"You are so bold! Under the eyes of the governor, you dare to touch even the gate guards of Wuliang City. Don't you want to live?"
Ren Ning calmly walked over on horseback.
Two fortress soldiers were pushing a guard-looking soldier to the ground.
"Xiaowu, what's going on?" he asked one of them.
When the guards on the ground saw Ren Ning's appearance, they knew someone was in charge.
He suddenly understood.
The steward in front of him is a bit young, so no wonder his men dared to detain the city gate guard.
"What's your name? What happened to your caravan?"
"We are the guards at the west gate of Wuliang City. We are checking the road signs and contraband. Even the caravan guards dare to detain us. Do you not want to cross the city anymore?"
Ren Ning ignored it and continued to look at his subordinates.
"Commander, in the name of checking the road and violating the prohibition, they stole things and even touched the female family members."
Ren Ning was stunned and looked up at the car next to him.
Above was a mother and daughter, trembling with anger. The carriage behind them was in chaos.
"Commander, it's not just that they turned over the luggage in the carriage, they also wanted... our bodies."
"Xiao Niangpi, so what if I touch you? This is your blessing."
"What's the good of following a caravan all the way through the wind and rain? You and your daughter look good. Why don't you stay and be my concubines..."
ah!
While they were talking here, the carriage in front screamed again.
"What are you going to do? It's indecent." A female family member's voice sounded in panic.
drive!
Zhui Feng seemed to sense his master's anger and rushed over directly.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the carriage. Ren Ning stretched out his hand and pulled out the city guard with a smirk on his face. He swung the saber that had not seen blood for a long time in his hand.
Before the silver smile on the guard's face dissipated, his throat had been wiped open with a sharp saber, and blood spurted brightly.
flutter.
Ren Ning coldly threw the man to the ground.
Zhui Feng stepped forward again and stepped on it twice before giving up.
"Fortress officers and men obey orders," he shouted violently, "Whoever dares to disturb the female family members will be shot to death!"
"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly in the long motorcade.
Ahhh!
There were several screams and several more bodies appeared on the roadside.
"You...who are you?" Seeing his accomplices spurting blood and being thrown out of the car one after another, the guard who was first detained on the ground shivered all over, "What kind of fortress, what kind of soldiers?"
Ren Ning's temper was not very good these days. When he heard this, he actually smiled.
He walked back and looked up at the shocked mother and daughter in the carriage, "Which hand did he extend?"
The mother and daughter hesitated for a moment, then said in unison: "Stretch both of them."
"Very good." Ren Ning's face became even colder, "If you dare to reach out to us, I will chop off his hand."
"Yes!" The two soldiers holding the guards on the ground drew out their sabers without hesitation and slashed down.
Before the guards on the ground had time to beg for mercy, their arms flew out with blood spurting out.
Ren Ning ignored him.
"Ma Dali!"
"Arrived!" Ma Dali responded loudly.
"You lead twenty-five people to guard our convoy. Anyone who dares to come near will be killed by me. The others follow me!"
"yes!"
At the front of the motorcade, Gu Fugui was a little worried.
He had already paid twice the city entry tax, but the four soldiers guarding the city in front of him still had no intention of letting them enter the city.
"Don't worry, Gu Butler. We will not hinder the passage of serious caravans. It's just that we haven't thoroughly inspected your caravan yet, so we are not allowed to enter the city for the time being."
"My generals," Gu Fugui said with a flattering smile: "Our Gu family caravan in Pinghai County is definitely a serious and law-abiding caravan. We pass through your city once or twice every year, and we have never carried any illegal items. I don't believe it.
Check the records at the city gate."
"And our master is also familiar with your County Sheriff Fan. Every time we pass by, we will prepare a small profit for the County Sheriff and all the adults."
As he spoke, he stuffed a few more silver coins into the hands of the guards in front of him.
"Generals, it's getting late. It's not a big deal if the convoy is blocked at the city gate. The people are waiting to come in and out. You see..."
Ah!
Suddenly, several faint screams could be heard from the convoy behind.
Gu Fugui's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked back.
It's just that Mist County has always been famous for its thick fog. The second half of the long motorcade was already shrouded in thick fog, and it was impossible to see what was going on under the city gate.
Bang bang bang!
Several embarrassed guards suddenly emerged from the thick fog.
They ran and shouted, "The caravan has killed people. Close the city gate quickly."
"This is not a caravan but a horse thief. Hurry and close the city gate and notify the guard."
Ha ha.
The six people below the city didn't believe a word of it, "What kind of door should you close? This is the Gu family's caravan, they are not horse thieves."
Not only were they not surprised, they were overjoyed and almost cheered.
The old man from the Gu family in front of them had all the good things to say, and he had already paid twice the city tax, and it would look bad to everyone if it dragged on any longer. They were worrying about how to get some more money, and now they had an excuse.
If someone in the caravan dares to scare the guards, then they will not be able to enter the city gate unless they make compensation.
As for these colleagues who came back, they were not surprised at all.
He must have had dirty hands, so he either took the opportunity to take advantage of other people's wives or took other people's things while checking the road signs.
If you encounter some grumpy caravan masters or guards, and you are angry for a moment, you will scare them.
But this is a great thing.
The more similar they pretend to be, the more compensation they will receive for staying away. The more generous everyone will get.
The six people who escaped hurriedly said: "What we said is true. They really killed Xiao Liu, Xiao Liang and Lao Ma. Close the city gate quickly."
"I know, I know." The gatekeeper continued to wink and pick his nose.
Those who escaped were crying: "It's true. Everything we said is true."
"I know it's true." The guard guarding the door snorted and lowered his voice.
"Don't be too exaggerated. It's the same no matter how you pretend. I can only give you one-third of the share at most. The guard general also wants a share."
Those who escaped were about to cry, "We are not pretending. Hurry and close the city gate. They have really killed Lao Liu and the others."
The guard guarding the door didn't believe it, but Gu Fugui was trembling with fright.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of neat horse hooves sounded.
Ren Ning and his party appeared at the city gate with a sullen face.
He pointed to the eight guards gathered under the city gate and said, "Take down eight of them for me!"
"Yes!" The soldiers behind them pounced on them like wolves and tigers, and caught all eight of them at once, and brought them back.
Wow.
The people who were waiting to enter and exit the city gate fled away and watched from a distance.
The four guards guarding the gate were stunned for a long time before they finally came to their senses and shouted bluffingly.
"What are you doing? Why don't you let us go? Are you too impatient to live if you dare to attack the city guards?"
Ren Ning ignored them and looked at the four people who had escaped.
"As a Yunzhui soldier, he has no military discipline, steals the property of the fortress, insults the female relatives of the fortress, and insults the heroic spirits who guard the fortress. The crime is unforgivable."
"kill!"
Wow.
The light of the knife passed by.
Four heads fell to the ground instantly.
Buzz!
The crowd of people watching around expanded again.
"You really killed people?" The four soldiers guarding the gate were in disbelief for a moment. They were so frightened that their companions who were talking just now were separated from each other in the blink of an eye.
Squeak!
The small city gate was quickly closed.
A dozen or so defenders appeared on the short city wall. They drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at Ren Ning and his party below the city.
