Chapter 193: Nameless Anger
As soon as the sky dawned here, the entire Tianqian City suddenly became lively.
And as more and more people came out, some people gradually found the black-clothed people at the entrance of the post station, and the blood stains that had been shed all over the ground and had dried up.
Immediately, someone hurriedly ran to the city lord's mansion to report.
At this time, at the post station, Su Xiao and the others were already having breakfast. It's just that the rich one and the rich two, plus a group of small two guards, are already in chaos in the middle of the night. Secretly left with a few boxes of belongings and some ores and medicinal herbs.
I guess I'll be looking for a shop in the Trench Castle early in the morning!
This time, they were purely doing some small business, and they were not going to open a treasure building, but after Zhuge Jin's order, one was looking for a store in the direction of the north of the city, and the other was looking for a store in the direction of the south of the city.
At the dinner table, the people who had breakfast were still talking about it.
Master... has already been asked, they are all sergeants who reported death, and they were secretly cultivated by Tang Tiande, raised as Deadpool, and secretly solved some shady tasks.
Hehe... I don't think it's just Tang Tiande, if you want to say that there is no shadow of Xiang Wentian here, I don't believe it, it seems that this old fox is not simple, and he actually pushed it all away.
If you really investigate this, you won't be able to find Xiang Wentian's head, and with Tang Tiande's brainless character, I'm afraid that he has been being used as a gunman by Xiang Wentian, and he doesn't even know it!
If one day, Tang Tiande is sold to Xiang Wentian, Tang Tiande still has to say thank you to Xiang Wentian, this is a tragedy...
At this time, Zhuge Jin said lightly: After this trouble, boss, you can take the opportunity to ask for more benefits, anyway, being thick-skinned is your distinctive characteristic, and being a scoundrel is your essence.
Depend on... Why is this my distinctive characteristic? You explain it to me, or we will talk about it well today, and when I am done, I put down the bowl and rolled up my sleeves as if I was going to fight.
Cut... Come on, when you used to be, you dared to say that you were not the demon king of the mixed world, did I say you wrong?
You... Damn, I couldn't speak, and I really didn't say anything wrong when I thought about it.
Okay, hurry up and eat, I guess Xiang Wentian will be there in a while, by the way, boss, you have to pretend to be weak, indicating that you have been assassinated, so that you can get more things.
This is called being weak and numbing.
Then he finished breakfast in laughter, but the bowl had not yet been put down, and the sound of horses' hooves was already heard not far away.
Okay, don't eat it, the five of you withdraw, boss, you pretend to be weak, watch me perform!
Good... It's up to you.
Subsequently, the door of the post station was knocked open, and Tang Tiande stepped into the post station one after the other.
Before I could see anyone here, the voice came.
Brother Su... Are you okay. Brother Su... Where are you! I'm too late for my brother...
At this time, Zhuge Jin walked out in time.
Slowly.... Hou Ye is injured and frightened, and is recuperating, I don't know who you are?
You are?
I am Hou Ye's subordinate and Hou Ye's brother, my name is Zhuge Jin.
Brother Zhuge Hello, hello, I am the city lord Xiang Wentian, and this is General Tang Tiande Tang next to me, I don't know what happened last night? Someone went to the city lord's mansion early this morning to report that many people had died at the gate of the post station.
What the hell is going on, and is Hou Ye safe and sound?
Returning to the city lord, we don't know the specifics, we only know that at the third watch last night, a group of black-clothed people came in to assassinate Hou Ye, not that I said you to the city lord, the security of your Tianqian City is too child's play.
Yes yes yes ... I don't know what to do?
Fortunately, Hou Ye Fu had a great life, and at the critical moment, Hou Ye's guard commander arrived, which saved Hou Ye's life, and in this way, Hou Ye was also slightly injured and frightened, and he was still resting at this time.
This... Master Hou is fine, right? Do you want to call a doctor to take a look?
Xiang Wentian showed a caring look.
Thank you for your kindness to the city lord, it's no big deal, the accompanying doctor has already seen it, but he just received a palm, a little internal injury, and excessive fright, I don't know about it, how to give an explanation to the city lord of my family?
Ahem... Zhuge Jin, don't be rude to the city lord, come back to me...
Top dog... Look at you, you almost lost your life, why do you still speak for them? After speaking, Zhuge Jin showed a look of righteous indignation.
Come back... Do you want me to say it a third time?
Hum... Zhuge Jin snorted unhappily, skimmed as if asking the sky, and went back in a huff.
With the support of Fugui, I took a step forward, arched my hand to Xiang Wentian and Tang Tiande, and apologized to the city lord, General Tang, this body is in trouble, and I didn't come out in time to greet him, Wanghaihan...
Xiang Wentian and Tang Tiande also returned the salute
Xiang Wentian hurriedly said: Where is it, it was I who took poor care of someone, so that Hou Ye was frightened, frightened, you can rest assured Hou Ye, I will definitely send troops to search the whole city, I must catch the murderer, and give you an explanation.
Hehe... My miserable white face, coupled with my miserable smile, is really scary.
Xiang to the city lord, I have come all the way, but I have never encountered such a thing, I will definitely show the emperor in time, I hope to help the city lord, help me hand over the fold...
This... Master Hou, isn't it serious? Xiang Wentian looked like he was begging for perfection.
Ay... Xiang City Lord, I don't dare to stay here, this is just the first night, there is such a thing, hey... Xiang City Lord, it really chills me...
This... Xiang Wentian was also deceived by me, and he didn't know what I meant!
Master Su, just say, how do you want to ask the city lord, you can be satisfied, don't be like a girl, grinding and chirping? Tang Tiande couldn't stand it, and suddenly said in a hurry?
Hmmm, General Tang, what do you mean? You mean I'm threatening you? Just think about you, the knives are all on your necks, and you almost died here, can you be comfortable?
Right, right... What Su Hou Ye said is reasonable, it is that I have not taken good care of someone, but Su Hou Ye can rest assured, I will definitely satisfy Su Hou Ye, didn't the emperor allow you a lot of money and grain and livestock?
I'm doubling it to someone, as an apology, to shock Su Houye, you see?
Well... Thinking about the city lord, it's not that I, Su, am embarrassed by someone, it's just that I can't swallow this breath, I don't think I'm embarrassed, you load the things that the emperor gave me, call the soldiers and horses given to me, I'll leave!
I'm afraid I'll die if I'm a little late... I'll simply pack up and leave, to the city lord, General Tang, I won't send it, General Tang, you can also go back to the barracks to arrange the following!
This... Master Su, you are in physical condition now, why don't you rest and rest here?
Hehe... At this time, Fugui suddenly said: Xiang City Lord, don't I dare, this big night, martial law has been imposed, I don't know where more than 50 assassins came from, and they went straight to my family.
I'm afraid I'll have my life to sleep, but I'll not get up...
All right... Since Hou Ye Su is determined to leave, I will no longer stop someone, I will prepare when I go back, and I will send someone to inform you when I am ready, what do you think?
Well... That trouble is to the city lord, and look at the city lord to hurry up.
Good... Then you rest here first, I'll deal with it, see you later.
Ahem... That to the city lord and General Tang, I won't send it if I go slowly...
Here Xiang Wentian and Tang Tiande came in a hurry, rushed back, and just arrived at the city lord's reception hall, Xiang Wentian smashed the teapot.
It's so annoying... I'm angry...
Lao Xiang, this waiting cub is too annoying, don't bring such a blatant thing to ask for something!
Hum... I almost got it.,For a cub like him who hasn't grown all the hair.,I'm afraid it's not easy to be scared this time.,It's just that I didn't succeed.,It's a bit of a pity.,Hey...
That...
Okay, the matter has come to this, it is irretrievable, who told us to be inadequately protected, if we are really involved in a book by this cub, we will not feel good, the emperor is not a fool, why did he have an accident on the first night of entering the city.
We can do it now with some money, but we can't wait for the emperor's soldiers to come to the city, then the gains outweigh the losses, besides, then something is not a drizzle for you and me, and we will give it.
Ay... But I just can't swallow this breath... You said that he took so many things for nothing. Tang Tiande muttered without saying a word.
Come on... Old Tang, you also go back, gather the 50,000 soldiers and horses, and give them to him, of course, according to the previous discussion, you know?
Well... Got it... Then I'll go back and deal with it and say goodbye..
Say goodbye and walk slowly... I don't send it.
Well... You stay
After speaking, Tang Tiande went out in a hurry.
Sitting on the chair, drinking the tea that the butler had just brought me, I was thinking about what the truth of the matter was this time.
As a scheming Xiang Wentian, he will not be fooled so easily.
Three hours later, I thought about the problem and ran to the post station on horseback, telling me that everything was ready, including 30,000 city guards, all of whom had assembled at the gate of the north city, and asked if there were any other orders.
I didn't pay attention to him anymore, I didn't see him, I let Fugui send it away, and then the whole convoy went down the avenue and went directly to the north city gate.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, the 30,000 sergeants were already standing neatly, and there were still carriages coming behind them, all loaded with things, including some livestock, which were loaded with cages at this time.
When all arrived, more than 30 carriages, plus more than a dozen carriages on my side, a huge convoy, waved goodbye to Wentian, and went down the official road to Tianqian Pass.
It's just that in terms of sergeants, money and food, etc., Xiang Wentian didn't do anything, and Xiang Wentian knew in his heart that he must not show any horses and feet when doing things, and these things must be given by the emperor.
It can then be deducted from the next year's taxes, so there is no need to deduct them.
As for the 30,000 city guards, they were originally going to make up for the old, young, sick and weak, but after last night's incident and the performance in the morning, after thinking about it, Xiang Wentian still felt that he couldn't do it perfunctory.
In less than two hours, the convoy drove to the garrison camp at Tianqian Pass, where it came to receive the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses.
It's just that something that makes me angry happens.
Looking at the rows of sergeants standing below, but the old ones, the small ones, the crippled ones, a nameless fire suddenly rushed to the top of their heads.
In the end, under Zhuge Jin's obstruction, it did not break out.
