Chapter 21 The fish enter the net
As soon as the Dongfang was exposed, a worn-out carriage drove from the official road to Huaiyin City with a creaking sound and dusty face. Xiao Liuzi, the official who should be a job in Japan, was sitting unwillingly on a broken-up chair in a daze. He was really bored with his hands, holding his feet that were not worth much, and occasionally putting them on the tip of his nose to ask, and he was so sweet.
Occasionally, I picked up the hot and warm tea that Lao Zhang sent me diligently, and slid around and took a sip. Except for the lack of money in my pocket, the rest of the place was quite comfortable.
Thinking of the oil and water that had been gone in the past few days, Xiao Liuzi felt distressed and cursed the donkey named Qi in secret!
Looking outside the window, more than a dozen military masters repeatedly checked the population in and out. Occasionally, there was a little turbulence, and immediately a few people surrounded him, pulled out his knife, and pressed down the guys who were frightened and turned pale and asked them seriously.
Hey, this Huaiyin City hasn't been so lively for a long time.
I still remember that a few mornings ago, the people sent by each family left the city in a mighty way. According to the news that Xiao Liuzi found, he should have gone to Yinjiagou, nearly a hundred miles away to investigate something. But this person has not come back for several days. I heard that the faces of each family looked ugly. Hey, I don’t know how many cups, bowls and chopsticks of each family fell. In short, the fat man Yu, who sells dishes in the south of the city, has been laughing so brightly these days.
Xiao Liuzi twisted some of the fluff that had just grown. After all, Lao Yu is a family and he is very comfortable with him. Now he has made a family home, and he doesn't know how to be filial to the young master. When it's time for a few days, he has to beat him up and beat him well.
Before Xiao Liuzi could figure out how to knock on the family, the broken carriage in the distance finally drove to the city gate.
Xiao Liuzi glanced at him and immediately felt excited, and the hot tea poured all over himself.
He didn't even bother to scream at this moment, so he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He rushed to the city gate in a few steps and grabbed the young master who had just gotten out of the car: "Little Marquis! You're back!"
It was not important to say that the little marquis didn't matter. Ula, the soldiers who were searching the people, surrounded them all.
Although he never drew his sword to face him, he could not connect within three meters of radius.
The little marquis, who had just got off the car and was still not sure about the situation, only then did he realize that the seven or eight feet tall Huaiyin City Tower had already been replaced by fully armed people. A big flag with a big character in Qi poked the city gate tower and drifted in the wind.
When did this Qi surname enter the city?
When Xiao Liuzi saw that the little marquis was still in a daze, he quickly whispered: "Little marquis, you are back. You don't know that in the past few days when you were not here, the person surnamed Qi went to your mansion to find the marquis, but he asked for someone several times. I heard that one time he almost started fighting. I also heard that the person surnamed Qi gave the marquis gave you an ultimatum within three days. Yesterday, I went to the Marquis' Mansion and the side of Qi who were surnamed Qi to go out of the city to find you, probably ten people."
It is said that true love is revealed in times of adversity, and people's hearts are seen over time. The little sect official who has only met several times and still talks to him so much at this time, and the little marquis also appreciates it more.
If he doesn't want anything, it's just this kind of heart, it's worthy of praise.
Seeing that Xiao Liuzi wanted to say something to Jiang Baochan, the soldier in charge would let him inform him. He stepped aside and bowed respectfully with a knife: "Little Marquis, General Qi told us to wait for you here, please do not make us embarrassed."
The old man in the car drove the car to see that something was wrong, so he pulled the reins quietly and wanted to slip away.
These soldiers were polite to the little marquis, but they would not be polite to him. Seeing that he was about to escape, the soldiers in the lead took it down and immediately rushed up to six or seven people, some pressed their heads, and some tied their feet. If they resisted, they would punch and kick.
Jiang Baochan frowned and looked at the soldiers' mischief: "This man is just a coachman, why should he catch him?"
The leader gave a half step to the side, bent down slightly and made a gesture of inviting: "General Qi's order is that no matter who comes back with you, he will invite you to come."
The little marquis turned his head and glanced at the carriage. The tied old man had been roughly stuffed into the carriage. The terrified donkey screamed and whipped it.
The donkey was also tactful. After a few whips, he immediately became much more honest and went into the city gate with a groan. Soon, he surpassed the black carriage that had been waiting aside.
Jiang Baochan knew that it was just a matter of being unhappy to play with the character of the little marquis at this time, so he got into the carriage obediently, so the black carriage that had been at the city gate for two days also started moving.
The soldiers who were originally searching the city gates boarded their horses and escorted the little marquis to the city guard mansion that General Qi temporarily borrowed.
Xiao Liuzi pushed Lao Zhang, who had just arrived and couldn't figure it out, and said, "Why don't you go and notify the Marquis!"
With the crackling sound of Lao Zhang's two shoes and bluestone slabs, at least dozens of people quickly left from the south gate of Huaiyin City in different directions.
The city guard palace where the prefect Zhang was originally located had a temporary change. General Qi, who occupied the magpie's nest, had no sense of an outsider, and drove out all the maids or servants who were originally serving in the city guard palace. At this moment, except for the small officials inside and outside, there were only three layers of armor on the inside and three layers of armor on the inside and outside.
Before the carriage carrying the little marquis arrived at the door, the soldiers who reported the news were already reported by Mahjong.
