After running out of tea, everyone hit the road again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, Liu Yunfeng and the others no longer rode in front of Li Yan and the others as Fang Cai, but fell behind Li Yan and the others as usual.

Falling behind, Liu Yunfeng and Zhu Jian deliberately paid attention to the sky, and sure enough, they saw that above their heads, there were three flying eagles hovering all the time. Both are people with great eyesight. Although the flying eagles flew very high, the two of them could judge that the three flying eagles were very large in size and had an extremely wide wingspan, unlike the common flying eagles in the Central Plains.

Moreover, during the journey, Liu Yunfeng and Zhu Jian did see that when occasionally a flock of pigeons and other birds wanted to fly in the sky, the three flying eagles above their heads would come forward to drive away.

After the two and Zhang Ming looked at each other a few times, they saw Zhang Ming nodding affirmatively, and then remembered the "Difficult to Walk" and "Killing Hu Order" played by the old Tao before, and they were secretly vigilant in their hearts.

The others rode behind Liu Yunfeng, Zhu Jian, and Zhang Ming, and saw that the three of them looked up at the sky from time to time, and nodded to each other, although they were not sure what was going on, they also realized something, and each raised their vigilance.

During the ride, twenty miles of road, in an instant, it has been completed. As far as the eye can see, a majestic city is already in front of you. From a distance, the city walls are tall and majestic. Above the city wall, faintly visible, the flag is flying. Under the reflection of the sunshine, a cold light flashed on the city wall, which was obviously caused by the reflection of sunlight from the weapons in the hands of the officers and soldiers stationed on the city wall.

This city is the largest city in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Xiangyang.

Near Xiangyang, when Liu Yunfeng, Zhu Jian and Zhang Ming looked up again, the three flying eagles above their heads had already flown over Xiangyang. In the sky above Xiangyang, there were actually three flying eagles circling and flying. The six eagles first merged into one, and in an instant, they flew away again. Four of them, each occupying one of the four sides of the city's sky. The other two flew and circled directly above the center of the city.

Liu Yunfeng, Zhu Jian and Zhang Ming saw that there were still three flying eagles here, and looking at the circling route of these flying eagles, it was obvious that someone was controlling them on the ground, and the three of them looked at each other again. There is a solemn look in the eyes.

And while they were riding, they were all outside the gates. I saw two rows of officers and soldiers outside the city gate, armed with knives and guns. Stand solemnly. On the side of the officers and soldiers, there was a general, standing with a knife on his waist. In addition to the two rows of officers and soldiers, there were four guards in charge of the check, carefully examining the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gates.

Li Yan, Cai Zhuo and Wu Jidong stepped forward. After getting off the horse, taking out the customs clearance token, and revealing his identity, the general at the gate of the city hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Li Yan, Cai Zhuo, Wu Jidong, Zhu Jian, and Zhu Yan brothers successively. Then, with a wave of his hand, the commander was about to let the people into the city gate.

Everyone was about to enter the city with the reins of their horses in their hands, when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them. Everyone looked back, but they saw above the official road. From far and near, the dust was flying, and dozens of horses were galloping. Seeing that the speed of the ride was extremely fast, everyone on both sides of the official road and at the gate of the city who was waiting to enter and exit avoided one after another.

When the dozens of horsemen gradually approached, Liu Yunfeng and the others looked at each other, and their faces sank. Not only Liu Yunfeng and the others, but among the crowd waiting to enter and exit outside the city gate, there are sharp-eyed and knowledgeable people who have also seen the outfits of the riders. Exclaimed: "Northerners!"

Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan glanced at each other, got on the horse at the same time, and rode their horses to meet them. Zhu Jian stood in front of him with the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and shouted: "Stop!" Tie Zhu, Dugu Han and Zhang Ming also turned over and got on their horses. took out his weapons and stepped forward to stand side by side with Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan.

After Zhu Jian, Zhu Yan, Tie Zhu, Dugu Han and Zhang Ming all got on their horses and stopped outside the city gate, the generals guarding the city gate wanted to quietly exchange a look with Li Yan, but saw that Li Yan also had a gloomy face. Wu Jidong glanced at the general, and the general shouted: "Close the city gate!" turned over and rode on the war horse beside him, led two rows of sergeants, and stood behind Zhu Jian and the others. On the city wall, there was also a rapid sound of bangs.

Liu Yunfeng had already seen this scene in his eyes, but his face was silent.

Several horsemen who galloped forward saw that there was someone outside the city gate, and they began to ride their horses. The first two riders seemed to be unable to close the momentum, and went straight to Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan.

At this time, the two horses were close, and everyone could see clearly, and the two people on horseback were all dressed as northerners. And the horses under these two people look extremely miraculous, and they are first-class Northland war horses.

Both of them are tall and strong. One of them had a mace in his hand. In the other person, beyond the shoulder, a large hammer was exposed.

Zhu Jian saw that the northerner with a mace in his hand came straight to him, and rushed forward on his horse, drawing a halberd in the sky in his hand, facing the comer, and stabbing it out in the chest. Zhu Yan jumped up on his horse and struck down on the volley of the northerner with a sledgehammer on his back, shouting: "Get down!"

The northerner holding the mace saw Zhu Jian's Fang Tianhua halberd stabbing at him, and slammed the mace in his hand forward, hitting the halberd body. Zhu Jian and the people who came felt a shock to their bodies, and the horses under them stopped at the same time.

This blow seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact, the other party had some advantage over Zhu Jian. Zhu Jiannai was temporarily riding a horse forward, and his momentum was limited. And the other party took advantage of the horse's galloping momentum to make a move, and he borrowed the horse's momentum, which was already a great borrowing.

On Zhu Yan's side, the other party saw Zhu Yan flying away from the war horse and hitting him, but he didn't have time to take the weapon on his back, stretched out his two hands and greeted Zhu Yan's hands.

As soon as the two of them put their hands together, Zhu Yan grabbed his hand and instantly buckled the tiger's mouth point above the opponent's hands. Zhu Yan was about to continue to take his arms along the other party's hands, but the other party was very brave, and his arms used force to shake Zhu Yan off. Zhu Yan's hand tightened, and he pulled the other party off the horse. Both fell to the ground at the same time.

Zhu Jian failed to make a contribution with one blow, and the move of Fang Tian's halberd in his hand changed, and after pressing the opponent's mace downward, he went straight to the opponent's door. After Zhu Yan and his opponent landed at the same time, the two did not separate their hands, and Zhu Yan's hands had already held the joints of the opponent's forearms respectively.

Seeing that the two brothers of the Zhu family had already moved, Tie Zhu, Dugu Han and Zhang Ming knocked down their horses and headed towards the two northerners who were fighting against Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan respectively.

The iron pillar and the big axe were raised, and they were about to be cut off at the head of the northerner holding the mace. Dugu Han jumped up from his horse, stretched out the long sword in his hand, and stabbed directly at the northerners who were entangled with Zhu Yan. Zhang Ming rode on a horse, and the double hammer in his hand knocked the mace in the hand of the northerner holding the mace.

Seeing that Tie Zhu, Dugu Han and Zhang Ming were about to engage in battle with the two northerners, several shouts came from the dozens of horses that had stopped in front of them: "Stop!" "Bold!" With the shout, four long arrows roared straight towards the weapons in the hands of Zhu Jian, Tie Zhu, Zhang Ming and Dugu Han.

Seeing that the long arrow was coming very quickly, the four of them each blocked the weapon in their hand and blocked the long arrow flying towards them. In this block, Zhu Jian, Tie Zhu, Dugu Han and Zhang Ming felt that the long arrows they blocked were extremely fierce and powerful.

The northerners holding maces saw that Zhu Jian and the others were stopped by flying arrows. The mace in his hand swung horizontally across his chest, no longer attacking, but he did not retreat.

Ground. Zhu Yan and another northerner are still entangled. Zhu Yan's grip was exquisite, and he had already held the northerner's forearm. But the northerner was extremely strong, and after his forearm was taken away, he actually used the wrestling skills of the northerners, constantly swinging his shoulders. I want to get rid of Zhu Yan. At the same time, the northerner leaned on his legs and wanted to trip Zhu Yan.

Zhu Jian saw that dozens of other horsemen had already arrived, several of them were holding longbows and putting arrows on the bows, and several of them also held weapons in their hands, staring at a few of them, so he shouted in a deep voice: "Second brother." Stop!"

When Zhu Yan heard this, his hands loosened, and one fell upside down and fell back on top of his horse. The northerners who were entangled with Zhu Yan seemed to be resentful, and were about to go behind him to get the weapons on their backs, and among the dozens of horses, there was already a faint voice, and he said a few words in a short way. What the voice said was not the language of the Central Plains, and everyone didn't know what it was saying.

The northerners heard this. Hurriedly put his hand down, stretched out his hand to take the reins of his war horse, and stood aside.

Seeing that both sides had stopped, the general guarding the city gate immediately stepped forward. He shouted, "Who is coming, and why are you riding outside the gates?"

The northerner holding a mace shouted: "The third prince and the national teacher under the command of the wolf lord are here, you southerners, why don't you get off the horse and greet them?!"

Without waiting for the general to answer, Zhu Yan shouted: "Wu Nabei dog, dare to come here?!"

Dozens of riders came. It seems that everyone understands the language of the Central Plains, and everyone is furious when they hear it.

During the ride, Yiqi slowly stepped forward and asked Zhu Yan in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency, why did you insult us?"

Zhu Yan was about to shout angrily again, when a cry came from inside the city gate: "Everyone, please stop, please stop!"

When the people looked back, they saw four horsemen rushing straight from the gate that was about to be closed. On top of the first ride, there was a civil official wearing a five-rank official uniform. I saw that this person was dignified and upright. Xu was riding a horse too quickly, and this person's face was slightly red, but it was even more official.

Behind this man was a general with a spear. This person was dressed in bright silver armor, and between his expectations, his tiger eyes were majestic, and he was majestic.

After that, there is a person who looks like a master and another civil official. The two of them didn't seem to be good at riding, not only their hats were crooked to one side, but their faces were also covered with sweat.

Before the first five-rank civil official arrived in front of everyone, he hurriedly shouted again: "Everyone, please stop!

After Li Yan and Cai Zhuo and Wu Jidong made a look, Li Yan stepped forward, stopped in front of the Wupin civil official, and asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, but is it Lord Tan of Xiangyang Prefect?"

Seeing that Li Yan, Cai Zhuo and Wu Jidong were all dressed in official uniforms, the five-grade civil official hurriedly turned over and dismounted. Looking at the posture of his dismount, he is very skillful.

After getting off the horse, the Wupin civil official bowed his hand to Li Yan and said, "The next official is the local prefect Tan Sihuai. Dare to ask who Shangguan is?"

Li Yan arched his hand and replied: "I dare not take the title of Shangguan as a god." This official is under the seat of the Prime Minister, the White Tiger Festival Hall, and the deputy envoy Li Yan. With that, Li Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at Cai Zhuo and Wu Jidong, and said, "These two are Lord Cai, the deputy envoy of the White Tiger Festival Hall, and Lord Wu, the commander of the Qingyun Army. ”

When Tan Sihuai heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand again and said: "It turns out that the Great Taibao under the seat of the Prime Minister is here! The lower officials have lost their welcome, rudeness, and rudeness!"

Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to take the title of the Great Taibao." Come, Master Tan, this official will introduce you to a few more. ”

After that, Li Yan bowed his hand to Zhu Jianyi, but his eyes looked at Tan Sihuai, and said, "Lord Tan, this is the eldest prince of the Baoguo Mansion. Then, he bowed his hand to Zhu Yan and said, "This one is the second son of the Baoguo Mansion." ”

Tan Sihuai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan and said, "Xia Guan had heard that the two little grandfathers were going out to Beijing on an errand, but they didn't expect that the two little grandfathers would be here today. It's really rude to be a lower official!"

After Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan immediately returned the salute, Zhu Jian said, "Lord Tan doesn't need to be polite. My two brothers, this time it was a bad trip. Adults don't know our whereabouts, so there's no rudeness. ”

After that, before Tan Sihuai could speak, Zhu Jian asked, "Lord Tan shouted that he had misunderstood, but what did he mean?"

Tan Sihuai arched his hand to Zhu Jian, and said with a wry smile: "Back to the little grandfather, the lower officials also received the news at the right time." When the lower official hurried here, he was almost a step late, causing a misunderstanding. ”

Zhu Jian asked, "What's the news?"

Tan Sihuai breathed a sigh of relief, and said a few words, but he said something that Zhu Jian, Liu Yunfeng and others were puzzled by. (To be continued.) )
