"Your young master?"
After hearing this, the two city gate soldiers finally put down their arrogant heads and took a closer look at Xiaodong and his team.
There was no gong to clear the way, no avoidance, no signs of silence. Although there were many guards accompanying them and they looked quite majestic, none of them were holding iron chains and golden melons. This meant that they were unlikely to be officials. Since they were not officials, I Afraid of him?
"Show it to me when you pass by!" With a straight face again, the slightly thinner city gate soldier stretched out his hand carelessly and waved it in the air three times. Judging from the posture, how could he have anything to do with the officers and soldiers? He looks like a rogue.
"Excuse me?" Xiaodong was stunned when he heard that the city gate soldiers were asking for something, and then he immediately felt very angry!
The faults mentioned by the city gate soldiers were actually proof of identity for future generations and the predecessor of the famous Lu Yin.
This thing was handed down from the Han Dynasty and was used in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, this set of laws was also inherited to prove the identity of the bearer.
However, the things recorded on the current record are too complicated. Not only the identity, origin, and appearance of the carrier are recorded on it, but also the things he brought, including salutes, horses, and goods. And every time you pass a place, you have to change the writing.
It is precisely because of frequent changes that this "passing place" is not favored by local officials. Except when passing through the border and big cities, it will be mandatory to need it. Normally walking around in the Tang Dynasty, it is not used at all. ! How could they carry it through with nothing?
"Who stipulates that you have to go through police inspection when entering the city?" At this time, Lunzi saw Xiaodong almost quarreled with the man, and ran over, angrily helping.
"Who? My county master!" Perhaps he had already guessed that these people could not be punished. The city gate soldier retracted his hands and continued to hold his chest with his nostrils raised to the sky. He looked like he was in need of a beating. That is, Liu Hongji fell into the trap. The last leader of the team, had it not been for Old Liu's character, he would have had a close contact with this man's face with his fist!
"What if we have to enter the city?" Xiaodong was really angry at the city gate soldiers. He looked back at the convoy that stopped one after another, took a step forward, and said angrily in a stiff tone. Speaking of which, he had followed Xiao Han to so many places, and this was the first time that two mere gatekeepers had given him such a hard time. How could he not be annoyed?
"Do you have to enter the city?" When the two city gate soldiers heard this, they looked at each other, and then laughed: "Do you want to break through? The county magistrate has already given instructions. Recently, a group of pirates have been running around. Let us pay close attention! I see that you are acting suspiciously, and you can’t find any fault with it. Maybe it’s this group of pirates!”
"What, we are pirates?!" The idiot almost turned his nose in anger at this sentence. At this time, even he could see that the two bastards in front of him were clearly making trouble!
Not to mention which pirates would enter the city so grandly, just look at their clothes, the horses and carts in their team are definitely not what those poor pirates can afford!
"Are you trying to find trouble!"
"Ahem..."
Seeing that General Hengha was furious and rolled up his sleeves, he was ready to step forward and teach these two haters what it meant to look down upon others! Behind, Yang Kai took Xiao Han's orders, coughed lightly, and ran over quickly.
"Two military masters, I'm sorry! We are kind-hearted people who are planning to go to Jiangnan to visit relatives. Because we left in a hurry, we forgot to bring anything to go to the place! Come on, come on, this little money can be used to treat the brothers to drinks. Sir, please be accommodating!"
Arriving in front of the two city gate soldiers, Yang Kailuo's plump face suddenly smiled brightly. He saluted and bowed, and after a familiar gesture with his palms, he stuffed a handful of coppers into the hands of the city gate soldiers.
"Accommodating and accommodating?" The city gate soldier secretly weighed the copper coins in his hands. A proud smile finally appeared on his face like a profiteer. He tried to weigh it. At least, he had to have seventy or eighty coins. He went to see the kiln sister tonight. The money is finally settled.
"If I had said that earlier, wouldn't it have been better?" He muttered lowly, and before Yang Kai could nod his head in agreement, the man took another look at the team. Although seventy or eighty big men were quite a lot, today After all, he is blocking the door and being reasonable. These people seem to be so rich and they only give so much. Are they sending beggars away?
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong in my mind. Finally, the city gate soldier turned his hand over and sneered: "I see you are also a reasonable person, but to be accommodating is to be accommodating. This city entry fee is absolutely necessary!"
"What? You want to pay the city fee? You are so damn greedy! Otherwise, if the Marquis doesn't want to cause trouble, I will skin you alive!"
Seeing the appearance of the city gate soldiers, the smile on Yang Kailuo's face froze for a moment, but he soon restored his smile. After nodding his head, he followed the man's instructions and paid a fee to enter the city. The two of them then He happily got out of the way.
What a joke, otherwise only a fool would do this thankless job for the sake of profit! I met such a bully today and made enough money to keep the two of them happy for a few days!
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Han and his party finally slowly entered the city.
After entering the city, Xiaodong got the order and ran quickly to find an inn.
He originally thought about how many guest rooms he would need, but he didn't expect that the inn in this county was really too small. It only had six or seven rooms, so it would not be easy to accommodate all of them. Let alone the guest house. .
"Guest, the little old man's inn is the cleanest, neatest, cheapest, and the only one within dozens of miles!"
Xiaodong took Xiaodong to look around the inn room. The shopkeeper who looked like a withered old man actually looked a little proud. He didn't know what he was proud of in such a shabby inn.
"Okay, let's book it here!" I have no intention of attacking the old man. After all, it's better to have a house to live in than to live on the street. Besides, the weather this year is extremely cold! Living in a tent outside, I would often be woken up by the freezing cold in the middle of the night.
"Okay! I wonder if your guest would like some food or wine? My food is the best in this area, and my wine is made by myself. There will be absolutely no alcohol mixed with it... ahem, no water!"
Looking at the innkeeper who accidentally told the truth, Xiaodong shook his head decisively: "No need for wine, let's make some dishes and make a pot of soup! Go and get rid of the cold!"
"Okay, why don't you try some of that wine?" The little old man still refused to give up and tried to sell it, but Xiaodong had already dropped a handful of money and ran out to pick up Xiao Han and the others.
