Zheli had already adjusted his mood. Although the old man was confused and confused, sometimes he was quite amusing and talked coherently, which quickly distracted his attention.
After listening to Xia Zhaoyi's question, Zhili thought about it for a moment, raised his head and said, "It's really easy to find out. The gatekeeper who guarded the city told me and spent some money."
"How?"
"It's just that he has a handsome appearance. He is not an ordinary person at first glance. He also has many subordinates..."
"So, you think it's Shen Lie?"
"Of course not. Mr. Shen is handsome indeed, but he is not the only good-looking son in the world. I understand this. The key is that the city gate man mentioned him by name."
Xia Zhaoyi solemnly asked: "Name?"
Zhili was flustered by her expression. He blinked his eyes and felt a little uneasy for some reason. He nodded: "I asked if there were any handsome men passing by here. He said a lot. Then he took the initiative to say that one of them was named Shen and asked. Do you know him or not? When I heard this surname, I immediately became excited, but he refused to say anything. He insisted on asking me to give him some money, so I gave it to him. Then he said that when Mr. Shen just left the city, there was a man there. When he was chasing him, the man called Shen Langjun by his name, so he remembered that his name was Shen Lie. Moreover, there were many people when Shen Langjun and the others passed by, and when he heard them talking, they mentioned that it was Shen Lie. Go to Songzhou."
After he paused for a moment, Zhili's voice became lower: "...Senior Sister, is there something wrong?"
"It can't be so casual," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I'm going to the city and will come back in about an hour. You are in your room, don't go out easily. The person you are arguing with in the lobby today is not a good person. "
"You know me, little senior sister?"
"We've had a fight. Anyway, I'll be back as soon as possible. You try not to go out."
After saying that, Xia Zhaoyi turned around and left.
Zhili was momentarily flustered and looked towards Lao Tong and Zhi Changle.
"Probably nothing will happen..." Lao Tong said in a low voice.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ah Li look so serious in many years." Zhi Changle also said.
"That's all," Zhili took a deep breath and said, "Since the young senior sister told us not to leave, then we won't leave until she comes back."
Xia Zhaoyi returned to her room and changed her clothes as quickly as possible. She was dressed in a simple outfit, a black gown with a waist that she usually wore.
After leaving the house and descending the wooden ladder, she went directly to find the shopkeeper and told him that if anyone came back to look for them, no matter who it was, they would say they had left.
The shopkeeper really didn't want to cause trouble, so he agreed with a headache and annoyance.
"Is there a horse?" Xia Zhaoyi asked again.
The shopkeeper shook his head, but pointed to a carriage shop.
After leaving the inn, Xia Zhaoyi went to the horse and carriage shop to buy a horse and ran straight to the left.
The official road to the left from Youzizhuang is very flat and paved with high-quality large bricks. Therefore, the heavy rain last night did not make the road muddy, and there is no need to worry about horses' hooves stepping into puddles.
There were many carriages in front of us, and from time to time we could see a lot of soldiers carrying helmets and armor.
The left-hand drive is both stable and chaotic, which can be regarded as a spectacle.
When I rushed to the city gate, there were many soldiers lined up at the city gate, and a man who looked like a soldier was talking.
Xia Zhaoyi reined in his horse and looked at them from a distance without stepping forward.
It took half an hour for them to finally leave and go to Youzizhuang again.
Xia Zhaoyi watched them pass by, then looked back at the city gate, and saw the gatekeeper guarding the city gate.
The city gate on the left actually does not need to be guarded at all.
People who came in and out were allowed to go at will, and there was nothing they could do if they didn't. There was only such a small number of troops, which aroused the anger of the people and they had no life to stop them.
And if there really is a large army crossing the border, just like the soldiers and horses of Yun Bozhong and Tian Dayao came to sweep it before, they have nothing to do. They can only receive the news early and hide first. There were a few who didn't have time to hide before.
Became a dead soul under the sword.
Everyone understands this. Although the other party is for wealth and food, and does not massacre the city or easily kill people, it is impossible not to feel unhappy when seeing soldiers wearing other armors.
Now the city gatekeeper is sitting there with his legs crossed, climbing up and looking into the distance. He is sitting still, looking at the vast countryside outside the city gate, wondering what he is thinking.
A piece of silver was suddenly thrown in. The city gatekeeper was stunned, and subconsciously reached out to catch it. His reaction was still half a beat too slow, and the silver fell on the city wall with a crisp ding-dong sound.
He quickly picked it up, what a good guy, it actually has some weight. Then he paused and looked up in front of him.
Boy, no, girl?
The girl stood there, looking at him steadily, with no expression of joy or anger on her face.
"You, what are you doing?" Chengmen Lang said, looking at the horse behind her, and then said, "No, how did you get up here?"
"Who told you the name Shen Lie?" Xia Zhaoyi asked directly.
Chengmen Lang paused and looked at her with vigilance and scrutiny in his eyes: "Who are you and why do you ask this as soon as you come up?"
"Answer truthfully, and I will double the silver." Xia Zhaoyi said.
The silver in my hand actually has some weight, and I feel solid holding it in my hand.
The city gatekeeper swallowed dry and said: "This matter... they said it themselves. When I was guarding the city gate here, they were shouting loudly over there because the young master was good-looking, so I
Just remember it..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a whip, and the back of his hand hurt. The silver in his hand that had not been warmed immediately fell to the ground with another crisp sound.
The painful city gatekeeper covered his hand and became furious. Before he could speak, he heard the girl's cold voice: "You lied."
If someone calls Shen Lie like this at ordinary times, Xia Zhaoyi will not think anything of it. But if he wants to go to Songzhou in Song Zhiyi, he will definitely be cautious. Not only will he be cautious, but so will his colleagues. It is absolutely impossible.
Such publicity, after all, the left line is a mixed place, no one knows who will appear here.
Either, what Chengmen Lang said is true. If so, there is something wrong with Shen Lie's companions.
Either that, what the Chengmen Lang said was false, then why did the Chengmen Lang say it was a lie?
The girl has a Qinghua temperament and a commanding aura. When she whips the whip, her technique is swift, accurate and ruthless. Chengmen Lang has seen all kinds of people over the years and understands that this girl in front of him is not something to be trifled with.
"Answer truthfully," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Who told you the name Shen Lie?"
The soldiers guarding the city on the other side of the city tower and those under the city wall vaguely heard the movement here and were coming.
The gatekeeper looked over there and heard another crack of a whip, at an extremely tricky angle, and the back of his other hand immediately started to hurt.
Xia Zhaoyi never liked bullying others, but this time he was really angry. He said in a cold voice: "And, how many people have you told this? I believe that this young boy today is definitely not the only one."
