Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 5 City Gate Conflict, Each Takes a Step Back

After the rain, the sky clears up, and when you move the clouds to see the sun, you can see a rainbow.

Originally Chen Ci planned to ride in a carriage with Murong Tong and Yu Xiong, taking advantage of this to get closer.After all, I live in Guangling, and Murong Tong is a coward, so it will be easier to do things after I make friends with him, but Murong Tong refused, saying that now there are unavoidable people with ulterior motives in the dark, the son-in-law should not be too ostentatious, otherwise the assassin will take advantage of the loopholes, All previous efforts have been wasted, and it is difficult for him to go back and explain, so the statement can only be returned to the carriage.

"Husband, I saw that you had a good conversation with that general. Is he your childhood playmate?" The princess asked softly, and she was not surprised, after all, she was about to enter Guangling, which was her husband's hometown.

"That's not true." He began to explain the identities of Murong Tong and Yu Xiong.

"Husband, you have changed."

"Oh? Has it changed?" Chen Ci's heart beat faster, he had tried his best to imitate the tone of the original Chen Ci, could it be that he was still discovered?Chen Ci was flustered, he put his arms around the princess' shoulders calmly, and pretended to laugh: "Oh, maybe it's just recovering from a serious illness. Face, we are safe in Guangling."

The princess lay in Chen Ci's arms, her pretty face blushed, and she said weakly: "Husband, you have never acted like this before... eh, frivolity?"

"Hahaha."

On the first day of recovering from a serious illness, when the beautiful wife was in her arms, and at the wedding night in the bridal chamber, there are three great happy events in life.

But now, the statement directly occupied both of them for nothing.

God, God, you must have seen me act bravely and die tragically on the street, and you must use another way to compensate me?
Chen Ci silently made up his mind that since he was living a new life, he must display all his ambitions, not to mention that he was assassinated by the Dongying people for no reason. If he didn't take revenge, what would happen?
Thirty miles away, half a day will arrive.In the afternoon, many people gradually appeared on the wide official road, carrying game, animal skins, melons and fruits, but saw more than 300 mighty soldiers coming on horseback, especially many soldiers They were still carrying the corpse, their scalps were numb, and they had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

The city inspector was yawning and fishing out of boredom, but when he saw the solemn military convoy, he staggered in fright, ran down the platform in a hurry, walked up to Yu Xiong and Murong Tong, knelt down and saluted: "Guangling Beiguan City Patrol Army Admiral Xiao Long, pay respects to His Royal Highness, and General Yu."

Yu Xiong waved his hand, "Bring up the bodies of those Dongying people and hang them under the tower."

Xiao Long took a deep breath when he heard the words, Dongying people?When he saw the eleven shocking corpses brought up by many soldiers, he felt horrified, but he did not dare to neglect the military order, so he could only bite the bullet and let go, watching those soldiers hang the eleven corpses on the tower Before that, many common people secretly pointed and commented.

Yu Xiong sneered in his heart, of course he knew that many dignitaries in Guangling City and even some people with some official positions in the army had more or less received the favor of the Dongying people, this is not a secret.After all, Dongying people are barbarians and foreigners. If they want to do business in Guangling, they need to establish relationships. The so-called money can make ghosts work. Maybe this Xiao Long was invited to enjoy the brothel opened by Dongying people.

Soon, a total of eleven corpses were hung by the soldiers with ropes and hung on the tower.

Some of them were even dripping with blood.

Yu Xiong took out his token and ordered: "Remember, without my military order, no one is allowed to take down these corpses without permission, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with."

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Long apologized with a flattering face.

Maybe it was because of too much commotion. At this time, the inner and outer sides of Beiguan City Gate were full of people joining in the fun. The crowd suddenly retreated like a tide, and there were only a dozen men in loose kimonos, clogs on their feet, and long knives on their waists. Coming here, the most eye-catching thing is their hairstyles, the middle hair is shaved off, it looks very funny and weird, Japanese people.They are not tall, about six or seven feet, but they all have sullen faces, as if they are suppressing their anger.

Some people took pleasure in other people's misfortune, and said that there was excitement to watch.

"It's him?"

Murong Feng and Yu Xiong looked at each other, both a little surprised.

The tall man at the head of this group of Dongying people is the senior brother of Xiaoqianye Kendo Gym, and his name is Uesugi.This person is quite famous in Guangling. When he first entered Guangling to open a martial arts gym two years ago, he spent tens of thousands of dollars to set up a ring, intending to challenge the strongest person in Guangling.Of course, this move aroused the anger of both people and gods. Many tyrants and family members came here admiringly, wanting to kill the vigor of this Dongying man, but all of them ended in disastrous failure. , is definitely not a person who is trying to catch fame.

Yu Xiong was in a daze for a while, and quickly recovered his composure: "Hehe, I didn't look for you, but you came here on your own initiative?"

The atmosphere is tense.

"Why do you hang our compatriots on the towers." The Dongying man who spoke was Shang Shanqi. He was tall, handsome, and spoke a pure Zhongzhou accent.

Yu Xiong showed disdain, and sat on the horse and looked down at them: "Little Japanese slaves, what embarrassing things did you do, do you want me to explain?"

Behind Shang Shanqi, a fat man with a mouse beard got angry, jumped out when he heard the words, pointed at Yu Xiong and cursed something, seeing his red face, he must be scolding very badly.

"Little Japanese slave, did you give me face?" Yu Xiong's face turned cold, he drew out his saber, and in an instant, a hundred soldiers surrounded a group of Dongying warriors.

Seeing this, the rat-bearded man who was insulting with his mouth closed his mouth indignantly, his eyes were extremely annoyed.

"General calm down." Uesugi spoke, he smiled gently, bowed very humbly, and gave enough face, "I think there must be some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding, little Japanese slave, and you don't pretend to be in front of me. Have you seen the soldiers behind me? More than 30 people died. Huh, I will settle the account with you slowly, and get out of the way , I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you today, if you dare to say a word, you will be dealt with according to the "Guangling Public Security Law" and you will all be thrown into prison."

After speaking, hundreds of elite soldiers drew out their sabers, which shone faintly under the sun after the rain.

The mouse-bearded man's expression became even more gloomy, with one hand on the saber, it could be seen that he was trying his best to restrain his anger, but he finally held back when he saw Uesugi's stern expression.

Uesugi raised his head to look at the eleven corpses on the tower, thoughtfully, and then bowed politely again, "In that case, I will wait for the general to visit me after finishing my official duties and returning to the martial arts hall."

"Humph."

After he finished speaking, he led a group of Dongying warriors out of the city gate silently. It seems that they did not come out because of the commotion in the city tower, but because they had something to go out of the city and happened to pass by.

On the carriage, Chen Ci silently closed the bead curtain, wondering in his heart, so, could it be that this group of assassins, although they are from Dongying, are not disciples of this little Chiba Sword Dojo?
