Chapter 46: The Level

Cheng Ziyi immediately informed Qin Sixteen of the news that Liang Guli had left without authorization, but Qin Sixteen ignored it, and now all their actions are still based on seeking stability, and if they can, they will not cause trouble.

However, this Liang Gu was also obedient, and before dawn on the second day, he drove his horse back to the camp. Seeing that his captain was back, the gang members of the horse gang also consciously began to clean up.

When the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, the team of two hundred men and eighty horses began their journey.

During this period, Liang Guli also came to say hello to Qin Sixteen, and his attitude was much more polite than when he was to Cheng Ziyi, for the real gold master, he also had the intention of flattering him, maybe there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Captain Liang, I have heard for a long time that the leader of the Ma Gang is the number one master of this Shengxin country, Cheng admires it in his heart, I don't know if he is lucky enough to meet Tiansheng in this royal capital. Qin Sixteen rode a horse, parallel to Liang Guli, and asked casually.

Seeing that the other party mentioned his own helper, Liang Guli was also interested, and began to talk boastfully: "The majesty of my helper is naturally not to say, I have only seen him a few times over the years since I joined the gang, although I can only look at it from a distance every time, but I can also feel his majestic domineering old man, he is really a hero!"

Yu Huaiyin can be said to be the collective idol of all the horse gangs, and founded the largest gang in China with a reckless body, helping more than 100,000 people all over the country.

Don't look at the Jianghu forces like the Dark Key Pavilion, which also has a great grandmaster, many officials and nobles don't know it, but when it comes to the name of the horse gang, in the entire Shengxin country, everyone knows it.

"However, the gang leader is busy with affairs, and he always sees the head and the end, even the hall master in the gang can't see his old man a few times a year, Master Cheng, I am afraid it is not so easy for you to see the demeanor of the gang leader. Liang Guli's eyes were full of gold stars, and he said proudly, Yu Huaiyin's existence is the confidence of all the horse gangs.

Qin Sixteen let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity, I thought that when the day dawned on the city, I would have the opportunity to meet the grandmaster demeanor of the old gang leader Yu, but now it seems that the chance is slim." ”

A glimpse of Yu Huaiyin's demeanor? Qin Sixteen was naturally not so boring, he just wanted to test the captain of this horse gang to see if he had any news about Yu Huaiyin in his hand.

It is not a trivial matter for the royal capital to open the city, not only the traffic and commerce inside and outside the royal capital will be opened again, the lord of this prosperous country may change, and when the time comes, the heroes of the world will gather in the royal capital, see the changes in the imperial road, the wind and clouds, isn't it happy!

The Cheng family caravan marched on the official road for five days, and it was protected by the gold-lettered signboard of the horse gang, but there was no offending Xiaoxiao who was not long-sighted. In order to save time and not to detour, the whole horse team did not enter any city along the way, but camped in the villages or small villages near the official road.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and on the sixth day, when the horse team entered the territory of Ruize City, they found that a checkpoint had been set up on the official road ahead. Liang Guli, the leader of the team, rushed forward and asked a soldier guarding the pass: "May I ask the soldier, why did you seal this official road?"

The soldiers guarding the pass saw that Liang Guli was wearing the clothes of the horse gang, and he was still a leader, but he was also more polite: "This is an order from the city lord, Tiansheng has rebellious ministers and thieves to cause chaos in the dynasty, and Ruize City is the only way to Tiansheng, but all teams that want to cross Ruize City must be reviewed." ”

Hearing this, Liang Guli looked embarrassed, Sheng Xinguo also valued agriculture and business, so the horse gang could develop at such a fast speed, and the transportation task they undertook was not only to ensure the safety of the employer's commercial goods, but more importantly, to let the caravan they escorted arrive at the destination unimpeded along the way. If the caravan is hindered in this Ruize City, causing the caravan to pass smoothly, it can be regarded as the responsibility of their horse gang.

Liang Guli took out a few ingots of silver from his arms, stuffed them into the hands of the defenders with a reluctant face, and said painfully: "I hope that the soldier will be convenient!"

Weighing the heavy silver in his hand, the guard soldier was also entangled, looked up at the dozens of large trucks in front of him, shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, this is the city lord personally explained, if a few people pass the customs, I will close half my eyes and let you pass, but your team of hundreds of people ......"

This soldier is telling the truth, the money of the horse gang is not so easy to collect, if he takes other people's money and does not do things, the name of the first gang in the world is not called for fun, at least not a small soldier like him can provoke.

However, the horse team behind Liang Guli is indeed eye-catching, this official road is located on the edge of the city, not to mention the soldiers on the checkpoint, the soldiers on duty on the city wall can also see the situation below, if the people of the horse gang are let through like this, there is no way to explain it.

After receiving the silver taels handed back by the soldier, Liang Guli also understood the nature of the matter, laughed twice, arched his hand and said: "Even so, I don't dare to embarrass the soldier, let me discuss with my employer." ”

Liang Guli turned around and returned, feeling very helpless, the caravan generally took the official road to transport goods, especially the large quantities of goods like the Cheng family caravan, and only a stable official road could bear it.

Bypassing the official road to take a remote trail, not only is it easy to wear out the horse's hooves and increase the damage to the horses, but also the board cart transporting goods can't stand the too rough road, and now, even if it damages the image of the horse gang, he can only discuss with the Cheng family caravan and open the box for the defenders to check.

Without waiting for Liang Gu to leave and return to the team, Cheng Ziyi ran forward first and asked about the situation: "Captain Liang, what is in front?"

Unable to solve the soldiers guarding the pass, Liang Guli also felt that it was irrelevant on his face, and he didn't dare to dictate to Liang Guli anymore, but said in a deep voice: "This city lord of Ruize doesn't know what is wrong, and he actually asks to check the passing caravans one by one. Hmph! I think the inspection is fake, and taking the opportunity to make a fortune is his real plan. ”

Liang Gu has been away from the north and south for so many years, but it is the first time he has seen such an ugly city lord. Sheng Xinguo has a strong commercial atmosphere, and most of the powerful caravans are backed by wealthy families, which are not so easy to bully, such as Kong Ji, the city lord of Tongzhou City, who is also a figure who came out of the wealthy families of merchants.

Therefore, no one would do such a thing as setting up checkpoints to stop caravans, because it would offend people too much. However, now that Sheng Xin's country is in chaos, he doesn't know when the sky will change, and it is normal for some city lords to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Cheng Ziyi was also shocked when he heard this, the wooden box behind him was full of gold and silver, how could he be easily detected by the other party. Things exceeded expectations, and he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he could only find Qin Sixteen to make a decision.

"Captain Liang, wait a minute, let me ask my master. Cheng Ziyi gritted his teeth and said, immediately turned around and trotted towards Qin Sixteen, the treasure of the Dark Key Pavilion was in crisis, he was more anxious than anyone else!
