Chapter 38 If Master Hua is unhappy, no one can enter the city!

Hua Duxiu rushed to Shen Lijia's side, greeted Shen Feng, Ren Biaotou and others, frowned and asked , " Jiajia, how are you?"

Shen Lijia said , " Brother-in-law, I thought about it. The war has just ended. Our brothers are tired and we are short of manpower. Even if we take action, we can't stop them now, so why not let them go!"

Hua Duxiu , " Oh?"

Shen Lijia continued , " The spies just sent back news that a large group of officers and soldiers left the Governor's Mansion and marched towards the city gates. I guessed that, brother-in-law, you must have taken care of the locking of the city!"

"In that case, let the Shenwei Escorts come! Let them feel the pain of not being able to enter the city!"

Hua Duxiu smiled and said , " You are still the bad boy!"

"What's this?"

Hua Duxiu asked , " Why are there so few people? In the previous battle, our casualties were not so heavy, right?"

Shen Lijia lowered his voice and said mysteriously , " Zhang Huzi and Liu Biaotou each led fifty people and took the guys to dig for treasures!"

Hua Duxiu was surprised , " So urgent?"

Shen Lijia said , " It will be dark soon. There will be no pedestrians on the official road after dark, which is convenient for us to transfer the treasure!"

Hua Duxiu said speechlessly , " Well, leave early and settle down early. You are doing the right thing."

While they were chatting, a spy rushed over and said loudly:

"Big shopkeeper, young shopkeeper, the cavalry team from Shenwei Escort Agency has arrived!"

Shen Lijia glanced at Hua Duxiu. Hua Duxiu covered her face with a black scarf again and said in a deep voice , " You have to do it, do it to them."

Shen Lijia smiled darkly and said , " Brother-in-law, just watch the show! I'll kill them!"

Shen Feng, Shen Lijia, Ren Escort Leader and others were all covered in black scarves, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, leading the Arima brothers to rush towards the Shenwei Escort Agency.

Their mission this time is not to kill people, let alone rob escorts, but to disgust you, tickle you, and annoy you to death!

You want to fight?

Come on, I'll run away immediately. Do you dare to chase me?

You don't want to chase? Then I will circle around you all the time, set up my bow and shoot arrows, insult and ridicule you, and do whatever I can to you!

Not just now, but for days!

As long as the city gate is not open and you can't enter the city, don't even think about having a good time!

You cannot eat with peace of mind, sleep with peace of mind, cannot defecate with peace of mind, and cannot do anything with peace of mind!

Song Yao and Song Qingzheng watched as nearly a hundred black-clad bandits whizzed past and a hail of arrows flew towards them, and they were so angry that their lungs were about to explode.

But there was no other way. The Demon-Breaking City was right before their eyes. They could only grit their teeth and hold on, trying to get into the city as soon as possible to deliver the goods.

Kill out?

nonexistent.

Who knows if this is a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain? The Hua family is so cunning, we can't be careless!

Song Yao made up his mind that no matter how the other party provoked him, he would never leave the escort team.

You guys are so awesome, come and rob it?

We have a large group of people guarding the gate of Heqimen. If you dare to come and rob us, we will kill you!

Song Yao gritted his teeth and said , " Qing Zheng, order the troops to speed up and enter the city quickly!"

Song Qingzheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said , " Yes, Master!"

Humph, as long as we enter the city, City Lord Zhao will naturally send more people to maintain order. We will drive to the Governor's Mansion smoothly and complete this escort contract!

By that time, Hua, your good days will be over!

Flower stands out!

Not only can you not get your little red sword back, you can't even think of leaving Baibao Manor on your own!

Song Yao took a deep breath, looked at the setting sun, and thought to himself , " The sun is about to set..."

A genius like you is about to fall!

After traveling for a while, the majestic South Tower of Po Mo City appeared in the eyes of everyone in the Shenwei Escort Agency.

"finally reached!"

Song Yao let out a long sigh, turned around to look at the annoying horse bandits who were like flies staring at a pooping butt, and gritted his teeth and said to himself:

"Hua, you're lucky this time. I didn't kill you! But don't worry. Lord Shangguan has already planned the next move. Let's play slowly..."

Just as he was thinking about it, Song Qingzheng beside him suddenly shouted , " Ah!"

Song Yao was startled and frowned as he asked , " Qingzheng, what are you yelling about?"

Song Qingzheng said , " I...look at the city, there are so many people surrounding it?"

Song Yao squinted his eyes and looked, and sure enough, under the tall city wall, countless people gathered below, they were excited and shouting loudly, but they just refused to enter the city.

Song Yao was surprised , " Why don't they go into the city? What are they arguing at the gate?"

After a while, a spy came on horseback and reported , " Master! Demon-Breaking City has been blocked by the officers and soldiers of the Governor's Office. All the city gates are closed at the same time. No one can enter the city!"

Song Yao was shocked , " When did it happen?"

The spy said , " The city gates have just been closed, less than half an hour!"

Song Qingzheng was furious , " Half an hour! Those bastards tried their best to stop us, I'm afraid they are just trying to delay us!"

Song Yao was relatively calm, thinking to himself: It was the governor who sealed off the entire city, and the Hua family and Black Wind Village got the news in advance, what does this mean?

First, did the Governor deliberately leak the news so that the Hua family could be prepared?

Second, Hua took the initiative to persuade the Governor to seal off the entire city?

Third, were there other reasons that caused the Governor to blockade the entire city, and Hua was just taking advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire?

After much thought, there was no result.

All three of the above situations are possible, but they all have loopholes.

Firstly, as the governor, even if he wanted to do something, his starting point would be very high. How could he release the news to allow merchants like Hua family and bandits from Black Wind Village to come and besiege the government’s escort silver?

You know, what the Shenwei Escort Agency escorted were military funds that were to be sent to the Governor's Office.

Mess with yourself?

impossible.

Even if Shangguan Jie wanted to deal with the governor, it was unlikely that the governor would be able to manage his own military expenses.

Money is innocent!

Once you enter the Governor's Mansion, it's yours!

Second, Hua persuaded the Governor to blockade the entire city?

This also seems unlikely.

Why did they lock down the city? Was it really to keep the Shenwei Escort Agency out of the city?

What benefits will this bring to the Governor's Office?

Even if there are benefits, Hua probably doesn't have the power to convince the governor to lock the city, right?

Locking the city is no small matter. Didn’t you see the people below the city wall shouting and yelling, wanting to enter the city?

There is no home to return to, and more and more travelers are stuck outside, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

Governor Peng has been transferred to Kunmo Valley for less than half a year. I heard that he is extremely cautious and would never do something like mobilizing troops to lock the city lightly.

After much thought, only the third point is more reliable.

Is there something else happening in the city?

As a result, even a cautious man like Peng Tianlin would risk the world's condemnation, mobilize the army, bypass the Lord of Po Mo City, and directly blockade the entire city?

What will happen?

What role does the Hua family play in it?

When they arrived at the foot of the city, Song Yao ordered: set up camp on the spot and defend it with all your strength.

At a glance from Song Yao, Song Qingzheng arrived just below the city wall. The city wall was full of soldiers, among whom was a commander-like man who was looking down at the huge convoy of the Shenwei Escort Agency.

Song Qingzheng immediately shouted , " General upstairs! We are the escort company that is transporting taxes to Yanyu County. The car is full of military funds for you! Please open the city gate quickly!"

The commander was none other than Hadanbaatar, a general under Governor Peng Tianlin.

Hadanbaatar is tall and strong, like an iron tower.

His eyes were full of indifference. He waved his hands and said only one word , " Get lost!"

Song Qingzheng's old face immediately turned green.

Song Yao's face also looked extremely ugly.

Damn, what’s going on?

We are thousands of miles away to send you military expenses?

If you don't let me in, you won't let me in. Why are you still cursing?

What qualities!

The people near the city gate looked at the Shenwei Escorts with strange eyes.

How embarrassing?

Song Qingzheng looked back at Song Yao, his lips trembling slightly.

Song Yao said , " Forget it, let's stabilize our position first."

Song Qingzheng could only nod.

The horse bandits in Heifeng Village were galloping like a gust of wind again. The people in the city were frightened when they saw the swords in the bandits' hands, and they became silent for a rare moment.

Shen Lijia held up a shining machete and shouted wildly , " Robbery! Robbery!"

The people were even more afraid. Some people banged on the city gates and cried out to enter the city.

Hua Duxiu frowned and whispered , " Why are you scaring them?"

Shen Lijia chuckled , " I want to scare them away! Otherwise, there are so many people here, which will delay things!"

Hua Duxiu said , " Then you should shout a few more words. Can you scare people away just by shouting robbery?"

Shen Lijia scratched his head , " Then should I shout robbery?"

"Shout, shout harder."

"oh."

Shen Lijia led several bandits to rush to the city wall and shouted wildly , " The Tiger Gang is robbing! If you don't want to die, leave quickly! I will rob anyone who stays at the south gate!"

The people and merchants under the city were all confused: Are you going to rob or not?

Are you going to let us go, or are you going to rob us?

Tell me clearly, young hero!

Shen Lijia saw that the people were trembling with fear, but no one moved, and he continued to shout speechlessly:

"Get out of here quickly! The Tiger Gang is about to start a killing spree. If you don't want to die, leave now!"

The rest of the horse bandits in Heifeng Village exchanged fire with the Shenwei Escorts for a while. The people saw that this was a duel between two gangs, and the target was not civilians like them, so they quickly packed up and left.

Now they understood.

Soon, a large number of people who were crowded downstairs in Nancheng fled completely.

Fleeed to several other city gates.

It was getting dark, and everyone in Shenwei Escort lit a bonfire, changing shifts to prepare for food.

There is no way, people are iron, food is steel, what can't be done without eating?

I'm so hungry!

The bandits in Black Wind Village are also very tired, but they have the initiative, right?

Dozens of people were sent out in waves to shoot arrows and curse. When they got tired of cursing, they left and another group came.

well.

Song Yao was a little depressed.

According to the plan, they should have the complete upper hand in this confrontation.

The Hua family's escort team encountered problems in Pomo City, the governor was furious, the Hua family went bankrupt, and there was a huge gap in military funds.

Then the taxes of Yanyu County were paid smoothly, and Shangguan Jie gained the favor of the military generals.

Then, Shangguan Jie began to push for big moves behind the scenes.

Is this the normal rhythm?

Unexpectedly, Hua was so cunning that he arranged hundreds of bandits to dress up as officials and yamen runners to break their plan.

Although several carts of silver were robbed, given the Hua family's financial resources, it shouldn't be too difficult to pay the compensation.

Even if you suffer serious injuries, you will not go bankrupt overnight.

Song Yao sighed , " Alas."

Never mind. The news will soon get out and the truth behind the city lockdown will come to light.

The current plan is to complete this escort contract smoothly, then threaten the Hua family to compensate for the losses, and then ask the leader of the "Sticky Rod Division" to get rid of Hua Duxiu openly, and this confrontation will come to an end.

Song Yao waited silently, and sure enough, an hour later, a man wrapped in a black robe came in front of Song Yao.

The man looked at Song Yao carefully and said , " Master Song, I am Zhao Yinjian, an aide to Lord Zhao of Demon Breaking City. I am here to communicate intelligence on the orders of the Lord."

Song Yao nodded , " Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yin Jian."

Zhao Yinjian's eyes moved.

He hated being called "Silver Sword" the most.

Don't try to get close to me. Either call me Zhao Yinjian, or call me Brother Zhao, or just Old Zhao.

What is his name “Brother Silver Sword”?

Damn it.

You deserve to be schemed against by the Hua family. You can't even speak or chat. You deserve it!

Song Yao coughed lightly and asked , " Brother Jian, what instructions does City Lord Zhao have?"

Zhao Yinjian took a deep breath and said slowly , " You guys have to be careful! The whole city is on lockdown this time, the Hua family has a big conspiracy inside!"
