Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Haha, what's wrong? What do you think happened to us appearing here?"

The leading man was about thirty years old, with a slightly yellow complexion and a mustache on his upper lip.

He walked out from the team that was surrounding the group, laughed, tugged at the clothes on his chest with his left hand, and pointed at the words on it!

Then his face darkened, and he looked at the caravan with a sinister look, and scratched the ground fiercely with the sword in his hand.

"What's wrong? You have smuggled salt in such a large amount. You have already violated the laws of the imperial dynasty. Why don't you just surrender and wait for your punishment?"

With a swish, as the man spoke, the officers and soldiers around him all drew their swords. A murderous aura emerged and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Private salt? Did the officials misunderstand?"

Sun Baoquan suddenly smiled, put on a kind look, and explained.

"Sir, we are carrying so much cargo, how could it be smuggled salt? Even if they want us, they want food. Who can eat so much salt in today's world?"

Sun Baoquan said with a chuckle, then took out a small bag of silver from his arms and handed it to the leading man.

"I hope the official will be flexible. The world is so difficult, and it is not easy for our family to run a business. I hope the official can give me face and let it go. Let it go."

"I, Sun Baoquan, will have to deal with you more in the future, and it will hurt our relationship."

While flattering, Sun Baoquan directed the people around him to give silver to those officers and soldiers. His meaning was obvious. He had transported goods not only once, but would transport more goods in the future. He hoped that this group of people would not over-fish. He would pay the toll. Wouldn't it be better for the two of them to benefit from each other in the future than to kill them all with one blow?

As a businessman, Sun Baoquan was well aware of the style of these officers and soldiers. It was not so bad in peacetime, with the emperor governing them from above and the people supervising them from below. Not to mention anything else, these officers and soldiers were at least good. But in this period, it was different. Poor mountains and bad waters produced unruly people. This remote county court, without the constraints of the court, was dominated by one family, and the bandits were not only bandits but worse than bandits.

Therefore, Sun Baoquan cooperated very well and handed over the silver, hoping that the greed of these people would make them understand that it is not feasible to drain the pond to catch all the fish.

Sun Baoquan thought that everything would be fine, but he didn't expect that the man in the lead accepted the toll he gave him, weighed the bag, and then turned his face against him.

"Sun Baoquan? The famous businessman named Sun nearby? All right then! For your sake, we brothers will accept the toll, but your team still needs to be inspected, and you..."

The man put away the bag and looked at Wang Wei and others with interest.

"You don't look like merchants... And the swords in your hands seem to be quite fine. I think you are very likely to be suspected of rebelling against the people and sneaking into the caravan to do something bad. You also need to be inspected!"

"Brothers, search..."

"Ah, this... official..."

Before Sun Baoquan could react, the officers and soldiers were ready to take action.

Now not only Sun Baoquan, but even Wang Wei realized that this group of officers and soldiers probably already knew who they were and what they were transporting!

This group of people come with bad intentions!

What do you mean by suspected anti-people? I'm afraid these officers and soldiers know who they are.

Longting County's move was so big, how could the surrounding counties not know about it? So many refugees passed through the county courts, but did not stay in the county courts. Anyone who was not blind could feel that something was wrong.

Regardless of whether the surrounding counties and courts sent personnel or not, the number of suspicious people arrested in Longting County alone was already twenty or thirty.

You said there was no handiwork from the surrounding counties, but Wang Wei didn't believe it. He was afraid that the purpose of these officers and soldiers was them! After all, Sun Baoquan had already established connections to transport private salt, and agreed on how much bribes to give to the superiors every year. On the surface, it seemed to be illegal, but secretly it had become a consensus! So the excuses of the officers and soldiers were equivalent to turning their backs on people, and they were obviously well prepared.

"There's some trouble now."

Looking at the number of people that was several times larger than his own, Wang Wei frowned. It seemed that this matter could not be resolved peacefully!

In just a moment, Wang Wei thought a lot. He made a gesture to the brothers around him without leaving a trace, then slowly approached Sun Baoquan and wrote something on the other's back with his index finger through his clothes as a hint.

The panicked Sun Baoquan was stunned at first, then looked at Wang Wei beside him. After getting the other party's confirming look, his eyes sank, he exhaled slowly, and then smiled again.

"Sir, how could we be anti-civilian? As good citizens, we will definitely not do anything against the law. Don't bother me, brothers. I'll ask the team to help you untie the tarpaulin."

"You, you, why don't you help the officials quickly?"

He lowered his voice severely when he heard the word "take action".

"Yes, yes! Master, we got it."

“We’ll do it right away!”

The leading man was a little suspicious. He instructed his brothers to get closer and check. Looking at Sun Baoquan's expression, could it be that their information was wrong?

"what--"

Just as the man was thinking, suddenly, a scream interrupted his thoughts.

"Kill! Get out!"

Suddenly, the caravan members who were about to untie the tarpaulin pulled out a machete from the car, and chopped off the officers and soldiers behind them' heads without warning. Blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over the ground.

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 370 Chapter Three People's Plan to Break Out of Dragon Court

"what!!!"

"Oh no! Stop them!"

Suddenly, countless unsuspecting officers and soldiers had their heads chopped off, and Wang Wei took the opportunity to raise his sword and ordered the people around him to suddenly take action and stab to death the officers and soldiers around them who wanted to confiscate their swords.

And all this happened in just a short moment! The riot began!!

The sudden attack and the divine-like sharp blade in his hand easily broke through the encirclement like cutting tofu!

"Quick, Master Sun! Let's break out!"

Wang Wei shouted.

"But... salt!"

"Forget the salt. Life is more important!"

Wang Wei grabbed Sun Baoquan's hand, pulled him over, and then led the rest of the caravan to rush towards the gap they had opened!

"Stop them! Stop them! The county magistrate wants to catch them red-handed!"

"Quick! Don't let them escape!!"

Soon, the man reacted and called on the people around him to chase Wang Wei and others, slashing at them with swords!

Faced with numerous enemies, Wang Wei and his party could only fight and retreat, resisting with great effort!

Fortunately, their weapons were very powerful, and after a period of rich nutrition and exercise, except for the lack of combat experience in the beginning, they seemed to have gradually gotten used to it. They started to fight back and forth and gradually gained the upper hand. Even when the other side had slightly more people, the Longting Army, with abundant physical strength and sharp blades in their hands, still had the upper hand.

With just a few slashes, the opponent's weapon was cut off. With one more blow, blood gushed out and he fell to the ground unconscious!

Wang Wei was overjoyed when he saw this. He had originally thought that he would have to fight a tough battle before he could leave. Who could have imagined that the enemy's weapons were so vulnerable.

But this is not surprising. This place is vast and sparsely populated. It is not as prosperous as the south, and there are few bandit problems. Therefore, the equipment has been covered in dust in the warehouse for a long time, and some have been rusted. Naturally, it is not as sharp as the blade bestowed by Kato Megumi. In addition, the Longting Army is well-trained. They have three meals a day. Although they don't have meat for every meal, at least the nutrition is enough. Compared with this group of officers and soldiers, their physical condition is naturally much better.

Therefore, when the two sides clashed, by the time the Longting Army got used to how to fight, the situation of the battle was in their hands.

However, just when Wang Wei thought they could capture the soldiers and take back the goods, suddenly, dust rose up behind them. Wang Wei had a bad feeling and looked around...

I saw a large group of people rushing here, and judging from their clothes, they were the reinforcements of this group of officers and soldiers!

"It's reinforcements! We have reinforcements, hold on, brothers!"

Seeing this, the men raised their arms and their low morale suddenly rose again. But it was the opposite for Wang Wei. He panicked when he saw the reinforcements coming.

They have the upper hand now because of their weapons and physical strength, but two fists are no match for four palms. They will definitely not be able to resist that large number of reinforcements and will only be trapped in the siege and exhausted to death.

Seeing this, Wang Wei acted decisively and quickly asked the people around him to evacuate.

"Retreat! Safety first, retreat!"

He was very decisive. After determining that the reinforcements were disadvantageous to his side and that they could not win the battle, he decisively ordered Sun Baoquan's men to retreat to Longting County first, while they, the Longting Army, were the rear guard.

They thought it would be difficult for them to retreat, but they didn't expect that the enemy would just give a slight pursuit and then retreat. Wang Wei didn't think much about it and quickly called on the people around him to evacuate quickly.

No matter why the other party stopped chasing, it was a good thing for them!

On the other hand, the familiar subordinates around the man were also puzzled when they saw the man give the order to stop the pursuit.

"Sir, our reinforcements are here, aren't they? Why don't we pursue them while we're victorious? Why let them go? What if the county magistrate blames us?"

The man frowned and looked at his panting brother beside him and the stumps at his feet.

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy, do you understand?!"

"Besides, what if the reinforcements come? They are so far away from us. By the time they arrive, my brothers will probably be almost dead! It is better to be blamed by the county magistrate than to lose your life! If the other party fights to the death and wants to take someone with them before dying, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to talk here now."

"Alright, alright! Hurry up and pack up. When the time comes, dig a hole to bury our brothers. Also, let's go and take a look at the goods. These are our spoils of war. We don't want the group of people behind us to take all the credit."

"understood!"

……

……

"I say, Lao Hu! This is really immoral! We agreed to form an alliance to fight against the rebels together, why did you quietly send your men to intercept them?"

A middle-aged man in black clothes condemned, and another old man in green clothes beside him echoed.

"Yes, if my soldiers hadn't rushed over, not only would the cargo have been unstoppable, but your entire army would have been wiped out. You should thank us for this!"

"Haha, yes, I'm really anxious. Seeing that group of people are about to leave the jurisdiction, if I don't send people, I'm afraid they will get away long ago. That's why I'm so anxious!"

"Who would have thought that the rebels were well-armed and so skilled?"

The other two just looked at each other when they heard his words, and didn't believe it! They didn't believe that the other party didn't have some ulterior motives in his mind, but since the other party had stopped the goods and lost a small number of officers and soldiers, they couldn't say anything at this juncture.

The accused man was wearing a red shirt, with half of his black hair turning white. He slapped his thigh hard, his wrinkled face full of regret.

The man in red is called Hu Zhuo, the magistrate of Heshan County, and is in his forties. The other two men, like Hu Zhuo, are magistrates of nearby counties. The man in black is in his thirties, named Guang Wenyao, and is the magistrate of Huangshan County. The other old man in green is in his fifties, named Huang Kai, and is the magistrate of Toushan County.

The three of them gathered together not for anything else but because of the Longting County incident.

The county courts in their jurisdiction are all close to Longting County. Now Longting County has been occupied by rebels and the internal situation is unclear, so the three of them gathered together to discuss.

"No wonder the spies we sent out didn't respond. It seems that Longting County really has that trick! If we had known this, we should have sent troops to encircle and suppress them!"

Huang Kai frowned, looking unhappy, while Guang Wenyao narrowed his eyes.

"Who would have thought that this group of rebels would be so powerful? I heard that they have the protection of a dragon girl behind them. I guess they must have the help of some magical person. It is normal for them to have such strength."

When they heard that Tongshan County was occupied by rebels, they didn't take it seriously. After all, no matter how powerful the rebels were, they could not achieve anything great without weapons and food.

But who could have imagined that within a few months, no news could be heard from Tongshan County at all. Countless refugees went in, but not a single one came out. How could they not be worried?

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 371 Chapter The passage is cut off and surrounded

At the beginning, they were insignificant, so the county magistrates, who had soldiers at their disposal, were not afraid of them. They were just a group of rabble.

Now that so many refugees have disappeared, any discerning person can see that Tongshan County has sufficient food to accommodate those refugees, otherwise how could such a situation occur?

The nearby county courts saw this and were worried! Now that the rebels have become powerful, they must be worried! ?

I am worried that the rebels will become too powerful and one day they will take the initiative to attack the city!

Don't say that this is all groundless worry. Since ancient times, there has never been a rebel who just lives in a small area and does not expand outward. So it is no wonder that the three county magistrates began to join forces. After all, this really concerns their future. They can't allow a rebel force to grow around them!

"But now that we've realized it, we can't give those rebels any chance to grow. We can't go into Longting County to investigate, but can't we ask around in our jurisdiction? Tongshan County is a barren place with nothing to offer. I don't believe they can grow if we cut off their trade routes with the outside world."

Huang Kai stroked his beard and said.

"Master Huang is right. Although we are not sure how much food they have, Tongshan County does not produce salt, which is a scarce commodity. As long as we cut off their trade routes and make them isolated and helpless, I think these rebels will be powerless. They may even need our help. The three of us can take this opportunity to divide up the rebels' forces and strengthen ourselves. It would be great if we could contribute to this chaotic world!"

Hu Zhuo smiled and said that he had lost a lot of manpower this time, and he would have to make up for it when the time comes.

"As for the person behind the scenes, we have the imperial seal in our hands and the dragon's luck protecting us, so there is no need to be afraid! I guess the magic weapon was given by the person behind the scenes! But there are probably not many such weapons, so there is no need to worry."

Hearing Hu Zhuo say this, the other two nodded.

"What you said is absolutely true."

So what if a group of rebels have food? Without sufficient weapons, they can do no harm at all; so what if they have a large number of people? Without siege weapons, once the gates of the three counties are closed, their contact with the outside world will be cut off, and so many people will be trapped like turtles in a jar, and be trampled and divided by them.

Thinking of this, several people nodded with satisfaction. Although they were unwilling to start a rebellion, it was indeed possible to eliminate the threats around them and strengthen their own forces. After all, only with strong power in their hands could they protect themselves from life and death in this chaotic world.

"Then, that Sun Baoquan..."

"Don't worry... I have sent people to arrest them early in the morning. After the items in their mansion are counted, everyone will get a share."

"Well, he is a famous businessman after all. I'm sure he has countless things in his mansion! It's just right for him to contribute to the development of the county court... This is also his good fortune. Who made him work with the rebels..."

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled slightly. Everything was said without words.

……

……

On the other side, Wang Wei brought the injured Long Tingjun, Sun Baoquan and others back to the county court. The injuries of their group also attracted the attention of the people, and soon other people also knew about it.
