Chapter 100 The Beggar Offers Books
Lu Chen killed the envoy Ding Rui with his sword and used practical actions to show his determination to be incompatible with Ding Rui!
For a time, the entire Pingyang County entered the atmosphere on the eve of the war.
The next day, the southern gate of Pingzhou.
In Pingyang County, in order to prevent fine intrusions, under Lu Chen's order, the city gates were guarded tightly and soldiers were everywhere. Every pedestrian entering the city must undergo strict inspection before entering Pingzhou.
It was evening, and pedestrians entering the city were lined up to be inspected by the guards.
Soon, it was a man in ragged clothes and dirty body.
His face and body were stains everywhere, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and his body was sour and smelly. No need to ask, just looking at this look, he was a complete beggar.
The city gate guard frowned in disgust, pinched his nose and waved his head, "Go and go! Where did you come from the stinky beggar? Is Pingzhou City also a place you can enter? Get out of here quickly!"
Generally speaking, a beggar who is scolded by the guards should be afraid. But not only did this person not be afraid, he asked with a smile:
"I dare to ask this military master why beggars cannot enter Pingzhou City? It is important to know that I am also a citizen of Fengguo."
Oh! I didn't expect that a dirty beggar would even tell me the truth! When the guard heard this, he suddenly felt excited and said:
"Hey? I said you are such a stinky beggar! You are quite good at speaking! OK! Jun Ye, I will tell you that it is not that my Pingzhou City does not allow beggars to enter, but now the population in the city has increased dramatically. In order to prevent me from entering, my lord has thrown strict orders. Those who are unidentified are not allowed to enter the city! Now you understand, don't get out of here! Don't hinder Jun Ye's work here!"
"In other words, if I can prove my identity, I can enter the city, right?" the beggar asked again.
Before the guard could answer the conversation, the beggar finished speaking and immediately took out a sealed silk book from his arms, handed it to the guard in front of him, and said:
"If you can hand this letter to General Lu Chen, Zhenbei, your life will definitely change, and wealth will come from heaven."
“What??”
"Haha, don't you believe what I said?"
"nonsense!"
"Are you sure you don't believe it?"
"The fool believes it!"
"If you don't believe it, it's like you missed an opportunity in your life, and it's too late to regret it."
"Ha ha--"
"Is it ridiculous? Everyone in the world is like this. They often think that they are very smart, just like me now, just like you now."
"I'll listen to you fart..."
"Okay, please return the things to me." The beggar reached out and said.
But at this time, the guard suddenly hesitated.
A moment later, he stuffed the silk book into his arms by a devil's fate and suddenly said to the beggar:
"You, don't run away! Wait here! I'll see if I can send the letter for you, but I can't guarantee that my lord is busy with official duties, and it's not something that a little man like me can see at will..."
The beggar nodded with a smile and watched the guard leave. After he came to a secluded place alone, he pulled a dead grass on the side of the road and held it in his mouth. Then he wrapped his hands around his chest, leaned against an old tree, looked up at the city wall of Pingzhou, and said to himself:
"At this time, there will be a hero who will come out. I wonder if it is in this Pingyang County..."
"Hey, strange, why did I suddenly believe the nonsense of a beggar?" In front of the county capital, the guard at the south gate muttered, holding his helmet and scratching his hair.
Seeing a soldier wandering in front of the mansion, a county guard stepped forward and asked, "Brother, which battalion are you from? Is there something wrong here?"
"Ah?" Hearing the voice, the city gate guard came to his senses and quickly said, "Oh, this big brother, this is like this..."
So he told the county guards what had happened before. After he finished speaking, the guards were both angry and funny. What important things could a beggar have to hand over to his lord? It’s really a pity that this guy could come over from the south gate so far!
He smiled and shook his head, patted the shoulder of the city gate guard, and said, "Brother, I think you have been teased. Besides, the lord has been in the study all day long. How can you wait for this time? You should hurry back to the south gate, otherwise your superiors will know you will be punished for leaving your post without permission."
"This..." After hearing what he said, the guard felt that he might have been tricked, but his luck was so good! Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Chen stepped out of the county government.
Oops! Seeing this, the guard was overjoyed and quickly knelt on one knee, bowed and said, "See the lord!"
"No need to be polite." Lu Chen waved his hand to signal him to get up, and was about to turn over the horse, but the guard took out the beggar's letter from his arms, raised his hands slightly forward, and said:
"You are the lord, and my subordinates are on duty at the South Gate today. I met a beggar who wanted to submit this letter to my lord, and said... and said that if I could submit this letter to my lord, my subordinates would have wealth and honor from heaven..."
"Oh? A beggar?" Lu Chen was surprised when he heard this, and at the same time stopped his horse's movement and landed again, saying, "Look at me."
"No!" The guard responded, cleverly took apart the seal bag of the silk book, then spread it out and shook it a few times. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he carefully presented it to Lu Chen.
After Lu Chen took it, he looked at it curiously. After he finished reading it, he immediately asked the guard: "Where is this person now?"
"Ah..." The guard saw Lu Chen's anxious expression and thought there was something wrong with the content of the letter. He grinned secretly and swallowed his saliva and returned: "It should be still at the south...the south gate..."
"Hurry! Take me to see him!" Lu Chen put away the silk book and said.
"This, lord, this person is just a beggar. If the lord wants to see him, then he will call him here. Why don't the lord go there in person?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Follow me to the south gate!"
Oh! It seems that this letter is indeed not simple! Seeing this, the guard immediately saw some tricks and did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly led Lu Chen to the south gate.
By the time Lu Chen arrived, it was almost dark, and there were not many pedestrians at the city gate. He saw a beggar not far away, lying against the wall with his dry grass in his mouth.
At the same time, the guard beside him pointed at the beggar and hurriedly said, "Lord, that's that person."
"Yeah." Lu Chen responded lightly, then walked to the beggar, bowed his hand gently and said:
"Have good writing and good articles, Lu Chen was amazed. I wonder if I could enjoy the words in the mansion."
