Behind the green hills, a black city wall suddenly appeared on the plain.

Strong west wind.

A horse neighed, startling the crowds of people lined up quietly in front of the black city wall, waiting to enter the city.

On horseback, Shen Xiaojia, dressed in a red shirt, tightened the reins, stared intently at the tall black city wall in front of him, and exclaimed, "The road through Xiongguan is really like iron!"

Chu Yunqiao, who was following closely, also reined in his horse and stopped, and said softly, "Baima Pass is an important pass near Daqing to the Tang Dynasty. It is naturally more majestic. The black on the city wall is poured with the blood of soldiers from both armies."

Just as Shen Xiaojia was staring at the city wall in amazement, wondering how many kilograms of blood would be needed to cover the entire wall, a rough voice boomed next to the two of them, "What are you pretending to be! I'm talking about you, the one in the red shirt! What's the matter?

If you don’t let me, get out of here and go to the back of the queue!”

Shen Xiaojia was startled, and looked around. He saw a soldier wearing black iron armor with a scar on his face, leaning on a long gun, standing only three steps away from him and Chu Yunqiao, looking askance.

Xiang himself. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, Shen Xiaojia pointed to his nose, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Master Jun, are you talking about me?"

"Be more confident and remove the word "?"," Soldier Scar picked his nose and said, "Look at who else is as cool as you here. A grown man wearing red...it's not like he's getting married!"

Shen Xiaojia's face turned red. He was about to argue with the scarred soldier, but he caught a glimpse of the hundreds of arrows on the city gate aimed at his strong bow. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was surging in his heart.

He turned over and dismounted, glanced at the long queue, and said with a smile on his face, "It's so long, how long will the queue last... Military Master," he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and quietly handed it to Soldier Scar.

, "We are in a hurry to enter the city, can you be accommodating and take a fast lane..."

"Oh, I'm in a hurry to enter the city and want to take the express lane..." Soldier Scar took the silver with a smile, quickly put it into his arms, and whispered, "Are you a member of the royal family?"

Shen Xiaojia scratched his head and wanted to answer, "I am the son of Damin Shenzong", but he knew with his toes that as soon as he said this, he would be shot into a hedgehog by the archers on the city wall, so he could only smile shyly.

He replied, "No!"

"Then are you the young master of the prince, general, and prime minister's family?"

"no……"

"Then you are an official of the current government and have an appointment?"

"No."

"Then... just roll to the back and wait in line!" Soldier Scar's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "You don't want to take the express lane even though you have nothing to do, you are so beautiful! Bah!"

"You...have gone too far!" Shen Xiaojia said through gritted teeth with red eyes, "You took my money and you still have this attitude!"

"What kind of money?" Soldier Scar pointed his spear at Shen Xiaojia's face and said, "Don't pretend to be crazy here. I'll poke a few holes in your body and give you a chill!"

When Chu Yunqiao saw this, he hurried over and apologized to the scarred soldier with a sweet smile. He picked up Shen Xiaojia and walked quickly to the back of the queue.

The soldier watched Shen Xiaojia and Chu Yunqiao lead their horses away, and spat on the ground, "A big man is not as sensible as a girl, he is a loser..." He touched the silver in his arms and turned around happily.

Walking towards the city gate, "I have paid for tonight's drinks. I hope to meet a few more fools like this in the future..."

At this moment, a gust of breeze blew by, raising waves of smoke and dust.

As soon as the soldier with the gun reached the city gate, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. He looked sideways at the other soldier with the sword who was blinded by the smoke and asked in surprise, "What happened just now?

"

The saber soldier next to him rubbed his eyes and said, "It seems to be the wind..."

The gunman let out a soft ooh, touched the place where the silver was previously placed, widened his eyes and said, "Huh? Damn it, where is my silver..."

At the back of the queue, Shen Xiaojia craned his neck to look at Mo Chunfeng, who suddenly appeared in the city gate, throwing away money with a sneer on his face. When he lowered his head, he saw a snail walking slowly alongside him. He pouted and said,

"Why do men want to do things so fast... The slower they are, the more capable they appear! Big shots always appear at the end of the show!"

Chu Yunqiao, who was following Shen Xiaojia, suddenly turned red on his cheeks, lowered his head, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Actually, you are also very fast..."

After a stick of incense, Shen Xiaojia and Chu Yunqiao finally arrived at the city gate. However, the snail walking side by side with Shen Xiaojia had already entered the city first and was missing.

Coincidentally, it was still the gun-wielding soldier from before who checked the two people's customs clearance documents.

The soldier took the document handed over by Shen Xiaojia, glanced at it roughly, and found that the recommender's seal on the document was actually the official seal of Mu Zhenghao, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and quickly put away the arrogance on his face.

Qing people value literature and martial arts, and the status of literati is equal to that of warriors, or even slightly higher than that of warriors. The reason is very simple. Now the two people below one person are both literati, holding the most powerful authority in the world, and can even command the military generals in the court to control them.

Horse falls into stirrup.

In particular, the Zuo Prime Minister Wei Changgeng, who was born as a poor scholar, has more say in the military than Zhu Huairen, the general of Zhenbei. The reason is also very simple. Wei Changgen has made great military exploits at the border, and he has vividly demonstrated what he has done.

It's called strategizing and winning from a thousand miles away.

But when the soldier looked at the swords on Shen Xiaojia's back, he couldn't help but frown. The swords had a unique style, just like a crude weapon from the world.

"These two swords are just for show, they can't be killed..." Shen Xiaojia thought that he was not allowed to bring weapons into the city, so he quickly explained, "And behind these swords are hidden stories about my ancestors. My father once told me..."

"Okay, what the hell are you talking about?" the soldier rolled his eyes, handed the document back to Shen Xiaojia, and pointed to the two yellow horses led by Shen Xiaojia and Chu Yunqiao expressionlessly, "This is not Kyoto.

, the swords can be brought into the city...the horses stay!"

Shen Xiaojia looked confused and said, "Isn't this Baima Pass? Why are horses not allowed to enter the city?"

"Does it mean that horses are allowed to enter the city if their names have the word "horse" in them?" The soldier pursed his lips and said, "And see for yourself, are you leading a white horse?"

"Only white horses can enter?"

"At least yellow horses and black horses cannot enter.

"Why?"

"According to the above regulations, horses cannot enter the city."

"Since the rule is that horses are not allowed in, why did a guy lead a white horse in just now? Isn't a white horse a horse?"

"Of course not. A horse can have many colors, but a white horse is just white. The two cannot be equated, so you can say that a white horse is not a horse!"

Shen Xiaojia raised his chin, bared his teeth, and wanted to retort angrily, but suddenly he heard an exclamation from behind him. Even Chu Yunqiao, who was standing next to him, had a look of shock on his face and immediately followed everyone's gazes.

Looking at it, his face suddenly froze, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "In broad daylight, it's kind of interesting..."

Inside the city gate, a clerk wearing a blue robe gracefully walked out of the shaded city gate. He stood outside the door and raised his hand to block the scorching sun in the sky. He opened his mouth with a gentle expression, as if he wanted to
