Chapter 316: Chin Cha
Hurriedly returned to the inn with a lantern, the door was closed, and he knocked on the door to wake up Xiao Er, who complained. However, after Chen Tang threw him a coin, this guy immediately smiled and helped Zhang Luo to make hot water.
The room is lit with candles and shines brightly.
Under the lamp, Chen Tang packed up the money and other things, then took out the square brocade box, opened it, and saw that there was an object inside, which was actually a pocket carriage that was extremely delicate and dexterous.
This is the token.
After looking at it for a while, I put it back together and put it away.
Favors can be big or small, and it's impossible to determine when it will come in handy, just as a backup.
Nothing happened overnight.
When they got up the next morning, the four of them had already gotten up and waited outside respectfully. They are not used to living very safely outside, and they obviously didn't sleep well last night, so they want to return to Datang Township as soon as possible.
Chen Tang understood this psychology quite well, so he took them down for breakfast. After gobbling up a meal, eating and drinking, the four young men carried their burdens and prepared to set off.
Chen Tang went to lead the horse.
Gotta get it!
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the streets, horses' hooves were hoofing, and the pace was in order, and a large group of men and horses dressed in stubborn clothes appeared. The people on the street hurriedly stepped aside and whispered a lot of talking.
This team of people came to the Yuelai Inn.
Ah Qiang and the others suddenly showed panic, and they didn't know what was going on, so they subconsciously hid behind Chen Tang.
Chen Tang wore a face, and he couldn't see the change in his expression, but the light of a pair of eyes betrayed the unpeace in his heart.
"Yu Yu!"
Several horsemen scattered, plus more than a dozen soldiers and armor who followed behind, gathered in front of the inn and blocked Chen Tang and his party.
This movement was not small, the shopkeeper in the inn was shocked, and for a while, he thought that Chen Tang was a thief from Wang Yang, and the east window incident happened and was rounded up by officers and soldiers. If this is the case, their inn will not be able to escape the blame, and if they are not careful, they may even be charged with harboring stolen criminals.
Chen Tang glanced at the team of soldiers. Seeing that the armor is bright and the blade is sharp, it should belong to the elite ranks.
The soldiers of the imperial court were divided into many kinds. Elite or not, there is a big difference in combat power. The idle soldiers, such as those in the county town, are basically old and weak, and they are a little stronger than the government service; but once they are really trained soldiers, their strength will immediately rise to a higher level, and they will not be the same. And some of the personal guards are even better, each of them is one in a hundred elite soldiers, skilled in martial arts, and can be called masters.
Chen Tang has personally experienced these differences. After all, in Nanfu County, he fought with the Yang family's personal soldiers and killed the personal guards of the Yang family's son, which is indeed not to be taken lightly.
The team of armor that appeared here now was not much different from the one they encountered in terms of physical momentum.
In an instant, Chen Tang judged the situation. If the other party is really not good, they will fight. He was sure to break out, but Ah Qiang would have to suffer, and if the city gates were closed, it would be quite difficult for him to fight his way out of the city alone, so he had to lurk in the city, find a place to hide, and then wait for the opportunity to move.
Chen Tang didn't have time to kill Yang Qiuxue that day, because he was worried that he would be trapped in the city and face the frontal killing of hundreds of soldiers and armor, and he would be in an unfavorable situation.
The leader rode up, turned over and dismounted, and with the movement, the armor leaves all over his body moved, making a terrifying sound of soldiers. The armor he wore alone weighed more than ten pounds, and it was very strong. It is not easy for the broken jade sword to penetrate and break it, and it must be infused with breath to do it.
This dismounting action made Chen Tang breathe a sigh of relief: the other party took the initiative to dismount, and to a certain extent, he was releasing goodwill. Otherwise, as a knight, it is impossible to leave the mount easily.
But seeing one of his fists, he said loudly: "Chen Gongzi, my family is invited." ”
Chen Tang's eyes shrank, and he noticed the problem of the title, the other party obviously knew his identity.
That's weird.
At the moment, he asked, "Who is your adult?"
The team leader smiled: "Childe will go with me, you will know at a glance." ”
"What if I don't go?"
Chen Tang asked rhetorically, pressing his hand on the hilt of the sword.
The team leader didn't seem to see it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Childe, we have no malicious intent." ”
Chen Tang groaned slightly, turned to Ah Qiang and told them to go out of the city first and go home with their things.
"Son, you?"
"I'm fine, I'll be back later. ”
"In that case, be careful. ”
Ah Qiang didn't dare to stay and left quickly.
Chen Tang watched them go away, and he was worried in his heart. But after thinking about it, if the other party had planned an ambush and wanted to attack Ah Qiang, no matter what, he would not be able to protect himself. So this question, there is nothing to think about.
He turned over and rode on the rouge horse, and said indifferently: "Let's go." ”
"Good. ”
The team leader also got on the horse, shouted, and hugged Chen Tang.
Along the way, cross two main streets. Chen Tang carefully observed the surrounding terrain and environment, he was now alone, and there was a horse demon, even if he encountered a strong enemy, he could escape. Unless the other party is ridiculously strong, but in that case, there is nothing to say.
Turn another street corner, and the front is cheerful, and a magnificent house door appears. The people who can live here are obviously either rich or expensive.
In front of a mansion, there are many sedan chairs and carriages. Officials dressed in official robes and black gauze hats gathered in twos and threes, whispering.
Seeing this, Chen Tang couldn't help but be stunned, as if the scene was unexpected, as if these more than ten officials had come to visit the master here and wait for the reception. At the same time, he noticed the clothing of many officials, whose official rank was not high, most of them were around six or seven grades. However, Gaocheng itself is a city of one house, and the prefect is also from the four grades.
When the people came, these officials looked sideways, and their eyes quickly focused on Chen Tang. It is the only one in the ranks who does not wear armor, and it is very conspicuous.
Chen Tang was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he couldn't see his identity, only the sword box he was carrying, and he could probably know that he was a martial artist.
"Childe, please!"
After dismounting, the team leader said to Chen Tang respectfully.
When he approached, Chen Tang vaguely heard the discussion of the officials on the side, which mentioned the word "Qincha", which made him very confused. Could it be that the person sitting in the mansion is a king-sama? It's just that how can the other party know him?
In a split second, he thought a lot. also subconsciously linked this matter with Yan Huandan, who went to the capital. It's just a matter of calculating the time, and I feel that there is a deviation. Besides, Yan Huandan entered the nine doors, and he couldn't fight with the identity of Lord Qincha.
"Childe, please come in. ”
The armor leader shouted softly again.
Chen Tang was calm, exhaled, and walked over.
