When the situation was tense, Cheng Ting had already thrown away Liu Boyu's hand, stepped up the steps, and saw an ivory half an arm long in the study.
He sneered and said: "Liu Boyu, someone said you didn't have a long-term intention. I didn't believe it. Now I believe it. At this critical moment, you can still spare peppercorns and ivory. You are not only a lack-of-interest, you are a heart-blooded person." No kidneys have grown."
Liu Boyu walked in immediately and smiled flatteringly: "The third master taught me a lesson."
Cheng Ting snorted cold air from his nostrils, suddenly bent down, pulled out a dagger from his boot, and swung it at Liu Boyu.
This knife was without any skill, and it stabbed Liu Boyu straight. Su Mingquan had been on guard, and he quickly stepped forward. Just as he was about to block the sharp knife in Cheng Ting's hand, Yin Bei, who had been hiding among the followers, suddenly appeared, jumped forward, and restrained Su Mingquan.
Liu Boyu's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he took two steps back to avoid the attack.
The sharp knife in Cheng Ting's hand inserted into the Duobaoge with a "scratch" sound. He pulled it up hard, and the Duobaoge shook violently. Several precious porcelain bottles shattered to the ground. Then the whole grid made a roar and fell to the ground. .
Only then did the servants outside react. They drew their swords and stabbed Cheng Ting's followers. The followers were ruthless and beat the Liu family's servants all over the floor with just a few moves.
Liu Boyu secretly thought that he was careless, raised his hands, stepped back, and said: "Mr. Cheng, if you have something to say, please say it carefully. Put down the knife - say it carefully - if you don't like me selling goods, I won't sell them."
Facing the rude and reckless Cheng Ting, he was terrified - Cheng Ting was not like them and did not follow the rules at all.
Cheng Ting grabbed the knife and approached him again: "If you dare to cross Jinlu's territory, you must have a lot of good things in your hands, such as iron swords, arm crossbows, bows and arrows, gunpowder, and wound medicine. Take them out!"
At the end of the sentence, he gritted his teeth, his cheeks bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he took a sharp knife and directly forced Liu Boyu into the chair.
This is his true intention.
The war was approaching, and the minds of the people of Kuanzhou became more and more tense. They waited for reinforcements from the court, but in the end they only waited for the imperial edict sealing Mo Lingfeng and Zhong Jiaqing and the Jeju garrison.
The garrison was not as elite as the fortress. When they came at this time, they did not leave Kuanzhou City and only camped inside the city.
All actions showed that the country had given up on the fortress.
Without food, grass, weapons, gunpowder, and reinforcements, the further time went by, the more they suffered, and it seemed that they were destined to fail.
In recent years, Baozhai has been guarding the last line of defense outside Kuanzhou City, but in the end, it only ended up being abandoned.
There are still 50,000 people in the fort.
People in Kuanzhou City often see soldiers from the fortress entering the city during the holidays. Some send letters home, some send money, or they eat a bowl of noodles and drink a glass of wine in the city. The people also send the coffins of soldiers who died in the war in the fort. At that time, braziers were lit along the way to burn ingots and paper money.
While they were not angry for the fortress, the people of Kuanzhou were also uneasy. When the fortress fell, the people of Kuanzhou were the first to suffer.
Cheng Tingben followed Cheng Taishan in Jeju. When he heard the news, he immediately abandoned his old father and hurried back to Kuanzhou. While comforting his wife, he went around lobbying his former friends to donate money to buy grain and grass and send them to the fortress.
Early this morning, he received a letter from Mo Lingfeng from the fort, asking him to go to Liu's house to pick up these things. He immediately took Yin Bei and found them.
Liu Boyu faced the cold blade and swallowed: "There are bows and arrows and wound medicine, but nothing else, really nothing!"
"No?" Cheng Ting simply put away the knife and sat down in the chair. "Iron, crossbow, and gunpowder are all forbidden items. You dare not have them, but you can't really have them. Once you really don't have them, your little Life will also be lost."
He turned to look outside the door. The sky was overcast, and the wind was carrying water vapor, which was blowing around, as if the sky was about to change.
If the weather changes, it will be difficult for the Pacific train to move.
This kind of weather made him a little impatient: "Is there any?"
Liu Boyu broke out in a cold sweat: "Mr. Cheng, I'm just a merchant, and I'm not rebelling. Forget about iron and steel. I have strong bows and crossbows, controlled by the court, and gunpowder is only available in workshops in the north and south. I just have the ability to reach heaven." , not even!"
He crossed his legs and trembled: "Third Master, please do me a favor and let me go out to pee."
Cheng San picked up the bucket filled with melon seed peels, poured the melon seed peels on the ground, and placed them in front of Liu Boyu: "Urine."
Liu Boyu stared at Zha Dou and had to clamp his legs tightly to hold back the raging urge to urinate.
"Really not, don't force me!"
"Leifeng said you have it, even if you don't have it, you have to have it," Cheng Ting said with a cold face, "Don't worry, take out the things and I will hide it from you. No one will trouble you."
Liu Boyu was stunned: "Miss Mo asked you to come?"
"Yes." Cheng Ting turned the knife, "I also brought the peace cart. The things were loaded underneath and covered with grain and grass. When they were sent out, no one was aware of them. It was treated as if you were sending them to the fortress."
Liu Boyu turned his head and glanced at Yin Bei.
When Mo Lingfeng drove Cheng Ting here, the meaning was completely different.
"There is no gunpowder, only fireworks," he relaxed, "There are others."
Cheng Ting stared at him closely: "Is there any gunpowder?"
"Really not!" Liu Boyu looked aggrieved, "I am a shipwreck merchant, not a rebel merchant!"
"But Leaf said you did."
"Really not! Third Master!"
Cheng Ting put away the knife, stretched out his palm, and with all his strength, he suddenly struck out and slapped his head and face with two loud, clear slaps: "Are you there?"
He had big hands and strong hands, and when he pulled out two slaps, Liu Boyu's eyes were filled with stars and his head was buzzing.
Su Mingquan struggled hard under Yin Bei's hand: "Uncle!"
Yin Bei cut Su Mingquan's hands behind his back, raised his leg and kicked him in the kneecap, knocking him to his knees with one kick.
Cheng Ting asked again: "Do you have any gunpowder?"
Liu Boyu's cheeks were numb and swollen, a fingerprint appeared, and bloody saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth. Then he looked at Cheng Ting's big slap, which was more terrifying than a knife - Cheng Ting always had scruples when wielding a knife, but he used the slap with ease. In the same vein as Cheng Taishan.
He assessed the situation and quickly changed his confession: "Yes, but I got it from Jinlu. I haven't used it. I don't know if it works well or not."
The most lacking thing in the fort is actually gunpowder.
Cheng Ting stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Understand the situation."
He pointed at Su Mingquan: "Yin Bei, take this puppy to get things to load into the car."
The puppy did not give up its struggle, and was fighting the carp under Yin Bei's hand, looking for an opportunity to counterattack. At this time, he looked up at Liu Boyu, and when he saw Liu Boyu nodding, he turned and glared at Yin Bei: "Let go!"
Yin Bei let go, and he immediately slipped out like a fish, drew a sharp knife from his sleeve, and slashed towards Cheng Ting's neck decisively.
"Damn it!" Yin Bei raised his foot and kicked him in the back, causing him to fly off and land on the ground with a "bang".
Cheng Ting and Liu Boyu both bounced in their chairs.
Yin Bei stepped forward, picked up Su Mingquan, and smiled kindly at Liu Boyu: "Thank you, my old boss."
"I don't dare to take it." Liu Boyu was flexible and smiling, "Xiao Su, go get it."
Su Mingquan made a "poof" sound, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, glared at Cheng Ting, and went out to pick up the goods with Yin Bei.
