Before Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen came to Huiyang City, the city gate had not yet opened, but there was already a long queue outside.
These were the peasants who lived outside the city, carrying firewood and vegetables to sell, or going into the city to replenish necessities, as well as the traders who came back overnight.
Seeing Qu and Zuo riding a tall horse, there was a little commotion in this team.
At the same time, a man leaned out of the city and asked, "What are you two doing?"
The dynasty is strong, and the official attitude towards the Jianghu people naturally seems tough.
Zuo Chengwen didn't speak, but took out a small blue square that was folded very carefully from the burden on the side of the saddle, then found the thread and gently tied it to his spear.
When everything was done, he cocked his spear and shook it vigorously. Suddenly, a wordless sky blue flag appeared in front of everyone.
"It's the symbol of the Tiannan Dart Game!"
As the Tiannan Dart Bureau that Jiangzhou merchants and traders can never bypass, their banner is naturally well-known by countless people.
Therefore, when Zuo Chengwen put out this sign, the small merchants and vendors in front of him, or the farmers with some knowledge, couldn't help but whisper.
The man at the head of the city seemed stunned for a moment when he saw the flag, but he quickly retracted his head and said no more.
Outside Huiyang City, Zuo Chengwen held the sky blue banner like this, straightened up and stood on the horse.
Qu Mingde looked at this banner with countless prestige, with that tempered smile on his face, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
The morning light gradually brightened, and the city gate "creaked" and was pushed open by several sergeants.
Seeing this scene, there was a little commotion in the crowd again. But no one dared to break through until the gates were fully opened.
Whoever breaks in before the gates are opened, behead!
The criminal law of the Great Zhou Dynasty is cruel, this is not just talk. At this moment, it was the heyday of the dynasty, and the people of Shengdou naturally did not dare to violate the king's law.
The two stood outside the flow of people, seeing that the long queue had gradually disappeared, but Zuo Chengwen had no idea of taking a step forward.
Although Qu Mingde didn't know what he meant, he didn't ask out loud, just reined in his horse and stood on the side.
As time passed, Zuo Chengwen's hand holding the banner was still stable, but his face gradually became ugly.
Time blink of an eye, and the sky is already bright.
"Brother Zuo, do we need to go to the city?" asked Qu Mingde.
"No, wait a little longer. Zuo Chengwen replied.
Seeing this Zuo Chengwen, whose face was gloomy and vaguely wanted to be able to drip water, but his body was already straight, Qu Mingde knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to close his mouth.
At three moments, seven or eight people ran out of the city gate in a panic.
These people were uniformly dressed in gray suits, except for a small patch of blue on their chests, the same blue as the wordless sky blue flag.
"Hold the flag, your subordinates are late, and you deserve to die!" As soon as those people saw Zuo Chengwen's yellow horse under his crotch and a spear in his hand, they immediately knelt on one knee and clenched their fists with both hands to plead guilty.
Qu Mingde never knew that in the Tiannan Dart Game, the relationship between superiors and subordinates was so strict. So much so that after these people saw Zuo Chengwen, they even knelt down directly regardless of the fact that this was outside the city gate where people were coming and going.
Qu Mingde rode his horse slightly away from their front.
As for this person calling Zuo Chengwen Zhangqi, it is obviously his position in the dart game. In this way, it is appropriate.
"Why are you late?" Zuo Chengwen asked in a cold voice on the horse.
This cold voice can be heard by everyone, Zuo Chengwen is very angry now, and the Tiannan Dart Bureau kneeling in front of his horse is naturally no exception.
"Holding the flag, the subordinates and others are not late for no reason, but the rudder in the city was attacked last night and injured many brothers. The man replied, "Just because I have lost time by settling these brothers, please bear the flag and forgive my sins." ”
"Let's get up first. When Zuo Chengwen heard this person's words, his tone slowed down a little, but he did not change the gloomy color on his face because of this.
"Thank you for the flag. The crowd stood up in unison.
At the gate of the city, there were many people coming and going, and naturally many people saw this scene. But although there are many people who see it, there are very few who dare to take a second look.
"Let's talk about it in the advanced city. Zuo Chengwen commanded.
Hearing Zuo Chengwen's words, the leader of the group of people who came to greet him did not immediately agree. Instead, he glanced at Qu Mingde quite hesitantly.
"What?" Zuo Chengwen naturally noticed this person's eyes, and after glancing at Qu Mingde, he turned to the man and asked.
In fact, Qu Mingde was also very puzzled at the moment, what was this person doing with a good look at himself? Could it be that in the Huiyang rudder of the Nandart Bureau that day, what could not be seen by outsiders?
"Hold the flag!" the man hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome to enter the city like this." ”
"What trouble!"
"This young man's crotch is obviously a military horse. If you swagger in like this, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble. ”
He said Qu Mingde, and he was right, the horse under Qu Mingde's crotch was indeed a military horse that Lao Chen got from the garrison of Fuli City. Only such horses can make Qu Mingde run hundreds of miles overnight.
Zuo Chengwen didn't expect there to be such a thing, so he looked at Qu Mingde at this moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Haha, this brother has good eyesight, but he doesn't know what to do now?"
Zuo Chengwen was not good at speaking, but Qu Mingde didn't seem to have all kinds of scruples, and after admitting it calmly, he asked the man.
"If the young man can trust the villain, he might as well get off the horse and hand it over to me. This horse, we have a place of sustenance, and when the young man leaves Huiyang, he will naturally return to Zhao. The man bowed to Qu Mingde and said.
"Of course that's fine. Qu Mingde said and jumped off the horse, led it to the man, and handed the reins over.
From behind the man, a man stepped forward to take the reins and stand aside again.
Zuo Chengwen looked at it at this time, and suddenly jumped off the horse and said, "In this case, take my horse with you, put it together with Brother Qu, and take good care of it." ”
It's just that although Zuo Chengwen said this, the man didn't dare to take it for a while.
Everyone knows that the horses under Zuo Chengwen's crotch are the descendants of the Jade Dragon Horse mounted by Zuo Jianzhang, the overlord of Jiangzhou.
Such a BMW, waiting for idlers, how dare they take it at will. Even this person, who was originally under the Tiannan Dart Bureau, was very embarrassed at this time.
"In the dart game, Ben ......" the man wanted to say something.
But Zuo Chengwen was unwilling to give him a chance to finish, and directly handed over the reins. Then he said, "Go to the city!"
