Chapter 2273: Trivia About the City Gate

"Okay, no need to say more. Xiaoyao, help me keep an eye on the cave. This is a thousand-mile sound transmission note. If you have an emergency, you can release it. This Tongzhu Kingdom is only a territory of more than 2,000 miles. This thousand-mile sound transmission note of mine should be received." The little hand touched his bosom and took out a sound transmission note and handed it to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao took the sound transmission note and carefully put it in his bosom, and reminded again: "Master, Qianyu Mountain is on the other side of Tongzhu Kingdom, and it is not only more than 2,000 miles away from here. Master, be careful."

"I know!" As he said, Xiao Hua waved his hand, and the Pegasus flew out of the space, "Slurp..." As soon as the Pegasus came out of the space, it immediately emitted a faint white light, and its wings spread out a few feet of white light, and it raised its head and neighed, shaking the four fields.

"Goodbye, Master!" Qin Xiaoyao bowed hurriedly, "Disciple respectfully sends you off."

Xiao Hua waved his hand, and Liu Yi and Wang Zhifei flew up from the ground and landed on the neck of the Pegasus. Xiao Hua also stepped on the Pegasus, and then patted the Pegasus's neck. The Pegasus stepped on its four hooves and spread its wings to soar into the sky. After a while, the Pegasus's light turned into a small dot, and only Xiao Hua's singing voice remained on the entire Black Cloud Ridge: "The formation on the Black Cloud Ridge is completed. From now on, the Taoist sect has a foundation. It dares to make Confucian cultivators tremble at the news, and the reputation of the creation of immortals spreads!"

"Farewell, Master..." On the Black Cloud Ridge, whether it saw the light of the Pegasus or heard Xiao Hua's singing voice, they all shouted respectfully.

"Ouch..." Only Qin Xiaoyao raised his head from the ground and hurriedly raised his hand, as if to remind Xiao Hua, but unfortunately Xiao Hua's figure had long disappeared, Qin Xiaoyao had to mutter in his heart, "Master, you flew in the wrong direction!"

A few days later in the morning. At the other end of the capital of Tongzhu State, the sun was shining everywhere, and the city walls of Tongzhu State were particularly majestic under the sun. On the city walls in the warm sunshine, teams of heavily armored soldiers patrolled back and forth with weapons in their hands. The faces of these soldiers were tense and solemn, as if a war was about to begin.

"Open the city gate..." Under the city wall, a slightly old and loud voice sounded, "Boom boom..." The city gate was slowly pushed open with a heavy sound, and the small vendors who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time pushed their wooden carts and rushed in hurriedly. The carts were filled with vegetables, chickens, ducks, or other things. There were so many things, all of which were the goods that these vendors relied on for their livelihood.

"Slow..." But there was a very majestic roar inside the city gate, followed by a sound of horse hooves and armor. Several teams of soldiers in armor like those on the city wall, led by several cavalry officers, rushed out of the city gate and blocked these vendors outside the city gate.

"Sir, Sir, what are you doing?" In front of the vendor was an old man pulling a cart of vegetables. The vegetables on the cart were unusually fresh, and there were some crystal dewdrops hanging on the leaves. "I have to deliver vegetables to the home of Master Wang in the west of the city! He is entertaining guests today. If my vegetables are not fresh, it will delay the master's feast. Can I not afford it?"

"Shut up!" An officer in front of the horse cursed,

Looking up, he said, "I am ordered by the Ministry of War to guard the East Gate from today on. All people coming and going must be inspected by me..."

"Sir! What are you inspecting? I pass by the East Gate every day to sell chickens and ducks at the market in the east of the city. If you don't believe me, ask the old military commander who guards the gate..." Behind the old vegetable seller, the middle-aged man pushing a cart of chickens and ducks was a little dissatisfied, and the chickens and ducks on the cart also quacked.

For a while. The whole East Gate was in chaos.

"Snap! Shut up!" The officer waved the whip in his hand and said angrily, "Now is the war, for the safety of the capital of Tongzhu State, and for your safety. The Ministry of War has ordered that not only the East Gate, but also the other three gates of the capital should be checked. Maybe there are spies from the enemy country among you. Do you...do you hide weapons in your vegetables?"

"Oh...Soldier!" The old man's face changed drastically, and he shouted hurriedly, "Look for yourself, I am a native of Tongzhu State, how could I do something to let down Tongzhu State?"

"That's right, Sir, this war has not been going on for a day or two, it has been fought for hundreds of days, what does it have to do with us? I heard that Jiang State was destroyed by the king a long time ago, who dares to go against my Tongzhu State?"

"What? You don't dare to let me check?" The officer looked at the noisy crowd and grinned, "Instead of saying so much here, I have already checked . "

"Sir..." the old man in front said with a wry smile, "It's not that I don't dare to check, the problem is that my vegetables... Okay, Sir, please treat them with care, just like your own wife, okay? These are all copper coins..."

"Shut up..." The officer waved the whip in his hand, but he was just threatening, and didn't really whip it. Then he ordered the soldier next to him, "Go check! Don't let the suspect go..."

"Yes..." The soldiers responded and rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers. These soldiers were not as kind as the officers. Suddenly, the sounds of chickens and dogs barking rang out, and the vegetables that looked very fresh turned into ruins in an instant. The old man next to him was distressed to protect them, but he was not as strong as those soldiers. After the soldier checked randomly, he waved his hand to let him go, and he rushed behind the old man. The old man was about to cry and stood there without moving.

When the officer saw the old man blocking the city gate, he frowned and shouted: "Old man, why don't you hurry up and deliver the food? Although the food is a bit messy, it does not affect the food. Even if Mr. Wang doesn't want you, you can still go to the market to sell it. !”

"Oh, Master!" the old man said with a mournful face. "You can get thirty copper coins by selling vegetables at the market. I wanted to give them to Master Wang so early in the morning. He is kind-hearted and gave me thirty copper coins." San Wen. I messed up Mr. Wang’s affairs today, so I won’t be able to deliver food to him anymore..."

"It's just three pennies. Why are you chirping again? Look, you're blocking the people behind you!" A young officer next to him roared and was about to wave his riding crop.

"Stop..." the middle-aged officer scolded, stopping the young officer from being reckless. He took out a few copper coins from his arms and threw them to the old man, and said, "I am waiting here to guard the safety of my Bronze Pillar Kingdom, and I am entering the city. There are so many people out there, we can't be as gentle as we treat our own mother-in-law. This is what I'm paying you, just take it and get out of here and into the city. Don't follow the so-called road. Mr. Wang, tell me, it was Captain Situ Ming who spoiled this dish today. If he thinks highly of me, you will be fine. If he looks down on me, there is nothing I can do!"

"Yes, yes..." The old farmer smiled widely, and quickly picked up a few coins scattered on the cart, stuffed them into his arms, and quickly pushed his cart into the city gate.

"Colonel Situ..." the officer next to him said in confusion, "Although the old farmer's vegetables were disturbed and somewhat damaged, they can still be sold in the market by peeling off the leaves and sprinkling some water on them. It’s just three cents. He is obviously..."

Before the officer could finish speaking, Lieutenant Situ waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, it is just three cents. To you and me, it is just change. In the eyes of this old farmer, it may be just one day's ration. Giving alms to beggars is also charity. This old man, at least he won’t let him block the city gate.”

"Yes, Colonel!" The young officer complimented, then looked at the mess outside the city gate and whispered, "Master Colonel, what happened today? Why did the Ministry of War suddenly ask me to guard the four gates? Aren't there four admirals above the four gates? I haven't seen them in such strong troops. Besides, the capital was never so alert when the army went out in person? Could it be that something happened? "

"This..." Lieutenant Situ hesitated a little, looked up at Sakon, and saw that there was no one else except the two of them, so he whispered, "Gao Peng, this is what I am telling you, you must not say a word to others. !”

"Master Situ, don't worry. Don't you know the character of your subordinate?" When the young man named Gao Peng heard this, his eyes lit up, he lowered his head and replied quietly.

Colonel Situ nodded: "Actually... it's not a particularly secretive matter, and it's been nearly a hundred days since the incident. Although the six ministries above the court requested to keep it secret, after all, the fire can't be covered by paper. Even if I don't say it today, Sooner or later you will know."

When Captain Situ said this, Gao Peng became more and more anxious and asked anxiously: "What secret? You actually want us to personally come and interrogate people who enter the capital?"

"The Imperial Master is dead!" Colonel Situ looked at Sakon again and whispered.

"Ah?? What? Imperial Master..." Gao Peng was indeed still a young man, his eyes flashed with an incredible look and he cried out in surprise!

"You want to die!" Lieutenant Situ raised his hand and covered Gao Peng's mouth, which was close to his ear, and said angrily, "If you want to die, don't hurt me!"

"My lord, my lord..." Gao Peng hurriedly apologized and lowered his voice, "It's all the fault of the subordinates! It's not the subordinates who were careless! This news... ahem, it's really too shocking! The master of the country, the old man He has incredible magical powers and is already a top-notch god on land! How is that possible?”

"Well, that's right. You have some knowledge and didn't ask me if the Imperial Master died of illness..." Lieutenant Colonel Situ nodded slightly, seeming to approve.

Gao Peng smiled and said: "I am just too surprised, but I am not brainless. Whoever thinks about it, with the magical power of the national master and today's battle, how could this old man die of illness?" (To be continued.
