Unbeknownst to the three forces in front, the messengers to the rear had been wiped out, and after a short period of waiting and resting, they began their tea hunt again.

The reason why Tongmuguan is famous all over the world, in addition to the dangerous terrain, is that the treasure of Tongmuguan black tea is hidden between the mountains here.

Tongmuguan black tea is famous Zhengshan red, is a very rare and precious black tea, the reason why this Zhengshan red is precious, is because the whole process of making this tea is handmade by the tea master, and at the same time, this tea is very consumed in the production process, every two tea leaves need thousands of tea buds to be made.

The original leaves of their tea are all fresh tea buds of wild varieties in the mountains, and then go through a series of complex processing steps such as withering, shaking, fermentation, and rolling. At the same time, the tea farmers who stayed in Tongmuguan abided by the ancestral teachings and did not leave the pass half a step, and the production process was never passed on, and the black tea produced has always been the best product.

Every year, a large number of tea merchants spend a lot of time to go around the mountain road to Tongmu Pass for profit, five years ago the Zhou family was wiped out overnight, and Zhengshan Red this kind of tea is the first to recommend Tongmu Pass today.

At the same time, the tea farmers who stayed in Tongmuguan abided by the ancestral teachings and did not leave the pass half a step, and the production process was never passed on, and the black tea produced has always been the best product.

Jin Junmei, who used to be the Wufu Zhou family, declared that he had pressed them outside, otherwise Tongmuguan would also have the strength to challenge the distribution center of Wufu.

After the Zhou family fell, the technology of tea seemed to have been lost, so now a large number of tea merchants are willing to take a detour to Tongmu Pass for profit, giving up entering Wufu to find tea.

And Su Canghai's purpose is to directly wrap the top tea master before so many people, so that you can get the best Zhengshan red this year!

It is only half a day's journey from the place where the monument is erected to the pass of Tongmu Pass, and the three forces are hurrying up, and finally arrive at this place before dusk, which can vaguely see the style of Xiongguan in those years.

However, when Su Canghai came to the city, the city gate was already slowly closing, and at this time, there were also two people on the other two roads approaching quickly.

Seeing so many people approaching, the city guard who was originally closing the city gate silently stopped his movements, and then he shouted: "Who is under the city? But going into the city? ”

"Exactly, please open the door first." Su Canghai raised his voice and said, "There are at least 100 people here, and it will take a long time to walk through such a small gap." ”

The city guard smiled bitterly: "You also saw that there is only one person, why don't you go in slowly?" I'll just take you a little less. ”

Ren Zongheng frowned when he heard this: "According to the law of the Holy Dynasty, the city guard must be two people in one post, you don't follow the rules like this, right?" ”

The city guard in the city smiled bitterly: "Lao Li's mother is suddenly ill, I can't help but let him go home to fulfill his filial piety, and this is also an emergency, don't blame the officials." ”

The few people in the city who said this were speechless, after all, Baishan and filial piety come first, they really couldn't say such a thing as not letting the other party go home to see the old mother in the hospital, otherwise the doctors of Yushitai will probably be busy tomorrow.

Now the width left by the city gate is not narrow, and it can accommodate three horsemen to pass through easily, but neither side is willing to let the other enter the city first.

Therefore, when the three of them looked at each other, they quickly came to the conclusion of dealing with this problem: "Enter together, one for each row and one for each family at a time." ”

According to this arrangement, the three parties lined up in a long line, and slowly walked to the city gate under the leadership of the three sons.

When they entered the city gate, the three of them found that the hole in this city gate was extremely deep, at least three feet long, and the city wall was made of hard stones, which could not be easily destroyed.

I don't know why the Xiongguan was abandoned for no reason in the last years of the previous dynasty, and now this former Xiongguan has long been hidden in the vast Wuyi.

But what the three of them didn't know was that as early as ten days ago, that is, before they arrived at Wufu, a caravan of dozens of people had already entered Tongmu Pass, and they spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of hoarded tea and got to know all the tea makers in the city.

Su Canghai and the others slowly stepped into the open city gate, and at this time, the sky had slowly darkened, and the visibility in the corridor was slowly decreasing.

Su Canghai, who had been prepared, lit torches one after another, and walked towards the city unhurriedly, and when they passed the exit, they found that because of the erosion of time, the broken dragon gate of the big city had disappeared.

A quarter of an hour later, the ruins of an ancient city appeared in front of them! That's right, it's not the ancient city, the scene that appears inside the city is a charred ruin!

In the hearts of these passers-by, what should appear in front of them should be a quaint old city built in Xiongguan, which has the overflowing fragrance of tea and the simple and hard-working tea farmers.

But what they saw was really dumbfounded, it was a charred ruin, and it had been burned for some days, because the gray smoke in the ruins had long since disappeared, leaving a mess behind.

The first batch of people who arrived were naturally Su Canghai, Ren Zongheng, and Chen Liang, and behind them, Jin Yiwei, the Li family's guest qing, and the Su family's doorman followed.

Facing the scorched ruins of Guanzhong, Su Canghai, Chen Liang, and Ren Zongheng were stunned, and the three of them looked at each other, and suddenly felt a chill behind them, and then they looked cold at the same time.

"There's something wrong with this castle guard! Everyone, get out! The three of them shouted at the same time, and quickly turned their horses' heads and prepared to sprint out of the gate.

But it was too late, the gate began to close rapidly at this time, and the heavy city gate slammed shut under the gaze of everyone, and with the closing of the city gate, the inside and outside of the city directly became two worlds!

At this time, the city was on fire, and in the shadow of the city, many soldiers armed with crossbows and dressed in Japanese costumes appeared, and they did not speak, and directly deducted the activation button of the crossbow machine to the people under the city!

The rain of arrows fell, and everyone in the city could only avoid it.

And the other party's ambush will not be so simple, at this time, there are also bursts of shouts and killings in the charred ruins of the city! I saw a puff of gray smoke burst out, and many sergeants hidden under the dust also killed at the same time.

"Crossbow! These must not be Dongying people! Ren Zongheng frowned and shouted, "Everyone be careful! These are most likely the Phoenix Guards of the Praetorian Guard! Most likely the queen's person! Are you going to rebel? ”

"Feng Wei?" Su Canghai's brows furrowed slightly, and then he smiled, "I see, the disciples of the Su family will kill with me!" ”

Chen Liang also frowned: "Good guy, the Jurchens seem to have a lot of ideas!" Brothers, do it! ”、

The three forces that were originally hostile to each other joined forces in an instant, and the more than 20 people who had already entered the city committed suicide in the direction they chose.

And it was at this time that a soft voice came down from the city, and I saw a eunuch slowly poking his head out: "I'm really sorry~ Ren Qianhu." You're going to die here today! Oh! And the windfall! The eldest son of the Su family is a royalist who is in the limelight, and you must also die! ”

Chen Liang frowned when he heard this: "Eunuch, do you look down on our Yingchuan Chen family?" ”

This eunuch didn't seem to expect this Chen Liang to appear, but then he smiled and said, "Huh! There is even the son of the Yingchuan Chen family, then he has to kill it even more! Kids! Not a single one to stay! ”

As soon as the words fell, the flames of battle in the city were already ignited, and the blood began to splash in the hazy night.

And the most powerful ten of the group that entered the city chose the most dangerous and convenient escape route - to enter the city!

As the elite of several major forces, everyone has a few brushes, and the Jinyi Guards led by Ren Zongheng entered the four thousand households, and they cooperated exquisitely, with swords, guns, sticks, and palms, all kinds of swords, guns, and sticks, and rushed straight to the stone ladder of the wall with a small formation that was both offensive and defensive.

And the guest qing of the Chen family took out the bottles and cans, took out the silver needle with a backhand, and the last one actually took out a flute, and when they started it, all kinds of strange things rushed out and went straight to the crossbowman on the city tower.

Su Canghai took up the light work, and took the three men to step directly on the wall to enter the city, and there were a large number of landing points on the mottled wall, and they could easily climb the city tower.

And when they successfully avoided the rain of arrows and climbed the tower, the hand-to-hand battle began, and Su Canghai took the lead, holding a sword against the eunuch led by him.

"Humph! Do you think you can easily escape from our grasps? The eunuch sneered and pulled out the long sword at his waist and directly faced Su Canghai's sword style.

The two swords clashed in the air, one was a murderous killing sword, and the other was a feminine and sympathetic assassination sword, and the two sides were evenly matched for a while.

"Good guy, it seems that your status is not low, this is the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits!" Su Canghai sneered, "Wait, no matter which of the three parties is the one, they can easily bury you." ”

"You live and talk these big things." The eunuch smiled coldly, saying that the swordsmanship in his hand was even more powerful, and the two began to collide fiercely.

On the other side, the three doormen also fought directly with the crossbowmen who drew their swords, and when the other party started a melee battle, they directly felt the obvious military style of the other party.

Their one-on-one combat power is not outstanding, but there are no shortcomings, although one-on-one is far from being the opponent of these Jianghu guests, but when the three of them attack together, they can be directly contained.

Fortunately, one of the stairs on the other two sides was attacking, otherwise the battle at the head of the city would not have been so easy.

At the same time, the attendants under the city also began to fight in the city, and it was their continuous uproar to the city that relieved their considerable pressure.

And the other party seems to have a lot of ambush in the city, even with the reinforcements that continue to enter the city, the two sides are still in a stalemate stage in a short period of time.
