After walking along the inner wall of Wengcheng on the dark road for a while, we finally came to a huge courtyard.
The courtyard is surrounded by high walls, which are at least three people tall.
I stretched out my hand and patted it, and heard a deep "dong dong" sound, which showed that the wall was very thick.
There are also iron thorns surrounding the high wall.
The iron thorns are densely packed and go around in circles. The iron thorns on the top are hard and sharp, with some small burrs. You can imagine that if someone wants to pass over the wall, once they are torn by these iron thorns, they will really be killed.
A piece of flesh and blood was forcefully pulled from the body.
Looking at this wall, the old team leader behind Lei Xingkong couldn't help but muttered: "What kind of place is this? Even those prisons don't usually have a wall like this."
Lei Xingkong frowned and turned to look at the gate of the courtyard.
That door is an iron door. It is not easy to see such an iron door. In this world where cold weapons are the mainstay, any iron will be used to forge weapons. How can it be used to make doors?
Looking at the dark iron door, Lei Xingkong continued the old captain's words and thought to himself: "Maybe this... is really a prison!"
Chen Zhongxing went to Dibei Post before to summon them to Yanyun Fortress to interrogate their crimes. At this time, it is not impossible to arrange for them to be settled in prison directly.
It's just too much to deceive people by being sent to jail without even asking about the crime.
"Lord Yingzheng, this..."
Xie Jin and Li Dahai thought of this at the same time, their faces suddenly turned gloomy, and they looked at Lei Xingkong together.
Lei Xingkong narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and whispered: "This is a military order, just obey it!"
After Xie Jin and Li Dahai heard this, they stopped talking, but their eyes became colder.
The school official who led the way was familiar with the way. He walked directly to the big iron gate, slapped it hard a few times, and shouted: "Open the door! Open the door..."
"Who is it? It's so noisy that I can't sleep well..."
Inside the iron door, a voice as hoarse as sandpaper called out.
Immediately afterwards, the iron door was opened a crack...
A human head poked out from the crack in the door. The head was disheveled and messy, and smelled of alcohol as the night wind blew.
When the man saw clearly who was knocking on the door, he immediately cursed: "Oh, Mr. Zhong, how dare you come here and disturb me while I'm sleeping? Believe it or not, I'll chop you up alive?"
The school officer named Zhong Laosi pointed at Lei Xingkong and others and said, "If I hadn't been ordered by the military to bring people to your place to settle down, would I be willing to come to this dirty place like yours?"
The man turned to look at Lei Xingkong and others, his eyes were cloudy and yellowish. After looking at them for a few times, he casually asked: "What's the reason?"
Zhong Laosi said: "They say they came from Dibei Post, who knows?" After a slight pause, he urged: "Chen Tuzi, please open the door quickly and let people in. I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I will come back later."
I have to go back and show off my skills."
"Damn it, nothing good is going to happen..."
Chen Tuzi cursed a few more times, but could only open the iron door.
Inside the iron gate, there is a wooden gate, and between the two gates is an open space that can accommodate a hundred people.
To the left is a small room, which looks like the residence of Chen Tuzi.
It was still dark, and when Lei Xingkong and his party entered the iron gate, Chen Tuzi closed the door, and Zhong Laosi immediately turned back from the original road.
As he walked, he murmured to himself: "That young man looks good. Who did he offend? He was sent to the Zuofeng camp as soon as he came. This is really hard to bear..."
Inside the iron gate——
Chen Tuzi locked the iron door again, and while pacing and looking at the people at the post, he asked: "What did you do?"
Lei Xingkong answered straightforwardly: "We have never committed any crime."
"How could you be sent here if you didn't commit any crime? If you don't tell the truth..."….
Chen Tuzi smiled contemptuously, and originally wanted to say something, but when he glanced at the team and saw Agu Lu and the four-eyed giant wolf in the team, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Barbarians? Why are there still barbarians? This...
Is this a four-eyed giant wolf?”
Lei Xingkong didn't want to talk nonsense and said: "He is my personal soldier, and the four-eyed giant wolf is his mount."
"Soldiers?"
Chen Tuzi looked away in surprise, and then looked at Lei Xingkong.
Having been in Yanyun Fortress all year round, I naturally know what the fighting prowess of the barbarians is. Even the most ordinary barbarian soldiers may not be able to kill five or six ordinary tribesmen when they encounter them, let alone the elite Sky Fire Wolf in the barbarian army.
Riding... can make a barbarian wolf rider willing to be a soldier, which can already explain a lot of things.
Chen Tuzi was surprised at first, then his thoughts changed, and he became fierce again. The flesh on his face trembled, and he said loudly: "I don't care who you are, whether you have committed any crime or not. As long as you enter this door, you will be punished."
Act according to my rules, do you understand?"
"Oh, what are your rules?"
Lei Xingkong hadn't spoken yet, but Xie Jin asked first.
Chen Tuzi sniffed and said very bachelorly: "I have always had the final say here. Since you are new here, you naturally have to pay the entrance fee first. The entrance fee doesn't need to be much, just a big buck per person."
A lot of money for each person?
Lei Xingkong raised his eyebrows, somewhat dumbfounded.
One big buck for each person is really not that much. The total sum of all the people in the outpost only has more than twenty big bucks at best... However, since joining the army, Lei Xingkong has given all his salary to his mother. It can be said that he lacks nothing.
What he lacked the most was money. But Chen Tuzi had blackmailed him to the point where he was most embarrassed. How could he give it to him?
"I have no money!"
Lei Xingkong answered honestly.
"you wanna die!"
When Chen Tuzi heard this, his eyes widened suddenly and he stared at Lei Xingkong.
The entry fee he charged was already very low. Normally when someone came over, he would charge at least five grand per person. He just took the initiative to lower the price because he didn't want to cause more trouble for the sake of the barbarian and the four-eyed giant wolf.
Unexpectedly, the boy in front of me didn't appreciate it.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If you want to die, I won't stop you, but if you don't hand over the money now, don't regret it in the future!"
Lei Xingkong responded in silence, without batting an eyelid.
Behind him, everyone at the outpost was a little unable to calm down after hearing what Chen Tuzi said. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Lord Yingzheng, they would probably have gone over to kill someone with their swords on the spot.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Chen Tuzi fiercely squeezed out three "good" words through his teeth, and without any further nonsense, he directly opened the wooden door and led them inside.
Behind the wooden door, you can see the entire courtyard at a glance.
The courtyard is very large, with dozens of thatched sheds set up in a large open space. Those thatched sheds are extremely simple, each one is so low that a person can only half-bend to get in. There is no door, so maybe it can be called that.
A few rag strips were hung in the place where the door was. When the cold wind blew in at night, they swung vigorously, and the cold air flowed straight into the shed.
