When Qin Shaoyou and the others returned to Qingtang Acropolis, it was almost dusk.
When they saw their "grain transport team" coming from a distance, the soldiers guarding the city gate became nervous, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
As the military flags danced above the city, a small group of cavalry galloped out of the city and stopped Qin Shaoyou and others several hundred meters outside the city, keeping about a stone's throw away from them.
In the cavalry team, a man who looked like a general asked aloud: "Who are you? What do you do?"
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou raised his right hand to signal the team to stop, and replied loudly: "We are from the Fucheng Hundred Household Office, and we were ordered to escort the grain and grass prepared by the Fucheng Prefecture to Qingtang Guard."
During previous investigations at various levels of government offices in Qingtang Acropolis, Qin Shaoyou and the others saw information and documents saying that several prefectures and counties, including Fucheng, would send people to send military supplies and supplies recently, so they chose such an identity.
.
However, although Qin Shaoyou and the others were indeed dressed like soldiers from the local guard, this small group of cavalry did not relax their vigilance. They still had their arrows in the bow and their swords out of their sheaths, guarding against Qin Shaoyou and others being Qingtang barbarians.
Soldier disguise.
The leading general, after looking Qin Shaoyou up and down, glanced at the grain truck behind them and asked again: "Why are there only so many trucks of grain and grass?"
Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I don't know. The rain in Fucheng this year is not good, the harvest is not good, and the epidemic curse broke out not long ago. In addition, the Black Lotus Sect took the opportunity to cause trouble, and the people really can't squeeze out too much food.
Even these carts of grain were raised by the magistrate from wealthy gentry families through all possible means."
Hearing this, a cavalryman next to the general snorted coldly: "We are fighting the enemy in the front, but these local officials in the back can't even raise food and grass, they are just a waste of money. If you ask me, we shouldn't let these
The local officials go to raise food, and we go there ourselves and ensure that we do better than them. Whoever dares not to pay the food will be deprived of food and we will see if they pay."
"Shut up." The general glanced sideways at him and scolded in a low voice: "It's enough to complain in front of the brothers. Can you say it in front of outsiders? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for the Marquis?
?”
The cavalryman was so scolded that he shrank his neck and said with a dry smile: "Boss, don't be nervous. I spoke so quietly and so far away from them, how could they hear me? Besides, they are just a group of local guards.
It's just trash, even if they hear it, how dare they talk nonsense?"
"If you don't control your mouth well, you will die from this mouth one day." The general snorted, ignored him, and turned to Qin Shaoyou, who was disguised as a guard soldier with a human skin mask: "
You said you brought grain and grass from Fucheng Prefecture, do you have proof?"
"Yes, yes."
Qin Shaoyou, who heard all the whispers of the generals and cavalry, nodded and said, "There are corresponding documents and identity documents."
"Bring it here." The general waved, paused, and added: "Come here alone, don't play any tricks."
Qin Shaoyou said "yes", took out the relevant documents and vouchers, held them high in his hands and walked towards the cavalry team.
Before he got close, a cavalryman came up and searched him to make sure he came without weapons. Then he took the documents and vouchers and handed them into the hands of the general.
After looking through it, the general confirmed that these things were genuine.
Just kidding, Qin Shaoyou and the others are the Red Envoys. The relevant documents and certificates don't need to be too many, and they are all guaranteed. The Jedi won't see any problems at all.
However, the general was still concerned and asked seemingly casually: "I remember that the official of your Baihu Office in Fucheng was named Xu Hu, right? Is he okay?"
Qin Shaoyou pretended to be stunned, and then said cautiously: "My lord, I may have remembered wrongly. Our leader's surname is Zhao Mingda, but his name is not Xu Hu."
The general suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, Zhao Da, I remembered it wrong. This Zhao Da was once a brother of our Qingtang Guard.
After being promoted to the Hundred Household Office due to meritorious service, he was transferred to the Fucheng Hundred Household Office... I remember that his daughter was quite well-behaved and cute, but is she okay?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head again: "My lord, you have remembered it wrong again. We, the lord, only have one son and no daughter. Moreover, he is a hereditary member of a hundred households, and he was not promoted through meritorious service here in Qingtang Wei."
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou knew everything about Zhao Da and it didn't seem like he was lying, the general completely dispelled his doubts.
After returning the documents and vouchers to Qin Shaoyou, he also explained a few words: "There have been a lot of moves in Qingtang recently, and they even pretended to be our people and sneaked into the city to cause damage. We have to guard against it."
"I understand, I understand. Your Excellency acts cautiously and behaves like a famous general."
Qin Shaoyou has a sharp tongue and flatters the general so much that he feels comfortable both physically and mentally. He only feels that the guy in front of him is getting more and more pleasing to the eye. It is a pity that his official position is low, otherwise he would be a soldier by his side and listen to him every day.
If you pat a horse's beard, wouldn't you be able to enjoy the happiness of a foolish king?
Although he was very satisfied with Qin Shaoyou, the general did not forget the process and asked his cavalry to inspect the food on the car.
Most of these grains are real, but some are fake. Under the cover of the deception method used by several Taoist priests of Yuhuangguan, they can still be easily hidden from the eyes of these cavalry.
However, those few barrels of fish, shrimp and turtles aroused the curiosity of the cavalry.
After receiving the report from his men, the general asked in surprise: "What's going on with those fish, shrimps, and turtles? Did you bring them from Fucheng?"
Qin Shaoyou had already thought of his words and explained with a smile: "We met a river on the way here. Seeing that the fish, shrimps and turtles in the river were very plump, we caught some, thinking that when we got to Qingtang Acropolis, we would also
It allows the brothers to have a tooth ceremony and taste some fresh river food."
"You are really considerate. These fish, shrimps and turtles are indeed plump. Let's catch a few of them and cook turtle soup and make fish dumplings." A cavalryman said, and he couldn't wait to get off his horse and reached into the bucket to catch them.
A few fish, shrimps and turtles came out, but they were bitten by the fish. He quickly stopped in pain and said in surprise: "These fish have teeth and dare to bite people."
When the companions around heard this, they all laughed:
"You must have put your finger in it and it mistook it for an earthworm."
"Fortunately, you stretched out your hand. If you stretched out any other part, wouldn't you have no choice but to go to the palace and become a father-in-law?"
"It's good to be a father-in-law. If he becomes a father-in-law, we can all follow him and become prosperous."
The cavalryman's face darkened, feeling that he had lost face, and he reached out to catch the fish that had just bit him, but was stopped by the general: "Okay, it's getting late, don't mess around here! During this period, Qing Qing
There is a chaos in the pond guard. These fish, shrimps, old turtles are so fat and they have eaten who knows what. If you are not afraid of being entangled with unclean things, just catch them and eat them."
"No wonder this fish dares to bite people, it must have tasted it..." The cavalryman quickly withdrew his hand and said to Mr. Qin: "You should just throw away these fish, shrimps and turtles.uuReading www.

Of course Qin Shaoyou couldn't do that. These fish, shrimps and old turtles were changed by the river patrolling yaksha under the Baiqing River Shuibo. He said with a face: "What a pity to throw away? Your Excellencies despise these fish, shrimps and old turtles.
There are always people who don’t dislike it, like us.”
Hearing this, the cavalryman frowned and didn't try to persuade him any more. However, when he looked at Qin Shaoyou, there was a bit more disdain and contempt in his eyes. But he didn't notice that there was a trace on his hand after being bitten.
Water-like lines flashed across the wound.
This is the river patrolling Yaksha who has put a mark on him. When needed, he will borrow his body.
The grain transport team quickly continued on the road, heading towards Qingtang Acropolis.
This small group of cavalry did not leave, but followed them, not only to protect them, but also to escort them.
When they arrived at the city gate, Qin Shaoyou and the others were ordered to stop again. After the general guarding the city gate checked their documents and vouchers, he ordered someone to bring out a half-meter-tall statue of Chi You and took a picture of it for everyone.
This statue of Chi You is also a supernatural object, but unlike the statue of the Patriarch, it has residual spiritual thoughts from the original body.
It is an ordinary supernatural item, but it is made to look like the military leader Chi You. Its function is to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Qin Shaoyou and the others were envoys in red clothes and were officials of the imperial court. Regardless of whether the purpose of their trip was to deal with Dongchuan Hou's group, in Chi You's eyes, they were all 'friendly troops'.
The Shui Bo of the Baiqing River is the Shui Bo River God who has been recognized by heaven and earth, and he is also the "friendly army" among the "friendly armies".
Seeing that Chi You didn't seem to give any warning, the general guarding the city gate allowed Qin Shaoyou and others to enter the city.
But he still sent someone, obviously to lead the way, but actually to monitor and prepare, leading Qin Shaoyou and the others to the corresponding yamen in the city for handover.
