It was late at night and outside the water gate in the south of Luoyang City, a team of guards completed a round of patrols, leaving the city tower and returning to the yamen. Because the snow had just passed, the outside was very cold, and when he returned to the warm room, he gradually felt a heat.

"This bird sky, I guess there will be no sun tomorrow."

The captain of the guard took the kettle and smiled and said, "It's better to have a wife. I'll burn water. Look, it's still hot."

"Old Li, it seems that there are three aunts in your family. Which aunt burns water for you?"

There was a question next to him, and the room burst into laughter. Everyone knew that "Old Li" had the ability and married three aunts. Outside, he was a man who stood up and took good care of his brothers, but when he returned home, all three aunts were his masters. He was afraid of his aunts, so everyone knew about it in the south of the city. On weekdays, brothers would also use this to make fun of him.

"No matter which aunt you are, drink it if you have water. Who do you do?" Old Li said carelessly.

"No need for you. We can burn it ourselves, but we can't spend any firewood. The firewood has just been delivered these two days, and it's fresh. Look at the firewood in the backyard and I guess it's not too cold to come here to watch the night in winter."

Everyone sat down and cooked fire together. It was originally the Qingshui Yamen in the south of the city. On weekdays, they just came out to stay at night, and they could not draw benefits from the caravans passing through the city gate, because no one would leave the city at night. Once the city gate was closed, it would be difficult to get out.

"Old Li, when will we be able to transfer to the gate during the day? I heard that He Bantou and his team have more money than their salary in a month. If the brothers can also go there and follow you, Lao Li, wouldn't they be so delicious?"

Old Li curled his lips and said, "There is no chance. I don't see what Lao He is from. Has he ever followed the East King's Army to fight the west side? I heard that he has made merits. Those of us who guard the city gate all their lives only guard the city gate. If you can come here to guard the gate at night, you will get some salary every month."

"Go, what's going on to fight the west side? It's just a walk with the East King's Army. Yes, we veterans from Luoyang will probably never have a chance to go out of the city to fight in our lives."

The group of people talked all over the place, all a little dissatisfied.

After all, all those who serve in the army want to make achievements, but these things seem very far away from these city guards. Luoyang has experienced some things before, but in the end, the city guards guards guards guard the city gates, and it is not their turn to go out to kill the enemy.

"Old Li, there is a convoy outside. Go out and have a look!"

A new recruit came in and shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

"You little brat, you're just a few days old and you're calling Lao Li? You're calling Lao Li too? You call it Li Bantou!" Someone immediately corrected.

"Yes, Li Bantu, people outside are coming, won't we go out and have a look?"

"Let's just take a look when you go out. Brothers, go out and see who doesn't know what you know. He actually wanted to leave the city in the middle of the night. He was also tired of living, so it's good to kill them."

As the words fell, everyone was excited. Although they were not on duty at this hour, it would be good to go out and have a look. Maybe the caravan will be more filial.

When we went outside, the light was dim and the bitter cold wind was still blowing, but this did not reduce the enthusiasm of these city guards at all. This is a great thing. If a caravan leaves the city at night, there is no need to say that there is also a way to guide us, otherwise we will be able to make trouble by ourselves.

But I saw a group of people riding on the horse, majestic. Just looking at this posture, it seemed like they were on the army, but when I got closer, I realized that it was just a group of caravan guards in tight clothes.

"Who is dismounted and undergoing inspection!"

There were many carriages in the caravan, and it seemed that they were carrying very important things. If it weren't for the horse's clothes, they would have thought that the court was going to transport something out of the city.

When Lao Li and his team came over, the team on duty had already blocked the caravan's way. Lao Li and others came, so they could only stand aside first, as if it was a scene. If something unexpected happened, it would be a good thing to do. If there was really filial piety, after all, there were only two teams of people taking turns to stay on the night and knew each other. As long as he was good, they would not be able to escape their own.

"Open the city gate!"

With a soft shout, a rider drove his horse forward and turned his head, but it was a woman.

This was unexpected for these soldiers.

No caravan can be used to escort women, this is the basics, not to mention that this woman seems to be very good at being, and she can feel her tone as soon as she speaks.

To be cautious, the city guards didn't dare to come up and shout. They all knew that Luoyang was at the foot of the emperor. They really offended some powerful people because they accidentally offended them. So they would be sad. Who knows who is the origin of the woman who is about to leave the city in the middle of the night?

"Can there be a way?"

"There is no way to guide you." The woman replied directly.

"Then don't think about leaving the city! I don't understand the basic rules? I'm rushing to the south guard of the city, but I'm going to be squatting on the squad. Are you tired of living?" Hearing that there was no way to guide the guards, the tone of the guards became louder. When he shouted, he felt that the people below had begun to try, and some were ready to go up and take down the team of people. The spear in his hands was also facing the people in the caravan, ready to stab them out as soon as these people raided into the access control.

Old Li was watching, and the young man next to him asked, "Li Bantu, should you go up and help?"

"No." Old Li had an unknown premonition when he saw this attitude. He had never encountered such a thing before, and it was a bit strange.

"Old Li, what's wrong? It's time for us to go down at this time. Look, we've already gone up the city tower to dispatch troops, and something is going to happen." A veteran in his thirties said.

"Go away, go down. No one is allowed to move!"

Old Li said, leading a team of people down the stairs below the yamen.

At this time the woman shouted, "There is no Lu Yin, the Eastern King's handwriting is here, open the city gate!"

This sentence scared everyone present. Everyone immediately had an idea, and it was a big deal, but it was actually the handwritten by the King of Dong.

The woman was indeed holding a token in her hand, but no one knew the truth or falsehood.

"Wait, let's ask someone to check!" The guard captain on duty had no qualifications. He could not be sure of such a thing, so he came over and asked Lao Li quickly.

"Brother Li, that woman said she was holding the Eastern King's warrant, and she didn't know whether it was true or not. Go up and see it!"

Lao Li walked forward. But he saw the woman riding on the horse, too lazy to get off the horse, and looked arrogant. After seeing her appearance clearly, Lao Li couldn't help but sigh that she was really a beauty that walked out of a picture.

"Open your eyes wide and see clearly. If you don't open the city gate, you will be hindering your affairs. At that time, punishment will inevitably be inevitable!" The woman said in an almost threatening tone.

Lao Li had read the warrant, and it was true, but he had only encountered such a thing twice. He had entered the city from the south guard of the city at night instead of leaving the city. At that time, they were all officers and soldiers instead of people in casual clothes in front of him.

"I don't know what this Shangguan is called?" Old Li asked.

"Not that long-winded, open the door!"

The woman was a little impatient.

Old Li turned around and said a few words to the rotating captain. The captain said in confusion: "Brother Li, why does this matter feel strange? Why don't we go up and check it? If there is something hidden in it or something important to transport out of the city, we will let it go, and then the heads will probably land."

Old Li thought for a while and said, "According to the rules, we can escort out of the city."

"Brother Li said?"

Old Li said a few words in the captain's ear, and the captain nodded and said, "Brother Li's words make sense. Let's send a few people to go out and have a look!"

After saying that, the captain no longer stopped him. Then he opened the city gate.

As the city gate slowly opened, the caravan hurriedly drove out of the city. When passing by, Lao Li also observed carefully. Based on his experience, he could see that the caravan did not seem to transport any heavy things out of the city, as if it was just a cover.

After the others left, Lao Li and the captain of the guard immediately sent someone to follow him secretly. Because after all, it was a caravan, with horses and carriages, and they didn't run fast, and even two legs could keep up.

"Brother Li, have you seen some tricks?"

Old Li shook his head and said, "I can't tell you what's going on when my brother returns. Anyway, there are patrol troops outside the city. Once these people have any evil deeds, as long as the brother notifies the patrol battalion, these people will find it difficult to fly."

"So, Lao Li, you have the ability, you can even think of this. As long as you keep an eye on it, as long as they don't have any abnormal movements, we will be peaceful. Alas! I thought I could make money from the store, but I didn't expect it to be just a happy moment."

After saying that, Lao Li no longer stayed. After all, the weather was too cold and it was not the time for him to stay at night. It would be better to go in and warm up and talk to each other at home. This is a happy life.

After about half an hour, Old Li thought about it more and more wrong. At this time, the young guard ran in and said, "Big...that's a big deal."

"What's the matter?" Everyone in the room became nervous, thinking about the caravans that had just left. If there was any problem with these people, the matter would definitely be small.

"You'll know when you go out and have a look."

Lao Li and his team went outside, but saw a soldier covered in wounds coming back. It was obvious that he almost died because a flying arrow hit his chest, but it was a little tilted, otherwise he would have lost his life.

"What's going on?" Old Li stepped forward and looked nervously.

The captain just now had already asked, and walked over and frowned and said, "Brother Li, we may have caused trouble this time. We went out to follow the four people of the group, only one of them came back, and the other three were shot to death by inexplicably shot arrows. It was also his life, so he could escape the disaster and come back to report the news."

"Which group of people did it?" Old Li asked hurriedly.

"I'm afraid not. The group of people didn't make any noise at all, but someone was shooting a cold arrow."

Old Li exhaled, this matter was amazing. It seemed that his worries were right. Things were very big. If things fermented, they would all suffer.

"Brother Li, what do you think about this?"

"There is no way, please inform the city defense camp quickly. Now they can only take care of this matter." Old Li said nervously.

"But in this way, wouldn't we be responsible for negligence? By then, we may..."

Old Li roared angrily: "Is this still in mind at this time? If someone really wants to make a mistake in Luoyang, do you think that just staying at Linshui Gate can prevent them from entering Luoyang Gate?"

As he was talking, the captain was obviously unwilling to do so, because this might not be a dismissal and would be killed.

Just as I was thinking, suddenly a noise came from outside.

"Open the city gate!"

It was the woman's croaker again.

This sound scared the guards present.

"What's going on? Come back?"

Old Li listened carefully and said, "No, it doesn't seem like it was just now. The sound seems familiar."

At this time, another team of people on the city tower waved inside and said, "Open the city gate!"

"This is really rare. Some people go out of the city, and some people go into the city? Do you regard this city gate as a market?"

Lao Li did not dare to open the door casually. He climbed up the city tower and looked at it. He was shocked. He saw a group of people who had already stopped outside the moat, and there were many people. But the flag in his hand was undoubtedly the flag of the Dongwang Mansion.

There are carriages and a team of people, but they seem to be dressed in by officers and soldiers.

"Is it necessary to open the city gate?"

Old Li thought for a while and said, "It seems that he has to open it. Anyway, if you enter Linshui Gate, it is not Luoyang City, and you have to pass a few levels. Even if you have to pursue it, it is not just our Linshui Gate's responsibility. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's open the door!"

After saying that, the group went down to the city tower, opened the city gate, and people outside came to the city gate.

When he entered, he saw a majestic female knight who came up and shouted, "But the one you sent?"
