Wushen Pass is a huge military fortress with a majestic gate, like the mouth of a giant beast, devouring business travelers. The terrain is dangerous, adjacent to Yongzhou and Jizhou, and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Compared with other counties with vast territory and sparse population, this place is extremely prosperous. Not only people from the three states live there, but also ethnic groups from outside the Great Wall often come and go here to exchange daily necessities.
People of the ethnic groups outside the Great Wall generally wear fur coats and felt hats, and lead cattle, sheep, camels and other livestock around the market, adding a bit of character to the prosperity of the city.
During the day, the streets and alleys are relatively dull and peaceful, but at night, the city is full of prosperity.
There are opera singers, jugglers, and flower drinkers, and there are all kinds of things. The main road is bustling with traffic, and the flow is endless, reflecting the endless noise and incomparable noise.
Lu Chen pretended to be a guard and followed the caravan to the city gate. He found that there were many sergeants stationed near the city gate. They were all fully armed and full of murderous intent. The atmosphere was very tense.
Seeing a caravan coming, a general wearing dark red armor and a black helmet immediately intercepted it.
The man glared at Scar and shouted sternly: "Come down for routine inspection!"
Scar rode the horse in front and said with a smile: "Brother, what is going on!"
The leader of the soldiers scolded unceremoniously: "You blind thing, don't you know that such big things have happened recently? Look at the official list just released during the day on the wall on the right!"
Hearing what the soldier said, Scar and the others couldn't help but look at the wall not far away, and saw a huge drawing on it, with an image of a young man carrying two swords on his back, looking majestic.
Next to the image is a notice offering a reward, each one clearly annotated.
The entire city is now announcing a reward for a wanted felon. This person's name is Lu Chen. He has committed a heinous crime by killing several core figures of the Shenhuo Sect. He is now wanted throughout Youzhou.
"There is a reward of 10,000 taels of gold for killing this thief and a fief of 3,000 acres of land!"
"Those who dare to tolerate criminals will have their whole family killed and sentenced to death!"
"Whoever provides information about the true whereabouts will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver, one thousand acres of fertile land, and one hundred servants!"
"Those who assist the captor will be given a prefecture-level secret book and a house!"
Seeing this, Scar couldn't help but take a breath and exclaimed: "Damn it, how much hatred and grievances does Lu Chen have with the Holy Fire Pope, and they actually offer such a generous reward!"
"Stop talking nonsense, let all the people in the carriage behind you get down and be inspected. If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot!" The soldier shouted coldly. No matter what your reason was, they all dismounted and investigated.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers waiting on the side surrounded the caravan, giving them no way to retreat.
Scar turned over and dismounted, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master, let's just forget it! It's already dark, and the people in the carriage are all little girls performing songs and dances. There's no need to go to such trouble!"
"This inspection will probably take a lot of time. Do you think it would be convenient?"
With that said, he handed over a bag of silver without leaving any trace.
When the soldier saw Scar trying to play tricks, he immediately drew out his long knife and put it against Scar's neck. He said with sharp eyes: "Don't do this to me. I order you to let the people in the carriage get down immediately. Otherwise, if you interfere with official duties, I will be punished."
Earth righteousness!"
He said something harsh, but he stretched out his hand and took the money bag from Scar's hand without any courtesy.
When Scar saw that the other party was serious, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly sneered and said: "Master Jun, we are joking with you, don't take it seriously, I will let them down right now!"
"Hurry up!" the soldier urged, drawing the knife back.
Scar had no choice but to turn around and shout at the people in the caravan: "Master, for a routine inspection, ask all the girls under you to come down!"
Seeing that the convoy had stopped, the proprietress of Qianjifang opened the curtain of the carriage and saw a circle of soldiers gathered outside. She suddenly became very nervous. With a grimace, she got out of the carriage and shouted to Scar in front of her: "Boss Yang."
, What's going on? This is it! Today is the birthday of the Lord of the City, and I promised to go there before dinner, so I can't delay it."
"It's okay, it's a routine inspection. It won't take much time. Let everyone come down and let the military men see if there is anything fishy hidden under our girls' skirts, haha!" Scar said with a smile. He travels all over the world.
I'm used to seeing big scenes outside, so naturally I won't be frightened by this little trouble.
The landlady felt a lot more at ease when she heard what the escort said. She quickly called all the girls down to be examined one by one.
The one-eyed dragon pretended by Lu Chen was no exception. He followed the guards and got off his horse, allowing these soldiers to inspect him one by one.
After seeing all the people in the carriage get out, the soldier leader was not polite and led five or six soldiers to get into the carriage and search the contents inside.
There are more than a dozen caravans in the caravan. If we search carefully, it will probably take an hour or two.
Scar watched them search and said with a smile: "Master Jun, this caravan belongs to Qianjifang. There is nothing else in it, just clothes and props for performances!"
"You should also know that today is the birthday of your city lord. Don't look at these girls. Apart from being good at singing and dancing, they can't do anything else. This performance is specially for your lord to celebrate his birthday.
, it’s too late, it’s easy to cause trouble!”
"I can't afford to be blamed if the time comes!"
"Master Jun, please help me!"
The leader of the soldiers did not say a word, but wandered back and forth between the carriages with different eyes. He checked very carefully, his expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to find nothing unusual.
Lu Chen looked at this scene with a faint smile, feeling very calm in the face of the inspection by these soldiers.
His two swords were placed together with a bunch of props, and some paint was smeared on them. They looked unremarkable at all.
Moreover, these people have never seen the appearance of these magical weapons, so how can they know the origins of these two magical swords.
After a cursory inspection, the leading general withdrew the team and did not continue the inspection.
He has heard of the singing and dancing of Qianjifang, which is quite famous in Youzhou. These girls are not only beautiful, but also good at dancing, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and song, and are proficient in everything. Many famous people are like
I like to enjoy their singing and dancing, and feel that they are very honorable. It is not surprising that the city lord asked them to come over for business performances to celebrate his birthday.
The scarred man also said that since he was congratulating the Lord of the City on his birthday, there was no way he would not give face and had to deal with official matters. If he offended some big shot, he, a little centurion, couldn't afford it.
What's more, if all the oil and water that should be fished out has been fished out, there is nothing to check.
"Let us go, don't block the gate!" The leader of the soldiers waved his hand, and the soldiers surrounding him heard the order and retreated one after another.
Scar smiled and responded: "Okay, Master Jun, let's leave right away!"
Just when Lu Chen was about to get on his horse, the soldier happened to look this way, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Wait a minute!"
When Dao Scar heard this, his face turned ugly and he said: "Master, haven't you checked everything before and you still want to keep us all overnight!"
The soldier turned a deaf ear to Scar's complaints, walked directly to Chase Lu, and shouted coldly: "Boy, take off your blindfold!"
When Lu Chen saw the other person walking towards him, he felt something was wrong. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but grinned and said: "Master Jun, what's so good about me as a one-eyed blind man? Don't you think I look like a rough man?"
Like the handsome guy on the notice!"
"Shut up, take it off as soon as I tell you, there's so much nonsense!" The soldier pulled out his long knife, his eyes were cold, and he clearly saw something in his suspicious eyes.
Seeing how serious the captain was, the surrounding soldiers surrounded him again from their originally dispersed formation.
When Scar saw this tense situation, he immediately felt bad. Then he looked at the unkempt one-eyed dragon, thought to himself a few times, and suddenly felt a drum in his heart.
Looking back and thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had met the one-eyed dragon halfway. He was not very clear about the origin of this guy. At that time, he just thought that he was a righteous man and had a chivalrous heart, so he took him on this escort trip.
The general's expression was so serious. He must have noticed something strange. Could it be that there was something wrong with the one-eyed dragon's identity?
If this is really the case, then he will be in big trouble. Tolerating criminals will lead to the crime of being implicated. Now when he is arrested by the officers and soldiers, he will have to peel off his skin if he does not die. The more Scar thinks about it, the more and more something is wrong. Cold sweat is pouring from his forehead and his palms are wet.
It's sweaty.
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He looked around and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The soldiers around him were filled with murderous intent and were ready to kill if they disagreed.
With his strength, if he wants to take action, let alone these 40 or 50 people, he will not be afraid even if those innate masters come over.
It's just that the situation is complicated now. It's important to leave Youzhou. He doesn't want to reveal his identity. In desperation, he has to take off the blindfold to reveal half of his blindfolded eye.
After taking off the blindfold, the cold-faced general looked over carefully and found that Lu Chen was indeed blind in this eye. There was no eyeball on it, only a flesh scab that had healed for a long time, and there were flesh bumps everywhere, which was particularly disgusting and ugly.
.
"Fuck, it's so disgusting, get out of here!" The soldier glanced at it and stopped looking. He turned around and passed Lu Chen. He felt that if he looked at it one more time, he would have nightmares at night, with a look of disgust on his face.
Chase Lu smiled: "Okay, Master Jun!"
When Scar saw that everything was alright, he was relieved. He had been so frightened just now that it almost scared him out of his mind.
"It's okay, let's go and celebrate the birthday of the great man in the city!" The one-eyed dragon put on his eye mask and couldn't help laughing loudly, he was in a very good mood.
You know, in order to pretend to be a one-eyed dragon, he spent a lot of effort to disguise himself. The part with the blind one eye was made of dead human skin, treated with a special method, and then tightly attached.
Most people can't tell the difference.
Simply, I passed the checkpoint without any danger along the way.
