The main city of Qingtangwei is an important frontier town that has been continuously constructed for more than a hundred years. It has towering walls, numerous arrow towers, and is full of formations and mechanisms.
You can still see stains of blood on the wall, which seems to tell of the fierce battles that have broken out here.
On the north and south sides of the city, more than ten miles away, there is a smaller military town on each side, which is at the corner of the main city of Qingtangwei.
Once a foreign enemy invades, the three cities can support each other and strangle the enemy.
In the past few years, due to the trade between Daxia and Qingtang, these three frontier towns have turned into business centers. Merchants traveling from south to north not only brought a large amount of gold, silver and luxury goods, but also It also brings all kinds of pleasures.
It is said that before the outbreak of the war, the brothels, sand dance halls and Goulan tile houses in the three military towns were unmatched by Jincheng, the capital of Yizhou, in terms of scale and quality.
Even the capital city is a bit inferior.
Unfortunately, with the resumption of war, the three cities have turned back into military towns. The brothels, sand dance halls and Goulan tile houses inside are no longer as prosperous as they were before.
Outside the main city of Qingtangwei, Zhu Xiucai beat his chest when he talked about this and sighed: "Why didn't I have the opportunity to come to Qingtangwei before? It's such a pity that I missed the opportunity to learn more. I heard that the number one here is The dancing queen, with her charming eyes and seductive eyes, dances like a goddess coming to earth."
Cui Youyou glanced at him and sneered: "It's nothing to regret. Even if you had the chance to come here before, you didn't have the money to see any top dancer."
Zhu Xiucai wanted to refute, but found that he really had nothing to say.
As Cui Youguo said, in the past, the brothels, sand dance halls, Goulan Houses and other places in Qingtangwei were very high-end, but the consumption was also high. After he followed Qin Shaoyou, he made a lot of money, but It’s not enough to spend in the top gold sales cave.
Not to mention meeting the most beautiful dancer and sleeping with the most beautiful oiran.
Although ordinary brothels, sand dance halls and Goulan tile houses are not expensive, they are of little significance to the well-informed Zhu Xiucai.
Cui Youyou saw Zhu Xiucai sighing and was about to laugh a few more words. A city gate guard came to him, patted his sword box, and said with a cold face: "Open it and check it."
"Do you want to open this too?" Cui Youyou frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "We are red-clothed envoys, and we have been ordered to come to your Qingtang Guard."
The city gate guards responded coldly: "Now that the Qingtang people are invading the country, who knows if you are Qingtang barbarians in disguise? I just checked your weapons and equipment without confiscating them, which is already a big deal to you red-clothed envoys." ”
How could Cui Youguil not see that these city gate guards were deliberately targeting them? Just like those border patrols encountered along the way.
With Senior Brother Cui's temperament, if he didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, he would already be giving himself a lot of face. How could he just swallow his anger after others find trouble?
He immediately smiled and said: "I can't tell that your Qingtang Guards are quite well-defended, but why did you let hundreds of Qingtang barbarians and a group of Qingtang wizards pass the boundary, and you still want us to wipe your butts? "
When the city gate guards heard this, they all changed their colors instantly, and some even raised their spears and put their hands on the handles.
"What? You want to take action? You are no match for Master Dao! Don't you want to check my sword box? If you have the ability, open it yourself. Don't blame Master Dao for not reminding you, my sword has a temper. I disturbed it so much that it took a rest and was injured, but I can’t blame it.”
Cui Youyou sneered again and again, not taking these city gate guards seriously at all.
Although the city gate guards of Qingtang Guard are all elite and daring warriors, compared with them, their strength is still far behind.
The city gate guards were in a dilemma. They wanted to embarrass the red-clothed envoy, but they knew that the red-clothed envoy was not simple in strength and power, and they did not dare to really conflict with him.
"okay."
Just when the city gate guards were losing ground, a guard came out of the city, glanced at Cui Yougui, and said to the city gate guards: "The red-clothed envoy is right, let the Qingtang barbarians cross It is indeed our fault that we broke the defense line. There is no need to check the weapons and equipment of these red-clad envoys. Their identities have been confirmed by the Marquis and there is no problem."
The city gate guards breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the order one after another. At the same time, they glared at Cui Youhang, showing an attitude of refusing to admit defeat.
But in the eyes of Senior Brother Cui, this is just a kind of incompetent rage.
After dismissing the city gate guards, the general raised his hands towards Qin Qiaoer and said with a smile: "I must be the beloved disciple of Commander Qi. Qin Qiaoer is the commander-in-chief of Qin, and I have admired his name for a long time. I am under the command of the Marquis of Dongchuan. Di Jie, the official of Qianhu, has been waiting here for a long time for Commander Qin and the red-clothed envoys, following the orders of Lord Marquis."
Qin Qiaoer returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "I am Qin Qiaoer. Since the Marquis of Dongchuan asked General Di to wait here, he must have known our purpose, so he asked General Di to lead the way and asked me to meet with the Marquis of Dongchuan and make some inquiries. .”
Zhu Xiucai raised his brows, leaned into Qin Shaoyou's ear, and whispered: "My lord, this man named Di is also targeting us. When he opened his mouth, he said that Commander Qin was Commander Qi's beloved disciple, which was obviously a mockery of Commander Qin. He became the leader of the Red Envoy because of his connections and through the back door, not his ability. Also, he said that he had been waiting here for a long time, but when the city gate guards checked our identities and the equipment we carried, he never showed up. Obviously he wanted the city gate guard to embarrass us. It was only when he saw that we were about to fall out that he came out to smooth things over. Such a method is really low-level."
Qin Shaoyou also saw this situation and whispered: "As my sixth sister said, these border troops feel that they are killing the enemy in a bloody battle, but we envoys in red come to check on their people, which makes them feel unhappy. So. Because of our status, they don’t dare to oppose us openly, but in the dark, they will definitely find ways to embarrass us over some small things.”
"Then what should we do?" Zhu Xiucai asked.
Qin Shaoyou snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "What can we do? It's just to deal with it carefully, and the soldiers will block the water and cover it up with the soil. Although we are red-clothed envoys, under normal circumstances, the border troops will at most make some small moves to disgust us, no What a big scene will happen. But now that the war is coming, if they really have a problem, there is no guarantee that they will not find an opportunity to kill us, then frame it for the Qingtang people, and finally cut off a few heads of who knows who, and say it is Having avenged us, it would be very difficult for the court to pursue us... That’s why Sixth Sister and I left the monk, Lao Gun and a few red-clothed envoys outside the city, so that if something unexpected happens, there will be someone to respond."
Zhu Xiucai nodded slightly. He also felt that this worst-case scenario was really possible.
Even as Qin Shaoyou said, he was very alert and wary of the surrounding border soldiers.
While Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai were whispering, they were also brought into the city by Di Jie Qianhu.
While leading the way, Di Jie shook his head and said: "Commander Qin, I'm really sorry. Our Lord has received an urgent military situation and is currently discussing with the generals. I can only ask you to go to the post to rest first and wait for the Lord to finish his military affairs." , come and summon you again.”
