In the main house in the backyard of the teahouse, Tang Yin met Kong Qing and Di You. When he took off the bamboo hat, Kong Qing immediately went forward and bowed. peeked at the hat and was secretly surprised, so it turned out that the young man was Feng King Tang Yin.
When Kong Qing introduced him to Tang Yin, Di You stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed deeply to Tang Yin, saying: "Little Di You greets Feng King!"
Logically speaking, with his status, when Tang Yin asked to kneel and bow to him, he would always do so. However, Di You was born a travelling adventurer, so he did not pay attention to etiquette. Furthermore, Feng Country was not a good thing to People of Zhen Country, so why would Di You kneel and greet Tang Yin?
Shangguan Yuan, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and the rest all frowned at the same time. Two people with Hidden Arrow Crew were about to step forward, but Tang Yin raised his hand to stop the two of them. Then, he sized Di You up from head to toe, and said with a smile: "The success of this king entering the Xi Tang this time will depend on you."
The Zhen Country palace was also afraid that the allied spies would sneak into the capital, and check on all the personnel entering and exiting the city, Tang Yin and the rest did not have any proof, so they could not enter.
Di You was very surprised that a dignified monarch of a nation would actually be so courteous.
His expression became serious, and her repulsion towards Tang Yin lessened, and she said: "Feng King is being too serious! The general has already explained to me the purpose of Her Highness entering the city. Regardless of whether it is in the public or the private, I will do my best to help! "
Tang Yin smiled and nodded. Although he was not clear about Di You's capabilities, but since Kong Qing had asked for help, then he would definitely not be lacking.
At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The two Hidden Arrow Crew near the door immediately placed their hands behind their backs, and tightly held onto the scabbards that were hidden behind their waists.
As the door opened, a young woman in her early twenties walked in. She was wearing a light pink dress with heavy makeup and looked slightly flirtatious. The lady did not expect that there would be so many people in the room. She was obviously surprised for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Under everyone's gaze, she twisted her body and walked towards Di You with a smile, saying in a delicate voice, "The things that Big Brother Di asked me to find have already been gathered.
Just as Di You was about to speak, he suddenly saw everyone around Tang Yin coldly staring at the lady with killing intent. He introduced: "Don't worry, this is my subordinate, Pang Li."
After hearing that, the frozen air in the room immediately changed back to a liquid state. The Hidden Arrow Crew withdrew their sinister gazes, and stood behind Tang Yin as if nothing had happened.
Although the lady seemed like she was joking, she was actually secretly relieved. She thought to herself, "These people are full of murderous intent!" What on earth was it?
Although she was Di You's trusted subordinate, the latter did not reveal Tang Yin's true identity to her. It was a serious matter, so they couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Di You reached out his hand to her and said, "Give it to me!"
The lady reached her hands into her bosom and leisurely took out a roll of things, handing it over to Di You.
It turned out to be a stack of papers. He flipped through them one by one, and after carefully counting and confirming that there were no mistakes, he turned around and handed them over to Tang Yin, saying in a low voice, "Big ? Ah, young master, this is Lu Yin. This proves that you are from Nancun, Rongfeng County, Taihe County. When you enter the city, if there is anyone investigating, just say that you are here to join the army. Of course, little ? Oh, I will also act as a cover to help Young Master clear the way. The soldiers guarding the city gate will not make things difficult for Young Master. "
That era did not have such advanced products like identity cards. When people went out, they would carry a guide with them, which recorded the birthplace of the individual. This could be considered proof of their identity. The road guide was signed and issued by the government. There was an official seal and a special official seal on it, making it very difficult to fake. The directions that Pang Li sent over were all real, as for how she obtained them, no one knew, it could be considered one of her subordinate's abilities.
Tang Yin lowered his head to glance at Lu Yin, and then handed him over to Cheng Jin, for him to send to everyone.
Pang Li was actually very curious about Tang Yin's identity. As Di You's subordinate, she knew her superior's personality too well. No matter who she was facing, she would never lie to, but she would always be respectful and courteous to this young man in front of her.
She approached Tang Yin and asked cheerfully: "I wonder what your name is, young noble? Young Master needs to borrow the road guide to enter the city. Don't tell me that he is not a People of Zhen Country or a criminal that the authorities are trying to apprehend? " As she spoke, her body slowly moved towards Tang Yin.
Tang Yin's foot slipped, and seemingly moved her aside casually yet perfectly. He smiled indifferently and said: "This lowly one is Tang Chu, of course I am, but it's not convenient for me to reveal my identity to Miss right now."
Tang Chu? Pang Li had never heard of this name, so she still wanted to ask. Di You coughed heavily, and said unhappily: "Don't ask about anything else that you shouldn't ask about, you have nothing to do here, go and busy yourself!"
"Yes!" This subordinate will take her leave! " Although Pang Li seemed to be frivolous, she still respected and respected Di You from the bottom of her heart. She looked deeply at Tang Yin for a moment, then turned and walked out.
After he left, Di You said to Tang Yin: "Pang Li has always been like this, if she has offended Your Highness in any way, I hope that Your Highness will not take offense to it."
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Mr. Di You is too courteous."
"Your highness has come from afar, you must have not eaten anything yet, right? I'll get someone to prepare some food and wine." As he spoke, he wanted to go out and instruct his subordinates. Tang Yin raised his hand to stop him, saying, "There's no need to trouble yourself. This King just wants to eat after entering the city. "
"Alright!" Since Tang Yin was in a rush to enter the city, Di You did not force him and replied sternly: "We're leaving now!"
Pausing for a moment, he then reminded everyone, "Everyone, don't forget the name and origin on Lu Chong. We'll be in trouble if we give him an incorrect answer when we enter the city."
There was no need for him to teach them. None of the people present were given to him for free, and it was impossible for him to make such a low level mistake. Kong Qing said, "Everyone will notice this, let's quickly go!"
"Yes, General!"1
With Di You leading the way, everyone came out from the back door of the teahouse and walked towards the Xitang City door.
Right now, there were a lot of citizens entering and exiting the Xi Tang, and most of them were young and strong young men.
The was able to survive in this piece of land. If it wasn't for Li Hong being unscrupulous, claiming to be an emperor by himself, and killing a lot of people to remonstrate with, even more citizens would come to join the army. The capital city would probably be packed with people, and the allied army wouldn't be able to fight until the Xi Tang was destroyed like this.
As the saying goes, one step wrong, every step wrong. Li Hong had long ago gotten back on his tiger's back and was unable to dismount, unable to control himself.
As for Tang Yin and the rest, they followed the stream of people and arrived in front of the Xi Tang gate.
There were hundreds of Chastity Army soldiers guarding the area, strictly inspecting the people entering and exiting the area. After finding out where Tang Yin was, before anyone could say a word, Di You was the first to walk up to him. With a face full of smiles, he raised his head and said: "Little Chu, so it was you who was on duty today!"
The one who was called Little Chu was a Zhen Soldier Captain. Looking over, he saw that the person who came was Di You, he was overjoyed and walked over, smiling as he asked: "Brother Di, what's wrong? Are you entering the city today?"
"That's right, I'll bring a few of my fellow villagers to join the army!" Di You pointed to Tang Yin and the others.
"Fellow villagers?" The Captain of Zhen Soldier looked around at Tang Yin and the others, extended his hand, and said seriously: "Bring them over, Lu Yin."
Tang Yin and the rest handed over the guide. The Zhen Soldier leader took it, looked at it roughly, then smiled at Di You and asked: "Since when did Old Brother Di become a Tai He Prefecture's citizen, did he bring people to make money?"
Right now, there was a difficulty in recruiting for the Zhen Country. The imperial government had set a rule that anyone who recommended young men to join the army would be rewarded with a sum of money. Di You had recommended this a few times before.
Of course, he didn't like the small amount of money, but he was the owner of the teahouse and also a hoodlum. Sometimes, he needed to do a few dirty things to conceal his identity as an intelligence dealer, and he also needed to get close to some people.
He pinched out a few copper coins from his sleeve, and stuffed them into the Zhen Soldier Captain's hands, and said: "If you have the time to leave the city, come and sit at elder brother's place. Drink some tea, eat some snacks, elder brother will treat you to food."
The captain of the Zhen Soldier took the bronze coin and stuffed it into his belt. At the same time, he refused with a face full of smiles: "Brother Di, what are you doing? We're all familiar with each other, but you ? "How can I be embarrassed ?"
"Aiya, brother, there's no need to be courteous to me!"
The leader of Zhen Soldier smiled and nodded his head, then passed the guide back to Tang Yin and the rest. He said to the Zhen Soldier soldiers on his left and right: "Let them through, let them through, there's no need to check, they are all our own people!"
"Captain, we haven't searched him yet!"
"What are you looking for? We're all on the same side! Let them go!" The Zhen Soldier leader glared at his subordinates. Even if the Zhen Soldier Captain wasn't that big of a man, he was still the direct superior of the soldiers. Everyone dared not disobey his words.
With Di You here, he did save Tang Yin and the others a lot of trouble. They were directly allowed to enter the city without even searching their bodies.
Within the Xitang City. Even though Zhen Country was poor, one could not find the slightest clue from Xi Tang. Most of the influential people and merchants gathered here, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Xi Tang was the economic center of Zhen Country.
Compared to the slums outside the city, the buildings inside the city were like two different worlds. Tall and luxurious buildings could be seen everywhere, and on the streets and alleys there were crowds of people, and the shouts of the merchants on both sides of the street rose and fell one after another. Exquisite and luxurious carriages would occasionally gallop past in the middle of the street.
In other words, the People of Zhen Country had long gotten used to the invaders, they subconsciously believed that no matter how strong the enemy was, they wouldn't be able to take down the capital city of Zhen Country. In the past thousands of years, the number of times the Zhen Country had been invaded by the enemy did not exceed a thousand, but there were at least a few hundreds, and they had fought from the border all the way to the Xi Tang several times, but none of them had ever entered the city. In the end, they were forcefully pushed back by the soldiers of the Zhen Country.
