There is an Wengcheng behind each city gate in the inner city, and each gate has a thousand-jin gate. Even if the enemy is lucky enough to attack the first gate, he will be blocked by the thousand-jin gate put down by the Wengcheng and become a turtle in the urn. Due to the strength of the mountains, an outer city was built with 18 gates. The circumference is nearly a hundred miles, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

If you look from top to bottom, you will find that there are several small beasts guarding this wild beast. These small beasts are guarding the small towns surrounding the huge city of Yingtian. Among them, the small guarding town in the southwest is named Said: Jiangning Town.

Why?!

He was proficient in bow and horse, and his good marksmanship was praised by the world.
The close military control and the powerful coach are the confidence for Jiangning to live and work in peace and contentment.
In the early morning, after Jiangning Town opened the city gate, groups of people and horse-drawn carriages came and went in an endless stream.
Amid the flow of people, a team led by a wealthy businessman walked out from the city to the city gate. The leading wealthy businessman was like a nouveau riche, wearing a brand-new silk brocade dress, a mink fur coat, a jade pendant hanging on his waist, and a bracelet on his hand. He bought six gold rings and two jade rings, and more than thirty servants pushed and pulled eight carts. Behind the wealthy businessman, the carriages were loaded with vegetables, fruits, wine and meat. Two of the carriages were pulling wine jars. There were several open wine jars at the top, exuding a strong aroma of wine. Behind the last carriage there was There were more than twenty servants following behind with heavy burdens in their hands.
"Haha, the military master has worked hard. Thanks to the military master guarding the gate day and night, we can live a peaceful life. It is disrespectful to be petty."
The wealthy businessman is a familiar person and walks towards him with a smile. The city gate guards will A full five taels of silver was stuffed into the hands of the leader, Chengmen Primary School, and then he waved his hand to the servant behind him and loudly ordered, "Second pillar, third Taoist son, you two come over and hand over the food and wine you brought." To the military master, Wang Er, Liu Qiang, you The two of them came over with two jars of good wine. It was freezing cold and they wanted to warm up the military master who was looking after the door.” He was hit by a servant on the side, but there was no trace As if glaring at him, Erzhuli suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words, "Yes, yes, here we come."
Chengmen Primary School's attention was all on the silver in his hand, and the gatekeeper's All the attention is on the food boxes and wine jars. This little episode of Erzhuzi's slip of the tongue did not attract their attention at all.
"Ahem, this is so bad."
Chengmen Primary School couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, clenched the money tightly in his hands, and pretended to decline.
"Master Jun, this is just a little thought on our part. We can make a lot of money and live a good life in the back, not because you protect us from the wind and rain in the front, it's just a little thought. Please also Military Master Wan Yu declined. The sky and the ground are freezing, but you are still here. It's really hard to stick to your post. A glass of wine can warm you up a little. In fact, not only you, we also have to go to the military camp in front to reward the troops. "
The wealthy businessman said with a smile, insisting. Money, wine and food were given to Chengmen Primary School and others as a token of gratitude.
"Haha, since that's the case, then we can't be more respectful than obeying orders. Thank you very much for your kindness." Chengmen Primary School took advantage of the situation and retracted the hand that was holding the silver. He didn't mean to refuse in the first place. These five taels of silver However, the military salary he received for half a year, as well as the richly scented food and wine, made him and the soldiers under his command salivate with dissatisfaction, and they were not willing to push it out.
"Thank you very much for your kindness." The soldiers guarding the door eagerly took over the food and wine, all of them smiling like flowers.
"Haha, military lord, we are determined to go to the military camp in front to reward the troops. Thank you military lords for protecting us from the Japanese pirates. It's just that we are not familiar with the military camp. It will probably take a lot of effort to enter the military camp to reward the troops. , in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Master Jun, can you send someone Come with us and call down the camp gate, so that we don’t waste time at the camp gate. The food and wine will not taste good when they are cold, and the taste will be reduced by at least half.”
The wealthy businessman smiled at him. The gatekeeper said, asking the gatekeeper to send someone to accompany them to reward the army.
"Haha, it's a trivial matter, it's a trivial matter." The gatekeeper responded nonchalantly, and immediately turned to look at a gatekeeper soldier and waved his hand, "Zhang Suo, isn't your brother-in-law If you're guarding the gate of the camp, just accompany them. Don't worry, I'll leave you a share of the food and drinks."
"Okay," the gatekeeper Zhang Suole nodded.
I just accepted people's money and food and drinks, but this little thing of calling someone in is nothing. (End of this chapter)
