Chapter 626 (1/2)

Yanzhou, Puyang.

A young man wearing a green shirt walked on the road with a strong horse. The horse ran for more than 100 li. It seemed that he was tired and followed the young man quietly.

The young man was dressed in a blue cloth shirt, which was not so gorgeous, but his clothes were washed very clean. His face was not very handsome, but his eyes were very sharp. His thin lips were tightly pressed, revealing a heroic spirit.

”Puyang? At last

The young man looked around, and in his sight there was a huge city wall, the city wall was tall and thick, and above the gate were two big characters written in small seal script Puyang. There are many antlers at the gate of the city. More than a dozen of the soldiers who are determined to examine the passers-by are full of spirit and strong physique. You can see that they are excellent teachers.

Outside the city, there are two lines, dozens of people are lining up to walk in, but they have to hand in a five baht coin.

”A big money? The price is not high. ” Smiling at the corners of his mouth, the young man reached for a five baht coin from the package, and led the horse forward.

”Go in, next.”

A middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes seems to be a farmer. The next one is the young man. With a smile on his face, he held out his hand with a five baht coin in it.

”Two military masters, it's hard work.”

The young man showed a harmless smile, but the two sergeants looked at him with sharp eyes.

”Boy, what's behind you?” The sergeant on the left stares at the cloth bag behind the youth and says coldly.

The young man said with a ha ha: ”two military masters, just now the turbulent times, everywhere bandits rampant, villains naturally want to take the same blade to protect themselves.”

”Hum! You can rest assured that there is no banditry in Yanzhou. ” The sergeant coldly replied: ”you hand over the weapon quickly. The court has ordered that no one, except the government and the army personnel, carry into the city weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows, axes, axes, hooks and forks, or they will be seized on the spot.”

”Ah?” The young man's expression was slightly surprised: ”but the students came from Jingzhou and met many thieves along the way. Is there really no banditry in Yanzhou?”

”It's nature! I would like to ask you, since you entered Yanzhou, have you ever met robbers on the way? ” Asked the sergeant, looking up.

The young man frowned and thought, ”it seems that there is no such thing.”

”Of course.” The sergeant's face showed a proud look: ”not only Yanzhou, but also the place of Guanzhong, where banditry was eliminated. According to the order of the general, the bandits plundered the common people and robbed the merchants. The king's division of the imperial court was ordered to suppress the bandits. Every time we went there, the first priority was to completely exterminate the local bandits. ”

”Maybe these thieves and bandits took refuge temporarily when they heard the news?” The young man said with a smile: ”there are three grottoes of cunning rabbits. Since the imperial court has sent a large army to fight against them, these thieves and bandits are not fools. I'm afraid that they will escape and come out again when the wind is calm?”

”It's nothing.” The sergeant replied like a stream: ”the general had foresight. If the common people reported bandits and rewarded them with grain, rice, money and silk, the common people would be jubilant when they heard that. There were no less than 100 thieves and bandits in Puyang that were exterminated by our king's division alone.”

”I see. It's a good idea.” The youth nodded thoughtfully.

”OK, OK, I have told you so much that the people behind me are rushing into the city.” The sergeant suddenly responded and said solemnly, ”hand in the murder weapon behind you and register it. I'll keep it for you for the time being and come back to collect it when you leave the city.”

”OK,” the young man said helplessly

After that, he untied the cloth bag behind him, pulled the cloth strip and unfolded it layer by layer, revealing a three foot long iron sword with sharp edges and good maintenance.

At the gate of the city, a sergeant sat on his knees with a table in front of him. The sergeant glanced at the young man holding an iron sword, but his eyes focused on the young man's palm.
