Chapter 123 Four spies and guards fought
Chapter 123 Four spies and guards fought
At this time, Luo Xi and his companions had already met up with Qinglong and his companions. They rode on horses and followed Captain Zhou into Fengchuan County.
After walking in Fengchuan County for a few days, Luo Xi felt that although it was poor, the people there lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Although the people here had insufficient rainfall and lived in hardship, they were not like those in Nanyue County, fleeing from famine and in panic. Instead, they went to the fields in groups of three or five, carrying farm tools.
When he saw Luo Xi and his companions passing by on horseback, he would not hide away from them, but would stop and watch curiously.
It seems that Si Jia is a good county magistrate.
After a few more days, a tall city gate finally appeared before their eyes. This city gate was more than twice as tall as the gates of several cities they had passed through before. Standing below and looking up, they felt a strong sense of oppression.
The atmosphere at the entrance was also solemn and quiet. On both sides stood two rows of soldiers in black armor, each holding a spear that shone with a cold light. They were all powerful and expressionless.
In the middle were people queuing up to enter the city. They were all well-behaved and quiet, and even when they spoke, they spoke in low voices.
The border town is indeed very different from other places.
Captain Zhou, who had been followed by Luo Xi and the others all the way, already knew the way and went in to the other side. There was no one queuing there, so it seemed to be a special entrance and exit.
"Madam Luo, what should we do?" Qinglong asked.
"Line up to enter the city." Luo Xi said, taking a step forward and lining up behind the other people.
Seeing this, Jiuxian also followed behind Luo Xi silently. The Azure Dragon and the White Tiger looked at each other, then led their horses to catch up.
This time the inspection was extremely thorough. Not only did the officials check the pass, but they also checked the belongings that people carried with them. The process was very slow.
After standing for more than an hour, it was finally their turn. Luo Xi imitated the people before him and handed over their official passes.
The city gate guard checked their official passes one by one, and did not return them to Luo Xi. Instead, he asked with a stern face, "What is the relationship between you four, and what are you doing here?"
Luo Xi: "..."
"Friend, looking for someone!" Luo Xi didn't say a single extra word.
"Sir, they have brought weapons." At this time, the soldier who was checking the items shouted nervously.
Upon hearing this, several soldiers around immediately rushed over with weapons in hand and surrounded Luo Xi and his companions.
The city gate guard who was checking the pass walked over, picked up the swords in the soldier's hand, looked at them again and again, then circled around Luo Xi and the others, and finally said: "Your identities are suspicious, you must be taken back for further investigation before you can let you go."
As he said this, he tried to grab Jiuxian's arm.
As a killer, the most taboo thing is to be touched suddenly by others, especially for a top killer like Jiuxian. Before the other person's hand touches his arm, his long legs will kick out by inertia.
After a "bang" sound.
The guards at the city gate flew out, knocking down several soldiers surrounding them.
"..."
The entire entrance suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the four of them as if they had seen a ghost.
Even the few people who were knocked flying were stunned. They still couldn't believe that someone dared to do this to them with just one kick.
Luo Xi held his forehead and thought, this is bad, I’m afraid this matter will not end well.
Sure enough, the guard who was kicked away by Jiuxian stood up with a livid face: "Come here, capture him for me."
"Wait." Luo Xi thought for a moment, took out the identity token given by Si Jia, and handed it over: "I am a friend of Si Junshou, and I am here to see your general Le Zheng Feiyuan."
But what Luoxi didn't expect was that as soon as she said this, the guard's face immediately turned so black that it seemed as if ink was dripping from it.
"Do you really think I'm a fool? The same trick has been used time and time again. Take them all away, lock them up in the dungeon, and torture them severely. I must find out the purpose of these spies."
Luo Xi: "..."
What do you mean by again and again? Is this referring to them?
"What do you mean? We came here this time to look for Le Zheng Feiyuan. The Chu Zhe with a broken leg that he rescued is my friend. We just exchanged letters a few days ago. If you don't believe me, go ask him. He must know us."
The guard laughed and looked at Luo Xi a few more times: "Great, you even found out so much about the general's newly sworn brother. It seems that you have a big plan this time."
His face turned serious: "Take them all!"
Luo Xi: "..."
I didn't want to resort to violence because they saved Chu Zhe, but now...
Luo Xi raised his leg, aimed, and kicked diagonally with clean and neat movements.
Before the guard on the opposite side could react, he fell to the ground again, still in the posture of a dog eating shit.
This made him so angry that his veins were throbbing. Being kicked away by a man was bad enough, but being kicked away by a delicate young lady... Where was his dignity?
"Everyone listen up, come on."
Suddenly, all the guards at the door surrounded them with weapons in hand. Although the people were pushing and shoving each other, they were also shouting at Luo Xi and the others in indignation.
"Beat, beat to death these damn spies!"
Luo Xi: "..."
What is this thing called?
But now she had no time to explore, so she decided to just fight first.
Once everyone is defeated, this person should know how to communicate properly.
**
General Le Zheng’s Mansion.
Le Zheng Feiyuan was discussing military intelligence with his eldest cousin, Le Zheng Feibo, who was also his deputy general, when a report came from outside: "Report, General, four spies at the South Gate are fighting with the gate guards."
Spy? Le Zhengfeiyuan's handsome and upright face suddenly sank, but he still asked: "What's going on?"
The soldier who came to deliver the message laughed at him and said, "General, these people are really stupid. They are using the same trick as last time and claiming to be the County Magistrate's friend."
"In the entire Fengchuan County, and even in the entire Tianqi, anyone who knows the general knows that you are good friends with the county governor and have repeatedly used such a name to sneak into the city. Do you really think we are fools?"
Le Zheng Feiyuan always felt that something was not right. No matter how stupid the enemy was, it was impossible for them to send two waves of people to sneak in with the same excuse within just a few days.
"What else did they say? Is there any evidence?" he asked.
"This..." The soldier thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it's the identity token of Si Junshou, but didn't the last group of people have it too?"
"However...these four people also mentioned Mr. Chu, saying they were here to look for him."
Chu Zhe, who had just been sitting quietly in a wheelchair, raised his head and asked in surprise: "Is there a woman in her early twenties among them who is tall, beautiful, and good at kung fu?"
The soldier also felt something was wrong: "Yes, yes."
"She was obviously fair and slender, but with so many brothers, none of them could get close to her and were kicked away."
"Feiyuan, that must be Luo Xi, it must be her." Chu Zhe scratched his hair, the joy in his eyes almost overflowed: "Quick, push me to the city gate, she... is not a good-tempered person."
If you go too late and cause too much trouble, it will hurt the harmony, which would be bad.
