Chapter 191: Shortcuts

As mentioned last time, the special forces were forced to expose their whereabouts by Sima Zhao's words, and now things have become troublesome, they haven't entered the city yet, there are 2,000 guards in the city, if the news of them here is known by the defenders in the city, then what will they do? Shall this mere thirty men go against a city guarded by two thousand?

Special forces are also people, not supermen wearing red underwear outside, let them carry out surprise attacks and assassinations, and even confront them head-on, they can be one enemy and ten, but let them attack the city, it can't be decisive.

made such a thing, the special forces hated Sima Zhao to death, and they all wanted to kill him, but he was a baby bump, let alone killing him, even if he lost a hair, it would be a troublesome thing.

Sima Zhao can't kill, but these servants are different, no matter how many of these special forces are killed, they don't say that they are like killing people, but they are also experienced in a hundred battles, everyone has at least dozens of lives in their hands, and killing these officials is as simple as killing chickens and slaughtering enough.

However, killing them would not help, but might cause trouble, and it was not only their combined caravan waiting to be cleared in the customs now, but there were several other caravans, large and small, waiting to be paid and cleared.

The people of the caravan were all looking at this side with curious expressions on their faces now. Yes, you read that right, curiosity, not fear. Some of these caravans are engaged in smuggling, and they live a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and even those caravans that do legitimate business, because they have to transport long distances, will hire some bodyguards, and these people are used to seeing fights and killings.

Therefore, this kind of thing of drawing a sword against each other is not uncommon, but it is rare for someone to take out the crossbow machine in the general to trade. However, they are not surprised, in this troubled era, the boss of Hou#Tai, who can organize such a large-scale caravan to travel through the state and even go abroad to do business, must have a deep official background#.

Therefore, the caravan in front of him that took out the crossbow machine may be the private property of a certain general, which can also be glimpsed from the strong momentum and strong physique of those men who took the crossbow machine, since it is the general's caravan, it is not surprising to use the crossbow machine in the army to arm the bodyguard.

Because of the distance, the other caravans couldn't hear the conversation here, and they didn't know anything about what was going on here, and they thought that the two sides couldn't reach an agreement on the tax issue.

This kind of thing is very common, there is no certain standard for collecting taxes in this era, it all depends on the preferences of officials and officials, and it is not a matter of their words to collect more and collect less.

Sometimes when they encounter insatiable officials and wantonly raise their taxes, some smugglers are forced to draw their knives and come out with the official theory, and it is not uncommon for them to even fight when they disagree.

Anyway, what they are doing is not a legitimate business, and their identity is also a disgraceful smuggler, so after the fight, they will not take this route in the future, and just change to other smuggling channels to mix and eat.

However, they generally do not make trouble, if they make trouble, the nature is different, and then the government will issue a sea fishing document across the country, although it is not so that there is nowhere to hide, but it will inevitably bring inconvenience to their own travel.

These merchants are all over the world to do business, if they go everywhere to worry about being wanted, it will naturally have a great impact on their business, so this kind of weapon fight or group fight is usually just a small fight, just a bad breath, rarely cause death.

And the current special forces don't want to cause trouble, of course, what they are thinking about is not that they are afraid of being wanted by the whole country, but how to pass through the city without alarming the defenders in Zhangling City.

If they were to shoot these officials as soon as possible, it would be difficult to guarantee that none of the surrounding witnesses would run to Zhangling City to report and receive the bounty, unless all of them were killed. But there are so many people here, and it is impossible for them to kill them all in a short period of time, what if a few people escape into the mountains and forests, and then make a detour back to the city to report the news?

Guo Changsheng clenched his raised hand into a fist, and then slowly lowered it, this gesture meant to stop the attack. After receiving the order, the special forces did not fire crossbow arrows, but they did not put down the crossbow machine, and still pointed their crossbows at the officials.

After Guo Changsheng lifted the attack order, he spoke: "Hmph! It's not impossible not to kill you, but how to ensure that you don't go to the defenders to inform, and how can we get through Guò Zhangling City safely. ”

Since this problem is difficult to solve, Guo Changsheng decided to hand over this problem to these officials, believing that in order to save their lives, they will definitely come up with a way to achieve both.

"Everyone, even if you enter the city, we promise that we will not go back and tell the soldiers guarding the city what happened here, so you can enter the city according to the normal procedures, and I promise you that there will be no obstacles, no obstacles." The older servant replied.

"Huh, okay? It's okay for your sister, you promise, does your guarantee work? Why do we believe you? Now I will give you two paths, one is that you will lead us to Guò Zhangling City, but in order to prevent you from playing any tricks, we will use a knife on your neck the whole time;

The second is that after we kill you, we will find another way back to Wu. The border between the two countries is so long, I believe that we can find a way back to China at will. Guo Changsheng said.

In this sentence, he seems to have accidentally revealed their origins, but in fact, he secretly laid a trap to make the officials think that they were sent by the Wu State, so as to confuse the investigators of the Wei State in the future.

"No, no, you don't have to find other roads, I know there is a way to enter the country of Wu without entering the city." When the elder official heard Guo Changsheng's words, he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said in a trembling voice.

They didn't want these outlaws to force them into the city with knives, and if they did, the best chance would be that the soldiers defending the city would shoot them along with them, regardless of their safety.

Although they can show off their might to the merchants in the past, in the eyes of those big people, they are all lowly people, only one level higher than those lowly people, in fact, they are not much higher, they still belong to the ranks of ants, and killing them is no different from pinching an ant to death.

Of course, the older officials did not want to choose the second way, although the first way was dangerous, but it did not say that he would die immediately, and this second way would be killed immediately. Therefore, he was in a hurry to get wise, and he created a third way out of the way.

This third road is a change from the second road, since these people want to bypass Zhangling City to find another way, it is better for them to lead the way and find a shortcut for these outlaws without entering the city.

It can be said that the second half of this third road is the same as the second road, but the front part has been changed by him. That way, they don't have to die, because these people need them to lead the way. It's just that after they lead the way, whether these people will kill them or not, I can't think about it so much now.
