Chapter Seventy-Six: Entering Dengzhou

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the county seat of Dengzhou, Qiu Ming ordered all the dry food brought by the army to be given to these hungry people, and the hungry people wept bitterly, and many knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are also people in that small village who probe their brains, and they don't know where this group of sergeants came from.

Qiuming had an idea, and said loudly: "I am the newly appointed Dengzhou Cheng Qiuming of the imperial court, and I am going to the county seat to take office. "When I was a child, I watched what jokes about Qianlong, iron-toothed and copper-toothed Ji Xiaolan, etc., Qiu Ming always imagined that he would also have a private interview with a micro-service, and it was best to meet a bully who robbed the people's daughters, and then revealed his identity, all kinds of slaps in the face and pretended, it was so cool to think about it.

But after waiting for a long time, Qiu Ming did not wait for the plot of the legendary complaint, but came out of the village to see more and more lively villagers, an old man wearing a jacket shook his head and said: "It's just a small county, I don't know how thick the sky is, if you break into trouble, it's too late to regret it." ”

Qiu Ming was furious, and before he could attack, Wei Yan had already shouted loudly: "Old fellow, what did you say? ”

The old man was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but he still stubbornly said: "Originally, the county city in Dengzhou has changed more than a dozen in three years, do you think you will be spared?" A fat woman turned out of him, grabbed the old man's ear, and said, "The dead old man is talking nonsense outside again, see how I clean you up when I go back." ”

Everyone laughed, but Qiu Ming asked Chen Zhen, "Is what the old man said true?" Is this location really so evil? ”

Chen Zhen said: "I have also heard of it in Xi'e, but the reasons are all kinds and difficult to describe, I heard that some were replaced because they were unqualified at the end of the year, some were dismissed because they offended the big families in the county, two committed suicide, and one was scared to death by ghosts." But I think Tyumen, you are from the military, and you are a protΓ©gΓ© of General Huangfu, so you shouldn't have to worry about this. ”

Qiu Ming looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia smiled and said: "The county order does not move, but the county is changed frequently, interesting, interesting, let's go meet this county master first and then make sense." ”

Although the jurisdiction of Dengzhou is large, the county seat is as dilapidated as the western Hubei, and the sun has just set in the west, and the soldiers guarding the gate began to arrange to close the city gate. A soldier said: "The door is closed so early, what if the caravan comes?" The old man beside him said: "It's not a year or a festival, how can any caravan come here?" We waited from morning till night, and one of us went into the city? It's better to go back early to warm the kang head for your wife and children. ”

The soldier said: "Look, there seems to be a cavalry team over there, should we wait for them to come and then close the door?" ”

The old man put up a canopy and looked at it: "Ah, I saw that there were weapons reflecting, but I was afraid that it was the remnants of the Yellow Turban, so I quickly closed the city gate and went to the city tower to defend." ”

Qiuming came to the city of Dengzhou, but saw that the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city were like facing a great enemy, and I didn't know what the reason was. Wei Yan said loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, we are the team escorting the new Deng Zhoucheng to take office, and we will open the city quickly." ”

The soldiers on the city tower were in a commotion for a while, and an old soldier shouted loudly: "The county commander and the county lieutenant are not in the city today, I don't know if it's true or not, let's come back in a few days if there is anything." ”

Wei Yan said angrily: "Fart, we are in office and not to join our relatives, how can we take a few days, quickly open the city gate, and we can go to the city to rest." ”

No matter what Wei Yan said, the old pawn just refused to open the city, for fear that they were the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party to come to earn the city, Qin Jie sent this hundred guards to fight with the Yellow Turban for so long, they were already arrogant soldiers, and now when they saw that the gatekeepers of a small county town dared not let them in, they were all shouting to directly capture the city gate.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "If you don't stand up, I am afraid that you will be despised even more in the future." ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Guangzong Yellow Turban Great Array, we have all been killed, will we be stumped by such a small county town?" He immediately shouted, "If we don't open the gates, we'll be killed." ”

There was another panic in the city, and the old soldier stretched out his bow and said, "Don't act rashly, otherwise I will release the arrow." Before the words fell, the old man felt that the hand of the flower in front of him was loosened, and the bowstring in his hand was broken by an arrow, and the feather arrow on his fingertip fell weakly.

The old soldier was shocked, and looked down at the city, only to see an old soldier who was older than himself raising his bow and pointing at him and saying, "Death to the reckless." ”

After another soldier was shot in the wrist, no one dared to move, and the leading old soldier had to watch the hundreds of soldiers below climb up the ladder to the city, and kept chanting: "These are not yellow turbans, these are not yellow scarves......

When the city gates were opened, many of the people in the city were attracted by the noise, standing in the streets and alleys and talking in a low voice. Qiu Ming wanted to make a big official appearance, but when he saw the large number of onlookers, he immediately changed his mind and comforted the old man with a generous word: "It's good that you can be loyal to your duties and don't let suspicious people enter the city." But why did the gates have to be closed so early? ”

At this time, the old pawn knew that it was not the Yellow Turban Thief who was washing the city in front of him, but he was afraid that it was really a new county as the other party said, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, the roads in Dengzhou have been quiet recently, and there are many Yellow Turban bandits who have fallen here, and the county commander and Cui County Lieutenant have taken people out to chase and suppress, and only a few of us old and weak soldiers are left in the city, so we need to close the door early, and we dare not relax in the slightest." ”

Qiu Ming smiled slightly: "I know, but since I have come here, the remnants of the Yellow Turban will definitely not dare to come again......" As he was speaking, a guard on the city tower shouted: "The Yellow Turban is here, the Yellow Turban is here." ”

Tyuming looked outside the city gate, and sure enough, a small group of men with yellow scarves were coming to the county seat, and they were still walking the same road as themselves. He turned around again and saw that all the lively people had run away without a trace, and the old man trembled and said, "Master, my lord, the yellow turban is here, let's close the city gate quickly." ”

Qiu Ming is so angry, just now he proudly said that the yellow scarf didn't dare to come, and immediately appeared in front of him, this is a naked slap in the face. He shouted loudly: "Wen Chang, go out of the city to kill the enemy, don't let one go." ”

Under the incredulous gaze of the guards guarding the city, Wei Yan excitedly rushed out of the city single-handedly, and the guards on the city tower also rushed to follow out of the city, as if it was not the ferocious Yellow Turban thieves but a pile of delicious soft persimmons.

Qiu Ming looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Why didn't Han Sheng go out with him?" ”

Huang Zhong still looked listless: "Just a few yellow turban thieves, Wen Chang can handle it himself, and he doesn't need me at all." Moreover, I can't even pick up a knife except for a few bows and arrows now, so I basically want to die when I go into battle against the enemy. ”
