Although Luo Si and Scarface and others were a little crazy, they always hoped that Zhishilang would jump out to rob them, but things went against their wishes. There were not even many business travelers along the way, and they were deserted and lonely all the way.

It was sixty miles from Zhangqiu to Licheng. Seven people rode horses, but they were all riding and learning while riding. Some people fell off their horses from time to time, so they stopped and walked around the road for a day.

As it was almost dark, Luo Feng and his group of talents finally arrived in Licheng.

Qi County was formerly known as Qi State. Qin destroyed Qi State and divided Qi County into its former territory, Langlang County. Han Dynasty destroyed Qin, Liu Bang appointed Han Xin as King of Qi, and led the former territory of Tian Qi State. Later, Han Xin was moved to King of Chu, and divided Qi State into seven counties and seventy-three counties.

By the late Western Han Dynasty, Qi County had only twelve counties under its jurisdiction. In the early Sui Dynasty, Qi County was abolished and changed to Qizhou. After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he was renamed to Qi County.

The county seat is Licheng.

Licheng was named after it was located under Lishan Mountain. It was under Jinan County, Qizhou during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is now the county town of Qi County and the county government office of Licheng County.

As a city with a long history, Licheng is very large.

Compared to the small county town in Zhangqiu that has only been built for less than 30 years, Licheng is old and majestic.

There are six city gates alone, and there are also dry moats to protect the city and urns to defend the enemy. From a distance, it looks like a huge military fortress. At the same time, it is also a prosperous city with a large population.

Standing at the gate of the city, the three brothers Xiaoliu, Du Da and Fu San were really shocked. They were no more than Luo Feng and Luo Si. They had worked as soldiers in other places. For example, Luo Si just returned from Luo Yang, Luo Wu also returned from Zhuo County, Zhao Si had been to Zhuo County, and Zhou Xin had been to Yangzhou as soldiers.

"What a big city!"

"So many people!"

"There is a big ditch outside the city gate!"

"That's not a ditches, it's a dry moat for the moat. Licheng is a northern city. In winter, the river will freeze. Therefore, in order to prevent war, most of the cities in the north are digging dry moats instead of digging rivers directly to dig water to dig into moats. The dry moats are very deep, and deer antlers, pickets, etc. can be planted inside, so that the enemy can prevent the enemy from crossing the water-deprived or frozen moats in winter, and can play a great defensive role in the city." Luo Feng couldn't help but introduce them to the three boys with shocked looks.

"Fifth Brother, you know so much." Du Da said worshipfully.

"I heard that there is a Ruyi Building in Licheng. The little lady inside is so beautiful. I see it's getting late. What if we go there to rest for a night tonight?"

Luo Si looked anxious, but he suggested going to sleep in the brothel.

"Don't just hold a few copper coins on your body, you really think you are a rich man. Yours is public funds, not your private money. We are not here to look for flowers and ask about Liu this time, but we are here for a business trip." Luo Feng glared at the fourth brother's eyes, "Let's go to the city first, go to my second cousin's house to recognize the door first, and go to the yamen tomorrow morning."

"It's so late, it's not good to bother my aunt. Otherwise, I'd better live in Ruyi Building and go to my uncle's house tomorrow morning." Luo Si was still not very willing. "Scarface, do you think this is the arrangement?"

Scarface seemed to have heard of the legendary Ruyi Tower, but he was a little moved, but he didn't dare to agree to Luo Si. After all, the brother-in-law Luo Wu was in charge, and he went to prostitution with his brother-in-law, which was not very reliable.

Moreover, he couldn't bear to give up the money. It is said that if you go to such a brothel, it would not be enough to have two or three stale money.

With this money, he might as well buy some good fabrics for Lian Niang at home, and then buy some jewelry and some powder.

······

"What are you doing?"

Several people were still discussing there, but their figure had attracted the attention of the city gate guards. A team of city gate guards rushed out of the city and surrounded them in an instant.

These people are not servants like the gatekeepers of Zhangqiu. These are the county soldiers stationed in Qi County.

The so-called county soldiers are different from the guards.

The guards were the guards of the 12 guards of the imperial court stationed in various places, and were affiliated with the 12 guards and the Ministry of War. However, the county soldiers belonged to local armed forces, led by Tongshou and the county magistrate.

County soldiers are similar to armed police and are equivalent to militia. In short, they are mostly strong men recruited from local governments, and take turns to gather training on duty. They maintain local public security and arrest thieves and robbers. At the same time, they are equivalent to reserve. Once there is war, they can immediately pull up to defend the city or reinforce the neighboring city.

No matter what, although the county soldiers are not regular government soldiers, they are all trained. Even the subordinates of the county magistrate Zhang Xutuo, there is an elite force with hundreds of people, who have fought wars before.

Luo Lao Si's hand had just touched the Yu Wang's body on the saddle. Before he could lift it up, he was immediately pushed to his body by seven or eight spears.

"Down!"

Several shouts of rebukes sounded.

Since Zhang Xutuo became the governor of Qi County, several fires have been burned. The appearance of Qi County soldiers has changed greatly and are no longer lazy and negligent.

The gates of Qi County also strengthened their vigilance and had to be inspected when entering and leaving. Patrol soldiers were added on the roads of the suburbs. Whenever they encountered suspicious people, especially those like Luo Feng and others who were not wearing soldiers uniforms, but were still riding horses and holding weapons, were the targets of the focus. If they dared to resist the inspection, they could take action first and then report. These were all new orders given by Zhang Xutuo.

Those who dare not obey the bad guys who stand in shackles at the city gate are role models.

Luo Feng raised his hand very consciously.

"Everyone, Luo Wu, the constable of Zhangqiu County, came here at the order of the county magistrate. There is a document to be submitted to Zhang Juncheng. These are my companions, not evil people."

A county soldier with fierce eyes came over, "Prove?"

"I have a waist label and a document issued by the county magistrate."

After some inspection, the man's fierce eyes were a little restrained. "I thought there was a brave bandit coming to seek death. It turned out to be a servant in Zhangqiu County. Why are you all weird? You went out to do a job and brought a few children with unfinished hair, and they all held strange-shaped guys?"

Those who use hammers, slapped, slapped, slapped, slapped, and slapped. These seven guys are indeed a bit unusual.

"They are all wild ways, no better than this elder brother, who is a general at first glance." Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm pretty good at speaking, but that's true. When you go to the army, especially the guards and generals, there are just like a weapon that is not a spear, a spear, and even a few guns, let alone a knife, a stick or a spear."

A person next to him said, "I said to Wang, he is just a constable and idle man from a few small county towns. It is normal to use a fishing fork, hunting bow, hatchet, and iron hammer. After all, these are the things that people used before. What do you mean by horse spears, spears, and these? Can you learn it if you use them? Don't talk to them and let them go to the city quickly. It's dark now, and it's time to close the city gate soon. If you miss the closing time, you have to be careful to eat the board."

The head of the King stopped talking, "You can enter the city quickly, but I remind you that it's too late, no one will pay attention to this point. Let's go early tomorrow morning. If there are any other places to stay, please register first."

"The mansion soldier Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao are my uncle's cousin, so let's stay for one night at his house."
