Sword Pawn Crossing River

At dusk twelve days later, the tall and towering city wall of Shining Night appeared in front of you, but the city gate was closed. This is not a normal phenomenon. I think it is also related to the current Shining Night’s complex competition for imperial power. It’s not a local outsider. The investigation is very strict, this is to prevent criminals with dissidents from gathering inside, even if this is the case for ordinary persons, as for the organized entry of the army into the city, it is even more difficult to even think about it.

Lou Xiaoyi didn’t fight for this time, so he found a bigger Inn nearby. The general house was already full, so he had to be taken advantage of and bought a cross-housing.

Fortunately, the service here is attentive, not like those shops who are lazy to give you saliva, take a shower, change clothes, change the suit, what to do and drink, now Shining Night City, the most convenient way to get in and out is them. Scholars with fame and fame do not take precautions because they do not have a military force value. The others are a caravan, with dozens of people and horses, and only a few people can go in. The others have to wait outside the city.

The change of imperial power is imminent, so you can't be too careful.

When it’s getting late, after having dinner, and the guys are all free, Lou Xiaoyi called a look at a more clever guy, and he passed a silver corner, and the guy immediately fell into the bamboo tube. Just like beans, I vomit what I know, and there is nothing to hide, because what he knows is nothing terribly secret. It's all the omniscient news of Shining Night locals, but for the newcomer Lou Xiaoyi, But it is very important, not like a blind.

In the early morning of the second day, Lou Xiaoyi woke up early. He didn't want to waste precious time on queuing. As soon as it was dimly lit, he started to move towards the city gate and walked out. , I realized that oneself is not even the first one to get up. The black crowd almost squeezed the large city gate of Shining Night.

Lou Xiaoyi immediately realized oneself’s mistake, he should not go to the west gate, but should find a side door; Shining Night has four main city gates: East, South, West, and North, apart from this and With nine access doors, the city is too big, and the four main cities are simply not enough.

Among them, the three main city gates in the northwest and east are the most crowded because they have direct access to the highway. For example, the south gate and the nine access doors are much better, but they are all here, so you have to try .

The West City Lord gate is very wide, and the main gate is not open as usual. It is the Imperial Family’s special road, or for military use; the common people can only go six sides of the main gate. At the gate, the crowds also lined up at these six side gates.

The guards are especially strict. Lou Xiaoyi has visually observed that there are hundreds of soldiers at the city gate. This does not include those who cannot be seen on the city wall. The helmets are bright and the discipline is strict. It is worthy of the defense of the country. Of elite soldiers.

Sweeping my eyes, I know how to distinguish the six long teams. Two of them are local farmers outside the city who are carrying responsibilities. They enter the city early for their livelihood. This is also true. The two teams with the largest number of people are the passages for civilians to enter and exit, and they are also the teams with stricter inspections. The baskets must be turned over, and the protection is for someone to bring swords privately.

There is also a team that takes caravans, camel teams and horse teams, and they are in an endless stream. They are the most severely checked, whether it is people or goods,

The other three are It is relatively rare, for officials, public officials, private convoys of various aristocrats and nobles to transport supplies, scholars and a series of people with identities,

Lou Xiaoyi chose a passage for scholars to enter and exit. , He probably estimated that this one should be the most appropriate in the case of oneself.

But the other scholars passed easily, but he was stopped here. An Armored Soldier with an officer’s top helmet came over and took him from the soldier’s hand. Write his basic information, mainly whether he has a criminal record, his professional fame and other simple things, which are stamped by the General Secretary of the Popular City Government to be effective.

I didn’t see any doubts, but the officer saw that the scholar in front of him was a little different from other scholars. There was a spirit of high spirits in the elegance. He was not just a nerd who knew how to study; he guarded the city. The gate has been around for a long time, naturally there will be a pair of poisonous eyes, who should check who does not need, I know.

"What is it so expensive for Young Master to enter the city? In special times, the investigation is a little stricter, Young Master, don't blame it!"

The officer is very polite, although it is close and does not indicate the opponent's relatives Born, because Lou Residence is indeed not a member of the officialdom now, but from his impression alone, the officer knows that such a person cannot be imitated by ordinary poor people. It is a kind of attitude of everyone, even in the face of dozens of fully armed. Soldiers did not have the slightest expression of panic and restraint. Generally, such people are those who usually give orders. In their opinion, soldiers are no different from their servants.

"Vote for relatives!" Lou Xiaoyi answered very concisely.

"Is it wrong to come to Shining Night to join in this period?" It is not a secret that the emperor is critically ill at Shining Night. A reasonable person will not choose this time to come to the capital. It's not very suitable. If it's just a nerd who doesn't listen to the world, the officer won't ask about this, but since it has a background, how can you not know the importance of it? Since it is still coming, it must be purposeful.

"It is precisely because of this special period that I was ordered to come to Shining Night. I am lazy to come at another time!" Lou Xiaoyi knew what the other party wanted to know, and he had nothing to hide. Pure family love, why bother to engage in mysterious and secretive, arousing people's suspicion?

"oh?" The officer was surprised. Generally, everyone would subconsciously avoid this question. This person without the slightest hesitation. From this point of view, this person has no problem, but his curiosity is again Prompted him to ask.

"I don't know where Young Master voted for He Mansion? Where did it come from? Who's the order?"

Lou Xiaoyi frowned, but still be patient. This is a business matter. Who makes him look special? It would be nice if I knew how to dress down.

"Chengnan Shanzhengfang, Fenwei General Residence, that is my Second Uncle; I was ordered by my mother, the wife of the former Marshal Lou Family, the first-class wife is here, but now the official I don’t even admit that I don’t know...what else does the general want to know?"

The officer was in awe. Marshal Lou was a famous figure in Shining Night Country, even if he left. Over the years, he has done mixed reputations, but he has a reputation. With the official system of Shining Night Country, he was a person who only covered the court for a long time. Until now, the ownership of the throne, Marshal, can be said. Yes, it's another matter to say or not.

"Admit it, admit it! It turned out to be Young Master Lou. Of course, this kind of relatives can be explored too much... But Young Master, the Shining Night city management is relatively strict recently, and it may be the same as the previous song and dance. It’s not the same. Many young masters in luxury houses stay at home obediently and honestly and never go anywhere, Young Master..."

Lou Xiaoyi smiled, "I know, I’m here to persuade Second. Uncle goes to Popular City to disperse the wind and breathe air. Is this place nice?"

The officer laughed and helped Lou Xiaoyi lead the horse. The two walked through the long corridor together, whispering:

"Young Master can see it clearly! It is worthy of the true inheritance of Lou Residence. For something like this, why do I wait for a nobody of Sesame Mung Bean to mix in it? Go!"

Lou Xiaoyi was half joking, "What is the name of the general? Have a chance to find you for a drink! This is my first visit to Shining Night. I’m not familiar with the place. If something happens, there must be someone. An acquaintance opened the door for me and let me escape!"

The officer laughed heartily, he felt that this Lou Residence Young Master was very temperamental, without the sour and rotten temperament of those literati,

" Contempt for surnamed Ling, but it’s a small city gate captain, so I dare not call it a general!

It’s okay to drink with me. I live in the Lanxiangfang guard camp, but I'm afraid it won't work if I want to open the door, this place is not for me to say it alone!"
