Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 85
The streets of Guangling City are now somewhat depressed, and there are few pedestrians outside the city.

Dozens of soldiers on the tower at the city gate looked warily into the distance, as if Ye Xiaojun was about to kill them.

Under the city tower, twenty soldiers stared at every villager who came and went.

These people are all local residents of Guangling, but fortunately their faces are familiar, otherwise they might be trapped and unable to go anywhere like the dozen or so people under the shed next to the city gate.

At this time, a figure suddenly walked out from the mountain road far outside the city gate. It seemed that he was carrying a heavy load on his shoulders.

"Huh? Go and see! Someone is coming over there!"

The Du Bo, who was guarding the gate, had better eyesight, so he immediately spotted the man and sent two soldiers to walk over.

Uncle Du frowned, seeing the man who was carrying something struggling down the muddy mountain path, and then said something to the two soldiers with a licking smile.

After a long while, the soldier waved his hand and led the man over carrying something, only then did Uncle Du clearly see that it was an old man over half a century old, and he was carrying a load of dry firewood.

In this kind of weather, it is a good choice to pick a load of dry firewood to sell in Guangling.

"Who are you? What are you going to do in the city?" Because of Ji Ling's order, Du Bo had to interrogate the other party carefully, regardless of their age and status, to strictly prevent Ye Xiaojun from entering the city secretly.

So during this period of time, Guangling City has basically cut off contact with the outside world, just like the two merchants and entourages on the other side of the shed, trapped in the city gate and imprisoned, and cannot leave, relying on the goods they brought in exchange for food live.

The old man carrying firewood bowed his waist and came to Uncle Du, panting with difficulty.

"Sir! I'm starving to death. I picked up firewood at the beginning of winter. I want to come to the city to see Mr. Chen in exchange for food."

Dubo looked at the old man carefully, and even turned over the dry wood with his hands, but found nothing unusual.

"My general said that it's not that the residents of this city are not allowed to enter and enter Guangling without a wooden card! Old man, you should go to the village over there to exchange for some food!"

A flash of light flashed under the lowered eyes of the old firewood collector, and he immediately showed a bitter look and begged: "Sir, I can't walk! Please let me go in, I am the only one in my house, and I can't walk to that village. of."

Uncle Du didn't move at all, seeing that the old man carrying firewood was a bit difficult, he showed an angry expression, and was about to speak when a voice came from behind him.

"Huh? Isn't this old Wutou? You're selling firewood again!"

A man came out of the city gate behind Uncle Du, and enthusiastically grabbed the old firewood picker.

"Who are you? Do you know him?" asked the Dubo.

The man bowed respectfully to Uncle Du, took out his wooden ID card and handed it to him.

"My lord, I am Master Chen's steward. I just saw someone who looked like old Wutou from a distance. I came over and saw that it was him. Excuse me, my lord, can old Wutou not enter the city? He comes to our house every time to sell Chai, many people recognize him."

Uncle Du checked the man's wooden sign, handed it back to the other party, and said in a calm tone: "It turns out to be Guanshi Chen. Since you recognize this old man, go in. Remember, if anything happens after you go in, your Chen family will be responsible for it." !"

Manager Chen saluted with a smile and said, "My lord, you are welcome. What can old man Wu do? Otherwise, we can complete the sale of this firewood at the gate of the city."

Uncle Du breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He was afraid of the relationship between the Chen family and Ji Ling in Guangling, so he let go of letting old Wu head into the city. Now that Guanshi Chen is so knowledgeable, it relieved him a lot.

"That's fine, you just go to the side to trade. I'm sorry for Chen Guanshi. It's really the general who has repeatedly emphasized in the past few days that we must not let Xi Zuo enter the city."

Chen Guanshi waved his hands with a smile, saying that there was no problem, and took a servant and old Wutou to the side to deal.

A load of dry firewood can only be exchanged for two pieces of bread, and the transaction is quickly completed.

Chen Guanshi asked his servants to carry firewood, sent old Wutou off, and then greeted Uncle Du and entered Guangling. Everything seemed normal.

However, when he returned to the Chen Mansion, Steward Chen sent his servants away, and after carefully checking the surroundings, he found a few wooden sticks with messages engraved on them in the pile of dry wood.

There was no time for a cup of tea, and Chen Guanshi quickly left with a heavy face, and entered the alleyway on the other side of Guangling City.

Immediately, the news spread from Lujiang to Guangling, and it arrived that Sifanglou was in the hands of the highest level in Guangling.

Knowing the importance and urgency of this news, the top management immediately arranged and implemented it according to Zheng Jiang's plan.

In the evening, Ji Ling had dinner at the City Lord's Mansion, and two delicate maids accompanied him to drink.

At this moment, all the wind and grass within a radius of thirty miles of Guangling City is under Ji Ling's control. When it's time for dinner, Ji Ling is naturally happy to enjoy it.

In Guangling, Ji Ling didn't need to look at Yuan Shu's face, he had the final say on everything, this feeling made him want to stop, and he tasted the sweetness of dominating one side.

"Come on! My lord, have another drink!"

The delicate body in his arms kept arching Ji Ling's chest, making the rough face of this iron-blooded man intoxicated.

"I can't drink any more~ Drinking is a waste of time." Ji Ling resisted the desire to get drunk and have fun, and finally said it, and turned around and was poured another glass by the pretty maid.

"Master General is so powerful, what are you afraid of! Here in Guangling, I don't think anyone dares to say that you are in the wrong, General!" Ji Ling's mind was activated by the maid's words, and she hugged her with a smile.

For a while, the side hall of the city lord's palace was filled with laughter and cries of people, and it was very lively.

"Cough cough!" Suddenly someone coughed in the dark corner of the room, startled Ji Ling pushed away the maid in his arms, pulled out the treasured sword beside him and glared.

The fifty steps around here have already been cleared by him, how could someone break in?
A man slowly came out of the shadows, his face was as inconspicuous as a random passer-by found on the street.

The man slightly arched his hands, took out a black sign with four characters on it and gestured to Ji Ling.

"Don't be nervous, general. Zhang San in the lower Sifang Building has a business and wants to talk to the general. Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I finish talking, and I won't miss the general's business."

Ji Ling heard the words and shouted angrily: "Hmph! It turns out to be a shady square building. Get lost! I, Ji Ling, don't need your deal!"

Zhang San nodded without hesitation when he heard the words, and gestured to leave, saying: "Okay, since that's the case. The general doesn't know he's in trouble, forget it, forget it, I'd better go find Ye Xiao."

When Ji Ling saw the other party retreating, he was about to call the guards and curse him. Suddenly he heard Zhang San's last words, and he was shocked and rushed over to stop the other party.

"Wait a minute! Do you have any information about Ye Xiaojun? Make an offer!"

Zhang San glanced at the two maids with a smile, and Ji Ling immediately waved them down.

"Now you can talk!"

Zhang Sanshi walked to the table and sat down. Regardless of Ji Ling's disgust, he poured a glass of wine and started drinking.

"This business, we can talk about it slowly, the general doesn't need to worry."
