Chapter 15: The Castle Guard
At the end of the road, the city of Xiaomeng is in sight.
Beg frowned, Xiao Mengcheng's appearance was really disappointing. The rammed earth city wall with a height of three zhang, the low city gate building, a large flag wrapped in the flagpole on the city tower, and a few gatekeepers standing at the gate of the city with weak energy, the first impression of Xiaomengcheng is dilapidated.
Approaching the city gate, Beg saw a lot of thatch coming out of the city wall unwilling to be lonely, and was swaggering proudly with the wind. On the gate tower of this city gate, there is actually a wild fruit tree more than two feet high growing luxuriantly, and between the branches and leaves, dozens of fruits the size of children's fists are hung.
"Squeak~"
Don't beg for a tooth, and take a breath of cold air from between your teeth.
Lu Chengfeng's face became even more ugly, he tilted his neck, staring at the wall of Xiaomeng City, and after a long time, he snorted weakly. But he soon laughed again, squinting his eyes and smiling disapprenously: "Don't beg, fortunately I'm not the city guard here, I'm just the pawn here!
Glaring at Lu Chengfeng, Don Beg arched his hand at him weakly: "Congratulations to Gongzi, congratulations to Gongzi, Gongzi is not the city guard of Xiaomeng City, it is really the first great luck in life!
Zhang Hu, who was riding a mount, came over, and he said in a loud voice: "For the medicinal materials, minerals, tree timber, animal skins, animal meat, and barbarians in Mengshan!"
Zhang Hu pointed to Xiaomengcheng and talked eloquently, and introduced the situation of Xiaomengcheng.
Mengshan is rich in products, and no one can ignore the production of Mengshan. Therefore, Lu Guo, who had the right to rule Mengshan, deliberately built a city outside Mengshan and was responsible for the collection and transfer of all the products of Mengshan. At the same time, the barbarians in Mengshan often went out of the mountains to disturb the Lu State, and set up a city in Xiaomengcheng, which also played a role in pre-jǐng and defense, as soon as the barbarians came out, Xiaomengcheng bore the brunt of the barbarians, even if they couldn't stop it, they could delay them for a while.
Therefore, there are only 350,000 permanent residents in Xiaomeng City, and more than 200,000 floating people in the city who eat mixed food, and there are 12 battalions of city guards of the 3rd Brigade of Tiandiren, and the total number of troops is close to 8,000.
Eight thousand garrisons, even among other prosperous cities in the country of Lu, there are few such troops.
"I see!" Lu Chengfeng nodded thoughtfully: "Even if the garrison of Liyang City, the root of the Lu family, is only three thousand. This small city actually has 8,000 garrisons, no wonder it has to be accompanied by an army!"
While talking, the group had already arrived in front of the city gate, and Zhang Hu hugged his fists to Beqi and Lu Chengfeng.
"Brother Beggar, Gongzi Lu, say goodbye here, there will be a period later! Brother Beggar, this small Mengcheng is not a big place, if you have that thought, just come to find the eldest brother, I am, our team of brothers, usually live in the 'Tiger Courtyard' in the east of the city! That is our old nest!"
Explained a few words loudly, especially after telling him not to beg, Zhang Hu didn't even look at Lu Chengfeng, Shi Shiran joined a group of subordinates, rode the mounts of Lu Chengfeng's dead guards, and rushed into the city quickly.
The faces of the old black and the little black were a little ugly, and their dark faces were wrinkled fiercely.
Lu Chengfeng laughed dryly: "This Zhang Hu is very good, he is a person with a story." regards the son of a wealthy family as a poisonous insect and beast, a person who understands, and a boring person. Don't beg, what do you think?"
Looking at the distant backs of Zhang Hu and the others, Beqi said very frankly: "Brother Zhang Hu, he is a good person!"
Lu Chengfeng patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Oh, he is indeed a good person." That's it, the hunters will inevitably have to deal with the city guards, and in the future, I, the warden army, will take more care of them!
Beg nodded, and looked Lu Chengfeng up and down for a while. This pawn army, feelings are also responsible for the ordnance management of Xiaomeng City?
The people of Mengcun on the side also said hello to Beg, and quickly escorted more than 30 carts into the city. They are also not used to seeing Lu Chengfeng, the son of a wealthy family, and always feel that there is a thick wall between them and Lu Chengfeng, whether it is Lu Chengfeng speaking or doing things, they feel extremely awkward.
In particular, Lu Chengfeng's escort who fled for his life actually injured several villagers in Mengcun, and it was even more impossible for the people of Mengcun to have a good face towards Lu Chengfeng.
Although Lu Chengfeng generously gave a large amount of medical expenses to the Mengcun people, gave Zhang Hu the mounts of the dead guards, and gave away all the weapons and floating wealth of the black-clothed people, he still failed to exchange the favor of the Mengcun people. These simple men are just tendons, and Lu Chengfeng's guards provoked them, and even he became inhuman.
Sighing helplessly, Lu Chengfeng clapped his hands and looked at Beqi with a wry smile.
Beqi shook his head, pointed to the two dozen or so guards who were riding behind, hanging their heads like defeated roosters, and said coldly: "Gongzi still finds a way to recruit more people in Xiaomengcheng, just rely on them, it's useless, it's better to rush back and save wasting food." ”
Lu Chengfeng clapped his hands vigorously and laughed: "Yes, they are my guards, leaving them here, and wasting military rations to feed them." That's it, that's it, I'm naturally useful if you leave the mount, walk back to Liyang and tell Madame, just say that I have arrived in Xiaomeng City safely!"
When those guards heard Beggar's words, their faces were a little wrong, and when they heard Lu Chengfeng's order, they had the heart to draw their swords and kill Beg. Leaving the mount, he walked back to Liyang on two legs?
What's worse is that they are driven back by the son they serve in this way, what will the family think of them?
More than 20 knights climbed off their horses, not caring about the dirt on the ground, and hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Chengfeng to make amends.
Beg looked at these people coldly, and said with a calm face: "Childe, it's up to you." They don't seem to take your words seriously!"
Lu Chengfeng's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted: "Leave the mount and roll back to Liyang for me." Is it possible that you want me to use family law?"
The guards shuddered together, they looked at each other, and no longer daring to say anything, one by one they hung their heads and picked up their swords and bags, and slowly turned around and walked towards the way they came.
Don't beg said indifferently: "When you see a thief, you run away because you have no courage, if you abandon the Lord, you are disloyal, and if you don't obey the Lord's orders, it is a great rebellion." What can they expect them to do if this kind of waste is left with Gongzi? It is cheaper to recruit a group of available manpower in Xiaomeng City. ”
Lu Chengfeng looked at Beg thoughtfully, and nodded in agreement.
Bei Qi smiled indifferently and looked at Lu Chengfeng without evasion. Lu Chengfeng's gaze was deep and complex, and his godless eyes were like a dark curtain, and he didn't know how many unknown things were hidden. Beggar's eyes are as clear as water, and his eyes are also shiny as if they do not contain the slightest impurity, but the deepest part of his eyes is a dark blue water wave, and under the calm water waves, I don't know how many life-threatening whirlpools are hidden.
The two smiled at each other and looked at the gate of Xiaomeng City at the same time.
Suddenly, there was a dense sound of footsteps in the city, and three or four hundred people lined up in an honor guard and quickly came out towards the city gate. At the forefront of these people was a round, chubby Roshan, walking with difficulty, panting and wiping the sweat from his face.
"But the son of the Lu family is here? Lord Dianjun, Lord Dianjun, you are here, our city guards in Xiaomeng City have the backbone!"
Far away, the fat man cried out in that greasy, sweet voice. Listening to his words, it was obvious that he had come to greet Lu Chengfeng.
When this Roshan came to the front, Beqi saw his face clearly, and he couldn't help but fall for himself.
This guy's height is about the same as that of Mengcun, and his height is two meters away, but his waist circumference is afraid that he can have two heights of his own. All over his body, there was white and tender fat like water waves, and even the ears that were the most difficult to pile up fat were full of layers of delicate white meat, which looked no different from pig ears.
This person's facial features are even more jīng color, and Tuan Tuan has a meatloaf face, but the facial features on his white face are jīng so speechless.
Watery peach blossom eyes, but unfortunately two circles smaller. The bridge of the nose is straight, but unfortunately it is half an inch shorter. jīng's small cherry mouth, which was really about the size of a red cherry, was ruddy and dotted a little lower in the middle of his face, and the sweet voice came out of this small mouth.
shivered violently, don't dare to look at this person's figure, a pair of thief eyes, just quickly swept over the clothes of the big fat man.
The garments were made of fine silk. Beg suddenly relaxed, where there can be silk products, no matter how bad it is, it can't be there.
The golden crown on his head is made of purple gold, and the golden light is shining with purple energy. Purple gold is a good thing, in the Stolen Sutra, purple gold is a widely used basic material, whether a cultivator is making a flying sword or a magic weapon, it is indispensable to use a large amount of purple gold. This person can use purple gold to make a hair crown, which shows that there are purple gold deposits here, and it is not difficult to collect a large amount of purple gold.
The gold crown is inlaid with three thumb-sized gemstones and four pearls. The three gems were as bright red as blood, and at a glance, I felt hot all over. These are three gems that contain the energy of fire, and they are also treasures that cultivators can use.
Compared with the four pearls, the beads are ordinary goods. Mengshan is not near the sea, and it is already a luxury decoration to have four pearls embedded in the crown of the hair. However, those three gems must be found out whether they were purchased from other places or produced locally in Mengshan.
In addition, the jade belt around the fat man's waist is very conspicuous, especially the fist-sized oval water-green sè jade in the middle of the jade belt, which makes Bei beg even more excited. Where is the ordinary treasure jade, it is clearly a medium-grade 'green lan stone', which is a kind of water xìng spirit stone.
But the most valuable thing is not these things, but a gold sè ring on the thumb of the fat man's right hand, which is inlaid with a red sè crystal the size of a soybean. When he saw the ring, Beggar's heart was about to jump out.
The gold sè ring is made of 'Tianli gold', which is a high-grade heptyl metal xìng material. Just like that, a small bit of heavenly gold the size of a ring is enough to integrate into other materials to forge a powerful heptane metal xìng magic weapon.
And the red sè crystal is a high-grade 'red fire spirit crystal' that can automatically absorb the free fire xìng aura between heaven and earth. This thing can be used as a spirit stone to assist in cultivation, and it can also be consumed once xìng to forge a high-grade magic weapon.
Although this fat man looks a little shabby, his whole body is full of treasures!
With a courteous smile, Beg jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the fat man, and bowed to him.
"Dare to ask this adult's surname?"
Don't beg to ask is very elegant and polite, just like the demeanor of a wealthy son like Lu Chengfeng.
The big fat man gasped a few times, squeezed out a smile and smiled at Lu Chengfeng: "Lu Dianjun, the lower official is here to guard the city, Yi Yan!"
Swallowing a mouthful of spit, Yi Yan explained with a smile: "Yi is Zhou Yi's Yi; Xiaguan was born in the Moyang Yi family, and the Liyang Lu family, which is the best family for generations!"
Lu Chengfeng smiled, he jumped out of the car, and officially greeted the big fat man.
Don't beg to look at the white and chubby Yi Yan with a smile, and his heart is indescribably happy.
This bejeweled big fat man is full of treasures!
Comrades, vote hard!
