In the spring, Guo Yang's layout was finally completed, and it was time to get started.

Nanyan King City holds an annual spring festival, and small merchants and vendors from all over the country have come to this dilapidated old city, setting up stalls, putting goods into those shops, collecting accounts, and thinking of making a windfall, so that this spring is extraordinarily lively.

The wildflowers in King City of Nanyan seemed to bloom overnight, spitting out all kinds of rich aromas, mixed with the smell of sweat and cattle brought by those vendors, making people drowsy.

A patrol of the Southern Yan Kingdom was dispatched, and in addition to leviing heavy taxes on those vendors, their main duty was to maintain order.

There were so many people that the whole city was a bit chaotic, especially in the neighborhoods where the vendors were concentrated, and from time to time there were rumors of people being robbed, someone having their ears cut off, and a female trader who was so humiliated that she jumped up and broke the neck of a street thug.

All the shops in the city were alive and well, and after a long winter, everyone was about to get sick.

The most lively are the liquor shops and shochu shops. Nanyan's Baihua liquor was sold at a high price outside, and many traders drove mule carts to carry out a jar of fragrant liquor and sell it to distant places, making huge profits from it.

Of course, the vast majority of the profits were paid to the royal families of those vassal states and the Zhou people.

Guo Yang and Yanzi, who were disguised as men, mingled in the crowd, inquiring about prices from time to time, and squatting down to bargain with the small traders.

He was a little sad to find that under this false prosperity, the life of the merchants was actually very difficult, and most of them were poor, even if they were running around day and night on the way to buy and sell, they still only had enough to eat.

Even, if you are unlucky and encounter war or bandits, you may even give the life of a dog to this bastard world.

At noon, the spring sun is enchanting, the crowd is bustling, and from a distance, it is unkempt and black.

Guo Yang was a little tired, so he folded into a small wine shop.

The boss was a thin, hunchbacked old man with some back ears, and a little woman sat at the back of the counter, her lower abdomen slightly protruding, and her round face was full of happiness.

Guo Yang asked for a jar of wine, two plates of salt beans, and a plate of cooked mutton, and the two of them sat down by the window, eating and drinking slowly, and no one spoke.

Yanzi was a little nervous, today was a good day to do big things, but Guo Yang seemed to be a nobody, leading her to walk around and take a look, a little absent-minded.

Now that he has come to this dirty little wine shop to drink, Yanzi looked at Guo Yang who was slow and reasonable, and only felt itchy teeth.

With the sound of "bang", the half-open door panel of the wine store was suddenly stepped on, and several men in black clothes rushed in.

"Song Huozi, are there any idle people waiting for you in your store these days?" A grim-faced man asked in a deep voice.

The old man didn't hear it, and was still wiping the table with his head hooked, and the little woman behind the counter panicked, and quickly got up and said with a smile: "A few masters, the business of the wine shop is light, and it is rare for guests to come, where are there idle people." ”

The man glanced around, walked straight to Guo Yang and Yanzi's table, and stretched out his big hand: "Household registration documents? ”

The swallow hooked his head to drink, but Guo Yang took out two pieces of cloth from his arms with a smile and handed them over.

"Guo Yang, Guo belly?" The man muttered in a low voice, examined Guo Yang and Yanzi again, and suddenly asked, "Since you are a mother-in-law, why are you pretending to be a man?" Is there something shady about it? ”

Yanzi was just about to get up, but Guo Yang reached out and pressed her, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the world not peaceful, a woman goes out, and it is inconvenient, so I ...... it."

"Take it away!" Before Guo Yang's words could be finished, the man waved his hand impatiently, and three or four men in black pounced on him, and directly tied Guo Yang and Yanzi with a rope.

Yanzi's face was cold, and she was about to make a move, but she saw Guo Yang winking at her, and shouted with an exaggerated expression: "Wronged, uncle, we are really good people!" ”

The man had a cold face, raised his leg is a kick, stepped on a yellow mud footprint on Guo Yang's body, and said with a scolding in his mouth: "The ghost is crying wolf, at first glance, it is Diao Min, take it away!" ”

Guo Yang and Yanzi were tied by ropes, pulled and pulled and walked into the distance.

On the way, they found that there were hundreds of people like them who were tied by ropes, all of them were unkempt small businessmen, and even some women were also tied by the ropes of those men in black.

After turning a few yellow mud streets, they were concentrated. A man in black with a shrill voice commanded, and tied Guo Yang and the others to a rope, and ropes were also put on their feet, so that they could not take a big step to prevent anyone from escaping.

Yanzi was a little panicked, she hated Guo Yang for not telling her the plan, which made her worry all the time. However, looking at Guo Yang, who was there loudly reasoning with the people in black, Yanzi was a little stunned, and felt that this little fox must be plotting something.

They were dragged to a very dilapidated neighborhood, full of rubble and ruins, and the low growling of mastiffs could be faintly heard.

Guo Yang knew that this was to Mouse Alley.

In front of the two dilapidated doors, several high-pitched eunuchs examined them one by one, searched for any excess of their belongings, and threw them aside to form a hill.

Not to mention, among these people, there are really those who bring blades, there are bronze swords, cooked copper chain hammers, and copper-lead alloy shuttle darts. Of course, there are more of them all kinds of small commodities that are trafficked from afar.

"It seems that there are quite a few small works captured this time. I was put in, tortured, and once the charges were confirmed, they were dragged out for the mastiffs to gnaw. A powerful-looking eunuch said loudly.

For a while, the hundreds of people shouted loudly, crying and crying, and some even sat on the ground and sprinkled, tears and snot covered half of their faces.

"Bring it in!" The eunuchs waved their hands in annoyance, and the men in black pulled the ropes and pulled them all into the courtyard, and one by one into the round hole in the big willow tree.

Yanzi followed behind Guo Yang, watching him bark like a wounded dog, looking reluctant, he was so angry that he really wanted to knock him over with a punch. She has always been arrogant, and even when she is in danger, she is not willing to bow her head.

However, the matter has come to this point, and she can only pinch her nose and admit it, taking one step at a time.

The Bailai people entered the rat-hole-like corridor and stepped on the wet and slippery bluestone steps, all of them crying and screaming, and even clashed with the black-clothed men who escorted them.

"Silence! Otherwise, summarily! A man in black roared loudly, his voice was loud, and everyone was immediately silenced.

"Don't worry, we will ask you a few words after you go in, and if there is really no problem, we will naturally let you out." The man in black added.

The people were quiet, and followed the man in black silently in the corridor, and after more than half an hour, they came to a heavy stone gate.

The stone gate can only be opened from the inside, and at first glance it is an important place to defend against foreign invasions.

There was a rumbling sound, and the stone gate was opened, and Guo Yang and the others were pulled into the stone gate and entered a large passage.

In the main passage, there are more than 100 armor-clad halberd warriors lined up in two columns, which is very majestic, and it seems that it should be the garrison that guards this place all year round.

There are many small holes in the stone walls on both sides of the big passage, which should be a secret whistle or lookout, and more people are inevitably ambushed inside.

"You just wait here, and I'll report first. Where is General Sima? A man in black said loudly.

"The last general has seen the high leader." A burly samurai stepped out of the ranks slowly, clenched his fists and said.

"These people are all detailed works that the boss has confessed to capture, put them here to take care of them first, and I'll report them first, and see how to deal with these dogs." The man in black hugged his fists, turned and left.

"Come on, take them down, lock them up first." The Sima general seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to disobey the order of the man in black.

Suddenly, more than a dozen warriors walked by, took the rope from the hands of those black-clothed people, and pulled Guo Yang and the others into an extremely wide stone room.

"Squat down, don't talk to each other!" A samurai drew his whip and with a sound of his horn, a trail of blood was drawn on a man's face, and blood flowed down his face.

Guo Yang and the others immediately fell silent and squatted down obediently.

Yanzi has been following Guo Yang closely, squatting together at the moment, watching those warriors go out, and just wanted to speak, but Guo Yang gave her a look and told her to shut up.

The swallow squatted next to it angrily, drawing circles on the ground with his fingers in boredom.

……

"Get up, and the people from above have given you a message, and I will detain you here first, and then come back in a few days for questioning. You'd better be honest, and whoever dares to take the lead in making trouble will let your dog's head move! Suddenly, the man in black named Gao Leader returned, announced a few words loudly, turned around and left.

Guo Yang and the other hundred people all looked at each other, but no one spoke.

After another two hours, it was estimated that it was time for dinner, and several samurai came in with several large buckets of food.

One bowl per person, no more.

The swallow stretched his neck and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel nauseous, where is this food for people, and it is estimated that it is not good dog food to feed the dog!

But the other people, including Guo Yang, nodded and walked over quickly, took the bowl of rice, and devoured it, until the swallow's throat itched, and almost squirted.

"Stinky Guo Yang, I gave you a table of good dishes, and I had a sad face when I ate it, and now I see this dog food and eat it with relish!" Yanzi didn't go to serve the bowl, but squatted behind Guo Yang, gritting his teeth and scolding Guo Yang.

"Brother, spare another bowl, I eat a lot, and I'm hungry when I swallow this bowl." Suddenly, a young man with a masked head stood up, dragged a long rope, and said with a smile on his face.

"There's a fart! Get lost! One of the samurai scolded impatiently.

"Brother, just spare half a bowl, I see that there are still some rice residues at the bottom of the bucket." The young man nodded and walked over to the warriors, holding out the clay bowl in his hand.

"Damn, you're looking for death!" A samurai brushed the floor with a whip and whipped it at the young man's head and face.

The young man "ouch", ran into the crowd with his head in his arms, turned around and said with a hippie smile: "If you don't spare it, you won't spare it, isn't it just some dog food, bring it back to you and eat it." ”

Enraged, the warriors threw down the barrels and burrowed into the crowd to capture the young man.

The young man, like a rabbit, hid in the crowd.

"Brother, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas." A big bearded man stood up with a smile and hugged a samurai in his arms.

"Get out of here!" The warrior roared and drew his blade.

"Brother, your neck is so tender, and your temper is quite big." The bearded man said with a smile, and as soon as his arms were strengthened, the samurai exhaled a long breath, and the bones in his body "crackled" for a burst of incense, and he didn't know how many were broken, and his neck was weak, and he was actually killed alive.

At the same time, a few more people jumped up and killed the samurai, either breaking their necks or strangling their necks with ropes, and those majestic-looking samurai were like papier-mâché under these hands.

Guo Yang looked at it with a smile, his face calm and gentle.

"Master!" There were seven or eight young people with unkempt hair, took out knives, cut the ropes on everyone's bodies, ran quickly to Guo Yang, knelt on one knee, and said in a hissing voice, clear tears welling up in their eyes.

"Go ahead." Guo Yang said with a smile, his eyes were also a little moist.

The seven or eight people stood up, clenched their fists, and walked towards the door, while the other hundred or so people followed silently.
