The daily life of the bandits in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 146 The Unreasonable City Gatekeeper

While giving Queen Xiao a massage, Chu Yang told her about his plan in Dingxiang.

He asked Empress Xiao to agree to Princess Yicheng's request first, and to stabilize Princess Yicheng first, and told her that the Mingyue Restaurant in the city was his property and also his stronghold in Dingxiang, and asked her to go to Mingyue Restaurant to find him if she needed any help. people.

Chu Yang left the palace before noon, and the relationship between the two has not deepened. However, he kept the last bottom line. This is what he promised to Queen Xiao, and he must abide by it.

In the next few days, Chu Yang was busy buying wool and sheepskins, and the inn they stayed in had officially changed its name to 'Mingyue Restaurant Dingxiang Branch'.

At this time, Chu Yang was standing in the hall on the first floor. There were many local people sitting in the hall. They were all herdsmen, and beside Chu Yang was a woman who was a Turkic translator.

This woman was the girl Chu Yang and Concubine Yang met in the grassland.

A few days ago, when she came to sell sheepskins and wool, she recognized Chu Yang at a glance and took the initiative to say hello. Seeing that it was her, Chu Yang chatted with her.

From the chat, Chu Yang knew the girl's name, her name was Zhishi Tana, and her boyfriend was Guli Gelang, both of whom were nomads in their own right.

Seeing that her Tang language was not bad, Chu Yang hired her as an interpreter for Mingyue Village Dingxiang Office.

Now the main person in charge of the Dingxiang Office of the Mingyue Village Office is the squad leader of his ninth security squad—Shouhou.

After Chu Yang leaves Dingxiang, Thin Monkey will take his full squad to station to run the office.

The office is a commercial organization on the surface, but it is actually a Chu Yang spy agency.

At the same time, Chu Yang gave Shouhou an order to absorb those honest Turkic people into Mingyue Village so that they could play a greater role in Dingxiang.

Inside Mingyue Restaurant, Chu Yang heard a questioning voice.

"Brothers of the herdsmen, do you understand my request?"

The girl next to her, Tana, immediately began to translate.

Chu Yang's request was that he hoped that the herdsmen would divide the grades of wool into three grades, with different prices for each grade, and the same requirement for sheepskin.

After getting the consent of the herdsmen, Chu Yang dismissed the meeting. He still had to arrange a lot of things, so he had to finish the arrangements earlier and go back earlier, which took him too much time.

If it continues to delay, it will be difficult to deal with the snow, the cold dew has passed a few days ago, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the wild geese have started to fly south.

After he arranged these things, at night, he went to the Sui Palace to accompany Empress Xiao, and gave her the seal of the consultant of Mingyue Village Dingxiang Office.

When he left the Sui Palace early in the morning, he gave Empress Xiao a mobile phone, power bank and MP4. With these things, it doesn't matter how far apart they are.

At noon, in front of Dingxiang Mingyue Restaurant
There were dozens of horse-drawn carriages in a row. At the front of the convoy was the Chu Yang family's carriage, and at the back were trucks filled with wool and sheepskin.

Excited smiles filled the faces of these truck drivers. Most of them were local herdsmen, and none of them had traveled far. They were also happy to be able to follow a big boss like Chu Yang to Jingzhou this time.

When chatting with people in the future, you can also blow about how far you have been.

Moreover, Chu Yang offered free wages, which anyone would be willing to exchange.

At this moment, Chu Yang was standing beside his carriage, talking with the thin monkey in front of him.

"You are in Dingxiang, first set up this transportation team, look at the recruitment of workers, and conduct militarized management. You must have military training before you can work. If you have any difficulties, please let me know. If you have any small troubles, you can find Empress Xiao. We are now Big business group, don't be afraid to offend the dignitaries of the later Sui Dynasty."

"You are an old man in Mingyue Village, so you should be able to handle this matter."

The thin monkey smiled and said to Chu Yang, "Village Master, don't worry."

"Okay, I'm going." Chu Yang nodded.

"Villager, be careful all the way." The thin monkey had a bit of reluctance on his face, he hadn't left Chu Yang's side much.

Chu Yang is very charismatic, and he always makes people lean towards him.

He wanted a magnet to attract everyone in Mingyue Village.

Seeing that the thin monkey was about to cry, Chu Yang patted his chest, "Okay, don't be a mother-in-law."

"gone."

After he finished speaking, he turned over, got into the carriage, opened the curtain, and turned into the carriage.

"Set off."

With a loud roar, the convoy slowly squirmed, and then moved forward normally.

When Chu Yang's motorcade left Dingxiang City Gate, he sent a text message to Empress Xiao.

"Honey, I'll go back first. If you're free, you can come to Jingzhou to see me, and I'll come to see you when I'm free."

"Put your head out of the carriage and see where I am."

After reading the text message, Chu Yang immediately stretched out his head. He thought that Empress Xiao was seeing him off at the gate of the city, but he didn't see it.

After searching for a while, I saw her at the top of the city wall.

Immediately waved his hand and shouted:
"Sister, just call me if you miss me."

After finishing speaking, he spit out the letter like a snake.

Empress Xiao, looking at Chu Yang's appearance, cursed shamelessly in her heart.

Then I sent him a message back, "Understood, stinky rascal, I'm going back to the palace."

During these days with Chu Yang, she felt youthful, and also fully saw his shamelessness.

She and Chu Yang are very close, and they are only one step away.

Although she said she was going back to the palace, she still stood on the city and watched the convoy going away.

Finally, he said in a voice that he could only hear: Little villain, I wish you success soon.

……

When Chu Yang's motorcade came to Dingxiang, it was relatively fast, but now it's not so fast when they go back.

Mangwazi commanded the entire convoy to move forward, and he had the final say on whether to stop or go.

In Chu Yang's words: Reckless boy, you're doing well, I'm going to listen to your arrangements.

Chu Yang was joking. He handed over the management of the motorcade to Mang Wazi, so he would not intervene. This was the cultivation of the people below.

When he said this, Mangwazi had a silly smile on his face, saying that this was the cultivation of the village owner.

This is indeed Chu Yang's cultivation. If he doesn't take good care of the people below, he will be the one who is tired.

At this moment, the winding convoy was passing through the edge of the desert. Chu Yang and the others had been wandering back to the city for a long time.

At this moment, Mang Wazi rode to the window of Chu Yang's carriage.

"Master, Dejing City is ahead, shall we go in and have a rest?"

Chu Yang opened the curtain, looked at Mang Wazi, "After Dejing City, Xiazhou City will be here."

"Yes, village master." Mang Wazi nodded foolishly.

"Don't go, go directly to Xiazhou City to rest."

This Xiazhou is the territory of Liang Shidu, which belongs to Liang State.

Originally, Chu Yang didn't plan to rest in Xiazhou City, but the wives wanted to take a good rest, so they asked him to find a bigger town to rest.

Along the way, they are all small inns. They don’t have good rest and food at all, and the conditions for bathing are also poor. There is no bathtub, so you can only fetch a bucket of water for bathing, and wash in a fixed bathroom. It's quite simple, just a small room made of wooden sticks, and the crack on the door is two fingers wide.

After Chu Yang confirmed that he had arrived in Xiazhou, the eldest grandson Wugou and others in the car were very happy, and they could finally take a bath and sleep well.

two hours later

Chu Yang and the others were stopped outside Xiazhou City. Cars lined up in a long line, blocking the gate of the city, while Mangwazi was negotiating with the gate guard.

"No way, no way." The city gate guard looked proudly at Mang Wazi with his nostrils.

"Brother, do you know who is sitting in our car? I'll scare you to death when I say it." Mang Wazi stretched out his finger and poked the guard's chest muscle.

"I don't care who is sitting in your car, if you want to enter the city, leave ten carts of goods to honor your brothers."

"Isn't it? Brothers."

The proud guard asked the surrounding city gate soldiers.

"That's right, the general is right." The guards around the city gate agreed with a smile.

They are very sure that they can kill the group of businessmen in front of them.

This situation has been done many times, specifically to bully these unfamiliar fat sheep.

And these fat sheep can also live, but it is hard to say whether they will meet horse thieves when they are resting in the wild. Where there are people, there must be horse thieves.

Now that Chu Yang's team is here, they are definitely going to go in. If they travel lightly, they will definitely not enter the city.

Just like when they went to Dingxiang, they walked in a hurry and did not enter the towns along the way to rest. Sometimes they would take a rest when they encountered such passing towns.

When I came back this time, in order to enter Xiazhou City to rest, I had to walk two hours longer.

If they don't rest in Xiazhou City, they will go directly to Wuyuan in Yanzhou, which will enter the border of the Tang Dynasty, and then go straight down, pass the Yima Pass in Qingzhou, and then arrive in Jingzhou.

They have only gone halfway now, that is to say, it will take so much time.

If these goalkeepers do not let Chu Yang enter the city, then Chu Yang can only go to the small city of Changze, which belongs to Xiazhou. From Changze to Wuyuan, it will waste another two hours, which adds up to four hours up.

It was impossible for Chu Yang to agree to this kind of time cost.

At this moment, Chu Yang got off the carriage and walked towards the gate of the city. He saw the smiling faces of the city guards from a distance, and he suddenly became upset.

This group of idiots kept me out of the city, and they still have beep faces and smiles, I laugh at your old man.

He walked up with a fierce look in his eyes, looked at Mang Wazi and asked:

"what's up?"

"Villager, they want to detain ten carts of our goods before letting us in."

Mangwazi shrank his neck, he was a little afraid that Chu Yang would scold him.

"You are really useless."

Sure enough, Chu Yang pointed at Mang Wazi's nose and cursed.

The reckless boy poked his neck back, and said aggrievedly: "I can't think of a way!"

"Think of a way, look at me, learn from it."

Chu Yang rolled Mang Wazi's eyes, passed him, and walked in front of the city guard.

"Are you in charge of the city gate?"

"How come you are what this fat pig said..."

Snapped!
Chu Yang jumped up and slapped the defender in the face.

"My man, do you dare to scold me?"

The city defender was buzzing from Chu Yang's slap. It is conceivable that Chu Yang hit his face with the strength of Xiang Yu's hand. Of course, he withdrew some strength, otherwise he would definitely be able to kill this man. Defender.

Seeing that his head had been beaten, the soldiers around him definitely didn't want to. Immediately, he stabbed at Chu Yang with his spear and scolded him.

"Big but a thief."

Chu Yang grabbed the city gatekeeper with one hand and locked his throat.

"If you move again, I will strangle him to death."

"Dog, dare to hit anyone who pays attention, so I'll find you Master Liang."

"Bold... how dare you call His Majesty by his first name." The city gatekeeper said with difficulty.

Although he was strangled by Chu Yang, he could barely speak.

"Calling him Mr. Liang is to think highly of him, he is a hammer, His Majesty."

"Okay, I won't beep with you anymore, if you let us in, if you don't let us in, I will kill you now."

After Chu Yang finished speaking, the strength in his hand was a bit mastery, and it was very possible that he could pinch his throat at any time.

Feeling that he was about to suffocate, the city gatekeeper quickly waved his hand to make way for the gatekeepers.

Who would have trouble with Xiao Ming.

"It's too early to give way, hum." Chu Yang let go of his hand and pushed the city gatekeeper.

Chu Yang looked at Mang Wazi and waved his hand, "Lead the team in."

"Hey, okay, it's still the village master's job." Mang Wazi said foolishly.

Chu Yang was speechless. This reckless brat is quite good at flattering at critical times.

When the motorcade continued to enter the city, Chu Yang patted the city goalkeeper on the shoulder.

"If you want to trouble me after we enter the city, I don't mind."

"My name is Chu Yang. I am the head of Mingyue Village. People on the road call me Snow Mountain Flying Tiger."

"If you think your life is too long, you will come to grandpa. See if I will cut you."

After Chu Yang finished speaking, he patted the city gatekeeper's face forcefully, making a 'papapa' sound.

The city gate general touched his neck, pretending to be afraid and said: "Don't dare, please come in."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to invite Chu Yang to enter the city.

When Chu Yang entered the city, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at the city gatekeeper fiercely, and at the same time said with his lips: Be careful with me.

Looking at the back of Chu Yang leaving, the city gatekeeper showed evil eyes, thinking about the plan of revenge.

Chu Yang was not afraid of his revenge. He walked peacefully along the way, and he was also protected by a secret guard.

Having said that, even without the protection of the hidden guards, Chu Yang's guard company would have no problem dealing with these people.

It's not how fierce Chuyang's guard company is, but that there are not many troops stationed in Xiazhou City. It is a border city in the north of Liang State, and the north is Turkic. Dog, Turkic will give whatever he wants.

There is no danger for Liang Guo to offer Turks as father, but given the poverty level of Liang Guo, there is nothing good for Turks.

There are only four states in Liang State, Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou and Xiazhou. There was also Qingzhou, but it was taken by Tang Guozhan years ago.

After Chu Yang entered leisurely, he looked around.

It's really bad.

Originally, he thought that this was a big city anyway, so it wouldn't be bad, but it completely broke his seriousness.

There are only three words to describe it, dirty and messy.

No wonder the gatekeepers of the city will collect the foreign water at the gate. This shows that Liang Shidu of the Liang Kingdom is still not capable enough.

It is not expected to be an emperor, no matter how good the innate conditions are, it will not be possible to realize the co-lord of the world.

In the end, Chu Yang's convoy stopped at the largest inn in Xiazhou City. There were hundreds of people in their group, and ordinary inns couldn't accommodate them.

Not long after staying in Chuyang, Mang Wazi came to tell him that there were horse thieves coming to rob the inn.
