When approaching the city gate, Yan Chixia saw a group of people standing upright with eyes like torches.
They look fierce and fierce, but passers-by are not afraid of them, and some even say hello to them.
These soldiers also nodded and smiled, but their feet did not move even half a step, as if they were pillars rooted in the ground.
"What an elite soldier~!"
Yan Chixia was amazed.
In addition to the city gate, he found that there were also soldiers patrolling and inspecting the city.
"But, the conditions of these soldiers are so good?!"
Why do you say that?
Yan Chixia found that all of these soldiers were strong men, unlike those he had seen in other places, who were old and young, with a sluggish temperament, and how thin they were;
What's even more outrageous is that they all wear uniform half-length leather armor, hold stainless steel spears in their hands, and carry short knives at their waists.
Especially the fine steel spear. Not only is the tip of the gun glowing with a cold metallic light, but the gun body is also cast in one piece of fine steel...
This is not to say that Yan Chixia has never seen this kind of luxury outfit, but it is only available to generals. Looking at the situation here, can even an ordinary soldier have such luxurious equipment? !
"Is the armament situation here so sufficient??"
With such doubts, Yan Chixia entered the city inquiringly.
The soldiers just glanced at him from head to toe and stopped paying attention to him. They neither asked about his origins nor asked for the entrance fee.
But Yan Chixia felt very uncomfortable.
Because when those soldiers looked at him, their eyes were on his throat, orbit, armpits, and heart. The navel and other vital parts of the human body were touched, and even the roots of children and grandchildren were scanned, which made Yan Chixia feel cold in her heart and forehead.
From this, Yan Chixia judged.
"The way you look at people with this look...isn't the silver pewter gun tip, it's the look of an elite soldier who has fought in hundreds of battles!!"
But after entering the city, Yan Chixia immediately discovered that the situation in the city seemed different from what she had seen before.
Of course, he couldn't tell exactly what was different.
I just feel that for a small county town, not only the city gate is very grand, but also the prosperity is far beyond that of a prefectural city.
What caught his eyes were row upon row of various shops, with a sense of orderly arrangement, and the sound of hawking. Yan Chixia couldn't help but be infected by the lively and warm atmosphere.
"This is what people in prosperous times look like~!"
"The military equipment is sufficient, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the county magistrate here has great talents and talents!"
"But, how did such a talented person end up in such a small place as a county magistrate?"
Yan Chixia thought about it and came up with the answer herself.
"...Hmph! He must have been framed by a traitor again and relegated to this place..."
"However, it's not bad to benefit one party here. It's better than fooling around with those guys in the capital!"
Yan Chixia, who was in a happy mood, went to the tavern with a smile.
As he walked and watched, he felt more and more powerful about this county magistrate.
The road surface is compact and smooth, and it is very hard to walk on. It is not the kind of muddy dirt road.
There is no garbage and filth piled up everywhere on the street. These businesses throw it away spontaneously into a big green bucket; and everyone is dressed neatly and freshly. Even ordinary clothes are clean and have no odor.
On the contrary, it was myself——..
When Yan Chixia saw a child walking past her, she fanned her hands hard and ran away with her teeth bared.
"Do I stink?!"
Yan Chixia found the tavern and handed the wine gourd to the waiter.
However, what he thought was a normal question, coupled with his full beard and scorching eyes, had nothing to do with the word "good guy".
The waiter's eyes moved from side to side. He didn't see the person he expected, so he said cautiously:
"How can you do that?! Master, you are so manly..."
Then it stopped.
Yan Chixia's eyes widened and she urged: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you get drunk!"
The waiter said: "......Uncle, the shop does not accept credit."
Yan Chixia raised her voice a little louder: "What, you think I
Freeloader? ! "
Seeing the waiter's embarrassed expression but still making no move, Yan Chixia put her hands in her arms angrily.
The waiter's eyes shrank, was he going to take out a knife? ~
At this moment, his eyes lit up and he saw the person he was expecting.
He took a step back and shouted loudly: "Third Master..."
"Click!~"
Seeing a tael of broken silver falling on the table, the waiter looked at someone who had already come over, feeling anxious and couldn't help but glance at Yan Chixia resentfully.
If you have money, take it out as soon as possible~!
This was a misunderstanding.
Liu San was patrolling the streets with his team as usual. Suddenly he heard shouting, so he led people there.
"Little steamed bun, what did you call me for?"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Yan Chixia.
The waiter smiled and said: "Third Master, it's nothing urgent. We just developed a new flavor of wine in the store. I know you like it, but I want you to try it first and comment on the taste."
Liu San's throat rumbled.
He is a good drinker.
However, he had no money before, and the taste of this wine that he could afford would only come and go.
But since he joined the Taiping Army and received military pay, especially the military pay is quite large, isn't it, the drunkard can't hold it back anymore~!
At the beginning, he was slapped a lot for drinking too much, but he later gained a good memory.
However, the wine on the market is getting better and better...
Liu San glared at the waiter angrily.
"Little Mantou, are you going to take advantage of your third master?!"
"Knowing that I'm still on duty..."
Little Mantou exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Ouch~! Third Master, how dare I?!"
"I want to say hello to you after you change the post. I'll keep this new wine for you."
Liu San said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it."
The little mantou handed Yan Chixia the wine gourd and a few copper coins, which were already full when he spoke just now.
"Sir, your wine is ready!~"
"Um...please talk a little bit, you should wash up..."
"This wine of ours is one of a kind. If your taste overwhelms the aroma of the wine, wouldn't that be a waste?!"
Yan Chixia stared, snorted and ignored him.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Liu San.
"My Excellency, Liu San, is the Chief of this County. This brother is a stranger. Is this your first time here?"
"What? You don't welcome outsiders?!" Yan Chixia raised her eyes and said.
There was no way, this guy named Liu San was a few inches taller than him.
"That's not true. It's just that the rules here are different from other places. It's my first time here, so I'm afraid you won't get used to it."
"I see that Xiong is carrying a sword. He must be a member of the Jianghu. There is a rule. Let me remind Xiong first..."
"In this county, murder is a crime!"
At the end, Liu San stared at Yan Chixia solemnly.
Yan Chixia became interested and asked:
"That's a good rule!"
"It's just that if we can really do it, there won't be so many wanted criminals on the official list."
"What if a gangster commits a crime and then flees somewhere else?!"
Hearing this, the scene became tense.
Liu San immediately clenched his weapon, and the twenty soldiers behind him quietly turned sideways, with their weapons unsheathed at any time.
Staring at Yan Chixia, Liu San said in a deep voice:
"Since the founding of the Taiping Army, no one has successfully escaped!"
"Brother, Shen!"
………………
Liu San, a soldier in the army, was a good drinker and a righteous man. The bearded guests were suspicious of him and provoked him.
