Chapter Forty-Eight: Passing through Le Jin City
On the top of the county hall, Su Lao Er told the whole story of the matter, and said to the county order: "My lord, this is how things happened, my third brother's death has nothing to do with my eldest brother, it was all done by me, if you want to kill or chop, all come at me, right?"
The county magistrate stood there, looked at Huaizhong with his eyes, and then looked at Han Jiangliu and a few people, Han Jiangliu said to the county magistrate: "I hope that the lord will enforce the law impartially." ”
The county order said: "Okay, let Boss Su go." ”
Several officials came over, supported Boss Su, who was dying and could no longer speak, and carried him out of the hall.
Huaizhong got up from his seat and said to the county order: "This position is still yours." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "Two brothers, little fairy girl, the matter here is over, and we should also go on the road." ”
"Good. ”
A few people left the lobby and were about to leave.
The county commander beckoned and said, "Master Han, you go slowly." ”
Han Jiangliu turned around and asked, "My lord, do you have anything else?"
The county order said: "When you see Lingzun, you must say a few good words to the county." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell the truth." A cold sentence, the county order was up and down, and I was nervous, I don't know how long I can keep my official position.
The final result of this incident was that Su Lao Er was sentenced to death for homicide, and the county order reported the trial results layer by layer, and after a period of time, the superiors finally approved it and agreed to the death penalty, and publicly beheaded Su Lao Er in the people's square of the county.
Su Lao Er had no complaints, and it could be said that he was tortured with a smile.
The cannon rang out three times, and the head fell to the ground.
At this time, Boss Su's stick injury was completely healed, and when he rushed over, the second brother was already dead.
Boss Su was grief-stricken, he was really sad, when the two brothers were alive, he was very ruthless, and he didn't take care of or even bullied the two brothers, and now there are no relatives in the world, he understands the truth of brotherly friendship, but it's too late.
Later, Su Boss's Yuelai Inn finally couldn't run anymore, and sold it to a Zhejiang businessman, and he became a beggar in the red dust, walking the streets and alleys every day, begging for food to make a living, and telling people the story of his brother everywhere.
That's not to say.
Besides, on the same day, Han Jiangliu and the others left the county hall, and on the barren mountain, they were reckless and firm, and the golden scale eagle, the blue tiger, and the two-tailed rhinoceros followed closely behind them.
Zhou Kang said: "General Han, now that we have three divine beasts, we don't need to ride horses." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "Yes. And he said, "Brother Zhou Kang still rides his golden scale carving." ”
Jing Xiaoxian said: "General Han rides a two-tailed rhinoceros. The two-tailed rhinoceros is a pet that she has kept since she was a child, and she hopes that Han Jiangliu can ride the two-tailed rhino.
Huaizhong said: "Then I will ride this blue tiger." ”
This arrangement was decided, but when Han Jiangliu wanted to step on the two-tailed rhinoceros, the rhinoceros shook his head and tail, saying that he would not let Han Jiangliu step on his back.
Han Jiangliu thought about it, understood, and said, "I can't do it, whoever surrenders it, he will obey whomever he wants." ”
Jing Xiaoxian said, "It won't be like this. "I used my hand to pull the horn of the two-tailed rhino, but the two-tailed rhino still stubbornly refused.
Zhou Kang said, "Brother Huaizhong, you come and try." ”
Huaizhong didn't say a word, walked forward, the two-tailed rhino knelt down directly with both feet, was unusually tame, and honestly let Huaizhong ride up, showing an extremely loyal look.
Han Jiangliu laughed and said, "It seems that this guy has nothing to do with me." ”
Zhou Kang said: "General Han is good to ride the Blue Tiger. ”
When Han Jiangliu stepped on the Blue Tiger, the Blue Tiger was very attached to Han Jiangliu.
Jing Xiaoxian said faintly: "It seems that which person controls which beast is like a matter of heaven!"
Zhou Kang said: "Everyone has mounts, is there any other horse in the mortal world that the little fairy girl has, in that case, she will fall behind." ”
Jing Xiaoxian pouted and said, "Yes, I divided it back and forth, but I didn't get anything myself." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "The little fairy girl and I will ride this blue tiger together." ”
"This, it's not very good!" Although he said this on the surface, he felt beautiful in his heart, if he could really ride with Han Jiangliu all the way, it would also be a very beautiful thing, as for after arriving at the Flame Island in the South China Sea, Han Jiangliu and the princess would be together, that was a matter of the future, and now they didn't think about it at all.
Zhou Kang said: "Why is it not good? Heroes and beauties, riding together, the scenery is beautiful all the way, and it is indescribably happy!"
"I hate it!" Jing Xiaoxian let out a coquettish snort, seemingly opposed, but in fact it was already acquiescing.
So they let the horses out into the wild and let them run free.
Han Jiangliu and Jing Xiaoxian rode the Blue Tiger, Huaizhong rode the two-tailed rhino, Zhou Kang still straddled his golden scale carving, and the four of them continued to move south.
Huaizhong was very dull all the way and didn't say a word.
Zhou Kang said, "Captain Huai, Brother Huai, what's wrong with you, it seems that your spirit is not very good." ”
Huaizhong said: "I'm thinking about the three brothers of the Su family, if they could have been harmonious at the beginning, they wouldn't have the current result." ”
Han Jiangliu said: "Alas, it's a pity enough, but no one can undo the past, so let it pass, and don't think about it anymore." ”
After everyone's persuasion, Huaizhong's mood was a little more relaxed.
Because of the control of the divine beast, the speed of walking is very fast, and you can walk at least three days a day. After a few days, we arrived at a large city.
It is really a Tongzhou Dayi, the city wall is high and can reach the clouds, magnificent and majestic. On the tower of the city, there are three big characters of Gao County - Le Jin City.
Han Jiangliu couldn't help but chant Li Bai's poem: "Grinding your teeth and sucking blood, killing people like hemp, although Jincheng is cloudy, it is better to return home early." ”
Jing Xiaoxian asked, "What are you talking about?"
Han Jiangliu said: "It is a poem by the poet immortal Li Bai, writing about the danger of Xishu. Looking at the three words of Le Jincheng, it seems to use Li Bai's poetry, which makes people feel that it is difficult to enter the city and difficult to live in chaos. ”
Zhou Kang said: "What are you afraid of, it's a dangerous city, we'll step on it, it's a chaotic state, let's help him become stable." ”
Huaizhong said: "General Han, Brother Zhou Kang, you see, what is there?"
Everyone looked at it, and saw that on the enemy tower of the city wall, there was a faint figure flickering, and after a closer look, they found that it was a team of soldiers, these soldiers were clearly armored, and they were holding weapons in their hands, especially those soldiers in the front row, with bows and arrows, and the tips of arrows pointed directly at their side.
The gates of the city were closed, and not a single person entered or came out.
Zhou Kang said, "In broad daylight, what is the situation?"
Huaizhong said, "It may be to guard against the invasion of enemy countries. ”
Han Jiangliu said: "We don't look like bad people from enemy countries. ”
Zhou Kang said, "I'll go up and have a look." Zhou Kang drove the golden scale carving and soared into the air.
Some bows and arrows on the city tower were pointed at Zhou Kang, and Zhou Kang shouted loudly: "Don't let go of the arrows, if you have something to say!"
It's quiet.
After a while, a man who looked like a general, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, stood on the city wall, and shouted: "Who are you? Why have you invaded us, and said that it was not a spy sent by the kingdom of Keliang?" ”
Zhou Kang said: "I'm a spy, we're just passing by, I want to find a hotel in the city to live in, let us in!"
The general said, "No, I can't let you in, who knows if you are spies?" Get out of the way, or I'll order someone to shoot arrows!"
The golden scale eagle slowly fell, and when he arrived next to Han Jiangliu, Zhou Kang said: "Brother, this general is unreasonable, he thinks we are spies, and he doesn't let us in, what do you think we should do?"
Han Jiangliu said: "It makes sense for them to be cautious, or let's take a detour and go to the next place to stay." ”
Huaizhong said, "Let's go to the next place, anyway, it's still too late." ”
A few people were discussing leaving Lejin City, and suddenly there was a knock of war drums in the distance, and after a while, they saw flags waving and embroidery ribbons fluttering on the horizon, and a team of people rushed over.
The centaur was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Han Jiangliu and the others saw that the number of these people was not large, about less than three hundred, but they were like tigers, horses like dragons, and they were abnormally healthy.
In particular, the general at the head, with a black helmet and black robe, his face was also pitch black, and he held an iron rod in his hand, and he spoke like a thunderbolt, and he shouted to the top of the city wall: " The soldiers and civilians of Lejin City listen, our Keliang country sent a large army to conquest you, asking you to surrender, if you surrender obediently, I can consider making you slaves and live for a few more years, if you dare to resist, one person resists and kills one, two people resist and kill two, if the whole city resists, then the whole city will kill no one left, I will make Lejin City become a scorched earth in a moment, and no crops will grow within ten years. ”
The words were buzzing, which made Han Jiangliu and the others feel pain in their ears.
There is no doubt that this is a bunch of unreasonable aggressors.
I only heard the general in silver armor on the city wall say: "We would rather die in battle, we will never surrender!" waved his hand and made a gesture, which meant to release the arrow.
And the arrows of the city were shot down like locusts.
Han Jiangliu and the other four people drove the three divine beasts and hurriedly retreated to the side, dodging the attack of the feather arrows, and those feather arrows rained down, all of which pounced on the three hundred black-armored invaders.
What is unexpected is that when these sharp eagle arrows hit those invaders, they did not have any effect, and they fell to the ground honestly, just like the arrows that Han Jiangliu shot at the golden scale eagle that had no effect.
Everyone has a question in their hearts, are these guys invulnerable?
Look closely at these three hundred or so invaders, their bodies are coated with a thick layer of pine oil, and the grease hardens, making them stronger than armor.
The black general who took the lead said: "With such a little ability, you still dare to argue with my Ke Liangguo? I really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!" He glanced at his subordinates and said, "Come on, let's rush!"
As soon as he said this, his men roared like a tide, and their horses rushed towards the side of the city wall.
