Three days!
Ying Xuan was exhausted mentally and physically after traveling for three days.
But when he looked up at Zhang Liang, even his lips had begun to turn dark purple.
Paired with that woman's face, it really looks like the devil played in those magical love dramas of later generations!
Shaking his head to find some comfort for himself, Ying Xuan got out of the carriage, facing Juyang City.
Under the low city gate, there were a few scattered guards standing.
Ying Xuan only brought three people into the city, thinking of replenishing supplies, resting for half a day, and then rushed straight to the frontline military camp.
When entering the city, they needed to be interrogated. When the guard saw Ying Xuan standing in front of the carriage, he looked like a businessman, but the carriage was made of extremely luxurious materials. He thought he was a wealthy businessman, and he wanted to extort him as soon as he rolled his eyes.
Zhang Han stepped forward, took some Qin banliang and stuffed it into the opponent's arms.
Who knows, the man was still not satisfied and knocked down the money.
Zhang Han and another palace guard immediately started arguing because they had never experienced such grievances.
More than a dozen guards failed to extort money, so they became angry and wanted to arrest him.
Zhang Han subconsciously wanted to draw out his weapons to defend himself, but he didn't expect that the other party was not deterred at all. They pulled out their copper swords one by one, and some even waved spears.
The scene was tense, and the two hundred cavalrymen who had dismounted and rested behind the carriage also noticed the situation and galloped over immediately.
The sound of the galloping horse's hooves was so terrifying that the guard shouted that the enemy was attacking!
The city gate was immediately closed, and crossbows were set up on the city wall.
Ying Xuan frowned and glared at Zhang Han.
"How much do you want to give him? This kind of little soldier and general needs to be given some wherever he goes!"
"You are such an old man, why can't you understand this?"
Ying Xuan hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Zhang Han felt a little aggrieved.
"If it's less, I'll give it to you! But he asked me for a full ten gold!"
Ying Xuan's eyes widened instantly.
His expression changed, he stood up and pointed at the city wall and cursed.
"You bastard! Who gave you the courage to pay ten gold!"
"I don't know how much hardship I have endured to get ten gold coins! You dare to open your mouth and ask for ten gold coins when you pass by with such a shameful face!"
"Get down here! See if I don't break your legs!"
"If I don't destroy you today, I will give you your last name!"
Seeing that Ying Xuan was so angry, Zhang Han was about to draw his sword and attack the city! He was so scared that he stopped him in a hurry!
"Master, don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! Just be patient and don't be impatient! I'll leave it to my subordinates to handle it properly!"
Ying Xuan put his hands on his hips angrily.
"You bastard! I want to see how bold a little doorman can be!"
"Tell the county magistrate to get out of here!"
The two hundred people behind him immediately lined up and raised their crossbows at the moment the opponent raised their crossbows.
The gatekeepers on the city wall saw that the two hundred soldiers were well-trained and could not be just private soldiers of the rich family. They felt that something was serious and hurriedly sent someone to report to the county magistrate.
Unexpectedly, he met the county captain halfway.
The county captain stopped the panicked guards, and after learning the news, he took the people there himself.
After a while, Ying Xuan saw a few more people on the wall.
One of them was obviously an official in a black robe.
Ying Xuan thought, the other party must be obedient when they see his lineup.
When the city gate is opened, these corrupt officials must be taught a lesson!
The county captain stood on the city wall and saw hundreds of people covered in dust.
Not only are there a complete set of swords, but they are also equipped with dozens of powerful crossbows.
Immediately, I was shocked and sweating on my forehead. How could this be a wealthy businessman? I'm afraid it's the princes, ministers and princes who are out on patrol!
Just when he was about to beat the guard to open the gate.
But there was another person on the city wall.
This man had a big belly at a young age, and the others saluted.
"I've met the county magistrate!"
This is the second-in-command in Juyang County, but he is obviously a second-generation person.
He was so arrogant that he didn't take any notice of the people under the city gate.
"Er Gouzi! Who wants to break through the city gate?"
The guard named Nan Zhanghan immediately bent forward and stepped forward.
"Going back to the county magistrate, there are a few people under the wall. Look at them with hundreds of people, armed with sharp weapons and crossbows. I'm afraid they want to take advantage of my Ju Yang's lack of military strength to have evil intentions!"
The county lieutenant on the side became anxious after hearing this. Such people are not something a small county like them can afford to offend!
If you annoy others and try to do something dirty in the Xianyang court, their whole county will not be easy.
But the county magistrate didn't listen. On the way here, he already knew that the other party was a wealthy businessman but for some reason he was followed by hundreds of well-trained soldiers.
The county magistrate thought, if others don't know, he doesn't know?
Wealthy businessmen were escorted by the army, usually to purchase grain and grass to support the front line.
Merchants with low status in the past can also enjoy the pleasure of unobstructed traffic at this time, with no one daring to stop them.
Therefore, many wealthy businessmen will take the opportunity to pass through a few more cities on the road to show their strength.
It’s okay to fool those ignorant people in this situation, but can you also fool yourself?
The county magistrate didn't care and glanced at it from the corner of his eye. He saw a carriage made of good material covered with dust.
The hundreds of people behind him also looked disgraced. It looked like they had traveled a long distance and rushed here in a hurry!
This was exactly what he had in mind.
"These businessmen are extremely rich with royal grants, but they still get nothing when they come to my territory?"
"Er Gouzi! Shoot me an arrow and drive them back a hundred steps!"
"If you don't show your true feelings, these merchants can't tell the difference between big and small!"
The county captain was immediately shocked, are you blind? Didn't you see that those are all fine BMWs from the inn, even for merchants?
That is also a wealthy businessman who has received military orders and major events! You can’t be offended at this time!
But before the words were spoken, a cold shout rang out.
"etc!"
The person who came was none other than the magistrate of Juyang County.
He was wearing a black patterned robe and a crown on his head, looking very imposing.
"Don't act recklessly without recognizing your identity!"
The county magistrate bowed and said hurriedly.
"Guo County Magistrate, my subordinates have found out that he should be a merchant sent by the imperial court to help purchase grain and grass!"
The county magistrate nodded upon hearing this. This magistrate's status was not low and he had seen the world. His recognition should be correct.
And even if he really admits his mistake, he can still put the responsibility on him.
The person behind him can definitely be easily dealt with.
The county magistrate didn't care, but this made the county captain beside him anxious.
"I think this is impossible! Soldiers with such momentum cannot be cultivated in ordinary armies!"
"I'm just afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the county magistrate.
He leaned over and saw that the disgraced team was covered in dust, and the soldiers' armors were all obscured by dirt, and there was nothing dazzling about them at all.
The merchant at the head was not very tall, and he had not even washed his face.
Suddenly I had a decision in my mind.
"Captain Zhang! There are times when you should show the majesty of a local official."
"Now that the giant sun is empty, how can we ensure that there will be no chaos if such men and horses armed with sharp weapons are allowed into the city at will?"
"I think we will follow what the county magistrate said, let these people improve their memory, and then let them in again!"
As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate raised his eyebrows at the county captain proudly.
Of course he knew that his sudden arrival made the county captain very unhappy, but he had no choice but to give him a good father!
So the county magistrate stood majestically on the city wall, waving his hands and asking people to shoot arrows to intimidate the other party.
At this time, Ying Xuan, who was under the wall, had already seen the county magistrate's round face.
A sentence floated out subconsciously.
"Pangpang Cheng?"
On the city wall, the county magistrate, who was feeling powerful and domineering, trembled instantly when he heard these three words.
He suddenly straightened his almost invisible neck, looked down and felt a buzz in his head, and the fat on his body shook three times.
In this life, there is only one person who has called him that.
He beamed.
But at this moment, the archer on the side had already shot an arrow as required.
The county magistrate's unopened smile instantly turned into panic. He stretched out his hand in a desperate attempt to stop him, but unfortunately it was already too late.
At this moment, he was desperate.
