Turning away from Shui Qin, Tang Chuyao casually glanced at the crowd approaching the city gate. Her eyes suddenly lit up. The person who had kept her awake all night finally appeared.
He is still wearing the same Tsing Yi, but it looks like it is new because it gives people a very neat feeling.
Tang Ao was indeed coming towards the north gate. Surrounding him were people leading horses in twos and threes. Needless to say, they were all Han generals. They did not come together just to avoid attracting attention.
As a large city, Pucheng is also close to a border city. There are still some cavalrymen here, and they are mixed in. Unless you look carefully, you can't see what the problem is.
But this time, as soon as Tang Ao, Zuo Zhuang and others appeared, they became the focus of everyone's attention. Those who paid attention to them were Tang Chuyao, who had been waiting, and Ru Yong's men, who wanted them dead.
The target appeared, and someone immediately went back to report the news. However, the other two people stayed behind, leaned towards the dozen or so soldiers guarding the city gate, and whispered something in a low voice.
Qiweiju is one of the properties of Commander-in-Chief Lu Zhengde. Naturally, the soldiers below know this and regard their matters as the Commander-in-Chief’s business. Now that they have spoken and want to intercept a few people, where can they go?
Is there any reason not to obey?
More than a dozen soldiers, led by a chief, stopped at the city gate. At first, they allowed the others to pass through the city as they pleased, but their eyes were fixed on Zuo Zhuang.
It is true that Zuo Zhuang was too tall. At that time, he was taller than an ordinary person. It would be very difficult for a person like this to hide.
Zuo Zhuang was recognized at a glance, and then many people blocked the way forward. Others had not noticed this, but Tang Ao saw it.
With the master's cultivation level, as long as he thinks about it, everything happening around him will be magnified several times in his eyes. But he discovered it, but he didn't think of it. It was just some soldiers. See
Their walking and standing postures are all loose. Such an army is not worthy of being called an opponent at all.
Tang Ao didn't pay attention, nor did he remind him. He still walked leisurely and was defended by everyone.
On the tea stall, Tang Chuyao also stood up and said, "Shui Qin, pay the bill and leave."
"Oh." Shui Qin agreed and took out the ten coins from his arms. At the same time, he didn't forget to drink all the tea in the tea bowl. He looked very skillful. Then he smacked his tongue.
He opened his mouth and followed Tang Chuyao's gaze and said, "Miss, is that the man in green next to the white horse? I can't see his face clearly, but he seems to have a decent walking posture. He must be very good-looking."
Tang Chuyao had long been accustomed to Shui Qin's nerves and ignored her. Then she walked to the tea stall and led a war horse with an ordinary texture. This was when she passed by a cluster of mountains.
It was stolen from bandits blocking the road.
The two people and two horses followed Tang Ao. In front of them, under the city gate, the place was already blocked. A dozen soldiers finally stopped Zuo Zhuang and others.
.
The movement of more than a dozen soldiers had already caused chaos at the city gate. Everyone saw this, and Zuo Zhuang naturally saw it too. Especially when the distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps, he could see those soldiers.
All of them had evil smiles on their faces.
These soldiers usually have nothing else to do, especially when the Xiongnu army passed by here last year, they were as honest as the third grandson, but they still have a way to deal with the people, that is, to use force to suppress people and bully them.
weak.
After all, they are also government soldiers and members of the government, so they have an innate sense of superiority. They always think that the people will not fight with the government. Ordinary people are afraid of them and dare not do anything to them. Even if they are in the Jianghu
The same goes for the ranger in .
Unless they are the most vicious ones, they are generally afraid of the government. After all, they are just one person and they have to face a group. Generally, if they endure some hardship, they will just swallow it in their stomachs.
It was with this mentality that when they saw Zuo Zhuang and the others, they were not afraid at all. On the contrary, they had the idea of a cat playing with a mouse.
But what these soldiers don't know is that Zuo Zhuang and the others are not civilians but officials, and they are not comparable to ordinary officials. They are the guards around the Emperor of Dahua, famous Han generals. With this fact
People, even those magistrates and division and brigade commanders, were very respectful and did not dare to offend easily. However, there were only a few soldiers in front of him. It was simply impossible for him to feel afraid.
"Looking for trouble?" After being targeted, Zuo Zhuang not only showed no fear at all, but on the contrary, his face was full of excitement. He loved fighting. However, he instinctively glanced at the place where Tang Ao was.
Tang Ao was still walking like a normal person, without even looking this way. This made Zuo Qiang feel reassured. This meaning was already very obvious. His Majesty did not care about these matters and just let him handle it by himself, that is,
That's right, hehe, he just came to stretch his hands and feet.
In fact, not only Zuo Zhuang, but also the four brothers who followed him were the same ones. They happened to be the ones who smashed Qiweiju yesterday, and now that people are coming to visit them, how could they have any reason to give in?
"Brothers, we are leaving the city soon. When you do it, be careful not to get entangled by them and delay His Majesty's journey." Zuo Zhuang's lips moved lightly, conveying the news to the comrades around him.
After hearing this, the four people all nodded, and then continued to lead their horses forward one by one, without taking the battle in front of them seriously at all.
More than a dozen government soldiers and two Ru Yong's subordinates were looking at Zuo Zhuang and others who were getting closer and closer to them, waiting for them to escape or simply kneel down and beg for mercy. But the scene in their imagination did not happen.
happened, the other party walked over as if nothing happened, as if they were not the ones who did something in Qiwei Center yesterday, and the matter had nothing to do with them.
"What? Don't you know what crime you have committed? Kneel down and surrender immediately, and you will suffer less, otherwise..." Seeing Zuo Zhuang and the other five people walking over without any sense of making a mistake, one of them, Ru
Yong's men jumped out, shouted and immediately hid behind a soldier.
Yesterday, the clerk at Qiweiju was beaten very badly. He later went to see one and saw clearly that these people were very cruel, and he was a little scared in his bones.
The words were shouted out, but looking at Zuo Zhuang and the others, it was as if they didn't hear them and continued to walk forward, constantly narrowing the distance between the two parties.
After only twenty steps, they arrived in the blink of an eye. When Zuo Zhuang and others arrived in front of the soldiers blocking the road without any intention of stopping, one of the soldiers finally became unhappy and asked, "You guys, what do you want?"
What are you going to do? Don’t you know the principle of kneeling before an official?"
"Officials? Hahaha, are you considered officials? You are just a bunch of mad dogs released by others." Zuo Zhuang burst out laughing after hearing this, his words were full of pride, and he did not take the people in front of him seriously at all.
"This is the true heroic spirit." Tang Chuyao, who was following behind, looked at this scene and her eyes lit up.
She has been unable to walk since she was a child when she heard stories about heroes. Now that she can finally see them in reality, how can she not be excited?
"Well, he's so imposing and manly." Shuiqin on the side also finished the attack in time. After hearing what the lady said about Zuo Zhuang and the others yesterday, he was still a little disapproving, but now he believes it.
When Zuo Zhuang's heroic words came to the ears of these dozen or so soldiers, it was completely different. Thinking that they guarded the city gate every day, there was no danger, and they had a lot of money and water, and they were very good.
They are respected, or at least everyone is afraid of them.
But now, someone is openly challenging their authority and comparing them to mad dogs. How can they endure this?
If you really endure it like this, how can you keep the city gate in the future? Wouldn't anyone be able to provoke them?
No, this evil trend must be suppressed, otherwise, it will really be impossible to survive in the future. Thinking like this, more than a dozen soldiers looked at each other first, and then, they seemed to have a
As if Qi Xin made a decision, they all pulled out their sabers, shouted and rushed towards Zuo Zhuang and the other five.
Faced with such rangers who do not take them seriously and do not give them face, what the soldiers have to do is to deal with them, and even kill them when necessary. Who said they are soldiers? The soldiers are soldiers too.
, you don’t have to take any responsibility if you kill someone.
More than a dozen soldiers from the government rushed over. They believed that no matter in terms of numbers or status, they were far superior to each other. Based on this, there was absolutely no reason to fail. Next, they waited for them to kill these rangers.
Catch them, take care of them, and drain them of all their wealth.
The soldiers finally took action. Zuo Zhuang and the others had been waiting for this moment. As the imperial guards who had experienced countless lives and deaths on the battlefield and killed many people, these people in front of them were nothing at all.
It wasn't even a battle, they didn't even think about taking out their weapons. Two of the five people didn't even have the intention to take action, but just watched the five war horses.
There were only about ten people in the opponent group. It was enough for Zuo Zhuang and the three of them to take action. They all seemed to be bullying people.
This is where the confidence of the guards lies. They have followed Tang Ao in many battles in the north and south, so few people can put them in their eyes.
"Lead Zuo, please be patient for a while and give us more opportunities to take action." A strong man named Dong Gui who was following Zuo Zhuang said. Obviously he was afraid that Zuo Zhuang would round up all the enemies. No.
