In the crowd, Qu Qingyan looked at the long dragon of people in front of her with great interest, her ear power was far beyond ordinary people, even if she was far away, she could hear the quarrel between the guards and the merchants at the city gate. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
It was a group of business trips who wanted to go out of the city, according to the other party, they were doing fruit trading, and they couldn't afford to delay at all, even if they stayed in the black chicken country for a day and a half, they would have to accompany them for a long time.
In order to get out of the city, the leader of the caravan did not hesitate to secretly stuff a bag of coins to the guards at the city gate, but the guards who were usually very talkative changed completely today.
Instead of accepting bribes from merchants, they threatened the merchants with swords not to block the city gates, and told him to hurry back to the city with his caravan of mules and horses, and if he did not leave, they would turn around and be detained.
The merchant seemed to be a person, and he looked like he had some status, and when he saw that good words could not be done, he immediately changed his appearance, took out something in the shape of a token, and shouted that he was an envoy of a certain country, and asked the guards to let him go immediately, otherwise he would go to His Majesty the King to complain.
As the saying goes, it is better to have money than to have power, and the merchant turned out the background of the official family, and the guards who had shouted at him before immediately became dumbfounded and looked somewhere secretly.
After a while, the guards looked at the position, and a smiling official came out, thinking that it should be the official in charge at the city gate, and with a smile invited the caravan leader to the side, and whispered a few words.
Qu Qingyan could hear it clearly, and it was clearly true
"This lord is slow and angry, this time the blockade of the city gate is really a very good move. ”
The leader of the caravan did not obey and said: "I don't care if you are acting extraordinarily, I am transporting melons and fruits from the east this time, and I really can't wait for a day, otherwise we will lose all our money if they rot, if you have to detain us in the city, can your country bear the loss." ”
The smiling official laughed a few more words and whispered something, this time the voice was too low, Qu Qingyan only vaguely heard the words "king" and "national treasure".
When she was in doubt, the leader of the caravan "kindly" helped her clear her doubts, only to see the other party exclaim: "What!
The official hurriedly made a silent gesture and signaled to the caravan leader not to make a loud noise.
Then he said: "It is precisely in this way that the king will order the city gate to be blocked, and the entire capital will enter a state of martial law, and people outside the city need to be strictly inspected when they enter the city, and the people in the city are not allowed to go out at all, and it is His Royal Highness the eldest prince who is in charge of this matter, so we dare not let you out even if we have the courage to do so, please be considerate." ”
The leader of the caravan rolled his eyes, knowing that the king and the eldest prince of the Wuji Kingdom were involved at this time, so his caravan would not be able to get out no matter what, so he sighed and said, "Eh! In this case, I don't embarrass my brother." ”
As he spoke, he took out a few gold coins from his bosom and stuffed them into the arms of the city gate official in a very secret way, "Let's wait in the city for another day, and I hope that your lord will remember today's words, and be the first to arrange for us to leave the city early tomorrow morning." ”
The city gate official is also a veteran, he stretched out his hand and weighed it, the gold coins in his sleeve, estimated the number of gold coins, and showed a knowing smile on his face: "Please rest assured, our Wuji country is one of the main routes between Xiniu Hezhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, no matter how anxious the king is, he can only close the city gate for a day at most, and the passage will be resumed early tomorrow morning, and then the lower official will definitely arrange for your people to go out of the city first." ”
The leader of the caravan nodded in satisfaction, turned his head and ordered his men to drive the mule cart back to the city, and ordered the most perishable melons and fruits to be disposed of on the spot.
This person is really a character, as soon as his group of people retreated, the crowd that was still gathered at the door to make a noise and wanted to go out immediately dispersed more than half, and he knew his own catties and taels when he thought about it, and felt that there was no hope of going out of the city, and most of the rest of the people also gave up their thoughts and wanted to join in the fun.
Once the people who went out of the city dispersed, the place at the city gate became a lot richer, but it accelerated the progress of entering the city in disguise, of course, there were also those who were originally going to enter the city, and secretly inquired about whether the Wuji country was allowed to enter or leave today, so they were ready to bypass here and go elsewhere.
Unlike Qu Qingyan, Wukong's attention was obviously drawn to other places, and his gaze stayed on those who entered the city.
After watching it for a while, he discovered something that he thought was interesting.
The same people who entered the city, but the soldiers guarding the city gate treated them with very different attitudes.
If you encounter people in tattered clothes, they often shout and curse loudly, and the search is also rough and unusual.
But if you meet people who are beautifully dressed and detailed, the voices of the soldiers will often be much quieter, especially these people will always take advantage of the lack of attention of others to stuff some shiny things into the sleeves of those soldiers.
Once the soldiers guarding the door accepted it, their attitude was the same again, and some even didn't even salute, so they just gave way.
Wukong was happy to see the hunting, and he looked at it, and also plucked a hair from his body, and the mysteries of the Xuan Jiu Xuan Gong Duan he cultivated were incomparably subtle, not only could he transform into other people or things, but recently the monkey also found that even the hair on his head could be transformed into other things.
After he plucked the hair, he just rubbed it in his hand, and it turned into a few silver ingots of white flowers, which he threw up and down in his hand.
Qu Qingyan's attention was focused on the quarrel between the merchant and the city gate official at the city gate, and when he suddenly came back to his senses, he saw a few more white flowers and shiny things in Wukong's hand.
I vaguely recognized it as something used by mortals, it seemed to be called Yinliang, and said strangely: "Where did this come from?"
Wukong plucked a hair from his body again, looked left and right, and spotted the thing stuck in the head of a woman in front of him and took it with his hand, but this time it turned into a golden hairpin in the shape of a flying phoenix.
Qu Qingyan took the golden hairpin, his eyes were straight, and he touched it with his hand, but he couldn't feel the false transmission: "Brother Wukong, how did you do it, can you teach me." ”
Wukong shrugged his shoulders and said in the same voice: "This method is practiced by Xuan Jiu Xuangong. ”
Qu Qingyan was obviously a little disappointed, but she knew that the heavenly opportunity in the three-star cave of the slanting moon could only be understood, and Wukong couldn't pass it on to her even if he wanted to, but then she thought that as long as Wukong's brother would, would there be any difference between herself, so she was happy again.
After a long time, just when Wukong was impatient to wait, it was finally almost time for the two of them to enter the city, when the sound of horses' hooves galloping suddenly came from the city......
