Ma Tie introduced to several leaders, "My eldest brother is still three days away, and he seems to be slightly dissatisfied with our attack this time. ”

"No matter what the final conclusion is, we will do a good job in the current trade, and as for the rights and wrongs in the future, we have to bother Mr. Yang Chen to analyze it."

The young man replied, "This is natural, I came here to contact the Ma family, and I proposed this plan, so I will naturally explain the reason." ”

Ma Tie admired this young celebrity named Yang Chen very much, especially his ability to adapt to changes.

At first, he heard that a large group of wealthy merchants appeared on the side of Hanyang County, and later he was bent on maintaining his father's dignity and secretly fought against the Xiliang Army together.

In the end, after unexpectedly meeting Tong Yuan, he had an idea and changed from burning, killing and looting to starting trade. Even in a matter of moments, he came up with a set of rhetoric, and taught them to make Xianqin County agree to the request.

My father always said that his martial arts and riding skills were not as good as his brother's, but this new scribe learned strategy, and he would not lose to them. In the future, this family will depend on my Ma Tie's ability.

After the meeting, the young scholar named Yang Chen returned to the camp. I saw that his muscles were prominent, his expression was terrifying, and he was filled with extreme resentment in his heart.

At this time, a person who looked like a waiter walked in and said, "The head of the house, the inside has been contacted, although the other party is strictly inspected, but he can't think of it......"

"Good! Good! Just take this child thief to sacrifice the knife first, and Dong Bai won't be able to jump for a few days. Still want to go home and worship? First of all, I will pay back my uncle and everyone's lives! ”

"Since they can't plant Shao and Liu Fan, then it's up to me to do it, rekindle the war in the northwest, and let these border villains die without a place to be buried!"

These words were all ruthless whispers in a low voice, and Ma Tie was careless and didn't think about the possibility of conspiracy at all. So until Ma Tie died, he didn't figure out what was going on in the past few days.

The waiter said, "Master of the family, do you want to leave a letter to the Dafu Vulture Temple in Qingliang Mountain?" ”

The young scholar hesitated slightly, he took a deep breath, bit his finger fiercely, and wrote on the silk book.

As he wrote, he said, "Very good! I left a blood book and an ink letter. If it is done, persuade him to continue. If it doesn't work, give him the blood book! ”

The waiter was deeply shocked, and immediately knelt on the ground, begging the head of the family not to be too dangerous.

The young scholar known as Yang Chen said, "I, Wang Chen, did not give up my life last time, which led to the death of Steward Chen and his concubine. This time I will not give up if I take the thief's life. You don't have to worry, tomorrow you will take the letter to the Dafu Vulture Temple. ”

After speaking, Wang Chen couldn't help but smile when he looked at the blood on his hands. This time, I can't come back, and the Wang family in Qixian County will be handed over to my younger brother Wang Ling.

……

Three days later, Xianqin County was still as peaceful as ever.

The trade outside the city is almost underway, and there is almost no more goods to be sold on the side of Ma Tie. It is estimated that in one day at most, they will leave, and Xianqin County can also lift the state of closed management.

This trip to Tianshui also made the Four Seas Merchant Gang completely gain a foothold, and I believe that it will not be long before the rest of the families will establish trade ties with Xiayang.

With this foundation, it will be much easier for Jia Xu's side, and Liangzhou will stab Shi Weiduan, and he will not have to worry about the possibility of being attacked by the enemy on his abdomen and back.

As long as the foundation is laid well, and the state is also taken as a front-line rear, and then wait until the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the princes, this side can really be passed on.

"Wang Xiaoniang, do you see anything unusual about the other party today?"

Tong Yuan asked Wang Yi, who had just returned from trading outside the city. The two have been in contact again these days, but Tong Yuan can feel that Wang Yi is still a little evasive about himself.

Wang Yi, who was wearing a cyan cloak, stared out of the city, and replied, "Hui Junhou, the other party is very slack, and there is no possibility of attacking. ”

Tong Yuan said softly, "Very good, this emergency has turned into a safe one, and it is finally going to pass." If I do my best, I will definitely let more high-quality goods be trafficked over and let this land develop well. ”

Wang Yi bowed and said, "Thank you, Marquis!" I have always looked forward to the prosperity and tranquility of my hometown like Xiayang, but I didn't expect to be so fortunate to know Junhou and witness the city wall of Junhou guarding his hometown, which is really amazing. ”

Tong Yuan was slightly happy, so that he didn't show it too obviously. Wang Yi hasn't talked much in the past few days, but today she suddenly relaxed, and it seems that the danger has really passed.

He said, "The last time I listened to Wang Xiaoniang play Konghou, I really lingered, if you have the opportunity to go to Xiayang, I will introduce you to a talented woman who is good at playing the piano, and listen to the two of you play a song together." ”

Wang Yi said with slight expectation: "Dare to ask, but is it Mr. Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan?" ”

"Exactly. How do you know about her reputation? ”

Wang Yi smiled and said, "As long as each family has a daughter who studies and arts, they will know Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji's reputation." I'm so weak that I really don't dare to show my timidity in front of everyone. ”

But she suddenly thought of something, and a slight regret appeared on her face, and she said, "It's a pity, I don't have this opportunity." To ......"

Tong Yuan suddenly stopped halfway through her words and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I saw that Wang Yi's expression was suddenly solemn, and he hugged his fist at Tong Yuan and said, "The situation is dangerous, please gather the soldiers and horses quickly." ”

Tong Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked out of the city, and saw billowing yellow dust floating in the distance.

Unfamiliar with the situation, he asked, "Is this a sandstorm?" Do you need to organize people to deal with it quickly? ”

Zhang Lu and Xu Jian also quickly approached from more than a dozen steps away, and Xu Jian said to the outside of the city, "The wind in the past few days will definitely not be able to lift such yellow dust, depending on the situation, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of cavalry approaching." ”

At this moment, on the other side of the city, several horns suddenly sounded, and the sound was quite rapid and excited.

Zhang Lu said, "No! Not far from the south gate is where the county is located, so it is impossible for the enemy to attack. ”

Tong Yuan's heart was awe-inspiring, and he asked, "Are there any abnormalities in the people who have been in and out of the city these days?" ”

Xu Jian replied, "There is no problem, the number and personnel are the same." I'm in charge of the north gate. There is also a county lieutenant of the city on the south gate, so there will be no problem. ”

Wang Yi analyzed, "It seems that the situation is not good, either the enemy army is huge and has the confidence to break the city directly, or there are internal ghosts ......."

"Boom!"

With a dull explosion, a thick cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the south of the city. Obviously, there were people in the city who set fire to the city, and they wanted to break the city from the inside and outside.

Tong Yuan" ...... Zhang Lu, you lead your troops to stay in the north to prevent the enemy's attack. Xu Jian, you and I come, we will lead the more than 200 people around us to control the situation. ”

"Wang Yi, you go to find your father quickly, and let him, the members of the Shang Gang and the county officials strictly order everyone not to go out without an order, otherwise it will be regarded as collusion with thieves!"

"No!"

At this time, the situation was urgent, Tong Yuan didn't care about using respectful titles, and everyone understood the matter and immediately carried out the order.

The fire in the south of the city was not very fierce, but the smoke was billowing out, and it was difficult for everyone to get close.

Tong Yuan and Xu Jian found that the saboteurs were probably very well prepared. This time, the igniters were densely piled up in several houses in the south of the city, and oil was poured before the ignition was ignited, causing a dull explosion effect.

Because the fire is so strong, it is even more difficult to extinguish it directly. Tong Yuan could only send people to temporarily evacuate the surrounding people, while directing the soldiers to try their best to tear down the surrounding houses and destroy and remove all kinds of flammable materials.

A guard asked, "My lord, the fire is too big, do you want to mobilize the young people in the city to help extinguish the fire?" ”

Tong Yuan was anxious and said, "I'm afraid not!" Now that the people who are in trouble have not been cleared out, and there are still people attacking outside the city, let the people go to the streets to extinguish the fire, I am afraid that the situation will be more chaotic, and there will be more casualties. ”

The guard said, "But this fire is too fierce, if our soldiers put out the fire, I'm afraid the city will also be in danger." ”

Tong Yuan thought for a while and said, "You quickly go and find the head of the Wang family and Wang Yi and his party, let them and the people of the Shang Gang come over to extinguish the fire, let's go to support the city gate first." ”

"No!"

When Tong Yuan had just gathered the remaining fifty people and was about to support the south gate, several armed men suddenly appeared around, and they did not attack. Just yelled

"The gates are broken! The super army of horses has entered the city! Don't you surrender soon! ”

Tong Yuan knew that more than half of the Wang family and Ye family's family members around him were not soldiers who had followed him for a long time, and if he allowed the other party to disturb the morale of the army, he was afraid that the situation would be dangerous.

So he yelled: "General Tong of Pingbei is far away, here!" The thief Hugh is talking nonsense! ”

The thieves looked at each other, and one of the leaders shouted, "Tong Yuanxiu is going to be rampant!" Horses surpass tens of thousands of cavalry, and they can trample you into powder in an instant. ”

After saying that, the few of them turned around and ran.

Tong Yuan said angrily, "These people must be arsonists, and they must know." But do you think I'm going to be fooled by such tricks to turn the tiger off the mountain! Xu Jian, you quickly take thirty people to the south gate. As long as the gates are safe, nothing will happen! ”

"No!"

He thought to himself, isn't this another trick used by monsters in Journey to the West? When he first arrived two years ago, he saw through Li Zhen's strategy, and now he naturally won't be fooled.

In a house farther away, Wang Chen was also listening to the latest situation.

A person who looked like a trilogy asked, "Mr. Yang Chen! Did Ma Chao attack the city? ”

Wang Chen's thoughts were interrupted by him, and he replied with some irritation, "This is not something you should know!" ”

The trifector still didn't give up, and asked, "I still don't understand, since tens of thousands of troops have already arrived outside the city, and it is easy to take Xianqin County, why do we still take the risk of killing Tong Yuan?" ”

Wang Chen knew that the county lieutenant's subordinates were already a little restless, and if he didn't hurry, he might not be able to.

He said, "The most important thing now is to kill the child rebel in one fell swoop." You also know how high his prestige is, if you let him run away and call a helper from Sansuke, none of you will be able to escape! ”

That part had to be temporarily retreated. But the county lieutenant of Xianqin County on the side couldn't bear it.
