Thinking that the plan could go smoothly, Ye Zhiying finally showed a real smile, no longer as dull as before, but he was not happy for long, after all, there were still too many things to do.

"Okay, the lazy time is over!" Ye Zhiying stretched his waist and said with a yawn, "Brother Qin Wu, I still have to continue to think of a way, I have to untie his heart knot as soon as possible, just while he is still dull in the inn...... Alas, Brother Qin Wu, I'm sorry. ”

That night, many merchants who protested to no avail united and stopped entering the city, and even drafted an agreement to open a temporary market outside Yicheng City, in order to force Ye Zhiying to revise their policies and restore the previous situation of tax evasion, but it was obvious that Ye Zhiying would not let them succeed at all, as for opening a market outside Yicheng City?

In the union of many merchants, in addition to some of the footmen who follow the trend, there are also some chamber of commerce caravans with heads and faces, among which there is a team called the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, they are not only rich in assets, but also have their own armed forces at any time, you know, even in the post city, can have the armed forces openly, it can only be the city defense army of the post city and Yi Jiuzhong and other people in power, not to mention in those countries with strict classes, such as Yang Kingdom, but all those who form gangs and illegal assemblies will be severely punished, and this Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, just a caravan is equipped with at least 100 soldiers, among these 100 soldiers, there are two second-rate masters to suppress the formationAmong the other caravans present, there were very few who could be on par with them, and it could be said that they were one of the leaders of this group of merchants.

At this time, in the residence of the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Luo You, who was in charge of this caravan, looked at the reply sent by Zhu Jun with his subordinates.

After reading Zhu Jun's letter, Luo Youjian frowned and said, "It seems that City Lord Zhu can't help us now, and the other party is not willing to make the slightest concession on the matter of city entry tax." ”

Another of Luo You's subordinates said: "Although Zhu Junming is still the city lord now, in fact, Yicheng is already in the hands of the guy surnamed Ye. ”

As a big chamber of commerce, they naturally have some ways to find out about the recent changes in the post city, Luo You even thought about whether to notify the headquarters, so that the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce can also take the opportunity to take a piece of the pie recently and become a major force ruling the post city, but when he knew that there were two concentrating level powerhouses in the post city, and these two condensation level powerhouses were still in a state of joining forces, he immediately dispelled this idea, although he Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce has a strong background, but at most he relied on friendship to ask some first-class masters to help, and it was only for temporary help, it was impossible to work for them for a long time, as for the condensation level, it was already a level that ordinary people could not reach, Unless they can come up with something that makes them happy, they basically can't invite the God Condensation Rank master, so Luo You naturally no longer has any crooked thoughts.

"But this is too much!" another of Luo You's subordinates shouted excitedly, "We usually give them a lot of benefits for convenience, but what does this letter mean? What does it mean to 'just stay outside the city'? Now, even if we are the new rulers, they should not take us without mercy!"

"Okay, Zhu Jun just conveyed it to us truthfully, and it wasn't Zhu Jun who decided to do it. Luo You stopped, "Since it is a protest, then naturally there are cases where it will not be adopted, and didn't we already think about the plan after the protest was unsuccessful from the beginning?"

The more excited subordinate immediately said: "Yes, we set it up outside the city, anyway, his post city is just a convenient transit station for everyone, and it is not a place to really buy our goods, so we will wait for his post city to slowly decline, and then let that Ye Zhiying come and kneel and beg us to enter the city!"

"Having said that......" Luo You's eyes hesitated, and he muttered, "But I always feel that something is strange, why did Ye Zhiying deliberately ask Zhu Jun to convey to us that we should 'just stay outside the city'?"

Just when Luo You was wondering, there was a sudden noise outside the tent, and the sound kept approaching them, and Luo You and the two subordinates listened carefully.

One of his subordinates wondered, "What is this noise, why is it so noisy outside?"

After listening to it for a while, the other person's face gradually became a little panicked, and he said in disbelief: "This voice...... It seems to be a shout of killing?"

Just when he was just making a guess, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and two people quickly broke in.

Coming in, are the two second-rate masters who followed the caravan this time, these two are famous heroes in the rivers and lakes of the Han Kingdom, named Zhang Wei and Zhang Sheng, as two brothers, they have a tacit understanding in the battle, even if they meet first-class masters, they can resist, when Luo You saw the two strong men of the caravan, he was no longer so afraid of the shouting and killing outside.

"What's going on out there?" asked Luo You.

Zhang Xie said: "A group of bandits suddenly appeared outside, and they were fighting with the caravan guards at the moment. ”

"Bandits, where are the bandits?" Luo You wondered, although this post city is a free city, but in addition to not pursuing the fugitives who fled from all over the country, its own security is still very good, including the security outside the post city, Luo You has never heard of bandits around the post city, if the city is full of rabble, and there are bandits outside the city, how can merchants still trade? How can the post city still prosper?

Luo You asked, "How many of them are there?"

Zhang Wei replied: "About three or five hundred people. ”

"Three or five hundred?!" Luo You gasped, if it was a gang of a few dozen or so small bandits, it would be counted, three or five hundred, for the bandits, this was already a huge scale, and the guards they brought this time were only a hundred!

Zhang Sheng on the other side nodded and said, "But please rest assured Mr. Luo, with us, there won't be much trouble, but after all, there are a lot of bandits, and now the night is dark, in order to prevent accidents, please retreat to take refuge first." ”

"Okay, then please two of you!" Luo You immediately replied, for these two masters, Luo You still trusts them very much.

Soon, Luo You and his two men left the camp and retreated to the rear with many foot merchants, while Zhang Wei and Zhang Sheng went to the front to support the guards who were fighting with the bandits.

At this moment, the battle between the guards and the bandits was fierce, but the bandits were outnumbered, and the caravan guards were gradually defeated, but as soon as Zhang Xie and Zhang Sheng joined the battle, the situation was reversed in an instant.
