Chapter Forty-Nine: The Gate of the West City

The distance of three hundred meters soon came to an end, but at this time the West Gate has been blocked and the water is impassable, because of the strict inspection, those carriages full of goods are very troublesome to check, and often have to open all the goods to look at it, especially those bags or boxes that can accommodate a person's volume, which also makes the West Gate temporarily have a traffic jam.

Here at the West Gate, it was diametrically opposed to the teahouse where Lin Feng and the others were drinking tea just now, and the chatter around them became a mess, and all kinds of frolicking laughter and scolding mingled. Some people are anxious to get to themselves as soon as possible and then check and pass the customs as soon as possible to get out of the city, looking at the merchants in front of them who have increased the inspection time because of the cumbersome goods, the bad temper has already begun to open their mouths and curse in a low voice, and the posture is eager to go up and kick all the goods carriages in front of them aside. And some of the merchants with a good mentality handed over the carriage and goods to their subordinates, and they stood far away with their arms folded in front of their chests, looking at the noisy crowd with an indifferent face, as if they had nothing to do with him if they couldn't get out of the city.

After a few minutes of suffering with the crowd, the steps under his feet did not move forward at all, and Rao is Lin Feng's temperament couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply shook his head at the city gate of Qinglong beside him, and grabbed Biliu's waist and walked to the city gate without the crowd in front of him.

Originally, everyone also protested against Lin Feng's behavior, but after seeing the small burden that Lin Feng and Qinglong were carrying, they relaxed a little, after all, those two small burdens passed the inspection and it was a matter of minutes, and it didn't matter to them, they couldn't offend people because of this, after all, Lin Feng and Qinglong each carried a Tang knife that looked very valuable.

But in this world, there are always some people who say that grapes are sour if they can't eat grapes, and if they can't eat swan meat, they don't say that swan meat is poisonous, so there are still small merchants who are very dissatisfied with this, and they are shouting hard to get out of the queue, but the guards who are busy checking this turn a deaf ear and don't seem to hear their protests at all. Lin Feng and Qinglong were even more disdainful of dealing with those people, although Lin Feng really wanted to turn around and swatt those buzzing flies to death one by one, but he still smiled helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and continued to wait for the only convoy in front.

The waiting time is always tormenting, in just a few minutes, in the eyes of Lin Feng and others, it is a day of sunrise and sunset, after the front convoy left the city, one of the guards at the head squinted at Lin Feng who came forward to wait for the investigation, and saw that he was not ready to check Lin Feng, of course, he did not plan to let him go out of the city directly.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately understood, took two steps forward, took out two pieces of exquisite jade from the burden on his shoulder, handed them over, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, it's convenient, we have few people and few goods, and we can check it quickly." ”

"Hmm." The guard reached out and took the two pieces of jade and glanced at them casually, then stuffed them into his chest with a calm face, but Lin Feng saw a look of surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, damn, it's still a guy who knows the goods!

"Alright! You don't look like bad people, and you can't fit anything in this baggage, so let's go! The guards raised the saber in their hands and waved it casually to the west gate behind him with the posture of I am the boss, and gave Lin Feng and the four of them a definition in a rage, and then turned his head and shouted to the guards in the city cave: "Brothers, let go!" ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the city, and the guards who had received Lin Feng's benefits looked at the people, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and they hurriedly waved their hands to Lin Feng to signal him to stand aside, and even the guards in the city cave stood up straight side by side, looking at the faces of the people who came with respect.

Lin Feng and Qinglong glanced at each other after walking aside, and both frowned, but they were a little more relaxed when they looked at the people who came, because there were only five cavalry and more than a dozen infantry who followed, and it seemed that they were just a mid-level general with a rank of five grades, maybe it was just a situation of patrolling the city gates.

"General Wang!" The guards who had just received the benefits met their superiors to check, and naturally they were a little frightened, and they hung their heads deeply and saluted to General Wang.

"Well, excuse me!" General Wang waved his hand lightly in response, turned his head and glanced at the merchants gathered at the city gate, and for a while the noise was all still, as if it had been premeditated in advance, and suddenly there was silence, followed by General Wang's question: "Is there any suspicious person?" You have to check carefully, don't go wrong! ”

"Yes, yes, obey General Wang's orders!" The guards nodded their heads in a hurry, and looked at General Wang's eyes full of horror and worry, as if they were worried that General Wang had seen what he had just done. In fact, his worries are unnecessary, after all, the errand of guarding the door and checking is fat, and he often receives some money ranging from one to the other, which can be regarded as an underground income, and it has become an unspoken rule of the entire Celestial Empire, even if General Wang sees it, he will not say anything, and it will pass with one eye closed.

But his unusual behavior today attracted the attention of General Wang, who glanced at the guards suspiciously, and walked towards him while beating horses and grazing the convoy at the city gate: "Why do you always keep your head down? Is there something going on? Although the voice was not loud and the tone was not heavy, it was pressed on the guard's body like a thousand catties of weight, and suddenly beads of sweat were oozing from the guard's forehead, and he kept shaking his head and denying: "No, no!" The little ones have done their due diligence and definitely haven't let go of anyone who is suspicious! ”

"That's good! Go ahead! General Wang reined in his horse in front of the guards, looked at him deeply and reminded: "It's time to close the city gate, be careful!" General Ben is going to inspect the north gate and do a good job! ”

"Yes! General Wang, go slowly! The guards clasped their fists again and saluted.

At this time, General Wang was already less than five meters away from Lin Feng and the others, although he hadn't noticed Lin Feng and the others all along, but it also made Lin Feng's palms ooze thick sweat, and when he heard General Wang say that he was leaving, he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Huh?" Just when General Wang stepped on the horse's pedal and was about to leave, his eyes were fixed on Lin Feng, and suddenly the reins in his hand stopped the war horse, pointed at Lin Feng with the horsewhip in his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "You, who are you?" Raise your head and show General Ben! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Feng's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly said that it was not good, but he also knew that it was inevitable, after all, the other party was also a high-ranking general, and if he raised his head, he would definitely be recognized. I couldn't help but let go of the hand holding Bi Liu, and slowly raised my head to look at General Wang, with a bright smile on his face.

"You... You! Chungwu. General Wang was suddenly so shocked that he couldn't even speak, looking at Lin Feng's thick smile, he stammered a few times before reacting, stretched out his hand and raised his horsewhip, and threw it towards Lin Feng, while shouting: "Catch him!" He is the thief who assassinated the saint!! ”

For a while, all the people around were stunned by this shout, and even the soldiers brought by General Wang were stunned in place, and did not make any moves in time, only the sound of the horsewhip breaking through the air.
