Tiangu's entanglement didn't last long, because Qin Sixteen's next sentence was immediately followed: "When Cheng Ziyi comes back, you and he will go to the horse gang outside the city, but don't make any mistakes." ”

"Yes!" Tiangu hurriedly responded, bowed out, closed the door again, and the sound of young people playing and scolding came from the room again, and his back was soaked with sweat.

After that, he waited in the stronghold, until Cheng Ziyi brought back a few newly bought maids, and Tiangu directly followed Cheng Ziyi out of the Dark Key Pavilion and came to Guqi Town.

As for Qin Sixteen didn't see through his strength, Tiangu didn't have a bottom in his heart. It wasn't that he didn't want to just leave, but the temptation of the Dark Key Pavilion's gold was also huge, and he couldn't give up such a large amount of wealth.

The most important thing is that staying by Qin Sixteen's side can also create an opportunity for him to learn internal qi, the great grandmaster is not so easy to find, let alone stay by the side of the great grandmaster and observe them using internal qi.

The days in summer were always long, and when Qin Sixteen came slowly with the last batch of wooden boxes, it was already evening. At this time, Qin Sixteen was wearing a wide dress, a lot of sweat beads oozed from his oily face, two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and he looked panting when he sat on the horse.

As the master of the Dark Key Pavilion, Qin Sixteen's disguise technique is naturally much more advanced than others, and there are also talents who are proficient in disguise among Tiangang-level killers, Qin Sixteen's "appearance" is that it took half an hour for the disguise master to come out, although it is also a human skin mask, but this one on his face is a high-end product!

Although he didn't recognize Qin Sixteen at first sight, who could be protected by a group of Tiangang killers in the middle like stars holding the moon, who could it be if it wasn't Qin Sixteen? Cheng Ziyi hurriedly ran forward and greeted flatteringly: "Master, you are here." ”

"Our side has also finished counting, and the boxes are fine, but it's getting dark, do you want to set off on the road tomorrow?" Carefully helping Qin Sixteen off the horse, Cheng Ziyi asked.

To do a play, you have to do a full set, since you are now a wealthy businessman, you naturally have to do something to show it, so as not to be suspected. Qin Sixteen pulled Cheng Ziyi's arm, showing a look of exhaustion, looked up at the sky, and gasped: "Then rest for the night, I'm tired, go and prepare some food for me, and clean water, I want to take a bath!"

"Okay," Cheng Ziyi replied cooperatively, turning around and shouting to the servants who came with him, "Go to the town to find a clean family, the master wants to take a bath!"

The administrative area of the Shengxin Kingdom was basically divided by cities, and the lord of each city had the local military and political power, which was equivalent to the emperor of the soil. The imperial court's method of checking and balancing the local government is also simple, and the city lords in various places will be reshuffled every few years, so on the whole, the power of the eunuchs in various places is still relatively balanced.

The administrative division of the city as the basic area was indeed very convenient for the ruler in terms of management, but it also caused a huge drawback, that is, the excessive concentration of social resources.

There are all kinds of public facilities in the city, and there is no shortage of food, drink and entertainment. However, the villages and towns built around the city will appear to be quite dilapidated, all the materials will flow to the city, and the people outside the city will naturally not pay attention to the development of other industries except farming.

Therefore, when Qin Sixteen proposed to find a place to take a bath, Cheng Ziyi could only order the servants accompanying the team to go to the town to find a farmer's house to borrow. Although the journey of this trip is not too far, with thousands of boxes of silver, the speed of travel is naturally not fast, so in addition to the maids bought for the little county lord, Cheng Ziyi also prepared a few more servants in case of emergency.

After learning the news that Cheng Ziyi and his entourage were going to stay in the town for a night, Liang Guli of the Ma Gang scolded Cheng Ziyi again: "You tender skins, you don't say it early when you leave tomorrow, so Lao Tzu has been waiting here for a day, and you are all sick!"

Cheng Ziyi, who was splashed with spit again, had no choice but to accompany him helplessly, with an embarrassed face. He is the right protector of a dark key pavilion, and for the gold and silver in the wooden box behind him, he is also very compromised at this time!

After complaining to the Cheng family's housekeeper in front of him, Liang Guli spat on the ground, and then drove the horse out of the town's campsite.

"The fat man of Tongzhou doesn't know what kind of madness he has, the city gate is unguarded, and he can enter and exit all night. It's been a day, I'm going to go back and be happy, I'll be back early tomorrow morning!" These are the words that Liang Guli left to his subordinates before leaving.

Liang Guli's voice was very loud, and Cheng Ziyi naturally heard it, but at this time, he didn't feel that he could restrain Liang Guli's behavior, so he went with him.

The horse team of the horse gang travels in the open, and before the task is completed, they generally do not make a detour into the city, and Liang Guli, who has just received Cheng Ziyi's prepaid commission, naturally wants to seize this opportunity and enjoy himself in advance.

Tongzhou City is only ten miles away from Guqi Town, and if you ride a horse, it will take less than a moment to reach the city wall. Liang Guli, who was riding his horse and galloping, would never have thought that the person who let this Tongzhou City Lord Kong Ji change his personality and change the city gate from being closed all day to being open all night was the Cheng family caravan he was escorting!

The rumors of the Dark Key Pavilion in Tongzhou City, as well as the incident of hundreds of soldiers being slaughtered overnight in the City Lord's Mansion, had already made Kong Houhu, the deputy commander of the Tongzhou garrison, notice a trace of abnormality, but he was not sure whether his conjecture was correct. It wasn't until the news released by the Dark Key Pavilion reached him that he understood the cause and effect of all this.

A young grandmaster covered with blood, burned down the main hall of the horse gang and saved the only daughter of King Li, in the case of the closure of Tongzhou City, in addition to the Dark Key Pavilion, which organization has such a great ability to slaughter the five hundred soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion in one night?

Since the Dark Key Pavilion stopped every time he made a move, leaving the life of the city lord Kong Ji, it showed that they didn't want to see the city lord replaced. Instead, I hope to give Kong Ji a warning, a warning not to meddle, they don't need a new city lord, but a "sensible" city lord!

A Jianghu force that is accustomed to assassination, after wantonly slaughtering the defenders of a city, even openly announced that he had changed his master, which is obviously to provoke trouble. Therefore, Kong Houhu suggested that Kong Ji not only open the city gate, but also remove all the defenders in the city.

It can be regarded as a signal to the Dark Key Pavilion, a signal that they will no longer interfere, and the Dark Key Pavilion can do whatever it wants these days, and their Tongzhou defenders just don't see it.

However, Kong Ji's courage is indeed too small, after listening to Kong Houhu's analysis, in order to show his sincerity. He not only withdrew the defenders in the city, but also continued to open the city gate at night, if there is an enemy army sneak attack at night, this Tongzhou city is afraid that it will fall completely in less than two hours.

In fact, Kong Houhu and Kong Ji both thought a little too much, and Qin Sixteen just needed them to open the city gate. As for the news he released, it was actually to remind another person, a person with the title of Sheng Xin's number one master, Yu Huaiyin, the leader of the horse gang!
