In the main room in the backyard of the teahouse, Tang Yin saw Kong Qing and Di You. When he took off the bamboo hat on his head, Kong Qing immediately stepped forward to salute. Di You on the side peeked and secretly exclaimed, it turned out that this young man was Feng Qing.
Wang Tangyin.
When Kong Qing introduced him to Tang Yin, Di You stepped forward, raised his hands, bowed deeply to Tang Yin, and said, "Little man Di You, I have met His Highness the Wind King!"
It stands to reason that with his identity, when seeing Tang Yin, he must kneel down and bow down. However, Di You was born as a ranger and did not pay attention to etiquette. Furthermore, for Zhenren, Fengguo was not a good thing, so how could Di You?
Will he kneel down and salute Tang Yin?
Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and others all frowned. Two hidden arrow personnel were about to step forward. Tang Yin raised his hand to stop them, then looked at Di You up and down with a smile.
Said: "Whether I can successfully enter Xitang this time depends on you."
The Zhenguo court was also afraid of spies from the coalition forces sneaking into the capital, and strictly inspected people entering and leaving the capital. Tang Yin and others could not enter at all without credentials.
Di You was surprised that the majestic king of a country could be so polite.
His face straightened, and his rejection of Tang Yin subtly lessened a bit, and he said: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang has spoken seriously! The general has already explained to the villain the purpose of His Highness entering the city. Regardless of public or private reasons, the villain should help him with all his strength.
!”
Tang Yin smiled and nodded. Although he didn't know what this Di You was capable of, since he was the person Kong Qing asked to help, he was definitely not far behind.
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and the two hidden arrow personnel near the door immediately put their hands behind their backs and tightly grasped the sabers hidden on their back waists.
As the door opened, a young girl in her early twenties walked in from the outside. She was wearing a light pink dress on the upper body and a light pink gauze skirt on the lower body. She had rich makeup and looked a bit frivolous. The girl did not expect that the room
There were so many people in the room all of a sudden, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked up to Di You with a smile and twisted his waist, and said delicately: "The thing Brother Di asked me to find has been
It’s all together.”
Di You was about to speak when he suddenly saw everyone around Tang Yin staring at the girl coldly with murderous intent. He introduced: "Don't be nervous, everyone. This is my subordinate, Pang Li."
After hearing this, the air in the room that seemed to be solidifying suddenly returned to a fluid state. The secret arrow personnel withdrew their cold gazes and stood behind Tang Yin as if nothing had happened.
Although the girl was chatting and laughing on the surface, she was actually secretly relieved and muttering in her heart: These people are so murderous! What on earth do they do?
Although she was Di You's confidant, the latter did not explain Tang Yin's true identity to her. The matter was so important that there was no room for any mistakes. Naturally, the fewer people who knew the inside story, the better.
Di You stretched out his hand to her and said, "Bring it to me!"
The girl reached into her arms, slowly took out a roll of something, and handed it to Di You.
The latter took it and unfolded it. It turned out to be a stack of papers. He looked through them one by one and counted them carefully to confirm that they were correct. Then he turned back and handed them to Tang Yin and whispered: "Ah...ah, Master, this is
Lu Yin, I can prove that you are from Nancun, Rongfeng County, Taihe County. When you enter the city, if someone interrogates you, just say that you have come to join the army. Of course, my little...oh, I will also be a cover, help the young master clear the way, and guard.
The soldiers at the city gate will never make things difficult for you."
At that time, there was no such advanced product as the ID card. When going out, people would carry a road guide with them, which recorded their birthplace as proof of their identity. The road guide was issued by the government and stamped with the official seal and
It is very difficult to fake the specially made official seal. The directions sent by Pang Li are all genuine. As for how she got it, it is unknown. This is also one of the skills of Di You's subordinates.
Bar.
Tang Yin lowered his head and glanced at Lu Yin, then handed it to Cheng Jin and asked him to distribute it to everyone.
Pang Li was very curious about Tang Yin's identity. As Di You's subordinate, she knew her boss's character very well. She was always honest with anyone, but she was respectful and polite to the young man in front of her.
, this is too abnormal.
She approached Tang Yin and asked with a smile: "I don't know your surname, sir? He has to borrow a road to lead him into the city. Is he not a virgin, or is he a wanted criminal that the government wants to arrest?" As she spoke, her body slowly moved.
Lean closer to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin's foot slipped, and he moved her out of the way seemingly casually but just right. He smiled indifferently and said, "I am in the early Tang Dynasty. It is not convenient for me to reveal my identity to the girl now."
In the early Tang Dynasty, Pang Li had never heard of this name and wanted to ask. Di You, who was next to him, coughed heavily and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. There is nothing for you to do here. Go and do your business."
Right!"
"Yes! I resign!" Pang Li seemed frivolous and dissolute, but she was still in awe of Di You from the bottom of her heart. She took a deep look at Tang Yin, then turned and walked out.
After he left, Di You said to Tang Yin: "Pang Li has always been like this. If he is rude and offends His Highness, I hope His Highness will not take offense."
Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Mr. Di You is too polite."
"Your Highness has come all the way, so he must not have eaten anything yet. I will ask someone to prepare wine and food." As he spoke, he was about to go out and give instructions to his servants. Tang Yin raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't bother me.
If I want to enter the city, I can have dinner later."
"Okay!" Since Tang Yin was in a hurry to enter the city, Di You didn't force it and said seriously: "Let's leave now!"
After a pause, he warned everyone: "Don't forget your name and origin on the road. If you give wrong answers when the soldiers enter the city for interrogation, you will be in trouble."
There is no need for him to teach these things at all. No one here is free, and it is impossible for them to make such stupid mistakes. Kong Qing said: "Everyone will pay attention to these, let's go quickly!"
"Okay, General!"
With Di You leading the way, everyone came out from the back door of the teahouse and walked towards the West Tang City Gate.
Nowadays, there are many people coming in and out of Xitang, most of them are young and strong men. Most of them come here with only one purpose, to join the army, defend their homes and country, and make achievements.
Zhen country is barren and the environment is harsh. Zhen people can survive on this land and their hearts are still very unified. If Li Hongda hadn't been rebellious, proclaimed himself emperor privately, and massacred those who remonstrated among the people, there would have been even more people who came to join the army.
If there are too many people, I'm afraid the capital city will be overcrowded, and it's even more impossible for the coalition forces to hit Xitang with such overwhelming force.
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to the next wrong step. Now Li Hong was already riding a tiger and couldn't help himself.
Let's say that Tang Yin and his party followed the flow of people and came to the east gate of Xitang.
There were hundreds of Zhenjun guards here, strictly checking the people who came in and out. When they found Tang Yin, before anyone else could speak, Di You took the lead to greet him, with a smile on his face, he raised his head and said: "Xiaochu, it turns out today
It’s you who are on duty!”
The person he called Xiaochu was the captain of the Zhenbing soldiers. He looked around and saw that the person coming was Di You. He was happy and came forward to greet him. He asked with a smile: "Brother Di, what, are you going to the city today?"
"Yes, I will bring a few fellow villagers to the city to join the army!" Di You pointed at Tang Yin's people casually.
"Fellow fellow?" Captain Zhenbing looked around at Tang Yin's crowd, stretched out his hand, and said seriously: "Bring me the road guide."
Tang Yin and others handed over Lu Yin one after another. Captain Zhenbing took it, looked at it roughly, smiled softly at Di You and asked: "When did Brother Di become a native of Taihe County? Is it possible that he was pulled again?"
Are you here to make money?"
Nowadays, there are difficulties in recruiting soldiers in the Zheng Kingdom. The court has regulations that anyone who recommends young men to join the army can receive a certain reward. Di You has also recommended this several times before.
Of course, he doesn't like the small amount of money, but his hidden identity is that of a teahouse owner and a rogue. Sometimes he needs to do a few dirty things to hide his identity as an intelligence dealer and make more connections.
.
Hearing what Captain Zhenbing said, he smiled dryly, took out a few copper coins from his sleeves, stuffed them into Captain Zhenbing's hand, and said: "If you have time to go out of the city, come and sit with me, drink tea, and eat."
Snacks, my treat."
Captain Zhenbing took the copper coins and stuffed them into his belt, while declining with a smile on his face: "Brother Di, what are you doing? We are all acquaintances, how can you... make me embarrassed..."
"Oh, brother, there's no need to be polite to me!"
Captain Zhen Bing smiled and nodded repeatedly, handed the road guide back to Tang Yin and others, and said to the Zhen Bing soldiers on the left and right: "Let it go, let it go, there is no need to check, they are all our own!"
"Captain, we haven't searched you yet!"
"No matter what you search, they are all your own people, let them go quickly!" Captain Zhenbing glared at his subordinates. The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. Although Captain Zhenbing is not a big officer, he is the immediate superior of the soldiers. What he said
No one dared not listen.
Having Di You around really saved Tang Yin and others a lot of trouble. The Zhen soldiers let them into the city without even searching their bodies.
Inside Xitang City. Although Zhenguo is poor, there is no clue about it from Xitang. Most of the dignitaries and merchants of Zhenguo are gathered here. It is not an exaggeration to say that Xitang is the economic center of Zhenguo.
Compared with the slums outside the city, the buildings in the city are like two worlds. Tall and luxurious pavilions can be seen everywhere. The streets and alleys are crowded with people. The shouts of vendors on both sides are heard one after another. Exquisite and luxurious carriages run from the middle of the street from time to time.
However, at this time, Xitang was still a prosperous scene, and there was no sense of crisis at all when troops were approaching the city.
In other words, Zhen people have long been accustomed to enemy invasions. In people's subconscious, they seem to believe that no matter how powerful the enemy army is, it is impossible to capture the capital of Zheng Kingdom. For thousands of years, Zheng Kingdom has been invaded by enemy troops.
There were not thousands but hundreds of times. The enemy troops fought from the border to Xitang several times, but never once did they enter the city. In the end, they were all tenaciously repelled by Zhenguo soldiers. Many people in the capital also believed that,
