C50

The man driving the first car in the caravan answered in a rough voice.

Not long after, three people were sitting on the city wall with bamboo baskets in their seats, inspecting the city as per normal.

One of the men in strange clothing said, "What kind of business are you guys in? Where are you going?"

The man said, "Reporting to the military lord, we are from Cheng Xiang Chamber of Commerce, and this time we are shipping good leather goods."

The man in strange clothing said, "Which master do you belong to in Cheng Xiang Chamber of Commerce?"

The merchant house's coachman said, "We are under the name of Lord Zhong." He took out three taels of silver from his robes and handed it over to the man in strange clothing, "These are my gifts to the three generals."

The man in strange clothing took the silver and slipped it into his pocket, saying, "At this moment, my territory of Cheng Village is in chaos due to bandits, and the population of foreign carriages and horses will have to go through strict inspection to pass."

The coachman said, "Of course, of course."

The three yellow uniformed men were checking the goods on the nine carriages one by one to see if there were any weapons hidden on them. When they arrived at the last carriage, they realized that it wasn't a carriage, so they called the coachman and said: "Tell all the coachmen and the people on the carriages to come down. We want to count the people, their names, and register them one by one and hand them over to the carriages."

The coachman's face changed as he said: "Master, wasn't there such a rule in the past?"

The person dressed in strange clothing said, "Stop talking nonsense. Aren't the Zheng Family's pirates coming over?!" You're making laozi count the number of people one by one, and yet you're annoying me? "Don't, you don't need to give me any silver this time, if I still dare to accept it, do you see, there will be a leader watching us at the castle!"

The coachman retracted his hand and looked towards the hole on the fort, but he could not see anything. He did not know what the leader meant, so he could only ask the old master.

Not long after, an old man and a young man with a white face and no beard came down from the back of the carriage.

As he approached, the old man showed him a sign.

The man in strange clothing looked at the sign and took out a small book from his chest pocket. He opened the book and looked at the old man and checked with the other two before saying, "So Master Zhong is personally leading the caravan to purchase it. I have offended many of you."

Master Zhong said, "The cars are full of my esteemed guests. Do not disturb them. Switch them on and off!"

Seeing that the three of them had no intentions of giving way, Old Zhong said unhappily, "What? You all still want to stop me?"

The person dressed in strange clothing said, "The orders of the higher-ups are my responsibility. Please forgive me." That means, you don't care about me, you can't do anything about me.

Master Zhong pointed at him angrily. When the white-masked young man next to Master Zhong heard their conversation, his skin and flesh twitched. Just as the three men in weird clothes were about to lose their heads …

The sound of three horses galloping came from the distance. Three luxurious carriages approached from the distance at an extremely fast speed. However, the carriages were not as dangerous as the other carriages.

When the carriage drew near, the curtains opened. It was a well-maintained and well-aged rich merchant. He seemed to be in his forties, but he also looked like he was in his thirties.

When the three men in strange clothing saw who it was, one of them immediately walked up to the carriage and said, "Master Wen, you've returned."

Following Liu Zhiqiang's orders, they went to gather the financial personnel of Sun Moon Sect's Bai Lian Altar, and also pulled over their specialty goods to tell them that there is a treasured land in Cheng Xiang County that produces all kinds of high quality goods, and that your Shang Jia faction can come over to purchase them. This time, not only did you cross the line to Ying Tian Palace, you even managed to build a relationship with them in Shuntian.

Wen Shou looked at the Sky Valve Army soldier, he knew who he was, so he said: "Oh, Xiao Peng! "What, long time no see, it's been a promotion."

The soldier from the Sky Valve Army was proud of the extra stars on his shoulder, and said happily: "Sir Wen, please take care of me!"

Wen Shousi chatted with him for a while, but suddenly, he saw someone beside him. It was his old friend. He greeted him, "Old Master Zhong, have you made a fortune recently?"

At first, Old Master Zhong saw that the soldiers of the Heaven's Gate Army did not want to give him face, but instead, towards this Wen Di Loach, he felt very displeased, but seeing him greet him, he came up with a plan: "Brother Sou Si, it's been a long time since I last saw you grow old, you've had a happy life, brother I'm in trouble, see, I can't even return home now, what kind of merchant guild can I be considered as?" After saying that, he pretended to be in pain and grief.

Wen Shou looked and asked what was going on with Xiao Peng from the Sky Valve Army, and Xiao Peng recounted the recent conflict between the Sky Valve Army and Zheng Chi-long's forces.

Wen Shou was also worried about Zheng Chilong's strength, but since he was not in Cheng Village, it was useless to worry about him. He asked, "Is the goods in question right? Is there anything wrong with them?"

Little Peng said, "Is that so? It's just that we haven't found the number of people and their origins!"

Wen Shou said, "You're giving me face. These people are all from the Chamber of Commerce. Let me be the guarantor!"

Little Peng said, "Look at what you're saying. They're acting like outsiders. We'll switch it off now." He then took out a charcoal pen and a piece of paper, and said to Wen Shou, "Master Wen, you can write a guarantee so that I can return and report back."

Wen Shousi scolded jokingly, "You slippery brat, are you afraid I won't admit it?" With that, she signed the guarantee and gave it to him.

Xiao Peng nodded his head repeatedly. "Elder Wen, your excellency, please take more responsibility. It's not that this little servant isn't good at dealing with you!"

Wen Shou Si smiled and shook his head. "Look at me, it's like you're talking about me." He looked at the guarantee in his hand and exclaimed, "Ah! Here you are! Switch it on and off! "

That day, the three of them went back to the cradle, and not long later, the gate to the castle was opened.

Wen Zhong and Wang Zhong exchanged a few polite words before each of them returned to their respective carriages. When His Excellency Wang heard the creaking sound of the gate opening, he knew that this eight-foot pass would be extremely difficult to deal with.

Not long after the carriage left, Sir Wang suddenly spoke up. "Commander Zhong, once we reach the ground, you can leave first. Do a good job. Our family will help you take on His Majesty's services."

Master Zhong was overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you all. If there is anything that your subordinate can do, please inform the Zhong Residence next to Cheng Xiang Chamber of Commerce. This servant will be there immediately." After saying that, he stuffed the bag into everyone's pocket. As for the gold leaf, gold spindle and jewelry, only the heavens knew.

These days, not only has he been living a good life, he has also made a big harvest of sweet potato crops with his new crop. He even sold them a good price in the Heavenly Valve Army and other merchant guilds, and was very happy in his heart, and yesterday, a teacher of the Heavenly Valve Army actually said that his grandson was born to be extraordinary, that his fate was destined to be neither rich nor expensive, and gave him a good name for free. He recited the name Zhu Zhiqiang, which was a very nice name, but also a very nice name.

Liu Keping heard the footsteps and looked up. It was someone approaching his house, and the person walking in front was his own village's Liu Zheng. Ever since these people heard that his grandson knew how to hunt, they didn't dare to look down on his family.

Liu Zheng said, "Old Man Liu, someone is looking for you. It seems like we're from the north. They speak very accurately, so there's less to it."

Liu Zheng spoke to the forlorn middle-aged man beside him: "This is the Old Man Liu you're looking for! I brought you the land, what about the ten silver? "

The middle-aged man without any appearance of wealth looked at the old Liu Keping, nodded at the young man with a pale face, and walked into the courtyard of the small bungalow without looking back. He didn't even look at the bloody scene behind him.

It took him a while to regain his senses. Looking at Liu Zheng on the ground, he couldn't help but say to the plump middle-aged man: "What's coming is coming. Supervisor Wang, you've gotten a lot richer over the years."

The young man did not need to wipe his sword and carry the corpse to the nearest grave. He did not dare to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Supervisor Wang said, "Our family has not been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time. You have aged a lot. "AHH!" "Old man, right now, our family's business is more important. Is your daughter Mrs Liu here …

Liu Keping said, "Look, that old man Ya forgot. Girl, come out. He sent someone to find you …"

Two days ago, Xia Yuanyi received a message from a pigeon stating that two of Cheng Xiang's fortresses had been attacked by Zheng Chilong at the same time. Among them, the battle at Guangfu Castle was the most tragic, but fortunately the enemy had already retreated.

The letter did not tell anyone about the battle at Gangfu, not even the commander of the Heaven Valve Army and the Hierarch of the Sun Moon Cult who was unconscious. Xia Yuanyi informed the people of the Sun Moon Cult in the castle, and then said, "The Sect Leader has six fortresses in Cheng Village, and the Zheng Family only ambushed two of them. Zheng Chi-long was not successful in ambushing them, and we should also retreat in the morning.

Gongzhi Qinglong suddenly said, "Master Xia, there must be a reason why the Sect Leader ordered us to set this place up. Furthermore, if this Zheng Chi-long wants to ambush our new territory, he will definitely make trouble from here."

Xia Yuanyi stared at him and said, "How dare you question me? I am the world's biggest sect and Zheng Zilong has the guts to come and snatch food from the tiger's mouth."

Gongzhi Qinglong thought to himself: I was just saying that Zheng Zilong ambushed two fortresses in Chengxiang, how could he not dare?

Seeing that the two of them were about to get into trouble, Liu Yanqin opened her mouth and said, "Master, the two of you are not doing this for the good of our sect. Why don't we wait for a few more days and wait for the Sect Leader's order before withdrawing."

Xia Yuanyi thought to herself: I didn't obey Sect Leader's orders to retreat, that's not the case. It's just that this messenger pigeon said that the enemy had retreated, and the intelligence department couldn't find the enemy even after searching for a thousand miles. Could it be that they could come from Fujian to Chaozhou Prefecture to invade Chengxiang?

And so, this strange military meeting ended.

There were many people scattered around the mountains, but they were all very quiet. There were very few birds that were alerted, so a young man said to the young man lying beside him: "Big brother, are we still not going to attack? The yellow flower vegetables have turned cold, and the dried food brought by our brothers has almost all been used up.

The young man said, "I'm told you should learn patience. It's the same as your second brother's brain. At the very least, his kung fu is better than yours."

Seeing him pout, the young man said: "These bandits are not simple, did you see that fort? This is something I learned from the red hair ghost, I said, why is it so bad, none of the people I sent can come back, Uncle Xuan is still there, but this also created an excuse for us."

The youth said, "Big brother, I don't understand. You are already an official of the court, and yet you still do such a thing. Are you not afraid that the court will send your official?"
