In other words, all the medicinal materials in Simiao County are not hindered when they go out of the city gate, but if they want to be transported to Kyushu on the official road, they must be given to Wang Gu to pay an additional thirty percent of the purchase price of medicinal materials as the grain price!

On this Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Sun Qingping felt very bad, because he had also received news that the young master of Jingxuan in Huangzhou was preparing to go out of the city today with a batch of medicinal herbs, which were said to be of great value.

Of course, the important thing is not the value of the medicinal materials, but that these medicinal materials are the first batch of large medicinal materials from Simiao County after the destruction of the Red Scorpion Gang, and more importantly, this batch of medicinal materials is purchased from the sworn enemy of the Medicine King Valley, Shennongtang, and until now, the Medicine King Valley has not charged a penny of the price of grain.

According to the attitude of this Jingxuan Gongzi, he should not be prepared to pay the grain price to the Medicine King Valley for this medicinal material, and now the people guarding the medicinal material channel outside the city are all elite soldiers under the general's account, but these elite soldiers are not allowed to wear military uniforms, because in the Dian Kingdom, no county dares to increase the tax rate on medicinal materials without permission.

If ten days ago, Sun Qingping would not have heard of Jing Xuan at all, because it was too unimportant, if there was a beautiful woman in Simiao County, Sun Qingping might be more concerned.

But now it's different, and those who can raze the Red Scorpion Gang overnight will be noticed everywhere.

Sun Qingping arranged his lieutenant general to personally guard the stronghold outside the city, no matter what, he had to let that Jingxuan pay the grain price, otherwise, in the future, the Sun family would completely lose the ability to control the business in Simiao County!

At the same time, in the county town, Sun Qingping also settled the informant, and kept an eye on when the dart cart of the dart bureau would leave the city.

Seeing that the sun was about to set on the mountain, Sun Qingping's heart gradually settled down, according to the rules of Simiao County, every day the sun sets, the city gate will be closed, thinking that Jingxuan is a big courage, should not dare to break into the city gate defenders, as long as the city gate is closed, no goods will be allowed to enter or leave at that time!

……

The Chinese New Year's Eve in Siqiao County was not affected in the slightest by the bloody case of the Red Scorpion Gang a few days ago, and the people and merchants were still drinking and firing guns behind closed doors in their houses, preparing to celebrate the New Year.

Jing Yuan was no exception, Xuan Jing asked all the servants in the house to get together, and prepared thick red envelopes for the servants to distribute one by one.

But in the entire Jingyuan, only Ziyue had the idea, and Hu Feng and Bai Lie, who were supposed to accompany Gongzi to keep the New Year together, were not there.

In fact, almost all of the servants of this Jingyuan, except for Ziyue, were given by the lord of Pingyang County, and everyone really stayed in Jingyuan, but it was only two days, and many servants did not even recognize the people of Jingyuan, and as for the Chinese New Year's Eve, there were one or two less, and no one paid attention at all.

And what Ziyue didn't know was that at this time, a black vulture was hovering in the sky above Simiao County, and above the vulture, naturally sat the super master, Xi.

Xi held his silver void bow in his hand at this time, sitting on a vulture and looking down on the entire Simiao County, Sun Qingping's every move in the General's Mansion was clearly seen by her, in fact, all day today, Xi has not stopped monitoring the General's Mansion.

Several spies sent out by Sun Qingping to monitor the dart bureau had already been shot and killed by Xi, so Sun Qingping didn't know until now that Xuanjing's medicinal convoy had already left Simiao County, and now he was hiding in a secret place outside the city, waiting for Hu Feng's Futu Iron Cavalry to come and escort him through the pass.

Hu Feng's people, on the other hand, relied on the relationship of the county lord of Pingyang earlier, and unconsciously turned into pieces, and went out of the city one by one, and now the last group of ten iron horsemen has left the city, and they are waiting to meet Hu Feng's large army, and they are ready to launch a strong attack on the officers and soldiers guarding the official road crossing twenty miles away.

Speaking of the official road of Kyushu, it is necessary to start with the feudal dynasty of the previous dynasty, after the feudal dynasty unified Kyushu, the world was divided into various meritorious vassal states, but the emperor of the feudal dynasty at that time felt that such a Kyushu had no way to manage it, so that his envoys could quickly arrive at the various vassal states.

The emperor began to overhaul the official road in Kyushu, the standard system of the official road of the Feng Dynasty is 11 zhang wide, divided into two sides of the opposite direction of the car, each side can accommodate four four-car gallops at the same time, the final Feng Dynasty generation of 800 years, almost has been in the process of building the official road.

So even now that Kyushu is divided, most of what everyone has been using is still the official road of the feudal dynasty.

The official road connects the cities of the Kyushu countries, such as the county of Simiao, after leaving the city, you only need to walk twenty miles to reach the entrance of the official road, and the checkpoint that Yaowang Valley has always arranged to collect the price of medicinal herbs is also at the entrance of this official road.

Ordinary medicinal herb merchants, no matter which gate of Simiao County goes out of the city, and finally wants to transport medicinal materials to Kyushu countries, they have to go to this official road, so they only need to send people to guard this checkpoint, first, when the inspection envoy of the royal court of Dian comes to check, there is no additional charge at the city gate, and second, because it is the only way to transport medicinal materials, so no medicinal materials can escape the collection of grain prices.

Although today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is said that no medicinal herb merchants will choose to go out of the city today, but because of the military order of the great general Sun Qingping, the officers and soldiers stationed at Guandaokou have increased unabated compared with usual, and even General Lan Xiao, the deputy general of the General's Mansion, also led another 200 soldiers from Sun Qingping's Mansion to personally stationed here.

"Lao He, you said that we are all soldiers of the county, and we are holding the money of the soldiers and horses of the county, but we are doing this kind of robber work here, how can we be worthy of the people and merchants in the city?" A young officer, who was still a little immature, was drinking in the rest room of the outpost and complaining to an older officer beside him.

"Alas! This is not what the general meant, don't complain, be careful of being listened to by others, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around! The officer named Lao He sighed.

"Lao He, we are all soldiers of Simiao County, my father is also in the city to do the medicinal materials business, originally this medicinal materials to levy the price of grain, it is unreasonable, in the past, it was still those people from the Red Scorpion Gang to do it, although we are not angry, but after all, we are out of sight and out of mind, now we are dignified county soldiers, actually come to do this kind of hurtful thing, are we the soldiers of Simiao County, or the family of the Medicine King Valley!" The young officer slammed his fist on the table, and the soju in the wine glass splashed, splashing his face with the drink.

"Xiao Ding! Say a few words, in this world, people with a conscience all die early, don't you remember the old world? When Lao He said this, his voice was already inaudible.

Xiao Ding became interested, "Lao He, tell me, what happened to the old man back then, why did he get a sudden illness and die overnight?" ”

Lao He heard Xiao Ding ask like this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't know, don't ask me!" ”

Xiao Ding still didn't give up, and continued to ask endlessly, although Lao He drank a lot of wine, he just didn't say a word.

Suddenly, the wine glasses and dishes on the table began to vibrate, Lao He was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't make a sound, what are you listening to?" ”

Xiao Ding was also a little sober at this time, "This is?" Could it be an earthquake? ”

"That's not right!" Lao He said: "It's not good! There are enemies, it's the movement of heavy cavalry charges! ”

Lao He is worthy of being an old soldier, although he was already half drunk after drinking in the camp, but in a moment, he had already judged that the enemy was coming.

Lao He reacted almost subconsciously, pulled down the horn horn on his waist and sounded the warning!

"Toot ......" long and loud horn sounded in the entire sentry barracks, at this time there were almost three hundred sergeants stationed in the camp, all of them were soldiers sent by the general, although everyone had the task of garrisoning, but first, it was Chinese New Year's Eve today, and secondly, after nightfall, the gate of Simiao County was closed, and it was impossible for any medicinal vehicles to enter and exit, so the deputy general Lan Xiao, who was in charge of garrisoning, ordered that except for a few sergeants standing guard, the rest of the people were basically drinking and eating meat in the camp tent.

But who would have thought that at this juncture, there would be an enemy attacking, and it was a heavy cavalry that had been extinct in Kyushu for many years!

Hu Feng led a hundred Futu iron horsemen at this time, and had successfully attacked and killed three sentry posts, relying on the majestic foot strength of the Huangzhou sweat and blood horse, in a few breaths, he broke into the front of the sentry post, although Lao He blew the horn of attack, but it was too late.

The deputy general Lan Xiao organized his own soldiers to put on armor and go into battle, but as soon as Lan Xiao came out of the barracks and saw Hu Feng's Futu Iron Cavalry, his heart was already extremely cold!

What kind of enemy is this, covered in black iron armor, including the face and face armor, each cavalryman sits on a tall war horse, and the entire war horse is wrapped in steel horse armor, and there is no flaw in the man and horse. The chest of each war horse is as wide as a door panel, a whole head taller than the average horse in Kyushu, Lan Xiao even feels that these war horses in iron armor are monsters rushing in the wilderness, as long as they are willing, they can crush the enemy's head at any time!

"Bow and arrow! Shoot all your arrows! Lan Xiao hurriedly ordered, the archers hid behind the wooden barricade, and everyone fired a volley, and a rain of arrows shot towards the enemy.

Not a single enemy was shot off the horse! Bows and arrows could not even leave the slightest trace on the armor of these cavalrymen, they were not ordinary cavalrymen, they were steel castles driven by war horses, and the crossbow arrows of ordinary sergeants had no effect on them at all.

In less than ten breaths, the black Futu Iron Cavalry had already rushed into the outpost, and the heavy cavalry did not form a dense formation of a charge, because there was no need, there were no weapons and people that could inflict damage on them, they were the emperors of the land of Kyushu, and when they came to the battlefield, the enemy was like wheat stalks in autumn, waiting to be harvested!
