Chapter 19 The sound of the dragon drum (1)

As soon as the sky was dawn, there were many sneaky figures on the streets inside the south gate of Yazhou City.

In the cave of the city gate, the lamp oil in several windproof lanterns was about to dry up, and the fire became much dimmed. Several soldiers on the night patrol cursed in a low voice, standing in the cave of the city gate, moving their almost stiff bodies.

The sneaky figures on the street carefully avoided the gaze of several state soldiers and looked at the closed city gate with a hint of expectation.

Outside the city gate, in the dense forest beside the official road, a few melodious bird songs sounded.

Ah Que, who was covered in dew, yawned, opened her eyes, and lazily stretched on a branch as thick as a goose egg, stretched her body, and slid down from the branch as soon as she tilted her body.

The tall and thin Aqui landed quietly like a cotton ball. He curled into a ball under the tree and looked around instinctively and vigilantly. Several little sparrows on the branches above his head chirped and screamed twice. Aqui smiled and stood up lazily.

With the hazy morning light, you can see that Aque's beautiful face, two long eyebrows were like two long and thin swords, slanted towards his temples. The long eyebrows, which were originally quite brilliant, were twisted by Aque's lazy smile, and were so lazy that they seemed to be two full-fed and drunk cats curled up on his forehead.

After yawning again, Ah Bi walked through the woods and came to the official road.

Looking back at the direction of Huya's mouth, Aque laughed and scolded: "A group of killing embryos, scary, this bloody smell can be smelled more than twenty miles away. For the sake of the gold that cannot be eaten or drunk, is it?"

After moving his body, he grabbed his hair bun with force, and his long hair was dispersed randomly. Ah Que tore open the tight clothes on his body, then pulled out a dagger and cut several long cracks into his clothes. He rolled two times on the official road made of yellow sand, and suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

With a 'dong' bell, a faint light curtain over the city city quietly retreated, and the long shouts of the city gate officials came from the city gate tower of the Sifang City Gate. Then the sound of iron chain friction sounded, and the Sifang City Gate of the Sifang City opened at the same time.

Aque ran over the official road panting. Before the south gate of Yazhou City was completely opened, he bumped into it and almost hit the tip of several state soldiers who were thrusting up their guns.

"Who? What do you do? What do you do? Do you want to die early in the morning?" He was frightened by Aque early in the morning, and the soldiers guarding the city gate shouted in anger.

"Report to the official, report to the official!" Ah Que's face was twisted, and his two long eyebrows were jumping on his pretty face with murderous intent. He was furious and roaring loudly with a hint of panic: "Report to the official, report to the official, report to the official, kill, rob, our gold was robbed!"

After pushing away several spears that were facing the chest, Ah Que ran along the avenue and ran towards the city.

On both sides of the street inside the south gate, many of the guys who had just opened the shop door were excited and curious and poked out half of their bodies, staring at Ah Que with wide eyes. Report to the official, killing someone, robbing? Oh, I've been talking all day today!

Those sneaky figures laughed almost at the same time!

They all recognized Aque, one of the two iron-kicks around Chu Tian. Early in the morning, Aque, dressed in ragged and dirty clothes, ran into Yazhou City and shouted and wanted to "report the official"!

Several people stomped their feet suddenly, clenched their fists and waved their arms.

Hey, I'm afraid that the thing that my master raised was not what happened? That's 15,000 taels of red gold!

Many people turned around and ran to their master's residence, jogging quickly. These people also had to suppress the smiles on their faces, and even hid their heads and tails to prevent the people around them from discovering their "abnormal movements". They really endured it.

In the city gate building above the south gate, a middle-aged scholar wearing a long green gown pushed open a window, looked at the back of the running Que with a smile, and nodded happily: "Go quickly to report to the prefect, Li Duwei and Zhao Zhengwei have done anything!"

Two young men dressed in green, Chang Sui hurriedly ran down the city gate, jumped on two big flower horses that had been prepared, and took a detour to the prefect's mansion.

Ah Que ran along the avenue panting. While running, he yelled hysterically: "Report to the official, report to the official, kill, robbery, many people died, many people were killed, my god, so many people died! Gold, gold, my elder brother's gold was robbed, 15,000 taels of yellow gold!"

There is much hardship in seeking life in the city of Yazhou. Whether it is the butcher who sells meat, the vendor who serves as breakfast stalls, the man who collects the manure of the night, the trash cleaner, or even the servants who go out to buy it, the constables, the yamen runners, the clerks, etc. who have just got off work from major yamen. Many people gather in the streets and alleys, drinking soy milk, eating noodles, eating pancakes, and filling wontons, all of them are busy.

Aque ran by, and many heroes who were hanging out on the streets recognized him at a glance.

"Brother Que, come a bowl of wontons?"

"Scared, don't call him, look at him like this, something happened!"

"What can I do? What's the matter? Could it be that the gold from Chuchao's head was robbed?"

"If you are robbed, it will be expected. Scared, more than 10,000 gold, just a fish in Chu, where can you save the power?"

"Tsk, look at Brother Que'er's appearance, how many people have died?"

Gradually, some idle people in the market who like to watch the fun threw a few big money at the breakfast stall and followed Aque with great enthusiasm.

Gradually, thirty or fifty idle men followed Aque and came to the prefect of Jizhou with noise all the way.

The red lacquer door was covered with golden door nails, and two three-meter-high single-horned stone sculptures stood on both sides of the gate. Twenty-four high-quality soldiers wearing sterling silver armor were lined up, and the long gilded spear in their hands emitted a faint light in the morning light.

Seeing a large group of idle men running over with Aque from afar, a military man suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Aque and others and shouted sternly: "The prefect's main residence is, how dare you be arrogant only if you splash? Retreat, otherwise you will catch them all and beat them to death!"

With a buzzing sound, the twenty-four military men were neatly holding long spears and stabbed forward fiercely. The spear broke through the wind and made a dull "buzzing" sound, which was amazing. Except for Ah Que, other idle people stopped on the street more than ten feet away, and did not dare to take another step forward.

Aque ran forward with a breath of breath, and tripped down, fell in a very embarrassing manner, rolling forward and turning seven or eight steps away. He gasped and climbed up, looking at the military men and shouted: "I'm not here to make trouble, I'm here to report to the officials!"

The military man who had just spoken pointed at Aque and shouted sternly: "Report to the official? Is the prefect's mansion a place where you report to the official? If you have any injustice, go to various yamen in the prefecture. Lord Taishou is in charge of military and political affairs in a state. What's the matter with you? How dare you disturb the prefect?"

Aque didn't say anything, and he strode to a bronze drum on the right side of the gate of the prefect's mansion.
