Chapter 211

The road was long, and with a creaking sound, a carriage came slowly.

The car was driven by a strong man, wearing a rusty helmet and torn armor, wearing a wooden knife, in such weather, hot sweat flowed down, but he was still upright, and his body was tense like a bow.

"Dad, how long do we have to get to Chang'an? Tie'er is hungry. ”

"Hurry, hurry. ”

"After walking for so long, you shouldn't be going the wrong way again. ”

"What do you mean, I haven't been to Chang'an, it's the woodcutter who shows us the wrong way. ”

"Alas, I don't know what sins I created in my last life, so I was unlucky to follow you, I want to eat or not, I want to wear or not, alas, if I don't marry you, I won't give birth to iron, if I don't give birth to iron, if I don't give birth to iron......"

"Okay, you girl is not annoying, it's good to go to Chang'an, this time the court transferred me to Beijing, and life will be better in the future." ”

"Hmph, you are the reincarnation of the broom star, and you will be unlucky for the rest of your life. ”

Niu three catties, the northwest Yunshui guard general. One hundred and twenty years ago, when Dawu founded the country, he was divided into meritorious heroes. The ancestor of this ox three catties once led a horse to Taizu, so he was sealed to Yunshui Pass, hereditary replacement, and the ancestors guarded this place for generations. When it was passed on to Niu Sanjin, it was already the fifth generation.

One hundred and twenty years has been enough to change many things. Yunshui Pass is not too important place, the original town guard here was only a thousand soldiers, time passed, the dead fled and fled, and now there are seven or eight families left.

It is not so much that Niu Sanjin is the guard of Yunshui Pass, but that he is the village chief of Yunshui Village. The Rong people often commit border crimes, but they rarely come to Yunshuiguan, mainly because this place is so poor that the Rong people forget that there is still a population here. The point is that not only the Rong people have forgotten them, but the empire has also forgotten them.

The ancestors of Niu Sanjin herded sheep and planted fields every day, and those days were miserable. Sometimes Niu Sanjin also thinks that he is still not a military general of the empire.

Until last year, the Rong people invaded on a large scale, pressing the empire underground to fight, and after the battle was over, the imperial court always had to check which city was broken by the Rong people, and which city's generals were meritorious.

Finally, the imperial court found the archive of Yunshuiguan from the yellowed pile of old papers. Everyone was surprised to find that in the case of the complete collapse of the northwest front, there was still a Yunshui Pass where not a single soldier was damaged, and the key was that there was nothing to lose, and the Rong people did not pay attention to them at all.

Emperor Ming held the file in his hand and cried bitterly, guarding Yunshui Pass for generations, how many years did not want food, no money, of course, no one gave it, hard work, no regrets, this is really the pillar of the empire.

The ancestors just know how to look at people.

There are too many benefits, Niu Sanjin can't get it, and the battle achievements are evenly divided among several major forces. This time, it happens that the imperial court is going to open a martial arts imperial examination, so let this person be an examiner, anyway, he does not belong to any faction.

So the holy decree of the imperial court was transmitted to Yunshui Pass, and Niu Sanjin was a little confused, but he thought that this should be a good thing. So he took his wife and children, put on the armor worn by his ancestors, which was already a hundred years old, what if he didn't have a weapon, sharpen the handle of the wooden knife as a weapon. The capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you can't lose your dignity.

"Little Niu, this time I went to the capital, I had to behave well, and don't lose face in our Yunshuiguan. ”

"Tell His Majesty Emperor Wu for me, saying that my old king has been thinking about him. ”

"Uncle, His Majesty Emperor Wu has passed away for a long time. ”

"Little Niu, you are the hope of our whole village, don't be ashamed, run for a good future in Chang'an. ”

So, the hope of the whole village was three catties of cattle, so they drove the carriage, took their wives and children, as well as herbs, jade, animal skins and other things that were ready to be ordered in Chang'an City, wearing rusty armor and wooden knives, all the way to Chang'an for the future.

"Phew!"

It was almost to Chang'an City, and suddenly a pigeon jumped out of the road, holding a steel knife, covering his head with a black cloth, and the leader shouted.

"Well, I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave behind to buy road money, don't worry about half a tooth, don't kill it or bury it. ”

The woman in the car was startled and hurriedly hugged the child: "Dad, did we meet robbers, alas, I knew that I shouldn't have married you in the first place, if I hadn't married you......"

"Don't panic, I'm here. Niu Sanjin jumped out of the car: "You and other strongmen, do you know who I am, even the military attache of the empire dares to rob, ahhh ”

Bang bang...... Sorry, there was no sound, Niu Sanjin pulled out a wooden knife and pointed at the strongman.

This group of strongmen was naturally disguised by Cheng Dalei and others, and when they saw this scene, Cheng Dalei and others were stunned.

I've seen the poor, I've never seen such a poor person, I can't even get together a set of equipment, shouldn't I be so stumbling as an official?

"Are you a cow three catties?"

"Hmph, since you know my name, don't hurry up and step down. ”

"Really?"

"Lao Tzu Xing doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, Yunshui Guan Niu Sanjin is me. ”

"Tied, tied. ”

Cheng Dalei waved his hand, only to hear the tinkling in his ears, and Niu Sanjin shouted.

"Bah, eat me with a whirlwind slash. ”

"Look at my Autumn Wind Knife. ”

"Well, let go of me, let go of me!"

It didn't take long for Niu Sanjin and his family of three to be tied into zongzi, and his subordinates searched out the official seal letter on his body.

Cheng Dalei looked at Niu Sanjin's appearance while holding the official certificate.

"Square face with purple face, wide mouth and long beard. Cheng Dalei pouted: "You don't look like this, you obviously have a yellow face, where did you get the purple face, you shouldn't be a pretend, right?"

"That's my grandfather's official credentials. Niu Sanjin roared angrily: "The sky and the earth are big, who dares to pretend to be my old cow, what do you want to rush at me, let go of my wife and children." ”

In fact, the file management of imperial officials is very backward, and sometimes no one knows about it when they are impersonated, and this kind of thing can be said to be endless.

"Take away, take away. ”

Everyone worked together, put the three of them in sacks, and quietly transported them into the dungeon to house arrest.

And Cheng Dalei took off Niu Sanjin's broken armor, grabbed the wooden knife, and turned into Niu Sanjin representing the hope of the whole village.

It doesn't have to be completely according to Niu Sanjin's appearance Qiao Chuan, anyway, no one in Chang'an City has ever seen him, and the main purpose of Cheng Dalei's disguise is to avoid being recognized.

After Qiao Chuan changed his disguise, Cheng Dalei put on a knife, took Xu Shenji and Xu Ling'er, and drove the carriage to the government to report. One of the two of them pretended to be an old slave and the other pretended to be a maid, anyway, Chang'an City was so big, and no one could recognize them.

Cheng Dalei didn't know that as soon as he arrived at the yamen in charge of the examiner's registration, someone pointed at him and said loudly.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that you would be so poor and still bring a servant. ”
