Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chapter 909

Hearing Chengmen Lang's words, Chu Mo was stunned on the spot.

He never expected that he would fool Li Chengqian, gain his trust, and even pull Cui Yingying onto the pirate ship.

I thought that with the power of the prince and the Cui family, it would not be easy to leave the city.

But he didn't expect that he would be blocked by this little city gatekeeper.

Immediately, Chu Mo pretended to be angry and shouted:

"Do you know that our team is under the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. We have urgent matters that need to be handled outside the city. If it is delayed because of you, you may be able to shoulder this responsibility when the time comes?"

Hearing Chu Mo's threat, Chengmen Lang smiled bitterly and said with an old face like a blooming chrysanthemum:

"Sir, it's not because the little one insists on doing this. It's because of the orders from above. The little one doesn't dare to disobey."

"If the little one disobeys the order and releases you and others privately, I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, the little one and the whole family will end up with their heads on the ground."

After saying that, the city gate man plopped down and knelt in front of Chu Mo:

"Please have mercy, sir, and give me a way to survive."

At this time, Chu Mo was dumbfounded.

I was still thinking that if this old guy didn't understand current affairs, then I would threaten his life at any time. If that didn't work, I would use his whole family as a threat.

But before he could say anything, this old guy blocked his way.

Looking at the city gatekeeper who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Chu Mo just felt heartbroken. His own way was blocked by the other party. So what should he do now?

After thinking for a while, he coughed and said:

"You said you were under orders from above, but who is your superior? Go and find him, and I will argue with him myself."

When he heard Chu Mo asking his superior to come, the city gate man lying on the ground rolled his eyes, and then said in a sad voice:

"Sir, it's not because I don't want to do it. It's because Shangguan has something to do at home. He took leave for the past two days and went out of the city to go home."

"If you want to find him, you must leave the city."

"Then ask someone to open the door and let us out. I will give you an explanation when the time comes."

Chu Mo looked at the city gate sternly and said.

"But sir, without the will of the Holy One and the order of the superior officer, I really don't dare to open the door and let people go."

The miserable voice of Chengmen Lang came again.

At this moment, Chu Mo finally figured out that the old guy in front of him was just messing around and making fun of himself.

When I was thinking about whether to kill the opponent with a knife, I suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of my eye. The surrounding gatekeepers all had their hands on the handles of their swords, and the soldiers on the city wall were bending their bows and setting arrows. The deputy looked eager to try.

What the hell, you are just waiting for me to take action and leave us all here.

Feeling the tense atmosphere around him, Chu Mo clenched his fists.

Now that he was asked to take action, he really didn't dare.

Although he was protected by Yang Ying, he was absolutely safe in terms of safety.

But the rest of the team will definitely become the opponent's first priority target.

It would be hard for them to tell if he would be fine by then.

But if he really wanted to swallow this breath, Chu Mo would not do it no matter what.

Thinking of this, he looked at the guard captain of the Prince's Mansion.

You bitch, you got your own banknote, now it's your turn to do your part.

Receiving Chu Mo's dissatisfied look, the guard captain immediately took a few steps forward knowingly, looked at the city gatekeeper kneeling on the ground, and drank in a deep voice:

"Little old man, do you recognize me?"

"In the name of the prince, I am escorting important supplies out of the city. Please open the city gate quickly and let us out."

Hearing the words of the guard captain, Chengmen Lang immediately raised his head and said with a flattering smile on his face:

"Your Excellency is an official of the Prince's Mansion, so I will naturally recognize you, but without the emperor's order, I can't do anything about it."

"you..."

The captain of the guard did not expect that he would come forward, and this damn city gatekeeper would not give him face. He immediately became angry and pulled out the saber from his waist with a clang.

However, before he could raise the sword, there was a roar and a large group of soldiers surrounded everyone.

Looking around at the soldiers with bright armor and holding firecrackers, spears and bows and arrows, the guard captain held the knife in his hand, neither cutting nor holding it back.

He was stunned on the spot for a moment.

Chu Mo never expected that the guard captain of the Prince's Mansion could be so useless that he couldn't even deal with a small city gatekeeper, and he was intimidated by the opponent's formation.

Immediately with a dark face, he looked at the city gate man and drank:

"Why, could it be that you want to rebel and take action against the people in our Prince's Mansion?"

"My lord, please don't misunderstand me. Even if you give me a hundred courages, I won't dare to do such a rebellious thing."

The city gate man smiled honestly, then looked around and said:

"You adults may not know that the little old man is old and has been guarding the city gate here for some years. These kids are too young and do not know how to do things properly. It is not easy for me to look at an old guy. You should be worried about my old age. The bones are scattered here, I just want to come up and help.”

"This gentleman was too excited just now. Maybe he misunderstood something. Otherwise, I will let them put away their weapons and return to their posts?"

This sentence seems to be asking Chu Mo, but in fact it is warning and threatening Chu Mo. If you dare to act differently and irritate this group of young people, then he can't guarantee that something unpleasant will happen.

If Chu Mo follows the other party's wishes and asks the other party to come forward and stop these soldiers and ask them to retreat, it means that Chu Mo's side has lost in terms of momentum.

But if the old man is not allowed to stop these soldiers, if there is a conflict later, the consequences will not be controllable by anyone.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo took a deep breath, looked at the city gate man fiercely, and said angrily:

"You only get a salary of less than five taels a month. Do you need to work so hard?"

"It's not possible if we don't work hard. The little old man's family is counting on me for this job. If he doesn't do things well, not only will he be killed, but also his family will be implicated. The little old man will feel miserable."

The old man sighed, looking like he was helpless, and almost made Chu Mo laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay, I remember you."

Chu Mo gritted his teeth and looked at the other party. Just as he was about to say a few harsh words, he heard the other party respectfully shout to him with the snake-killing stick:

"Thank you for your great love. The little old man will work conscientiously in the future, stay at the gate of Mingde, and keep your teachings in mind."
