Chapter 52: Return to Wangliu

The Cheng family caravan traveled all night, and then it just left the boundary of Ruize City. The gang members of the horse gang were also cooperative along the way, and after seeing the ruthless methods of the guards in the process, they were much more honest.

In the next few days, everyone worked together to rush to the road, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the royal capital Tiansheng, Qin Sixteen's mind slowly shifted to Sheng Xin's situation.

"Right Protector, is there any news from the spies?" This is the third time Qin Sixteen has asked Cheng Ziyi about Tiansheng today.

Cheng Ziyi hurriedly came over, shook his head and said, "Pavilion Master, there is still no movement outside the city." ”

Since the people of the Ma Gang knew that they were not ordinary runners, Qin Sixteen and Cheng Ziyi naturally would no longer use titles like "master" and "housekeeper" to disguise themselves, and began to call each other the title of the other party in the Dark Key Pavilion.

The employees of the Dark Key Pavilion are all over the Shengxin Country, and naturally they will have their own communication channels, although the spies in Tiansheng City have long been unable to spread the news, but outside Tiansheng City, Cheng Ziyi has also arranged a lot of nails.

Transferring the stronghold of the Dark Key Pavilion is not a trivial matter, most of the spies in the north have been concentrated outside Tiansheng City by Cheng Ziyi, and even in recent times, Cheng Ziyi has lagged behind the external commissions, which has also caused the organization to lose a lot of business.

"If there is any news, tell me as soon as possible," Qin Sixteen pondered for a while, pinched his chin and said lightly, "Is Tiangu back?"

Hearing Tiangu's name, Cheng Ziyi's face hung down a few black lines, but he still replied in as natural a tone as possible: "Ruize's defenders are still on a city-wide wanted list, but there is no news of his arrest. ”

Qin Sixteen waved his hand, and Cheng Ziyi consciously stepped aside.

Tiangu will definitely come back, a great grandmaster-level killer, how can he be caught by the defenders so easily. A top grandmaster like Yu Huaiyin can even break into the heavily defended royal capital Tiansheng alone.

Although Tiangu did not reach the height of Yu Huaiyin, the defense of Naruize City was also far less dense than that of Tiansheng City. As for why Qin Sixteen concluded that Tiangu would definitely come back, the reason was actually very simple, because Tiangu's personality was too similar to him.

After suffering such a big dumb loss, Tiangu will definitely not give up.

There was still no news from Tiansheng City and Tiangu, and Qin Sixteen calmed down and followed the caravan slowly. Not long after, the outline of a city appeared in front of him, and for Qin Sixteen, it was a city full of memories.

"Captain Liang," Qin Sixteen looked at Liang Guli in front of him, and shouted with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "Speed up the road ahead and leave Wangliu City early." ”

Wangliu City is the first city that Qin Sixteen arrived at after leaving Tiansheng, and the first wealthy family in this city is Xiao Duxue's mother's family, Wangliu Xiao Clan!

abducted someone's daughter, and threw her alone in the underground of Tongzhou City, even if there was a reason, Qin Sixteen didn't have the old face to see the Xiao family again, although the current Qin Sixteen wore a human skin mask, and he had no face at all.

Hearing Qin Sixteen's call, Liang Guli turned around and nodded to indicate that he had heard, and then rode to the front of the team, letting the gang speed up. Although he had to succumb to Qin Sixteen's coercion, it did not mean that Liang Guli wanted to curry favor with Qin Sixteen.

So along the way, he was far away from Qin Sixteen, and he had the implication of wanting to kill and listen to him.

The caravan marched to the foot of Wangliu City, the crowd on the official road became more and more dense, as the closest city to Tiansheng, most of the merchants gathered from all over the country were stranded in Wangliu City, once the news of Tiansheng Kaicheng came out, they would take their goods from Wangliu all the way to the north, rush into the royal capital, and dump their goods wantonly.

Wangliu, who is under the control of the Xiao family, is not like the city lord of Ruize City, who is ugly to death. This Wangliu City is very clear that it supports King Li's side, and naturally it will not set up any checkpoints, saying that it will investigate the rebels or something.

However, when the Cheng family caravan led by Qin Sixteen approached, it was discovered that the official road outside Wangliu City was also blocked, and this congested scene was even worse than that of Ruize City, which had set up a checkpoint.

There were too many people in the way, and the caravan could no longer move forward, Qin Sixteen frowned, and called Cheng Ziyi again: "Go and see what's going on?"

Cheng Ziyi hurriedly ran forward, and after whispering to Liang Guli for a while, the two walked into the crowd together to inquire about the situation.

After a while, Cheng Ziyi and Liang Guli returned to the caravan, Cheng Ziyi trotted all the way to Qin Sixteen's side, and reported: "Pavilion Master, this time it's not that the city lord of Wangliucheng is doing trouble, but there are too many caravans rushing to Tiansheng.

On this day, several small villages and towns outside Shengcheng have been unable to stop, most of the caravans are concentrated in Wangliu City, but from a few days ago, the inns and hotels in Wangliu City are also crowded, many caravans have no place to live, so they set up tents on the roadside in the city, which seriously affects the normal traffic and order of Wangliu City.

So early this morning, the defenders of Wangliu drove out the redundant caravans crowded in the city, and these caravans that were driven out had nowhere to go, so they could only block the edge of the official road. Then the more and more blocked, and finally it became like this, and even the official road was occupied. ”

After learning about the actual situation, Qin Sixteen also became difficult. He has been in Liucheng this time, and he also knows some of the Xiao family's style. Although the city lord of Wangliu is not surnamed Xiao, he is actually a member of the Xiao family's side lineage, and the entire city is only the head of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family is a well-known wealthy family in Shengxin's country, and they have a very good set of business methods, and they value long-term reputation and profits more than temporary small profits. The city is the property of the Xiao family, and as long as the caravans in the past continue to flow, they will have endless money.

Therefore, the Xiao family will not be like the city lord of Ruize City, setting up checkpoints to intercept caravans, just for short-term profits. But in this way, there is another problem, that is, when a similar phenomenon occurs outside the city, the government of Wangliucheng actually puts on a posture that it has nothing to do with itself.

Wangliucheng, under the governance of the Xiao family, attaches great importance to commerce and advocates freedom. As long as the merchants continue to come and go, their hotels, inns, casinos and other industries will be full of business, and they only need to maintain order in the city, as for the congestion outside the city, of course, they are out of sight.

"Can we bypass the official road, and when we avoid the congestion, we will return to the main road?" Qin Sixteen's face was a little helpless, and he said in a deep voice.

At this time, Cheng Ziyi was also very embarrassed, he was also very concerned about the wealth of the Dark Key Pavilion, he just shook his head and said: "This question, I have already asked Liang Guli, he said that the ground around Wangliu City is too soft, and it is easy for a cart that transports heavy objects to us to fall underground......"

Cheng Ziyi didn't finish the rest of the words, because he knew that Qin Sixteen understood.

"Right Protector, the caravan will be handed over to you for the time being, and I will enter the city for a while!" As if he had made up his mind, Qin Sixteen frowned slightly, and commanded Cheng Ziyi.

"Yes, Pavilion Master!" Cheng Ziyi hurriedly saluted and responded.

Time was pressing, the little county lord was still in the underground of Tongzhou City, and Qin Sixteen didn't want to be delayed any longer. Although he didn't want to have anything to do with the people of the Xiao family, only the Xiao family had the ability to help him at this moment.
