The generals were full of confidence when they heard Liu Xin's words. Although they had doubts, they did not dare to ask any more. They all quit, and they returned to camp without mentioning it. At this moment, suddenly a train team came to Jianmen to shut down. The forty-year-old man dressed as a merchant jumped out of the front carriage, went straight to the gate, and walked over.
The weather in the first month was still very cold. The guards held their spears in their arms and kept rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, trying to drive away the slightest coolness on their bodies. They didn’t even notice that someone was walking towards them.
The merchant looked at their suits and clothes, and he knew that these guards should be soldiers in the local army. No wonder they were so listless. If they were replaced by regular soldiers, even if they were frozen into icicles, they would The waist was straight. Seeing this scene, the merchant's face showed a smile, and the steps under his feet were also a few quicker. He stepped forward and said: "Brother, may I ask when the closed door can be opened? We are waiting to get out. Turn it off,"
The soldier didn't lift his head, and yawned and said casually: "Oh, you have to leave the gate, wait for it, and open it soon,"
A soldier next to him saw the merchant nodding and bowing his waist and couldn't help but smile: "Pharaoh, don't tease him. I'm afraid this door hasn't been opened for a year. Let him wait. When will you wait?"
The soldier named Lao Wang then raised his head, glanced at the merchant, and said, "It's freezing cold and no one is amused. How can this sentry stand on? Hahahaha..."
Amidst the roar of the soldiers’ laughter, a man dressed as an officer came out of the city gate. The merchant was at a loss there. Seeing the officer, he suddenly greeted him as if he had found a straw, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. The film quietly handed it over, and said: "This adult, Xiaomin has sold a few carts of goods from Xiangyang and traveled thousands of miles away. I want to try my luck outside the customs, and I hope the adults will do it for convenience."
The officer glanced lightly and saw that it was a bank note, but he refused to accept it. He said loudly, "Since you are coming from Xiangyang, don't you know the rules? Don't hesitate to put the bank note away, I still want to The guy who kept eating on the neck, to tell you the truth, the upper part did not order that the door cannot be opened, but it has been more than a year and no one has ever asked to leave the door, so we are too lazy to get the door. , But the routine procedures are inevitable. In addition, I have to say first, people outside the customs and our lord are not very good, you can make money after leaving the customs, and whether you can make money or not. Don’t blame me for not reminding you at that time,"
The merchant was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded again and again, put away the bank note, and handed over a paper again, saying: "Xiaomin's surname is Song, and he has been doing business in Xiangyang all the year round. I also heard people say that merchants are not allowed outside the customs for a long time. After moving my mind, I think it is profitable. People die for money and birds die for food. It’s worth the risk to try it out."
The officer looked up at the convoy behind the treasurer Song. At the beginning were two carriages and five mule carts behind them. Six or seven men were taking care of them. The officer said: "Children, go and see if there are any What prohibited things,"
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the two carriages and opened the door curtain of the first car, but the inside was empty. Shopkeeper Song had already smiled and greeted him: "My lord, this is the little man who rides, and the little man is law-abiding. Good people, don't dare to have any entrainment in private possession,"
The officer ignored him and continued to walk over and opened the curtain of the second carriage, only to see a young woman sitting in the middle, a man and a woman, two children curled up in her arms. The officer frowned and said: "Who are these people? Why is there no record in the document,"
Shopkeeper Song hurriedly walked over and said, "My lord Mingjian, this is Xiaomin's wife and children. I want to come out to see the world together. I walked in a hurry. I forgot to add a name on the document. I asked the adults to raise their hands and let us together. Go out,"
The officer snorted coldly, and said, "The watery little lady, the pinkish baby, stay away when you are not at home, and run into this ice world, who do you want to deceive?"
Shopkeeper Song was used to going north and south. He hadn’t seen anything. Hearing the officer’s suspicion, the expression on his face remained unchanged. The general officer drew to the carriage and whispered, “Don’t hide it from your lord, this is Xiaomin’s outer room. There is a tigress, don't bring it around, Xiaomin can't worry about it."
The officer took his eyes to the woman, and saw that she was blushing when she heard the words of Shopkeeper Song, and laughed, and said: "It seems that the older generation has said it well. Every family has hard-to-read sutras. Okay. Okay, I don’t make it difficult for you. After paying the tax, let’s go quickly."
The closed door that had not been opened for a year opened slowly, and the outside of the customs was really white and the snow was so deep that there was no knees, and you could not even see the road. When the convoy exited the pass, the kind soldiers gave the treasurer Song a pointer and gave instructions. He said a few words before closing the door again. At this moment, all the soldiers who had been hanging around just now stood up straight and closed the wall. The old Wang also said vigorously to the officer just now: "General Shi, our mission is complete. It's not bad, right?"
It turned out that these people were not ordinary local army soldiers, but Xu Huang's subordinates. The officer headed was the Pi general Shi Huan in the First Corps. Shi Huan put up a pergola and looked at the convoy moving away with no expression on his face. Said: "Report to the general immediately that the pigeons have been released,"
"Dove" is the code name of Shopkeeper Song. He is also a member of Phantom's Secret Spy. He usually acts as a cover in Xiangyang City as a businessman to detect if there are any spies from outside. This is the first time he has gone out to perform a mission. His mission is not complicated. It is to send hands-on signals to the special forces soldiers lurking in Jiameng Pass. If this mission can be successfully completed, he will be able to move from the dark to the bright in the future, without fear and hiding. The secret spy lives,
The road outside Jianmen Pass is obviously deserted for a long time, and the snow has not melted. The convoy had a very difficult journey. It took more than 20 miles from early morning to noon before arriving at Jiameng Pass.
Shopkeeper Song yelled, stopped the convoy, jumped out of the carriage again, stepped forward, and stood under the door and shouted: "Brother who is closed, open the door, I have an urgent need to see Master Yang,"
This is the west gate of Jiameng Pass. It has not been opened for a year and a half, and there are not a few soldiers guarding the pass. Shopkeeper Song shouted for a long time before reaching out from the top of the city and shouting loudly, "Where did it come from? Savage, what kind of soul are you shouting? Did you see Mr. Yang? I think you are like a spy. If I don’t leave, I will shoot my bow and arrows."
Shopkeeper Song hurriedly took out an ingot of silver from his arms, raised it in his hand, and said, "Brother, please do it for your convenience. There is indeed an urgent matter to see the lord."
The soldier saw Bai Huahuang silver, really moved, and said "You wait," and disappeared.
Shopkeeper Song was looking at the closed door hopefully, but after a while, he saw a bamboo basket hanging from the top of the city. Just now the soldier poked his head out and said, "Hurry up, put things inside,"
The soldier was obviously more polite than before and said: "This guest officer, don’t you know, my lord has an order, Jia Mengguan only opens the east gate, and all other gates are not allowed to be opened. If you want to enter the city, you have to go around quickly, and it will be too late if you are too late.
Shopkeeper Song didn’t expect to throw out a silver coin. It turned out that it was just asking for money. He wanted to buy a road and didn’t even have the door. So he shook his head. Shopkeeper Song was anxious, and I was afraid that he had missed a major event, so he didn’t tell him more, hurry up. He jumped into the carriage and directed the convoy to detour towards the east gate. When he reached the east gate, he saw a few soldiers slowly pushing the gate of the city. Anxious shopkeeper Song shouted: "Brother in front, wait a minute. , There is an urgent matter to enter the city, wait for me,"
In fact, it’s not yet the time to close the city gate. It’s just that such a convoy walking in the wilderness covered in silver makeup is naturally very eye-catching. The soldiers guarding the gate have seen it a long time ago, and they deliberately closed the gate. It’s very clear that there are no shops in front of the village, and there is no other way for people to go except for entering the city. It just so happens that they can take a stab at it.
Shopkeeper Song hurried to the gate of the city, but saw that the gate was vacant, leaving only a small gap, and said quickly: "Brothers, please make it easy. I have an urgent request to see Master Yang. "
The headed officer looked at the treasurer Song up and down, twisting a hand in front of him, and muttered: "You are here at the right time. Just now my brothers closed the door, you came, even if I promised. Let you in, I'm afraid my brothers will also have opinions, look..."
Shopkeeper Song understood, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I understand the rules, I understand the rules, a little meaning is not respectable,"
As he spoke, a large ingot of silver was stuffed again, a full fifty taels, and the officer's face immediately turned from cloudy to clear, and he smiled and said: "You are too polite, then I have to respect it as well. Yes, little ones, open the door, by the way, this guest officer, what are you looking for, Mr. Yang, of my family?"
Shopkeeper Song stretched out his hand to pull him aside, and whispered quietly: "Look at your lord, I have brought Mrs. Yang's wife and children. I also hope you can give me advice on where Mr. Yang lives. When Mrs. Yang's reward comes down, I will never I forgot your copy,"
The officer suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand, called a trusted soldier, and said: "Er Gouzi, hurry up, lead the way, and take this guest officer to Lord Yang’s house. The car is the family of Lord Yang. Please be careful on your way,"
Er Gouzi got the chicken feathers as the arrow, and immediately raised his toes, raised his spear and ran ahead, clearing the road all the way, causing him to jump. With that slow pedestrian, he would inevitably get a kick or two on his butt. Er Gouzi's mouth scolded from time to time: "Hurry up and get out of the way, blocking the way of Mrs. Yang's family. Be careful of your dog's head."
In Guanyao, Yang Huai and Gao Pei were sitting opposite each other. They were drinking there. Suddenly they saw the old family outside the door staggering in and stammering: "Old man, I am overjoyed, madam, madam, she took the young master. And Miss came back,"
