These four merchants, needless to say, are Feng Liang and others. On the same day, the four of them discussed, because Duochai was a Qiang person, and he did run with his family when he was young, so the four of them immediately decided to pretend to be a merchant, mainly Duochai, and went to Wudu County.

The four of them prepared their goods. In order to have no flaws, Duochai also deliberately collected a few felt blankets commonly used by the Qiang people in Xiangwu City, stacked them and stacked them in a conspicuous place to increase the sense of reality.

The four of them hurried all the way, and when they arrived in Xihe County, it was already the evening of the second day. Gao Yue only gave seven days, and the time was a little urgent, and the four of them had a brief discussion outside the city, and then they had to rush to Xiabi City, at least two days away, so that they could not rush back in seven days.

Therefore, with Xihe as the goal of this trip, excluding the two-day return trip, then there are about three days left to spy on the military situation, which should be more calm. This is the gateway to the lower debate, the northern important town of the Wudu people, and you can definitely explore something valuable.

The guards had no more doubts, and waved their hands to let them go. A soldier who looked like the leader, thought about it, walked over again, and began to inspect the load. He flipped left and right, picked up the bamboo burden and observed it in his hand, suddenly his face changed, he erected the bamboo burden, and knocked it to the ground, only to hear a few sounds, and from the end of the bamboo burden, two lancets with thin blades fell out!

The guards present changed their faces when they came, and all of them rushed over, surrounding the four of them in the middle, and in the hands of the guards, the cold light of the raised spears was cold, and it was terrifying.

The crowd of people who entered and exited the city gate avoided in horror when they saw that something was wrong. There was the timid woman, who screamed in fright, and ran away in a smoke, but did not go away, and probed her brain from a distance to see what was going on.

The leading soldier, with a gloomy face, snatched another bamboo splitter, and also slammed it the ground, and sure enough, two more lancets fell vertically to the ground.

"Grab them all!"

The leading soldiers roared, and the guards rushed up, firmly grasping the arms of Feng Liang and the four of them, twisting them behind them, and the steel knives were also between their necks.

Feng Liang and the four of them, all of them were resurrected, and it was difficult to move half a step, only to feel that the blood vessels in their bodies were about to burst. Zan Youdi stared at the pale eyes, turned his head desperately, and looked directly at Feng Liang, just waiting for Feng Liang to give an order, and then fought to the death.

Feng Liang was dizzy in his head, and he only said that he would die here today. Could it be that he planted a big heel as soon as he went out, not only did he live up to Gao Yue's trust, but also the prospect of leading the army to form an internal government alone would be stifled here, it was really unwilling!

Duochai screamed bitterly in his heart. These four knives are to carry the bamboo burden, drill one end into the air, and then carefully stuff the knife into it, stuff two of the burdens, and finally carefully paste the dug hole with mud. This is the suggestion that he made before the departure of the four people, just in case.

At extraordinary times, with a sword, he is definitely not an ordinary person. This is over, and the guard saw the flaw, and pushed everyone to the brink of death. Duochai was anxious and frightened, and couldn't help shouting: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, listen to our explanation!" ”

Qi Fuyan hoarsely shouted at the crowd of onlookers: "This is a robbery, these soldiers want to rob us!" As he shouted, many people showed puzzled looks, and their eyes looked at the guards a little strangely.

As the first soldier, he brushed it, put the scimitar in his hand, and stuck it on Qi Fuyan's cheek, and said fiercely: "Fart!" We, the heroes of the Di tribe, would we do such dirty things? You are obviously spies with bad intentions, but the Han people in the north sent you? If you want to talk nonsense again, I'll cut off your fingers one by one! ”

Qi Fuyan didn't make a sound, just pretended to be crazy and stupid, and let out some senseless strange screams in his mouth, just thinking about messing up the current situation.

Duochai's forehead was covered with sweat. His mind was spinning sharply, and he was racking his brains for words, when he suddenly heard Feng Liang shout: "The knife was originally deliberately hidden by us, what's wrong?" ”

He was startled, turned his head sharply, and saw Feng Liang's face was timid and frightened, and he kept blinking his eyes.

The soldier who was the leader gave up Qi Fuyan when he heard the words, walked in front of Feng Liang in two steps, squeezed out some gentle smiles, and said with a pleasant face: "Little brother, tell me honestly where you sent it and what you want to do." As long as you tell the truth, I'll let you go right away? ”

All eyes were focused on Feng Liang's face at once. Duochai sighed secretly in his heart, after all, Feng Liang was young, and he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand such a dangerous scene, in case he couldn't hold on to the leakage, the four of them had no way to go except for the word death.

Feng Liang trembled like chaff, stammered, and said, "This knife, yes, we deliberately hid it." There will be bandits, we go everywhere, walk, there is danger. ”

Duochai countered the emergency and immediately said: "A good friend of the Di clan." Why don't you believe in the Qiang brothers who came from afar? We crossed the mountains and traveled in all directions, and it was because we had been robbed by gangsters that I hired two companions, and in order to defend ourselves, I came up with this idea. ”

When the guards heard this, they were all stunned, but they believed it a little. In today's troubled times, if it is not a last resort, no one wants to run around for many years, rebels, bandits, thieves, etc., just like that, people can disappear into the world forever, and their families have nowhere to find their bodies.

Seeing that the guards were a little moved, Zan Youdi also struggled, "I was robbed by bandits once, we worked hard for a month, but we couldn't earn it back, so we had to bring a knife as a last resort, and we were brave, we were poor, what can we do to eat." ”

Twisting the dozen hands of four people, he hesitantly let go. Duochai simply put on some anger, panting and said: "We are full of wind and frost, and we are people begging for life at a glance, where are the spies!" Such suspicious and suspicious, treating me rudely, is this how the people of Qiu Chishan treat their distant brothers? ”

"Catch whom? My mother-in-law has long said that the sewing kit has run out, and she wants to buy thread, and it is rare for a merchant to come, so put it in quickly. ”

"To the Qiang brothers, don't ruin the reputation of our Di men!"

"Look at the faces of these four people, they are not merchants. Bring a knife, what's wrong, when you meet bandits, do you stand up for others? ”

There was an uproar in the crowd.

The Qiang and Di ethnic groups have been friends for generations. At this time, under the leadership of Yang Maosou, the Longnan Di people occupied Wudu, while the Qiang people were mainly scattered in Yinping County, Wudu and Yinping counties were neighboring counties, and the two ethnic groups were really close neighbors.

Now in front of the public, so many Di soldiers treated a smiling Qiang brother so roughly, and spread it, not to mention whether it would cause dissatisfaction among the Qiang people, I am afraid that Yang Maosou will also be very unhappy, and then severely punished.

The soldier at the head of the soldier carefully inspected the goods again, and saw that in addition to some daily necessities, there were also some embroidered felt blankets, which were indeed typical items of the Qiang people, and there were no suspicious objects beside them.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's that we misunderstood. Don't be surprised by the Qiang brothers. But just in case, give us your weapons for safekeeping, and when you have finished your trade and left the country, I will give them to you when you leave the city. Rest assured, in Xihe City, no one will bully you. ”

He spoke, and the rest of the soldiers no longer held their steel spears tightly. Seeing that Duochai was silent, looking angry, the first soldier came over and patted the Qiang people on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The brothers of the Qiang tribe are all broad-minded men, and we have no choice. The reason why the investigation has been so strict recently is mainly because I heard that the Han people in the north are coming to attack us, so the big leader ordered that all places should be strictly guarded. ”

"Alas. It's not too late for you to ask and then do it. You see that scared the hell out of our little brother. Duochai sighed and pointed at Feng Liang, who trembled even more.

Duochai instantly saw Feng Liang glancing at him, so he grabbed the head soldier, and deliberately complained again: "Brother Guancha, who said that the Han people are going to fight us?" If it's true, wouldn't this Xihe City be unstoppable, then I have to get out of here quickly, so I can't cause chaos for you? ”

Di Ren was really straightforward, and when he heard the words, he said: "How is it not true." That Sima Bao has long wanted to find our stubble. This time, I heard that the new Longxi Taishou, who was called Gao Yue, was going to bring troops to fight. ”

There was a soldier next to him, who leaned over and said in a rough voice: "We have the protection of Qiuchi Divine Mountain, no matter who he comes, he will be at a loss, and then go back obediently." ”

"That is, we don't bully people, and we can't let others step on our heads!" The rest of the guards were very encouraged, and they all catered to the Tao.

Duochai said again: "Xihe County is not big, how many soldiers can you have?" We do small business, just to seek stability. Don't be at that time, the city will be broken by others, and my business will be ruined, then half a year will be in vain. ”

The rough-voiced soldier said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, you can't attack him if you discipline him." We don't have many soldiers, the key is that we have a back hand to deal with the Han people, even if we come to 10,000 people, we can't cross our Xihe County, you can rest assured that you can do business. ”

The leader of the soldiers, intentionally or unintentionally, came up and interrupted his companion's words, "Okay, okay." Where is there time for small talk? Another group of people came from outside the city, and they hurried to investigate. Qiang brothers, go into the city at your own discretion. ”

"Oh, yes. Then our knives, you must take care of them carefully, don't lose them, it cost me a lot of money, and you must take it to heart. ”

The guards agreed one after another, and they all thought of being a merchant in small trade, and sure enough, they were all those who chased the small profits and regarded their property as extremely important. Duochai was helpless, and it was not good to be entangled anymore, so he beckoned to the three companions, picked up the goods, and walked into the city.
