  Chapter 33 Passing the test

  Chang'an City at dawn, just woke up.

  Wuhous rode horses on the street to announce the order to open the door, and the Wuhous patrolling the night had not yet come on duty.

  The gate of the city was only opened a crack just now, and the Marquis on the corner of the street were yawning and stretching themselves, waiting for the comrades who changed shifts to arrive.

  There are few pedestrians on the street, and it is empty and deserted.

  On the inner street of Yongda Fang, hundreds of people with guns, knives, horses and arrows suddenly poured out. A large group of cheering people, Fang Ding and Wuhou in front of the square gate were shocked.

  Wei Chang rode forward and rode forward, showing his waist badge.

   "Chang'an County Government Office!"

  Fang Zheng, Fang Ding, and Marquis Wu at the door were all at a loss. They wanted to close the door, but when they saw the bright swords and guns, they finally had to step aside with pale faces to make way.

  Qin Lang didn't make things difficult for these people either, he just asked Liu Jiu and the others to take the knives and guns from their hands, and then tied them up and threw them there.

   Time is tight, there is no need to delay here.

  Out of the gate of Yongdafang, Qin Lang and his entourage headed westward to the Chang'an county government office in Changshoufang.

  Passing through the corner of Yong'an Fang, the Wuhou team of the street shop was leading someone to take over, and saw Qin Lang bringing a group of familiar people over.

  Lao Zhang swallowed.

   "Brother Zhang!" Qin Lang greeted him with a smile.

   Team leader Zhang asked anxiously, "Who are you?"

   "It's time to fight against the chaos, the leader of the team, let's make contributions with someone!"

   "What's wrong with you?"

"Prince Qi Wang plotted rebellion and led his troops to attack the imperial palace. We are ordered by General Tiance, Shang Shuling, Yongzhou Mu, and the Twelve Guards General Qin Wang to seek rebellion and quell the chaos. Team leader Zhang hastened to follow the instructions! "

   Captain Zhang only felt bitterness in his mouth, but he didn't expect to get involved in this matter. The prince is plotting trouble? How is this possible. But seeing Qin Lang with a smile on his face, and the countless swords, guns, bows and arrows behind him aimed at them, Lao Zhang had no choice.

   "County Qin, a certain duty is here, so I dare not leave without permission." He could only say.

   "Taking rebellion and chaos is the top priority!" Qin Lang stared at Team Leader Zhang with a serious expression.

   Captain Zhang turned his head to look at the street shop men behind him who were also ashen-faced. There were twenty of them in total, but there were hundreds of them on the opposite side.

   "Old Zhang, I kindly gave you a chance to make contributions because of my previous relationship. Don't miss it."

  Old Zhang swallowed his saliva, knowing that he had no choice, either he would stay with Qin Lang, or he would be chopped down by them.

   "Thank you Sanlang for your support!" Lao Zhang finally had to smile wryly, and then called his brothers to join him, perhaps because he had drank with Qin Sanlang in Yongkangfang before, and no one resisted.

  The team moves on.

  Fortunately, along the way, there was no Marquis Wu patrolling the city.

   Came all the way to the Yamen in Chang'an County. Xu Jingzong didn't want to join at first, but Qin Lang directly invited him to go with him. In the end, he had no choice but to ride the horse.

  Qin Lang sent people to evacuate the weapons in the Jiazhan warehouse of Chang'an County Yamen. Although there were not many, they still got a lot of bows, crossbows, spears, large shields, and hundreds of sets of armor, which greatly boosted morale.

   It was also the first time to encounter resistance in the county government. Some officials who were loyal to the prince took the lead in rebelling, but they were the opponents of Qin Lang and others who came prepared.

  Those condemned prisoners and rangers acted extremely darkly, perhaps because they have been suppressed by the government for a long time, they will all look like tigers released from prison.

  If Qin Lang hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid these people would run away and start beating, smashing, looting and burning.

  Qin Lang remembered his plan and purpose, he had to rush to the Xuanwu Gate instead of smashing, smashing, looting and burning here.

   Walking out of Changshoufang, he ran into the patrolling cavalry of You Wuhou from the brigade head-on.

  About a hundred cavalry, although the number is not many, but these right Wuhou patrol cavalry are all fully armed and well equipped, including bright light armor, war horses, horned bows, spears, and horizontal knives.

   Hundreds of riders lined up on the street, bringing great deterrence.

   Some prisoners even backed away in fear.

   Liu Jiuce stepped forward immediately, and with a wave of the golden backed sword, the prisoner's head flew into the sky.

   "Whoever dares to retreat will die!" Liu Jiu roared, and no one dared to retreat immediately.

  Qin Yong even took off the octagonal copper hammer at this time, and rode forward directly.

  The servants of the Qin family, who rode twenty, also followed closely behind at this time, rushing straight forward.

  Lin San led a group of frontier rangers, not to be outdone.

   "Brothers, go!"

  Qin Lang had less than a hundred horses on his side, but their momentum was not weak at all.

  Liu Jiu, Wei Chang and others encouraged behind, and a large group of bad people and prisoners also moved forward with swords and guns, full of momentum.

  Qin Lang was wearing three layers of armor, like an iron man.

He was holding a Zhangba horse in his hand, and he didn't expect to charge forward like Qin Yong, but the leopard head sitting down turned out to be crazy, as if he was annoyed by those horses who stole his limelight, It roared, and then galloped forward.

  Qin Lang was led away by it on the horse, and could only complain helplessly.

  He was still thinking about it.

  Unexpectedly, I was jolting on the horse, and I actually felt it.

The horse spear in his hand didn't know how to arrange it just now, but now he felt as if he could use his arms and fingers. At this moment, he seemed to know how to ride a horse to fight, how to swing a spear and shoot an arrow, and even his mind was full of emotions. Numerous images of riding and archery training flashed in the video.

  Those were Qin Sanlang’s memories, the memories of his years of hard training, but all of this was loaded into his mind at once, and even his body had the muscle memory of riding a shooting lance.

  Several Marquis patrolling cavalry shot arrows at Qin Lang, and he couldn't dodge it in time, but the arrows failed to break through the three layers of thick armor, but stuck obliquely on it, adding some decorations to him.

  Qin Lang's confidence increased greatly.

  The leopard had already charged into the enemy's horse, and it bit its head, kicked its legs and attacked Marquis Wu's mount. Qin Lang was not idle on the horse, and also stabbed left and right with a spear.

  On the long street, two troops started a scuffle.

  The sound of fighting was loud.

  Those well-equipped Youwuhou patrol cavalry were beaten back and forth, and eventually they were defeated and dispersed. Maybe these people were disturbed by Xu Jingzong's words of beating rebels and fighting thieves, or maybe they were simply intimidated by Qin Langqin's fierce fighting style with people like Lin San Liu Jiu, and they were defeated in the end.

   "Don't chase, go to Fanglin Gate!"

  Prisoners and rangers were all very excited after winning the battle. They picked up equipment from the casualties of Wuhou patrolling horses, and snatched the mounts that lost their masters.

   After walking two more streets, a large number of people appeared in front of them again.

   "The one who came is Qin Sanlang!"

Someone shouted from the opposite side, Qin Lang looked over, and found that the leader was the grey-haired Yongzhou Zhizhong, Gao Shilian, who had already armed a group of prisoners, servants, desperadoes, etc. come out.

  The two teams joined forces, and their prestige was greatly enhanced.

   "Hurry up to Fanglin Gate!" Qin Lang reminded Gao Shilian that Fanglin Gate is one of the northern city gates of Chang'an, and only by taking down this gate can he rush to Xuanwu Gate to reinforce King Qin.

  Compared with the Marquis Marquis and Rangers in the neighborhood, Fanglin Gate has a stronger defense and more guards. You have to race for time, otherwise there will be more guards.

  Gao Shilian looked at the team behind Qin Lang, there were five or six hundred people, more than twice as many as him, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sanlang is really brave!"

  He simply handed over the two hundred people under his command to Qin Lang.

  The two teams continued to rush north after meeting. At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and there were already many pedestrians on the street, but when they saw this team passing by, they all ran away in the workshop.

  Wuhou street shop at the corner of the street, looking at the seven or eight hundred people, was afraid and dared not stop them.

  Even when this group of people shouted for rebellion and chaos, many people turned around and raised their knives to join them.

   "Follow the teachings of the King of Qin to punish the rebellion!" A military marquis shouted and joined with his sword in hand. He had fought under the command of the King of Qin. He heard that this team was taught by the King of Qin, so he joined without hesitation.

  And many villainous teenagers and rangers in the neighborhood along the way, after hearing their propaganda along the way, unexpectedly many brave people also joined with swords and guns, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to fight.

  Perhaps it was also because the King of Qin, Li Shimin, had a high prestige in the government and the people, so after Qin Lang and others used the name of the King of Qin to rebel, so many people would join.

  By the time they reached Fanglin's gate, the team had already reached more than a thousand people, and there were even two or three thousand people who followed to watch.

  Qin Lang had to lament that these Tang people were really brave, they dared to watch such a scuffle.

  Fanglin Gate is indeed closed.

  A refusal horse was erected in front of the door.

  Hundreds of soldiers stood guard in front of the gate, with shields lined up in front, rows of spears and guns behind, and many archers behind, and there were also large crossbows on the city.

   A chilling air.

  Liu Jiu came to Qin Lang with a big blood-dripping sword, "Damn, the reaction is really fast. This city gate is extremely guarded, so it's hard to hit."

  Qin Yong also nodded.

  Although they fought all the way, the team increased greatly, but after all, they lacked enough weapons, especially armor and shields. It was okay to fight in the neighborhood, but once they faced the heavily guarded city gate, it was difficult to attack.

  Just the city guard crossbow can make it difficult for them to approach, let alone so many crossbowmen.

   "Sanlang, this door must be taken down!" Gao Shilian rode over.

  Qin Lang squinted his eyes and looked at the Fanglin Gate, trying to forcefully take down the thousands of mobs behind him, it seemed that it was really difficult to reach the sky.

  Thinking of this, he rode his horse forward slowly.

  Gao Shilian and Xu Jingzong who just arrived exclaimed, but Qin Lang still didn't stop.

  In front of Fanglin Gate.

  All the sergeants guarding the gate nervously stared at Qin Lang who was stepping forward. The archers had already drawn the bowstring and fired their arrows, but none of them dared to open their bows and release their arrows even though their arms were sore.

  Qin Lang rode on the leopard head until he came to Juma before stopping.

"A certain is Qin Lang, the son of General Zuowei, General Tianjie, Yi Guogong, the chief officer of the Yanzhou Road, and the county captain of Chang'an. I teach you to lead the people to Xuanwumen to discuss rebellion and chaos, and King Qin will save you. Anyone who dares to stop will be regarded as a traitorous party and implicate the whole family, and will not be pardoned!"

  There was a commotion in front of Fanglin's gate.

   "May I ask which general is leading the army here, can you come here for a while?"

  On the Fanglin gate, An Xinggui is guarding the gate.

  The current Youwuhou General, Liangguo Gongan Xinggui, ranked first among the sixteen heroes of Wude.

  An Xinggui is a Sogdian Hu, and his family has been a powerful Hexi clan for generations. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he went from Chang'an to Hexi alone.

   At this time, he was standing on the tower of Fanglin Gate, staring blankly at the young man in front of the city, and suddenly felt that this young man had a bit of the courageous demeanor he had back then.

  He waved his hand and called for the soldiers.

   "Go down and tell this Qin Sanlang, I'll invite him to go up to the gate tower to have a talk! I don't know if he dares or not!"

  Below the city, after listening to the message, Qin Lang raised his head and looked up the city gate, just in time to see An Xinggui leaning on the stack, he laughed, "Lead the way!"

  The guards in front of the city gate made way for Qin Lang to climb up the gate tower amidst the sword.

   One old and one young meet and look at each other.

   "I have long heard that the An family is one of the two princes, and the brothers are all heroes. Today, I am finally lucky enough to meet the Duke of Liang." Qin Lang greeted.

   "If you have something to say, you don't need to be polite!" An Xinggui looked at Qin Lang with a smile, and felt that this kid really had the courage to see him more and more.

   "Chang'an is in chaos today, and we still have to rely on Duke Liang to stabilize the overall situation."

   "I'm really tired of watching those internal strife, I just need to guard this Fanglin Gate!" An Xinggui said.

"Mr. Liang, whether you can open this Fanglin Gate today or not, the ending has already been decided. Whether it is the prince or the king of Qi, it is impossible to sit on the dragon chair in the end, and finally sit in the Taiji Palace." , only the King of Qin. I dare say that if the sun does not reach the mid-heaven, everything will be settled."

  An Xinggui asked seriously, "Why are you so sure?"

   "Because this is a mutiny, this is a war, fighting with soldiers, King Qin far surpasses those two, even the one in the palace, and the most important thing is that they are not decisive enough or ruthless enough! Including that one!"

  An Xinggui narrowed his eyes, as if he was seriously thinking about this sentence.

   "Mr. Liang, to tell the truth, in fact, at this moment, King Qin has entered the Taiji Palace!"

  An Xinggui raised his head fiercely, looking at Qin Lang, full of surprise and fear, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Mr. Liang, if you can't open the city gate, it doesn't affect the overall situation, but it has a lot to do with you and the An family. You are a hero of martial arts. If you open this gate, you will be a hero of the new dynasty in the future. If you refuse to retreat, then you are a sinner of the new dynasty, how to choose is at the discretion of Mr. An!"

   "In Chang'an City, the King of Qin has only a few hundred soldiers, how can he turn the world upside down?" An Xinggui asked.

"A few hundred soldiers? King Qin is worth 100,000 soldiers. Look behind me, there are already thousands of soldiers there. Let me tell Mr. An that my father has already dispatched troops from the Weishui camp. Lead tens of thousands of soldiers to Chang'an!"

   "Chang He, the general of the Xuanwu Gate, has already secretly pledged his allegiance to the King of Qin."

   "Jing Junhong, the general of Beimen Tunying, is also a member of the King of Qin!"

  ······

   After a long time, An Xinggui finally sighed, "I'm getting old!"

  Qin Lang stood there looking at him, but didn't answer.

   "Lushan, go down and pass the order to open the Fanglin Gate and let it go!"

   "Mr. An, won't you accompany me to the Tai Chi Palace to **** you?"

  An Xinggui waved his hand a little disappointed, "Forget it, I'm old, so I won't join in the fun. When you see King Qin, just bring me a treat."

  Qin Lang nodded, bowed his hands and said goodbye, and went down the tower.

  The soldiers of the Marquis Marquis on the right stepped aside, and the closed Fanglin Gate slowly opened.

  The anxious Gao Shilian and Xu Jingzong who were waiting over there couldn't help being surprised when they saw the city gate open.

   "Sanlang, how did you convince that old guy?"

   "General An is a good man, let's go!" Qin Lang said with a smile, and the tight heart in his heart finally relaxed.

   More than a thousand people and horses filed past, passed through the Fanglin Gate, and arrived outside Chang'an City.

   Xuanwu Gate is not far away.
