Xu Tianlang took his 280 cavalrymen to Quyang County day and night. Four days later, he finally arrived outside the county gate at 2 noon.

Xu Tianlang saw from afar that the county gate was closed, and only a small gate was opened, with seven or eight soldiers guarding outside the city gate. There were many people entrenched under the walls on both sides, including old and young, as if they were blocked outside the city.

Some northern refugees.

Some shacks were built not far from the city gate and a little far away at the foot of the city wall, and many people lived in it. It seems that many refugees who came from exile from the Northern Territory were blocked, and some were wearing tattered clothes.

The soldiers' clothing should be the soldiers who escaped from the lost Northern Region city.

Xu Tianlang turned around and said to Niu Jiujin, "I will take two entourages to the city gate to find out the situation. You will take your brothers to settle outside the city and touch the situation of these people outside the city. I see this

There should be many soldiers who escaped from the north. It is the time to hire people. You can recruit some soldiers outside the city, and you are the best at riding and shooting."

Niu Jiujin nodded and asked a team of people to go with him to find out the situation around the city. Tianlang then called two soldiers to ride horses with him to the front of the county gate.

Several soldiers guarding the city gate lazily leaned against the city gate hole, taking a nap or chatting in groups. Seeing Tianlang and three others riding horses, a soldier stepped forward to stop him in a sluggish step.

Lang and several others got out and spoke immediately.

The soldier raised the spear in his hand and said to Tianlang and others: "You haven't seen this place be on guard, so the idle people can't wait."

Chen Jinwu, a cavalryman who was following Tianlang, immediately stepped forward and replied loudly, "What a vague person? You think about it. We are the military masters. This is General Xu, the deputy general of the cavalry battalion. Today, he was ordered to come to Quyang County to take action. You

Hurry up and inform us and let us enter the city without any mistakes.”

The soldier then looked at the few people. He saw that the few people were indeed soldiers, so he didn't dare to do it again. He looked back at the other soldiers, feeling a little at a loss.

At this time, a non-commissioned officer walked out of the small gate of the city gate and walked over to this side, asking, "What's the matter? Who's busy here?"

The soldier seemed to have seen the savior and hurried forward to report: "Sir, there are a few soldiers who want to enter the city and say that they are ordered to take over the defense."

The non-commissioned officer pulled Fang Bu and shook it in front of Tianlang and the others. After looking up and down, he saw that Tianlang was still a naughty person, and he disagreed. He waved his hand and said, "Go, go, don't mess around here."

, You defeated soldiers in the Northern Territory, and many deserters want to enter the pass from here. Now, it is in the process of war, and no one can enter the city unless there is a handwritten order from above."

Chen Jinwu stepped forward and responded: "In order to hurry, we arrived without getting the letter of appointment and handwritten instructions. The court's appointment documents will be delivered later. Please provide convenience for access by mercy."

After hearing this, the non-commissioned officer shook his head and thought to himself, these stupid and incompetent people didn't understand the situation here, that is, if there is no money, don't think about entering the city. "Military matters, I dare not relax a little. If you are

If there is no clearance document, please take a detour and don’t ask for trouble here.”

At this time, another group of people came, with about a dozen riding horses and a carriage, driving from a distance towards the city gate, looking like they were planning to enter the city.

The non-commissioned officer was no longer interested in Tianlang and others at this time, and he fell in love with the group of people in front of him, so he immediately left Tianlang and others and walked towards the direction of the horse team, waving his hand.

Let the soldiers block the future.

Tianlang also turned around and looked at the group of people and horses. He saw a dozen riders riding in front and behind, with a carriage in the middle, moving in an orderly manner.

Look at these more than a dozen riders riding horses, all of them are burly, strong and uniformly dressed. They are all wearing black robes, green trousers, leggings, and wristbands.

There was a long sword around his waist. From the actions and behaviors of these people, Tianlang saw that the people were all skilled in martial arts.

After the horse team was blocked, a middle-aged man came down from a big horse in front of the team. He was about fifty years old, of medium figure, but strong, and Kong Wu was strong. He walked a few steps to the city guarding soldiers.

He bowed to a chief and said, "Lu Dingshan, the chief escort leader of the Longsheng Escort Agency in Xiayoujing, I will go to the capital city now. I will pass by the land. The customs clearance documents are here. Please check it out. I hope it will be convenient for you to pass it.

.”

"Escort? What kind of escorts? Now when the two countries are fighting, are there anyone asking you to escorts?" The city guards were a little disapproving. He looked around the team and said, "Because it is escorts, why are you?

There is no slap slap slap? Where is the slap escort?"

The middle-aged man replied: "This time the escort was requested by the employer, for secret escorts, and no flag was raised. As for the goods held in the car, the goods were sealed by the official and the inspection was not allowed. The goods were cleared in full,

Please check it out by the adults.” After saying that, he handed the Chinese book on his hand and handed it to the non-commissioned officer for review with great respect.

The non-commissioned officer glanced at the document handed over, but did not take it, but walked sideways around the middle-aged man and walked towards the carriage.

When he arrived in front of the car, the non-commissioned officer lifted the curtain in front of the carriage and looked in. Sure enough, he saw a nanmu box two feet long, more than one foot wide, and more than half a foot thick. He was placed under the seat, covered with each other.

Type seal.

The non-commissioned officer was about to raise his foot to get on the carriage and saw what was going on, but the middle-aged man followed and gently leaned against the carriage with his body. The carriage immediately slid backwards and took the two horses in front of him.

He also took a few steps back.

The non-commissioned officer stepped on the air and almost fell. The middle-aged man immediately reached out to support him, "Be careful, if you want to inspect it, the younger one will take it out." As he said that, he stretched out one

He pressed the front end of the car body down. When he pressed, even the two horses pulling the cart in front could not bear it. They all knelt down. The carriage was tilted forward, and the box inside the car was also from the car.

Slide out.

The middle-aged man caught the box with his hands and said to the non-commissioned officer: "Please check it out for the official." The non-commissioned officer looked at the box, and it was indeed a seal from the Ministry of Revenue on it. After the non-commissioned officer saw it clearly, the man raised his hand and waved it again.

He sent the box back into the car, then reached out and lifted it up, lifted the front of the car and the two horses, and restored it to its original state.

After seeing the middle-aged man's methods just now, the non-commissioned officer was already afraid and dared not do it again. He smiled and nodded, retreated, and stood in front of the city gate before saying, "Now it is the battle between the two countries."

During the period, any trade and personnel exchanges must obey the management of the defense army. Your escort agency is for the escorts of the current dynasty, but according to the amount and quantity of the goods held, two people are allowed to enter the city, and the rest are not allowed to enter the city. Please

Choose another way.”

When Lu Biaotou heard him say this, he was a little anxious and stepped forward and said, "We are the escort escort staff arranged by the employer. The other party asked that the escort escort personnel should not be less than sixteen first-class escort officers, and the general escort

The head led the team himself, and we also made the minimum configuration according to this requirement. If the escort escort personnel cannot all walk with the escorts, they are afraid of any mistakes in the future, our escort agency will be blamed. Please let them go!"

On this side, Chen Jinwu had already found out with the soldiers guarding the city. If you want to enter the city, you can donate 300 cents per head. It is said that you are paying city tax prevention, but in fact it is just taking the opportunity to exploit it.

Tianlang came to the non-commissioned officer and asked, "Didn't it mean that Qifan has withdrawn his troops? The two countries have signed a ceasefire agreement. Don't you know?"

"Well, that..." the non-commissioned officer stammered and said, "Although the Central Plains region has ceased to fight, Qifan will attack the western region recently, so we are still a war-ready area and we must not relax."

After hearing the words, Tianlang laughed and said, "Your news is a bit wise, but you don't know that the court has sent the governor of Pingxi to take over the defense? It's really funny, but you can enter the city as long as you pay the money.

, right."

The non-commissioned officer turned his head to the side without comment and looked at Lu Biao's head, meaning, you heard it.

Tianlang took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to the non-commissioned officer, saying, "This is easy to say, I have more money. Do you think this is feasible?"

The non-commissioned officer took the silver note and saw that it was a silver note with a hundred taels of silver. He was shocked. Unexpectedly, the boy in front of him was still a rich man. He smiled at Tianlang in embarrassment and said, "This person is a man."

Official, the head fee for entering the city is only 300 cents per person. Wouldn’t it be difficult for us to give such a large bill?"

"No need to be wary of it. Let's forget about the three of me and the dozens of people from the escort. Please help me keep the rest first. I will have hundreds of people going to the city later.

"Tianlang said with a smile, and walked to Lu Biaotou.

"General Lu's escort, Xu Tianlang, I am lucky to meet Mr. Lu here today. I have a fate with the world. I want to invite your escort team to enter the city together. I have paid the head fee for you to enter the city. I also asked General Lu's escort to ask General Lu's escort to join you.

Walking with you with your face," Tianlang said with his fist to Lu.

"You are kind, you are kind. I don't want to give you money by passing by, but I just don't want to be too cheap for these soldiers who make money from the national crisis. Mr. Xu is so generous, and he admires him very much. He is just a little guilty of being invited for nothing."

The escort named Lu immediately clasped his fists and said politely.

Tianlang smiled heartily and said, "Brother Lu, don't be polite. Don't delay your important matters because of small matters. Let's go to the city with me."

Seeing that the escort named Lu refused, he immediately called his group and followed Tianlang and others into the city.
