"Don't worry, Village Chief Liu. As long as you don't panic, there won't be any problems." Li Yang's calm voice came out.
The village chief took a deep breath and nodded.
"In that case, just do as the general says."
After saying that, the village chief pulled up the reins and walked aside without saying another word.
Looking at the village chief's back, Li Yang's eyes became solemn.
Although it is already the time of spring and flowers are blooming, this season is not the sowing season on the grassland.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Qingshi City does not lack food and grass to continue fighting.
Therefore, if you attack rashly, your chances of winning are not high.
That's why he wanted to take the risk and enter Bluestone City in disguise to spy on intelligence and observe the city's weak points.
After all, there are 30,000 elite soldiers stationed in Qingshi City. If they attack by force, it will be tantamount to death.
But if you can sneak in quietly, that's another matter.
And if you want to lurk quietly into Qingshi City, in this situation, you can only rely on the village chief.
Li Yang knew that there was an army hidden in the village, a group of well-trained nomads.
They are good at hiding and escaping, and are especially good at detecting the environment and looking for breakthroughs.
Their advantage is that they are relatively few in number and are difficult to find without careful search.
That's why Li Yang chose to use this opportunity in the village to complete this investigation.
It's just that this matter is extremely risky. If you are not careful, the entire army may be in danger of being destroyed.
After all, this Bluestone City is a solid fortress.
If you try hard, you will probably suffer heavy losses.
But Li Yang also knew that this was the only way.
Therefore, he can only make a desperate move!
"Hey, it's your turn, what are you still doing?"
Just when Li Yang was still thinking about whether there were any loopholes in his plan, the officers and soldiers at the city gate suddenly shouted to Li Yang.
Li Yang quickly recovered and walked quickly towards the city gate.
At this time, Li Yang discovered that these officers and soldiers did not seem to be soldiers from Qingshi City, but people wearing ordinary clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Li Yang looked at these people warily.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that these people were not simple, and their whole bodies were filled with strong evil spirits, which made people palpitate.
When Li Yang asked, a pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes glanced at him, making Li Yang couldn't help but shudder.
But Li Yang was not an ordinary person after all. After a brief period of fear, he adjusted himself and at the same time secretly made a decision in his heart.
If these people wanted to take action later, he would have to prepare for the worst and try his best to escape with the old village chief.
After all, the green hills are still there, so there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.
Compared with Li Yang who calmed down quickly, Village Chief Liu was a little nervous.
He knew the purpose of coming here. For an old man who had tried his best to live his whole life, this matter was still too exciting.
"Hey, what are you still writing on?"
Seeing that the two men refused to enter the city for a long time, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate finally became impatient and knocked on the carriage fiercely with their scabbards.
Li Yang looked at the scabbard and curled up his lips: "Old man, please."
With that said, he took the lead in pulling Lao Niu and walked in. Village Chief Liu gritted his teeth when he saw this, and then quickly followed, but he never dared to raise his head.
"Bang~"
A big foot stepped directly on the bullock cart, making a sound.
"Hmph, grinding."
Several officers and soldiers snorted and frowned in displeasure.
Li Yang's actions had already attracted their attention.
"Hey, listen to me, you two, if you dare to play tricks later, I will skin you!"
Li Yang turned his head slightly and saw the officer and soldier staring at him fiercely, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"How dare we, country folk, deceive you all? I just ask you to be magnanimous and spare our lives."
Li Yang bowed his head and apologized humbly.
The officers and soldiers immediately showed a mocking smile when they saw this.
In their eyes, such a country man is not worth mentioning at all.
"Tell me the truth, what are you going to do in the city this time?"
Several tall and round officers and soldiers asked casually while using their knives to stir up some game on the bullock cart.
"Brothers, we went to the city this time mainly to sell some things in exchange for food. We are almost starving." Li Yang lowered his voice and said in a respectful tone.
"Well, that's right. If you're sensible, then hand over the things so that you don't get your hands dirty."
The officers and soldiers laughed loudly, their eyes greedily falling on Village Chief Liu, as if he was a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
"Hehe, I understand all of this, I understand all of this."
After saying that, Li Yang stood directly in front of Village Chief Liu, took out a few coins from his arms and handed them over: "Thank you for your hard work, brother."
"Oh! It's quite interesting."
The leading officer and soldier nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll let you go today. Remember, don't wander around. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame us for not warning you."
Li Yang nodded: "Thank you, brother."
"Go away, go away."
Several officers and soldiers waved Li Yang and others away, then turned around and continued to interrogate the next group.
Li Yang and Village Chief Liu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove the ox cart into the city.
As soon as he turned into the alley next to the city wall, Li Yang's expression instantly became solemn.
At this time, there were more and more people on the streets, bustling and noisy, and there were even more artists setting up stalls and performing arts on the road.
There seemed to be a strange atmosphere permeating the entire Bluestone City, which made Li Yang very uneasy.
Only then did he understand what the behavior of the gate guards just meant.
They were clearly trying to confuse themselves and others into thinking that the city's security was lax.
But they don't know that at this time, it is the most difficult time to sneak into the city.
The surrounding areas and streets were full of civilians, but most of them had no smiles on their faces, instead they looked sad.
Li Yang was confused, but he knew better than to ask any more questions now, so he had to concentrate on driving.
Soon, Li Yang came to the square in the center of Qingshi City and stopped.
Two rows of patrolling soldiers stood outside the square. They held spears in their hands and stared at every citizen passing by to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to sneak into the city and cause trouble.
"Village Chief Liu, let's set up a stall here."
After looking around, Li Yang jumped off the oxcart and unloaded the game from the oxcart one after another.
Although this place is remote, there are a lot of people. He came here to inquire about information, not to make money, so it would be better not to arouse suspicion.
Village Chief Liu also got off the ox cart and nodded.
"Oh~, I said you two, are you going to sell these rags too?"
While Li Yang was busy carrying wild game such as mountain mushrooms and pheasants, suddenly, a joking voice came.
Li Yang looked up and saw a skinny middle-aged man looking at them with his arms folded, a contemptuous smile on his lips.
