After having lunch, Shi Jinrou and Ding Zhong took a short rest and set off again, riding a horse in the direction guided by the waiter.

Not long after walking, I saw a city gate, and there were indeed people entering and leaving. Shi Jinrou and Ding Zhong dismounted and walked towards the city gate.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, soldiers stopped the two of them and went forward to check.

After Ding Zhong responded for a few words, he suddenly saw several soldiers surrounding him and actually asked to search his body.

Ding Zhong was not willing to agree, it didn't matter if he searched, but Shi Jinrou could never search. Not to mention searching, she couldn't even touch it.

So Ding Zhong scolded: "You must not be rude! My son is the son of Shi, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department. You can't help but do whatever you want!"

After hearing this, the soldiers laughed, and one of them said, "You can still say it out loud. Even the officials with a bigger sesame seed dare to push us out. Is the world now changed?"

Shi Jinrou's face turned cold and she said coldly: "Where is Ran Yicheng? Let him come out to see me!"

The soldiers immediately stopped laughing and looked at each other. Fortunately, the man who spoke just now was quite responsive and said, "Can you scream the name of General Ran? We are also on orders. If the young master is not guilty, let me

What's the point of searching? I offended you!" After saying that, he wanted to go forward and stretch out his hand.

Shi Jinrou was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but shouted sternly: "You dare! Open your dog's eyes and see, this green-maned horse is the mount you General Ran gave to you."

The man stopped and looked at the Green Maned Horse in confusion.

Just at this moment, a person with a leader who looked like a good person came over and asked, "What happened?"

The soldier immediately reported, "You report to General, this person claims to be General Ran's friend and will not be allowed to be searched."

The leader said "Oh", looked at Shi Jinrou in confusion, clasped his fists and said:

"Dare you ask the young master Gao's name?"

Shi Jinrou's face was calm and she replied lukewarmly: "This young master's surname is Shi, and he is from Yi'an!"

The leader was slightly surprised and continued to ask, "What is the relationship between the young master and Lord Shi of the Ministry of Personnel?"

"Master Shi is my son Lingzun!" Ding Zhong replied.

"I didn't ask you, please stop talking!" A sergeant shouted to Ding Zhong.

The man who looked like a leader glanced at the spoken soldier in dissatisfaction, but did not scold him, but clasped his fists to Ding Zhong and said, "What do you call this old man?"

Ding Zhong also replied lukewarmly: "I am the next surname Ding, and my son is the eldest son of my family."

The leader immediately smiled and said, "That's it! Please forgive me for Mr. Shi and Mr. Ding. The so-called "no one knows" is not a mistake. The general was negligent and did not inform them of General Ran's orders. Please follow me!

”

Shi Jinrou and Ding Zhong looked at each other and followed the leader toward the city gate.

When he entered the city gate, the leader said to the two again: "Please ask Mr. Shi and Mr. Ding to rest in the garrison room, and they will immediately send someone to report to General Ran."

Shi Jinrou said, "No need! Let him go directly to Shi Mansion to find me."

The leader still smiled and said, "Please don't make things difficult for the last general. General Ran made a command, and the last general also acted according to his orders! If Mr. Shi left rashly, the last general would not be protected!" Then, before Shi Jinrou asked for it, he proposed it.

After objection, he ordered a soldier beside him: "Ride a fast horse and report to General Ran, and say that Mr. Shi from Yi'an has arrived!"

The soldier immediately took the order and left.

Shi Jinrou had no choice but to follow the leader to a row of barracks next to the city gate and walk into a barracks to rest. As soon as she sat down, a soldier served hot tea.

The leader said, "Please be calm and don't be impatient. Let me rest here for a while! I will not disturb you if I have military affairs at the end."

Ding Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Please take care of yourself!"

The leader nodded and smiled, then waved his hand and signaled the soldiers in the house to leave the house with him.

After everyone went out, Shi Jinrou and Ding Zhong looked at each other and smiled, Shi Jinru said:

"I wanted to go into the city without hiding it, but now I can only do this."

Ding Zhong said: "It doesn't matter whether it is hidden or not. I believe General Ran has known our whereabouts long ago. General Ran seems to be inadvertent, but his subordinates think that his every move seems to have a deep meaning."

Shi Jinrou looked out the window and said, "I won't talk about him anymore." Then she said to herself:

"I don't know how my father is now? What are he busy with?"

..............

The two of them didn't wait long, and only heard someone outside the door ask: "Where is Mr. Shi?"

When Shi Jinrou heard this, although her voice sounded familiar, it was not Ran Yicheng's voice, but was at ease.

As soon as the door opened, the gatekeeper led Anxin into the door.

When An Xin saw Shi Jinrou and Ding Zhong, she was extremely happy and immediately stepped forward and bowed to salute, saying enthusiastically: "An Xin has seen Mr. Shi! Have met Senior Ding!"

Shi Jinrou said sweetly: "General An doesn't have to be too polite. What about General Ran?"

Although Shi Jinrou wanted to sneak into the city without telling Ran Yicheng and give Ran Yicheng a surprise, in fact, she was more anxious to see Ran Yicheng than anyone else.

Anxin replied: "General Ran is plagued by military affairs and cannot come to welcome Mr. Shi in person. He will be ordered by the last general to escort Mr. Shi and Senior Ding back home!"

Shi Jinrou couldn't help but say "Oh", and her disappointment was fully revealed.

An Xin turned around and asked the gatekeeper: "Did anyone offend Mr. Shi?"

The leader looked at Shi Jinrou and immediately bowed to Anxin and replied:

"After learning about Mr. Shi's identity, how dare the last general be negligent? If there is any inappropriateness, I hope Mr. Shi and Mr. Ding will be in a position of mercy, and I hope the general will forgive me!"

Ding Zhong smiled and said, "This general treats us very well and has no neglect!"

An Xin said coldly: "General Ran's military order has been issued. If they dare to disobey, they will be punished!" After that, An Xin took out another ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to the gatekeeper, saying, "This is General Ran."

I would like to give you my best wishes to Mr. Shi for your hospitality. When I don’t have the time to pay, I will take my brothers to the restaurant for a big meal.”

The leader waved his hand and said, "It is the last general to do his duty, how dare he take credit!"

"Hold it!" An Xin shouted.

The leader had no choice but to take the silver and bowed and said, "Thank you General Ran and General An for kind reward!"
