Chapter Thirty-Three

"What the hell is going on? Is it still allowed to do business?"

The owner of the street noodle stall muttered to himself, while quickly packing up the bowls and chopsticks on the table. It seemed that he was about to close the stall and go home.

Originally, although the business of the noodle stall was not as good as noon at this time, it was acceptable. The small vendors who had just entered Lianshan Town would visit his business regardless of whether they were hungry or not, so as not to have no place to eat when it was dark or they would eat too expensive.

But for some reason today, a team of soldiers first blocked Lianshan Town. Although they claimed to be allowed to enter but not leave, they looked at a group of ferocious black-armored soldiers guarding the entrance of the town. As long as they were not people who had to enter the town, they would probably be discouraged. They would rather take some time to go around the circle and pass by the side than to get stuck in the town.

But these businessmen didn't know that the road leading to the Central Plains and Yuexi was already full of soldiers and various checkpoints after passing the north of Lianshan Town. Even if they could bypass Lianshan Town, as long as they walked on the main road, they would still be stopped and searched.

Of course, the owner of the stall didn't know this. He only knew that these soldiers drove away his guests, and it made the town panic. By the way, even he was a little scared and had to close the stall in advance and go home. Maybe the wife at home would even be scolded by the ears...

A team of black armored knights came to the intersection of the street on the east side. The stall owner quickly closed the stall quickly, trying to get rid of everything when the knights came to him. He was really worried that these soldiers would smash his pots, bowls and chopsticks, because he occasionally went to listen to the old dreams in the West Tower. It is said that many soldiers were so unreasonable.

The checkpoint at the east intersection is similar to that at the south intersection, and it is also extremely simple and rough. The only difference is that the cross-border trees block the street, which seem to be a maple tree instead of ginkgo. There are only more than ten vendors queuing up on the street to search. If you want to complete the search before dark, there should be absolutely no problem.

At this time, the Tiger Wing Guard in charge of East Street led Liao Ju, standing in front of a knight and reporting something. The knight on the horse was wearing ordinary black iron armor, burly and strong, with a very heroic appearance, and his two thick beards were neatly repaired, revealing an extremely calm and serious atmosphere.

"Reported to General Guo, his subordinate Tiger Wing Guard led Liao Ju, and set up a checkpoint on the East Street of Lianshan Town under the order of Feng Junhou. So far, no suspicious figures or suspicious objects have been found." Liao Ju, who is sturdy and dark, looks a little dull, but his voice is ups and downs and extremely organized.

The knight, known as General Guo, looked at the vendors on the street who were being inspected and found that they did not look impatience or angry. He nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Captain Liao is doing well."

Liao Juyan's dark face couldn't help but show a hint of joy. You must know that the person in front of him is not an ordinary general, but Guo Qi, the deputy general commander of Longxiang Guard, "Guo has no shame". He is a person who does not give anyone any face in the army. It is said that even if the current emperor wants to enter the Longxiang Guard camp, he has to follow the rules in the army, otherwise he will be blocked outside.

But for some reason, General Guo was extremely caring for ordinary people, and he had the style of a famous general of ancient times who was "proud of the top but politely politely, bullying the strong but not be willing to bully the weak". He just didn't know how his unpleasant personality was so popular in the officialdom.

Guo Qi looked at the owner of a small stall in the distance, and was busy putting up the tables and chairs. He seemed to find it very interesting. His face slowly softened and asked in a warm voice: "Captain Liao, which street are you Feng Junhou?"

"Report to General Guo, Feng Junhou was searching the south street." Liao Ju did not dare to neglect at all and immediately replied loudly.

Guo Qi suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't continue to speak. He just nodded to Liao Ju, then activated the extremely strong black horse under him and slowly walked along the street towards the center of the town.

A team of black-armored knights with about a hundred people behind him also urged the horse to follow Guo Qi. Apart from the sound of horse hooves and stone slabs, there was no other sound. They carefully avoided vendors and pedestrians along the way, without any intense or domineering as Feng Yi entered the town.

But when he passed by the "Han Family Inn", Guo Qi suddenly stopped and looked at the mottled plaque, with a hint of nostalgia on his face. Until all the black-armored knights had passed by, Guo Qi then woke up like a dream, walking forward with a lonely face.

...

Feng Yi suddenly stood up, a look of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he found that he was still overestimating himself.

I thought that after being in the Tiger Wing Guard for a few years, I would not be afraid of Guo Qi anymore. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he can't care about him. Now I realize that Guo Qi's shadow is everywhere in the Imperial Guard. I just heard the sound of horse hooves slowly coming, and I couldn't help but stand up to greet this deputy general who "don't give anyone any face."

Feng Yi had just stood up and saw a burly figure coming into his eyes from afar. He couldn't help but feel nervous again, and subconsciously straightened his back. He didn't know whether he wanted to make himself look unafraid or to make himself more energetic so that he could leave a good impression on Guo Qi who was slowly walking.

For some reason, Li Mu didn't feel afraid at all. He even felt close and familiar with Guo Qi. According to his own ideas, this feeling should come from Mo Hanshan, because the burly man riding on the horse opposite him was not only more handsome, but in terms of temperament, he had many similarities with Mo Hanshan.

Guo Qi slowly came to Fengyi, but had no intention of getting off the horse. He pointed to the still crowded business trip on the street, and asked unhappily: "Feng Junhou, east, west, and north, is about to be searched. Why is the South Street where you are personally in charge of has not made any progress at all?"

"Report to General Guo, the subordinates found a strange person and some strange thing, so they delayed some time. I hope the general will forgive him."

Feng Yi did not dare to continue to act like a child of aristocratic family and replied respectfully: "I will ask the soldiers to speed up the search and try to let all the business travelers leave the town before dark."

Maybe Feng Yi had a good attitude and also explained the reason for the slow progress. Therefore, Guo Qi didn't think of this. He turned over and got off the horse and walked down to the chair. He pointed to the jade bi on the table and said, "Is this the strange thing you found? It's just a piece of white jade. Although the jade is pure and flawless, it is not an exaggeration to call it a priceless treasure, but it is not something we need to find."

Feng Yi showed an embarrassing look on his face. Although he had heard of some rumors about Guo Qi and originally thought it was a bit exaggerated, he only felt that those rumors were most likely true today. Guo Qi was really a strange person to be able to treat a piece of beautiful jade that was comparable to a jade seal so calmly and even coldly.

"General Guo, this jade bi is naturally unaware of your eyes, but it was found from a beggar, so my subordinates think that this beggar is quite suspicious."

Feng Yi couldn't help but glance at Yubi, and said hurriedly, then pointed to Li Mu who was standing beside him: "It was fallen from this beggar..."

Guo Qi remained silent and waited until Feng Yi stopped talking, and asked, "Horse Feng Jun, what did the orders given by the General, specifically said? Can you remember?"

Feng Yi's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He pondered for a moment: "The General asked us to search for four strange people, as well as everything on them. According to the information attached to the order, three of them were martial arts masters, and the last one was the weirdest..."

Guo Qi nodded, suddenly pointed at Li Mu and said, "Do you think he looks like a martial arts master?"

"Not like it." Feng Yi replied honestly.

Feng Yi is not honest. If a martial arts master who needs to be hunted by the army is chased by a big black dog and runs around, this martial arts master will be too worthless. It will make people laugh out loud if they say it out.

Guo Qi nodded again, with a smile on his face and said coldly: "Well, Feng Junhou, do you think he should be a flying person?"

"It shouldn't be able to fly..." Feng Yi became more and more embarrassed and replied in a low voice.

Feng Yi was helpless. He should have figured out these things, but for some reason, after seeing this beautiful jade, he kept trying to take them for himself and made several foolish moves. As a result, not only did the beautiful jade not get it, but he was in such an embarrassing situation. If he had known it, he would have let Li Mu go on the road and chased him to a place where no one could kill and rob him.

"Since he is not a martial arts master or a flying person, how can you be sure that he has a problem?" Guo Qi shook his head and his voice gradually became stern. "You are an officer of the Great Chu. The Law of Chu clearly stipulates that the army shall not interfere in local affairs. Since this person is not what we are looking for, and you think he has a problem, you can naturally let the local officials here handle this matter instead of inquiring about it yourself, which will affect the original things to be done."

Feng Yi suddenly felt silent and wanted to refute it, but he didn't dare to speak. He had to keep nodding and said, "Yes, my subordinates shouldn't. Let the old mayor of Lianshan Town deal with this matter."

After saying that, he didn't care about asking Guo Qi for instructions and immediately said to Han Yong: "Han Yong, go to the house of Old Town Zhao immediately and ask him to come over to deal with this matter to see if there is any problem with the beggar."

He had to let Li Mu have problems, otherwise wouldn't he become a bad person?

Han Yong and Liu Dafu couldn't help looking at each other. Li Mu wanted to get out of Lianshan Town, obviously because he was afraid that someone would be discovered. The old mayor didn't know about this. When the time comes, wouldn't he be able to hide anything? Li Mu, a young man from a small mountain village, suddenly possessed such a precious jade bi. He said that there was no problem, and I'm afraid no one would believe it.

"General Guo, I have something to say."
