Chapter 145: Race Against Time
In the early morning of the next day, the carriage arrived in the northern city of the border of Daqi, and the teaching Xi Lin Zuo and his party arrived here with the carriage, no matter what, they were going to go to Tang Wen's general's mansion, one was to need a certificate of exit, and the other was to hand over information to him.
With the rumbling sound of the carriage and the clatter of the horses' kicks, it gradually drove from the city spirit to the general's mansion, and General Tang Wen personally went out to greet him.
When Tang Wen saw Lin Zuo and Jiao Xi come to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he only needed to send them out of the city again to complete the task, the princess had food on her side, and relying on the towering city wall, she could be free for a while, and at present, after the convoy left the city, the iron guards should have no way to intercept it, they didn't even release the sentry horse, this road was extremely safe!
Tang Wen had seen Huang Yu Jiaoxi, he was a powerful soul master, and it would naturally be better to have him appear.
Tang Wen did not slack off, and hurriedly asked the waiter to prepare a gold-rimmed seat, exquisite tea sets and desserts.
But Huang Yu was very impatient, and stretched out his hand to call everyone back.
Tang Wen didn't know what was going on with him, but he still looked at Huang Yu with a smile.
"General! Things have to be fast, the people of the Rain Arch estimate that it will not take long to attack the caravan, when we go out, there will be the trackers of the Rain Arch trailing, presumably they have just entered the city at this time, with my understanding of them, they will immediately go to find the location of the sect in the city, and then send people to make it difficult for this group of caravans, not to mention that when the time comes, Ling Feng and I will also be caught by them when they come here, saying that the academy is interfering in the trade without authorization, I am afraid that there will be no way to send this batch of grain at that time. ”
Tang Wen's face immediately turned cold: "Okay, you wait, I'll go there for instructions, and then send you out of the city immediately, and I'll tell you about other things while I go." ”
Huang Yu nodded, Tang Wen immediately turned around and ran to the office, picked up the caravan's paperwork and signed and sealed.
By the time he ran to the gate of the general's mansion with the paperwork to leave the city, the convoy was already ready to depart, anxiously waiting for him.
Without saying a word, he directly ordered the guards next to him to follow, and then jumped into the carriage of teaching, and Lin Zuo gave an order, and the caravan drove to the north city gate.
Today's Beicheng is extremely lively, a team of people and horses are galloping quickly on the streets, and the caravan on Tang Wen's side has just left.
A team of Rain Arches ran to the gate of the General's Mansion.
The deacon of the Rain Arch in Beicheng is called Xu Songling, and he received a report from two disciples of the Great Elder who came from David, and the academy brought a caravan to Beicheng, and here Xu Songling is the local prefect.
The rain arch is the financial department of Daqi, which means that in fact, the status of the deacon is not much different from the actual general, although it is slightly lower, but it already has a certain right to speak.
"Trouble a few people, I have something to talk to your general. Xu Songling said to a few guards.
The guards naturally didn't know what was going on, and looked at each other in embarrassment, the general went out, but he didn't know where he went.
One of the guards stepped forward and saluted, "My lord, we don't know, the general has already gone out, and we don't know where he is." ”
Xu Songling was also polite, waved his hand at the guards and then thought about it, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly ordered the people behind him: "Go to the city gate, that suspicious caravan will definitely go out of the city, hurry! ”
The people of the rain arch ran over the street at great speed, and the pedestrians on the road were hit on the spot before they had time to dodge, and the chickens and dogs jumped and the vendors were all unlucky.
After they had run away as if in the wind, the people slowly walked to the middle of the road, and suddenly there was a sound of invective.
Rain Arch, reputation is never good in the eyes of commoners.
Running and chasing, when the rain arch ran to the north city gate, Xu Songling suddenly felt bad.
Looking from afar, Tang Wen was at the gate of the North City Gate, and when he looked into the distance, he turned around and saw the Rain Arch team that was coming.
There was a smile on his face, as if he was feeling some restrained excitement.
Xu Songling and the people behind him saw Tang Wen's expression, their faces were a little twitching, they were in the same area, everyone looked up and didn't look down, and naturally knew that this was his expression of schadenfreude.
Tang Wen doesn't like this Xu Songling, here is the border, the two of them are at peace, there have been no major disputes, and they also give each other some face.
But in this matter, the rain arch will not let it go again, directly cross the rain arch, and do business on his territory, how can the rain arch be satisfied.
And the two powerhouses on the other side who were tracking also informed that there was still the academy behind them.
Xu Songling didn't think it was a trivial matter, the academy had just faced off with the Rain Arch, and the Rain Arch had not gained anything except for killing a dozen teachers and the five old men killed during the duel.
When the sect master was faintly preparing to face the academy's opponent, the academy came to his own territory first, how could this make him feel at ease, and he would find out the details of this group of caravans and even detain them.
Xu Songling stepped forward, "Brother Tang, it's been a long time, don't come unharmed!"
Tang Wen hurriedly replied: "Alas, it's still the same, why do you have time to come here today?
Xu Songling replied: "That's natural, it is said that a group of caravans have just left the city, we have to go and see, don't send the enemy the war supplies they need, it's not very peaceful over there recently, and those who are still running there to do business must be our country's spies, give them back at this time, in case they use our things to beat us, then my deacon will be too derelict in his duties." ”
Tang Wen immediately exclaimed: "Oh brother, fortunately you told me that there is such a thing, I really thank you so much, I am enlightened by what you said, well! I have to strengthen martial law, if I go out of the city at this time, it is estimated that it is to seek wealth, I can't imagine that they even have to earn this kind of black money, so let's do it, the tax paid by the customs will be increased by half." ”
Xu Songling's face suddenly turned cold, "This matter needs to be considered again, wouldn't the increase of half make most merchants have no way to live?" Also, the caravan has left the city just now, and this part is still under my control, I will arrest them, please give me a convenience, let go of the city gate and let us pass." ”
Tang Wendeng exclaimed: "This is no problem, come on, come on, official and private affairs, follow me to the mansion, I will build you out of the city documents, come, the big guys will follow, there is one counted, I will give your deacon a face today, all covered!"
