In the morning, Zhu Yu and others were awakened by the chirping of birds. Yesterday, after fighting with Labu Tsering and riding a long distance, he felt very tired and naturally slept very soundly.
Zhu Yu walked out of the tent, stretched out, and looked around. He saw a gentle slope all around. The slope was covered with various weeds. There were one or two wild flowers among the weeds. In the distance, there were It's a dark forest, and the chirping of birds comes from the forest.
Just when Zhu Yu was looking at the surrounding scenery attentively, Lan Tian and the others had also walked out of the tent.
While Lan Tian packed up the tent with Zhao Li and Luo Lin, Lan Ling'er also folded the small tent he lived in and stuffed it into a big bag on the horse's back.
Sansou slept on a big tree nearby last night. Master Wufeng arranged for Master Wusi to stay on duty at night. He sat down all night on a big tree closest to Lantian and the others. Because the situation had been crisis for a long time, in order to prevent being caught. Sneak attack, Calm Wind asks everyone to be careful.
The eight people spent the night at dawn and headed north. On the fifth day of their trip, when they crossed the main road, they found that the road under their feet suddenly became much wider, and there were gradually more pedestrians, cars and horses. Zhu Yu I found that there were also large sedans carried by two, four or even eight people on the avenue.
"This is an official sedan. There is a word "official" directly above the sedan. If an ordinary robber sees a sedan like this, he will never dare to rob him. If he robs an official, the government will send troops to chase him. The days of the strongman are over. ." Lan Tian went out with his parents many times and was considered a well-informed person in Tianlong Mountain. He saw Zhu Yu staring at the large sedan carried by eight people and said.
After Lan Tian and others went to the official road, they saw no one behind them. Lan Tian put on brand new silk clothes. Lan Ling'er also dressed up carefully, put some of the luggage on Zhu Yu's horses and put them on Zhu Yu's horses. They were accompanied by young ladies from a wealthy family, and Zhu Yu and the other three were still wearing the simple clothes they wore when going out, pretending to be Lan Tian and Lan Ling'er's servants, and leading the horses. Of course, all this was planned before going out. .
Wu Feng, Wu Xin and Wu Si were walking behind the five people. They were about ten feet away from the five people. They were carrying bulging luggage. They looked like old farmers walking together, but they were not conspicuous.
The eight people walked on Daguan Road for more than two hours and found that there were more and more people on the road, just like water from a small river flowing into a big river.
"Look! The officers and soldiers are coming." Lan Ling'er rode in front with a wide view. From a distance, he saw a group of officers and soldiers approaching. Zhu Yu, Zhao Li and Luo Lin looked towards the end of the official road and saw a group of officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers came along the road. The two leaders rode tall horses and walked majestically in front. Behind them were more than a hundred soldiers, riding fast horses, carrying a scimitar and a sword on their backs. On the side, there is a long gun hanging.
Obviously, this group of officers and soldiers is the imperial city guard. It seems that the capital is not far away.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, Zhu Yu discovered that the two men immediately were Wu Qian, the commander of the Dongchang capital, and Zhang Han, the deputy commander of the capital, who had gone to Shaolin Temple to capture him before.
Zhu Yu was afraid of being recognized by the two men, so he quietly walked around from behind the horse to the side of the road, and continued to lead the horse forward, hoping that the horse could block his face.
Wu Qian and Zhang Han rode past the five people with their heads raised, without even looking at them. Zhu Yu couldn't help but let out a long breath, but when the soldiers finished, they heard someone shouting behind them. Said: "What do you three do?"
Hearing the scolding, Zhu Yu turned around and looked back, and found that Zhang Han, who had already walked close, rode back for some reason and questioned Wu Feng, Wu Xin and Wu Si.
"This military master, the three of us are villagers visiting relatives in the city." Master Wufeng took off his straw hat and looked at Zhang Han with a smile.
"Villers? Why do villagers carry swords?" Zhang Han said with a sly smile.
Hearing what Zhang Han said, Master Wuxin came to his senses. He used to bring a machete with him when he went out, because it was often used to scare wild beasts and cut through thorns. At this moment, the knife was carried in a gray cloth bag on his body. Unfortunately, Saw by an officer.
"Oh, Master Jun, it's like this. I do have a knife on me. This knife was passed down from my grandfather. My father chopped wood and broke the tip. I chopped wood yesterday and broke the blade. , I had to come to the city to find a blacksmith to patch it up." Wuxin said with a smile.
"Broken knife? Impossible. Bring it to me and see." Hearing this, a soldier stepped forward and reached out to grab the baggage behind Master Wuxin. At this moment, Master Wuxin suddenly released his internal energy onto the blade and secretly broke the knife. For three breaks.
The soldier grabbed the bag and heard the sound of the broken knife clanking in the bag. He came to Zhang Han and opened the bag. As expected, there was a broken knife broken into three pieces.
Zhang Han saw that it was a broken knife, looked at Wuxin, then looked at the broken knife, and thought to himself, he had clearly seen a knife in a cloth bag before, why did it suddenly break? This old man has never touched a knife before! Maybe it's because I'm dazzled.
"You can't even take a broken sword with you. It will be confiscated!" Zhang Han yelled, his power unabated.
After Zhang Han finished speaking, he turned around and said to Wu Qian: "Commander Wu, let's go!"
Wu Qian looked at Master Wuxin, then at Wufeng and Wusi. He felt that something was wrong with these three people, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He muttered: "Well, let's go, let's continue patrolling."
Seeing the officers and soldiers leaving, Sansou immediately got up and hurried off, and soon caught up with Lan Tian and others. In order not to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, the five people did not stop when Wu Qian and Zhang Han checked Sansou, but accelerated. The speed keeps going forward.
"Let's leave quickly. I saw that the other officer looked at us a little strangely. Maybe he saw some clues and suspected that we are people who are good at martial arts. If not, we will turn back." Master Wufeng said.
"I asked passers-by that the capital is fifty miles further along the road from here. Let's talk about it after we enter the city." Lan Tian had already taken precautions when the officers and soldiers were searching Sansou. He must get away from them as soon as possible to avoid complications.
Master Wu Feng said to Master Wu Xin and Wu Si, "Let's go!" After saying that, the three of them flew into the trees on the roadside and disappeared in an instant.
"Zhu Yu, the three of you also get on the horse. We will enter the city as quickly as possible." After Lan Tian finished speaking, he hit the horse. The horse raised its front hooves high and neighed, "Da, Da, Da" and ran forward. Zhu Yu and others People and horses followed the blue sky closely.
In less than an hour, five people had already arrived at a huge city gate on horseback. Zhu Yu, Zhao Li and Luo Lin dismounted and led the horses away. Lan Tian and Lan Ling'er were still sitting on the horses. The five people came slowly. Go to the city gate.
The city wall on the city gate is about five feet high. The city wall extends in an arc to both ends, linking the other three city gates, forming an arch guard of the capital. It may be easier to defend. The city gate is not as wide as imagined, and it is not high. It is two feet long and just over ten feet wide. On the city gate, there are two big characters "Yanjing" written on it. Between the upper edge of the city gate and the edge of the parapet of the city wall, there is a slightly smaller "南" written on it. The words indicate that this is the south gate of the capital.
The interrogation by the soldiers at the gate was not strict, and Lan Tian and the others entered the city smoothly. In sharp contrast to the desolation and desertion outside the city, the city was extremely lively, with citizens coming and going, and vendors setting up stalls and selling goods along the street. There are all kinds of goods. The streets are very wide. The main streets are seven or eight feet wide, and the side streets are also two or three feet wide. There are rows of houses on the streets. The facades along the streets are full of shops, including restaurants, pawn shops, silk and satin shops, blacksmith shops, hotels, etc. Waiting until Zhu Yu was dazzled.
"Hey, Zhu Yu, let's go quickly. Let's find a place to rest where there are few people." Seeing Zhu Yu looking here and there, unable to move forward, Lan Ling'er reminded.
Hearing Lan Ling'er's reminder, Zhu Yu smiled as if she had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly pulled her horse forward to follow Lan Ling'er.
Lan Tian had been to the capital several times and was very familiar with the streets of the capital. He rode in front and led the four of them to turn left and right until they came to a lake. On the lakeside, there were several hotels with good looks. Lan Tian He dismounted and led the horse into the store.
Hearing that someone wanted to stay at the hotel, the owner came out of the main room and saw that the owner was a tall and handsome man with a good appearance. When he saw Lan Tian, he called him "young master" and he seemed to be very familiar with Lan Tian.
The owner called someone to unload the horse's burden, carried it into the side room on the side of the main room, took the horse to the stable in the backyard and settled it down, and let several people identify their rooms.
Along the way today, Zhu Yu walked a lot. In addition, he was not very skilled in riding a horse. The ride was shaky and very strenuous, so he fell asleep as soon as he entered his room.
