Shunjun City.
When Sun Tu and others encountered danger in the valley to the south and were forced into desperation by two groups of people, the instigator of the incident, Xi Fengjian, was riding his horse along the long street with several city generals with a proud face, joking from time to time. A few words: "Generals, my unsatisfactory brother invited you to drink at the Hongyan Tower in front of me two days ago. I am also doing something today. How about inviting you to drink there?" With that, he pointed. A few miles ahead stood the largest restaurant in the city.
The expressions of the generals who were traveling with him changed slightly. It was obvious that he was reminding himself that he knew everything about the past few days and was putting pressure on them. This made several people a little annoyed, but who knew that the other party was the son of Xi Fengye Chang? At this time, they could only hold back their anger and laugh twice.
Of course, some people were secretly wary. Today, Xifengzhao suddenly invited everyone to come out for a drink, and his attitude was a bit flamboyant, so they guessed that it had something to do with the fight between the two brothers. They did not respond to Xi Feng Chang's request that they send troops to help. This was because the soldiers and horses in the city were not allowed to move without Xi Feng Ye Chang's permission. Secondly, it was also related to the fear of Xi Feng Chang. After all, in terms of status, he was He is higher than the son who is not as good as the weak crown - but he did not expect that even so, he would be worried about the fine feudal family today.
Seeing the reaction of these subordinate generals of the Xifeng clan, Xifeng clan became more and more proud. Now the father only has two sons in the city, himself and Lao Ba. As long as they can be completely eradicated or suppressed this time, it may not be impossible to win the surrender of these people!
Everyone walked forward with their own thoughts in mind, and soon came to the Hongyan Tower. Immediately, Xifeng Jian's expression changed, because the door of the restaurant was closed at this time, and it was no longer doing business. This made him feel that he had been humiliated, and he immediately ordered: "Go and call the door for me. No matter who rents the Hongyan Restaurant today, you must give me the restaurant." In his opinion, this is the only place. It will only close when someone takes it in. Otherwise, how could the restaurant not accept customers at this time when it is open for business
The result once again exceeded his expectations. Two of his men came forward and knocked on the door and called for a long time. The restaurant was still quiet. Apparently there was no one inside... This was really weird. It used to be the Chinese New Year. Even when enemies came to attack the city, the Hongyan Tower was not closed. Why did it suddenly happen today
However, Xifeng Feng calmed down quickly and said with a smile: "Since Hongyan Tower can't accept guests, I will invite you to drink elsewhere. I have four big restaurants in Shunjun City, can they all be closed today?"
Unfortunately, he got what he said. When they came to two other large restaurants nearby, they found the same appearance. The doors were closed, but not even a single person was seen. At this time, Xiao Feudal was really dumbfounded and annoyed: "What on earth is going on?" The other generals were also a little confused. They had never encountered such a thing.
He Sichang, who was accompanying Xi Fengfeng, quickly grabbed a passerby on the roadside and asked him why several restaurants were closed. This person really knew something about the inside story, so he didn’t dare to hide it at this time, and quickly explained: “The houses in Hongyan Tower have closed their doors a few days ago. I heard that their wine and food were in the store.
There is a situation outside the city, and they have to go out of the city to deal with it. So the restaurant is closed these days, and everyone in the restaurant has left the city. "
"Hmm..." He Sichang just frowned, but when Xifengman heard this, his expression changed quickly, and he felt bad in his heart. Immediately, he winked at Xifeng Jian, and said: "Since these restaurants are not doing business, that's it. When the day is free, my young master will invite you to drink again."
Although some of his cronies didn't understand why they said this, because of their trust in him, Xifeng Jian didn't raise any objections. He just bowed arrogantly and sent these generals who were also full of doubts away, and then looked at them. Xiang Xifengman, let's see what he says.
Xifeng Man was not in a hurry to explain, but said softly: "Young Master, let's talk about it when we get back."
When they hurried back to the fine feudal mansion, the man finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked in a hurried voice: "What on earth did you see was wrong? Why did you react like this?"
"Young Master, I'm afraid I'm really going to miss this time." Those merchants and their subordinates!"
"What did you say?" Xi Fengjian was also nervous for a while, but he hadn't thought about the problem clearly yet. He Sichang had already understood at this time, and his expression became extremely ugly: "This time, I really underestimated the Eighth Young Master's methods. Before, he Inviting those generals to the banquet was a complete cover-up. He had known that he would not be able to persuade these people to send troops to help, so what he really wanted to win over were the merchants in the city."
"Yes, we have ignored all these people! Although the Eighth Young Master has only been engaged in business and not involved in military affairs in the past two years, it does not mean that he does not have people available in the city - those merchants who need to get various goods from him It's the power he can use, but we have always ignored it." Xifengman said with an annoyed look on his face: "And this time, in order to make Sun Qianli fall into a trap, we let the Nanshan thieves rob a large amount of goods. , these goods certainly include green salt that belongs to the Liao merchant named Huangfu Duan, but more of them belong to many merchants in the city. If it was just one or two families, they wouldn't dare to do anything, but now... And there is also the Eighth Young Master. To pull the strings from it, these people will definitely not hesitate to fight!"
At this time, Xifeng Jian finally understood, and his face changed drastically, but he still said with luck: "Just how many people can there be in those merchants? Can they still change the situation?"
"The owners of several restaurants such as Hongyan Tower are all wealthy people in the city. The total number of servants under their command should be three to four hundred. Plus other merchants, I am afraid it will not be less than six or seven hundred." He Sichang was still very concerned about this. The familiar one immediately reported a shocking number.
And Xifengman added: "And all of this is done in secret. If it were done openly, our people would not be afraid of them, but this time they will definitely hide people in secret He will be dispatched suddenly at a critical moment, and then I'm afraid..." At this point, even he shuddered violently. This time, there is a high probability that it will end in failure, no, a disastrous defeat.
At this time, Xifeng Feng's face began to turn a little pale: "When did Lao Ba become
So insidious..."
"I'm afraid this is the design of Sun Qianli. This person is really thoughtful and vicious! Now, I'm afraid everything is a foregone conclusion..." He Sichang sighed helplessly, but this time Xifengman didn't say anything else, just His face became even more ugly, and there was something he really didn't dare to say. If the other party not only wanted to trap and kill those hundreds of people, but also wanted to take the opportunity to attack his own young master, I'm afraid the sixth young master would really lose miserably this time.
Because once the incident fails this time, a huge clue will fall into the hands of Xi Fengchang - Xi Fengchang actually colluded with the horse thief Nanshan Bandit. How big a sin is this? If all this is just a rumor, maybe no one can do anything about Xifeng Jian, but once someone comes and seizes the stolen goods, and takes Xixian Feng's soldiers and horses and the horse thieves back to the city alive, this crime is too big and will be punished by everyone. The soldiers and civilians of the city rose up to attack, and even the fine seal Ye Chang couldn't protect his son anymore.
This move was extremely cruel, and it really frightened Xi Fengman. He felt ashamed and fearful of Sun Qianli, whom he had never met before. You must know that it was not Xi Fengchang and the others who took the dominant position at the beginning this time. They just came up with countermeasures passively. On this point alone, Sun Qianli was already much stronger than him.

A hundred miles away, Liang Gunsi and Gao Dadong, who were standing on a high ground ten miles away, also looked shocked and disbelieving. Because in just a moment, the originally one-sided battle situation had undergone a fundamental change.
Originally, in their opinion, Xi Fengchang's men were destined to be defeated, and there was no chance of escape. But suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the quiet mountain forest in front of them. But this army horse was not intended to encircle them. On the contrary, this army horse ambushing in the mountains and forests quickly opened its bow, allowing countless arrows to pass over the more than a hundred defeated soldiers who rushed forward, and hit the fine feudal soldiers who were pursuing them. The man was shot and turned upside down.
Then, amid roars of rage, the cavalry team that was originally focused on escaping suddenly turned around, joined the ambush troops who also charged forward, and went straight towards the pursuers who had been confused by this incident.
In the blink of an eye, the situation of victory and defeat was completely reversed. The former escapees became the pursuers, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemies who fell behind, just like the previous enemies treated them, not because the other party was one's own. People of the same race have no reservations.
Suddenly, screams resounded throughout the world, making the Xia soldiers who were watching from a distance feel frightened. When Liang Gunsi saw this, he even sighed: "Xi Feudal has been defeated..." Having experienced military affairs for a long time, he could clearly feel the reaction of Xi Feudal's soldiers and horses at this moment, no matter how far away they were. No matter who he is, if he is suddenly reversed by the enemy when he thinks he is sure to win, he will completely collapse. Even if he is in that army, he can't change anything.
Then, he glanced at Ga Dadong, who was also stunned: "Are we going to come to the rescue?"
"No need. No matter who wins or loses today, it will only benefit the Third Young Master, so why do you have to take the lead? As for the clan leader, just say that we are one step late." Gao Dadong had calmed down at this time, as if He said with a non-smile.
