As soon as the sun came out from the top of the hill, the gatekeepers opened the city gate, and the villagers who had waited outside the gate for a long time were carrying their loads, and those who drove the carts were all rushing to the gate of the city—it was time for the market today. In the old days, if you want to buy or sell anything, you have to go to the market in a hurry, but when you are done, you will have money and nowhere to use it.

The gate of the city is not big, and it is only half opened. A dozen or so tall soldiers holding guns are watching the people entering the city.Of course, it's not like they don't have faces, and they get one or two traffickers who have never seen them before. They go up and check them carefully.

A young and handsome lieutenant sits behind the long table, holding a brush that is almost bald, and draws a small portrait of the person who came to make up the testimony.Fortunately, there are few newcomers in the city, and he is agile in his hands and feet. Usually, it takes only half a stick of incense before a newcomer can enter the city with a voucher.

"Hey, brother, I have something to ask." A man holding a mule patted the shoulder of the person in front of him. "What's wrong with Weizhou City? Why do you have to apply for a certificate to enter the city for business?"

The young man who was asked was also hearty, and he opened his mouth to show his white teeth: "To tell you the truth, old man, I don't know. If the county master says we want to check, let's check. Anyway, it doesn't take much effort, and it won't delay the morning market." of."

"Then what exactly do we need to investigate?" The middle-aged man looked up at the shrinking line in front of him, then at the people queuing up to paint portraits, took out a water bag and took a sip, "I'm still in a hurry after packing up the goods." I’m giving it to customers! I’ve never seen any certificates required before going to the border..."

Seeing him frowning, stamping his feet, and sighing, the young man shrugged helplessly. The common people could only obey what the government wanted to do.

The people at the gate were chatting when they suddenly saw a soldier running towards the gate of the city. He stopped not far from the gate of the city and shouted before dismounting the horse: "Ah Han, stop drawing, the general told me to declare You go back!"

"Here we come." Hearing that, the handsome lieutenant quickly put down his pen, walked quickly to the side of the cavalryman, got on his horse and sat behind him, and the two of them quickly disappeared.

"Oh! Brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city today." The young man turned his head and said, "There is no portrait of Lieutenant Di after he left, and guests from other places can't get through..."

"No way!!!"

"If you don't believe me, look..."

Sure enough, the soldiers only let acquaintances into the city at first, and those outsiders who did not line up were directly driven away.The middle-aged man spat, and led the mule in depression, planning to leave.

At this moment, horseshoes sounded again from the direction of the city gate, and a few wisps of smoke and dust rose from the official road in the distance. The middle-aged man followed the sound, hoping that the officer Di Wei who could draw small portraits would come back to help him Get a pass to enter the city.

It's a pity that two young men, one white and one blue, came over, and the dust kicked up by the mount didn't stick to them at all, so it wasn't the person he was looking forward to.Seeing the sword hanging from the waist of the visitor, several soldiers also gathered together, fearing that something might happen.The young man in blue got off his horse when he saw the city gate.He walked up to a soldier, seemed to ask something, and then left with the man in white.

"Hey, let's go, there's no fun to watch..." The young man curled his lips and glanced at the man, only to find that the man's eyes were straight and his lips were slightly parted, staring blankly at the direction the two left.

"Hello? Hey, brother, what's the matter with you?"

good guy...

This person...probably some big shot...Maybe, he is a son or brother who brought his guards out to play?

The middle-aged man thought.He has traveled all over the country for many years as a businessman, and he naturally recognized that the man in white was wearing a rare and expensive material that is hard to buy - Qingxue!That's Qingxue, the fabric that can avoid all kinds of poisons, it's great to be able to make a middle coat, but this person used it extravagantly to make a coat!

And that horse, with its shiny coat and strong hoofs, is a rare horse!

And that treasured knife, the scabbard turned out to be sterling silver mixed with gold inlaid with seven treasures!Thinking about it, he must be a magic soldier who has been tempered and beaten.Even though the man wrapped it in mink fur, it still couldn't hide its brilliance!

And that mink...

And that jade pendant...

and also……

He must be rich! ! !

It seems that there are still many good things in this border town!What's more important is that there are fat sheep here - that disdainful eyes, that proud demeanor!Only rich young masters can have such a bearing!If you don't slaughter sheep, you will be a merchant in vain!

The man clenched his fists and decided to "operate" well, trying to make a big deal!

On the official road not far away, Bai Yutang shuddered for no reason: "Cat, do you have any weird feelings?"

"No wow, why did you ask that suddenly?" Zhan Zhao didn't take it seriously, "We have to speed up, maybe Brother Nian and the others have already arrived at General Pang's tent." Even if there is already a letter written by Mr. Gongsun, let General Pang wait for them is not very good.

"Oh." Bai Yutang took a little luck secretly, but found nothing abnormal, and could only lament that he was nervous and had a whim.

The two of them ran away for half a cup of tea, and finally came to the Tibetan Army Valley outside Jingyuan County, Weizhou. At the entrance of the valley, they saw Nian Lu who had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Nian, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Zhan Zhao eased the reins and rode side by side with Nian Lu.

Nian Lu smiled: "It's nothing, I just came back a little earlier, Kaifeng Mansion has taken care of everything?"

"With Wang Chao and Zhao Hu here, it's no problem." Bai Yutang rode his horse closer, walking steadily between the two of them, "If there is a problem with sending the dead body of a criminal, don't stay in Kaifeng Mansion."

"Yutang..." Zhan Zhao gave him a slightly reproachful look, then turned his hand towards Nianlu, "Brother Nian has worked hard all the way, but I will trouble you to introduce General Pang for us."

"Why is this so difficult? Brother Zhan, just follow me~" Nian Lu bit the word "District Zhan", glanced at Bai Yutang, tightened the reins and ran forward, and the two of them hurriedly speeded up to keep up.

General Flying Star's Tibetan Army Valley is far more than one place, but this place has been in operation for the longest time and is also the most strictly guarded. If there is no one to guide the way, it is difficult for outsiders to sneak in without being discovered.

"Uh, isn't this Mr. Gongsun's herbal medicine... and this formation..." Bai Yutang pondered as he walked, the layout of the Tibetan Army Valley was really familiar, although it was not exactly the same as the medicine garden in Kaifeng Prefecture, it was similar in purpose, the key The place is even more intriguing.So... Is this the work of Gongsun Fox... Well, there are secret whistles on the trees every few steps...

Bypassing a clump of wild wormwood as tall as a person, the vision of the few people finally opened up, and a military camp appeared in front of Zhan Zhao.

"Here we are." Nian Lu got off his horse a hundred steps away from Yuanmen Gate, and the three of them led the horse and walked over slowly, handing over their ID badges one by one, and registering their signatures, and then they entered General Flying Star camp.

The security is really tight, so can someone take advantage of such strict control?Bai Yutang recalled what King Xiangyang said before, that there were spies in Pang Tong's army, is this... possible?

"Brother Nian, you're back!" A lieutenant came over leading the horse, "Are you here to see the general? The general just went to the school grounds, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while. These two are..."

"So that's the case, then let's wait for a while. They are Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, the guards of Mr. Bao in Kaifeng Mansion," Nian Lu nodded, and introduced them with a smile, "This is Di Hanchen, the lieutenant officer of the army. Different from the rough guys here, Han Chen is a master of poetry and rites~Of course, don't underestimate his martial arts!"

"It's just drawing casually, Brother Nian is joking again." Di Hanchen clasped his fists and saluted, "Hanchen has seen the two of you."

The two of Zhan Bai also returned a salute. This handsome and gentle young man could not help but feel good about him as soon as they met.With sharp eyes, Bai Yutang saw a blue tattoo on Di Hanchen's left cheek, faintly visible under the cover of his long hair, and could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.

That Di Hanchen smiled slightly: "Oh, when Hanchen was young, he fought with others and accidentally injured someone's life, so he became famous. Is this..." He raised a strand of long hair, and then said, "It's just for the sake of Easy to walk around."

"Hey, that's not your fault, what are you thinking about?" Nian Lu patted him on the shoulder, gave Bai Yutang another look, and changed the subject, "Ah Han, are you going back to the city now?"

"No, the general ordered me to go to Bao'an County." Di Hanchen raised the wax letter in his hand, "It will take more than a month to come back. Therefore, Hanchen probably won't be able to have a good time with the two brothers." He said again I bowed my hands as a salute, said goodbye and set off on the road.

"Unexpected..." Bai Yutang said softly, such a person with many etiquettes but not irritating, would actually beat someone to death.

"Brother Bai is right, Han Chen is not a vicious person." Nian Lu called a soldier to the school grounds to see if the general had finished his training, then turned around and sighed, "He never puts down the book, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to mine, but I can restrain myself very well, and never hurt my opponent in school field training."

"Then..." Zhan Zhao lowered his head and pondered, "Could it be... that he has suffered on behalf of others?"

Nian Lu glanced at the precious son of the Twelfth Prince, and remained silent—what's the point of being so smart?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Yutang also understood: "It's really been for others?" Who would be willing to have such an excellent son?

"It's just that he has a direct elder brother above him, and his mother is unable to speak..." Nian Lu Youyou sighed, "That's good, he is more comfortable in the barracks. This is our Blessing..."

The two of Zhanbai looked at each other, and changed the subject tacitly—I'm really not used to prying into other people's privacy.

While the three were chatting, a message came from the military tent that General Pang had returned and was about to see them.

"Let's go, don't keep the general waiting." Nian Lu took a step ahead and led the two young men into the tent of the only king with a different surname in Song Dynasty.
