Chapter Thirty-Eight: After the Gate

All the way to the cool breeze of the autumn night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. On the official road, I saw Da Kui's body like a meteor, and the scenery on both sides was like flying backwards. While running, Da Kui recalled that when he was a teenager, he and Brother Tang climbed the city at night to kill corrupt officials, and the past is still vivid in his eyes. 'For the suffering of the people, even if there are thousands of knives, what does it matter?' This is what Tang He said, and it will also be the criterion of his life.

By the next hour, Da Kui had slowed down. Autumn is the harvest season, and farmers are already working in the fields along the roadside. Da Kui walked dozens of miles again, and there happened to be a post station in front of him. (During the Ming Dynasty, there was a post station every 500 to 800 li on the official road, which was guarded by soldiers and kept horses in captivity for communication.) )

When Da Kui arrived at the post station, he saw a young soldier in front of the door leaning against the door frame with a tasseled gun, his eyes were still misty, and he was on duty at night. Da Kui couldn't help but laugh secretly, can you fall asleep while standing? Da Kui came close and found a dead grass on the ground. Seeing that the soldier was sleeping soundly, Da Kui poked the soldier's nostrils with the withered grass in his hand.

'Ahh Suddenly he was surprised that there was someone around him, and the soldier held the gun in one hand and swept it into Da Kui's legs, and Da Kui was shocked that the soldier also had two blows, and such a close distance could actually make the gun carry the wind? Da Kui lifted his right foot and kicked the soldier's tassel gun away, and the soldier turned around with the strength of the gun and smashed it straight over.

Da Kui secretly praised: "Yes, there are two hands. Taking a step to the left and dodging the barrel of the gun, the soldier reversed the barrel of the gun and stabbed it at Da Kui's throat. Just halfway through the stabbing stopped, and when I looked at it, I was scared stupid.

Da Kui stood with his hands in his hands and smiled, and the soldier threw the tassel spear and rushed into the post station from Da Kui's side. Then the soldier was heard shouting from the house: "Get up, all of you, the officers are coming." There was a lot of chaos in the house.

After a short time, ten soldiers ran out of the post station one after another, and one soldier who was still busy putting on leather armor was the captain. This Wu Chang has some knowledge, and he can't help but be surprised when he looks at Da Kui's clothes. The biggest official this chief has ever seen is the county lord of this county, and the county lord's clothes are only cyan official uniforms and have no colors. The one in front of him was actually red, and with the dark lines of a small flower, although he didn't know what kind of official it was, he knew that it must be bigger than the county master's official.

The captain looked back and forth, left and right, and saw no one else, and couldn't help but think: "The senior official has an honor guard when he travels, but this official does not. Wu Chang looked at Da Kui with suspicion in his eyes, but he still asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Da Kui smiled and took out the waist card from his arms and sent it to the Wu Chief, who looked at it as if he didn't believe it, shook his head and rubbed his eyes, and then looked carefully, "Ah" screamed, poofed and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned." When the rest of the soldiers saw it, they also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Da Kui looked up to the sky and laughed: "Get up, this official is just passing by here." The captain still didn't get up, knelt on the ground and slapped himself with both hands left and right: "The little ones should be damned, they shouldn't be lazy, the little ones should be damned, they shouldn't be lazy." Da Kui couldn't help but wonder, why is this Wu Commander like this?

It turned out that the supreme commander of the armament of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was Chang Yuchun, the famous general of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, who governed the army very strictly. The post stations along the official road need to be on duty every day and night, otherwise it is dereliction of duty, and dereliction of duty is a felony of killing the head in the Changyu Spring Army, no wonder this captain is afraid of this.

Although Da Kui was puzzled, he thought that there must be a reason. Then he smiled and said, "Get up, this official will pardon you for your innocence." When the chief heard this, he kowtowed again and again, and said, "Thank you for not killing." ”

Da Kui said again: "Get up, what kind of body does the seven-foot man kneel on the ground." When the commander heard this, he got up with a group of soldiers. A soldier had already entered the post station and came out with a bench and placed it on Da Kui's side. Wu Chang stretched out his sleeves and rubbed a few handfuls on the stool, and then invited Da Kui to sit.

Da Kui didn't care, and after sitting down, he asked the soldier on duty at night, "What is your name, how old are you?" The soldier hurriedly returned: "The little one's name is Yang Xiaohu, and he is sixteen this year." Da Kui nodded approvingly: "Good skills." Yang Xiaohu smiled and scratched his head.

Da Kui smiled and asked: "Listening to the accent, you are not a local, where is your hometown?" Yang Xiaohu said shyly: "My hometown is Shanxi." Da Kui was embarrassed when he heard this, he is from Shandong, he is from Shanxi, and he is also a fallen person at the end of the world.

Wu Chang expressed his heart, and said with help on the side: "This kid's kung fu is good, he is the descendant of the Yang family general." Hearing this, Da Kui couldn't help asking: "He is a descendant of the Yang family and has such martial arts, why is he stationed at this post station? ”

Da Kui asked, "Who is the official here?" Wu Chang replied, "This place is under the jurisdiction of Tiantai County. Da Kui asked again: "I'm talking about who is in charge of the armaments of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces." Wu Chang hurriedly said: "Oh, it's the right road governor of the Ming Dynasty who often meets the spring Changjiang army." "Da Kui couldn't help but secretly think: 'Although I have never seen this Chang Yuchun, Brother Tang is the governor of the left road and the governor of the right road, and he must have a big official rank. ’

It's better to meet than to meet by chance, Da Kui has an idea in his heart: 'This Yang Xiaohu is so martial arts, it is better to take it under his command'

Da Kui thought of this, and said in an official tone: "Hahaha, this official and Chang Jiangjun can be regarded as old friends." You see, my Longquan sword was given by Chang Jiangjun. As he spoke, he lifted the sword in his hand to show off. At this moment, Da Kui is talking nonsense, and he can't wait to say it.

Wu Chang nodded on the side and smiled: "That's that, it's not uncommon for adults to get acquainted with General Chang." Da Kui glanced at Yang Xiaohu and said, "You will follow this official in the future, and I will tell Brother Chang when I go back." "Da Kui has never seen Chang Yuchun at all, and he doesn't know whether Chang Yuchun is fat or thin. Now I change General Chang's words to Brother Chang, and what he says is the same as the real thing. Before Yang Xiaohu could speak, the captain looked embarrassed: "My lord said that he was joking, how can the post station soldiers be seconded casually?" Da Kui muttered: "That's it, I'll write a note to bother the chief official you handed to you." ”

Seeing that Da Kui insisted on taking people away, Wu Chang had no choice but to say: "Since your Excellency said so, then please go inside and write a note." Da Kui stood up with the hem of his robe, and Wu Chang was currently leading the way, and Da Kui entered the post station step by step.

There is a row of large bunks against the left wall, and the tops are messy. On the right hand side is a square table against the wall, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, and there are more than ten horse cards and an account book on the wall.

Behind him, a soldier carried the bench in, but there was only one bench in the big room.
