Chapter 3: Self-Casting into the Net
The smile of the leader of Hu Shang was a little stiff, and at this moment, Li Changguo smiled: "Hehe! I'm laughing, look at what scares you. β
The smile on the face of the leader of Hu Shang naturally increased, and the three guards behind him let go of the hand that was pressed on the hilt of the knife.
Li Changguo groaned slightly, lowered his voice, and said, "According to military law, you are not allowed to enter the fort. However, you are so tired, we can't just watch you suffer. You know, I'm going to have to ventilate our fire, don't I? β
Although it was not explicitly stated, the meaning was very clear, that is, if you want the fire chief to agree, you will naturally have to give benefits. The leader of Hu Shang understood, and hurriedly took out a piece of ten taels of silver, stuffed it in Li Changguo's hand, and said with a warm smile: "Please pass it on to the general!" There is a lot of thanks afterwards. β
"There shouldn't be a problem, you just wait, I'll pass it on." Li Changguo threw the silver in his hand, smiled, patted the leader of Hu Shang on the shoulder affectionately, turned around and glanced at Fei Lei and them, and walked towards the fort.
The leader of Hu Shang looked at Li Changguo's back and smiled disdainfully, and pulled the corners of his mouth. He didn't see it, as soon as Li Changguo turned around, the kind smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a cold and murderous aura.
Fei Lei and the others walked up and smiled affectionately at the leader of the Hu merchants: "You can rest assured, it is our duty to help you past merchants." Look at your tired look, haven't you rested? β
"Yes, yes, yes!" The smile on the face of the leader of Hu Shang was particularly sincere, and he nodded vigorously, and said: "In order to hurry, we haven't had a good rest for three days, and we are really tired, if we can sleep well, then we will be grateful." β
"No problem!" Fei Lei patted his chest and reassured, and then changed his words, quite embarrassed: "It stands to reason that your request is reasonable, but, as you know, this is against military regulations......" looked at the leader of Hu Shang, his eyes were full of greed.
The corners of Hu Shang's mouth cracked slightly, and he pretended to be nonsense: "Master Jun, please rest assured, I won't make it difficult for you." β
"If there is a ...... That's a lot easier! Fei Lei rubbed his fingers, the meaning could not be clearer, he wanted the leader of Hu Shang to give the silver.
The leader of Hu Shang groaned slightly, gritted his teeth, took out a piece of gold, stuffed it into Fei Lei's hand, and said with a smile: "A little wine money is not a tribute, please smile." β
"Pure gold!" FerrΓ© was overjoyed, and his eyes fell on the gold and could not be taken away, looking greedy.
"You are so bold that you dare to violate military regulations and extort past merchants, I will punish you for your crimes!" Li Changguo strode over, his face was sinking like water, and he scolded Fei Lei and them, and his tone was stern, which was extremely unkind.
Regardless of Fei Lei's reaction, Li Changguo snatched the gold, put it in his hand, put it in his arms, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said to the leader of Hu Shang: "We have a good heart and a good heart, and we want you to enter the castle to rest." β
"Master Xie! Xie Junye! The officers and soldiers of Datang are good, sympathetic to our hard-working merchants! The leader of Hu Shang glanced at the guards and men behind him, and followed Li Changguo.
Li Changguo had a very loud voice, and roared at Fei Lei: "You come along, I want to talk to you about military regulations." β
Fei Lei and the others had a bitter face, a trembling look, and followed behind Hu Shang.
The fire chief Kant smiled and greeted him in front of the castle gate, greeted him with a smile, and said, "You are so polite! You want to find a place to rest and just say it, how can we not want to? What kind of silver to give? β
Saying that he was embarrassed, he looked at the leader of Hu Shang, wishing that he would send some more silver, who would think that there was too much silver?
"I've seen the fire chief!" The leader of Hu Shang greeted Kant politely, and said in his half-baked Chinese: "Master Huo, you are too polite, we are just here to rest, how dare you work your master." β
"Please!" Kant invited him sideways, as if the leader of the Hu merchants were guests, courteous and thoughtful, and enthusiastic.
There is a way to take people short and eat people softly, which really makes sense.
"Please!" The leader of the Hu Shang was also polite, and entered the fort with Kant.
Hu Shang's guards and his men, accompanied by Li Changguo and others, entered the fort together. As soon as he entered the fort, Ferrey closed the fort door and stood behind the fort gate with Liu Hao to guard.
The garrisons in the fort were dressed in armor and held horizontal swords, surrounded the Hu merchants, and waited for them as if they were facing a great enemy.
"You, you're trying to kill for money?" The face of the leader of Hu Shang changed greatly, and he accused loudly: "We want to complain to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. β
"Little Bolu, if I'm not mistaken, you're planning to sneak into the fort and catch us off guard, aren't you?" Kant stared at the leader of the Hu Shang with a smirk.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a serious businessman, and I would never do such a thing. Hu Shang was busy arguing, and the three guards and his subordinates were about to draw their swords, but they put the swords on their necks for the guards, and they didn't dare to move in the slightest.
"Really?" Kant looked playful and said contemptuously: "Little Bolu, you are still hard-mouthed!" You think you're doing it perfectly, but you're showing flaws everywhere. Li Shichang, it was you who found the flaws, you teach them how to lie. β
Li Changguo nodded, took a step forward, looked at the leader of Hu Shang, and said with a smile: "Do you know how many flaws you have?" You have too many flaws. β
Speaking of this, Li Changguo paused slightly, shook his head, and said, "A real merchant will not think about entering the fort, at most he will replenish some water. Although you didn't say it explicitly, your meaning couldn't be clearer, you want to enter the fort, I suspect that you have other plans, yes, I suddenly revealed that you are little Bolu, and the fierce light in the eyes of your guards flashed, although the time was very short, but they could not hide from my eyes. β
"If that's all there is, I'm just skeptical. I deliberately asked you for silver, and as soon as you made a move, it was ten taels, let me ask, is ten taels of silver a small amount? Serious businessmen give some broken silver at most, even our Datang caravan also gives some loose silver, only people with ulterior motives think that wealth is moving, and think that giving some silver can make us fooled. β
"I went into the castle and reported to the chief of fire, that they would continue to test you, and you had taken out all the gold. The Silk Road is very profitable, but how many taels of gold can you earn in a year and a half? This is tantamount to telling us that you have other plans. β
Kant took over and said, "One more thing, you walk vigorously and with a lot of scale, and only those who have been trained to do so can walk like that. We were born in the army, so we are too familiar with this scale to be easily recognized. As soon as Li Shichang saw you coming, he became suspicious, and then he tried to show more and more of their flaws. β
"Useless stuff!"
The three guards roared at the leader of the Hu Shang: "If you want you to act, you are so useless!" What's the use of ruining the big thing in Tibet? β
One of the guards was about to draw his knife and slash the leader of Hu Shang, Li Changguo pinched his neck and lifted him up like a chicken, kicked over a guard with his left foot, and then punched out, and another guard fell to the ground.
Li Changguo's shot was like electricity, his fist was like the wind, and his legs were as heavy as a mountain, and the three guards let Li Changguo go before he could react.
Kant and the others were not idle, and soon dealt with a group of his subordinates, and the two dozen or so little Bolu people became prisoners.
