Anti-Qing and Fuming: Beginning with Summoning the Fire Phoenix

Chapter 46
Midday.

Xuancheng.

The seat of Ningguo Mansion.

A group of four riders walked slowly towards the city gate.

At this time, passers-by entering and leaving the city.

He looked in surprise at the three men and one woman riding tall horses.

A face that looks like myself.

She cut her hair short and was not wearing Qing Dynasty costumes.And shiny leather boots never seen before.

The young man who takes the lead in the front and is the dominant one is still bald.

They have heard of the Tessi.

But those were blond, blue-eyed, hawk-nosed, alien faces with lush hair all over their faces!

Look at the city wall in front of you.

In Shen Xuan's feeling and memory, the word majestic written in those articles couldn't be compared.

The Xuanzhou city wall is nine miles and twelve steps long, two feet five feet high, and three feet thick. (Converted to the measurement of later generations, the length is close to five kilometers, and the city wall is [-] meters high.)
There are five city gates.There is a moat outside the wall, and five wooden bridges are built.

I just lamented that the ancients liked to use exaggerated techniques to write realistically.

Several guards standing at the gate of the city came over with spears.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

One of the leading men looked at him.

"Talk to my master in a low voice, otherwise, the wound on your head will hurt."

Yan Shuangying looked at each other condescendingly.

"Bold madman! I think you are impatient to live."

Although he was just a low-level military officer of the Qing army guarding the city gate, except for those officials and lords, no commoner in the past dared to speak to him like this.

"Looking at your attire, you can tell that you are definitely not good people. First arrest them, and then question them one by one."

"Slow!" Shen Xuan said.

"Why, is it possible that you still want to rebel?" the leading city gate guard asked coldly.

Yan Shuangying: "Don't make me say it a second time."

"You...take them all for me!" The adjutant gatekeeper was angry.

"Yes." Four Qing soldiers surrounded him.

At this time, a figure flew down and stood in front of Shen Xuan's horse, and said coldly: "If you don't ask, who is my Patriarch, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

Zheng Yashu looked at the Qing soldiers with unkind eyes.

"who are you?"

The gatekeeper adjutant had some sharp eyesight, seeing that the identities of the few people in front of him were uncertain, for fear of offending someone who shouldn't be provoked and his tone would soften immediately.

"You bastard, you blind guy. You're not qualified to ask this question? It's almost as good as calling the prefect of Ningguo."

Hearing Zheng Yashu's words, the adjutant gatekeeper was dumbfounded.Secretly thought that he really provoked the nobleman.

is hesitating.

Lin Xiaojiang stepped forward. , took out a few tickets that Zheng Yashu had given him earlier, obtained from the Jianping County Government and filled in and stamped.

On the way, Shen Xuan calculated the time and arrived in Xuancheng to recharge his batteries.He ordered to go down.

Things like road guides and door coupons for identification, whether they can be obtained or not depends on who they are.

The adjutant took it and took a look and knew that these were Thai and Western businessmen.

But I lost face, which is somewhat rewarding.

"You are merchants from Western and Western countries, but this is the Qing Dynasty, and there are Qing rules..."

I haven't finished talking yet, pop!
A hard green object hit the adjutant's face, and suddenly his face hurt, and two streams of blood flowed out from his nostrils.

"It's against you." The adjutant pulled out his waist knife violently.

"Dog slave, look what this is?" Shen Xuanyun said calmly.

The adjutant wiped his tears with his cuff, picked up the emerald waist card on the ground, and immediately knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so I ask the holy painter to forgive me for my sins."

Seeing that the Shangguan had knelt down, the rest of the officers and soldiers also knelt on the ground.

Shen Xuan: "For the sake of knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them, I will forgive you once."

As if being pardoned, the adjutant left the knife in his hand on the ground.

Carefully wiped the jade clean with his sleeve, and handed it up respectfully.

Shen Xuan took the waist card, and said a word: "Get lost!"

"Little man, get out now, get out now." The adjutant immediately led a group of his men into the Wengcheng.

roadside.

The people who were usually tortured by the city guards all clapped their hands and applauded after watching a good show.

into town.

I found a large-scale restaurant and asked for a private room.

After ordering a table of dishes slowly, several people feasted on them.

"Your Highness, the waist card belongs to the palace, right?" Lin Xiaojiang asked.

"Of course, you didn't see the watchdog, and you almost peed your pants in fright."

Zheng Yashu said carelessly, "Your Highness, where did you get that thing?"

Shen Xuan: "When we attacked the Jiangnan Navy camp a few days ago, we found it from a painter named Bernard."

It turns out that this guy Bernard knew Castiglione. They were both missionaries and painters.

On the recommendation of the other party, he also painted in the palace.It's just that he likes mountains and rivers, so he left the capital after a short time.

Before parting, Lang Shining obtained Qianlong's consent and gave him a waist card, saying that it could save his life at critical times.

Never thought of falling into Shen Xuan's hands.

Eat and drink well.

Lin Xiaojiang took the money given by Shen Xuan and went to the inn to open three upper rooms.

Originally, Zheng Yashu said to open two rooms, one for herself and His Highness, so as to serve the master.

Shen Xuan refused.

The word serve has multiple meanings.

Shen Xuan has not yet fully figured out the mechanism and character of the summoned character, if it is some kind of service.

He's not in the mood to think about that just yet.

When we arrived at the inn, we washed up.

Tell the waiter not to disturb.

Shen Xuan put on the short-wave radio earphones and asked if the situation was normal.

Fell on the bed and fell asleep.

If you run all night, you will get tired.

Fenggong Street.

Ningguo government office is located.

At this time, in the gazebo in the backyard.

The prefect Pei Jingyi, who was wearing a green shirt and had a long beard, was drinking tea with a man and a woman.

The man is over 40 years old. Although he looks thin, his pair is half the size of ordinary people, and his hands are full of calluses.

A woman in her thirties, with a muscular body, her shoulders seem to be the so-called slender shoulders, but after a little observation, you can tell that they are lumps of protruding muscles.

"Wen De. Master asked us to come here this time because he is worried about you."

The man looked a little worried.

Wende is Pei Jingyi's word, and he clasped his fists in a salute: "Wen De is very pleased that brothers and sisters are here."

"It stands to reason that our sect is the result of the fusion of the Qi family's military skills with the internal sect. Shen Xuan, under the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, should not have gone head-to-head. But after all, the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed for a hundred years. The Zhu family has already Disappear. No need to worry."

The woman said suddenly.

Pei Jingyi understood the meaning of junior sister Cui Fengying, and she was reminding the elder brother that Lu Yushi, the descendant of Lu Xiangsheng, a loyal minister of the former Ming Dynasty.

"Fengying doesn't need to remind, I know. The three of us have been learning from our master since we were young. What I worry about is that Shen Xun's kung fu. Alas! It's a pity that I have never been able to understand Yu Daqiu's essence of swordsmanship and internal strength. Otherwise, this This time we will keep Wende safe."

(Note: Yu Daqiu, a famous anti-Japanese official in the Ming Dynasty, once swept through Shaolin alone, without any opponent. A true story!)

Cui Fengying finally understood, apologized, and said:

"Senior brother, you don't have to belittle yourself. I don't believe the rumor that Shen Yan has become invulnerable at a young age. Everyone in this industry knows that external strength is used to forge the body, and internal strength is drawn into a gangly shape. Let's not say more You have to practice hard for ten years before you can get started. Brother Wende, what a talent, even though he was delayed by the scientific examination, he has practiced hard for [-] years and still hasn't gotten started."

"Forget it, I hope the rumors are false. Otherwise, this time, we..." Lu Yushi closed his mouth at this point.

The two of them felt strange.

He heard hurried steps outside the door.
