Yang Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know, in the past, when I passed through Minzhou City, the city was curfew very late, and I don't know why the city gate is closed so early now." ”

Zhu Kui, who was standing on my side, said, "Close the city gate, then aren't we going to camp outside the city tonight?" Brother Yang, have you asked clearly?"

Yang Chong said: "I asked clearly, it was the guard of the city gate who told us." He turned his head to look at the city, and suddenly said, "Look, darthead, the city gate is closed." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the city gate. We craned our necks to look, and in the distance, we saw that the two heavy gates of the city gate were closed and solid, and the crowd in front of the city gate was closed and shouted upwards when they saw the gate closed.

Baili turned his head, snorted from his nose, and said, "What a bastard! This is all at the city gate, but don't let people in, isn't this going to kill people in a hurry! Brother Gu, why don't we take advantage of the chaos to split the city gate and rush in in the crowd." ”

The wind and food and sleeping in the open for several days have already made Bailitu feel irritable, and now he finally rushed to the city gate, but it was a curfew in the city, and probably Bailitu was even more anxious at this time. I knew that he was talking angrily, and said with a smile: "Brother Baili, this is a border fortress, don't come nonsense." ”

Baili pouted and said, "Then what should we do?" Our herbs have been used up, and there is not much left to eat, those brothers have been suffering from wind and cold for several days, if they do not go to the city to seek medical treatment, I am afraid that they will become more seriously ill, and they cannot be delayed any longer, and the two brothers who were bitten by poisonous insects also need to be treated. ”

I also have some bitterness in my heart. Indeed, the brothers who had been suffering from the cold had not improved for several days, and they really needed to be healed as soon as possible. Although their faces improved this morning, they were better because they had enough rest last night, but after a day's journey today, their faces did not look very good at this time.

At this time, He Yun muttered: "Brother Baili, don't worry. Darthead, Minzhou City is a border gate, once the city gate is closed, it will only be opened the next day, I have discussed it with Brother Yang, and now I have arrived at the border gate, why worry about not entering the city, you might as well wait outside the city for one night. ”

I looked up at the city wall of Minzhou. Compared with the chaos and chaos under the city wall, the head of Minzhou City is bright, with clusters of torches lit, and rows of border guards wearing black armor are patrolling back and forth with guns on the city head, in an orderly manner. Between the battlements above, there is a large city guard bow and crossbow seat every other mile, the long city head looks at a glance, there are as many as thirty or forty, the power of this large bow and crossbow is extraordinary, the size of the arrow is comparable to a spear, an arrow can shoot enough to shoot through the body of ten people, there is one on the city of Chenzhou, it is used to resist foreign enemies.

After all, it is the border pass city of the Central Plains, Minzhou City is well-prepared, and the defense is much stricter than the city in the pass, but the height of the city wall is four or five zhang higher than the city wall of Chenzhou City. I nodded and said, "It's okay, the imperial court is strict, since there is a curfew in the city, we won't enter the city, and we will enter the city early tomorrow morning." ”

He Yun also nodded, but with a thoughtful look, he secretly looked at Jiang Shun, who was standing on a horse and was holding his arms, and said with a little hesitation: "As for those injured brothers......

As soon as his words came to this, Jiang Shun, who was standing on horseback, said with a smile: "You guy always speaks in a foggy manner, and he says it clearly." ”

When we were talking just now, Jiang Shun had been standing on the horse's back without saying a word, and after saying that, he tapped his foot on the horse's back, and the person fell to the ground like a fallen leaf, walked up to us, and said casually while clapping his hands: "You want me to go into the city and come back with some herbs, right?"

He Yun hurriedly hugged Jiang Shun and said, "Senior Mingjian, I do have this reluctant request below, I don't know...... I wonder if the seniors can make it easier?"

I couldn't help but laugh. He Yun is the oldest among several dart masters, and his mind is also very thoughtful, just now I was still speculating that he might have come up with some cure, maybe to borrow some wind and cold medicine from the soldiers next to him, but I didn't expect him to have such a request. I said: "Brother He, don't bother Senior Jiang, let the brothers endure for one night, and it's not too late to go to the city to seek medical treatment tomorrow." ”

An injured brother on a horse followed with a smile: "What the dart head said is, Brother He Yun, our little illness is nothing, and it doesn't hurt to endure it for a few more days." ”

The person who spoke was Yao Qingsheng, the guy who managed the dart in my dart game, he was weak, and he was the first to get sick among several injured brothers, and he was the most seriously ill, and he was already a dish when he spoke.

Before his words fell, Jiang Shun said lightly, looked at Yao Qingsheng and said: "You guy seems to be weak, but he is also a man, but you don't want to, I still want to go to the city for a mile, hehe." ”

Hearing Jiang Shun suddenly say such words, He Yun immediately said happily: "Senior Jiang, you agreed?"

Jiang Shun was leisurely at this time, snorted, and said with an unfathomable smile: "Why is it difficult to enter a small city? But if there is no money, Jiang will return empty-handed even if he enters the city." ”

Baili Tu was also overjoyed, and rushed forward and said: "It would be better to have Jiang's seniors to help, and we will take the silver taels with us." Old Zhou, Old Zhou, come here!"

Hearing the shouts of the Baili disciples, Zhou Huairen hurriedly ran over from the middle of the team, bowed down and smiled: "Baili Dart Master, what's the matter?"

Baili said: "Old Zhou, you quickly take some silver taels out, so that Senior Jiang can enter the city to buy some medicinal materials." ”

Probably Zhou Huairen also heard the conversation we had just now, and immediately smiled: "Okay." He took off the burden from his back, reached out and groped in for a while, found a stack of thick silver tickets, pulled out one and said, "Baili Dart Master, is one hundred taels enough?"

The world's dart bureau was seized, and our carriage and goods were all seized by the government of Chenzhou City, leaving only the money and silver to be kept by Zhou Huairen.

"Enough. Baili took the silver ticket and handed it to Jiang Shun, Jiang Shun pinched the silver ticket with two fingers, raised his eyebrows and said: "Jiang Mou has been a thief all his life, and it is the first time that he has used people's money to buy things for others, haha." Wait at the bottom of the cliff on the north side, and I'll go back. ”

As he spoke, he tapped one foot on the ground, jumped more than eight feet high, and before he could stay in mid-air, he suddenly slammed on the shoulder of Bailitu, and the afterimage of the whole person flashed, and rushed straight to the cliff to the north, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, never to be seen again.

Being trampled on the shoulders by Jiang Shun, even though it was the eight-foot burly body of Baili Tu, he couldn't help but stumble forward, Baili Tu turned around and wanted to take a look, but it was dark at the foot of the mountain, where could he still see Jiang Shun's figure? ”

They all let out a burst of laughter. Li Shubai suddenly sighed on the side: "The name of this Golden Flower Thief is really true, but this light skill, I am afraid that it is already a must in today's martial arts, if we can have such a character in the dart game, wouldn't it be like a fish in water?"

Zhang Han, who was standing beside him, also followed: "What Li Dart Master said is very true, dart head, it is better to wait for Jiang Senior to come back, we will ask him if he has this intention, if he has this intention, if he has this intention, he will be recruited to join the gang, with his skills, if he can help, he will definitely be able to strengthen our world dart game!"

He said it with great pride, and several other people were also excited when they heard it, most of them meant this.

I sighed to myself. They didn't know that Jiang Shun didn't have such thoughts at all, and they didn't know that I had the idea of dismissing the game. I said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, Senior Jiang is a master of the rivers and lakes, and he is used to the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, how can he commit himself to join us? Brother Zhang, you and Zhou Bosu go over there to set up the tents." ”

Zhang Han responded: "Yes, darthead." He turned around and beckoned back, while Zhou Huairen shouted, "Hey, the brothers in the back are following closely, go this way." ”

The cliffs on both sides of the gate of Minzhou City are the steep and dangerous mountains that are towering into the clouds, the mountain wall stands thousands of thousands, it is difficult for people to climb the rock, there are these two mountain cliffs in the north and south as barriers, and Minzhou City is more impregnable. When we reached the bottom of the cliff in the north, the crowd at the gate of the city gradually stopped, probably they all knew that there was no hope of entering the city at this time, and there was no longer any noise, and the mercenaries from the Central Plains saw that our group had arrived at the bottom of the cliff in the north, and they also rushed to follow suit, and at the foot of the mountain they distanced themselves from us and camped in a place, while those tribal refugees who had been exiled from Tibet seemed to have a tacit understanding to go to the bottom of the cliff in the south, and set up piles on the opposite side. Perhaps, this kind of thing is commonplace for the guards at the head of Minzhou City, we camped outside the city, but they did not reprimand and drive away.

Jiang Shun's speed was indeed fast enough, and when Zhou Huairen and the others hurriedly set up the tent, he also folded back from the city. We don't see exactly how he got into the city, nor how he got out of the city, but we only saw him flying down from the top of the cliff above us, carrying a canvas bag bigger than he was.

There were a lot of things he brought from the city this time. The cloth bag seemed inconspicuous, but when it was opened, there were more than 20 fresh pork hind legs and ten jars of spirits, in addition to that, there were a few packets of herbs and some bowls and jars, and even some condiments for barbecue.

Because of the wine, the Baili disciples were all excited, and immediately sent people to build five bonfires in front of the tent, peeled and removed the hair of the pork legs, and skewered them with iron rods to set up a frame. I didn't think it was funny to watch, but after camping outside the city for one night, they made it look like a simple banquet, and the mercenaries stationed at the foot of the mountain around looked at it curiously, as if we had picked up something remarkable at the bottom of the mountain.

After a few rounds of drinking, they were all a little drunk, Baili Tu, Yang Chong, and He Yun were still toasting each other, Jiang Shun held the waist knife and cut the pork leg meat on the fire frame, while Zhu Kui, Li Shubai and Zhang Han were drunk, and compared martial arts and danced knife skills on the side. Among several dart masters, the martial arts of the three of them are relatively low, and the sword skills are all ordinary foreign martial arts, with few essences, but their sword skills make them smooth, not fancy at all, and their body skills are solid and steady, which has also attracted a burst of applause from many mercenaries.

The brothers in the dart game have been coming to the Western Regions for a few months for me, and the horses have traveled to different places, and the journey has been tiring, and it is rare to be so hearty as tonight, but, watching them frolic, I can't mention too much joy, while holding a bowl and drinking wine slowly, my mind is full of things about the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall.

Now that I have offended the Seven Great Sects, if I continue to lead my brothers in the dart game to roam in the Central Plains, maybe it will really invite the disaster of the pond fish, right? But I am really unwilling to let me dismiss the dart game that I have worked so hard to maintain. Jiang Shun had warned me yesterday, but he didn't know that I was more than he thought. I thought about reviving the dart game with my own strength, breaking all the rules, completely tearing my face with the Seven Great Sects, and even thinking about leading this group of brothers to occupy the mountain as kings and set up their own doors. Maybe God's mercy can really make us do something great. Just thinking about it, back to reality, I can't think of any of my abilities or reasons for doing this. If I really want to fight against the Seven Great Sects, the only ones who will suffer in the end are the brothers in the dart game, and I don't know what the Gu poison on my body will develop into in the future. Thinking wildly in my head, I felt a pang of pain in my heart, and I raised my head and drank the rest of the wine in the bowl.

Today is April 15th, and the moon is round, standing alone in the blue night sky, but it is as cold as a block of ice.

Perhaps, leaving the game is really the best choice.

I shook my head, exhaled a long breath, put the bowl on the ground, grabbed the wine jar, and prepared to add another bowl of wine.

I was slightly startled, put down the jar in my hand, and turned my head to look, only to hear a rumbling sound far away in the west.
