"It's probably very difficult to pass safely this time." The middle-aged man who mentioned the horse thief first said: "Because there are too many horse thief outside, and in a short time, they will not disperse. ."
"What do you mean? Do you know something?" someone asked impatiently.
Others also looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man paused and said, "This incident is also related to this marriage. The horse thieves outside the customs are not real horse thieves, but people from the army of some surrounding countries. Their purpose is not to rob. Instead, I want to kill people, the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty and the great prince of the country. Of course, after completing this task, if there is a caravan passing by, I believe that they will not mind taking a pistol. Yes, so now many people are afraid to leave."
"People from surrounding countries pretend to be?"
"What I said, there are so many horse thieves outside the customs, how can there be so many suddenly in a short time."
"Why would those people do this?"
"In this case, don't we have to stay here for a long time?"
When everyone heard the middle-aged man's words, they immediately started talking.
"The reason why those people want to kill our princess and the prince of Feng Jueguo is naturally to destroy the marriage between the two countries, because the marriage is the most unfavorable for them, and Feng Jueguo can gain a lot from it. They won't get anything good, and they may be attacked by Feng Jueguo," said the middle-aged man before.
"Hey, if you say that, Feng Jueguo is not very safe, and they are also in trouble, so why didn't our Emperor join forces with the surrounding countries to destroy Feng Jueguo first, in that case, we don't have to do it. It's such a shame to get out of marriage." Someone asked suspiciously.
"Do you think it's so simple?" The person said before: "People in the surrounding countries will not think it is so simple. Now in the surroundings, only our Dalu Dynasty and Feng Jueguo are the most powerful. Once we help us If Feng Jueguo was wiped out, then their life would not be easier. Passed, Feng Jueguo destroyed us, and they were also uncomfortable. Therefore, what they want to see most is we and Feng Jueguo. By continuing to fight like this, they can profit from it. However, they secretly develop their own strength, so ah, they certainly won't want to see a successful marriage."
Huang Feng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that among these business people, there are also people who understand political affairs. Huang Feng still agrees with the man just now. The small countries around are not the rivals of Feng Jueguo, nor are they Dalu. North Korea’s opponents, they definitely don’t want to help either side and destroy the other. Even if the Dalu Dynasty wants to find them for cooperation, it will probably not succeed, and will even be calculated by the other side.
And now, Feng Jueguo wants to marry and cease the war with the Dalu Dynasty. This is obviously not what people in the surrounding countries want to see. Therefore, they must be obstructive, and they don’t want to offend any party, at least on the face of it. This is the case. Therefore, it is also necessary to hide their identity. Even Feng Jueguo and Dalu Dynasty know their true identity. However, there is no way without evidence. Moreover, if they are really successful, then even if they know their true identity. The ghosts they engage in will still create suspicions between the Dalu Dynasty and Feng Jueguo.
Therefore, Huang Feng is not surprised about the practices of the surrounding countries, and he can fully understand it. Moreover, he also believes that at this time outside the pass may have been at a war. Once Princess Qi appears there, it is very likely that a big battle will erupt. .
After thinking of this, Huang Feng became more or less interested. He didn't have any specific things to do. Since there will be a war here soon, Huang Feng didn't want to miss it. Moreover, how can I say that he and the princess Qi I knew it too, I had saved the other's life before.
"I don't want her to die so easily. In that case, I saved her before it was in vain?" Huang Feng thought to himself.
With this idea, Huang Feng didn't rush to leave. He planned to stay here for a few more days to see the development of the following things. If possible, he didn't mind trying to save Princess Qi again.
The conversation on the table next to Huang Feng continued.
"That said, isn't the princess very dangerous? Then the court didn't send more people to protect it?" Someone asked, Princess Qi is a princess of the Dalu dynasty after all, even if she is going to be married to Feng Jueguo. I went, but now they are not married, they are still from the Dalu dynasty, and they obviously don't want Princess Qi to have an accident.
"I don't know this. I'm not an official of the court. How can I know what the court is doing?" The middle-aged man shrugged and said, "However, I guess the court will do something, but I won't send too much. People, after all, outside the pass is not our place. Moreover, it is very wide and suitable for cavalry operations. We did not have any powerful cavalry troops in the Lu Dynasty. It may be that Feng Jueguo has gone out of the gate, and they will be responsible for the team of sending off the family. If something goes wrong, their faces will also look good."
"That's true." The person next to him said: "It seems that a great war outside the customs is inevitable. Before that, we want to pass, it is too dangerous and too difficult."
"Yes." The person said before: "However, wealth is in danger. Now most people dare not go out. Those who have the courage to go out and succeed in the end will definitely make a lot of money. God, there are several caravans who have gone out, but they are all big caravans, and there are more than 100 guards accompanying the team. Each of them is strong and has a strong breath. Obviously, they are all good players. We are small businessmen. , Now we can only continue to wait here, and when the outside matter is resolved, let’s go out again."
"It's really greedy. In this case, why don't you make a few times more money?" someone envied.
"Then we can only look at it. Money can definitely make a lot more, but we don't have the life to make it." The person next to it said.
"That is, unless you are willing to take a risk, otherwise, you should stay here honestly and wait until the matter is over before leaving the customs. Although you earn less, but you also earn some, and it is very safe."
"It seems that this can only be the case."
These people usually have a lot of contact with each other, and they are all familiar with them. They operate different businesses. They are of the same size. Although they are stronger than ordinary small businessmen, they are obviously different from real big businessmen. There is a small gap, so in this situation, they can only wait in the barrier, wait until the matter is over, and then set off, even if they are envious in their hearts, it is useless.
Huang Feng had almost eaten here, so he left. However, he did not leave the pass. Instead, he found an inn and stayed here. Because many merchants were forced to stay here, it was a direct result. Most of the inns here are full, and Huangfeng still spent a lot of money to find a place to live temporarily.
The entire pass, because of the stay of the merchants and guards, it seems very lively. Moreover, these merchants are ready to go out to do business, so everyone has their belongings, and they can’t leave the pass for the time being. Take out some transactions in the customs, if this way, it will make the customs more lively.
In the evening, when many people had already rested, Luiza and others who had been staying not far from the customs quietly approached the city wall at this time. As Luiza had predicted before, the guards here were very weak. Except for a few soldiers sleeping in the corner, there was not even a patrolling soldier on the front of the city. Luiza and others easily climbed over the wall and entered the gate.
After entering the customs, Luiza and others did not linger. They walked through the city overnight, exited the customs, and entered the customs. Once outside, Luiza was relieved a lot.
"I'm finally out." Luiza sighed, with a relaxed smile on his face. What happened in Cangling Mountain before is not a good memory for him. He just wants to stay away from here.
Of course, Luiza has not forgotten this. After he has cleaned up the surrounding countries, when he leads the team again to attack the Dalu Dynasty, he must personally tear up the people of the rebel forces in return for the previous Enmity.
"Go, let's go home first." Luiza said.
Because too many entourage died, and he had to hide his identity, Luiza didn’t know some things in the country. He knew from the middle-aged envoy that there would be a team to pick them up outside the gate, but, specifically Where, the middle-aged man has not had time to tell him, and the area outside the pass is vast, it is definitely not an easy task to find a stationed army here.
And Luiza didn't have too many people around, so he decided to go back to the country first. Of course, it would be best if he could meet someone on the road to pick them up.
A group of twenty people continued to rush forward. Because it was still dark, the speed of the crowd was not fast. However, everyone was not in a hurry. They had already exited the barrier, and the rest of the matter was resolved.
"His Royal Highness, there is a bonfire in front." When halfway through the road, someone noticed that there was a faint flame not far away.
Luiza also noticed the fire at this time. He was shocked. The first thing he thought of was that maybe the people who came to pick him up were stationed there.
"Go and take a look." Luiza said.
The group of people moved towards the fire, and got closer, and indeed found that there were quite a few camps there. Obviously, there was indeed a team stationed here.
