"Remember, you are our brother, your surname is Li and your name is Li Chun. What are we here for?"
"I know...brother, we are here to find relatives."
"Which one are you looking for?"
"My uncle...name is...Li Chengshun."
"What does Uncle do for a living?"
"Ah Cao is guarding the stockade and is the team leader of the stockade."
"Where is our ancestral home?"
"Guanxi Fufeng...Hemen County."
"My memory is pretty good. No matter who asks me in the future, they will always tell me that there is no such person as Qingchun in the world. Do you understand?"
"Um."
"Also, if you meet someone when you go in, don't speak. Your accent is wrong."
"Brother...otherwise, we'd better not go in..."
Naturally, Li Po would not be swayed by a child's fear of difficulties. He patted Qingchun's butt vigorously to ask him to be more honest, and then walked into the city gate corridor step by step.
The corridor is very long, indicating that the city wall is very thick. Of course, this is also because the stairs to climb the city wall are usually on the inside of the corridor, which naturally increases the length of the corridor.
It is very cold in the corridor, and there is no sunshine all year round, so naturally there is a gloomy atmosphere and a strange smell, which is no exception for any Guancheng.
Li Po saw these things for the first time and was quite curious. However, the whistling north wind drove him to speed up the pace of entering the city.
Soon, he saw the light of day again. Before Li Po could look around, two people were already standing in front of him.
Li Po was not surprised. Let's just say that such a big city should be an important military fortress in the north. How could it be possible for people to come in and out without any precautions?
Scanning with your peripheral vision, you can see that there are several gatehouses built on the inside of the city wall. People should come out from there.
The two people in front of them were naturally not woodcutters, but serious officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty guarding the city gate.
After taking a quick look, the two figures in front of me were a bit bloated, not because they were fat, but because they wore a lot of clothes.
In front of me was a big dark man, holding his shoulders and hunching his head, with a face full of impatience, even a little angry, which is easy to understand. Anyone who stays here in such a cold weather and has to come out from time to time to freeze would be a fool.
unwilling.
The person asking the question was the man next to him. He had a goatee and was quite old. He was holding a notebook and was being blown by the north wind. He was also swaying in the wind, curled up like a quail, and was leaning against the wind.
Next to the big black guy, it looked like a bear carrying a monkey...
It looked a little funny, but this question didn't sound funny at all to Li Po.
"Where did you come from? What were you doing in the city? Do you have any road signs?"
While asking questions, he looked Li Po up and down, and soon his tone of voice changed.
Li Po knew with his buttocks that not everyone entering the city would have to go through such questioning.
With their unfamiliar faces and ragged clothes, their identities were probably already established in this person's mind.
Li Po immediately bowed, his face already stiff from the cold, and he tried his best to put on a simple and honest smile.
"My two brothers are here to find relatives in Mayi. Please do it for your convenience and let me go to the Yamen to ask questions..."
Before he could finish speaking, the big black man pressed his companion's shoulders. The goatee immediately shrank, grinned, and did not dare to complain.
I guess I'm complaining in my heart, it's really bad luck to be associated with this rough guy.
In fact, his responsibilities are completely different from those of Hei Daguo. In addition to checking the origins of passers-by, he also has the responsibility of collecting taxes. He is a minor official under the jurisdiction of the County Cheng Mansion.
As for the big black man, he has a military rank on his body, so he is a serious soldier guarding the city.
However, staying here in this cold weather, the big black guy obviously doesn't hang out well. Like Goatee, he is a down-and-out person, relying on this city gate to barely make a living by earning a few copper coins.
This was still during the Daye period. If Emperor Wen was in power, they would not even have the guts to make a few copper coins.
The big black man pressed his waist knife, frowned and asked, "Guanxi people?"
Li Po was secretly happy that Lao Li really wasn't bragging. As long as he revealed his Kansai accent to the outside world, no one would dare to offend him even if no one would respond.
It is said that this is a precious asset passed down during the reign of Yuwentai of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. As for why, several veteran soldiers all said that heroes from Guanxi emerged in large numbers, and the big shots in the world now should be led by the heroes from Guanxi.
Naturally, others will respect the Kansai people more.
Li Po hadn't met many outsiders before, and those guys on the grassland didn't care whether you were from Kansai or not.
Now that we have arrived in the Sui Dynasty, we finally have the opportunity to verify whether these words are true or not.
The so-called Kansai refers to the place that is almost the same as the pre-Qin Dynasty.
The eight-hundred-mile Qinchuan River is still the seat of authority in the world and a serious political and cultural center. There is no place in the world that can compare with it.
"The villain Li Po, his ancestral home is Fufeng, Guanxi. His uncle left his hometown to join the army. There were no family letters for a long time. He only said that he was guarding the frontier in Daizhou, so the two brothers of the villain came over. I wonder if they can...
..”
The goatee, who was gradually becoming arrogant, immediately shrank his head.
Fufeng, although it is thousands of miles away, Fufeng Zhengzheng is a place where heroes are born, and the Li family is a popular surname in Kansai...
For example, the current county magistrate is from Guanxi and his surname is Li.
In addition, everyone in the world knows that all the clans in Kansai are related to each other. Who knows whether these two little guys who look like beggars can get married to the prince?
Thinking of this, this person immediately backed down, rolling his eyes and wondering if he could get close to these two. Even if it didn't work, it would be convenient and save some face for meeting in the future...
But the big black man didn't care about this, he smiled and said, "You're from the north, right?"
"Don't lie to me. After washing them, your cheeks must be red. If you take off all your clothes, there must be calluses on the inside of your thighs. There are traces of holding a knife on your hands all year round. You can't escape them."
The eyes of home.”
"You've seen blood when you kill people, right? Who did you kill? You can't tell anything about the kid on your back. Maybe you picked it up on the road..."
Although this black man might be considered tall and powerful, he was gifted with a pair of sharp eyes. He could guess the origins of Li Po and Li Po in just a few words.
Li Po never expected that on his first day in the city, he would meet a "magical detective"...

Finally, Ah Cao would like to ask for collection and recommendation. If possible, old book friends can help promote it. Ah Cao will be grateful.)
