Du Tao originally wanted to bring two hundred horses into the city, but Qin Yu pulled him into the city and brought one thousand horses into the city.
After entering the city, Du Tao understood why Qin Yu wanted all his thousand riders to enter the city.
The size of Cang County is that of a city with a population of more than 30,000 people. However, the number of people in the city including the defenders is only over 10,000.
Most of the city is empty, and except for the living area, it is basically in a dilapidated state.
Along the way, Qin Yu was also introducing the situation in the city.
"To be honest with you, sir, Cang County was severely persecuted by bandits in the past. Now, if you want to recover, it will not be achieved in a short time."
"Especially now that Cang County doesn't have much money. It's hard for everyone to work together to create a strange thing, and it still has to be worried about by those unscrupulous traders. Life is hard!"
Hearing Qin Yu's complaint, Du Tao nodded. Du Tao still knew the virtues of those businessmen.
Du Tao held the horse with one hand and asked: "Since Cang County is short of money, why didn't you choose those big chambers of commerce to cooperate, but instead found a small chamber of commerce to cooperate?"
"You know, the big chamber of commerce has a lot of money. Even if it pays to rebuild a Cang County, it won't be a problem. As for the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, it doesn't have such ability."
Qin Yu smiled bitterly and asked, "Sir, do you think those big chambers of commerce can help me rebuild Cang County?"
"No." Du Tao subconsciously answered Qin Yu, making himself stunned.
"Hahaha! I understand, you still have a very unique vision."
"Your Excellency, this is ridiculous." Qin Yu continued: "The reason why I chose Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is, first, because they are sincere, second, they cannot do without us, and third, they have some conscience."
"Yes, there are not many conscientious businessmen left." Du Tao stopped and asked with a smile: "Do you know what the big chambers of commerce in the county say about you?"
"Don't think about it, there must be nothing good to say. Part of the reason why Sir came to Cang County now is because of these people."
"You understand." Du Tao continued to walk forward.
"I sent people to your Cang County three days ago, but they encountered bandits on the way, and they were all killed by the bandits. Do you know this?"
Qin Yu was stunned, his brows furrowed again and again, as if he didn't know what was going on.
"I did receive news before that a group of bandits came here from Chu State. My subordinates have been sending people to check, but there is no news so far." Qin Yu shook his head and said.
"Are you from Chu? I'm afraid only Brother Qin knows about it." Du Tao patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.
Qin Yu was shocked, but there was no change on the surface.
"My subordinates were careless and allowed those bandits from Chu State to come here. I will send people to destroy them as soon as possible."
While talking, a group of people arrived outside the county captain's mansion.
Looking at the luxurious county captain's mansion, Du Tao's face darkened, and his previous good impression of Qin Yu suddenly deteriorated a lot.
"Sir, please come inside." Qin Yu hurried forward and pushed the door open.
Suddenly a stream of dust blew out from inside, even covering Qin Yu.
Du Tao hurriedly reached out and fanned himself, but was still choked and coughed a few times.
But Du Tao's face looked much better.
"Bah, bah, bah!" Qin Yu choked on several mouthfuls of dust.
"My lord, please forgive me. I usually walk from the back. The front door of the county captain's mansion is not often opened, and there are no servants to clean it, so the dust is a bit heavy."
Du Tao smiled and said, "You can't live in such a big mansion alone without two servants, right?"
"How can we live there? There are a total of six courtyards in the county captain's mansion, and my subordinates only use two of them. The remaining four courtyards are all empty. I'm afraid they have accumulated a layer of dust." Qin Yu said with a helpless smile. .
"Interesting." Du Tao said and walked inside.
After entering the county captain's house, Du Tao was sure that Qin Yu was not lying.
The look of a house that has not been lived in or cleaned for a long time cannot be faked.
Qin Yu took Du Tao directly to the courtyard where he lived, and all Du Tao's men were arranged to another courtyard.
"Aren't you alone? Who is in that room?" Du Tao looked at a room where the lights were turned off.
"The kid living there is a little kid I adopted. Don't worry about him." Qin Yu said with a smile.
Du Tao nodded, looked at Qin Yu, his face turned cold, and asked: "Lu Jixuan, you sent someone to kill him, right?"
Qin Yu glanced at Du Tao and sat down on the rocking chair in the yard.
"Sir, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't even know who Lu Jixuan is."
"You're good at this. Get up and let me sit down." Du Tao watched Qin Yu shaking his head and suddenly became interested.
"No, this is mine only." Qin Yu lost his previous respect and lay there not getting out of the way.
"You are really stingy." Du Tao shook his head and sat directly on the small coffee table next to him.
"This guy Lu Jixuan was actually someone who was placed next to me. Regardless of whether you killed him or not, I should thank you."
"No need. If you haven't done it, you haven't done it. I don't like others thanking me for no reason." Qin Yu said with eyes closed.
Du Tao smiled coldly, "You are really brave."
"You are very courageous. You dare to live in the same courtyard as me alone, and you are not afraid that I will beat you to death?" Qin Yu opened his eyes and looked at Du Tao.
"You? I'm afraid you don't have that ability yet." Du Tao looked at Qin Yu with eyes filled with fighting intent.
"boom!"
The two of them jumped up at the same time, pressing towards each other with strong fighting intent.
"call!"
The two punched at the same time.
"boom!"
The two people's fists stirred up smoke and dust on the ground, and the small coffee table and rocking chair fell apart in an instant.
After the punch, Du Tao took seven or eight steps back before barely stopping. Du Tao's hand was shaking continuously and he could no longer squeeze his fist.
Du Tao looked at Qin Yu in astonishment. He knew his own strength very well, and he was also the master of his current opponents in the Tang Kingdom.
However, today, he was defeated by the young man in front of him with just one move.
Moreover, it seems that Qin Yu still has some strength left. How strong is this guy?
Qin Yu put away his fist and said with a smile: "Sir, how about this subordinate's punch? How many people in this world can block it?"
"You are worthy of being able to fight back from hundreds of thousands of Qi troops. You are really powerful. I underestimated you." Du Tao said, rubbing his arm.
Qin Yu turned back to the house and put two chairs in the yard.
He placed one for Du Tao and then sat on the other.
"Do you want to chat with me all night long in this courtyard?" Du Tao took the chair and sat on it.
"My lord has said that heroes cherish heroes. You and I are both heroes. Talking all night is probably not enough." Qin Yu said with a smile.
"No!" Du Tao refused, "Just finish what you need to say. I'm not as young as you, so I can't stay up late."
"Well, what do you want to talk about, sir?" Qin Yu asked, tapping Erlang's leg.
Du Tao glanced at Qin Yu and also crossed his legs.
"You don't have to call me Sir. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Du."
"Brother Du." Qin Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Hahaha······"
