Chapter 30: Nowhere to Find the Iron Shoes (6)
Mu Chuncai saw Su Yi leave, and was about to turn back to find Changhu and the two monks, but a messenger from Gongsun Mansion came to the city gate, saying: "I am hereby ordered by the city lord to send the order to the heroes of the rivers and lakes to enter the city!"
As soon as the envoy said this, everyone outside the city immediately rushed to the gate of the city, and for a time the crowd was crowded, and the land was empty.
Over there, Changhu and the two monks also ran over, and when they met Mu Chun on the way, they urged him to hurry over.
Chang Hu also said strangely: "Brother Mu, this is all news, why do you still have to go back?" Chang Hu even questioned: "Brother Mu, don't you plan to enter the city." ”
Mu Chun only smiled, and then he followed Chang Hu to the city gate.
At this time, there was a lot of noise outside Phoenix City, but just when everyone was in high spirits, the messenger threw this sentence to everyone: "Only the victor can enter the city." ”
As soon as these words came out, they aroused heated discussions among everyone: what is the winner, and why only the winner can enter the city.
Mu Chun was in the crowd, and he could only vaguely see that this envoy's eyes were not idle, and he was also thinking about the plan of Gongsun Boyu and others in Phoenix City after such an arrangement: A group of heroes in the rivers and lakes were rejected from the city for a few days, but suddenly gave such a condition. There must be something different.
The messenger seemed pleased with the reaction of the people, and he waited for the discussion to reach its peak before announcing the rules for entering the city, and what the winner was.
It turns out that Phoenix City and these people have prepared a ring, and those who register their names in the clerical office can have the opportunity to enter the ring, and if they win three times in a row in the ring, they can get the order to enter the city.
This...... Everyone saw that the attendants of Phoenix City had really set up a ring outside the city, but in this ring, how could so many people be able to compete before the Zhongyuan Festival tomorrow?
Not only them, but also Mu Chun also had this question in his heart, if it wasn't for tonight, he wouldn't be sleepless? Mu Chunshang was still thinking about these questions calmly, but Chang Hu couldn't wait, he was eager to try and wanted to compete in the ring, he said: "Brother Mu, it seems that I can't help you anymore, let's go to the city according to our abilities." ”
Mu Chun glanced at the wise monk, and saw that he was the same, but he was a little more forbearant than Chang Hu, he smiled at Chang Hu and said, "Little brother wishes Chang brother good luck, and I have the opportunity to talk again." ”
The two shook hands, and Chang Hu said, "Good brother." After Chang Hu finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the ring.
Mu Chunjing watched Chang Hu step forward, but he was not able to enter the ring at this time, and he had to wait for the attendants of Phoenix City to be numbered.
The wise monk saw that Chang Hu had already obtained the serial number, and Mu Chun was still standing here indifferent, he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Master Mu, when will we enter the city." ”
Mu Chun was pinching the time, he saw the same, and there was a big distance from Chang Hu's, so he said: "Let's go, let's go and get the number." ”
The wise monk didn't know his concerns, they would be a big step behind others if they went to get the number at this time, he had this question in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why don't we go early?"
Mu Chun looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "Is there any difference?"
Mu Chun's question made the wise monk question Mu Chun's sincerity even more, and he even suspected that Mu Chun was not willing to help the five heroes. The wise monk said that he would not distinguish between the two explanations, but he would say, "Mu Chun, if you are not sincere, you don't have to go into the city with the poor monk." ”
"Why?" Mu Chun stopped when he heard Zhi Seng's words, he didn't expect Zhi Seng to say this.
Zhi Seng had no intention of entangling this issue with Mu Chun at this time, he waved his sleeves and lined up at the back of the line, ignoring Mu Chun's words.
When Mu Chun saw this, he just smiled, and then staggered a few people, and he himself was at the back of the line.
Earlier, Mu Chun saw that Chang Hu had received the number and was under the ring, and then the wise monk also got the number to stand under the ring.
When it was Mu Chun's turn to take the number, the attendant read the name he had written on the roster questioningly: "Mu Qiu?" After he finished reading, he looked up at Mu Chun, with inquiry and scrutiny, as if he had questioned their identity.
At this time, they didn't wait for Mu Chun to speak, but the few people in line behind Mu Chun urged the attendants not to delay.
Although the attendant had doubts, he also gave the number to Mu Chun in a slippery manner, and wrote a few numbers behind Mu Qiu's name in the booklet: two hundred and fifty-seven.
Mu Chun took the number and walked to the ring, he saw Chang Hu and Zhi Seng standing in different positions, he walked straight to the direction of Zhi Seng without thinking.
When the wise monk saw Mu Chun walking towards him, he didn't speak, but moved to the side.
The competition on the ring side to win the order to enter the city has not started for a long time, and although everyone has already received it, they can only wait impatiently under the ring to start at this time. There are obviously short-tempered people among them, and when they get impatient, they start to abuse Phoenix's arrangement: "What kind of thing did his grandson arrange......
Although he said this, it was a stabbing basket, the guards in Phoenix City are not vegetarians, and they naturally will not let him insult their masters.
Soon the abusive man was pulled out of the crowd by the Phoenix guards, and although he was the first few to receive the number, he was disqualified from entering the city.
The man couldn't help himself with this consequence: "Lao Tzu will wait so many days to get this broken number, and he can't enter the city?" Lao Tzu is going to go in today, what can you do with me." After he finished speaking, he shook off the two guards on the left and right, and was about to break into the city.
When the left and right guards saw this change, the two looked at each other, and then went up to capture the person to the left and the right.
The man reacted, he struggled twice to try to get rid of the shackles of the two, but let the man use all his strength, the two attendants on the left and right still did not move, and pressed the man to the ground.
When the man suffered this change, he couldn't calm down, and hurriedly called his companions to come to help. His two companions hesitated a little when they saw this battle, and when they saw that there were no other guards around, the two of them stepped forward to help each other.
The two of them showed their weapons, and they also attacked the two guards on the left and the right.
Seeing that the two of them did not leave a way for the two guards to survive, Mu Chun also pinched a cold sweat with the two of them. If the two let go of the man, they may not be able to block their sneak attack, but if they are so restrained, they will definitely die.
Everyone present was worried about the two guards, but none of them stepped forward.
Just watching the man's two companions go straight to their life gate with their weapons, at the moment when their lives are at stake, the two guards have a tacit understanding to bend forward, and turn the man backwards to face the killing moves of his two companions.
"Ahh
Everyone only heard a man's scream, and blood was immediately splashed at the city gate.
