Immediately Shangguan San followed Zhao Po and his team, while Sun Shang went to call for people.
These two people are the men of Xiling Jinyi Guard Guo Hu.
The two of them have been stationed again for a long time. They bought the rice from the grain stores near the border fortress at high prices. They also guarded the area and reported the movements of Dongling Imperial City at all times.
When he reached the fork in the road, Zhao Po stopped, turned his head and said loudly, "Everyone, please work harder. We will be there in a few miles."
Shangguan, who was following his team, twitched his lips slightly after listening. It seemed that he guessed well, these potatoes were sent to the frontier fortress.
Then he tiptoed and flew towards the front of the team. When he landed in front of Zhao Po and the others, he said loudly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to make it."
After hearing this, the people driving the carriage couldn't help but panic and looked at each other, "What's going on? What's going on?"
"Then try it!" Seeing this, Su Tong drew out his sword.
Zhao Po then stretched out his hand to signal Su Tong not to take action yet.
Then Zhao Po turned around and asked Shangguan San, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Why don't you take a guess?" Shangguan San curled his lips slightly at this time, then looked at Zhao Po and said.
Zhao Po narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, "Are you from Xiling?"
"Young Master is indeed smart!" Shangguan San said with a smile.
Zhao Po's mouth curled up slightly at this moment, "Thank you for the compliment, but do you think you can fight against so many of us by yourself?"
"There are so many people. To be honest with you two young masters, apart from the two of you who can fight, the rest of your team probably don't need to fight." Shangguan Lin said again at this time.
After Su Tong heard this, his face could not help but be filled with anger, and he said loudly, "Brother Zhao, what else can I say to him? Let's do it."
With that said, Su Tong flew up from his horse, drew his sword, and stabbed Shangguan San directly.
At this time, Shangguan San dodged and then drew out his sword and started fighting with Su Tong.
The two were equally skilled. Every time Shangguan San made a move, he cleverly dodged it, as if he knew what move he was going to make in advance.
Su Tong couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he was going to do the opposite. Sure enough, within a few moves, Shangguan San was defeated. He couldn't resist, and couldn't dodge. His arm was stabbed by Su Tong's sword.
At this time, Su Tong couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, and then said with a smile, "Didn't you say we can't get there? We will show it to you today."
With that said, Su Tong quickly moved to stab Shangguan San, who was about to dodge.
The sound of horse hooves was heard from behind, and then someone shouted, "Stop."
Su Tong stopped and turned around to look, only to see a group of people running away.
At this time, Sun Shang pulled the reins, and the horse stopped. Then he said to his men, "Surround them all."
Immediately, his men surrounded the carriage.
The people driving the carriage were all ordinary people. I had never seen this posture before, and I couldn't help but become even more panicked.
When Zhao Po saw this, he turned his head and said, "Don't panic, everyone."
"What...what is going on?" Someone asked Zhao Po at this time.
Zhao Po stepped forward and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I know that the things on your carriage are going to be sent to the frontier fortress camp. I won't embarrass you. As long as you leave the things on the carriage to us, I promise not to hurt you." At this time, Sun Shang got off. Ma walked up to Zhao Po and said.
After Su Tong heard this, he put away the sword in his hand, then walked to Sun Shang, pointed his sword at him and said with a smile, "Why should I stay with you?"
"Of course, you can choose not to give it, but you have to think about it, will it cost too much to exchange so many lives for these things on the carriage?" Sun Shang pushed Su Tong's sword away at this time. , looked at him and said.
As he spoke, Sun Shang waved his hand forward, "Brothers, enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, his men ran to the man driving the carriage.
He took out the knife in his hand and put it on the necks of these people.
When Su Tong saw this, he couldn't help but look at Sun Shang and said, "These methods of you Xiling people are really despicable."
"Thank you for the compliment, young master. No matter what the process is, all I want is the result." Sun Shang's mouth curled up slightly at this time, and then he said.
Then Sun Shang walked up to Shangguan San and asked, "How is it?"
"It's okay, it's a flesh wound, not deep." Shangguan San looked at the wound at this time and said to Sun Shang.
Sun Shang nodded, then turned around, "I'll give you three time to think about it, but you have to think about it carefully. If you don't think about it well, these people will all die in your hands."
After saying that, Sun Shang stretched out his hands and counted, "one"
"Master Zhao, I cannot agree."
"Yes, don't worry about us, we can't give them anything on the carriage."
The man driving the carriage no longer panicked after hearing this, but calmed down and said to Zhao Posu Tong.
"Two." Sun Shang continued to count.
At this time, another person said, "Mr. Zhao, please do it quickly. Leave us alone. We must deliver the things on the carriage to the right place."
"Three." Sun Shang sneered, then shouted louder.
Seeing that Zhao Po and Su Tong had not let go, Sun Shang waved his hand, his eyes full of killing, "Do it!"
Seeing Sun Shang's men about to take action.
"Wait!" Zhao Po and Su Tong said at the same time.
A smile appeared on Sun Shang's lips at this time, and it disappeared in an instant, "I knew that the two young masters are people who value love."
"What do you want?" Zhao Po then looked at Sun Shang and asked.
Sun Shang smiled at this time and said, "Give me the things on the carriage, and you can leave. But just in case, I will take two people away first, and after we are far away, I will let them come back on their own. "
"What if you take action against them?" Su Tong looked at Sun Shang with disbelief and asked.
I saw Sun Shang laughing twice at this time, "Do you have any other ideas? Don't worry, my target is the things on your carriage, not you."
"One stick of incense. I want to see them come back. If not, don't blame us for being rude." Zhao Po's eyes were slightly cold at this time.
Sun Shang responded at this time, then turned around and said to his subordinates, "Have you heard that? Why don't you do it yet!"
After hearing this, his men held the two men hostage, and the rest walked to the carriage and drove it away.
Sun Shang smiled at Su Tong and Zhao Po, "Don't follow them secretly, otherwise you will understand."
With that said, Sun Shang got on the horse, then pulled the reins and walked to Shangguan San, pulled him onto the horse, then grabbed the horse's belly and ran towards the road leading to Xiling.
Su Tong looked at his walking back and couldn't help shaking the sword in his hand, "Are you just going to give them these potatoes?"
"There is only one way at hand. Tudou can't go back to pull it. If they really attack the people of the capital, we won't be able to explain to Mr. Xu when we go back." Zhao Po clasped his hands on his chest at this time and walked to the fork in the road. sat down on the stone.
Then he said, "Come here and wait."
"Alas." Su Tong twisted his head at this time, let out a long sigh, and then walked to Zhao Po and sat down.
At this time, people with carriages gathered around, looked at each other, and then asked, "Mr. Zhao, will something happen to the two of them?"
"No, please wait patiently." Zhao Po shook his head and said to him.
After hearing this, the worries on their faces remained unabated.
Seeing this, Su Tong stood up and immediately said to several people, "Don't worry, everyone, they don't dare to do anything. If they really wanted to do something, they would have done it just now."
"Young master Su is absolutely right. Let's sit aside and wait." After hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
As he spoke, several people also sat down and stared at the direction they left.
And at this time.
Shuoling and Houshi also entered the frontier fortress.
Walking quickly to the intersection between the military camp and Xiling, I saw a group of people sitting at the intersection from a distance.
At this time, Shuo Ling pulled the reins and slowed down. Hou Shi on the side also slowed down after seeing this, and then stood side by side with Shuo Ling. He looked at him and asked, "Do you think there will be people from Xiling in front of you?"
"I don't know, you'll know after you take a look." Shuo Ling said, then he grabbed the horse's belly and ran forward.
Hou Shi also speeded up and ran forward at this time.
Shuo Ling then rode up to Zhao Po and others and stopped his horse.
Zhao Potong, who heard the noise, looked up and saw that it was Shuo Ling. He couldn't help but look surprised. Then he quickly stood up from the stone, raised his hands and saluted Shuo Ling, "Master Hou."
After hearing this, the people on the side realized that it was indeed Shuohou. They had seen Shuoling before when the capital was plagued.
So a few people hurriedly walked forward and knelt down, "Young people, please see the Marquis."
"Get up." Shuo Ling frowned slightly at this time, and then said to the kneeling people.
Then, Shuo Ling looked at Su Tong and Zhao Po. He had seen these two people, who were the guards given by the emperor to Xu Qing when he returned to the capital from the imperial city.
He had seen it when he sent Xu Qing off that day, but logically speaking, shouldn't these two people be with Xu Qing now? Why did he appear at the border fortress? Judging from the people following him, he must be the common people of the capital.
Then Shuo Ling looked at the two of them and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Back to Lord Marquis, we are actually here to transport potatoes to the frontier fortress on Master Xu's order." Zhao Po said at this time, holding up his hands.
Shuo Ling frowned after hearing this, "Potato?"
Zhao Po nodded and was about to speak when he heard Su Tong say from the side.
"The Marquis doesn't know something. Previously, the victims of the Qingcheng County Bishop's capital were planting potatoes. Later, there was a bumper potato harvest and the frontier fortress was short of food. Master Xu learned about it and asked me to pack some potatoes and send them to the frontier fortress." Su Tong asked Shuo at this time. Ling said.
After hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned, looked around, and then asked, "What about the potatoes? Have they been sent away?"
"Not yet, we met the Xiling people when we got here. The Xiling people used our people as a threat. Not to mention the potatoes, even the carriage was taken away." Su Tong clapped his hands at this time, with a slight smile in his eyes as he spoke. Bring some anger.
After Su Tong finished speaking, Shuo Ling then asked, "How many people were you blackmailed and how long have you been gone?"
