Chapter 163
The gatekeeper looked at Xu Shiyang in amazement.
That's right, the group of people in front of him were indeed quite interested, standing by the city gate, waiting quietly.
He suddenly felt that if the Tartars really rode into the city, the group of people might fight with the Tartar envoys.
It is right at the gate of Lin'an Prefecture, Great Zhou.
I don’t know if it’s because I really admire Xu Shiyang, and I think this group of people will easily suffer if they fight with the Tartars, or they are simply afraid of harming the fish. The gatekeeper thought for a while, jogged to the gatekeeper and muttered a few words in his ear.
The gatekeeper turned around suddenly and looked at Xu Shiyang in shock. After finding that the other party was also looking at him, he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xu Shiyang.
The gatekeeper consciously fulfilled his duties, and without Shangguan's consent, he took two Xu Shiyang's guards directly to the city to find the clinic.
The city gate official thought for a moment, and felt that the little official had a good guess. Now that all the civilians have been hiding, the group of people did not dodge and looked like they were waiting for a good show to happen...
As the gatekeeper of the capital, if you can't defend the people, it's fine if you are bullied by the Tartars, after all, life is more important.
But if even the Tartars can't defend, they really let this group of people fight with the Tartars... Then, if you think about it, you will know that his official position and his life will be left at all.
You must never let the two gangs fight!
But all the people he can't afford to offend...
That's actually easy to deal with!
"Call all the brothers in the city!" The gatekeeper whispered to several personal soldiers: "Go to the camp and call all the people who are currently in office today! Go quickly!"
A moment later, about 200 armed soldiers of the Great Zhou appeared at the city gate. Then, they found a group of beggars at the price of 50 ci, and gathered more than 400 people, stood densely on both sides of the road at the city gate, and used human flesh to completely cut off Xu Shiyang's only dozen people from the avenue to the city.
"It's worthy of being Lord Xu." Gan Xiong looked at this scene and said to Xu Shiyang admirably: "Are those officers and soldiers scared by Lord?"
Xu Shiyang was a little disappointed. It was completely impossible to attack the Tartar envoys by so many people.
It would be successful if a few shots were fired at the Tartars, but if they did not kill all the people and only killed a few, the subsequent Tartars oppressed the city gate officials to retaliate, would they have to use more than a dozen people to deal with hundreds of enemies?
And I will definitely not be able to enter the city after that.
Xu Shiyang spat viciously and said helplessly:
"This bastard is concerned about the safety of the Tartars! He was so vicious to his compatriots just now!"
"The Tartar envoy will leave the city sooner or later." Zhao Lin whispered to remind him.
"Yes!" Xu Shiyang cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth: "There is still a chance!"
...
The twelfth year of Jianxing in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
According to the new contract signed last year, the Emperor of Great Zhou should submit to the Emperor of Great Jin and accept his enthronement.
On this ground, the Emperor of Jin led an envoy to the canal with Meng'an Shuhu Gaoqi and led an envoy south along the canal and arrived in Lin'an on the fifth day of the fifth month.
After arriving at the destination, Gao Qi, the Shuhu, who was known for his bravery among the Jurchens, did not enter the city directly. He led more than 50 members of the envoy group to rush away the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to greet him, and circled around the Lin'an city walls for half of the time. Half of the gates of Lin'an City were so scared that half of the gates of Lin'an City were closed, and the other half were forced to block the road and clear all merchants.
During the chaos, stampede accidents occurred in several city gates, with hundreds of casualties, and economic losses were uncountable.
It was not until the end that Gao Qi, the Jurchens who were more like cavalry than envoys, entered Lin'an City under the guidance of the Great Zhou Golden Spear Squad (one of the Imperial Guards) who were frightened and turned pale.
The location they chose to enter the city was exactly the gate where Xu Shiyang was.
In the afternoon of that day, Xu Shiyang waited for more than an hour before the Jin Dynasty envoy appeared in his sight.
The one who walked in front was about a hundred golden spear troupes dressed in gorgeous golden mountain armor.
However, these tall and handsome young men were dejected, like eggplants beaten by frost, without any energy.
In Xu Shiyang's eyes, even their tall helmet tassels were tilted on the top of their helmets as if they were wilted.
These Great Zhou imperial guards followed the Jurchen envoys to circle most of Lin'an City, frightened and exhausted, and had completely lost their last backbone.
Seeing these cowards from afar, Xu Shiyang frowned.
He looked back behind him.
There are dense houses on both sides of Lin'an City gate. Houses that can live on the city gate are at least medium-sized wealthy households, some rich merchants, and even many buildings are two-story buildings with exquisite styles.
Xu Shiyang saw that in the slightly opened windows or doors of these buildings, and in the alleys that could not be seen clearly between the houses, there were countless pairs of eyes with curiosity and deep fear, secretly catching the Jin envoys who were getting closer and closer.
When he looked back, most of the people in the Golden Spear Squad had passed, and he could see clearly the Jurchens who were following behind, wearing leather robe.
The Tartars riding on horses all raised their chests and belly, raised their heads, and shone them around with cold eyes like wild wolfs.
The Jurchens did not deliberately show their viciousness on their faces, and they could even be said to be a little cold, but their cruel eyes conveyed a sense of oppression that was realistic!
The gatekeepers and soldiers blocked both sides of the road were sweating coldly. Although they knew that the Jin envoys would not deliberately kill anyone, they just dared not look up at the Jurchens at first glance. Everyone would rather look down at the ground than look at the Tartars.
It looked like Zhou soldiers bowed their heads to the Tartars.
Xu Shiyang's lungs were about to explode. What kind of lack of confidence makes this happen?
At the gate of his capital, two groups of more than 500 guards were unable to lift their heads by the 50 unarmored aura of the 50 Tartars!
...
As a general, Shuhu Gaoqi can also clearly feel the eyes of the surrounding buildings looking at her with terrifying eyes.
Whenever I look over, those eyes always disappear behind the doors and windows like frightened rabbits.
‘A bunch of cowards.’ Gao Qi, Shuhu, thought: ‘If it weren’t for the Yangtze River, I would have robbed you all as slaves!’
What a pity that this colorful world is actually in the hands of a group of cowards.
However, the Great Jin warriors could only join the wild beasts in the ice and snow between the white mountains and black waters.
Suddenly, the Jurchen envoys who looked down on the Han people became slightly restless.
Gao Qi suddenly woke up from his contemplation. He turned his head and looked at a clearing on the right side of the city gate. There was a tall figure standing on someone else's shoulder and looking coldly at this side.
Xu Shiyang stood on the shoulders of Puluhun and another soldier who was trapped in the battle, holding his hands in front of his chest, and looked at every Jurchen who dared to look at him with his height advantage.
This young man, who was more than 180 cm tall, recalled the scene when he massacred the Tartar prisoners after the battle, and swept the Jurchens one by one with the eyes of those who were waiting to die.
The Tartars, who were originally sitting on the saddle, became frightened. Some were twisting their bodies unconsciously, while others would rather turn around and look elsewhere than look at Xu Shiyang.
A real murderous intent came to his face, and even the savage tiger Gao Qi couldn't help but touch the hilt of the knife around his waist. He always felt that the guy standing there was slightly lowered to look at him was not alone, but a tiger, looking for an opportunity to tear him apart.
