Chapter 592 The First Fire
Jin Wu falls to the west, and the Jade Rabbit rises to the east, like the ink blob slowly smudged on the rice paper, slowly covering the quiet valley from light to thick night.

Only the full moon hanging high in the sky exudes hazy light, illuminating the loess official road on the side of the valley.

There was silence all around, except for the roar of wild animals from the distant mountains from time to time, or the humming of unknown insects from the grass beside the official road.

At this moment, a crisp sound of horseshoes sounded from the valley, breaking the tranquility of the summer night.

In the dim moonlight, several figures on horseback can be vaguely seen galloping out from the mouth of the valley.The speed of the riders was so fast that they were almost breathing. They had already left the valley, turned onto the official road, and galloped all the way.

In less than half an hour, several fast horses had already arrived at the gate of the county seat. One of them held the rein with one hand, put the other hand on his lips, and shouted loudly: "Which brother is on duty above? Feng from a certain Zhechong Mansion Sixth, under the order of my family's captain, there is an urgent matter to enter the city, so please forgive me!"

The words of request were spoken in his mouth, but the tone was very casual.Because this is not the first time they have done something like this.Because the captain and Biejia are family friends, the guards under the captain are also familiar with the guards and guards in the city.

Everyone is begging for life under the same roof. Who doesn't have the time to ask for help?
But whenever encountering a similar situation, the guards guarding the city would turn a blind eye and put people in with their hands raised.

I don't want to, but something happened today.

The man who called himself Feng Liu waited for someone to open the city gate after he finished speaking.However, after waiting for a full cup of tea, there was no movement at the city gate. Just when the people in the city were waiting impatiently and were about to shout again, a deep male voice came from the gate tower: "But Do you have the captain's handwriting?"

Feng Liu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "There is no handwriting."

After finishing speaking, fearing that the other party would not believe it, he hurriedly added: "Brother is a newcomer, a certain is the captain's guard, and he is also used to walking around the county... It's okay, when the errands of a certain person are finished tomorrow, Someone invites you to the Yun Family Restaurant for a drink!"

Perhaps in order to get close, Feng Liu deliberately laughed a few times.

As a result, there was indeed an embarrassing silence waiting for him, and there was no one answering the city gate again.

Feng Liu's smile froze on his face, and he also got a little angry, cursing in his heart: Damn, these black-hearted rats and dogs, when we eat and drink together on weekdays, they call us brothers and sisters, and they are as affectionate as a family. When they were used, these scoundrels pretended to be stupid.

Damn, after today's incident is over, let's see how I will deal with you in the future. If any of you want to ask us to do things again in the future, let's put on airs and take it back!

Several other riders also felt a little slapped in the face, and they drank some alcohol before they came. Although they were low-quality low-alcohol alcohol, no matter how low-alcohol alcohol was, drinking too much alcohol would still cause trouble.

Just now, they ran all the way, speeding up the operation of alcohol in the body. At this time, the alcohol had already flooded into their brains, temporarily affecting their normal thinking.

Seeing that there was still no reply from the top of the city gate, several people finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "Mother, open the city gate quickly, it will delay the captain's important affairs, who of you can afford it?"

Several people yelled in turn, and finally there was another response from the city gate: "Do you have any evidence?"

The question is concise and to the point, at least the people in the city understand it, they don't believe them.

In fact, under normal circumstances, a few people would patiently explain a thing or two to the people above them.But today, under the influence of alcohol, several people are a little dizzy, and their courage is much stronger than usual.

At this moment, they were treated coldly one after another, and when they got angry, they all scolded angrily: "You mother, you don't have eyes, don't you know me, Chen Jiu? How dare you verify my seal? You bloody slave, Still don't open the city gates? Blind donkeys (a term used to curse people in the Tang Dynasty), idiots with eyes but no pearls..."

All kinds of unsavory and vulgar curses came out of his mouth.

You can't blame Chen Jiu for being furious. He is the first guard of the captain. Although he has no official rank, he can definitely walk sideways in the boundary of Shanzhou.Even those junior and eighth grade officials in the government office would call 'Jiu Lang' or 'Jiu Ge' affectionately when they saw him.

When the companions saw Chen Jiu scolding freely, and when the spirit of drinking came up, they also followed suit.

For a while, there was a crowd of scolding under the city gate.

After a while, when Chen Jiu and the others were scolding dryly, there were rustling sounds from behind the heavy city gate, followed by the sound of several people moving the latch, and then, the city gate slowly opened a gap, and the space It's not big, only one person can walk through it.

Seeing this, Chen Jiu and others felt that their intimidation and scolding had had an effect, and those "soldier slaves" (the words used to call government soldiers and military officials in Tang Dynasty) were scared and admitted to being cowardly.

Everyone was very satisfied, looked at each other proudly, and couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Feng Liu took the lead and rode his horse to the gate of the city first. One man and one horse passed through the narrow gap.

Several others followed suit.

It was less than half a cup of tea, and all of them entered the city, but they never returned.

In the strategy discussed between Dong Da and Guo Jizu, after Chen Jiu and others entered the city, they went to the government office to do some small tricks to add some obstacles to the new governor. It would be even better if they could scare him into retreating.

Both Dong and Guo felt that this matter was not difficult. Chen Jiu and others could even fight the Turkic people, let alone scare a fledgling white-faced young man.

They estimated that a few people would be able to come back before dawn.

Reassured by this, Dong Da and Guo Jizu continued to eat and drink together in the tent, and they fell asleep until it was light.

At three o'clock in the sun, the two sat up with their heads in their hands with a splitting headache, washed and changed their clothes under the service of their attendants, and then got together for dinner again.

A beautiful meal is offered, and the old and the young sit opposite each other and drink tea soup to relieve their boredom.

The two drank tea for a while, and then remembered what happened last night.

Dong Da hurriedly called the soldiers in the clothes who were in front of him, and asked, "Has Chen Jiu come back?" Although he asked so, he was not worried.

Xiao Bing replied: "Never!"

Hearing this, Dong Da didn't react for a while, and repeated in a daze: "What? Didn't you come back?"

Xiao Bing nodded again and again, "Yes, Chen Jiu and his brothers set off at the beginning of Haishi, and they haven't come back until now, and there hasn't been any news back!"

Dong Da's face became a little ugly, but he still didn't think about it elsewhere, thinking that it was a few subordinates who were just playing around, and after finally entering the county town, they would not want to leave.

Guo Jizu was not so convinced, he stood up abruptly, walked around the room twice, then stopped in front of Dong Da, and said in a low voice: "This is not right, something may have happened to the county seat!"

If Chen Jiu and the others did not come back, it might be that they were greedy for the prosperity of the county and forgot the return date for a while.But if they succeed, the government office will be in chaos, whether it is set on fire or harassed, it will not be too peaceful after all.

Something happened to the government office, and Guo Jizu's confidantes who stayed in the city will definitely send news.

But so far, he hasn't received anything.

Based on this, either Chen Jiu and the others failed, or his confidants were controlled by Cui Youbo.

But no matter what the situation is, Guo Jizu doesn't want to see it.

Dong Da waved his hand and sent the soldier away.

Then he turned his head to look at Guo Jizu, and said with some uncertainty: "Uncle, can't you? The city is full of your people, and Cui Youbo, a boy from the capital, can make a big wave?"

Guo Jizu raised his right hand and interrupted him, "I said a long time ago, don't underestimate your opponent. Judging from Cui's behavior yesterday, he is not easy. This time, I have to go back and have a look."

Huangshui, and even the whole of Shanzhou, has been his territory for more than ten years, and he must not allow anyone to get involved.

Seeing Guo Jizu's insistence, Dong Da couldn't persuade him anymore, so he prepared to take someone to take him back to the county town himself—since the old uncle said something happened in the city, he had to protect the old man.

Guo Jizu didn't refuse either. When the subordinates reported back, they said that Uncle Cui had brought hundreds of people to play. If there was any conflict, he should have a few reliable people around him to help fight.

The matter was urgent, and the two of them didn't delay, they tidied up in a hurry, and rode to the county together.

A group of people walked to the moat outside the city. Dong Da led a dozen soldiers to lead the way. He was about to ride his horse to the gate of the city, but Guo Jizu stopped him.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Dong Da turned his horse's head, ran back to Guo Jizu, and asked puzzledly.

Guo Jizu sat on the horseback, covered his eyebrows with one hand, and squinted his eyes to watch carefully. After a while, he pointed the whip in his hand at the dozen or so guards at the handle of the city gate, and said in a low voice: "Look at those guards. People, looking at my eyes, it seems that they are not the people who were in charge of guarding!"

Dong Da was stunned, and then imitated Guo Jizu's actions just now, observed carefully, his face changed slightly, he was a little anxious, "Uncle, what's going on here? Could it be that the Turkic people came in?"

Guo Jizu glared at Dong Da angrily, and said coldly: "What Turkic people? Shanzhou is far away from Yaochi, and He Lu Xiaoer can't figure it out for a while. If the old man is right, these people should belong to Cui Youbo people!"

Dong Da was slightly startled, and almost cried out, but Guo Jizu glared at him again, and then he tried his best to suppress the fear in his chest, and said, "Ah, Uncle, you mean, it's Cui Youbo——"

No, Wei Wang didn’t mean that Cui was just an embroidered pillow who climbed up to the official career by relying on his background and nepotism. How could he make such a big noise just one day after he first arrived?
Forcibly entering the government office is fine, after all, Cui Youbo is the new governor, what method he uses to enter his own government office is his business, and it is difficult for others to say anything.

But, can snatch the right to guard the city gate, this, this is a bit over the limit, right?Isn't he afraid that others will intervene in his local military affairs?
Guo Jizu was extremely calm. At this moment, he was very sure that Chen Jiu's people, and even his confidantes who stayed in the county, had probably fallen into Cui Youbo's hands.

Tsk tsk, this new governor has used good means, the new official has three fires when he takes office, and this first fire is directed at himself!

This guy completely forgot that it was not Cui Youbo who started the dispute first, but himself...
