The two men hurriedly ran to the steps of the city wall. As Captain Meng ran, he shouted at a few city guards who were dozing against the door bolts inside the city gate, "Open the door! Open the city gate quickly, there is no time to waste."

The few soldiers who were sleeping soundly were all new recruits who were assigned after the beginning of autumn last year. Although they had not been here for a long time, they still remembered the rules for opening the main gate of Yuan City.

One of the young soldiers, who looked young, yawned and stretched, and asked the two people running down the stairs, "Captain, Brother Zhang, what happened? It's not even a day to make you two so nervous."

Liang, open the door now?"

Captain Meng, who is very strict with the training of soldiers, and Zhang Ergou, a veteran among the city's defenders who can definitely be regarded as seniors. These two people usually have a serious look. This is the first time I have seen them show such expressions.

Such a confused look.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and open the door." Captain Meng said as he rushed into the winch room. He held the handle of the winch with both hands and turned it hard. He turned twice and shouted outside the room, "What are you doing? Come in quickly."

help"

Only then did several soldiers realize that something had really happened, and they hurriedly ran over to help Captain Meng turn the winch. With the combined efforts of several people, the thick iron chain on the winch made a "squeaking" friction sound, and the other end of the chain

The linked door bolt was slowly lifted, and after the door bolt was fixed, the city gate was pushed open.

The heavy city gate opened in front of me, and the door scratched the stone slabs on the ground. The part of the doorway that was not exposed to the rain was kicked up with a burst of smoke and dust.

Captain Meng ordered a group of soldiers to line up on both sides of the door. He walked towards the direction of the motorcade, stopped in front of the horse of the man holding the lantern, bowed and said, "It was really because of the rain and darkness just now that I didn't see Miss Six clearly."

The convoy, I have offended you so much, I hope you will forgive me.”

The leader nodded, waved to the rear, and shook the reins in the horse's hands. The horse felt the slap of the reins and walked towards the city gate. The man on the horse did not say a word the whole time.

It was the first time for several recruits to see this scene. Although they were full of curiosity, they did not dare to ask the captain at the moment. They could only lower their heads and talk to each other in low voices while saluting.

"Hey, did you see that man is riding a horse? It's really impressive. I wish I could have my own horse sometime."

"Just you? A janitor has no chance in his life."

"Tsk tsk, we are from a wealthy family after all, and this carriage is really luxurious."

"I heard Captain Meng talk about the Sixth Miss of Sikong Mansion? I wonder how this Sixth Miss compares to the Fourth Miss who came back a few days ago?"

While we were chatting, someone couldn't bear their curiosity and secretly looked up. It doesn't matter if he doesn't...

In front of me, a golden carriage passed by slowly. The whole body of the carriage was very dazzling. The gauze curtains were flying around the windows. A bright white hand was caressing the window, and the vermilion nails stung the eyes in the early morning.

.

Sikong Yu in the carriage wanted to open the curtain to get some air, but when he saw the dumbfounded expressions of the recruits in the row below, he put down the curtain and said, "Li'er"

"Yes." The maid who was called Li'er said knowingly and stopped the carriage. She got out of the car and walked to Captain Meng who was bowing at the side. She handed over a brocade bag and said, "Thank you for your hard work, military masters. This is a little thought from my young lady.

Invite the military men to get off their posts and have a drink to warm themselves up."

Captain Meng said, "Sorry for bothering you, miss. We don't dare to ask for these. It's only natural to open the door for the miss. Why do we get rewarded for doing so?"

"Just take it if it's given to you. Don't you want to refuse the lady's kindness?"

Captain Meng did not dare to say anything. He took the brocade bag and bowed to the carriage again to thank him. However, another object was stretched out in front of him. He looked closely and saw if it was his cigarette bag that fell off the city wall?
