The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 497 "Master, the store does not owe you credit."

When approaching the gate of the city, Yan Chixia saw a group of people standing upright with their eyes like torches.

They look fierce and fierce, but passers-by have no fear of them, and some even say hello to them.

And these soldiers also nodded and smiled back, but their feet did not move half a step, like a pillar rooted in the ground.

"What an elite soldier~!"

Yan Chixia was amazed.

In addition to the gate of the city, he found that there were also soldiers patrolling and inspecting on the top of the city.

"However, are the conditions of these soldiers so good?!"

Why do you say that?
Yan Chixia found that these soldiers were all well-built men, unlike the old and young, withered, and thin men he saw in other places;
What's even more outrageous is that all of them are wearing uniform half-body leather armor, holding fine steel spears and short knives on their waists.

Especially the fine steel long spear, not only the head of the gun is glowing with a cold metal light, but even the body of the gun is cast in one piece of fine steel...

It's not that Yan Chixia has never seen this kind of extravagant outfit, but it's only for people with a first-class general status. Looking at the situation here, can even an ordinary soldier have such luxurious equipment? !

"Is the armed situation here so abundant??"

With such doubts in mind, Yan Chixia entered the city inquiringly.

The soldiers just glanced at him from head to toe, and stopped paying attention to him. They neither questioned his background nor asked for an entry fee.

But Yan Chixia felt very uncomfortable.

Because the eyes of those soldiers, when looking at him, were on his throat, orbital throat, armpits, and heart.The navel and other vital parts of the human body stayed, and even the root of the descendants was swept away, which made Yan Chixia's heart feel cold.

From this, Yan Chixia judged.

"This kind of look...is not a silver pewter gun head, but a veteran soldier!!"

But after entering the city, Yan Chixia immediately found that the situation in the city seemed to be different from what she had seen before.

Of course, he couldn't tell where it was different.

I just feel that in a small county town, not only the city gate is very grand, but even the prosperity is far higher than that of Fucheng.

What catches his eyes is the row upon row of various shops, showing a sense of regular and orderly arrangement, and the sound of hawking can be heard endlessly. Yan Chixia can't help but be infected by the lively and warm atmosphere.

"This is what the people of the prosperous age look like~!"

"The military equipment is sufficient, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the county magistrate here is very talented!"

"It's just, how did such a talented person become a county magistrate in such a small place?"

After Yan Chixia thought about it, she came up with the answer.

"...Hmph! It must have been framed by a traitor again, and relegated here..."

"However, it's not bad to benefit one side here. It's better than talking to those guys in the capital!"

Yan Chixia, who was in a happy mood, went to the tavern with a smile.

As he walked and watched, he felt more and more powerful about this county magistrate.

This road is compacted and smooth, and it is very hard to step on. It is not the kind of muddy dirt road.

There is no rubbish and filth piled up on the street, these merchants spontaneously throw it into a green bucket; and all of them are neat and fresh, even if it is very ordinary clothes, it is clean and has no peculiar smell.

Instead, it's me——

When Yan Chixia saw a child walking by her side, she slapped her hand vigorously, bared her teeth and ran away.

"Do I stink?!"

Yan Chixia found the tavern and handed the wine gourd to the clerk.

However, he thought it was normal to ask questions, coupled with his big beard and burning eyes, no matter how you looked at it, it had nothing to do with the word "good guy".

Xiaoer's eyes moved left and right, but he didn't see the person he expected, so he said cautiously:
"How can you?! Grandpa, you are manly..."

Then stopped.

Yan Chixia stared, and urged: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and drink!"

Xiaoer said: "...Master, the store does not owe you credit."

Yan Chixia's voice became louder: "What, you think I'm free?!"

Seeing Xiao Er's embarrassing expression, but still not moving, Yan Chixia put her hands in her arms angrily.

Xiaoer's eyes narrowed, is he going to draw a knife? ~
At this time, his eyes lit up, and he saw the person he was expecting.

Taking a step back, he shouted loudly, "Third Lord..."

"Slap!~"

Seeing one or two pieces of silver falling on the table, Xiao Er looked at someone who had come over, feeling apprehensive, and couldn't help but cast a resentful glance at Yan Chixia.

If you have money, take it out as soon as possible~!

This time I misunderstood.

Liu San was normally leading a team to patrol the street, when he heard shouts suddenly, he led people there.

"Little Mantou, what are you calling me for?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Chixia.

Xiao Er smiled and said: "Third Master, there is no urgent matter, but the store has developed a new taste of wine. I know that you are welcome, Third Master. No, I would like you to taste it first and comment on it."

Liu San made a "grunt" in his throat.

He is a good drinker.

However, he didn't have any money before, and the wine he could drink tasted just like that.

But since he joined the [Taiping Army] and received the military salary, especially the military salary is quite a lot, no, Jiu Chonger can't hold back~!

In the beginning, he was beaten many times because of drinking too much, and then his memory grew.

However, the wines on the market are getting better and better...

Liu San glared at Xiao Er angrily.

"Little Mantou, are you using your third master as a brush?!"

"Knowing that I'm still on duty..."

The little mantou exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Ouch~! Third master, how dare I?!"

"I mean, after you change your guard, I'll say hello to you first. I'll keep this new wine for you."

Liu San said with satisfaction: "It's not too bad."

Xiao Mantou handed Yan Chixia wine gourd and a few copper coins, which were already full when he spoke just now.

"Guest officer, your wine is ready!~"

"This...you need to talk too much, you should wash up..."

"Our wine is a must. If your smell washes away the aroma of the wine, wouldn't it be a waste?!"

Yan Chixia stared, snorted, and ignored him.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Liu San.

"I'm Liu San, the chief of this county, this brother is a freshman, is this your first time here?"

"What? You don't welcome outsiders?!" Yan Chixia raised her eyes and said.

No way, this Liu San is a few inches taller than him.

"That's not true, it's just that the rules here are different from those in other places. It's the first time you come to Xiongtai, so I'm afraid you won't get used to it."

"I see that Xiongtai is carrying a sword, so he should be from the Jianghu. There is a rule, let me remind Xiongtai first..."

"In this county, homicide is a crime!"

At the end, Liu San stared at Yan Chixia solemnly.

Yan Chixia became interested and asked back:
"That's a good rule!"

"It's just that if it can be done, there won't be so many wanted criminals on the official list."

"What if Jiang Yang's bandit fled to another place after committing a murder?!"

Hearing this, the scene tensed up.

Liu San immediately clenched his weapon tightly, and the twenty soldiers behind him also turned sideways quietly, their weapons drawn out at any time.

Staring at Yan Chixia, Liu San said in a deep voice:
"Since the establishment of the [Taiping Army], no one has escaped successfully!"

"Brother, speak carefully!"

………………

Liu San, a soldier in the army, was fond of wine and brave, and bearded guests were suspicious of him and provoked each other with words.
