Chapter 71

After everyone left, Cai Ze said to the three of them: "Sir, the officials are so high-spirited that they must not be here for appointment. Is there something important?"

Dr. Chen Liu scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The smoke in Mang's kitchen is gradually extinguishing, and he is eager to receive help from Chenliu Valley, so he sent his eldest son to come in person. He has no other intention."

Cai Zedao: "In that case, Chenliu's Valley will definitely arrive today, and the eldest son can go home and wait for him."

Mang Yin said: "Cai Qing is still here, who sent him home?"

Cai Zedao: "You don't need to ask too much, I will pay you in the morning and at sunset in the evening. The grain and vegetables will definitely arrive and be delivered directly to your door."

Dr. Chen Liu said: "Cai Qing, why don't you tell the truth in front of me? Why are you trying to make things up?"

Cai Zedao: "This matter is feasible but cannot be said. If you and I don't know it, then great things can be accomplished. If it is revealed, it will immediately fail."

Dr. Chen Liu wanted to press for more questions, but Mr. Hu Zhong dissuaded him and said, "Since Cai Qing is in control, Mang will thank you first. After the success, he will definitely reward you."

Cai Zedao said: "There is no need to pay him. If you bring more people and cars, you want to escort me back to the city. I will just tie you up. Why do you need to do such a big job!" After saying this, the sound of rolling carts was heard in the distance.

Mr. Hu Zhong's face turned slightly red and he said with a smile: "In addition to urging the grain trucks to be transported, the eldest son also has official duties. I can borrow the manpower of Chen Liu."

Cai Zedao: "In that case, I have to say retreat!" He gave a loose salute and turned to leave. Mr. Hu Zhong quickly stopped and said, "Cai Qing, please wait. The eldest son is out of the city and has to shoulder the important responsibilities of the family and the country. Cai Qing is a great talent. Dare you

Please lend a helping hand!”

Cai Zedao: "My official's retainers are not Mang's retainers, so they dare not obey orders!"

Dr. Chen Liu shouted awkwardly: "Don't be rude!"

Cai Zedao: "The doctor is a retainer of the Mang family. If the Mang family has something to do, it is not the job of a doctor, but it is not the job that a minister dares to do."

Doctor Chen Liu said: "In that case, I order you to listen to Mr. Hu Zhong and let him drive you."

Cai Zedao: "First, the official ordered his ministers to transport grain to Mang's Mansion in Daliang. However, the grain has not yet arrived, and the minister's mission has not been fulfilled, so he did not dare to accept the order. Or the minister exempted him from the order of transporting grain, so he naturally allowed himself to be driven."

When Dr. Chen Liu was about to speak, Mr. Hu Zhong quickly stopped him and said, "I'm just being reckless. I have a mission and I don't dare to work. You can do it yourself!"

Just as we were talking, Chen Liu's three-car reinforcement team had arrived. Seeing Mang Yin and three others talking to Cai Ze, everyone in the car stopped the car at a distance, got out of the car and waited. Unexpectedly, they saw Cai Ze carelessly.

He bowed and walked away, seemingly not seeing the most powerful people in Chenliu City.

Doctor Chen Liu stopped talking and had to look at Mang Yin, and Mang Yin also looked at Mr. Hu Zhong with confusion. Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Cai Qing coincides with a certain person, and he is the only one who transports grain into the city.

The way. Now that Cai Qing has come forward, we have just retreated and it is important to do business."

Mang Yin said in surprise: "Business? Isn't business just transporting grain? Also, what exactly are Mr. and Cai Qing planning? I would like to teach you."

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Without him, it's just the end of things."

Mang Yin was still puzzled and asked: "What's the end?"

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Buy the grain with the merchants outside the city, and then buy it from the merchants in the city, that's all!"

Mang Yin suddenly said: "How do grain trucks from outside the city enter the city?"

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "There is no need to enter the city for grain carts outside the city. They can be bought by any merchant outside the city."

Mang Yin said: "I see, that's wonderful! There is no need for grain trucks to enter the city, but the grain has already arrived. Wouldn't it be convenient from now on?"

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Do you know the way of a merchant?"

Mang Yin said in astonishment: "I don't know."

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "To whom will such a big man buy the goods, and from which family will he enter?"

Seeing the confused look on Mangyin's face, Mr. Hu Zhong persuaded him: "Dragons have their own ways, and snakes have their own ways. The eldest son only needs to take care of the temple. Li Shu will take care of the rivers and lakes, so you don't have to worry about it."

Come on!" Then regardless of Mang Yin's confusion, he called to Dr. Chen Liu and said, "Doctor, please find a secluded place where we can discuss matters."

Doctor Chen Liu then walked to the distance for three rides and asked a few questions. Then he came back and said: "Not far from here is the Chuitai ruins. Climb up and look far away. The scenery is clear and leisurely. There are few people around. It is only a mile away from Daliang.

It is expected that there will be no disturbance from other people. There is a pavilion above it, which can be used not only for sightseeing but also for discussion."

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "What do you think?"

Mang Yin said: "It all depends on Mr.

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Just ask the doctor to arrange it."

Dr. Chen Liu then turned around and walked to the other three carriages. He gave a few instructions and discussed something, then turned back and said, "I will invite the two noble men to board the carriage and set off."

The three of them got on the bus. Mr. Hu Zhong was still driving, and Dr. Chen Liu was on the right side of the car. All three of them were dressed in green clothes. While the three of them were getting on the bus, the three cars in the distance were slowly approaching in a line.

The people saluted. Mang Yin slightly raised his hand, and Dr. Chen Liu said: "Your Excellency Qing Jin, it is inconvenient for me to salute you, but please do it!"

Following the words, the car in the middle drove out first and headed north. Mr. Hu Zhong then lightly shook the reins and followed about ten feet behind the car in front. The other two cars were separated on the left and right, surrounding the car of Mang Yin and others.

In the center, the four chariots formed a formation and headed northwest.

The blowing platform is only twenty miles away. It is a low mound lying under the corner tower of Daliang City. At this time, the sky is gradually getting brighter, and in the silent air, the sound of the car travels very far. The soldiers on the city wall have long noticed

He caught the carriages outside Xinli and sounded the alarm. The officers came up to look at them, but they did not dare to act alone, so they called Uncle Zu up again. By the time Uncle Zu went to the city, the four carriages had already approached the edge of the city five miles away.

Even the figures of people could be seen clearly. Uncle Zou observed for a while and said: "There are only four vehicles, which is not a big problem, but watch where they go. They may be business travelers or envoys, but they must not be enemies. No need.

Report." The car came closer, and Uncle Zu said: "Wearing green trousers, I'm sure he's a business traveler... Well, he stopped in front of the blowing platform... got out of the car. Could he be a spy?... The bow and crossbow are ready...

...They came up to the stage and were spying...too far away to shoot." The soldier was chattering, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes giving orders, and hundreds of soldiers gathered around him with their crossbows and arrows ready.

One person said: "Perhaps he is really on a business trip, going up to Chuitai to enjoy the scenery."

"Look at your mother! What a pass it is now, dare to look at the scenery." Uncle Zub cursed rudely.

"Look, look, they are sitting down, as if they are discussing something!" Another soldier said.

"Shoot a loud arrow to drive them away." Uncle Zub finally made up his mind. If this group of people were discussing on the stage, he would never be at peace. He would always observe their movements. Drive them away and be done with it.

A soldier came over, stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot a noisy arrow. The so-called noisy arrow was just a whistle made of bamboo tubes attached to the arrow shaft, which made a sharp sound in flight. This kind of arrow could not shoot far.

, it can’t shoot accurately, it only serves as a warning.

As an arrow was shot, a sharp whistle cut through the morning light. It was obvious that the people on the blowing platform turned around and looked back, but there was also the sound of running on the city wall - people at other city gates heard the sound of the arrow warning and ran away.

Come and get some news.

Uncle Zou obviously didn't expect that a casually fired arrow would cause such a big noise. He looked slightly embarrassed, but he said rudely: "It's nothing serious. I've driven away a few spies!" As he said this, he pointed to the blowing stand.

.

Several people on the blowing stage seemed to understand the meaning of the sounding arrow. They all stood up, walked slowly along the blowing stage to the other side, and got off the stage.
