Chapter 468： gate guard

The latest website: After walking a few steps, they saw the Colonel of Chengmen who was standing on the tower overlooking the city gate. The three brothers did not need to be reminded by the soldiers who led the way, and went to meet them directly.

"See the Chengmen Colonel!"

"No ceremony, the Prince of Chu County has already ordered someone to pass the word, which of you will come to guard the city gate today."

He frowned and looked at the three people in front of him. One was smaller than the other. Although the older one was taller, he looked quite immature.

The boss stepped forward, "It's me, I'm the eldest son of General Xuande, Zhou Yong."

Chengmen Colonel raised his eyebrows, yo, is he still someone with a background?

Xuande General Zhou Cheng, he knew, was also his boss, but not his immediate boss.

Then you can't sell the favor of the King of Chu County.

He calmly stepped forward and patted Zhou Yong on the shoulder.

Zhou Yong felt the pressure on his shoulders, but he still didn't change his face, and kept his salute posture, motionless.

Colonel Chengmen raised his arm, "Very good, it should be able to withstand the erosion of wind and snow for half a month. My surname is Zeng, you can call me Colonel Zeng."

"The City Gate Bureau is affiliated to Menxia Province, with two school captains in charge of guarding the capital."

"I'll guard the south gate, and there's a captain who guards the north gate. Since you're here at the south gate, you'll be here to guard the south gate for the next two weeks, right?"

"Yes, no problem, but it is arranged by Colonel Zeng."

Colonel Zeng nodded and ordered the soldiers to go to the warehouse to get him a pair of armor.

Since you want to guard the city gate, you must wear armor and dress uniformly.

You can return it after a while.

"Go, it's time to open the city gate, you go to the city gate and choose a corner position to stand."

"Yes."

Zhou Yong resigned honestly and went to wait at the gate of the city below.

The second child and the third child are getting smarter now. After they got off the tower, they went back to the carriage and motioned Qingsong to drive closer to the city gate.

The boss didn't care whether they were with him or not. He was about to start his first day of work, and he felt a little excited.

He walked directly to the right side of the city gate to stand. This position was just right to avoid the northwest wind and would not blow directly.

The soldier beside him turned his head to look at him curiously, he grinned and said, "Brother, is it alright for me to stand beside you?"

The soldier asked curiously: "Are you a newcomer? You don't look like us soldiers at the bottom. How could you be sent to guard the city gate and your armor? As soon as you come, we have one more person. , The shift boss this month didn't even mention it."

"I joined on a temporary basis. I haven't gotten the armor yet. Someone has already gone to the warehouse to pick it up. I'll change it later. As for the reason, don't say it, I'll keep it for half a month. Please take care of everyone." Zhou Yong said politely to the two platoons of soldiers who were looking at him curiously.

Just showed him the way to find Captain Zeng, and after a while he became one of them.

"Which family's young master are you?"

Zhou Yong laughed and avoided answering, "I'll come over and experience what it's like to stand at the gate of the city."

Whoever came to the gate of the city to stand guard for half a month in a cold weather must have been punished, but he didn't know what happened.

Although everyone was curious, they didn't want to say it, and they didn't force it. They just nodded and didn't say anything.

The soldier beside him was still very friendly, and said with a smile, "The position you chose is good. It's been windy these two days, and it's just shelter from the wind. We rotate positions on both sides every ten days."

"Ah? Then when you change to the other side, you still have to blow your hair, you can't escape."

"The time to change will be a year later, and there may be no wind by then."

"impossible?"

The soldier scratched his head, "I'm not sure either, haha~"

"What's your name?"

"My name is Liu Dazhong."

"My name is Zhou Yong."

…

Zhou Yong asked him about the situation of defending the city, and he was happy when he heard the bell ringing on the city tower, and they knew that the time had come.

Liu Dazhong did not care about talking to Zhou Yong, and went to open the city gate with the other soldiers.

As for Zhou Yong, he was new to the scene and knew nothing, so he just stood and watched.

As soon as the city gates opened, the people waiting outside the city streamed in one after another.

At present, except for the war in Nanman, other places in the Great Xia Dynasty have stabilized.

Although the current sage has only recently ascended the throne, he is no longer a child of yellow mouths and has his own views on governing the country.

Immediately after the war, officials were dispatched to appease the people everywhere, and a series of policies on recuperation and recuperation were promulgated.

The Great Xia Dynasty still looked like a thriving scene. The number of people leaving the city has decreased a lot, but the people entering the city are still in constant stream.

After all, the New Year is approaching, and many people have to stock up on New Year's goods, and people who search again will prepare some food for the New Year.

The second and the third waited for their eldest brother to put on the armor, and they said hello and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, they saw Zhou Shan and Zhou Yi's carriage approaching.

They talked through the car window, "Why are you here in the early morning?"

"Come here and see the demeanor of General Zhou." Zhou Yi stretched his head and looked around looking for Zhou Yong's figure.

"I got up late today, when did you arrive?" Zhou Shan also asked.

The second child replied, "Open the city gate at Mao Shi, we will arrive at Mao Shi, didn't the eldest brother tell you not to come so early yesterday?"

"Just get up a little earlier than usual."

Zhou Yi looked at the front of the carriage and changed direction, and asked, "Are you going back?"

"Yeah, big brother is standing there. We can't stay with us all the time. It's windy here. We plan to go back first and come back at noon. Anyway, we're just waiting here."

"You can take a look, and you can go home." The third child added.

The two looked at each other through the car window.

Zhou Yong stood guard, it seemed that they were really useless to stay here, but wouldn't it be in vain to just go home?

"I'll go and see who the captain of Chengmen is, and let him take care of the elder brother." Zhou Shan said after thinking.

"This is okay, let's go together."

"We won't go, I'll wait for you here~ I just saw the captain of the city gate. He is on the tower." The second child thought of the wind blowing on the tower, and didn't want to go up again. .

"That's fine."

Zhou Shan and Zhou Yi felt it as soon as they went up to the gate tower. The northwest wind on the gate tower was not very friendly. No wonder the two guys were reluctant to travel more.

The two shivered and continued to follow behind the soldiers.

Captain Zeng also wondered how the second son of the Huainan Prince's Mansion came to him early in the morning for no reason.

He had heard that the second son was found halfway, but he was not very clear about his connection with the Zhou family.

This is now the precious pimple of the Huainan Palace, much more expensive than the prince.

The King of Huainan was different from other princes who had been cut down from the vassal.

All in all, it wasn't because he was offended by one of the city gate captains.
