Chapter 218 Tears on the Chengguan Pass (1)
Ever since the flames soared into the sky above Feng's residence, the surrounding quiet dwellings began to clamor.Many people were still asleep, but their doors were suddenly opened and smashed.The soldiers of Prince Qing's Mansion fought with open flames and went door to door in the city to investigate.

The soldiers were like wolves and tigers, regardless of whether they found someone or not, as long as they saw property and other things in the house, they would honestly and unceremoniously take sheep.There are not many valuable items in the homes of ordinary people, but those merchants who do business have suffered.As soon as the sword and gun came on, and a few more slaps, all the cash on the cabinet was robbed, but the shopkeepers and all the fellows dared not speak out because they were afraid of the smoldering flames of Prince Qing's mansion.

The Fifth Battalion did not mix with the soldiers of Prince Qing's Mansion because of the strict order of King Su to patrol. They went through the streets and alleys a few times, and then hastily withdrew the troops and returned to the camp.

After an hour, none of the soldiers of Prince Qing's Mansion found out Feng Shen's whereabouts, so they divided into several groups and went to the Sifang City Gate.

The sky was getting brighter, but the top of the head was still covered with lead clouds, and the north wind howled angrily, blowing countless dust and sand.Before the Chongwen Gate in the south of the city was opened, Zaizhen, the son of Gushan, rode a tall horse and led a large group of soldiers to the gate of the city.

Zai Zhen was wearing a big cloak with sea dragon needles pulled out, and the front collar was slightly turned outwards. On the shiny black down, there was a layer of silver hairs more than three inches long.But this thick cloak seemed unable to withstand the chill of the morning winter, so Zai Zhen exhaled a few breaths, jumped off the horse and stomped his feet.Seeing a wine store not far away, he shrank his neck and rushed in, slapping the table hurriedly to ask the store to quickly refill the charcoal to warm the wine.

How dare the shopkeeper be negligent?He hurriedly brought up the hot old wine, and placed a brazier under Zai Zhen's feet.Zai Zhen took a sip of wine over the charcoal, but his eyes did not blink, looking at the city gate outside the shop.

When the time came, the city defense soldiers opened the city gate.Unexpectedly, as soon as the gate of the city was opened, the soldiers of Prince Qing's Mansion gave a shout and blocked the two sections of the deer fence that had been brought up on both sides of the gate.

"Hey? What are you going to do?"

A soldier was about to stop him, but several soldiers rushed up and slapped his hands.

"Grandma! What kind of thing are you? What's your business?"

The soldier was taken aback by the beating, and he pointed to the small merchants outside the city and said, "But you have blocked the gate of the city, how do you tell those who are doing business to enter the city?"

"Enter the city!" A soldier said, "I tell you, the grandpas sealed the city gates to catch important criminals! Don't say that you can't enter, and you are not allowed to go out..."

Before the soldier finished speaking, a loud shout came from behind: "Who gave you the courage to come here to act wildly!?"

"Hey? Which grandson has such a loud voice? Do you want to deafen grandpa's ears?" The soldier scolded and turned his head, but before he could see the person behind him, he was hit hard on the eye socket. punch.

The city defense soldiers saw that it was King Su, and they all greeted each other. "See Prince Su!"

King Su waved his hands to the soldiers, and kicked the soldier over with one kick. "If your dog's eyes are blind, why don't you ask me to cut them out for you!"

The soldier was so frightened that he flew to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. "The villain doesn't know that it is Lord Su who is here... Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

King Su was about to reprimand again, when Zai Zhen from the wine shop had already come out. "Hey, Lord Su is so elegant, you took me as a little soldier to stretch your muscles early in the morning?"

Seeing that it was Zai Zhen, King Su's face darkened. "Zhen Beizi, what are you doing here?"

Zai Zhen cupped his hands and said: "I was ordered by my Ama to come here to intercept Feng Shen, the traitor who conspired against us. If there is any conflict, please bear with me, Lord Su."

King Su waved his hand, "I don't care who you ordered! This is Chongwenmen, not your Prince Qing's Mansion or Beizi Mansion! Get rid of those broken fences quickly!"

In front of King Su, Zai Zhen didn't dare to act presumptuously, so he could only beg in a low voice: "Lord Su, this is a public matter, please do me a favor..."

King Su sneered and said, "Ask this king for convenience? Humph, I'm afraid you're not qualified enough!"

As soon as the words fell, the voice of Qing Wang Yikuang suddenly sounded in the distance: "Hey, he is not qualified, so am I qualified?"

Seeing that it was Yikuang, Zai Zhen immediately went up to meet him. "Ama, fortunately you arrived in time..."

With the support of Zai Zhen, Yikuang walked forward slowly. "Shanqi, don't you even pay attention to the approval note from the military aircraft department?"

King Su snorted, "That note only said to take people, why did it ever say that the city gate was going to be closed? Prince Qing, your claws are stretched too far, right?"

Yikuang said: "What if the city is not closed and the rebels escape?"

King Su shouted: "If you want to take people, I have nothing to do with you! But if you want to close this Chongwenmen, you don't even have to think about it! The businessmen rely on this door to come in and out. No matter how powerful King Qing is, you can't Cut off the livelihood of ordinary people!"

At this time, many people had already surrounded the city gate, and when they heard Su Wang's words, they couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Lord Su is right!"

"Let us go out of the city! Why seal the city gate? We want to leave the city! We want to leave the city..."

Zai Zhen yelled at the people: "What are you yelling about? What the hell are you yelling about? Be honest! If you dare to make a fuss again, I will arrest you as rebels!"

Yikuang ignored the crowd, just pinched his goatee, leaned in front of King Su and whispered: "Shanqi, Shanqi, hehehe, you don't want to be here for selfishness, kid, what are your plans, I don't know ?"

King Su retorted and said, "My king is also very clear about your lord Qing's tricks!"

Yikuang was taken aback for a moment, and two cold lights shot out from his eyes. "Shanqi, what do you guys know?"

King Su put his hands behind his back, and didn't look at Yikuang directly. "This king knows you are an old fox!"

Yikuang suddenly felt a little guilty, "Shanqi, what on earth do you want?"

Su Wang said: "If King Qing is acquainted, tell your dog legs to remove the fence!"

The muscles on Yikuang's face trembled, "What if I say no?"

King Su proudly said: "Then you have a try! You have a capable dog in Prince Qing's mansion, don't you have elite soldiers and strong generals under my command!?"

Yikuang stared, "Shanqi!"

King Su also glared, "Yikuang!"

The two looked straight at each other, and after a long stalemate, Yikuang slowly turned his head. "All right, all right, I don't care about you kid... Zai Zhen, let them remove the fence..."

Zai Zhen said anxiously: "But Ah Ma..."

"Get out, get out!" Yi Kuang waved his hand, and sighed, "Shan Jina kid is really messed up, let's not mess with him..."

Zai Zhen had no choice but to signal his soldiers to move the fence away.

The people cheered and were about to enter and leave the city gate, when Yikuang suddenly shouted: "Everyone wait!"

Su Wang frowned, "Qing Wang, what kind of monster are you trying to make?"

Yikuang rolled his eyes and ordered to the soldiers: "Listen up, let those who enter the city go to the left, and those who go out of the city to go to the right. Whether entering or exiting, everyone must check carefully!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded together, and set up a checkpoint at the gate of the city.

Seeing that the soldiers began to investigate and question carefully, Yikuang smiled at King Su. "How about Shanqi? I have opened the city gate for you, what else do you have to say now?"

"Hmph!" King Su tossed his robe and turned his head away.

"Hey hey..." Yi Qiang said proudly, "The traitor doesn't come, that's all. If I catch him on the spot... Hey, let's see who dares to cover up!? Zai Zhen, go and move it for Ama. Get a chair, and Ama will sit here, spending time with him!"

As soon as the gate was opened, people from inside and outside the city poured in and out one after another.In the breakfast shed not far from the wine shop, a big man with the appearance of a butcher stood up and said to a man and a woman opposite him: "You guys, the city gate is finally open. I have to get the two gates open before noon." Send the pigs to Wangjiazhuangzi."

That couple is Feng Shen and Xianggua in disguise.Feng Shen nodded to the butcher, and said: "If you have something to do, just go first, my brother and sister haven't finished eating yet."

The butcher smiled and said, "Okay, little brother, eat more, chop more firewood and sell it for money when you're full, don't keep buying some offal to satisfy your sister's greed..."

Cantaloupe took a bite of the cake, and said to the butcher, "I'm willing to eat water, can you control it? Go away!"

"This girl, hey, she's not a big person, but she has a really small temper..." The butcher shook his head with a smile, went out and pushed his wheelbarrow away.

After the butcher left, Feng Shen slowly finished the food in front of him, looked out of the shed for a while, and whispered: "It seems that the city gate is very strict... Cantaloupe, are you afraid?"

Cantaloupe didn't make a sound, but nodded silently.

Feng Shen sighed, "At this point, there is no way out. When you go out of the city, don't panic too much... Fortunately, Lord Su is also there. If there is anything, he will help you..."

Xianggua said worriedly: "Brother Feng, but Prince Su..."

Feng Shen patted Cantaloupe on the shoulder, "Don't worry... the only thing we have to do now is to trust Lord Su! Are you full?"

Cantaloupe put the remaining pancakes on the table, "Brother Feng, I still don't know what to do, I can't eat anymore..."

Feng Shen forced a smile, "Then let's have some porridge, get ready, tidy up your clothes, and after a while, we'll leave the city!"

After speaking, the two of them sat in the shed for a while, seeing that the number of people leaving the city gradually increased, so they slapped a silver coin on the table. "Dude, pay the bill!"

The guy was busy working by the stove, he glanced at it and saw a holeless silver coin of seven cents and two cents on the table, he couldn't help being slightly startled. "Hey, little brother, a few pancakes and two bowls of white porridge are not worth the money... Wait a minute, I'll add some charcoal to the stove first, and then I'll find you guys..."

"You don't need to look for it!" Feng Shen buckled the bamboo hat over his head, carried the firewood basket on the side with Xianggua and left the shed.
