"Why don't you let us in!? Can't you see it!? We are also the people of Liang Kingdom!!"
"That is to say!! We have traveled such a long way! We finally got back to our capital! Why are we not allowed in?"
"Where are the people in charge!! Call your people in charge out! I'll blind you! Do you know who I am!? The Prime Minister is my old friend!!"
"And me!! Shangshu Kalimu is my biological uncle!! How dare you not let me enter the city!!??"

"Sir, I heard that these people below are all from Tashkent. They are all rich or noble, and have a profound background. Are we..." The clerk at the gate whispered a few words to the gate guard, and then
The general laughed...
He handed the other party a piece of parchment and told the clerk: "Go to the gate of the city. According to this statement, as for those with backgrounds... Haha... It's not impossible to go in, so it's up to them.
Will you be a man again..." After saying that, the guard gave the other party a wink, and the clerk immediately understood and ran to the city gate tower with a wicked smile on his face.
"Everyone, be quiet!! Be quiet!!! It's not that we don't let you in!! But the prefect gave the order! In order to prevent spies from sneaking into the capital! Your identities must be checked before you are allowed to go!! Everyone, outside the city
Stay for a few days, I believe there will be results soon——!!"
"What!?? Stay outside the city for a few days!?? It's snowing now! Can't you see?? I think you guys clearly want to freeze us to death!!!"
"There is still food!!! There is no food left!! You won't let us go into the city to buy food!! Don't we have to starve to death!!??"
"Young man!! Help me send a message to the Prime Minister!! Just say that an old friend from Tashkent is visiting! Wait for me to come in! I will definitely reward you!!"
"And me! Send me a message too!! I'll definitely reward you heavily!"
"Me too!!! I'll give you...three golden beads!!!"
"I will also give you three golden beads!!!"

The clerk stood on the city gate and looked at the group of people below who were constantly bidding. His eyes were almost gone when he smiled, but he did not dare to answer. He could only silently go down from the city gate tower, run to the guard, and whisper in a low voice.
Said: "Sir! I have made a fortune! These people are quite enlightened!"
"In the face of death, all fools will learn something, huh!" The guard sneered, stood up, handed the clerk a wooden bucket, and said: "Go up and knock three times in front of everyone!" Then he turned and went back to himself.
in the barracks, sleeping silently.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Varro's guard slowly stood up and ordered the south city gate to be secretly opened a crack, and this gap could only allow one person to pass at a time...
But outside the city, there was already a long queue.
"They are all smart people... very good," the guard smiled slightly, took out a pocket from his waist, and said in a deep voice to the door: "Each person! Three golden beads! No matter who dares to break in! Just go straight.
Hack to death!"
"Yes yes yes!"
"Hey! Good!!"
The officers and soldiers guarding the city and the people outside the city quickly reached a tacit understanding. In front of the guard, they threw gold beads into the bag one by one, including underage children.
, all three gold beads.
So here comes the question...
What should those who have no money do?
Are you willing to wait to die??
Obviously...this is impossible...
Gradually, the crowd gathered outside the team. Several guards immediately drew out the scimitars from their waists and began to drive away the crowd.
“You don’t want to live anymore!? How dare you break in without money!!??”
"Go away——!! Go and stand over there! If you dare to take a step forward again, I will chop you down!"
The scimitar in the soldier's hand reflects the biting cold light between the lamp shadow and the snowflakes. The constant licking of blood from the blade has filled these soldiers with evil spirit. If it were normal times, these unarmed civilians would naturally retreat, but this time is different.
Gone are the days...
How could these civilians, whose lips turned blue from the cold and dared not sleep in the snowy night, still be afraid of a mere machete under the threat of death...
"Crack!"
A stone hit one of the soldiers directly in the face, and blood and snowflakes mingled together.
"Who! Who threw it!!" The other soldier was obviously a little panicked, but no one responded. Instead, there were more stones!!!
After all, there are plenty of rocks in the Gobi Desert!
In an instant, one stone stirred up a thousand waves! Countless stones were picked up by the angry civilians and thrown out by them. Countless gravels were like invisible arrows in the dark night, shooting at these officers and soldiers.
The little official who blocked the gate saw that the situation was not good, and immediately hid behind the city gate, preparing to have the gate closed.
But the guard of the city gate stopped him at this time. Instead, he ordered people to completely open the city gate, while he himself hid in a safe place and shouted to the crowd: "Don't throw it away! I will let you all into the city."
!!Stop it!! Otherwise I will close the city gate!! No one can enter!!!"
"Sir! Are you crazy!? Why did you let them into the city!??" The clerk also hid outside the city gate at this time and looked at the guard with confusion.
The guard just smiled, ignored him, and continued shouting the words he just said. Soon, the city gate was completely opened, allowing these angry people to regain some composure, and the attack of gravel gradually gradually
However, their distrust of the officers and soldiers and the court forced each of them to still hold a few stones in their hands and refused to let go. It was not until a few bold ones rushed through the doorway first that the rest of the people went crazy and followed suit.
They poured into the capital one after another.
Until then, the guard slowly said to the clerk beside him: "Can't you see? This city is about to end! There are more and more people! Food is getting more and more expensive! If this goes on, here
It will only be a matter of time before Liang Guo captures it!" Having said this, the guard raised the bag in his hand again and shook it twice, and a clear and sweet impact sound immediately came from inside.
"Why don't you make a fortune before it's over? As long as you have money, you can be a master wherever you go!?? Letting these people into the city now is to completely mess up the court and the Yamen. They are the only ones
If there is chaos, we will not be able to free up manpower to arrest us! Do you understand?"
After the guard general finished speaking, the clerk felt enlightened and nodded repeatedly.
"Now that you understand, hurry up and call your family members to escape!" As the guard said, he grabbed a handful of gold beads from the bag and handed it to the clerk, and whispered: "It's not in vain for you to follow me.
After so many years, this gold is enough for your whole family to have no worries for the rest of their lives!"
"Thank you, sir!!" Just as the clerk looked grateful and was about to stretch out his hands to receive the gold, he suddenly saw the figure in front of him flicker! A scimitar had already been drawn across his neck...
The clerk's eyes widened, and he pressed hard on the wound on his neck with both hands, trying to stop the flow of blood, but these efforts were in vain. After just a few breaths, he collapsed in a pool of his own blood, violently
twitch.
But the guard just smiled coldly, stuffed the gold beads in his hand back into his pocket, then bent down and said the last words to the clerk who was about to die: "There is one more thing.
I forgot to tell you...actually, I am from Liang..."
