Chapter 142 Wujiabao (2)
Wujiabao heard that the name seemed to be a gathering place for merchants, and there was no outstanding place, but when we got closer, Ying Guang realized that he was thinking a little simple.
The three or four meters high earth wall extends for five or six miles. After every few hundred meters of wall, there is a wooden arrow tower. The entire Wujiabao is guarded by such arrow towers, leaving only two exits, one south and one north. The dried solid wood gate is tightly wrapped in one place by copper strips, and the thickness of nearly two feet is enough to withstand the general impact.
There were two rows of strong men standing at the gate of the city, Yishui's black shirt and trousers, holding long elm sticks in his hand, staring at the people entering the city. Not far away, a middle-aged man dressed in an account was smiling and collecting the fees for entering the fort. The people passing by did not raise any objections to this, which shows that this has always been the case here.
After lined up behind the long line, Dian Jun whispered to Ying Guang: "Old Ying, we have given all our money to the old master and grandson. When we arrived at the door, I'm afraid there will be a lot of disputes, then..."
"Yeah." Ying Guang nodded softly and replied in a low voice: "Let your brothers be on guard, listen to my orders later, and withdraw if it doesn't work. You must not be held by these people. Also, if the fight starts, don't hurt the people around you."
The two of Lao Ge's ancestors and grandsons did not expect that these military men would have given them their last family fortune. After paying the fee, they entered the fort gate. After walking a few steps, they heard a noise behind them. When they turned around, they were shocked, but Ying Guang and others were stopped.
A middle-aged man dressed in a small leader looked up and down at Ying Guang. Seeing that several murderous men were quickly following him, he knew that the young man in front of him was not that simple, so although he stopped Ying Guang, his tone was very polite.
"This friend, it seems that he is not a local person. The old castle owner has ordered that anyone entering Wujia Castle must pay the entry fee. After paying the fee, your safety will be protected by us. Moreover, no one can force you to do anything here, and any transaction here is fair."
"Well?" Ying**** Yan smiled slightly and said to the leader: "Since the rules are set by people, they naturally vary from person to person. Ordinary people need your protection, and these rules are useful to them. But for people like us who are capable of protecting themselves, the rules here cannot be restrained. That sir, right?"
The little leader's expression changed and he subconsciously turned back to the accountant.
The accountant suddenly smiled and walked out of the desk. He looked at Ying Guang with interest, then turned around and said to the leader: "Let these people come over, block the door and look like it, don't delay other people's itinerary."
"yes."
Ying Guang and others looked at each other, then followed the account room into the fort gate. A man dressed as a servant next to him sat in the original position of the account room and continued to charge the fees for the person entering the fort.
Lao Ge Tou stood by and moved forward or retreated, and he was frozen in place for a moment. Seeing this, Ying Guang walked to Lao Ge Tou first.
"Brother-in-law, this trip is so offensive. Please don't remember it in your heart. Now that we have arrived in Wujiabao, we should leave."
"Hey, hey, Jun Ye can leave."
Lao Getou didn't know what to say to Ying Guang, but he just agreed and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had gone far away.
Xiu'er next to her asked timidly: "Grandpa, will we see them again in the future?"
Lao Ge Tou shook his head thoughtfully, pulled Xiu'er and disappeared into the abortion.
"Sir, I wonder where we are going to take us?"
Ying Guang followed the accountant through several streets and alleys. While walking, he felt that the person had no malicious intentions, so he simply asked directly.
The accountant laughed, stroked the thin beard under his forehead with his hands, and looked at Ying Guang and others carefully again.
"Actually, at the entrance of the fort, you said it well. There is indeed more than one way to enter the fort. Our fortress master likes to make friends with heroes. As long as you have real skills, you naturally don't have to pay any fees. But if you have a reputation, then the entire Wu family fortress will not welcome you, and you will be expelled as soon as possible. But I don't quite understand why you asked me directly when you were at the door? Do you see that I am the actual person in charge at the door?"
"What's the difficulty!" Ying Guang sneered: "You can know from your outfit that you can get in touch with the actual people. If you really make changes, you will know. Besides, asking more questions is not a bad thing. If it fails, you just don't enter the fort."
Hearing Ying Guang's explanation, the accountant couldn't help but feel silenced, and smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly. It turned out that he was thinking too much.
After turning a few turns, Ying Guang and others came to a mansion. Two strong men stood at the door. Seeing the accountant's wife taking Ying Guang and others, they just bowed slightly and stopped moving, and did not even ask for weapons from Ying Guang and others.
After entering the door, I turned around and arrived at a small front yard. Unlike the wealthy families, there were no famous flower pavilions, nor any rockery and strange rocks. There were only a flat site and a row of weapons frames placed on both sides. Ying Guang also found that the lengths and weights of these weapons were different. The only thing that was the same was that the hand guards were wrapped with thick linens. Judging from the color of the linen, the color was already darker by sweat stains. It can be seen that these weapons were not the decorations of the owner, but were often used.
"This castle lord is not simple." Ying Guang looked carefully for a while and said with a serious expression: "When he entered the door, the guards at the door did not stop us from holding weapons, and did not even ask. Even if the accountant guided him, he should not be so relaxed. What does this mean? This shows that people don't take us seriously and think that even with weapons, they can't make any waves.
Besides, after coming in, the decoration of the front yard was really simple. Think about it, in Xianyang, we have also seen those wealthy families, who did not build their own front yard to show their financial resources. But here, what did we see? The small schoolyard! Weapon stand! Except for those children of the generals, who would put these things at home!"
Hearing Ying Guang's words, Dian Jun and Ao Lie also put away the contempt on their faces. After thinking about it carefully, this matter was indeed strange. Just by a few conversations at the gate of the fort, they dared to bring people to the mansion. Who is this family!
Dian Jun quietly took off the ring on the handle of the axe, walked to Ying Guang and whispered: "Old Ying, will our identity be exposed and we are sold..."
Ying Guang shook his head and asked back, "Did that team of Zhao Bing leave a living?"
"No, Ao Lie and I were in charge of our own hands, and we didn't have any survivors!"
"That's good. Let the brothers be more energetic. The corpse and blood have survived. I don't believe that I can capsize the boat in this small puddle!" Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
