Chapter 1055 Dry
Gradually, as the people who were being questioned came forward one by one and left one by one in different ways, it was finally Huan Yin's turn.
Huan Yin glanced at the guards in front of him and thought that he had a black jade token in his hand and a special identity. No matter how powerful the people here were, they would never dare to make things difficult for him.
So, Huan Yin did not hesitate and walked up with a green robe, as if he was "I am here incognito."
Huan Yin was a shrewd person. Now he wanted to imitate the appearance of a senior patrol envoy who was unwilling to reveal his background, so he naturally learned to be 80% like him. So, he just walked up and immediately attracted the attention of the guards who were questioning him. In addition, Huan Yin's unconsciously domineering aura seemed to have frightened the guards.
"The identity of a senior patrol envoy is very useful." Huan Yin was secretly happy, and thought that with this identity, he would be much more convenient in everything during his eight days in the West.
"But I must not reveal all my details. The patrol envoy must keep some mystery, otherwise it is not called a patrol envoy. The more mysterious the patrol envoy is, the more he can scare people, even the king of heaven will be afraid. If I show all my cards right away, even if I am a senior patrol envoy, people will only treat me as an idiot. The balance must be just right." I have to admit that Huan Yin understands some things in the officialdom very well.
It was when Huan Yin thought of this that he had walked to the first guard with Qing Yi. At this time, Huan Yin quickly took out the black jade card, shook it in front of the guard in a very mysterious way, and then took it back.
Doing this is what Huan Yin thought of as "just right". Shaking it once, let the other party know his identity, so that he can be treated preferentially and given convenience everywhere in the eight days of the west. And just shaking it once, not revealing his level of patrol envoy, let alone his name, is to maintain mystery. Let no one here know who he is, how close he is to Luohou, and what his purpose is. This way, people can't guess or figure it out, and can only treat it with awe.
Huanyin's face has already shown an unfathomable smile. However, just as he was about to accept the release and send him off, the guard was stunned and then shouted: "What is that thing of yours? Show it to me and take a good look. Why are you pretending to be mysterious?"
Huanyin was also stunned. He thought he had misheard. How could the soldiers in the army not know the meaning of the black jade tablet?
"Did I shake it too fast and he really didn't see it clearly?" Thinking of this, Huanyin had no choice but to take out the black jade tablet again. And this time, he did not take it back immediately, but put it in front of the guard and let him look at it for a long time.
However, from the eyes of the guard in front of him, Huanyin still saw only confusion, without any understanding. At this time, Huanyin began to suspect that he had made a mistake.
"Could it be that I was wrong before, and the current patrol envoys no longer use black jade tablets? But I don't remember that I had appointed a senior patrol envoy named 'Yan Yang' when I was in office before?" Thinking of this, Huan Yin suddenly felt guilty. If he used the things in the past to impersonate, wouldn't he be in trouble?
At this moment, the guard suddenly got angry and shouted at Huan Yin: "What the hell is this thing, black jade? We only recognize fairy jade in the Western Eight Heavens. Are you tired of living?"
The guard obviously thought Huan Yin was playing tricks on him, so he stretched out his hand to grab the black jade tablet while scolding him.
For a moment, Huan Yin was a little panicked and didn't know what to do. But at this moment, there was a sudden "pop" sound from in front of him, and then Huan Yin saw a middle-aged man who looked like an official had appeared in front of him, and he slapped the guard directly.
"You blind thing, are you tired of living? Do you still want to do this?" A burst of scolding immediately made the guard who was making things difficult for Huanyin dumbfounded. He just covered his red face that was beaten like a monkey's buttocks, and dared not breathe.
He smiled flatteringly at Huanyin, and the official immediately shouted loudly to the back: "This is a new recruit, who came to guard the gate without learning the rules. Who gave him the qualifications? Take him back, learn it and come back, the tuition fee will be increased tenfold!"
After that, a guard came up and took the standing guard away. At this time, the official smiled and clasped his fists to Huanyin, and made a "please" gesture, saying: "Sir, the new recruit has no eyes to recognize the great mountain, please forgive me, please come over here to talk."
Huanyin smiled and finally confirmed that his black jade token was useful. So, he followed the official and walked towards the city gate, leaving behind a long line of people waiting to be investigated, looking at Huan Yin with curiosity, as if they all wanted to know who Huan Yin was, and why he was invited in respectfully without even a penny.
When they arrived at the city gate, where no one could see him, the official knelt down directly in front of Huan Yin, bowed deeply, and said: "I am Li Li, the commander who is responsible for guarding the Tiancheng Gate of Shanfeng today. I didn't know that the envoy of Shanxian City came here, and I didn't welcome him from afar. Please forgive me!"
Huan Yin lowered his voice and said: "Don't make it public."
Li Li nodded very cleverly, then stood up, bowed to Huan Yin again respectfully, and said: "I wonder if you can let me see the jade card, so that I can inform my superiors and welcome you."
Upon hearing this, Huan Yin immediately knew that the commander named Li Li was trying to find out the details from him. The commander was also smart and knew that if he figured out Huan Yin's identity, he would definitely receive a heavy reward from above. After all, the various places visited by the wandering envoys have always been unknown to the public. And if you know it, you also know the rank and name of the commander, and even know the purpose of coming here. How can you not be able to do it easily if you want to show off to cope with the inspection of the patrolling envoy?
It's a pity that this commander is still too naive. Not to mention that Huan Yin wouldn't tell him if he asked him this way, even if he tried all kinds of tricks to ask, Huan Yin wouldn't tell him. Otherwise, wouldn't Huan Yin's status as a traveling envoy become worthless immediately?
Staring at the commander in front of him, Huan Yin said seriously: "Can you see this jade token? Do you know who gave this jade token? If you want to see it, why don't you go and ask him?"
When the commander heard this, he immediately broke into a cold sweat and fell down on the ground, begging for mercy: "Sir, I was just curious for a moment and said the wrong thing. I don't dare to peek at the things given by the emperor. Half an eye."
Nodding, Huan Yin ignored the commander named Li Li and walked into the city gate with Qing Yi in a swagger.
…
Not long after, Huan Yin had not walked through the long tunnel into the city. The commander named Li Li was no longer at the top of the mountain. Instead, he quickly reached the top of the mountain and was at the top of the mountain by some unknown means. Inside an extremely large and solemn military tent in the sky.
In the military tent, there were five people sitting on both sides, ten people in total. Each of these ten people has an unpredictable level of cultivation, and their official positions are all generals!
The atmosphere in the military tent, which was originally a solemn killing place, became a little heavier due to the presence of these ten generals. It seemed that the people sitting on both sides were not ten people, but ten powerful armies, ten troops with murderous intent.
It can be seen that these ten generals are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and are much stronger than some of the little kings in the Eight Heavens of the East who can only show off.
However, although these ten generals are powerful, they feel vaguely blocked when they sit here. What overshadowed their momentum was not the huge military tent, but the special being sitting at the top of the military tent deep inside.
It was a skeleton with faint ghost fire burning in its eye sockets!
The skeleton just sat casually, dragging his chin with a white bone palm. However, even if it is so casual, it is like a sleeping lion, making the generals below him look like cats and dogs, not worth mentioning.
It is the general marshal responsible for commanding the three armies in the eight days of the West, and its name is "Ku"!
At this moment, Li Li was naturally kneeling in the tent. As a small commander, if he hadn't met a special person today, how would he be qualified to step into the marshal's military tent?
Li Li had long been overwhelmed by the coercion from all directions, especially the bones of the Generalissimo sitting at the top, which made his hair stand on end and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Just before Li Li was about to lose his support, a general sitting at the top on the left stood up. After bowing to the skeleton, he pointed at Li Li and asked, "Your name is Li Li, right? You said you were here today?" Have you seen the parade envoy?"
When Li Li heard someone asking the question, he immediately felt that most of his pressure was relieved. He raised his head and saw that the person asking the question was not a skeleton. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly replied to the general: "My lord, this matter is absolutely true. The lord held a black jade plaque and directly revealed his identity to accept it. This is how the villain found out his identity through city gate inspection."
"Did you reveal your identity directly?" The general touched his chin, looked at the skeleton, and then said, "Then can you see the words engraved on the black jade plate?"
Li Li shook his head and said: "The adult refused to show it to the villain. The villain did not dare to overstep his bounds, so we had to let him enter the city."
When Li Li's words came to this point, the skeleton's eyes flashed fiercely, and then he turned his neck and turned his head away.
Seeing this scene, the general nodded, threw a storage bag in front of Li Li, and said: "You did a good job, this is your reward. Next time, you must be so clever, Marshal My lord will not treat you badly, just go down!"
Li Li took the storage bag and quickly exited the military tent.
