Chapter 6 Entering the City

On a hillside full of greenery, a figure fell, bending the weeds beneath him, and a sparse sound came out. The man stood up straight www.biquge.info showing his face in a swaying meadow, and it turned out to be Wu Gui, who still had blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

As far as the eye can see, there are long crowds of people lining up on the broken road, some carrying burdens and heavy goods, some people leading carriages and slowly moving forward, some people are dressed appropriately and wearing satin, and some people are wearing short shirts, revealing their gray bodies. In the same way, the whole team wore long braids, and the front half of the head shone in the sun.

The direction the team pointed to was a city, two feet and five feet high, with a castle tower on it, a banner hanging on the side of the building, and soldiers standing under each banner. The whole wall is made of earth, extending from the city gate to both sides, and it is estimated that it is eight or nine miles long.

Wu Gui's makeup has changed, the plain practice clothes that should have been worn have now changed into a black gown, with a black hat on his head, red in the clip, a long braid hanging behind his back, and a burden on his shoulders, not containing something in it.

"Three months later, if you kill Huo Yuanjia, you will get a reward for completing the task, and if you fail, you will lose the perception of a hand. A cold voice sounded in Wu Gui's head, and some background was introduced.

The current world is not much different from the world in which Wu Gui lives, but one is in the twenty-first century, and this world is still in 1901.

The city that Wu Gui saw was called Tianjin City, and the name Tianjin was given by Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty. Because this is the ferry port where he went to the capital to seize the throne, it was named Tianjin, which means that the Son of Heaven crossed the river.

Huo Yuanjia lived in this city, thirty-two years old, it was the age of the fight, a pair of arms had the strength of a thousand catties, so he was also known as Huo Hercules, and enjoyed a reputation in Tianjin.

Wu Gui's baggage contained identity credentials, five thousand taels of silver tickets, and a desert eagle that should not belong to this era, and it seemed that he hoped to buy Huo Yuanjia with silver money or kill Huo Yuanjia with a pistol.

"How my injuries are healed. Wu Gui asked in his mind.

"This is a preparation for you, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to go inside Tianjin. ”

"Thank you. Wu Gui lined up at the back of the line, squirming forward step by step, the scorching sun shining on his face, and large beads of sweat fell from his face from time to time.

Standing in front of Wu Gui was an old woman, on crutches, talking to the person in front of her. From the conversation, I knew that the old woman was a peasant around Tianjin, and she went to Tianjin to visit her son who was an apprentice in Tianjin.

After waiting for nearly an hour, it was finally time to enter the city. There were two groups of soldiers standing under the city gate, and they could not say that they could stand, but they sat on the ground resting with their weapons, and there were two soldiers in front of the city gate, dressed in armor, with long knives pinned to their waists, and a basket was placed on the side, but everyone who entered the city threw a few copper plates into the basket.

The old woman in front lost two copper plates and easily entered the city, and when it was Wu Gui's turn, she lost two copper plates in the same way, planning to follow the old woman into the city.

"Brother, alone?" A soldier asked, putting his arm around his shoulder.

"Yes. Wu Gui replied.

"I suspect you have contraband in your baggage, come and check it out. The soldier took him aside, and the sergeant who was sitting saw it, and several people gathered around him.

"What's in the baggage, open it and check it. One of the soldiers went directly to grab the burden with his hand and said viciously.

"Poor master, there are some silver tickets and some sundries in it. Wu Gui said in a deep voice, "Why bother me." Wu Gui put his hand on the shoulder of the leading sergeant, and suddenly smiled, "Poor master, please make it convenient." After saying that, he took out a handful of broken silver and stuffed it into the leader's hand.

"Okay, let's go. The leader shook the silver in his hand, waved his hand and pointed out a way.

When Wu Gui turned around, the leader patted the body of the person next to him and said loudly, "Close, there's nothing to see." ”

The man who was photographed walked to the side of the city wall and said to the people who were resting, "Follow him and see where he settles." A quick-looking man followed.

The leader sat under the city gate, rubbed his shoulders, a piercing pain lingered in his brain, and he pulled the clothes on his shoulders, and five bright red fingerprints kept stimulating his nerves. "Take a look at it for me, I'll go first, and remember to notify me when there is news." ”

Crooking his shoulders, the leader swayed away from the city gate, and scolded secretly in his heart, **** uncle, if you weren't worried about the money in your baggage, I would have to pick your skin.

When I touched the burden just now, with experience, there was a stack of silver tickets and a short gun in it, if I opened it on the spot, I could naturally catch that person and repay the hatred on my shoulder, but the ownership of the silver ticket had nothing to do with me, and if I used it, would I still be able to live?

There is still a chance, when his residence is discovered, if there is no backstage, I will teach him to look good, whether to cut him one by one, or give him a good time. Haha, let's talk about it then, if there are more silver tickets, give him a good time.

Wu Gui walked in the city of Tianjin in 1901, shaking his head and looking around, the houses on both sides are lined up, restaurants, butcher shops, tea rooms, foot shops, etc., there are silk and satin, fine wine and delicacies, jewelry and spices, all walks of life are in the shops, and there are small traders on the street, selling all kinds of snacks and goods. There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets, businessmen doing business, gentry watching the street scene, readers carrying bookcases on their backs, tourists from other places asking for directions, and beggars begging on the streets...... Men, women, young and old, Shinong, businessmen, businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything.

All kinds of things surprised Wu Gui, more than a hundred years of the city, although the country has suffered from the invasion of other countries, but these pedestrians on the street are still tidying up their small lives as if they are nothing, even the Gengzi Rebellion that occurred last year seems to have disappeared in the busyness of these pedestrians.

Wu Gui came to a teahouse, ordered a pot of oolong tea, ordered a few snacks, and sat down in a window position, looking at the pedestrians on the street and listening to the conversation between the people in the teahouse.

As a place where the three religions and nine streams often come and go, the teahouse can always hear all kinds of obscure news, whether it is true or not, it can be said in a good way, splashing saliva three times, and the face is red, as if the narrator has experienced it himself. Of course, there are also whispered conversations, two people with their heads down, talking softly, for fear that the louder voice will be heard by others.

Whether it is loud or soft, it is not certain whether the news they say is true, some of them are loud and loud, and perhaps they are all known to everyone, except for a little gossip, everything else is true, and some of them are whispered, but they may be false news, for the purpose of spreading rumors or other ulterior secrets. In short, the truth of the news depends on one's own selection.

Wu Gui sipped the tea, enjoyed this rare purity, like a passerby, admired the beauty of this world, ignored the evil of this world, if there is trouble to come to the door, don't worry too much, just find a place to solve it, such as the person who has been following from the city gate.
