A loud shout spread throughout the city walls—

"Gold Juice!"

So a group of soldiers brought truckloads of manure from a filthy place, and then it was poured into wooden barrels, and buckets were sent up to the high platforms of the city walls. There was a ditch for the water to flow down each platform, and it was there where the barrels were transported, and on that high platform a cauldron and dry wood had been set up ready to steam the golden juice.

"Get on the log!"

So thick logs were hung up from the other side of the city wall and piled up in the middle of the five-zhang wide wall.

"Hitchhiker"

So the catapults that could throw stones at least 500 meters away were erected, and if you count the city walls, it will only be farther!

"Pour ice water!"

Buckets of water were carried down the walls, and soon they froze and became slippery under the new cold, and the slightest hollows or future and repaired crevices in the walls were also blocked by ice.

"Trench!"

Facing the direction of the Nine Directions, suddenly a lot of stone slabs under the city wall that seemed to be an extension of the city wall actually fell down and stuck to one side of the city wall, and the exposed pits were all wooden stakes or abandoned blades with the tips facing up. Even if these blades were abandoned and rusted, they still exuded a terrible aura, and these pits were two feet apart from each other, which was the real field, but at a distance of two feet from the ground, a small round hole suddenly appeared, and the round hole was long and sharp, and I don't know what it was for.

It was not only the Jiufang side that was invaded by the frost, but also the border walls of the Jixian Country and the Shuiyue Country were also covered with frost. In this suddenly cold weather, the king of Zhenbei hurriedly wrote letters asking for help to the imperial court and other large states! He handed them over to the soldiers and took them away with flying demon beasts! Then the king of Zhenbei came to his big tent behind the city wall and began to issue a series of orders with tiger talismans in his hand, and distributed arrows:

"Pass the order, light the wolf smoke, blow the trumpet!"

"Yes!"

"Give those caravans to our country two days! and tell them they're going to close their doors at any time!"

"Yes!"

"Expelling the herdsmen and caravans of Jixian and Shuiyue! Now that I have even driven people and goods out of the market, those who dare to continue to stay in the periphery after two days will be killed!"

"Yes!"

"Send a letter to Yunzhou, beware of changes in the barbarians in Yunzhou!"

"Yes!"

"Send a conscription order! In addition to guarding the border sects, all sect caravans that enter the mutual market must leave four adult men to guard the border, and ordinary caravans must leave three percent of the guards, if no one in the caravan is willing to stay, draw lots to decide!"

"The prince did this! Those caravans were afraid—" Fearing that the merchants would oppose causing trouble, a general hastened to the side to offer his opinion.

"What's the problem with this? In that case, let's add that if you really don't want to hand over the goods, grain, and goods, they must be supplies that can be used for military purposes, and the value of two cows the day after tomorrow is worth one person. ”

"But—"

"Pass my orders!" roared King Zhenbei.

"Yes!"

"The ...... of the Taoist Border Guarding Sect"

......

A short time after the order was issued, King Zhenbei received a request from the officials sent by Ji Xianguo and Suiyue Kingdom to be stationed in Hushi. Each of these officials, with a dozen to a dozen of five people, was stationed in the market, and was responsible for overseeing and ensuring that the herders and their caravans were able to get fair deals. Standing there and thinking about it, King Zhenbei agreed to the request of these people to receive them.

"Originally, I didn't really want to see you, although this mutual market is mainly under the supervision of my Youzhou military forces, but after all, it is the efforts of both of us to be so prosperous, so I think it is necessary to meet you. ”

As soon as the voice of King Zhenbei fell, the officials who were invited began to speak one by one:

"Lord Wang, please forgive your superiority, this mutual market is opening well, why did you suddenly close it?"

"That's right! Lord Wang, we were very happy that you were willing to open a mutual market in advance, but you are destroying the stability of our three kingdoms!"

"That's it!"

"Lord Chitose, the herdsmen and caravans we came from the border have worked hard all the way, and it is not good for you to deal with the mutual market in the coming year!"

"You can't just kick them out!"

Hearing this, King Zhenbei said: "If you ask me, you might as well ask yourself, I don't believe that you don't know that the Nine Directions Kingdom has sent troops to attack us!"

"But the prince!"

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, just listen!" With the words of King Zhenbei, there was a sound of metal colliding in the big tent, and the aura of killing began to permeate, and for a while these officials of the two countries in the mutual market were still, standing there and listening quietly.

"You should thank me, the Orange Youjing side will only drive out the herdsmen, caravans and officials like you in the nine directions, because time waits for no one!" said this, the king of Zhenbei paused and continued: "Seeing you, I just can't bear the disaster of this ordinary herdsman, and I also want to fight for the last possibility, go back and tell your generals and lords that our side has already made preparations, whether it is the matter of poppies or the matter of war, it will never go as they wish!"

When King Zhenbei spoke, a pair of eyes carefully looked at every official in front of him, and sure enough, when he mentioned Poppy, there were two officials of Ji Xianguo's face that turned a little pale!

"Okay, you all go out, send them out of the market!" said the king of Zhenbei, but he looked at a partial general to the side, and when he saw this, the partial general immediately led people to take these officials out, but the two of them, whose faces had changed greatly, were carried to other places in the noise......

The officials who were taken out of the market were directly connected to their guards and set up a salute that was picked up and thrown out of the market together......

"That's not right! Lord Kim, Lord Yin didn't come out!"

"Lord Mo, have you seen my family?"

"Didn't he get out with us?" the official who was asked was also a little puzzled when he looked at the guards who couldn't find the master's house.

"But I only saw you come out, but I didn't see my family!?"

"What?"

"It can't be!"

"Didn't they come out?"

"Why don't we go back and find it?"

But as soon as they raised their feet, they were aggressive...... Rows and rows of arrows stood in front of them, piercing the air into the frozen earth......

Arrows shot into the dirt told those who wanted to go back that the trespassers were dead! Those who had to come out had no choice but to evacuate with their herdsmen and caravans......

Then the merchants were given two days to pack their bags and solve the problem!

And the entire mutual market without foreigners was also chaotic, and new notices were posted one after another, which made caravans like Lang Sword Pavilion who had arrived at the border of Youzhou for the first time confused......

"What's going on, why did the King of Zhenbei forcibly recruit us?"

"Senior brother, I've inquired, it seems that the Three Kingdoms on the other side are about to open a station again!"

"Now, then he can't recruit us now! doesn't he know how badly our Langjian Pavilion was killed by them?" Liu Jin stomped his feet in anger.

"Then senior brother, should we ...... Delivery?" one of the disciples suggested.

"Delivery? Do you want me to lose money? You don't know how much money this door uses now!" Liu Jin shook his head as he spoke.

"In that case, why don't I leave with a few brothers, senior brother!" Liang Liangtian looked at Liu Jin.

"Stay, junior brother, you can think about it! If you leave, I'll find someone to use it there!" Liu Jin said and sighed again, he now remembered Feng Changling, who had already left, and suddenly his mind moved: "It's not a thing! Did he know about this Feng Changling a long time ago before he hurried to leave?"

......

The same is true inside and outside the mutual market, Wen Xinlong, who has already arrived at the border at this time, looked at the letter in his hand but was taken aback: "Uncle Fang, this is going to be a big battle!"

"Young Sect Master, this is not strange, didn't it just spread the news that our sect finally discovered the newly opened route?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to fight a small and medium-sized battle before!?" Wen Xinlong was a little nervous in his heart, this big battle came together, this is much more dangerous than a small battle!

"Young Sect Master, this can only mean that the situation has changed, either our side has a greater demand, or the Zhenbei King's side is too tightly blocked! Uncle Fang said and said: "Young Sect Master, you don't need to worry, although you are asked to cooperate with the army of Ji Xianguo, as a colt, you should not give you too many orders for the time being, and now our mission has been merged with the team you personally trained." ”

"What about merging together, you can't even sneak attack a village!" muttered Wen Xinlong.

"Young Sect Master, although I lack some experience, but the old slave wants to mention them here to be fair, they are not bad at all!

"Hmph! Zen Yuan Sect and Daughter Sect are not finished!"

......

Speaking of inside and outside the city, I have to talk about the disciples of the Yuezong at this time, when the collection order of the King of Zhenbei was just passed down, Yue Lingqing was sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, holding his chin with one hand and asking Ling Tianyue a question: "Senior sister! I know that we are going to forcibly transport a batch of goods, and it is expected to help and even participate in the battlefield, but look at the latest news, this is going to be a big war!

"How can you transport goods without a big war? Look at the blockade and strict investigation of this border by the king of Zhenbei! Think about the news from the receiving side, this is necessary, after all, some goods seem to be only delaying for some time now. Now that the border is blocked, a small war cannot be sent, so it can only be a big war! Maybe there are new considerations from above, or not?"

"New considerations?" Yue Lingqing looked at Ling Tianyue with some puzzlement, to see what she could say!

"For example, kill the King of Zhenbei!Destroy the defenses of the five city walls!" Ling Tianyue said the terrible result, but there was a hint of disgrace on her face.
