Chapter 228 Yumen
“This place really lives up to its reputation!”

Lu Weimang tightened his cap, looking at the billowing yellow sand outside Yumen Pass.

They stopped and turned randomly along the way, and finally arrived at Yumen Pass in the west of Yongzhou after more than a month.

It's a simple small city, the low city walls make Lu Weimang feel as if he can jump on the city walls with a single jump.

The famous Yumen Pass is nothing more than a half-height earthen pass, even more shabby than the hastily built Qingshi Pass by Chengyang in Hanzhong.Only the gorgeously dressed merchants passing by from time to time can show the extraordinaryness of this pass.

Lu Weimang and his party were outside Yumen Pass, looking at the four fields of Yumen Pass with emotion.

"The verses that have been handed down since ancient times have given this pass a special temperament. Although it looks simple, it can clearly feel extraordinary."

Huo Jing also looked at the four fields of Yumen Pass, all outside the pass was occupied by yellow sand, only camels could pass, and only Populus euphratica could survive.The reason why there is a piece of yellow sand in the eyes is Yumen.

Of course, Huo Jing, as the military and political officer guarding Yongzhou, the closest and most trusted person of His Majesty, looking at Yumen Pass, his own national border, of course, thinks and feels differently from Lu Weimang, the civil affairs officer.

"I don't know if it is difficult to drink water here, and is there enough food?"

Lu Weimang muttered like this.

Hearing Lu Weimang's muttering, Huo Jing smiled, "He is really a qualified chief officer."

Huo Jing and Lu Weimang just didn't disturb each other, and looked at Yumen Pass tacitly.But the pedestrians and merchants around looked at the team in awe.

The clothes of this group of people are the only ones they have ever seen in their lives. Some locals, exhausted their heads, can't think of the identities of Huo Jing and Lu Weimang and the group. They all look like Han Chinese? Could it be that they are from Tiandu? No, it’s too far away, so it shouldn’t be possible.”

While the people coming and going were sizing up and watching in private, the chief official of Yumen, a dry old man "sprinted" out of the city gate at a speed that didn't match his stature.

"Huo Hou! Master Lu! You guys are finally here!"

As he spoke, he even fell under Huo Jing's horse because he didn't stop the car.

Huo Jing controlled the horse to take a step back, and asked in a faint voice, "But the chief officer of Yumen?"

The old man got up excitedly, and patted the sand on his body. The sand rose up, almost covering his thin body.

"It's the old man!"

After carelessly patting the sand off his body, the skinny old man raised his head and said.

Lu Weimang and Huo Jing looked at each other and got off their horses.

"How did you know it was us?"

Lu Weimang asked curiously.

Although the old man was thin, he didn't shrivel up, and he didn't have the slowness of ordinary old people. Except for the dust on his body, Lu Weimang felt clean and energetic.

If it weren't for the wrinkles on the old man's face, the gray hair, and the exposed arms that were different from the young man's thinness, Lu Weimang even felt that the person in front of her was not an old man, but a teenage partner. Young people with strong curiosity and vitality in everything.

"Last year when His Majesty arrived at Yumen, the old man knew that one day he would be able to wait for Huohou and Lord Lu. You see, we will wait for it in less than half a year!"

The old man said excitedly, and explained to Lu Weimang with great interest, "The government decree was delivered slowly. The old man only got the decree last winter. You two will be in charge of Yongzhou. No, the weather must be getting warmer this year. , the two of you will come over to inspect, right? The road here in Yumen is not easy for us, so we will be delayed on the road, isn’t it just now?”

Listening to the old man's words and looking at the old man's enthusiastic eyes, Lu Weimang felt a little uncomfortable.They traveled all the way and arrived very late, but the old man thought they were rushing.

Huo Jing also got off his horse and stood beside Lu Weimang. Seeing her face to face, the old man said he felt guilty, and laughed inwardly. A gentleman deceives her, but Lu Weimang just can't stand being treated warmly and sincerely.The old man in front of him was really looking forward to their coming, but what he said just now was absolutely exaggerated, so that Lu Weimang felt guilty, so that he could make conditions later.

Huo Jing had insight into the old man's heart, and he didn't say anything, just glanced at the old man with sharp eyes.

The old man's eyes shrank and his expression stagnated, knowing that Huo Hou was not as pure-minded as Mr. Lu, so he softened his tone and looked at Lu Weimang.

"Lord Lu, let's enter the city quickly! This Yumen Gate is not as prosperous as the Jincheng City you directly belong to today, and it's a bit dilapidated. Don't dislike it!"

The old man's words were full of flaws. He obviously understood the changes in Jincheng in the past year, so he could say that Jincheng was prosperous and prosperous.

But Lu Weimang has never been wary of sincere people. Her five senses are sensitive, and she can tell a person's kindness and attitude towards her just by meeting her.

Some people are smiling, and they say sweet words that seem to be smeared with honey, but Lu Weimang first feels that this person is wrong, and will instinctively resist contact with this person. There are unfinished words hidden in her words , Lu Weimang can also detect it sensitively, just like the "flower head" lady in Yangzhou.

But some people are sincere to her, then Lu Weimang will filter out the occasional inappropriate words from this person, and treat each other with sincerity.

For example, the queen and the old man in front of her.

When the old man looked at her, his sincerity and enthusiasm almost overflowed, which made Lu Weimang treat each other with politeness unconsciously.

"You are welcome, old man, let's go to the city to talk about it!"

Huo Jing knew that this old man might be asking for something from Lu Weimang, but his eyes were clear and without distractions. People with such eyes must not be doing it for personal gain, so Huo Jing let his narrow-mindedness go. .

The black armored guard followed Huo Jing and Lu Weimang off their horses and entered the city. Yu Guang, the old man who was leading the way, saw that the Huo family was so respectful, and the smile on his face deepened.

With the dilapidation of Yumen Pass, not many people will deliberately dismount and enter the city at this dilapidated pass.

Although the etiquette rules of dismounting and entering the city were first practiced at Yumen Pass and spread throughout the world.

The mighty Huo family and their party entered the solemn Yumen county government office.

"When the parachutist was guarding Yumen, he led his soldiers to collect materials from the vast grasslands and deserts, so that the Yumen county government and the gates were built in such a grand style! But time has passed, and Yumen Pass has been broken several times. Now the city gate It has long since lost its original majestic appearance, but this government office is rare to be preserved. Hehe, yes, no matter who breaks the city, he must have a place to stay. So it is normal for this place to be preserved intact!"

Following the old man's explanation, a group of people entered the county government office.

Different from the solemnity outside, there is a desolate atmosphere inside, and Lu Weimang even feels that it is not as popular as the temple of an expert on Immortal Cliff.

"Rough tea and light food, Master Lu and Huo Hou, don't be disgusted!"

The old man led everyone to the Ming Hall.
