A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1181

[Chapter 1171 Cold Night Killing Intent]

Chengdu is the heart of Xichuan, and Chengdu Fucheng is the first city in Xichuan. This ancient city has never lost its vitality. Moreover, as the commercial center of Xichuan, merchants from south to north are constantly coming and going in Chengdu Fucheng.

Xichuan is rich in products, and a large number of merchants will purchase goods from Xichuan and transport them to the east, and also bring a wide variety of goods from other places. It is precisely because of such commercial exchanges that Chengdu has maintained prosperity since Xichuan was incorporated into the empire.

In addition to the caravans entering and leaving every day, naturally there are also teams of bodyguards that come and go.

The prosperity of commerce and trade is doomed to the prosperity of Xichuan Escort. There are no less than dozens of escort shops in Chengdu City. Even Changping Escort, one of the three major escorts in Beijing, has a semicolon in Chengdu.

However, no matter how numerous the caravans were, when Chengdu Fucheng arrived at the garrison, the gates of the city had to be closed, and even for a moment at night, they could only stay outside the city.

The gates of Chengdu Fucheng are all guarded by the guards directly under the prefecture’s office. The general in charge of the South City Gate is called Yang Lin. Those who have really killed people on the battlefield are in awe of him.

Yang Lin rarely talks to people, and is introverted. No one can understand his thoughts, but no one under his command has ever dared to disobey his orders.

At the time of Hai, although there were many laughter and laughter in the city, the city gate was dead silent. Eight gatekeepers on duty guarded the south gate. Yang Lin was extremely strict with his subordinates. If there was a fire in the house, then you have to keep your post honestly. As the soldiers and horses directly under the jurisdiction of the governor, every soldier is carefully selected, not only brave and good at fighting, but also abiding by military discipline.

Yang Lin was sitting on a chair behind the city gate. Although it was already night, he was still in good spirits and had a good eye. There was a small table next to it, with a bag of fried peanuts on it. Reach out, hold a peanut with both hands, and then skillfully squeeze the peanut shell, the two peanuts roll into the palm of your hand, loosen the hand, and the peanut shell falls on the table, then raise your hand and put the peanut into your mouth .

Everyone knows that this is Yang Yajiang’s hobby. There are few people in the army who don’t drink alcohol, but Yang Yajiang is one of them. It seems that peanuts are more attractive to Yang Yajiang than fine wine.

As winter approaches, the night in Xichuan is already quite cold, and the officers and soldiers who guard the gate have already put on autumn clothes. Okay, autumn clothes are very warm enough to withstand the cold at night.

“Tooth general, there is a team approaching outside the city.” Someone at the head of the city shouted, “Light the torches, there are a lot of people.”

Yang Ya crushed the peanuts in his hand, waited until he put the peanuts in his mouth, then stood up slowly, tidied up his armor, turned to the wall ladder and went up to the top of the city, approached the battlements, and looked down the city, Guo saw a team approaching the city.

There was still a short distance from the city gate, and the team stopped just then, but the soldiers at the front of the city could see clearly. There were about seven or eight carriages in the team pulling the goods, and they were still holding the flag of darts, but it was a team of darts. There are about 20 people in the team, which is not a small number for a bodyguard team.

“Tooth general, looking at the flag, it seems to be the Yiwei Escort.” A soldier said.

Yang Yajiang nodded and shouted at the following: “Is it the Yiwei Escort?”

“Is it General Yang Ya?” Someone in front of the team said with a smile: “It’s Lu Yi, is General Yang Ya on duty again tonight?”

Yang Yajiang coughed and said, “Boss Lu, I heard that your eldest apprentice has been sent out for dart trips recently. Why do you want you to escort yourself this time?”

“To be honest with General Yang Ya, this escort was ordered by a noble in the capital. I was worried that something might go wrong, so I went there in person.” The chief escort Lu seemed to be quite familiar with the officers and soldiers guarding the city: “Hurry up. Hurry up, you’re still missing the hour.”

Yang Ya said: “Where the rules are, there is no way,

Captain Lu’s escort team can only stay outside the city for one night, and enter the city early in the morning.

”

“Yang Yajiang, this trip has been very hard, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone is exhausted.” Director Lu smiled bitterly: “I know the rules, but this time I want to use this old face, please Teeth will be lenient and let us go home earlier.”

Yang Lin frowned and said, “You are also from Chengdu. You know the rules here, how can you make an exception?”

“General Yang Ya, to be honest, this batch of goods was sent by Master Dou, the Minister of Household Affairs in the capital, so I don’t dare to delay.” Mr. Lu bowed his head and said, “In the face of Master Dou, I also ask General Yang to be accommodating. .”

“Master Dou?” Yang Lin was a little surprised, and the soldier beside him whispered: “General Ya, Master Dou is a high-ranking member of the court. If you really offend him, then…!”

Yang Lin snorted coldly, pondered for a while, and then said, “What kind of goods are they?”

“General Ya can send someone to check.” Director Lu said.

Yang Lin said, “Come, two people, come with me.”

At the moment, the two soldiers followed Yang Lin down the city, opened the side door, and walked out of the city. Lu Yi had already stepped forward and said, “There is work and work!”

Yang Lin didn’t talk nonsense. He walked to the side of the convoy and got to the third car. He ordered the escort to lift the rain cover covering it. There were three large boxes under it. Yang Lin ordered to open one of the boxes, A soldier beside him winked, the soldier stepped forward, stretched out his hand to search inside, and then turned around and said, “General Teeth, there are some leathers inside.”

“fur?”

The head guard Lu smiled slightly, leaned closer to Yang Lin and said in a low voice: “General Ya, Master Dou is quite wealthy, and there are also several shops in Chengdu, but the old man didn’t want to be too public, so he hired a team of guards to escort them. The goods are here to be shot here, so please don’t spread the word about it.”

“Oh?” Yang Lin swept a few other cars: “Are they all leather goods to be sold?”

“It’s good to have some calligraphy and painting and so on.” Director Lu said, “Do you want to check the teeth one by one?”

Yang Lin thought for a while before saying, “After entering the city, don’t disturb people, just go back secretly.”

Officer Lu hurriedly said: “Thank you for your accommodating.” He took a bag and stuffed it into Yang Lin’s arms: “Ya Jiang, I’ll give the brothers some wine to eat.” This bag is quite a lot of silver, Yang Lin He casually threw it to the soldiers next to him, and instructed: “The brothers on duty at night will distribute a copy to each of them, so that everyone can keep quiet. After all, this is the goods of Master Dou, and we can’t block the things of Master Dou.”

The soldier hurriedly said, “Yes!” He thought that Mr. Dou was a high-ranking member of the court and there were a few guards in the city. If Mr. Dou was annoyed, he could crush this group of people to death by pressing his fingers. There is no way to do so.

Immediately after opening the city gate, Yang Ya will immediately close the city gate after letting the convoy into the city, and the bag of silver taels is also distributed to the soldiers.

After Director Lu led the convoy into the city, he immediately dispersed the convoy. The six carriages with more than 20 people were divided into four groups, and the dart flags were put away. When the other teams left, Director Lu led the four. The five turned down a secluded road.

There are many security bureaus and restaurants in Chengdu.

Chengdu people love to eat, and they can eat it, so restaurants can be said to be everywhere, from small food stalls with two or three low tables to large restaurants with luxurious decorations on three or four floors.

Shuijing Street is one of the many streets in Chengdu. This street is not too lively, but Xiqingfang on this street is one of the largest restaurants in the city. Not only is the four-story main building with magnificent eaves, but also the front courtyard. The backyard station area is extremely open.

It’s just that Xiqing Building has been closed since yesterday, and it is said that it is going to be renovated, so there are no customers coming to the door for the past two days.

In the dark of night, Chief Guard Lu led two carriages to the back door of Xiqing Building. The door was knocked on the door twice, and soon someone opened the door. Chief Guard Lu headed into the courtyard. It was Mr. Huang, an adviser to the king of Shu, Li Hongxin.

Officer Lu bowed his hands to Mr. Huang, and said in a low voice, “Sir, all six carriages have entered the city, and they are protected by Yang Lin, and everything is fine.”

Mr. Huang turned around and said solemnly: “Bring the things in the car in.” Immediately, more than ten people emerged from the darkness to go out to carry the boxes, and General Lu said again: “The other three roads are heading here. Get together, and within half an hour, you will be able to arrive. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com”

Mr. Huang said: “You have made the first contribution, and after it is done, the prince will definitely reward it heavily.”

“Our Lu family has been favored by the prince for many years, and we have always thought that we can repay one day. To be able to serve the prince this time is a long-cherished wish in this life, even if we die.” Lu Yi said solemnly: “This time, I have made the security guard brave and loyal. The escorts have all been transferred over, and if Mr. sends you, we will not frown on the mountain of swords and the sea of fire.”

Mr. Huang took Lu Yi’s arm and said, “You come with me.”

This Xiqingfang didn’t have a few lights on, and it looked very dim. Lu Yi followed behind Mr. Huang, but found that there were shadows moving in the houses around the yard, and there were obviously many people hiding inside.

Entering a room, only to see that there are already a dozen or so people in the room. After Lu Yi entered the room, everyone turned their attention to it. Lu Yi knew that this was under the heart of the King of Shu, and bowed his hands to everyone. Seeing a lonely lamp on the table, a black armored general stood by the table, looked at Lu Yi, and said with a smile, “Mr. Lu, we have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Lu Yi stepped forward and said, “General Dai, fortunately not to be disgraced!”

The black armored general was Dai Ling, who was placed by Li Hongxin. He nodded slightly, and then said to the people around him: “Everyone, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days can be used for a while, and the prince is like reborn parents to us. If there is no prince, we will also I can’t live like this person is now. In order to protect the military and civilians in Chengdu, the prince submitted a surrender form to the state of Chu. , You yourself understand why they let the prince enter the capital for what purpose.”

Everyone’s eyes were full of fierce light, and one of them sneered: “I have been holding back for so many years, and every day I think about chopping off Wei Shutong’s bastard head with a knife. The Chu State has been on our head for more than twenty years. I can finally spit out the stuffy breath in my chest.”
