Chapter 15 City Guard
At the end of the road, Xiaomengcheng is in sight.
Wu Qi frowned, the appearance of Xiao Mengcheng was really disappointing. The three-foot-high rammed-earth city wall, the low city gate tower, the feeble flag wrapped around the flagpole on the tower, plus a few feeble guard sergeants standing at the gate of the city, the first impression of Xiaomengcheng is rundown.
Approaching the gate of the city, Wu Qi saw a lot of thatched grass unwillingly burrowing out of the city wall, swaying in the wind with pride. On the gate tower of this city gate, there is actually a wild fruit branch that is more than 20 feet high, and there are dozens of fruits the size of children's fists hanging between the branches and leaves.
"Squeak~"
Wu Qi knocked his teeth and took a breath of cold air from the gap between his teeth.
Lu Chengfeng's face became even more ugly. He tilted his neck and stared at the city wall of Xiaomengcheng. After a long time, he let out a weak snort. But he soon laughed again, squinting his eyes and smiling disapprovingly: "Don't beg, fortunately I'm not the city guard here, I'm just a military officer here! Why don't you congratulate me?"
Glancing at Lu Chengfeng, Wuqi bowed his hands to him feebly: "Hexi son, congratulations son, son is not the city guard of Xiaomeng City, it is indeed the greatest blessing in life! Strange, such a dilapidated city, why? Are you going to put it here?"
Zhang Hu, who was riding a horse, came over and said loudly, "For the medicinal materials, minerals, trees, animal skins, animal meat, and barbarians in Mengshan!"
Zhang Hu pointed to Xiaomengcheng and talked eloquently, and introduced the situation of Xiaomengcheng.
Mengshan is rich in products, and no one can ignore the production of Mengshan. Therefore, Lu Guo, who has the right to rule Mengshan, specially built a city outside Mengshan, and was responsible for the collection and transfer of all the products of Mengshan. At the same time, the barbarians in Mengshan often came out to harass the country of Lu. The city set up a city in Xiaomeng City, which also played a role in early warning and defense. When the barbarians came out, Xiaomeng City bore the brunt of the barbarians. Even if they couldn't stop them, they could delay them for a while.
Therefore, the fixed residents of Xiaomeng City are only 30,000 to 50,000 people, and the floating population in the city is more than 200,000. In addition, there are 12 battalions of the Tiandiren Three Brigades and 12 battalions of the city guards. The total number of troops is close to 8,000.
Eight thousand garrisoned troops, even in other prosperous cities in Lu country, there are few such troops.
"So it is!" Lu Chengfeng nodded thoughtfully: "Even if the garrison of Liyang City, the root of the Lu family, is only three thousand. There are eight thousand garrisoned in this small town, no wonder it is equipped with a garrison. An army!"
While talking, the group had already arrived in front of the city gate, and Zhang Hu clasped his fists towards Wuqi and Lu Chengfeng.
"Brother Wuqi, Young Master Lu, let's say goodbye here, there will be an appointment later! Brother Wuqi, this little Mengcheng is not a big place. If you have the mind, just come and find big brother. I am my brother. We usually live here. In the 'Tiger Court' in the east of the city! That's our home!"
He explained a few words aloud, especially the emphasis on not begging. Zhang Hu didn't even look at Lu Chengfeng, Shi Shiran co-authored a subordinate, and rode the mounts of Lu Chengfeng's dead guards, all the way fast. rushed into the city.
The faces of Lao Hei and Xiao Hei were a little ugly, and their dark faces were wrinkled into a ball.
Lu Chengfeng laughed in the sun: "This tiger is very good, he is a person with a story. He regards the rich and powerful son as a poisonous beast, a person who understands, but also a boring person. Don't beg, what do you think? "
Looking at the backs of Zhang Hu and the others, Wu Qi said frankly, "Brother Zhang Hu, he is a good man!"
Lu Chengfeng patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Oh, he is indeed a good person. Well, the barbarian hunters will inevitably have to deal with the city guards. In the future, I will take care of them more! Hey, their clothes and armor Weapons, don't you all buy them from me?"
Wu Qi nodded and looked at Lu Chengfeng up and down for a while. This Dianjun is also responsible for the ordnance management of Xiaomeng City?
The Mengcun people on the side also said hello to Wuqi,
He quickly escorted more than 30 carts into the city. They also disliked Lu Chengfeng, a wealthy young man. They always felt that there was a thick wall between Lu Chengfeng and Lu Chengfeng. Whether it was Lu Chengfeng talking or doing things, they felt extremely awkward.
In particular, Lu Chengfeng's escaped escort even injured a few villagers in Meng Village, and it is even more impossible for Meng Village people to have a good face towards Lu Chengfeng.
Although Lu Chengfeng generously gave the Mengcun people a large amount of medical expenses, gave Zhang Hu and the others the mounts of the dead guards, and gave all the weapons of the black-clothed people and a little extra money on their bodies, there was still no money left. In exchange for the goodwill of Mengcun people. These simple men are just one tendon, and Lu Chengfeng's guards provoked them, and even with him he became impersonal.
He sighed helplessly, Lu Chengfeng patted his hands and looked at Wuqi with a wry smile.
Wuqi shook his head, pointed to the twenty or so guards who were riding behind, and looked down like a defeated rooster, and said coldly, "Young master still find a way to recruit more people in Xiaomeng City, just rely on them, it's useless. Yes, it's better to rush back to save food from wasting."
Lu Chengfeng clapped his hands vigorously and laughed loudly: "Yes, they are my bodyguards, and if I keep them here, I will waste military rations to support them. That's it, it's okay, it's natural for you to leave your mounts, and go back to Liyang by yourself. Tell Madam, and say that I have arrived in Xiaomengcheng safely!"
When those guards heard Wu Qi's words, their expressions turned a little wrong, and after hearing Lu Chengfeng's order, they drew their swords to kill Wu Qi. Leaving the mount behind and walking thousands of miles back to Liyang on two legs? Isn't this killing people?
What's more terrible is that they were driven back by the son who served in their own family. What would the family think of them? This time back, the skin will be stripped to the next layer.
Twenty or so knights rolled off their horses and hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Chengfeng to apologize.
Wuqi looked at these people coldly, and said with a gloomy face: "Young Master, it's up to you. They don't seem to take your words seriously!"
Lu Chengfeng's face became more and more ugly, and he shouted sharply: "Leave the mount and get me back to Liyang. Is it difficult for me to use family methods?"
The bodyguards shivered together. They glanced at each other and didn't dare to say a word. One by one, dejectedly, they picked up their weapons and bags, and slowly turned around and walked towards the road they came from.
Wu Qi said indifferently: "Fleeing when you see a thief is because you have no guts; abandoning the Lord is disloyal; disobeying the Lord's orders is even more outrageous. What else can you expect them to do if you stay with the young master? Why not? It is even cheaper to recruit a group of available personnel in Xiaomengcheng."
Lu Chengfeng looked at Wuqi thoughtfully, and nodded in agreement.
Wu Qi smiled indifferently, and looked at Lu Chengfeng without evading. Lu Chengfeng's eyes were deep and complex, and his sullen eyes were like dark curtains, and he didn't know how many unknown things were hidden. Wuqi's eyes were as clear as water, and his eyes were also sparkling as if they did not contain any impurities, but the deepest part of his eyes was a blue wave of water, and beneath the calm water wave, he didn't know how many life-threatening vortices were hidden.
The two smiled at each other and looked at the gate of Xiaomeng City at the same time.
Suddenly, there were dense footsteps in the city, and three or four hundred people lined up in a line of honor guards and quickly greeted the city gate. In front of these people is a chubby, chubby Roshan, walking with difficulty step by step, panting and wiping the sweat from his face.
"But the son of the Lu family is here? Lord Dianjun, Lord Dianjun, you are here, the city guards of our Little Mengcheng have the backbone!"
Far away, the fat man shouted in that greasy sweet voice. Listening to his words, it was obvious that he had come to greet Lu Chengfeng.
When this Roshan came to the front, Wu Qi could see his face clearly, and he couldn't help but fall over.
The height of this guy is also similar to that of Mengcun, and his height is two meters away, but his waistline is afraid that he can have two heights of his own. He was covered with tender and tender fat like water waves all over his body. Even the ears that were the most difficult to pile up fat were covered with layers of delicate white meat, which looked no different from pig ears.
This person's facial features are even more wonderful, and the round face is nothing but a patty face, but the facial features on his white face are so delicate that people are speechless.
The watery peach blossom eyes are unfortunately two laps smaller. The bridge of the nose is quite upturned, but unfortunately it is half an inch shorter. The delicate cherry mouth, which is really about the size of a red cherry, is ruddy dotted on the lower part of the center of his face. That sweet voice is spit out from this small mouth.
He shuddered violently, Wu Qi didn't dare to look at this person's figure, a pair of thiefly bright eyes just swept past the big fat man's clothes quickly.
The clothes are made of fine silk. Wuqi suddenly felt relieved, where there are silk products, no matter how bad it is, it can't go there.
The golden crown on the top of the head is made of purple gold, and the golden light is shining and the purple energy rises. Purple gold is a good thing. In the robbery scriptures, purple gold is a basic material with a wide range of uses. Whether it is to make flying swords or magic weapons, practitioners must use a lot of purple gold. This person can use purple gold as a hair crown, which shows that there are purple gold deposits here, and it is not difficult to collect a large amount of purple gold.
The golden crown is inlaid with three thumb-sized gems and four pearls. The three gems were as bright red as blood, and at first glance, they felt hot all over. These are three gems that contain fire energy, and they are also treasures that practitioners can use.
Compared to the four pearls, the beads are quite ordinary. Mengshan is not close to the sea, and it is a very luxurious decoration to have four pearls embedded in the hair crown. However, the three gems must be made clear, whether they were purchased from other places or produced locally in Mengshan.
In addition, a jade belt around the fat man's waist was very conspicuous, especially the fist-sized oval aqua-green gem in the middle of the jade belt, which made Wu Qi's heart beat even more. Where is the ordinary precious jade, it is clearly a middle-grade 'Lvlan Stone', a kind of water attribute spirit stone.
But the most valuable thing is not these things, but a golden ring on the thumb of the fat man's right hand, inlaid with a red crystal the size of a soy bean. When he saw this ring, Wu Qi's heart almost jumped out.
The golden ring is made of 'Tianjinjin', which is a top-grade heptane metal material. Just a little bit of Tianli Jin the size of a ring is enough to blend in with other materials to forge a powerful hex-metal magic weapon.
And that red crystal is a top-grade 'Scarlet Fire Spirit Crystal' that can automatically absorb the free fire attribute aura between heaven and earth. This thing can be used as a spiritual stone to assist in cultivation, and it can also be used to forge high-grade magic weapons at one time.
Although this fat man looks a little shabby, his whole body is full of treasures!
With an attentive smile, Wu Qi jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the fat man, and bowed his hands to him.
"Dare to ask this grown-up Gao's name?"
Wu Qi asked very elegantly and politely, just like Lu Chengfeng's demeanor.
The big fat man took a few breaths, squeezed out a smile and smiled at Lu Chengfeng: "Lu Dianjun, the lower official is the city guard here, Yi Yan!"
After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Yi Yan explained with a smile: "Yi is the Yi of Zhouyi; Yan is the evolution of Tianji. Xiaguan was born in Moyang Yi's family, and Liyang Lu's family is the best of generations. !"
Lu Chengfeng laughed, he jumped out of the car, and formally greeted the fat man.
Wu Qi looked at Yi Yan, who was chubby and chubby, with a smile on his face, indescribably happy in his heart.
This bejeweled fat man is full of treasures!
