Chapter 23 Section VII
The towering North City Gate was opened, and the North Bridge built by the Yingcheng Gate and the color of the upper reaches of the floating river under the bridge, along with the gradually widening gap in the gate, were reflected in the eyes of everyone waiting to leave the city.
Yu Runsheng is also one of them.Four or five days a month, he would lead the mules of the pharmacy north out of the city and cross the floating river in the early morning to pick up the goods from the medicine field two miles away on the opposite bank.
This is a rare pleasure for him, because there is always someone waiting for him in the village...
The gates of the city were completely opened, but the soldiers guarding the city still did not let them go.
Yu Runsheng frowned and looked ahead.Violent wind and dust rolled in from the opposite end of the long north bridge.
Five hussars rushed towards Piaocheng, and quickly galloped across the stone bridge.
The guards shouted loudly to drive away the crowd in front of the city gate, and divided a passage in the center.Yu Runsheng had no choice but to lead the mule to the side and stand silently.
The five riders rushed to the city gate, and the five riders on the saddle restrained the horses at the same time.The galloping horse quickly stopped and stood up, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a good-blooded and well-trained horse.
Yu Runsheng carefully observed the five riders.Standing at the four corners are four middle-aged strong men in white clothes of one color, three with worn-out long knives with leather sheaths on their waists, and one with two long swords crossed on his back.
The eyes of the four warriors all revealed a breath of disregard for life - disregard for the life of the enemy or their own.
An old man with white hair and silver beard, wearing black robes and without a weapon, sat on a horse in the middle.
There was an aura in the old man's eyes that was different from the other four.
An air of authority.
Five riders stood still at the city gate.
Among the crowd waiting to leave the city, sixteen people suddenly came out in a row, and they were distributed in an orderly guard formation in the central passage.
One of the sixteen people walked forward.
"The road ahead is settled, we can enter the city."
The white-bearded old man nodded slightly on the horse.The five cavalry started at the same time, maintaining a neat formation like petals, galloping past the crowd on both sides.
As the cavalry passed by, Yu Runsheng stared at the old man in the center.
And the old man turned his eyes vigilantly at the same time.
The eyes of the two met for a brief moment.
The five riders left in the dust, leaving only smoke and dust curling up behind their tails.
But Yu Runsheng couldn't forget the ambition in the old man's eyes for a long time.
Yu Runsheng crossed the North Bridge and set foot on the land on the north bank of the Piaohe River. At the same time, Pang Wenying, the second elder of "Fengyilong" with great power, rode his horse to the main building of "Fengyilong Piaocheng Branch" located in the middle of Piaocheng Road. in front of the door.Pang Wenying's long silver-white beard fluttered in the morning wind, and his black robe fluttered.
Ge Yuansheng returned to the wooden house in the broken stone with a messy bun and clothes that were still half wet. Di Bin was the first to see his lonely figure.Di Bin was squatting on the roof to repair the hole where the rain leaked last night. When he saw Ge Yuansheng from a distance, he jumped down with joy. "Third Brother——" Ge Yuansheng walked into the wooden house without even looking at Di Bin, climbed into his hammock, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. Di Bin looked at Ge Yuansheng's body curled up quietly in mid-air in surprise, and clearly smelled the murderous aura remaining on him.
