"Master Chen, there is a group of robbers outside the city. They are very rampant. They kidnapped a child and are actually clamoring to enter the city!"
After a while, the little leader of the city guard came to the Longxi County Sheriff's Mansion, knocked on the door of the Sheriff, and reported the situation outside the city.
"Robbers? Are you going to the city again? Are the robbers so arrogant now?"
The county guard was really surprised when he heard this. He quickly put his clothes on and opened the door.
"Isn't that right? They were all tall and round, with fierce looks on their faces. They asked us to open the city gate when they arrived! But when they arrived, it was already the city gate of Xushi, so we blocked them outside the city. !”
The little boss said as if asking for credit.
"Yeah! Well done! How many people are there in total?"
The Sheriff asked while adjusting his clothes.
"There are probably two or three thousand, right?"
"Hey! There are quite a few!"
Upon hearing this, the county guard suddenly became interested and grinned.
He has been the county guard here for almost ten years.
If we capture these robbers at this time and report them to the court, we can probably take another step forward and work as an official in Xianyang and leave this place!
Thinking of this, I quickly speed up my movements and put on all the clothes!
"Let's go! Take the people with you and be sure to catch these robbers. When the time comes, I will reward you heavily, haha...!"
The county governor was very excited at the thought of his upcoming promotion.
"okay!"
There will be a reward soon, and the little boss is naturally very happy, and follows behind the county guard.
"Did these robbers bring swords? Or other weapons?"
Since he had to measure how many troops he could bring to successfully capture the robbers, the county guard asked as he walked.
"Um...I didn't see the sword, but each of them had a stick on their backs!"
The little boss thought carefully.
"stick……?"
The county guard felt something was wrong and gradually slowed down his pace, "The robbers don't bring swords, why do they bring sticks?"
"This... my subordinates don't know very well either!"
This question also stopped the little boss, scratching his head in confusion.
Just now he was just quarreling with those people and didn't think much at all!
Looking back now, it’s really weird!
"Maybe their swords are hidden in those stick-like things?"
"That's nonsense, tell me the specific situation quickly!"
"yes……!"
The little leader responded and immediately told everything that happened outside the city.
"Sir, I can guarantee with my head that those guys outside the city are definitely not sent by the imperial court, and the leader is definitely not Marquis Tongwu!"
After finishing speaking, the little boss still raised his hands and swore to prove that he was definitely not in trouble.
"Well! According to the time calculation, the people we sent out at this time have just arrived in Xianyang. It is indeed impossible to be so fast. Moreover, when the prince arrived, no one reported in advance!"
The Sheriff nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it. If the child is really the prince, someone must have reported the news in advance and let us make arrangements! Moreover, even if the court wants to send people to rescue Loulan, it is impossible to send just such a few people! There are so many people on him! How can we fight if we don’t have any decent weapons?”
The little boss quickly listed out all the doubts about the matter, proving that he would never admit his mistake.
"By the way! Didn't you just say that the child gave you an ancestral item and asked you to hand it over to me? Where is the item?"
"Ouch! Look at my memory, I almost forgot...!"
The little leader slapped his forehead fiercely, as if he had realized something, and took out the exquisite little bag from his arms and handed it to the county guard, "Sir, take a look, don't tell me what's inside, just look at this Everyone knows that the tips must be from rich families!"
The county guard ignored him and opened the brocade bag and took out the contents.
It was a pure gold token, and the words engraved on it made his legs weak and he almost fell to the ground!
"You...you just had a quarrel with someone outside the city?"
"Yeah! That's right! Those guys are rude and arrogant as bandits. Although the last general is just a small soldier guarding the city, he also represents the image of our Great Qin. His momentum must not be lost...!"
"Shut up! Let me ask you, did you call the man who calls himself Marquis Tongwu a weakling?"
The little boss wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a sharp shout from the county guard.
"Yes...yes!"
The little boss doesn't know why.
Wasn't it fine just now? Why did he suddenly get angry?
The tempers of these officials are really unpredictable!
"Someone is coming!"
After receiving a positive answer, the county guard called someone angrily.
"The county guard wants to arrest them for meritorious service?"
The little leader's eyes lit up.
"For meritorious service? I will make you a big-headed ghost! You killed this county guard...!"
"Hurry up and tie this kid up, and go with me to the outside of the city to apologize to the prince and Marquis Tongwu!"
"Oh! This is great. Not to mention promotion, I have to decide whether I can keep my position as county guard!"
After giving the order, the county guard hurriedly walked out of the city.
"Huh? Mr. Chen, what is going on? Why are you tying me up? What mistake did I make...?"
The guards in the Sheriff's Mansion moved very quickly, and tied up the little boss in three strokes.
The little boss was immediately stunned. While struggling, he shouted at the back of the governor!
Didn’t you just say that you would reward them? How come this has changed?
But no matter how he shouted, the county guard was indifferent. He took a few guards and trotted out of the city!
…
"Hmph! Just wait and see, you will see something interesting later!"
The sky was getting dark, and torches were lit on the city walls. The guards outside the city were still shouting at the Flying Eagles.
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy city gate was slowly opened, and the guards in the city rushed out first and stood on both sides.
"Haha! How about it? Our people are here, let's see where you robbers are going to run?"
Seeing their own people, several soldiers guarding the city suddenly smiled and felt proud.
Immediately afterwards, an old man who was nearly fifty years old ran towards them hobblingly, out of breath!
"Haha! Our county guards are here, you just wait to go to jail...!"
After the city guard finished speaking, he ran over to help the old man with a flattering face, "Mr. Chen, please slow down! Don't worry, we have archers on the wall, and these robbers don't dare to act rashly!"
"Snapped……"
Even though the old man was extremely tired, he still had a lot of energy in his hands.
He slapped the defender on the head and screamed in pain!
"Ouch!"
"Master Chen, you...what are you doing?"
The sudden slap caught the defenders by surprise.
But the hand supporting the old man didn't dare to let go, so he could only flatten his mouth in grievance!
"What are you doing? I'm going to beat you so hard that you can't even open your eyes!"
Then, there were two more hard slaps.
