This group of soldiers looked majestic. In fact, in Li Yi's opinion, they were not much different from the surrounding citizens. Even the faces of the surrounding citizens did not change much when they saw these soldiers. Some The townspeople even complained because they were blocking the road.
This is almost unimaginable in the Southern District.
You must know that in the Southern District, official soldiers mean absolute authority, and no city citizen dares to speak out to resist.
Even if it is just the city lord's private army, such as the city guards, in the minds of ordinary city residents, they are people who dare not offend, let alone complain in the street.
Perhaps he also realized that his own army seemed to have no dignity in front of outsiders. The captain of this team had a slightly unnatural expression on his face. He deliberately coughed a few times and shouted at the complaining citizen with a straight face. One sentence.
"What's your name? Didn't you see us performing official duties?"
"If you keep making noise here, don't blame me for being rude."
Generally speaking, if the official army says this, ordinary people will not dare to speak. Even if they are reasonable, they will be submissive and dare not speak out, surrendering to the majesty of the powerful violent agency.
But here, Li Yi rarely saw a novel scene.
The person who complained was an old man who looked older. He was carrying a heavy load and was preparing to go to the city. He was obviously planning to start a small business to support his family.
Originally, the Chen family's caravan occupied more than half of the city gate when it entered the city. Now, the Shayue City team inside came towards them again. This almost surrounded the city gate, which was not very big. Naturally, it also made the original The congested city gate became even more congested.
At this time Li Yi also saw it.
There are not many barriers between the residents and soldiers of Shayue City. Although they are not close to each other, they are familiar with each other.
You can tell this by looking at the reaction of the old man carrying the burden when he hears the captain.
When the uncle heard this, he raised his white eyebrows and stared at the captain with wide eyes. After looking up and down, his eyes suddenly brightened.
He seemed to have suddenly discovered a new continent, and he shocked everyone when he opened his mouth.
"Xiao Liuzi, don't you know your seniority even if you don't give me your salary?"
Squad leader:...? ? ?
"Who are you? You dare to talk to me like this? Although the tradition of Shayue City is that soldiers and civilians are one family, don't you take yourself too seriously?"
The team leader, known as Xiao Liuzi, suddenly became angry.
He certainly knows the traditions of Shayue City State, and he also knows very well that in Shayue City State, there is no barrier between the soldiers and the citizens. Most of the time, there are no differences or gaps.
But isn’t it a bit too much for you to call me my childhood nickname?
More importantly, I don’t know you!
However, the next second, the old man who was doing small business put down the burden in his hand and jumped up high.
The next second, he directly grabbed Captain Xiaoliuzi's ear, and before he could react, he directly pulled him off his horse.
This operation made Li Yi freeze on the spot.
Even the guards who originally belonged to Shayue City-State couldn't react for a long time when they saw this scene.
Everyone was confused, and even had an advanced philosophical question about who am I, where am I, and what is this person doing?
Then the next moment the uncle gave everyone present, especially Captain Xiaoliuzi, an irrefutable answer.
"who I am?"
"I am your third uncle and your elder. Shouldn't the younger generation dismount and salute when they see their elders?"
"What happened if I pulled his ears?"
"Even if I beat him up in public, it would still be appropriate. If you don't believe me, just look at it."
Following the words of "third uncle", everyone looked over.
Li Yi took a quick look and didn't see the trick, so he asked Chen Zheng beside him.
"What's on this guy? A tattoo?"
Chen Zheng shook his head.
"No, that's a badge of merit."
Li Yi was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but found that Chen Zheng had already walked out first, and his target was the uncle who was nagging at the little Liuzi captain.
"I'm telling you, kid, don't think that you are a great person just because you are on the job. I think back when your third uncle and I were as old as you, we had to come and go in the wind and rain, crawling out of the dead, unlike you. , just showing off in such a big place every day, makes you look so awesome..."
At first, Captain Xiaoliuzi lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was admitting defeat.
He had already recognized that this was indeed his third uncle.
In Shayue City, respecting elders is a tradition. No matter what your status is, you must be respectful when you meet the elders in the family.
Even the city lord is no exception to this.
In other words, it was the word-of-mouth transmission from successive city lords of Shayue City that led to such a unique tradition.
Not to mention he is just a squad leader, even a captain, the commander-in-chief, or even the city lord is no exception.
Xiao Liuzi just thought he was unlucky.
The captain ordered him to pick up the Chen family caravan, but he did not expect to meet his third uncle, whom he had not seen for a long time.
I have no choice but to endure it.
But the other party didn't seem to be finished. As he talked, he even talked about his own deeds back then. Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but become a little anxious.
If we were to talk about it one by one, it would really be endless!
If asked by someone above, what should I say?
He said that his third uncle was here, why did he curse him in the face?
There is no way to explain this!
Just when Xiao Liuzi was getting impatient and wondering if he was on official duty, the next scene made him even more confused about what to do.
Chen Zheng stepped forward, grabbed the third uncle, and looked at his face carefully for a long time.
Instantly, his eyes turned red.
Chen Zheng's move actually confused the third uncle.
The man in front of him was dressed in rich or noble clothes, and he didn't look like an acquaintance at first glance, but this third uncle, who was holding on to him tightly, and who had been working hard all year round, couldn't break free at all, which made him even more confused. Surprised.
If he hadn't known that this was Shale City and no one could do anything to him, he would almost have thought that this person had some evil intentions towards him.
But looking at the other person's eyes, it doesn't seem like...
It wasn't until Chen Zheng wiped the corners of his eyes and suppressed an excited shout that his third uncle suddenly jumped from reality to a long time ago.
"Captain, it's me!"
"I'm Xiao Zheng!"
The third uncle was startled and began to look at this well-dressed stranger again, looking like a businessman.
At such a look, he was shaken all over, with a look of disbelief on his face. From that very unfamiliar face, gradually, through the sound just now, the third uncle found a familiar outline. Gradually, The silhouette forms a distant, familiar face.
This made the third uncle couldn't help but blurt out.
"Are you Xiao Zheng?"
"Are you really Xiao Zheng?"
Chen Zheng was extremely excited at this time, his hands were shaking constantly, and he couldn't speak clearly. He looked nothing like his usual self, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! Captain, I am Xiao Zheng."
"It's really you!"
The third uncle was first surprised and then delighted by this unexpected meeting. Naturally, he didn't bother to teach his little Liuzi a lesson. He also held the hand of shopkeeper Chen Da tightly and couldn't help but look at it.
While watching, he kept nodding.
"It looks like, it looks too much like, no, no, no, it is! You are Xiao Zheng!"
Finally, after repeated confirmations, the third uncle finally confirmed the news.
Xiaozheng, his comrade who was thought to have died on the battlefield, miraculously survived.
That's not all. Looking at the other party's appearance, it is obvious that he is doing well.
After thinking about it like this, the third uncle couldn't help being in a good mood. He didn't care about doing any small business, and just gave him a big hand, looking proud and proud.
"Come on, let's go. I haven't seen you for so many years. You're doing well. Why don't you have a drink to celebrate?"
"Okay, okay, big brother has your destiny, how dare I disobey you."
Chen Zheng, who was usually polite, replied even more elegantly at this time.
"Hahaha, yes, that's the smell!"
"Walk!"
"Go drink!"
