Chapter 11: The Dispute over the City Gate

"Drive~!" On the pipeline outside the north gate of Zhongshan City, Qi Yue waved his horsewhip and galloped to his heart's content, heading all the way to the north.

After three months, after a series of unpleasant things such as getting lost, being robbed by horse bandits, and having horses stolen from a black shop overnight, I finally arrived in Hengzhou City before the arrival of late autumn.

Three months of trekking, sun and rain have wiped out the only trace of immaturity on Qi Yue's body, dark and healthy complexion, coupled with ragged clothes, passers-by are unable to avoid it, avoid it from afar, and even some people point fingers.

However, now Qi Yue has no time to pay attention to these, and looks up at the three vigorous and powerful characters of "Hengzhou City", which are inscribed on the seventeen or eighteen zhang high city gate, "Such a high city tower, I am afraid that only the masters of the true martial arts realm can go up with light skills!" Thinking like this in his heart, he did not slow to follow the flow of people into the city

Inside.

"Stop!" a scolding in an unkind tone interrupted Qi Yue, and two spears crossed to block his way.

was suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, and when he looked at it, it turned out that it was two guards at the city gate who blocked his way, so he had no choice but to temporarily hold back his anger, "Two military masters, I don't know why you stopped me?"

When the surrounding passers-by saw this scene at this time, they stopped one after another as if they wanted to see the excitement.

The guard on the left had a pair of triangular eyes, and said in a lazy tone: "Why? You want to enter Hengzhou City even if you are a beggar? Get out of here as soon as possible! Otherwise, you will anger the military master and me, and you will not be able to eat and walk around!"

"Beggar?" said in surprise, looking down at his clothes, he suddenly understood, because he took the wrong road a few days ago, he strayed into the mountains, although he finally came out, but the last piece of clothing he carried was also torn by thorns, vines and other plants, and the long sword in his hand had already been thrown into the space for the convenience of hurrying, so it looked very down.

Since there was a reason for the incident, he couldn't be angry, so he could only explain patiently: "This military master must have misunderstood, he is not a beggar but a person who wants to go to the Ziyang Sword Sect to apprentice, because there were some accidents on the way, so he became like this."

I thought that after I explained, the other party would be able to let me enter the city, but I didn't expect the other party to suddenly laugh: "Haha... Haha, it's so funny! Everyone, come and hear that this beggar actually said that he was going to the Ziyang Sword Sect to apprentice! I heard you right! You can't find a better reason to lie! It's really laughing at me!" Not only him, but also the soldiers who were watching the excitement around him, also pointed at Qi Yue and laughed with him.

Looking at the faces of the soldiers, his heart was full of anger, "I'll tell you again, I'm not a beggar!!"

"Yes, yes, you're not a beggar, you're just a madman, and I've been fighting with a madman for a long time!" he said as he reached out to push Qi Yue away.

"You!!" Qi Yue couldn't hold back any longer, seeing the other party pushing towards him, he reached out and grabbed it and threw it backwards and threw it to the ground.

"Bold! Are you going to rebel! Someone!!" The soldiers who were still watching the excitement saw Qi Yue suddenly take action to put his people down, and immediately rushed over with weapons in hand.

With the shouting of one person, the soldiers at the city gate began to assemble in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Yue was surrounded, and the passers-by who were watching the excitement on the side saw that the situation was not right, and they had already scattered in a hurry for fear of causing trouble.

The soldier who had fallen down stood up with the support of others, and when he learned that he had been thrown down by the "beggar" in front of him, he couldn't hold his face, and immediately waved his hand, "Someone! This person is a spy of the enemy country! Take it down quickly!" A spy hat was instantly buckled on the top of Qi Yue's head.

The soldiers gathered more and more, but in a moment, the small city gate had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to be good today.

"Oh no! It's too impulsive!" Because it is located at the narrow gate of the city, he can't show his best body technique, and there are too many people here, and it is inconvenient to take the weapons in the space, if he is completely at a disadvantage in the fight, he has a faint regret in his heart at this time.

"Uh...... That one...... In fact, this is a misunderstanding, ladies and gentlemen, let's put down our weapons first, we have something to say!" "As the saying goes, people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, seeing that the situation is not good, Qi Yue decisively chose to lower his posture.

"Don't listen to him, everyone! The general said, but whoever takes down the head of the spy of the enemy country will be rewarded with a reward of 100 taels and promoted to the next rank, everyone will go up!" The triangular-eyed soldier saw that his people were a little shaken, and shouted in the crowd, luring them by the most direct method.

Sure enough, this condition was too tempting for the soldiers, and they didn't care whether the matter was true or false, and they rushed towards Qi Yue one by one.

"You wait for me!" At this time, no matter how much I hate that person, it will not help, and protecting my life is the most important thing now.

The right hand turned his finger into a sword, and he used the Sumeru change to move left and right, dodging the first wave of attacks, and the finger sword backhand pointed at the first soldier who rushed over beside him, and the situation was different from what he expected, at the moment of the point, the feeling of blocking the hard object between his fingers made his heart sink.

Bowing his head to dodge the spear that was slanting behind him, he took the opportunity to glance at the fact that everyone was covered with a layer of special armor, and it was difficult for him to hit the opponent's acupoint through a layer with his finger power.

"There is armor covering from the neck down to the thighs, and the head is also protected, so it seems that they can only take the opportunity to attack the neck" These people will never listen to their own explanations in order to rob the military merits, and the current situation can only fight to the death, regardless of the consequences.

The internal force is attached to the fingers, this is the move that Qi Yue has studied on the road these days, although the sword qi cannot be separated from the body, but it can play a role in killing the enemy invisibly, look at a tall soldier on the left, "It's you!" The wind is under his feet, an afterimage stays in place, and the body turns into a shock, the figure flashes, and it looks like he is about to kill the other party in seconds.

There was a rush of breath in the direction of the city, and it came in an instant, and even Qi Yue didn't see the figure clearly, only faintly felt a big hand lift himself up and throw it out.

This time he directly threw Qi Yue out of the encirclement, supported the ground with one hand and did a somersault, stepped on the ground and took two steps back, and after he stabilized, he looked up in the direction he had just been.

A man who is more than nine feet tall, with strange white hair, dressed in a strange fiery red robe, carrying a long knife on his shoulder, and hanging a gourd on his waist, it should be a good wine person, but this is not the most eye-catching, from the first sight of this person, he was shocked by the terrifying aura exuded by his body, like a wild beast.

Secretly swallowed his saliva, and forced himself to ask the other party: "Who is Your Excellency, why are you blocking me?"

The reason why he asked this was because he understood that the other party did not want his life just now but only separated the two, and he should not be in the same group as these soldiers, but the strange thing is that these soldiers don't seem to know him either, but they are forced by his momentum and don't dare to make a mistake for a while.

The other party glanced at him contemptuously, and was not in a hurry to answer, but took the gourd from his waist and took a sip, "Ah! good wine! But it's a pity that it's a little less!"

Although he knew that he was very far behind the other party, but it was the first time in his life that he was so despised, which was enough to make Qi Yue angry, and he just wanted to open his mouth to ask again, but someone behind him suddenly laughed: "Haha, you are so dissatisfied, this gourd jade elixir has cost me three months, and I haven't tasted a bite yet, what pity do you have!"

Turning around, a general in his thirties dressed in military armor walked out of the corner of the city, walking by without looking at Qi Yue with his head held high.

"Hmph, this is what you bet on and lost to me, and if you are not as good as others, you can only watch me drink!" said another big gulp in front of him, and the general who looked at it felt a pain in his flesh.

At this time, after the soldiers at the city gate saw this person, they seemed to have found the backbone, and they all rushed over at once, and stood in line, "See General Nangong!"

"Well, what's going on?

The triangular-eyed soldier who was embarrassed by Qi Yue before immediately stepped forward and pointed at Qi Yue and said, "General, we caught an enemy spies, and we were about to take it, but this ...... Belch...... This strong man suddenly came out to stop us, so it's up to the general to decide what to do now!"

"Oh, is it?" General Nangong heard this, and turned his head to look at Qi Yue.

Knowing that this person should be the person in charge here, whether he can get out today or not is all on him, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, his expression was solemn, and he saluted him: "This general, things are not like this, people passing by the rivers and lakes in the next ability, only because of some conflicts with your subordinates, so they are regarded as spies, and please ask the general to investigate!"

General Nangong saw that although Qi Yue was in rags, he was not afraid of his words, and he could still be calm and polite in the face of himself, plus he knew some about his subordinates, and he already believed a little bit in his heart at the moment, so he turned his head to look at the burly man, wanting to know the truth of the matter from him.

"Don't look at me, I just saw that both this kid and your men were killed, and I separated them for the sake of your face, and I don't know anything about the rest!"

General Nangong turned his head to look at Qi Yue, so frightened that he thought that the other party wanted to avenge his subordinates, so he quickly explained: "General, in the chaotic battle just now, I was unarmed, and your subordinates are fully equipped, so I have to be ruthless, so please forgive the general!"

nodded, apparently agreeing with Qi Yue's explanation, turned his head and pointed to a soldier casually, "You, come here!"

The soldier didn't expect to be ordered by the general, and he was a little apprehensive, so he walked over resignedly.

"I remember that you were on duty at the city gate today, and you told me everything you saw and heard, and if there was any deception, military law would be involved!" his tone was very stern, and he stared at the soldier deadly, as if he could know immediately if the other party lied.

It can be seen that this general usually governs the army strictly, and the soldier was so frightened by him that he immediately recruited everything, and the triangular eyes on the side of him were covered in cold sweat.

After snorting coldly, he turned his head to look at Qi Yue, and said apologetically: "This young man, I'm really embarrassed, it was because of the lax management of the army that such a thing happened, and today it almost caused a big disaster, but don't worry, I will do it in accordance with military law when I go back, and I will not tolerate it" As he spoke, he took a token from his body and handed it to Qi Yue.
