Early the next morning, Zhang Jiuding and others had already packed up all their things, called a carriage, and prepared it at the door of the inn early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Feather sat in the carriage, driving on the gentle road very steadily, but the sudden pause made Feather's head hit the railing, Liu Yiyan almost fell from the seat out of inertia, but fortunately Jade pulled her.
Zhang Xiang looked at the person in the way with displeasure, this person was of medium stature, and the black robe looked a little cold.
"As the saying goes, good ......"
"Ah, it's you, General Gu!" Zhang Jiuding hurriedly interrupted Zhang Xiang who was about to say, "Good dogs don't get in the way", this person in front of him is really Gu Quanwu, how could he block his way, it looks like he should have come to see him off!
didn't have time to explain to Zhang Xiang, Zhang Jiuding had already made an appointment to get off the horse and hugged his fists and said with a smile: "General Gu is here to send me?"
Gu Quanwu laughed, "Yes, Mr. Jiuding, I admire you, I originally thought that Your Majesty would ...... But I didn't expect to close the town gate to you, it's a pity!"
Zhang Jiuding smiled slightly, he knew what Gu Quanwu was talking about, Gu Quanwu must have thought that he would come to his command, serve as the captain of Yuezhou and Dongfu, and follow him to experience more experience, but if this is the case, he will have no room for development, if he takes the risk of raising a private army, after being discovered by Gu Quanwu, he will definitely think that he wants to commit treason, and he may cut himself off on the spot.
"Actually, the gate of the town is very good, I heard that there are few wars there!" Zhang Jiuding looked at it and joked: "I still prefer to be quiet!"
Gu Quanwu laughed, beckoned to his subordinates, his subordinates came with a thing in both hands, there was a cloth covering it, Gu Quanwu lifted the cloth, and it was a sword inside, Zhang Jiuding saw that this sword was very peculiar, Gu Quanwu smiled: "This sword is actually an ornament, this sword is extremely blood-red, because it is soaked in animal blood, to ward off evil spirits!"
"It can't be black dog blood, right?"
"Hey, Mr. Jiuding is smart! ā
Zhang Jiuding said jokingly, but he didn't expect to guess wrong, the two looked at each other and laughed, and at the same time Zhang Jiuding felt that Gu Quanwu was so cute, Zhang Xiang saw that they were still chatting, and couldn't help urging, Zhang Jiuding had to hug his fists again, and said with a little disappointment: "General Gu, there will be a period later!"
"Mr. Jiuding, there will be a period later!"
Zhang Jiuding made the carriage back, Gu Quanwu stood on the left side of the city gate, watching him leave, the moment he turned to leave, Zhang Jiuding's voice came from his ears: "Mr. dare not be General Gu!"
Gu Quanwu sneered when he heard this, this Zhang Jiuding is really a strange person, he is not as good as the Chinese courtier of the dynasty, but he feels that this Central Plains person is very unusual, at least he tried to make friends with this person, but unfortunately he was sent to the town gate!
Thinking about it, Gu Quanwu had already walked away.
Zhang Xiang sat in the carriage and played with the decorative sword, he was amazed to see it, after all, this sword is too gorgeous, but unfortunately it is just an ornament!
During this period, he couldn't help but draw out his snake scale sword to compare, but as soon as he pulled out the snake scale sword, the tiger blood sword would tremble slightly, and the snake scale sword was also trembling, the former seemed to be gritting his teeth, and the latter seemed to be afraid.
The two of them were amazed, and the carriage went slowly, and it took seven days to reach the gate of the town.
Because the last time I came to the town gate, the guards here basically knew a man named Zhang Jiuding! The entry into the city was very smooth, and this place also belonged to the prosperous area, and it was not as poor as the last time, and finally Zhang Jiuding realized that because he had just been robbed by bandits last time, it looked like a place of escape.
There is a city lord's mansion in Zhenmenguan, which has been abandoned for a long time, because in the past, Zhenmenguan was not called Zhenmenguan, but called Zhenguan City, because it was too chaotic here, the bandits were strong one by one, after every robbery, it was like looking at the mood to decide the life and death of the people in their city, if the scraped things were not satisfied, the men would be killed, and the women would be snatched away!
It seems that the devil has come here, and the place was renamed Zhenmenguan, because twenty years ago, an old city lord killed two thousand bandits who entered the city to rob, and was surrounded and suppressed to death by the bandits.
Since the bandits killed the city lord once, they found that there was no city lord's town gate, just like a house without a dog, and they wanted to go in, so as long as there was a new city lord, they would try their best to kill them, until King Wu Yue found out that something was wrong here, and in anger, he sent 50,000 troops to pay directly, but found that the bandits here could not be eliminated at all, so he made an unequal treaty with the bandits, as long as he did not hurt the people in the city, as long as it was not too excessive, he King Wu Yue turned a blind eye!
Of course, the people did not know about this treaty, and he warned the bandits that whoever wanted to leak this treaty would usher in the tragic fate of extermination.
Zhang Jiuding and the others came to the City Lord's Mansion and found that the scale of this City Lord's Mansion was really small enough, and it looked like three Beijing courtyards!
Zhang Jiuding's coming to admit his fate has not yet been announced, so he knows that the guards at this gate know that Zhang Jiuding took out his official seal and asked them to clean up the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, and they waited to stay.
Then put the carriage in the courtyard and prepared to go out for a walk, but Zhang Xiang and Liu Yiyan didn't go, because Liu Yiyan wanted to pick out the best location and chose to live there.
Zhang Xiang also suddenly twisted and pinched, Zhang Jiuding didn't think too much, and took the three of feather and jade to go shopping!
Zhenmenguan is not small, and it will take several days to complete them all, so they want to go to the most prosperous place, and the most prosperous place in Zhenmenguan is Zhensoul Street.
The reason why it is called Zhensoul Street, because twenty years ago the most people died here, the people all wore it, the watchman came here in the middle of the night, there will be an inexplicable cry coming, and you can see a shadow drifting by, it is said that the beating people who died here, there are three people, until now there is this legend, there is a young man who does not believe in evil, he has to come out at night, and he encountered these things, he was scared stupid at that time, and when he met someone, he shouted for help, let me go, and then he got seriously ill, and died before thirty!
And every night, you will find that other places are pedestrians, but the most prosperous town soul street during the day, there is not a single passer-by, every household has the lights on, guarding the house, and there is a gossip mirror in front of every house.
