After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Wuzhou City was very prosperous, and Guo Xiaotong had served as the prefect here for many years. Every time he had the opportunity to be promoted, he always refused for various reasons, saying that he wanted to stay here and serve the people.

The emperor is far away and would not privately inquire about what kind of person he is, but would rather look at what he has done.

Wuzhou has enjoyed good weather for many years, so as long as he doesn't do anything wrong, there won't be any major problems.

However, the problem lies here. The emperor is far away and if an official stays here for too long, he can easily become a local tyrant.

When Ye Xunqing and his companions arrived at Wuzhou City, it was already dusk. They did see wheel tracks on the road, but they were unable to catch up with the carriage.

The gate of Wuzhou City was about to close, and they had no pass on them, so there was no way for them to enter the city.

Ye Xunqing went to negotiate with the soldiers guarding the city, "Brother, please tell me, are there any carriages entering the city today?"

The guard looked him up and down, then curled his lips and said, "There are so many people coming in and out every day, and so many carriages. Which carriages are you looking for?"

Ye Xunqing replied: "The carriage is full of children."

When the soldiers guarding the city heard him say this, their expressions changed immediately and they stopped looking at him. "What child? I've never seen him before."

Ye Xunqing knew from his expression that he had definitely seen this before, "Brother, I see that you have sharp ears and eyes. I'm sure you know how many people come and go here."

As he spoke, he took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and put it into the other person's hand.

The soldier's face lit up with a smile as he saw the money. "Oh, you mean a carriage for children? I think I've seen it before... Have you seen it before?"

Seeing his greedy look, Ye Xunqing really wanted to punch him. But in order to find out about Xiaobai, he endured it.

"Brother, please think about it carefully." Ye Xunqing secretly stuffed another small piece of silver.

I came out in a hurry and didn't bring enough silver. I don't know if I can make this greedy guy give in before the silver is spent.

"Oh, there were some carriages with children in them," said the greedy soldier. "But where did they go? Oh, I can't remember at this moment."

Ye Xunqing took out the last bit of silver he had and said, "Brother, please think about it carefully."

The money-grubber weighed the silver and thought it was enough. He said, "I know where they went, but I will tell you if you do me a favor."

"What's the matter?" Ye Xunqing endured it again and again.

The greedy soldier stretched out his hand to touch Ye Xunqing's face, "Such a pretty boy, if he were to go to the city, he would be in great trouble. Follow me, I will protect you."

"Are you tired of living?" Ye Xunqing finally couldn't help it and took out a kitchen knife from behind his back, "Give me back my money?"

The soldier was startled at first, but seeing his thin appearance, he didn't take him seriously.

"You little bitch, you're shameless. Let me teach you a lesson!"

Ye Xunqing slashed at him with a knife, but the soldiers were trained after all, so he failed to hit him.

Just as the soldier drew his sword, a stick hit him from behind and knocked him against the wall. He vomited blood and fainted.

"Who is it?" The other soldiers noticed the situation here and rushed here with their swords drawn.

Feng Jingheng went to another gate. He had already beaten up the soldiers there. They said they didn't see the carriage entering the city, so he came here to find Ye Xunqing.

He didn't expect to see this man trying to kill his Ah Qing as soon as he arrived. Could he bear it?

Feng Jingheng raised the stick in his hand and killed everyone in the area.

The soldiers of Wuzhou City were still weak. In the face of absolute power, they had no room for resistance.

Besides, Feng Jingheng was originally a martial arts genius, and there was not much difference between his spear skills and stick skills.

Those people couldn't get close to Feng Jingheng at all. Whenever the sticks hit them, they would either fall to the ground or hit the wall.

Ye Xunqing didn't bother to be polite with them. He went back to the carriage to get the whip and beat these greedy people to death.

The whip's killing power was still too weak, so they mainly relied on Feng Jingheng to beat them.

Ye Xunqing walked over and picked up the unconscious greedy soldier, then took out three pieces of silver from his arms, "I think you are really tired of living. You dare to ask for my money? I will kill you."

Why is life so precious? Why should we live in peace with others?

Ye Xunqing just wants to go crazy now. If anyone dares to touch his brother, he will make them live a life worse than death!

The news of them causing trouble at the city gate soon reached the commander, who personally led his troops to suppress them.

He wanted to see who was so bold as to cause trouble under his nose. Didn't he know whose territory this was?

"Catch them for me!" ordered the commander.

Seeing so many people coming, Ye Xunqing thought about ending the battle quickly or hiding directly in the city instead of engaging in a head-on confrontation with them.

When Feng Jingheng saw these people, he unconsciously tightened the stick in his hand. He wanted to protect Ah Qing, so these people could not stay.

"Ah!" Feng Jingheng shouted and rushed forward with his stick raised.

This is not an ordinary stick, but a stick made of solid mulberry wood. The surface is very smooth and very convenient to use.

And he doesn't have to worry about not having weapons. Aren't there knives and guns everywhere on the ground?

"Give Xiaobai back!" Feng Jingheng fought ten people at once, not one against ten, but ten at once.

He swung the stick in circles in front of them like a top.

An inch longer and an inch stronger the weapon is, those people are no match for him at all.

Ye Xunqing was not idle either. While everyone's attention was focused on Feng Jingheng, he quietly slipped to the gate. Taking advantage of the dim light of dusk, he put the whip around the guard's neck and pulled him down.

The guard fell to the ground and shouted, "Who is it?"

"Don't move." Ye Xunqing put the kitchen knife to his neck, "If you want to live, tell your men to stop."

The guard's eyes widened, "Do you know who I am?"

Ye Xunqing was not blind, and the man was wearing light armor, so he must be an officer.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. There is no end to the fighting. As long as the leader is captured, the other soldiers will lay down their weapons.

"I'll count to three and your men stop, otherwise I'll cut your throat." As Ye Xunqing spoke, the blade moved a little closer to his neck and touched his flesh.

"No, no, no, hero, please spare me, hero, please spare me!" The guard looked fierce, but he was actually a coward.

Ye Xunqing said: "I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer truthfully."

The guard tilted his neck to the side. "He'll definitely tell you everything he knows."

Ye Xunqing asked him, "Do you know where the carriage from the city went? The one with the child on it."

"What carriage, what child? I don't know!" the guard wailed. "Hero, I really didn't see any carriage!"

Ye Xunqing said: "It doesn't matter. Your people must have seen it. They just said that several carriages entered the city, and there were children on the carriages."

The garrison commander immediately said, "Come quickly, tell this hero what kind of car has a child in it?"

A soldier got up from the ground and said, "General, that carriage belongs to the prefectural governor. We dare not stop it."

The commander swallowed his saliva and said, "Heroes, two heroes, you all heard it, that is the carriage of the prefectural governor's mansion. I am just a small guard, I can't control the prefectural governor's mansion."

Ye Xunqing didn't intend to let him go. "Take us to the prefect's mansion and look for those carriages. If you can't find them, I'll chop off your head and use it as a carriage wheel."

The defending general was so upset that he wanted to cry but had no tears. If he had known this earlier, he would not have gotten involved in this mess. He was about to go home for dinner when a soldier came to report that someone was causing trouble at the city gate.

I originally wanted to make some money, but now, not only did I not get any money, but I ended up with blood all over the floor.

"Okay, okay, I'll take the hero there right away. Please don't kill me. I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old son. Nothing can happen to me." The guard was very scared. After all, it was obvious that these two people were not easy to deal with.

Ye Xunqing said: "As long as you lead me to find the person, I will let you go."

Knock him out first to avoid any complications.

Ye Xunqing and Feng Jing did not dare to escort the hostages to the prefect's mansion in a high-profile manner, for fear that the prefect would know that they had taken hostages and shoot them in secret.

So they took a carriage there, and Ye Xunqing stuffed the guard into the carriage, which would be much safer.

The soldiers were concerned that they had someone under their command and did not dare to act rashly, for fear of being accused of killing their superiors.
