The chaotic sound of horses' hooves broke the calm of the wilderness.

Look at the smoke and dust, at least a dozen horses are galloping.

After all, Gao Wu was born in the Qi family army and was always vigilant. Immediately whistled, more than a dozen strong men from Caijiaxiang immediately hula jumped out of the carriage, pulled out the iron rod from his waist, and protected Zhao Hao and their car.

"What's going on?" Zhao Hao poked his head out and looked at it from afar.

"There are more than a dozen people, chasing one on horseback." Gao Wu just organized the language.

"It can't be a horse thief, right?" Hua Shuyang couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Where is this, how can there be horse thieves?" Wang Wuyang glanced at him.

"It's really hard to say, Jingshi just lifted martial law last month." Wu Kangyuan glanced worriedly at the group of men and horses that were getting closer and closer, and clenched his sword tightly. "It's hard to keep a horse thief pretending to be a Tartar."

This is also the reason why Gao Wu is so vigilant, the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty has never been peaceful! The Son of Heaven guarding the country is not a lie......

More than a dozen men from Caijiaxiang were repeatedly drilled by Gao Wu along the way, and this was the case for guarding.

When Gao Wu led the crowd to use the carriage as a barrier and formed a formation, those knights had already come to the front.

Everyone held their breath and waited, but after the first knight and the convoy passed by, the rest of the men and horses also chased after each other, roaring away, without even looking at Zhao Hao and them.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

As for why those people fled and why they chased them, it was not for Zhao Hao and them to worry about.

Hurry up and drive the carriage and make it right to go to the city after dark.

~~

It was already noon.

Tongzhou is forty miles away from the capital, and the carriage is slow in the ice and snow, and it takes more than two hours to hurry up.

Everyone wants to arrive in the capital before dark, otherwise the city gate will be closed and they will have to freeze outside for a night, which will kill people.

But the more anxious they were, the more it backfired, and everyone was halfway to the road, and they encountered a traffic jam.

Looking at the endless cars and horses in front of him, Zhao Hao was about to go crazy, could it be that Beijing City has been jammed with traffic since the Ming Dynasty?

"Go and see, what's going on!"

As soon as he commanded, a man from Caijia Lane ran forward, panting and running back to report the tea.

"Gong, Gongzi, there is an official from the Shuntian Mansion in front of you to set up a card check car."

'Do you want to get a Beijing entry permit?' Zhao Hao secretly complained in his heart, frowned and asked, "What are they investigating?" Is there a tax? ”

"No, like I'm looking for something." That man had been a scout when he was a soldier, and he had seen more things than the average person. "I don't think there are many real officials, most of them are like rich slaves of someone's family."

"I'm afraid it has something to do with what just happened." Zhao Hao sighed lightly, this Beijing City is not yet his turn to play tricks, so he can only slowly line up and move forward.

After waiting in the cold wind for more than half an hour, Zhao Hao and the others saw clearly that more than a hundred steps ahead, there were four or five officials with bird feathers in their hats, led by an official wearing a six-grade uniform, who stopped the carriage entering Beijing.

But it was not the officials who came forward to search the vehicle, but some fierce warriors wearing variegated power suits.

It seems that something really happened, something terrible.

Zhao Hao didn't have the heart to reverie, he just looked forward to passing this section quickly, but who knew that there was a quarrel in front of him.

And we can't turn a blind eye.

Because one of them is the son of the heavens.

When Zhao Hao and the others got off the car, they saw the emotional Shi Jinchen, Tang Hezheng and others stopping in front of those warriors and preventing them from approaching the carriage.

"Are you blind? I didn't see that this was a bus with a yellow flag, and the government was not allowed to search it! ”

"That's it, let us go quickly, close the city gate and freeze us to death?!"

Those warriors in strong suits were also full of anxiety, but who dared to be at the feet of the Son of Heaven and be rude to the Son of Heaven?

They then set their eyes on the official from the sixth grade.

The official secretly called unlucky, took out the ticket card hard, shook it at the lifters, and said: "This official is the official of Shuntianfu, and he will seal the peak order and check all the vehicles entering Beijing!" ”

"This yellow flag is a convenience given to us by the emperor, no one has checked it all the way from south to north, and you can't check it in Shuntianfu either!"

If it is according to Zhao Hao's idea, Shuntianfu will check it, and it is the right thing to do after the investigation is completed.

However, people attach great importance to the privileges brought by this yellow flag, as if their dignity is at stake, and it is not negotiable. One by one, they refused to give an inch, and indignantly accused Shuntianfu of overstepping their power, and as a result, more and more people gathered, blocking the half of the road out of the city.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a team of people who were going to Tongzhou came to the front.

Seeing that the officials and the people were arguing, and the whole road was blocked, the guards who took the lead set off the Jingjie cannon.

There was a thud that startled everyone.

But the miraculous thing is that both sides of the arrogant and arrogant sides actually lost their tempers.

Because those who are qualified to release the trumpet cannon, in addition to the state and county officials close to the people, there are only senior officials of the fourth rank or above.

The pusher hurriedly turned around and looked, and couldn't help but be startled.

It turned out that the guard on the tall horse was carrying an embroidered spring knife at his waist, and a corner of the flying fish suit was exposed under the burqa.

It's actually a Jinyi guard officer.

Although since Lu Bing's death, Jinyiwei's prestige has declined. But this dignified brocade guard is actually just acting as a guard for the people behind......

The only people who can make Jinyi Wei act as a guard, except for the cabinet scholars and Qiqing, are the only people from the royal family.

~~

Either way, it's not something he can afford to provoke as a little pusher. He hurriedly ordered someone to clear the way, and at the same time stepped forward to explain with a smile.

The brocade guard is just a guard, and the main one is a pair of brothers and sisters surrounded by more than a dozen strong-armed guards.

"It turned out to be the little lord of the eldest princess's mansion and His Royal Highness the county lord." The magistrate hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The so-called little lord and county lord, dressed in a spirited hunting suit, one riding a black horse and the other riding a red horse, are all famous horses with no variegated bodies, vigorous postures, and slender limbs.

Both of them had thick cold-proof beeswax on their faces, and they were wearing strict winter clothes that only showed their noses and mouths, and they couldn't tell their specific looks and ages.

They patiently listened to the explanation of the magistrate, and the way was cleared by the official.

The little lord shook his horsewhip and said, "Let's go, let's do your errand." ”

Listening to the voice, it is sixteen or seventeen years old.

The retinue obeyed the order, and surrounded the two of them to go east.

When passing by those lifters, the county lord suddenly saw the yellow flag on the carriage, and couldn't help but say coldly to the magistrate: "Even I know that the buses of the lifters can't be searched, and you are too domineering to do things in Shuntianfu." ”

"Sister, be less nosy." The little lord looked at his sister helplessly and urged: "If it's too late, you won't be able to reach the hunting ground." ”

"It's not bad for a while." The voice of the county lord sounded more immature, but it was a chivalrous character, she glanced at her brother and said: "The sons of the people have a lot of mountains and rivers, and it is easy to get to the capital after a lot of hardships, so they will greet them like this?" It's your uncle's face that you lost, do you care if you see it? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it." The little lord seemed to be afraid of his sister-in-law, so he turned his head with a wry smile, glared at the pusher fiercely and said, "Don't let it go quickly!" ”

"Yes......" The official obviously didn't dare to offend the brother and sister, so he waved his hand and ordered the official to get out of the way.

Those samurai were still unwilling, but they were glared at fiercely by the magistrate again, telling him not to act rashly.

ps. The fourth more, this one is more thanks to the alliance leader Xiao Shuke, who said that Shuke has changed from a small Shuke to an old Shuke, and he has known each other for ten years, right? I had discussed it with him and grasshoppers many times before writing this book, well, everyone must sit down and have a drink in the future.
