Although there were a lot of people crowded near the city gate, and large objects such as carriages and sedan chairs were squeezed into the queue and it was difficult to move at all, a single person could still squeeze forward.
The boy struggled to squeeze forward in the crowded crowd, and after a lot of effort he squeezed out of the city gate. The surroundings were no longer as crowded as before.
"Let's go, why don't you go? If you don't want to go, get out of the way and don't get stuck here." The boy looked at the crowd blocking the front and scolded, and he also walked forward.
In the long motorcade in front of them, seven or eight large carriages belonged to their masters, and only a few carriages belonged to wealthy families in the city.
After walking forward for a while, I finally saw the situation ahead.
He saw a group of soldiers blocking the way of the convoy. Coincidentally, he knew the person blocking the way. He was a soldier from the Fubiao Battalion.
Although I am not familiar with him, I have met him a few times since we were both in Yangqu.
At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
The people blocking the way are people from Fubiao Camp, so there is nothing to worry about. His master is a high-ranking official of the Provincial Government Envoy Si Yamen, and the leader of Fubiao Camp is just a guerrilla. When he sees his master, he still has to accompany him. Laugh and fawn.
He is just a boy, and he is also a boy in the house of Mr. Si Yamen, the official envoy of the Provincial Government. He is no worse than those Qiu Ba in Fubiao Camp.
When he came to the front of the team, he first glanced at a man on horseback blocking the way, and said: "Get out of the way quickly, don't you know that the chief envoy Si Yamen's master is behind you? I have offended the eldest master, you guys Is the minimum a person can bear sin?"
In his mind, he regarded these people in front of him as soldiers and horses of Fubiao Camp.
Facing the soldiers and horses of the Fubiao camp, as a boy beside the official, he still felt confident.
He didn't believe that the people in Fubiao Camp in front of him dared to offend the chief envoy Si Yamen.
"It seems that I caught it right. I didn't expect to catch a big fish." Zhao Wugu smiled when he heard what the boy said.
When he stopped the convoy, he thought about whether there would be a high-ranking official from Yangqu in the convoy. Unexpectedly, he actually stopped a high-ranking official.
Lu Liang grinned on the side.
"What's going on with you, didn't you hear? You offended my master, be careful if my master lets your Yan Guerrilla punish you for your offence." The boy threatened in a stern voice.
The largest officer in Fubiao camp was a guerrilla general. With so many people in front of him, he thought they should be the subordinates of that guerrilla general.
Lu Liang turned his head and looked behind him, and said to one of them: "This Yan Guoqi, do you want to let them go?"
"I don't dare, I will obey the general in everything." said the guerrilla from the Fubiao camp on horseback.
Lu Liang chuckled lightly, withdrew his gaze, and turned to the young man in front of him and said, "The guerrilla general you mentioned has said that he won't let you go, otherwise let the senior official from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen come and tell you in person. ?”
By this time, the boy had already realized something was wrong.
More than two hundred cavalrymen with tiger flags came from behind.
Although they did not ride horses, everyone was wearing the armor of the tiger-shaped cavalry.
"Take down all the people in this convoy." Zhao Wugu waved his big hand forward.
A team of more than 200 people moved forward from both sides of the motorcade outside the city gate.
"What are you doing? Who are you?" Realizing that something was wrong, the boy stepped back and looked around, trying to escape.
Lu Liang grinned and said: "It's hard to guess. We are people from the Tiger Flag, here to seize the city. The one behind is the Yan Guerrilla you just mentioned."
As he spoke, he pointed towards the Fubiao camp behind him.
The boy was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
The crowd at the city gate was also in chaos at this time.
When they learned that the people who intercepted the convoy were legendary bandits, the crowd dispersed in confusion.
However, a team of more than two hundred people had blocked any possibility of the crowd escaping, and everyone was blocked back, making many people want to escape back into the city.
The area around the city gate suddenly became even more crowded.
The more than two hundred people holding the tiger-shaped flag were not polite and drove all the crowds at the city gate to the open space not far from the city gate. Even the carriages with the convoy were taken to a place for custody.
"Master, don't leave!" Lu Liang rode up to the city gate, looked at the man who got off the sedan, and raised the musket in his hand.
"No, no, I'm familiar with you, General Liu. Please don't do anything." The man who wanted to escape stayed beside the sedan with an ugly expression on his face.
Lu Liang took a look at the other person and said with a smile: "You still know our general. You must have heard of our general's name. You must be familiar with him!"
"No, no, no, I didn't lie. I really know General Liu. I met General Liu twice in Datong and had a great conversation with him." The other party said with an ugly face.
"You must be Liao Wenguang!"
As the voice fell, Zhao Wugu caught up from behind on horseback.
"Yes, yes, yes, I am Liao Wenguang. I didn't expect this general to have heard of my name." Liao Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that someone recognized him.
Lu Liang turned around, looked at Zhao Wugu and asked, "Captain, do you know this guy?"
"I don't know him, but I have heard that he is the man who came to Datong twice to discuss recruitment with our general." Zhao Wugu introduced to Lu Liang.
"Zhending Mansion is the closest to Yangqu. I'm afraid it will take a few more days to arrive. Could it be that I can't hold on even for these few days?" Pan Xiguang asked in a bad tone.
Mr. Jie Shigong shook his head and said: "There is no shortage of sharp artillery in the bandit army. The city wall at Tianmen Pass cannot last for two days. I am afraid that the city wall here in Yangqu will be destroyed by artillery in less than a day."
"How could a group of thieves get so many cannons?" Pan Xiguang said bitterly.
He knew that artillery was extremely useful in sieges.
"Fujun, please make plans early." Mr. Jie Shigong looked at Pan Xiguang.
"If you people were not useless and faced with repeated defeats, how could the thieves come to Yangqu with unstoppable momentum." Pan Xiguang glanced sideways at Xie Shigong and others.
He was very disappointed that these generals could not even defeat a group of thieves.
Mr. Jie Shigong and the lieutenant beside him lowered their heads and allowed themselves to be scolded by each other.
Having lost the battle, I have no confidence to refute.
"Send me back." Pan Xiguang didn't want to see Mr. Jie Shigong and his group of people returning in defeat, so he left the city head accompanied by Chang Sui.
The sedan chair has been waiting at the foot of the city.
He walked down the city wall from the horse path and got into the sedan chair with the attendants waiting on him.
"Go back to the Governor's Yamen." Changsui ordered the bearer of the sedan chair.
Several bearers lifted the sedan, turned it in one direction, and carried it toward the city.
At this time, Pan Xiguang opened the curtain of the window on one side and said to the long attendant who was following him: "You go to the Yamen of the Provincial Envoy. No, go and find Mr. Zhu first."
"Yes." Changsui agreed outside the sedan chair.
When the sedan was about to arrive at the governor's Yamen, the chief attendant left the sedan and went to a nearby alley.
