Standing on the hillside, Shuangyan put up a curtain and looked down the mountain from a distance, vaguely seeing a medium-sized city.
Immediately, he happily shouted in a certain direction behind him: "Envoy! Hezhou is here!"
Originally, after Ye Sanlang rescued him in Yangzhou, he followed Ye Sanlang wholeheartedly. He began to want to call Ye Sanlang master. After all, Prince Qing's brainwashing education was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but Ye Sanlang refused to agree even to death, so he had to fight with the others. Likewise, call him the envoy.
Soon, two figures riding horses slowly appeared on the forest path. Both of them looked extremely simple, but they exuded an aura that was different from ordinary people. It was Ye Sanlang and his wife who had just left Yangzhou some time ago. Originally, according to the plan, the trip from Yangzhou to Yizhou could be reached directly by water without transit. However, considering the enthusiasm of the people in Yangzhou and avoiding unnecessary trouble, they decided to take the land route to the nearby city and state first, and then take a boat directly to Yizhou via the waterway.
After several days of long journey, the three of them were indeed a little tired. The accommodation conditions in the wild were poor, which was really inappropriate for a woman like Li Sihan. Fortunately, Hezhou was not very far away. After passing through a small plain and forest, The city appeared in the eyes of the three people.
"Huh, we finally arrived in Hezhou." Li Sihan sighed softly. She looked exhausted at this moment. It seemed that the two days and two nights of traveling in the wilderness was really not suitable for a girl like her.
"It's all you who insists on taking a land route." She glared at Ye Sanlang and said angrily.
"Cough, cough." Ye Sanlang laughed a few times and said with a wry smile: "Since we are all here, stop complaining and let's go." After saying that, he crossed his legs and ran out on the horse.
Shuang Yan and Li Sihan looked at each other, shook their heads, and followed closely.
Not far away, a medium-sized city next to the Yangtze River appeared in front of the three of them. It was getting closer and closer, and the word "Hezhou" on the city gate could be seen from a distance.
When they came to the city gate, they saw two Tang soldiers squatting in front of the city gate, one on the left and the other on the right, watching the people coming in and out listlessly. Compared with the heavily guarded city gate in Yangzhou, this was simply miserable.
Ye Sanlang frowned, how could such a city gate guard resist those bloodthirsty horse bandits? He took a few steps forward on his horse and ordered to the two of them: "Which team is on duty today?!"
The two men were startled by this order. When they looked up, they saw a young man riding a horse. An expression of dissatisfaction appeared on his face. Although pedestrians on horseback were difficult to encounter, this young man was dressed in ordinary clothes and was obviously an ordinary man. people.
The thinner Tang Jun stood up and said angrily: "Who are you? Where is our team and what does it have to do with you?!"
The other man became more courageous when he saw that Ye Sanlang and the others were dressed in ordinary clothes and did not look like wealthy people. His eyes towards Li Sihan gradually became obscene.
"Where did you come from? What are you doing in my state? Whose name is it? If you can't tell... Hehe..." He showed a lewd smile, "This woman has to stay with my brothers. , otherwise what can I use to make amends to my brothers?"
"Okay, what an apology." Ye Sanlang sneered. Shuang Yan, who was beside him, noticed that his eyes showed murderous intent and shook his head, thinking that these two idiots were going to be unlucky.
"Longquan." Ye Sanlang whispered, and then his right hand flashed with green light, and the powerful Longquan Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
The two men immediately took a few steps back when they saw this situation. Of course they understood what it meant, and both of them broke into cold sweats when they thought of the various offensive actions just now.
"You, you know the consequences if you dare to attack the Tang army!" they roared.
"Really?" He sneered, "But it's a pity, you are not considered Tang Jun."
He waved the hand holding Longquan, and a sword energy came out of the air. A blood line appeared on the slightly fat Tang Jun's neck, which randomly expanded into a circle of blood lines, and then the ugly head "Gulu" "Lu" fell to the ground. When the people around him saw this scene, they immediately screamed and fled in all directions.
"Go and call your team," he shouted.
The thinner Tang Jun was already so frightened that his legs were shaking. After hearing what he said, he immediately turned around and ran towards the city, running faster than a rabbit. Li Sihan frowned. In her impression, Ye Sanlang would not kill easily. Could it be that... was it because the other party insulted her? A flash of bright red appeared on her face.
"Hmph." Shuang Yan noticed that several pairs of archers began to arrive on the city wall, and they raised their bows and arrows and aimed at them.
Not long after, with the sound of armor shaking as gold and iron clashed, several groups of heavily armed Tang troops ran over, pointing their bright spears at the three men on horseback.
A middle-aged man who looked like the leader of the team yawned and walked out from among them. The slightly thinner Tang Jun just now was standing next to him.
"Captain, this is the guy who killed Yang San and wanted to see you by name."
The team looked at them and then laughed loudly and said: "Skinny Monkey, are you scared out of your wits? With these three young boys, how dare you wake us up? Brothers are all tired. Still waiting."
Ye Sanlang stared at the team leader, and the coldness in his eyes made him shiver suddenly.
"Are you the captain of Hezhounan City Gate?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you?!" He looked at Ye Sanlang and saw that he was wearing ordinary clothes, and his heart that had been hanging before suddenly dropped.
"I am the Censor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhongcheng, Ye Sanlang." He said calmly.
There was silence. After he revealed his name, Tang Jun, who had been noisy before, suddenly fell into silence. The supervisory censor Ye Sanlang, because he was very close to Yangzhou, everyone present heard no less than five versions of the legend about him in the past two days. No matter which version it is, they all know that Ye Sanlang's skills are definitely not comparable to ordinary people like them, and he has won the hearts of the people in Jiangnan Road, and the people love them. However, their news had not spread so quickly, and they had not yet learned about his promotion to Yushi Zhongcheng. Therefore, after he reported his name as Yushi Zhongcheng, no one reacted.
After the team was stunned for a moment, his tone suddenly changed. Although a supervisory censor was of low rank, it was definitely not something that his small team could afford to offend.
"It turns out it's Yu Shi Ye. Sorry, disrespectful." He turned around and turned his gaze to the guy called "Skinny Monkey" with a fierce look in his eyes.
"I think Yang San must have offended Ye Yushi. This guy is usually very annoying. He is eating our salary from the Tang Dynasty and not doing real work. He is really unjust. This thin monkey dares to falsely accuse you of breaking into the city gate and killing the Tang army guarding it. ...Come here! Drag me out and chop him down! Let Yushi Ye be calmed down!"
After saying this, two Tang soldiers wearing Mingguang armor immediately stepped forward and held the thin monkey on his left and right, and were about to take it off outside the city gate. He was so frightened that he let out bursts of screams.
"Chen! I know how many shameful things you have done! You actually dare to kill me! Ye Sanlang! He is also a corrupt official! If you have the ability, kill him too!" Seeing that the team was about to kill him to silence him, The thin monkey hurriedly shouted heartbreakingly.
"Wait a minute, I'm quite interested in what he just said." Ye Sanlang raised his left hand to stop the two men.
Seeing that the situation had changed, the captain surnamed Chen broke out in cold sweat on his palms. After calculating the number of men present, he tightened his grip on the handle of the knife in his hand.
