Chapter 44 [Ten horizontal knives, scaring people to death]
Early the next morning, outside Miyun City, there was a dilapidated official road, connected to a slightly ancient city gate at the end.
This winter is cold and snowy, and there have been two consecutive snowfalls in the past few days, as if the entire Northland has been covered in white.
But today the snowfall has stopped, and the only thing left between the sky and the earth is the wind.
Although the snow has stopped, the wind is cold.
It was like a sharp blade striking from the air, causing waves of stinging pain on the person's body.
It was early in the morning, and the fish was only white in the east. The two gatekeepers were hiding at the base of the city wall and huddled, tapping their feet to keep a little warmth in their bodies. Suddenly they heard a sound not far away, which seemed to be uniform steps.
Voice.
Sonorous, sonorous…
There was a faint sound of the armor's leaves clashing.
The two officers were slightly startled and subconsciously stood up from the city wall. They both stuck their heads out and followed the direction of the sound.
In an instant, their pupils shrank at the same time.
But on the snow-covered official road, ten burly figures suddenly appeared. At this time, the sky was not completely bright. The ten figures looked a little blurry and black. Their movements were uniform, and they lined up in two teams. Five on the left
There are also five people on the right side, raising their feet and stepping forward, showing the chilling atmosphere of the military formation.
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew, and the two officers couldn't help but shiver. They looked at each other quietly, and at the same time, with a low voice in their throats, they said in fear: "Heroes."
Hebei Province has been fighting for many years, and even the gatekeepers have experienced battlefields. However, the occasional experience is different from the year-round fighting. The evil spirit on the body alone is different.
Whether he is a tough soldier or not can be known at a glance.
The ten-man team arrived in the blink of an eye, and the pupils of the two guards shrank again. Only then did they realize in shock that all ten warriors were armed with weapons...
Horizontal knife!
The two guards subconsciously gasped, quietly looked at each other again, and then subconsciously took a step back.
They both felt their hearts almost beating out of their throats in their chests.
"They are all equipped with horizontal knives? Where did these soldiers come from?" The two of them felt a wave of evil aura coming towards their faces, and their spines were chilled and their scalps were numb.
Soldiers are very common, but not many can be equipped with a horizontal sword. Let alone ordinary soldiers who can be equipped with a horizontal sword, even the captains in the army may not be able to do so...
However, among the ten fierce soldiers who suddenly appeared, each one had a knife hanging on his waist.
And they are all horizontal swords.
This thing must be at least fifty forged as a killing weapon.
Looking at the entire Miyun County, there are only a handful of people who can have a horizontal sword. For example, the newly appointed county captain in the county government office can only be equipped with a horizontal sword as a ninth-grade military attaché.
The newly arrived Si Fazuo also seems to have a horizontal sword, but the horizontal sword is not distributed with official salary, but Si Fazuo brings the sword to his post. It is said that this gentleman's family is quite wealthy.
In addition, there is a third horizontal sword in Miyun County, and that horizontal sword is also in the hands of a big shot in the county government. It is said that it is the newly arrived prison warden.
I heard that it was also a private weapon purchased with my own money.
Hengdao is a military equipment. If local people want to own it, they must at least be military attachés.
For example, their Miyun County belongs to Zhong County. The county magistrate is at the seventh rank, the county magistrate is at the eighth rank, the chief Bo is at the ninth rank, and the county captain is at the ninth rank...
The county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief minister are both civil servants. Although they have reached the rank, they are not allocated weapons. Only the county lieutenant is a military attaché in charge of a county, so he is qualified to receive a horizontal sword.
In addition to these four officials, there are also officials in the county government, including the interrogator, Si Fazuo and the warden. There are a total of seven officials in the county, four of whom are civil servants and three are military attachés. However, only the county captain
After reaching the level of being entitled to the Hengdao, Si Fazuo and Dian Yuan had to pay for the Hengdao themselves if they wanted to own it.
Therefore, there are only three horizontal knives in the entire Miyun County. One for the county captain, which belongs to the official salary, and two for the secretary, fazuo and warden, who bought them with their own money.
This shows how rare it is to have a horizontal sword.
You must know that Miyun County is an important town in the North. It belongs to the relatively powerful Zhong County in terms of specifications. The county has a population of at least 80,000 and only seven officials are in charge of power.
Eighty thousand people and seven officials.
However, there is only one county captain in the county who can enjoy the Heng Dao. As for Si Fazuo and the Warden, their Heng Dao is privately owned.
County magistrate, seventh grade, civil servant, not equipped with a sword.
The county magistrate, from the eighth rank, is a civil servant and is not equipped with a sword.
The main character is thin, from the ninth rank, civil servant, not equipped with a sword.
When asking questions, from the ninth rank down, civil servants are not equipped with swords.
County lieutenant, from the ninth rank to the next, military attaché, armed with a sword.
Si Fazuo, a military attache from the ninth rank down, does not have a sword, so he has to pay for it himself.
Wardens, from the ninth rank down, and military attachés, do not have swords, so they have to pay for them themselves.
The seven officials in the entire county government only had three horizontal knives in total through official salary distribution and private purchase. However, in this ten-man team that suddenly appeared, everyone was able to carry one.
Therefore, these ten fierce soldiers must be no small matter...
…
Gudu!
The two guards each swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Not only because of nervousness, but also because of greed, and at the same time, I felt uneasy in my heart, not knowing what the ten tough soldiers wanted to do.
Although they felt uneasy, but due to their responsibilities, they had to ask. The two officers worked hard to muster up the courage and walked out of the city wall. They cautiously stopped at the door and asked: "May I ask... I dare to ask all brothers in the army, where are you from?"
Soldiers coming?"
The ten people on the opposite side suddenly stopped, but no one answered them. The ten warriors just stood quietly, like ten sculptures standing at the door.
The less he spoke, the more powerful he became, as if bursts of evil energy suddenly appeared at the gate of the city, making the two officers almost breathless.
"These must be soldiers who have killed people..."
"These are all people who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood..."
The two guards almost coincidentally had an idea in their minds.
The officer on the left was a little older. Although he was nervous, he did not dare to fail in his duties. He once again forced his courage and asked with a smile on his face: "May I ask you brothers in the army, why do you come to Miyun County?"
This time I didn't dare to ask where the soldiers came from. I only dared to ask what I wanted to do in Miyun County.
Fortunately, this time the soldier on the opposite side finally opened his mouth to answer.
But seeing the leader's eyes calm, he just slowly said two words in his mouth: "Complain!"
The guard suddenly felt a buzzing in his head.
"Complain..."
The brave soldiers in the army came to the local county government to complain.
No matter how I heard this, I felt it was weird.
The officer had the courage to ask again, but the soldier on the other side suddenly glared, as if there was a terrifying murderous aura coming out of thin air. However, the soldier suddenly shouted loudly and asked solemnly: "What's the matter? You're not allowed to enter."
?"
The officer shivered in fright, and without thinking, he got out of the way and said hurriedly: "Come in, come in, we are just responsible for making inquiries. Special people must be investigated when entering the city. Brothers, don't show off your power. You can go to the county on your own.
Just beat the drum and complain."
It is said that people are carried in sedan chairs. The reason why the two officers blocked the road was because they abide by their duties. Since they obediently said that they would not stop them anymore, the ten tough soldiers would naturally not cause trouble.
But when he saw the leading warrior slightly arching his hands, his tone softened and he said, "That's it, thank you very much."
After saying that, he immediately raised his feet and ten people lined up to enter.
