Chapter 264: Entering Ningzhou City
When it came to the wine used for the celebration of the clan, Chen Xiangyuan didn't believe it. Today's Li family in Ningzhou has been suppressed by themselves, even if they buy vegetables from the vegetable market, they are often threatened by the Chen family in Ningzhou, and they are sold to the Li family in Ningzhou for as much as 30%. And now Li Xiuyan is stretched, and he doesn't have so much spare money to celebrate the family, and even today next year may become the death day of the Li family in Ningzhou. Therefore, Li Xiuyan said that it was the wine on the day of the clan celebration, which inevitably made Chen Xiangyuan a little suspicious.
"It turned out to be a drink on the day of the clan's celebration. If Brother Li didn't say it, I would have forgotten. Our four major families in Ningzhou have always been the same enemy, and now on the day of the celebration of the Li family in Ningzhou, you must call me. Hey, what kind of drink is this, I'll try it. Chen Xiangyuan walked straight over from the side and took a sip of a jar of open wine, and the entourage of the Li family in Ningzhou next to him wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Li Xiuyan.
Chen Xiangyuan took a sip of wine, only felt sweet and delicious, and a trace of spicy throat, it seems that what Li Xiuyan said is true, this batch of goods is indeed the wine transported, it seems that the Li family in Ningzhou knows that time is running out, so take advantage of this time to repair it. It's just that I don't know where the goods I let people transport go, and it's dark and nowhere to be seen.
Li Xiuyan said with a smile: "How about it, what I said is true, right? It is a great honor for me to let the son of the Chen family in Ningzhou try the wine himself." However, on the day of the clan celebration, it is an internal matter of our Li family in Ningzhou, although I have a good relationship with Brother Li, but after all, I am not a member of the Li family in Ningzhou, so I can only say sorry, and I can't post it widely. ”
Chen Xiangyuan nodded, this superficial politeness was already familiar to people of their status. Since I can't wait to think of the goods today, I can only go back and think about it in the long run, which is nothing more than a little more energy.
When Chen Xiangyuan was about to start leaving, he found that a carriage in front of him had been stopped, and several guards at the state gate were all pointing at the coachman with big knives, and it seemed that something big had happened over there. Although Chen Xiangyuan is not a nosy person, he has nothing to do now, so it doesn't hurt to see what the situation is.
I saw a coachman pull out a long sword from the carriage, and without saying a word, stabbed at several guards at the state gate, but before everyone could react, he was tossing and turning in mid-air, ready to rush to other places. Before the guard of the state gate could react, he saw a black shadow flash and disappear into the night sky!
Martial arts cultivators of the synaesthesia realm! Everyone present looked at the appearance of the coachman, and also dispelled the idea of going to pursue. This is what happened before the state gate, and naturally it is not their turn to make a move from the four major families in Ningzhou, otherwise the state guard will not be able to save face. It's just that I don't know what the man was escorting, but he was recognized by the state gate guards.
Chen Xiangyuan held the torch, walked towards the front of the carriage, lifted the curtain on the carriage, and couldn't help but take a big breath. It turned out that this person was transporting a batch of crossbow arrows, and looking at the style, it didn't look like the things used in the state hall, but it was the practice in the black market. It's just that the goods he ordered are not like this, could it be that there is another group of people in Ningzhou City who are planning big things? So who is the ultimate target of the state guard? Looking at Li Xiuyan's interested appearance in front of him, it seems that he did not do it, such a calm expression, this is not something that can be pretended casually.
Chen Xiangyuan stretched out his hand to the back and whispered to his entourage: "Our goods have not arrived yet, they should have been robbed by others." The goods in front of him looked good, and the iron casts on them were polished off and transported back from the treasury of the state hall. Remember, do it in the dead of night and don't let anyone else find out. ”
The attendant was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid the things in this treasury are not so easy to take. In recent days, Qingzhou City has been turbulent, and our Ningzhou City has also had a lot of faces, but the state guard is very cautious, and the number of times he comes to our Chen family in Ningzhou to eat has decreased, let alone send this batch of goods to us?"
Chen Xiangyuan scolded with some anger: "Money can make ghosts grind! How can we call the matter of spending money a send? If these state guards don't say anything, and those guards in the state hall don't say anything, who can know the whereabouts of this batch of goods? Remember, you have to act quickly, and you must rob the goods before the state guard knows, otherwise I will be cheeky and the state guard will not be able to tell clearly. ”
The attendant nodded thoughtfully, stepped back, beckoned the others and hurried towards the city gate, not stopping at all along the way, presumably arranging things.
Now Qin Chuan is complaining, after this carriage is himself, he looked like he could enter the city in less than a moment, but now that he is making such a fuss, he must carefully search this carriage. It doesn't matter to me, but now that Shen Lingqiu and Aunt Zhi are in the carriage, if they are recognized by Chen Xiangyuan, it will be difficult to run at that time.
It's just that now, I can only bite the bullet. With the greeting of the state gate guard, it was impossible to turn back, so he could only whip and rush towards the front slowly.
The guard at the state gate was frightened by the horseman before, and the knife in his hand was directly brought over, and he asked Qin Chuan, "Who are you? What are you doing in Ningzhou City? What is this carriage loaded on?"
Qin Chuan pretended to be very frightened and said: "If you go back to your lordship, I am from Qingzhou, and I came to Ningzhou City to treat my illness. On this carriage were my aunt and cousin, who were seriously ill and had been told that they were suffering from tuberculosis, so they wanted to go to Ningzhou City to see if they could be cured. You also know that our Qingzhou City is full of quacks, and it is not as exquisite as Ningzhou City. ”
When a guard at the state gate heard this, he immediately covered his nose, walked towards the carriage, opened the curtain with a knife, and saw two delicate figures in the night, and with a few coughs, the guard of the state gate frowned, and looked around the ruts of the carriage, and found that there was no deep mark in it, and there should be some soft on the carriage except for two people. So he glanced at Ambassador Zhou Lao and signaled that there was no problem.
But Boss Zhou didn't believe it, he couldn't see the faces of the two clearly in the night, if the gangsters entered the state gate, then his head would not be safe, so he walked towards the carriage with a torch, wanting to find out.
There were a few coughs from the carriage behind Qin Chuan, and the sound of banging on the carriage came from time to time, it should be that the people inside had serious tuberculosis and were out of breath.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan opened his mouth and said: "My lord, this will be Ningzhou City soon, please let me live, otherwise we have come here with great difficulty, but it is really a three-person trip, and one person will return." I'm alone, and it's hard to live the rest of my life. ”
Li Xiuyan may not be able to look at it from the side, and said to the guards at the state gate: "Master Zhou, look at the sickly look on this young man's face, if he is a cultivator of the martial arts rivers and lakes, how is this possible? In my opinion, you just let people go into the city, otherwise let the merchants who come and go say that our Ningzhou City is not authentic, and the dying people will not be saved." ”。
The guard at the state gate saw that it was not early, and nodded beside him, and this Zhou Ye said with a smile: "Li Gongzi spoke, this little face still has to be given." Go in, if I catch you as a junior, I won't spare you. ”
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, waved his whip and walked towards the front, and the city gate behind him was heavily closed.
