had a blue face, couldn't help but sigh, and blurted out a swear word.

It turned out that the garrison of Jiayuguan was convinced of the rumors of "zombies" in Yumen Pass, and the commander Gong Baisheng even passed down a strict order that even a fly could not be put into Jiayuguan, especially those who came from the direction of Yumen Pass. Master Zhou had no choice but to coax and deceive, and the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall were so good that they almost wore out their mouths, and in the end, although the other party still refused to let these people enter the customs, he finally agreed to prepare some grain, grass and medicinal materials for the garrison of Yumen Pass, so as to send these people under the city wall back.

Hearing Master Zhou's reply, the sergeants and people present suddenly burst into an uproar, and scolded the guards on the city wall one after another, together with Gong Baisheng's eighteenth generation ancestors also greeted in turn, and some of the sergeants couldn't suppress their anger, so they stepped forward to smash the gate of Jiayuguan. Seeing this, the defending sergeant on the city wall immediately shouted: "Yumen Pass has long been captured by zombies, and the origin of this team is unknown, and it is unknown whether it is an enemy or a friend." At present, they still dare to attack the city and break into the gate of Jiayu Pass, most of them are spies sent by zombies!" As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen feathered arrows fell from the city wall, sparsely nailed in front of everyone, and it was actually used as a warning.

As a result, although the people under the city wall were frightened away by the feathered arrows, the soldiers became more and more angry. The garrison of Jiayuguan refused to open the door, but Master Zhou obviously took out General Lu's handwritten letter, and the other party even slandered everyone for being of unknown origin, saying that it was a spy sent by a zombie, and greeted him with feather arrows, where could the sergeants swallow this breath? ”

With Xian Jingyue's words, there was a sudden silence on the city wall, and he was obviously afraid of the name of this pro-army governor's mansion. Master Zhou and General Wang next to them hurriedly stopped the commotion of the sergeants, and waited for the reply on the city wall with Xian Jingyue. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, but the other party did not respond, Xian Jingyue couldn't help frowning slightly, and said Fang Cai's sentence again. This time, there was movement on the city wall, and only one of the soldiers guarding the city asked loudly in an exaggerated tone: "Listen carefully, but there is someone talking under the city wall?" Another sergeant's voice immediately replied: "I'm afraid you heard it wrong, where is someone talking?"

Hearing that the other party was such a scoundrel, Xian Jingyue was suddenly furious, but looking at the Jiayuguan city wall that was more than ten feet high, even if his internal strength was still there, he was afraid that he would not be able to climb up, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and hold back. You must know that the name of the pro-army Governor's Mansion is not trivial, it is a secret organization directly under the emperor, and now Xian Jingyue wants to talk to Gong Baisheng by name as the commander, but these soldiers on the city wall dare to deal with it like this, it can be seen that most of them have been instructed by Gong Baisheng. It is conceivable that Gong Baisheng, the commander of the Jiayuguan garrison, is very likely to be on this city wall right now.
