Chapter 613: A Different Blackwater City (2)

Song Yi, Jiang Geng, and Zhang De disguised themselves as businessmen and entered Blackwater City.

Unlike Youzhou City, which is tight outside and loose inside, Blackwater City is very nervous both inside and outside.

At the gate of the city, Song Yi and others were carefully interrogated by the soldiers guarding the city, if Zhang De was not well versed in this and bought the soldiers with silver, Song Yi and others might not have been able to enter the city.

"What's going on? Was Blackwater City so difficult to get into in the past? ”

I have the impression that eight years ago, when I entered Blackwater City, it was not so strict.

Although the two countries are at war, Blackwater City is the hinterland of the Jurchens, how can it be so tense? Could it be ......

"It can't be that the Jurchens discovered the whereabouts of the prince," Zhang De was startled, and his voice unconsciously rose.

"Shhhh

Song Yi knew that Jiang Geng had a lot of experience in lurking. Naturally, he didn't object to Jiang Geng's words, nodded his head, and let Jiang Geng lead the team forward.

Jiang Geng is now dressed up as a middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and black hair on his face, a burly physique, and a little difficult to mess with.

And Zhang De himself has already injured his body because of his perennial illness in the past and needs medicine to continue his life. Standing with Jiang Geng, he looked very thin.

However, one strong and one thin, and taking a woman on the road, is safer, and will only make people think of a couple and a bodyguard.

Song Yi sat in the carriage, Jiang Geng drove the carriage, and Zhang De sat outside the carriage, pulling the goods behind.

found an inn casually, and Song Yi and the others stayed.

Song Yi carefully observed all the way, there were still many pedestrians on the street, but it was difficult to see the people of the Qianchao.

The merchants of the Qianzhao Dynasty who occasionally met were also cautious and looked very nervous.

Song Yi understands that when the two countries go to war, those who still insist on doing business are doing business with their heads and belts and risking their lives at any time.

While the rewards are substantial, they also have to be extra cautious.

Therefore, the people of the Qian Dynasty in Blackwater City were very low-key and tried not to conflict with the Jurchens. Sometimes, even if they encounter Jurchens who deliberately find fault, the people of the Qianchao in Heishui City would rather spend money to avoid disasters and seek peace.

Although it was only a journey from the city gate to the inn, Song Yi could see the current tense atmosphere in Blackwater City from the expressions on the faces of the passing merchants.

What's more, the soldiers who can be seen everywhere on the streets, obviously, are searching for someone.

Song Yi looked at the soldiers on the street from the window facing the inn, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

"Where's Jiang Geng?" Song Yi asked when he saw Zhang De.

"Mr. Jiang said he would go out and come back before dinner," Mr. Zhang said.

Song Yi knew that Jiang Geng was going to contact him in Heishui City to find out the news of the true king.

I know that Blackwater City has become different from the Blackwater City in the past. Song Yi didn't go out again, and waited for Jiang Geng's news in the inn with peace of mind.

On the other side, in the City Lord's Mansion, Hei Yin, the City Lord of Blackwater City, was reporting to a person.

"General, according to your orders, I have already let the people into the city"

"Okay, then we'll keep an eye on her. Let's find the person we're looking for."

"Obedience"

I don't know who can make the city lord of Blackwater City so respectful.

And who are they talking about?

It wasn't until late that Song Yi finally waited for Jiang Geng.

"How?" Song Yi saw Jiang Geng coming back, and immediately asked.

Jiang Geng knew that the princess was very anxious, so after contacting his people, he immediately returned.

"Princess, I've already got in touch with our people. They were sure that ten days ago, it was Xiao Hei who left a message at the contact point. But these days, they haven't waited for the prince to show up."

"Could it be, it is the whereabouts of the prince that have been discovered by the Jurchens. That's why there are so many soldiers on the streets today. I found out that they had been checking the Qianchao people on the street."

"Maybe ......"

"Knock knock" Just as Song Yi and the others were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Jiang Geng and Zhang Dehu were in front of Song Yi and asked the people outside the door.

"Guest officer, the officers and soldiers have come to check the room" It turned out that the shopkeeper came to inform him that the officers and soldiers had come to check the room again.

Since Song Yi and the others moved in, today is already the second wave of officers and soldiers.

Last time I came, Jiang Geng was not there, and Zhang De casually found an excuse to prevaricate. Song Yi also thought that he had deceived the Jurchens, and it seemed that the Jurchens were not so easy to deceive. If they don't see Jiang Geng, they will definitely not give up.

This also shows from the side how high the defense level of Blackwater City is now.

"Good"

"Princess, it's the officers and soldiers who are rounding the room," Jiang Geng said.

"Well, let them check" Song Yi nodded, and there was no other reaction.

As the door opened, Xiao Er came in with a group of soldiers.

The Jurchen soldiers were all dressed in steppe costumes and holding weapons in their hands, and at first glance they were not fools.

"Are you from the Qianchao?" The leading soldier, who was obviously the small leader of this group of people, looked at Song Yi and their customs clearance documents, and asked a Qianchao word.

Song Yi and the others didn't expect that some of these soldiers could speak Qianchao.

Zhang De hurriedly said, "Yes, official, I didn't expect the official to speak Qianchao?" ”

"Oh, it will be some, learn from the merchants of the Qianchao" The leader of the Jurchen soldiers was obviously reluctant to say more, and only explained briefly.

"Official, you are so smart, and you are really authentic when you speak Qianchao" Zhang De thought that thousands of people would not wear sycophants, so he patted his sycophants.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, just tell us, just what you are doing here, don't say anything else" But apparently these Jurchen soldiers no longer buy Zhang De's set. After all, now that the two countries are at war, it is possible that each of them is a fine work sent by the other party. If you don't investigate carefully, in addition to things, these people will not be able to get out of the way in the future.

Seeing that the other party didn't buy it, Zhang De immediately replied, "We are in the fur business." This is my wife, and this is my bodyguard. I heard that the furs here are easy to sell, so we collected some mountain goods in the territory of the Qianchao and came to Heishui City to try our luck and see if we could learn from others to earn a little money."

Zhang De repeated the rhetoric prepared in advance.

"Doing business?" Obviously, the leader did not believe Zhang De's statement: "Don't you know that the two countries are now at war." There are only three of you who can get here safely? I don't think you're angry, are you? ”

"What do you mean?" Song Yizheng was in a state of confusion because he didn't hear the news of the true king, and when he saw that the Jurchen soldiers were asking some questions about what they didn't have, he couldn't help but retort.

"What do I mean?" The leader and the others laughed, "The two countries are at war, but you say you are in business?" Who is in a hurry and still takes his wife out to do business? Do you still say that you are not spies? ”

As soon as Song Yi heard the other party's words, he knew that the other party intended to make things difficult. Despite the war, few husbands and wives went on the road together to do business. But that doesn't mean there isn't. The other party insisted that Song Yi and the others were spies of the enemy country, and it seemed that they had another purpose.
