Thanks: Brother 08a for the reward, thank you Xia Tian.

'Gongzhou', an important border town, is not comparable in size to the small 'Dingtong County'. The city has many lengths and widths, and the city wall is more than twenty feet high. With the moat more than ten feet wide, it looks almost impregnable.

When 'Huang Shaohong' took 'Qimuge', 'Ma Qi' and 'Awang' came to Gongzhou City, they were all dumbfounded. The former's concept of 'Zhang' in his mind was three meters, and ten feet was three meters.

Ten meters, twenty feet is more than sixty meters!

Have you ever seen a city wall over sixty meters high in real life?

But after being surprised, "Huang Shaohong" was relieved. The world is different, and everything may be different. I remember when I watched "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the city walls were all twenty or thirty feet tall.

Now it seems that the tall walls in ‘Journey to the West’ are probably related to the strength of the ordinary people in this world.

'Huang Shaohong', as a warrior, could not help but subconsciously think about what if people in the world could enter and leave this wall with Qinggong. After thinking about it, he knew that the only Qinggong that he knew was the 'Flying Immortal Step' created by 'Ye Gucheng'.

If it were a martial arts in the world of the Golden Book, I am afraid that only the 'Gekko Wall Wandering Technique' can climb up. If you want to fly up, even the straight up and down 'Golden Wild Goose Technique' and 'Tinyun Zong' will be difficult to achieve.

‘Qimu lattice’ grows on the grassland. Although the snow-capped mountains are tens of thousands of meters high, I have never seen such a magnificent city wall. I immediately sighed:

"This wall is so high!"

‘Ma Qi’ and ‘Awang’ were loyal to protect their master and suffered injuries. After ‘Huang Shaohong’ treated them with a Yang finger, the bleeding had stopped and scabs formed, and the injuries were no longer serious.

At this time, 'Ma Qi' heard his mistress say this and introduced with a smile:

"Gongzhou is an important border town. To guard against the warriors from the Western Regions, it is natural to go higher. It is said that this height is only above the 'Martial Saint'. Only the masters who can fly physically can come and go freely. The others are the 'Innate Grand Masters'

Even if you want to fly over the city wall, you can’t!”

As he spoke, he glanced at his master with awe and admiration. Thinking of Zhao Xuantong's words about "Martial Saint" before, he thought to himself:

"My master is probably a master in the realm of martial arts. I really have the foresight. I have identified this big tree and I must hold it tightly. As long as I am loyal, I am afraid that my master will teach me three moves and two moves."

It’s been extremely useful!”

The reason why ‘Ma Qi’ has this idea is because he has a deep understanding of it.

Previously, he and a group of scoundrels were dragged into adulthood. After their master, Huang Shaohong, followed Xiao Shouye to assassinate the enemy general and accidentally killed the Prince of Tuyuhun, Murong Shun, the master left and never returned.

Tuyuhun's side launched a crazy attack on Dingtong County.

The battle to defend the city was extremely brutal and lasted for three days and three nights. If Liangzhou had not withdrawn a Shenwei army and attacked the Tuyuhun army from both sides from the rear, Dingtong County would have been lost.

During those three days and nights, all the gangsters who worshiped 'Huang Shaohong' as their master along with 'Ma Qi' were killed in the battle, leaving only his elder brother.

He, 'Ma Qi', had never been a soldier or practiced martial arts, so how could he survive the battle to defend the city?

Without him, I relied on the seemingly simple pile skills taught by ‘Huang Shaohong’.

All the gangsters learned this 'Standing Kung Fu', but those few found it tiring. Only he, 'Ma Qi', had tasted the sweetness of 'Consolidating Strength into One', and practiced hard at standing upright whenever he had time.

Although he was just sharpening his spear in battle, the previous guidance from ‘Huang Shaohong’ had already allowed him to gain initial proficiency, strength, and vitality.

In the battle to defend the city, he was a little stronger than the others, could dodge attacks a little faster than the others, and had strong energy and blood, making him a little more energetic than the others.

That's all, plus he was a little smart and knew how to avoid danger and take advantage of it, which allowed him to survive the battle to defend the city.

As for those rogue brothers who were greedy for comfort, they sharpened their guns from time to time. Naturally, they were neither bright nor bright. They were at ease in their free time, but they all died on the city walls during a fight.

When "Huang Shaohong" returned to "Dingtong County", he didn't see "Ma Qi" and the others. He thought they were all killed in the battle, so he didn't ask about it.

In fact, "Ma Qi" survived, but when "Hou Junji" rushed to "Dingtong County", he used his elite to defend the city, while Ma Qi and other strong men were assigned to do coolies in the supply camp.

It wasn't until 'Huang Shaohong' was injured and unable to drive that 'Xiao Shouye' thought of 'Ma Qi', released him, and asked him to drive and escort the former to 'Gongzhou'!

It is precisely because of the experience of life and death that 'Ma Qi' understands the power of his 'master' and protects him loyally, which also makes him recognized by 'Huang Shaohong'.

While I was thinking wildly, I heard ‘Huang Shaohong’ ask:

"Are the city walls in other places in the Tang Dynasty also so tall?"

Upon hearing his master’s question, ‘Ma Qi’ immediately came back to his senses:

"If it is an important border town, it is the same. The ordinary city is only more than ten feet high, but in Chang'an City, it is said that the city wall is thirty-three feet high, nine in total, making it the tallest city in the world. But I just heard that

He said he had never seen it with his own eyes!"

‘Huang Shaohong’ looked at the tall Gongzhou city wall and nodded:

"Looking at the size of Gongzhou and Chang'an being the imperial capital, it should be pretty good!"

After "Huang Shaohong" said this, he took two people and a dog, crossed the trench bridge and walked towards the city of "Gongzhou".

They had originally wanted to come, but now that it was wartime, it would take a lot of effort to enter the city. For this reason, 'Xiao Shouye' specially obtained a customs clearance document and gave it to 'Huang Shaohong'.

What people did not expect was that at this time, the gates of Gongzhou City were wide open, and as long as the officers and soldiers guarding the city asked a few questions, the people were allowed to come and go freely.

The three of them were all curious. After entering the city, Ma Qi found out after asking for help. However, during the time they were on the road, the battle situation had become one-sided, and the Tang army had all reached the hinterland of Tuyuhun.

The Tuyuhun country is about to be destroyed, so the control of Gongzhou City is naturally not that strict. There are many people from the Tang Dynasty who came to the city to take refuge, and few of them have customs clearance documents. Naturally, the local government will not strictly investigate such things at this time.

.

'Huang Shaohong' smiled casually, it seemed that he and others were overthinking, and immediately asked for directions to the house of 'Xiao Shouye''s friend in the city.

This good friend of 'Xiao Shouye' is the son of a local wealthy businessman. When the former sent 'Huang Shaohong''s brother and sister-in-law out of Dingtong, he gave them silver for the frame and a letter, asking them to go to Gongzhou City.

Stay at this friend's house.

'Huang Shaohong' went to the door according to the address and asked about the whereabouts of his brother and sister-in-law. As a result, the other party didn't know anything about it and said that two people had never come to the door like this before.

‘Huang Shaohong’ couldn’t help but frown, and left without even taking out the letter of introduction from ‘Xiao Shouye’.

When Huang Shaohong came to a deserted place, he tore off a piece of his own hair, kneaded the method with his hands, and recited the incantation. Under the stimulation of his true energy, the hair spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into a wisp of green smoke, which rose to the

high in the sky, then circled in a circle and headed to the east of the city.

‘Huang Shaohong’ quickly took ‘Qimuge’ and ‘Ma Qi’ to follow the green smoke, and asked the latter at the same time:

"Where is the east of the city?"

‘Ma Qi’ frowned and thought:

"Reporting to the master, the people living in the east of the city are all shabby settlements, and it is also the headquarters of the Flying Tiger Gang. It is very chaotic!"

‘Huang Shaohong’ asked in surprise: “Are there any gangs in a border town like Gongzhou?”

‘Ma Qi’ smiled bitterly and said:

"Of course there is. In addition to Shenwei, Shence, Shenwu, Shenwei, Shenxiao, Shenfeng..., etc., these 'Shenzi Camp' and the Imperial Forbidden Army, our Tang Dynasty has other armies.

It’s a government soldier!”

"Everyone goes about their business during non-war times, but they all join the army during wartime. Although the 'Flying Tiger Gang' is a Jianghu gang, every time Tuyuhun invaded the border, they joined the government soldiers and became the main force of the government soldiers. Therefore, Gongzhou

The officials just turned a blind eye to it!"

‘Huang Shaohong’ nodded:

"Knowing that serving the country, these Jianghu gangs do have value, but they don't care about our affairs. We'd better find our brother and sister-in-law quickly before we worry about it!"

The city wall of Gongzhou is tall, and the city is also huge. The area is probably not as big as a second-tier city in later generations. Following the wisp of green smoke, after walking for a full hour, the man who pushed through the green smoke plunged into a high-gate courtyard.

In the courtyard.

In the east part of the city, just like what Ma Qi said, the people living there are shabby households, similar to the existence of poor households in later cities. There are not many wealthy houses like this in front of you in the entire east city.

'Huang Shaohong' walked directly towards the rich door, but his move immediately attracted the attention of others. Several idle men who seemed to be sitting and chatting in front of the surrounding wine shops and pawn shops stood up. Before they could reach the door,

Just three people and one dog were surrounded in the middle.

'Awang', the prairie Ao dog, has the keenest sense of danger. As soon as these people gathered around it, it roared in a low voice.

‘Qimuge’ hurriedly squatted down and stroked its neck twice. ‘Awang’ then calmed down, but his eyes were still wary of watching the people surrounding him.

At present, there is an idle man, tall, with a full beard and a scar on his forehead. He looks very vicious.

He took a look at the clothes of 'Huang Shaohong' and the other three, and saw that they were all wearing rags, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt in his eyes.

However, when he saw the wooden frame, his eyes straightened, and then he showed greed and desire. It was not just him, but also the idle men who gathered around him.

"Huang Shaohong" didn't need to speak, "Ma Qi" stepped in front of the mistress, cupped his fists and said with a smile:

"Brothers, I don't know what advice you can give us if you stop us!"

The leader, 'Dao Scarface', raised his chin towards the rich door: "Do you know where this is? How dare you just break in?"

‘Huang Shaohong’ pushed ‘Ma Qi’ aside, took a step forward and said:

"I'm looking for someone!"

‘Dao Scarface’ was surprised, looked at ‘Huang Shaohong’ critically, and then asked:

"Who are you looking for? Tell me and I'll see if you recognize him!"

‘Huang Shaohong’ pointed at the Zhumen Mansion:

"The person I'm looking for is inside, a couple who came from Dingtong County more than two months ago!"

After he finished speaking, he described the appearance of his brother and sister-in-law.

After "Dao Scarface" heard "Huang Shaohong"'s words, his eyes shrank, and then he flatly denied:

"You are looking for the wrong one. This is the house of the second leader of our Feihu Gang. How could there be someone as stupid as you who are looking for us? Get away quickly and don't let me trouble you!"
