Chapter 155: An Interlude at the City Gate



Xing Bang pretended to glare at Xiao Xizi and said, "Why do you fail at the critical moment, kid?"

Xiao Xizi scratched his head and said, "Brother, I really forgot, but it doesn't matter, this carriage is big enough!"

Good boy, you didn’t follow the big brother for nothing, you did it without making a fuss…

Xing Bang didn't think that Xiao Xizi had really forgotten, otherwise, he would have definitely said that he would bring the horse back on the way.

"Xiao Xing, come up. It's getting late. There's no need to go back to the town hall."

Zheng Xiujun's voice came from the carriage...

My goodness, he even forgot that he had to go to the town hall to get the horse and had to turn back.

Xiao Xizi, I will never let you down at the critical moment!

"Well, that's all we have to do!"

Xing Bang would never say, "Xiao Xizi, come and drive the carriage with your elder brother. I am not such a hypocritical person..."

Xing Bang sat down opposite Zheng Xiujun.

"Madam, have you been to the capital before?"

"No, it's my first time."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked Madam if she has any relatives in Qinglong Town?"

"No, I was stranded in Qinglong Town more than ten years ago. I was rescued by Xier's father and then stayed here. My parents were not here at that time either."

They chatted like this until the carriage stopped.

"Brother, the city gate is about to close. Please sit down for a moment. I will go and take a look first."

"Okay, just give us some silver and let us go."

Xing Bang lifted the curtain and saw that the soldiers guarding the city were preparing to close the city gate.

Although it was the first time that the city gates were closed, Xing Bang was very clear that the city gates would be closed after dark, and those who came back late would not be allowed in without special circumstances. Especially in wartime, no one would be allowed in without an official warrant, and they could only stay outside the city for one night.

Xing Bang didn't plan to make it public, he just considered it as a reward for the soldiers guarding the city with some wine money.

"The city gates are about to close. Stay outside for one night and go back into the city early tomorrow morning."

The soldier may have seen Xiao Xizi coming over and shouted in advance.

"My dear officials, please help me. I have urgent business to enter the city..."

Xiao Xizi stepped forward quickly and took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

The leading team leader took the banknote and looked at it with a smile on his face:

"You don't look like a bad guy, go in quickly!"

"Sir, there are two other people in the carriage with me..."

Xiao Xizi cursed inwardly, naturally understanding what the captain meant.

"Stop talking nonsense. It's already an exception for me to let you in alone. Go in quickly, otherwise no one will be allowed in."

Xing Bang got furious when he heard this. It seemed like you were talking nonsense and wouldn't even refund the money. I have such a bad temper, I'm giving you face...

Without saying a word, Xing Bang drove the carriage and rushed towards the city gate.

"The carriage in front, stop...

Stop now! How dare you break into the city gate? Are you planning a rebellion?"

As he spoke, the squad leader drew his sword, and several soldiers behind him followed suit...

However, Xiao Xizi moved, and in a flash he appeared in front of the team leader and kicked him. The team leader groaned and flew backwards.

Just kidding, big brother is angry, let me show you how powerful the "Sunflower Manual" is.

Several soldiers quickly helped the team leader up, coughed a few times, and shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion...

Brothers, kill him for me."

It was thanks to Xiao Xizi's restraint in his actions, otherwise how could the young captain stand up and speak so quickly.

"You are rebelling, stop it now!"

Xing Bang arrived at the scene and stopped the carriage. With a loud shout, he jumped in front of the team leader.

"You, who are you..."

The team leader had seen all kinds of people guarding the city gate. Normally, they bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing Xing Bang's fierce momentum, he suddenly felt scared and insecure.

"I am your ancestor, you shameless bastard, open the city gate for me now..."

As he said that, Xing Bang took out the gold medal from his waist, not wanting to waste time talking to these weak soldiers.

Persimmon, he doesn't like to pick the soft ones.

Under the moonlight, the gold medal shone so brightly that the team leader rubbed his eyes hurriedly, then fell to his knees with a thud. He was in trouble now.

"I am a fool, please spare my life, please spare my life..."

The team leader immediately kowtowed violently, and the soldiers behind him finally reacted and also knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Please spare my life, sir. I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child..."

Damn, is your sense of rhythm so good?

Xing Bang felt like laughing. There was no point in getting into trouble with these little people.

"Come on, get up. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The captain breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and shouted behind him, "You are a bunch of blind people, why don't you open the city gate for me quickly?"

I admire him. He is a ruthless person. When he gets ruthless, he even scolds himself...

Soon, several soldiers opened the city gate, and the team leader handed the silver note respectfully to Xiao Xizi.

"Keep the silver. It's a reward from my master for you to heal the blind dog's eyes."

"Thank you, sir, and thank you, eunuch!"

This young captain had quite a keen eye and he figured out that Xiao Xizi was a eunuch so quickly.

Xing Bang smiled, turned around and was about to get on the carriage, but he didn't expect the team leader to run two steps quickly and kneel on the ground.

Damn, what a talent, he has it all!

Xing Bang stepped on his back and went up without any hesitation, saying, "He is quite smart. His name is Xiao Xizi. If you can't make it, you can go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to find him."

After he finished speaking, he got directly into the carriage.

Prince Yan's Palace?

The team leader hesitated for a moment, then quickly reacted and kowtowed several times: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, you are my second parents." As he spoke, he was so excited that he cried...

Then, Xiao Xizi got on the carriage and drove away. He could be confused about other things, but he deeply understood the meaning of his elder brother's last words.

The team leader looked at the carriage as if in a dream until it disappeared from his sight, and then he was as happy as if he had picked up a gold ingot, and said: "Brothers, hand over the shift, come on, I will take you to have some fun..."

The reason why Xing Bang did this is that he firmly believes in a saying: never look down on small people, because they may rewrite history at critical moments.

Xing Bang and his party naturally went directly to Prince Yan's Mansion. It would take a few more days before the house in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion could be occupied.

When they reached the door, as soon as Xing Bang came down, the guard at the door ran over happily.

"Master Xing, you're back!"

At this time, Xiao Xizi also helped Zheng Xiujun down.

"Okay, let's go in!"

Xing Bang led Zheng Xiujun and her son into the palace, leaving the soldiers who were preparing the carriages to stare blankly for a long time...
