Chapter 2274 Encounter

Colonel Situ had obviously been asked this question, and he nodded with concern: "That's the problem! How did the Imperial Master die? Previously, the Imperial Master went deep into the Jiang Kingdom alone and killed the Jiang Kingdom's Imperial Advisor. Blade. And today..."

"Jiang Guo's revenge?" Gao Peng understood immediately, and his face immediately became alert. He looked at the noise outside the city gate and nodded, "If so, we must guard the four gates and assist the Admiral and the others in their investigation. Villagers, be careful not to let the remnants of the Jiang Kingdom enter the capital and cause trouble!"

"Yes, that's right!" Colonel Situ replied with a smile, and then said mysteriously, "However, I feel that the Ministry of War's move is a bit of a fuss. It's just taking off your pants and farting!"

Gao Peng knew this very well and hurriedly said with a smile: "I am willing to listen to your opinions."

"Is this number one? Where can we see a master who can kill a national master? How could he be among such vulgar villagers?" Lieutenant Situ proudly pointed his hand and said, "You Do you think there will be one here?”

"Of course it's impossible!" Gao Peng suddenly realized, "Those are all top-notch figures, how could they enter through the city gate? What about the second one, sir?"

"The second one?" Colonel Situ smiled, "Of course he is the one who can enter through the city gate!"

"Then...who is that person?" Gao Peng didn't understand.

Colonel Situ said again: "Those who can enter through the city gate are naturally the remnants of Jiang Kingdom!"

Gao Ming nodded and said: "Indeed, indeed..."

"But the problem is..." Lieutenant Situ said again, "If Jiang State has found a master to kill the national teacher, Jiang State must be recruiting troops to expand its power. How could Jiang State develop its power to me now? Where is the capital of the Bronze Pillar Kingdom?"

"Yes. That's right!" Gao Peng suddenly realized, and then Gao Peng asked again, "But what if it wasn't the national master Jiang Guo hired someone to kill?"

"If not, why are we guarding the four gates and interrogating the villagers passing by?"

"Oh...yes!" Gao Peng nodded even more. "Your Majesty, what you said is true. It seems that we didn't come here at all! But the question is, why did the Ministry of War issue such a mindless order?"

Lieutenant Situ smiled slightly, pointed at his head with his finger and said with a smile: "Now we have to use our brains! Think about it, the national master has fallen, how can the monarch not be angry? What should the six departments do? Don't you show that you are very busy? . Can’t you show your presence and show your attitude?”

"My subordinate understands, so...even if you want to fart, you must take off your pants.

It means that he is really... farting! "Gao Peng smiled, but just as he smiled, the eyebrows on his face moved slightly. He looked into the distance and whispered, "Sir, look over there, after the villagers entering the city..."

"Oh?" Lieutenant Situ was stunned. He raised his eyes and followed Gao Peng's gaze, and doubts flashed in his eyes.

But within a moment, more people had gathered at the east gate. Since this was the first interrogation, Captain Situ's men were obviously unskilled. They let few people go and kept many. Behind the flow of people stood four men. These four men were not tall. If you were standing on the ground, you might not be able to tell anything strange, but Colonel Situ and Gao Peng were riding on horses, and you could see the differences between the four men at a glance.

Most of the people who get up early are farmers in the suburbs. Or traders, these four men were obviously dressed as warriors, and in the middle of the four was a young scholar dressed in white Confucian attire. If these alone would not attract Gao Peng's attention, what made Gao Peng and Captain Situ frown. The scholar's eyes flickered, and he seemed to want to get out while watching the interrogating soldiers, but within a short while, some people pushing carts came around them one after another, blocking them and making it difficult for them to move forward or retreat. . In particular, when Captain Situ looked at the scholar, the scholar clearly looked away, looking elsewhere, and even glanced at the city wall a few times.

Lieutenant Situ and Gao Peng were sent to the east gate to guard and investigate. Of course they were the kind of characters who did not rub sand in their eyes. Seeing this, they didn't know that there must be something wrong with this scholar.

Colonel Situ raised his eyebrows, and Gao Peng understood immediately. He spurred his horse slightly, left the spot, and slowly entered the city gate, obviously intending to inform the general on the city wall. Colonel Situ jumped off the horse, tightened the whip in his hand slightly, and tried to remove the weapon from the hook next to the saddle...

At this moment, a slightly impatient voice sounded from behind him: "What are you doing? Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

Lieutenant Situ was startled and quickly turned around to look, only to see two boys in brocade clothes from inside the city gate. The one in front of him was thin and the one behind was slightly fatter. However, both of them had faces as white as jade and their eyes were as white as jade. His eyes are like stars and his brilliance is restrained. At first glance, he is no ordinary person. Behind them, there was another thin scholar in Confucian attire, holding a folding fan in his left hand and a book in his right hand, shaking his head while reading, and slowly walked towards him.

And that impatient voice came from the mouth of the boy in front of him: "Get out of the way quickly, don't block my young master's way to travel!"

"This...which young master is this?" Colonel Situ was stunned for a moment, and just now he was muttering in his heart. The two boys were almost in front of him. Colonel Situ did not dare to neglect and hurriedly got out of the way. This senior official in the capital of the Bronze Pillar Kingdom There were so many dignitaries that it was impossible for him to recognize them all, and since he had never received an order to interrogate people leaving the city, he naturally would not stop them.

"Oh? What's going on?" When he reached the city gate, the scholar looked away from the scroll and looked at the commotion at the city gate with some confusion, and asked with a frown.

The skinny boy in front hurriedly said: "Let me tell you, this is called entering the city for inspection, to check if there is anything wrong with the people entering the city!"

"Oh, so that's it!" The scholar's eyes swept across the faces of Captain Situ, the surrounding soldiers and the nearby villagers, and then he walked out of the city gate without stopping.

Captain Situ saw that the scholar didn't even know what an inspection was, and he knew that the scholar was not someone he could afford to offend, or that he had nothing to do with him, so he raised his hand, took off his iron spear from his horse, and prepared to follow the scholar.

The scholar in the crowd in the distance obviously saw the actions of Captain Situ and Gao Peng, and knew that something was wrong. There was a trace of panic on his face. He turned around and was about to squeeze out of the crowd with four warriors, but the scholar looked up at the sharp spears and swords on the city wall, and hesitated again.

At this time, the scholar who came out of the city just walked to his left. The scholar's eyes turned, and he hurriedly squeezed out of a pile of carriages and horses, shouting: "Brother Su, Brother Su, I'm here..."

The one who came out of the city was naturally Xiao Hua. He took Liu Yi and Wang Zhifei out of Heiyunling, and did not fly directly to Qianyu Mountain, but turned and landed in Tongzhu Country. He wanted to ask Zhu Qing of Zhaixing Tower something, but unfortunately Zhu Qing was no longer in Tongzhu Country. As for where Zhaixing Tower went, the new manager did not know, so Xiao Hua waited for a few days and participated in a small auction last night before preparing to leave for Qianyu Mountain.

Of course, with Xiao Hua's current cultivation, he no longer changed his shape, and he didn't know whether Tongzhu Country knew of his arrival, or knew but dared not speak out. In short, Xiao Hua successfully took the two boys out of the capital of Tongzhu Country at dawn. As for why Xiao Hua wore Confucian clothes and asked the two to call him Young Master, it was purely a whim, like going on a so-called study tour with You Chongquan.

Let's say Xiao Hua saw a scholar in brocade clothes squeezed out of the crowd entering the city, trying to grab him, and calling him Brother Su. He was a little surprised at first, but seeing the scholar's slightly panicked look and the Situ Xiaowei holding a weapon behind him, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, and let the scholar grab his Confucian clothes.

Sure enough, the scholar saw that Xiao Hua did not show any doubt or disgust, and was overjoyed, shouting: "Brother Su, I have been waiting outside the city for a night. Didn't we agree to go to Jingling Mountain last night? How can you see the sunrise if you leave the city now?"

While speaking, the scholar winked at Xiao Hua, as if reminding Xiao Hua not to expose him.

Xiao Hua smiled and said loudly: "Brother Lang, it's not that I didn't go last night. My family suddenly had an important matter, and I had no choice... So, as soon as the city gate opened today, I hurried out, wasn't it to apologize to you, brother Lang?"

"Ah, don't say sorry!" The scholar took the opportunity to pull Xiao Hua's sleeve and walked out, "You should think about how to explain to Miss Linghua! You broke her appointment twice in a row!"

"Apologize, apologize..." Xiao Hua smiled, "It seems that I want to host and apologize to you."

As he said, the two went very intimately. Liu Yi was of course not surprised. He pulled the dazed Wang Zhifei and walked in front, and the four men protected him at the back.

Situ Xiaowei naturally stood in the distance, looking a little unsure, but seeing that Xiao Hua looked calm and didn't seem to be pretending, he stopped chasing. As for the top of the city wall, when Gao Peng looked down again, Xiao Hua and the scholar had already walked far away.

The scholar took Xiao Hua for half a meal, then turned his head slightly to see if he was chasing him, and then let go of his hand. However, there were still some sweat stains on Xiao Hua's sleeves, which were obviously from the scholar's nervous hands.

Xiao Hua looked up and down and bowed, saying: "Brother, the city gate is far away, and I guess those officers and soldiers can't see it. I still have some things to do, so I'm sorry I can't see you off. Goodbye."

The scholar saw that Xiao Hua was very straightforward and didn't ask why he had rashly held him. He hurriedly returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Brother, you misunderstood. I'm not afraid of any officers and soldiers, but I have some misunderstandings with them..."

"Haha, I understand!" Xiao Hua also smiled and said again, "Goodbye!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)
