Huang Ting

The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the sun is setting over the long river.

Small Fangpan City in the desert looks a bit desolate, with only Populus euphratica and Haloxylon ammodendron as its companions, and even elk and camels rarely come here.

The guard stood lazily at the gate of the city, leaning on a spear. He seemed to be another good fisherman.

This is normal. There is no human habitation within a hundred miles of Little Fangpan City, so the guards at the gate sometimes cannot see outsiders for seven or eight days in a row. Even the Huns will not attack Little Fangpan City, which has nothing.

Those who could come to serve as county captains in Xiaofangpan City were either demoted or sent here because they had no backers in the court.

"Ha~, ouch!"

The armored guard on the side was halfway through his blow when he was unexpectedly kicked in the butt. He swallowed the rest of the blow. He turned back angrily to see who had eaten the Bear Heart Leopard.

How dare you kick your grandpa.

When he turned his head, he saw his boss with an angry face and two guards standing behind him. No need to think that he must have kicked him just now, the gatekeeper quickly changed his face to a smile:

"Captain Sha, why are you here?"

"I've told you so many times that a noble man has come to the city and asked you to be in good spirits for the next two days, but you just don't listen!"

"And don't call me Xiao Lieutenant anymore. Call me Sha County Lieutenant. The envoy from Chang'an is in the city. It would be terrible if Shangguan hears it."

Sha Chu, the county captain of Xiaofangpan City, said angrily that although he was the county captain of Xiaofangpan City, he only had about a hundred or so people under his command, which was far less impressive than the county captains of other wealthy counties.

His colleagues knew that he was a good-looking person, so they would jokingly call him Xiaowei. If he were in the hinterland of the Central Plains, he would definitely be praised by ginseng.

However, Xiaofangpan City was located in a remote area, and no one was minding other people's business. He initially corrected him a few times, but in fact, Sha Chu felt a little secretly happy in his heart, so he agreed, and it was just a matter of lip service.

At first, people close to him called him this, and later everyone under him also called him this.

Don't think it's just a lieutenant, but now the gold content of a lieutenant is quite high. The people who call him a lieutenant are basically high-ranking officials with two thousand dan. Calling him a lieutenant is equivalent to calling a second lieutenant a commander.

But this time is different. A few days ago, a group of envoys came from Chang'an. They were going to be envoys to the Dayue clan and passed through Xiaofangpan City.

Xiaofangpan City is the last supply point on the way to the Western Region. After leaving Xiaofangpan City, it takes a long time to walk along the river before reaching the next supply point. Therefore, the mission has to make its last supply here to cope with the harsh conditions of the desert.

Condition.

"Hey, Shaxiao..., Shaxian Lieutenant, look at the two people coming in front, and they are leading several horses!"

The soldiers guarding the city were bored by Sha Zhu's chatter, but they had no choice but to flatter him. When he was looking into the distance to relax his thoughts, he happened to see two people in strange clothes walking toward the small square plate from a distance.

Cheng Cheng came and called Sha Zhu loudly to interrupt him.

Sha Zhu put his hand on his forehead and squinted his eyes, trying hard to identify where the people walking towards them came from. However, he only found that they were two good-looking boys and girls, but he did not see what they were wearing.

Where did the strange costumes come from.

Anyway, this is definitely not the dress of the Central Plains. Could it be that they are foreigners from the Western Regions?

Sha Zhu put his hand on the knife and reminded his men: "Be careful, these two people are not simple."

Horses are hard currency these days, a good horse is worth thousands of gold, and these two people actually lead three horses each. This is a treatment that only the most elite cavalry among the Huns can have.

······

Hu Xiuwu looked at the Tucheng in front of him. If Luohai City was a majestic king, then this small town was just short, poor farmers digging in the fields, and he felt a trace of emotion in his heart:

"I never expected that Yumen Pass, which would become famous in later generations, would now look so dilapidated."

Looking at the city gate guard who was obviously wary and a bearded man wearing leather armor.

Chen Duo said: "They found us. These people don't seem to welcome us. We don't have ID cards here. How can we enter this city?"

"There is no such thing as an ID card now. During the Han Dynasty, what was needed to enter the city was a 'zhuan', which was a piece of wood that recorded the date of issuance, the name of the issuing official, the name of the holder, and customs clearance matters."

Hu Xiuwu did not take this matter to heart but was very relaxed. He was even in the mood to popularize some historical trivia with Chen Duo.

"You should really ask Uncle Liao to make up for your history."

Chen Duo replied seriously: "The researchers in the bunker haven't taught me history yet."

Hu Xiuwu said helplessly: "That's not what I meant. Forget it, don't worry about the customs clearance. If it were a later dynasty, it might be a little more troublesome, but now..."

"Stop! Who are you? Do you have the credentials to enter the city?"

The two gatekeepers crossed their spears and blocked the way of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, and one of them shouted at Hu Xiuwu.

Hu Xiuwu smiled and said: "Master Jun, we are brother and sister, but when we were crossing the grassland, we accidentally lost our handbag."

"However, I have other credentials."

Just as the guard on the right was about to speak, Hu Xiuwu said leisurely.

The guards were choked by him and felt that Hu Xiuwu was playing tricks on them, so they said angrily:

"What kind of certificate? Hand it over quickly."

Even Chen Duo looked at Hu Xiuwu. They came to the Han Dynasty because of an accident. What kind of evidence did they have with them?

"Ah."

Hu Xiuwu chuckled lightly, and then his body ignited with a scorching golden light, which stung people's eyes even in broad daylight. He moved his right arm slightly and the golden light came out, leaving a ten-foot-long sword mark on the ground.

This is the Han Dynasty, and the theory of Huang and Lao is prevalent in the world. At this time, foreigners do not need to hide like in modern times. Foreigners are even regarded as high ministers by those in power because of their unique and extraordinary qualities.

The king sat down at the front table in the middle of the night and did not ask about the people or ghosts and gods.

Hu Xiuwu mastered several spells, but he specifically used the Golden Light Spell. No one here would complain to Longhu Mountain anyway.

On the other hand, it is also because among the spells he knows, only the Golden Light Curse is the most upright and bright, which makes people know that he is a decent person at a glance, unlike the three corpses, which are fierce and evil, and make people suspect that he is a demon at a glance.

Moreover, if you use the Golden Light Spell at this juncture, you may get unexpected gains.

Seeing Hu Xiuwu covered in golden light like a god, the two gatekeepers who had never seen the world were frightened and stammered:

"Gods, gods."

Sha Zhu, who had been observing the situation, was extremely shocked when he saw this scene. He knew far more than his soldiers. Of course, he would not regard Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo as gods, but he also understood better that Hu Xiuwu was

They are big shots who cannot be offended.

These days, strangers who know magic often come from aristocratic families, with many high-ranking officials in their families.

Hu Xiuwu dispersed the golden light and said with a smile: "How about this certificate? Can we enter the city?"

The two soldiers guarding the door were already sweating, their mouths were trembling but they could not speak.

Even if it was them, even Sha Zhu's guards knelt down in front of Hu Xiuwu, kowtowed repeatedly, and kept muttering to themselves:

"Blessed by the gods, you will get promoted and make a fortune. Blessed by the gods, you will get promoted and make a fortune."

Hu Xiuwu:······

Upon seeing this, Sha Zhu hurried over to take charge of the situation. He raised his hands and bowed with his forehead, performing a formal salute that was only used for elders or superior officials: "Xiaofang Pancheng County Wei Sha Zhu, I have met Mr. Young Master, Mr. Lang.

Of course you can enter the city."

"But please leave your name, Mr. Lang."

"My surname is Zhang."

After saying these three words, Hu Xiuwu led Chen Duo with one hand and the horse with the other hand into Xiaofangpan City without looking back, and Sha Zhu did not dare to stop him.

After Hu Xiuwu left, the two gatekeepers wiped the sweat from their heads and asked, "Colonel Sha, who is that person?"

"Who is this person? You are beyond your reach."

Sha Zhu was not in the mood to explain to them now, so he pulled up the guard who was kneeling on the ground and whispered to him:

"Hurry up and find Mr. Xu County at the mission station and tell him that two immortals who can emit golden light have come to the city. Go quickly! Go quickly!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement, turned around and ran towards the location of Xiaofang Pancheng County Government Office.

Standing at the gate of the city and looking into the city, Sha Zhu tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, feeling a little uneasy:

A delegation from Chang'an just arrived, and now two more immortals have arrived. This little Fangpan City is probably going to become lively.
