Chapter 170 The fifth is all the fault of refined iron

Yufeng City is located on the main north-south traffic road, with mountains on the left and Yulong River on the right. If this is not the case, Zhu Tianjiang would rather take a detour than pass through the city.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city saw that the convoy was not small, and immediately regained their spirits.Especially the modified gun carriage, the gun barrel was wrapped in coarse cloth, which was very conspicuous, which immediately attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers.

"What are you doing, stop for inspection." Six officers and soldiers walked over brazenly, led by a small leader.

Xia Qing hurriedly walked over, "Yeah~ Masters, we are a caravan going to the Tianqing Country to do business in Guannei, please raise your hands and give me a small bowl of rice." Xia Qing said, holding a cloth He walked over and quietly handed it to the little boss.

Xia Qing's experience in the arena is very rich, and he knows that he can usually get past such a person with a little money.

The boss took the cloth pocket and weighed it, his eyes immediately showed joy.Xia Qing was afraid that Dafeng's banknotes would not be circulated here, so he specially withdrew a lot of silver.Although this cloth pocket may not look big, there are a full 100 taels of silver in it.

The little boss put the cloth bag on his waist without showing any signs of expression, pretending to be business-like, and said, "Uncle Guo said that there have been a lot of spies in the south recently, and we need to strictly investigate. Come, let's take a look at the car." What's on it."

The little boss gave an order, and several soldiers under him walked over with their guns in hand.Xia Qing knew that since the other party had accepted the money, he was going through the motions at most, so he didn't care.

Except for the carriage that Zhu Tianxiang and Lin Feng were riding in, the other vehicles were loaded with a lot of tea and salt.None of these things, nor does it look like a caravan.A few soldiers took what they had in their pockets, but Zhu Yi and the others just pretended they didn't see it and let them take as much as they could.

"What is this?" The little boss walked to the front of the cannon carriage and looked at it suspiciously.

"My lord, this is a giant tethering post specially made by a horse dealer in Tianqing Kingdom." Xia Qing said with a smile.

"Horse post? Open it and have a look." The little boss said curiously.

Xia Qing looked distressed, "My lord, it's very troublesome to tie the horse post, so don't look at it." Xia Qing said in his heart that as long as he opened it, it didn't look like it was used to tie a horse.

"No, if it's a contraband, I can't handle it if something happens. Come and open it." The little boss wanted to see what such a big horse-holding post looked like.

Xia Qingxin said that all the prohibited standard knives and guns were hidden under the car, and you wouldn't even recognize these things when you opened them.In desperation, Xia Qing had no choice but to order someone to untie the rope.

Zhu Tianjiang got out of the car and looked at all this with a frown.He didn't want to cause trouble, but this cannon car was too ostentatious, and even people who had never seen it would suspect that it was used for war after seeing the overall appearance.

As expected, when the cannon cart was opened, the little boss and several soldiers were dumbfounded and started talking around the cart.At this time, there were quite a few people around the city gate, all of whom were looking at this novel horse-holding post.Not only the common people, but even the officers and soldiers on the top of the city stretched their heads to watch.

The little boss rolled his eyes, whispered a few words to the people around him, stood up and said to Xia Qing, "Are you the owner of this convoy?"

"Hmm~ yes." Xia Qing nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry, this horse stake is a contraband, and the officer will confiscate it."

This little boss is not stupid, although he has never seen a cannon.But the gun body is made of fine iron, even if it is broken open and sold to a blacksmith's shop, it is still a lot of income.

"My lord, this is not acceptable. They paid a huge sum of money to build this thing. If you confiscate it, we won't be able to compensate you." Xia Qing was startled, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

"What are you talking about? Uncle Guo said that fine iron itself is a contraband and is not allowed to be bought or sold. Come and pull this car aside." The little boss gave orders, and several soldiers came over to lead the horse.

"Wait a minute, my lord, I have something to say~!" Xia Qing quickly grabbed the little boss and asked someone to carry another bag of silver.

Who would have imagined that this little boss would say nothing.After his visual inspection, the fine iron of the 'horse tethering post' was smashed, and at least it could be sold for a thousand taels of silver.

Zhu Tianxiang frowned slightly, and asked Zhu Yi in a low voice, "How many soldiers and horses are stationed in this Jade Sealed City?"

"According to the news from Zhu Er, there are about 500 people including the arresters in the city. Dafeng soldiers and horses are stationed at Hukou Pass, and Zhou Yantian did not deploy heavy troops here. According to the informant, Zhou Yantian is returning to the northwest. Mountain cities train soldiers and horses, so there are not many people in ordinary cities." Zhu said in a small voice.

Zhu Tianxiang's face turned cold, "Notify the brothers to prepare, if it doesn't work, they will kill them. Two thousand people are fighting in the city, and they don't have much fighting power. As long as they get out of Yufeng City, these guys will never dare to pursue them."

Zhu took a look at Xia Qing who was talking nicely, nodded, and gestured to the brother.After Zhu Yi gave the order silently, twenty brothers took advantage of the confusion and walked quietly towards the city gate.As long as there is a move here, they will immediately deal with the officers and soldiers on the city gate.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a wealthy businessman ran out of the city.While running, he shouted, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding~ Liu Baihu, you can't stop this convoy."

Hearing the shout, everyone was taken aback.The little boss looked at the middle-aged wealthy businessman, and after being slightly taken aback, he hurried over with a smile.

"Hey, shopkeeper Feng, why are you here? Why, do you know this convoy?" The little boss asked politely.

"Hi! The flood has washed up on the Dragon King Temple. This caravan belongs to my child's grandma's. I just received a letter from my family a few days ago, and I didn't expect it to come so soon. Liu Baihu, please save face." The young man said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, which one of us is with whom, in the future, your shopkeeper Feng will speak a few words of kindness in front of the Lord City Lord, and the little ones will know your great kindness.

After the little boss finished speaking, he turned around and waved his hand, "What are you looking at, Master Feng is here, and you guys are still not backing down."

The soldiers quickly let go of the horse's reins and retreated to the side.The shopkeeper Feng walked over with a smile, and each of them paid a reward.

Zhu Tianxiang looked at it strangely, wondering who this shopkeeper Feng was and why he came to help them suddenly.Xia Qing and Zhu Yi kept vigilant, and Daniel carefully stood beside Zhu Tianxiang holding the iron rod.

Shopkeeper Feng greeted the soldiers before walking up to Zhu Tianjiang.Shopkeeper Feng saw the soldiers walking back to the city gate, so he whispered, "Excuse me, are you Master Zhu?"

Zhu Tianjiang was taken aback, "Oh, guest officer, you have misunderstood the person, my surname is Lin." Zhu Tianjiang said, winking at Zhu Yi.Now that the other party knew his identity, Zhu Tian became even more suspicious.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, Suzaku made Master Mu Qi's subordinate Feng Xiaoxiao at the sticky pole, and has been waiting for Master Mu Qi's arrival for the past few days under the order of Master Mu Qi." gesture.

Zhu Tianxiang couldn't understand it at all, but Lin Feng in the car could see it clearly, "Tianxiang is the person at the sticky pole." Lin Feng said.

The four envoys at the sticky pole have their own code words, if Zhu Er was there, they would be able to recognize them.Don't look at Zhu Yi as Qinglongwei, but he didn't move the secret words of Suzaku's subordinates.Fortunately, with Lin Feng following him, he knew all the secret words by heart.

Now Zhu Tianxiang was relieved, and quickly ordered someone to re-bind the cannon carriage.It seems that shopkeeper Feng has a good relationship with the city lord here, and the strength of the sticky pole is once again reflected.

Zhu Tianjiang didn't dare to live in the city, and under the personal leadership of shopkeeper Feng, he quickly passed through Yufeng City.

"Shopkeeper Feng, please inform the brothers in front of the city to wait at the city gate for the next two days. If what happened today happens again, I can only rely on the help of you brothers." Zhu Tianjiang said sincerely.

"Lord Zhu, don't worry, if you go north, you don't need to enter other cities, you can go around the city directly. But the Beicheng Pass at the border of Dafeng and Tianqing is the place you must pass. I will send a letter to Beicheng Pass immediately Brothers, let them take care of everything and help you get out of the customs smoothly."

"Thank you very much. If you are free in the future, I will treat Shopkeeper Feng to a drink." Zhu Tianxiang said with his fists clasped.

Shopkeeper Feng bid farewell to Zhu Yi and the others one by one, and Zhu Tianjiang led the convoy to continue northward.Now that there are people at the sticky pole to help, the journey will be easy.He was afraid that something would go wrong on the way before he arrived at the Sky Blue Country.

It took only half a day for Zhu Tianjiang to leave Yufeng City, but the news about his "horse tethering post" made of refined iron quickly spread in Zhou Yantian's territory.

In less than two days, Zhou Yantian also received the news.Knowing that someone used thousands of kilograms of fine iron to build a 'horse tethering post', Zhou Yantian immediately thought that the secret agents of Tianqing Kingdom smuggled the fine iron.Refined iron is a sought-after commodity anywhere, and even in Tianqing it is even more contraband.When a few thousand catties of refined iron arrives in the Azure Country, they can forge a batch of excellent weapons.

Zhou Yantian was not sure whether it was the Yangjin tribe or the Wu tribe who were smuggling this batch of refined iron. It would be fine if it was the Wu tribe, they had already reached an agreement in secret.If it was smuggled by the Yangjin clan, it would be bad for Zhou Yantian.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yantian immediately gave an order to go to the North Pass at full speed, and stop the caravan no matter what.
