Chapter 301

These two are the spies sent by Xiling. Now there is no food and grass in the frontier fortress. If the emperor of Dongling sends people to send food to the frontier fortress, they rob it in advance. If they fail to do so, they destroy it.

This road is the only way to the frontier fortress in Dongling. If there is any movement, they can know in advance, inform the king of Xiling, and make preparations early!

At this time, the shopkeeper heft the silver in his hand, showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

After attacking the frontier fortress from Xiling, some people came to him and asked him to inquire about the suspicious people.

Every time he inquired, those people would give him some silver coins. These things didn't take much trouble, so he agreed.

But he didn't know what these people were going to do, or whether they were going to find someone, but as long as he had money to take it, he didn't want to know anything else.

It's a long time.

Su Tong was a little impatient at this time, and then said to Zhao Po, "it's been so long, are we OK to enter the frontier?"

"Well, let's get ready. Let's catch up." Zhao Po nodded and then said.

After hearing this, Su Tong said with a smile, "OK!"

Said, Su Tong then walked to one side, said to the person who is resting, "everybody hurry up, we started to go."

Then they entered the frontier.

The passers-by on the way to the frontier fortress came and went in a hurry. Someone with a package on his back went to the outside of the frontier fortress.

It must have been Dongling that defeated Xiling before. Xiling will take advantage of the victory to pursue. People living in the frontier are afraid that Xiling will really break through the frontier, and then they will have no way to go, so they will leave their hometown and live for a long time.

Shortly after entering the frontier fortress, Su Tong pulled the reins of his horse and rushed to Zhao Po. "Brother Zhao, there is no water in our water bag."

"Not much. What's the matter?" Zhao Po then glanced at Su Tong and said.

Su Tong then pointed to the tea stall in front of him and said, "look at the tea stall in front of us. We have been walking for so long. We sit down and drink a bowl of hot tea, and fill our water bag with water."

"We'll be in the barracks soon, and then everyone will..." Before Zhao Po finished speaking, the shop owner saw a group of people coming.

Then he quickly stopped in front of him. "Young man, you've been travelling for a long time. Stop and have a cup of tea and rest. The tea stall here is not expensive. It costs a lot of money

"A penny for a big bowl of tea? Brother Zhao, let's have a rest here. " Su Tong's face was a little surprised after hearing this. Previously, in the Imperial City, a bowl of tea was to be collected for three Wen. Then Su Tong looked at Zhao Po and said again.

The shopkeeper nodded. "If it's not enough, you can add more."

"Brother Zhao?" Su Tong then looks at Zhao Po.

Zhao Po hesitated a little, but nodded for a moment.

Seeing Zhao Po's promise, Su Tong jumped off his horse, and then called the people behind to stop the carriage on the side of the road. Then he ran over and said to Zhao Po with a smile, "brother Zhao, come down."

Then Zhao Po got off the horse and sat down at the table beside Su Tong.

The shopkeeper hurriedly trotted over, took the rag off his shoulder, wiped it on the table twice, and then said with a smile, "wait a moment, you gentlemen, the water will boil in a minute."

"Well, fill this up for us. How much is it?" Su Tong then handed the water bag to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper bent over and took the water bag. Then he said with a smile, "there are so many people in the shop. Let's take one Wen from this bag of water."

"The shopkeeper is really a kind-hearted person, so thank you." Su Tong then looked at the shopkeeper and boasted.

The shopkeeper then nodded his head to Su Tong, then smiled and waved his hand and said, "you're welcome, young man. I set up a tea stand to let passers-by rest."

"This is also true. Now the frontier fortress is in war and chaos. Xiling doesn't know when it will get sick again. On the way, I saw a lot of people leaving the frontier fortress." Su Tong nodded and said.

The shopkeeper then asked, "I don't think you are a businessman. Now all the people in the frontier have gone to other places. Where are you going?"

"We are business people." After listening to Zhao Po, he looked at the shopkeeper and said.

The shopkeeper nodded at this time, and then said with a smile, "it's a coincidence that a group of businessmen passed by not long ago. They came to the frontier fortress to deliver goods. I don't know what you are selling, young man?"

"What we sell is soil..." After Su Tong listened, he blurted out.

Zhao Po at the same time pulled Su together and interrupted, "shopkeeper, are tea good? We are still in a hurry."

"Oh, the water is boiling. Here it is." The shopkeeper said with a smile and turned to the teahouse.

After waiting for the shopkeeper to turn around, Zhao Po looks at Su Tong and says, "keep it down, don't make it public."

Then he brought out the tea.

After drinking half of the tea, the shopkeeper then went to Su Tong with a water bag. "Young man, the water bag is full."

"Well, thanks. Let's put it here." Su Tong swallowed the tea and said.

The shopkeeper nodded and put the water bag on the table.

Zhao Po then asked, "how much money is it?"

"Young master, take the water in the water bag and receive ten Wen from you." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Then Zhao Po took out ten Wen from his body and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and picked it up. He didn't count it, so he put it away.

Zhao Po then frowned slightly and asked, "don't you count?"

"No, all the people are hard-working people. I can't say anything without a word and a half, and you don't look like a rascal." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Zhao Po stood up at this time, tied the water bag to his waist, and then said to Su Tong, "have a drink, let's go."

"Well." Su Tong nodded.

Then he also stood up and said to the person sitting aside, "have you rested? Let's start now when we have rested."

"All right."

"All right."

"If all is well, let's go." Su Tong listened and then said.

Then they went to their respective carriages.

Su Tong then went to Zhao Po. "All right, let's go."

Then they got on the horse and walked with the team.

As soon as Su Tong and others left, the shopkeeper called the people who were guarding the intersection.

Then the two men came up and asked, "what's wrong?"

"Yes, when I asked what was being carried in his carriage, one of them was interrupted by someone nearby. I thought it was very suspicious." The shopkeeper nodded his head and said.

After listening, the two men frowned slightly, then looked at each other, and began to follow the direction of the carriage.

The carriage was not far away, and they soon followed.

Then I watched it carefully.

It can't be seen from the bag what's in it, but from the track marks on the carriage, the things on the carriage don't look light.

Then a man took a dagger out of his arms and hid it in his sleeve. So the passer-by approached the carriage. When he passed by, he reached out his hand and rowed to the bag on the carriage.

The bag was cut by a knife, and the potatoes rolled out of it.

When the driver heard something wrong, he stopped the carriage.

When Zhao Po saw a carriage stop, he turned the horse around and asked, "what's the matter?"

"There's a bag in the car that's broken and potatoes are rolling down." The driver got out of the carriage, looked at it and said to Zhao Po.

Zhao Po's eyebrows slightly wrinkled after hearing this, then he got off the horse and walked forward to check. He saw that the opening on the bag was obviously cut by a sharp weapon.

Then Zhao Po asked the coachman, "who passed by just now?"

"There are so many people here that I didn't pay attention to them. What's the matter?" The horse driver then grabbed his head and asked Zhao Po.

Zhao Po shook his head at this time. "It's OK. Hurry up."

With that, Zhao Po pinched his horse's stomach with his legs and went to the front.

Su Tong then asked, "what's the matter?"

"I suspect that someone has been following us?" Zhao Po then pulled the reins of his horse and stopped at Su Tong and whispered.

"What?" Su Tong can't help shouting after listening.

Zhao Po looked around at this time, and Su Tong understood. Later, he asked incredulously, "how could it be that someone has stared at him?"

"A bag in the back is broken." Zhao po said at this time.

After hearing this, Su Tong was relieved and said with a smile, "brother Zhao, what can it say if the bag is broken?"

"I see. It's artificial." Zhao Po then said.

Su Tong's brow was slightly wrinkled at this time, and then he asked, "maybe it's a passing car or something hanging up."

"In a word, we're going to move faster, we can't delay any more." Zhao po said at this time.

Su Tong nodded, then the team continued to walk.

The man who cut the bag just now came to the other man.

"What is it there?" Sun Shang then asked shangguansan.

Shangguansan frowned slightly at this time. "It's not common in Xiling, but I've eaten it."

"What is it?" Sun Shang asked.

Shangguansan then said, "potatoes."

"Potatoes? What is this? " Sun Shangji asked.

Shangguansan then said, "it tastes delicious and can satisfy your stomach."

"Do you think these will be sent to the frontier?" Sun Shang looked at Shangguan and asked.

I saw shangguansan's eyes were slightly deep at this time, then he shook his head. "I'm not sure. From what the shopkeeper said just now, the people driving the carriage looked like ordinary people."

"Will it be in disguise, so it is?" Sun Shangji said.

Shangguansan sighed at this time, then clapped his hands and said, "take care of him. We'll catch him first. Even if we catch him by mistake, it won't hurt. If we miss him, we won't be able to deal with him. If we don't, we'll have to go in."

"Well, follow them, and I'll send someone over." Sun Shang said at this time.

Shangguansan nodded at this time, "hurry up."
