Cen Pojing will temporarily station the army in Jinlin County, and wait until the prisoners are settled, the military discipline is rectified, and the food and grass supplies are sufficient before sending troops.

Originally, I was worried about the lack of food and grass.

After the three cities and one pass were captured in Leizhou, this worry disappeared, because every city in Leizhou had sufficient food and grass, high-quality weapons, and very fat horses.Leizhou is indeed very well prepared for the coming of the war, and Yan Wangjun is in vain.

This time, Cen Po, Jing Chiheng and others have also learned to be good, and they will no longer be hasty and reckless.In addition to inquiring about Gu Zhaochuan's letters and newspapers in detail, they also collected a group of ordinary people who were familiar with Shicheng, explained the advantages and disadvantages of Shicheng clearly, and explained Shicheng in detail for Cen Pojing and other generals.

And Chi Heng came to Shicheng alone, to find out first.

In March, spring is everywhere.Zhilan diffuses fragrance.On the top of the earthen wall, peaches and apricots are competing for beauty, and in the field, golden pheasants roam around.

Chi Heng's old clothes are fast horses, covered in green and red.

Not long after, Chi Heng led his horse and whip, and looked up at the majestic stone city in front of him - this city was said to be extremely difficult to capture, and now he knew the reason at a glance.Chi Heng has never seen a city built on such a high place. Looking from west to east, the stone city is built on high stones.On the east side, Shicheng leans against the steep stone mountain.

In spring, the stone mountains are dyed green, and the colorful flags of the stone city are flying.

In such a city, ladders and catapults are useless, and it is wishful thinking to rely on soldiers to climb the walls to attack, and even the walls of the city cannot be reached.If you want to attack hard, you can only fight fiercely again. Thinking of this, Chi Heng can't help but break out in cold sweat.

The closer to Shicheng, the more lively it is.

Passing by a market, bustling.Although the war hooves had already entered Leizhou, the common people were helpless, they dared to do whatever they wanted, they heard scolding Yan Wangjun and Yan Luan along the way, Chi Heng just ignored it.In his heart, he longed for a peaceful life.

Leizhou is different from Yizhou Yuanzhou.

Leizhou is very rich.

Since the Yuanxi Rebellion, Yizhou and Yuanzhou have been in power by many people, so they have been plundered again and again, and the people are in dire straits.However, Leizhou has always been under the control of the Luo family, defending against powerful enemies from the outside, developing all kinds of businesses on the inside, and the people's livelihood is extremely prosperous.Chi Heng stayed in an ordinary family, and the food on the table was extremely rich, including fish and meat, and even ignorant children played around his knees, and it suddenly seemed that the world was peaceful and prosperous.

Seeing that the gray dress on Chi Heng's body was torn, the master specially picked out a half-worn silk dress as a gift for him.

No mercy at all.

Touching the smooth silk, Chi Heng thought, no wonder Hua Yan said that most of the silk went to Leizhou.This is true for ordinary people, let alone wealthy people——Luo Jinghan really has the right way to govern the state, but unfortunately, he was born in troubled times.If it is a prosperous age, it should be a blessing for one party!

While thinking, Chi Heng took his leave, and before he went out, he saw several people gathered around the hitching post, his big snow-green horse hissing.Those few people were all dressed as sergeants, and they all had thick shoulders and round waists.

Chi Heng was startled.

I wonder if it was discovered?

Seeing him come out, those people looked over together.Chi Heng immediately calmed down, because he saw a noble young man standing among them.

The boy looked 20 years old, with a clear face, fair skin, thin eyelids, thin lips, and a very gorgeous long green dress, but at this time he was leaning against the snow-green horse, with his back against the wall, holding a long sword in his hand. Jian, with a frightened face, said sharply, "If you come here, I will kill myself!"

Those people hesitated for a moment.

Chi Heng yelled: "Hey! It doesn't matter if you bully more or less!" Instinctively touched, his waist was empty, and he secretly screamed that it was not good.In order to avoid trouble, he deliberately didn't bring a knife, which is good.

But that's it.

Chi Heng picked up the big hoe in the yard and strode over.

Seeing this, the sergeants sneered a few times, surrounded them, drew out the knives around their waists and waved them towards Chi Heng.Seeing this, Chi Heng was the first to catch people, and he swung his hoe vigorously, and even swung it with an incomparably fierce aura, making it hard for people to get close to him.

Soon it was hard to tell.

The owner ran out when he heard the sound, and when he saw a fight started, he yelled and shouted, which only made the neighbors yell.Seeing this situation, the sergeant hit him a few times indiscriminately, and left quickly with hatred, and soon disappeared.

Chi Heng put down the hoe, feeling a little puzzled.

Because judging from the fight, although those sergeants were fierce, they didn't exert all their strength to kill them.And judging from the swearing, they only wanted to capture that noble young master, not kill him, and they were still in awe of him.

See those people go.

The noble young master immediately got out from between the wall and the snowy green horse, stepped forward and looked at Chi Heng carefully, his almond eyes seemed to be filled with water: "You saved me!"

Chi Heng smiled: "It's a little effort."

"what's your name?"

"Ah Heng, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Chu. Can you send me to Shicheng? I'm afraid that if I meet those people again, there will be trouble again." Mr. Chu touched his sleeve, but he didn't find any silver. Pulling out the emerald green hairpin, he handed it to Chi Heng, "This is a thank you gift!"

Green hairpins seem to be very valuable.

But Chi Heng didn't answer, and said: "I can't enter Shicheng." Shicheng is heavily guarded, interrogation is very frequent, Chi Heng is not good at lying and adapting to changes, he was kicked out twice after entering, so he can only wander around Shicheng.

But Mr. Chu said: "It's okay." His eyes were burning with energy, not to mention the fear just now.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Chi Heng was overjoyed, pretending to see him cheap, happily took the green hairpin, and asked him why he was being chased by all the soldiers.Young Master Chu was furious, but he didn't elaborate, he only vaguely answered how many people he had offended on the road.

Chi Heng didn't think much about it.

Riding on a snowy green horse with Mr. Chu, we went to Shicheng with a whip.The spring scenery in March was wonderful, Mr. Chu was silent and taciturn along the way, with an unresolved melancholy between his brows, and sighed from time to time, which made people tremble.Fortunately, he was born well, which is quite distressing.

After walking all the way, Chi Heng became depressed.

The stone city was tall and there were two people on its back. Chi Heng felt sorry for Xue Qingma, so he got down and walked for a while.Can't be relatively silent, Chi Heng must say some interesting things to make Mr. Chu smile and suspend his sorrow.

When he was free, Chi Heng also asked him what he was worried about, but he kept his mouth shut.

Knowing that he was guarded by nature, Chi Heng didn't bother to ask any more, and just went on his way wholeheartedly, and then wrote down what he saw and heard along the way.

Arrived at the gate of Shicheng.

The inspecting sergeant quickly noticed the two of them, stepped forward to question them, and saw Mr. Chu took out a sign. The soldier immediately showed respect when he saw it, and let them go immediately.

It went surprisingly smoothly, and Chi Heng jokingly asked, "Young Master Chu, what brand is yours that works so well? If I had known earlier, I would have imitated one too."

Young Master Chu smiled and said nothing.

Shicheng was even more lively, probably because of some festival, there were too many people, rubbing shoulders, it was a noise that Chi Heng had never seen before.Mr. Chu probably thought there were too many people, so he led Chi Heng into a quiet alley with few people.

Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but felt something was wrong.I saw Mr. Chu pressed his fingers to his lips, and a whistle resounded.

Chi Heng was wondering.

Suddenly dozens of people appeared from nowhere, they all surrounded Young Master Chu and Chi Heng.

Looking at the formation of these people, all of them are still dressed as Leizhou sergeants, and all of them are holding excellent spears, and the spears are all aimed at Chi Heng, and none of them are aimed at Mr. Chu.

Chi Heng was startled, suddenly came to his senses, and glared at Young Master Chu: "My surname is Chu, I kindly saved you, why did you frame me!"

Could it be that Mr. Chu recognized himself?

Chi Heng's various ideas popped up, and he was immediately rejected. It's impossible, not to mention his dusty appearance, and he was extremely careful in his words just now. He was afraid of revealing his identity. How would Mr. Chu know?Could it be that he has seen himself?

Mr. Chu smiled slightly.

His smile was just a twitch of his lips, and his brows were still slightly wrinkled, very reluctantly, but also melancholy: "Aheng, you are Yan Wangjun's man—"

really.

Chi Heng gritted his teeth secretly, and still said, "I'm not, I'm just greedy for your hairpin."

"Don't say no. Ordinary people, how can there be a cocoon in one hand? It stands to reason that you should be sent to the government. Nian saved me, and sent you all the way. Today, I will let you out, and never step into Shicheng again." Young Master Chu waved his sleeves and drifted away.

It turned out that he only saw his own soldiers.

As soon as Mr. Chu left, those dozens of people immediately forced them over.Just now, if Chi Heng had passed by with a big hand, he would have been able to restrain Mr. Chu, but there is really no need for that.Since Mr. Chu intends to "repay his kindness", he can do whatever he wants.
