Chapter 289 Autumn Killing (Additional Chapter 23 for Leader Chen Zeqing)

"Guard Chen!"

Seeing Chen Yong approaching from a distance, Deacon Qian suddenly became energetic.

However, due to the crossbows pointed at him, he still did not dare to get up. He only knelt there and showed as friendly an expression as possible: "Tell these military lords, I am really a deacon of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance! A third-class deacon!" My last name is Qian!”

The deacons of the entire Four Seas Merchant Alliance are divided into three levels. The third level is the lowest and the first level is the highest. They are responsible for the specific affairs of the entire business alliance. On top of this, there are nine honorary deacons. The honorary deacons are only in name and do not care about secular affairs.

The occasions when they need to come forward are when dealing with other dignitaries of Qi State.

Although Deacon Qian is only a third-class deacon, he is still quite impressive on weekdays. The reason why it has reached this point is really hard to explain.

He arrived in Jiacheng not long ago, but he has already collected a lot of wealth. Taking advantage of the opportunity to master a large amount of life-saving supplies, he sold them at high prices and slaughtered the families of all sizes in Jiacheng into unspeakable misery.

Not to mention Jiacheng, where the Mo family has withdrawn and lost its backbone. Even if the Mo family is still there, what can they do against the Four Seas Business Alliance? Aren't you just letting yourself be slaughtered?

Yangting relied on the Four Seas Merchant Alliance to provide disaster relief and did not dare to offend. What could the counties and cities below do?

For Deacon Qian, this is just a trivial matter, and it is something that the Four Seas Business Alliance has tacitly agreed upon. Just because Jiacheng was leaderless, he went "a little too far".

But the problem is that a large part of the wealth he plundered was put into his own pocket and separated from the part given to the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. Can't see the light.

After learning about Wuhui's sudden change, he immediately took away all the belongings he could take away. There were more than a dozen boxes filled with gold and silver items alone!

In order to hide his property and his identity, he deliberately took a detour to Pingxi County, which was relatively far away. (It is also one of the border counties of Qi State.)

He understood the horror of Wuhu's sudden change, but he did not understand the severity of the Qi army's border blockade.

First, he was reluctant to reveal his identity, fearing that the assets he had acquired would be known to the Four Seas Business Alliance. During the negotiation with the guard sergeant, he tried to bribe him.

As a result, he was almost killed on the spot.

Later, he had no choice but to reveal his identity, but he was expelled because of his previous false performance.

Of course, most of the belongings he brought with him were also confiscated - it is said that this was for the sake of his reputation as the deacon of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.

In desperation, Deacon Qian had no choice but to turn back and follow the trade route of the Sihai Merchant Alliance again, returning home via Dingyao County.

But the border blockade is becoming more and more severe day by day. He lost his waist card in the previous painful encounter and was unable to prove his identity...

Poor Deacon Qian was almost killed on the spot. Fortunately, the sergeant guarding the checkpoint remembered that he had detained a group of people from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance the day before yesterday, so he called Chen Yong to identify them.

How much loyalty can a person have from a boss who takes advantage of him and wipes it out when he is in danger?

If possible, Chen Yong really wanted to say that he didn't know this guy, so he could just let the sergeants kill Deacon Qian!

But his friend was also behind Deacon Qian at this time, kneeling with him in a miserable state.

The two pretended not to know each other, not even looking at each other.

"Hey!" Chen Yong said, "Master Deacon, why are you here?"

"It's a long story." Deacon Qian looked at the sergeant guarding the card and said politely, "Sir, can I stand up?"

In his heart, he wanted to find someone to find connections to teach these big-headed soldiers a lesson after returning home, but at this time, he had to be gentle in front of the crossbow.

Now that his identity has been verified and he knows that he is indeed from Qi, the sergeant guarding the card is not too embarrassed. "Get up."

Deacon Qian was surprised when he saw Chen Yong, but he was such a cunning man, so of course he would not ask questions such as why are you here.

At this time, he left his job and returned to Qi State. Naturally, he knew about the sudden change in Wuhu!

And he never informed this subordinate at all...

But of course a person like Deacon Qian wouldn't be a little bit embarrassed. He just pretended to be concerned and said, "You didn't suffer, did you?"

"Hey, the military officers have strict military disciplines, what hardships can they suffer?" Chen Yong said: "Master Deacon, what is the situation now? Brothers are very uneasy in their hearts."

"Okay! Is this a place for you to chat?" Sergeant Shouka interrupted them with a scolding: "It's over!"

"Hey!" Deacon Qian greeted him after hearing the sound, and took the lead in the direction of Baichuan City.

"I said, get out of here! Go back!" Sergeant Shouka suddenly raised his crossbow and pointed it at them.

"No, hasn't it been proven that I am from Qi?" Deacon Qian was confused: "I am a deacon of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance!"

"No matter who you are, the order we received is that no one from the Yangguo direction is allowed to enter!" The sergeant said: "If you want to enter the city, get a letter from the military headquarters!"

As for the general who was in charge the day before yesterday, he was not here this time.

Deacon Qian was full of evil spirits, but he knew there was nothing he could do with these soldiers.

While he was executing military orders, even if he was actually killed, no one would stand up for him!

The knife is in my heart, I will bear it!

"Then what happened to him?" Deacon Qian pointed at Chen Yong and asked.

"It's impossible for him to enter the city! He is currently being held in a military camp."

"Then you can take us into custody, I can wait!" No matter what, it is impossible for Deacon Qian to return to Yang Country now, that would be too scary.

But all he got was the sergeant's cold response: "No!"

"Why? I'm from Qi, too!" Deacon Qian said, suppressing his anger.

"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. Every day that passes, the situation becomes more severe. You can still retreat now, and come back tomorrow, and I will kill you without mercy!"

"Don't you know what the situation is like in Yangguo now? Do you want me to go back and wait for death?" Deacon Qian felt a ball of blood rushing to his head. He didn't care about what he had to endure humiliation and what there was a long way to go!

But the broken crossbow raised by the sergeant poured him through like a basin of ice water: "Or you can die now!"

Deacon Qian:...

In the end, Chen Yong could only watch Deacon Qian leave with his people in disgrace, including his good friend.

But he didn't dare to say anything. Nothing he said would be of any use.

In the face of the cruel situation of life and death.

The connections and relationships that he was proud of in the past seemed so fragile!

...

Deacon Qian took the remaining part of his property and took a detour. He would rather pay more customs fees and wanted to borrow a passage from other countries to return to Qi.

But at this time, he was horrified to find that it was not just the road from Yang to Qi. The entire Yang was trapped by the army!

As we all know, Qi has nine most elite armies, called the Nine Soldiers.

They are called Spring Death, Summer Corpse, Autumn Killing, and Winter Silence.

They are called Chasing Wind, Cutting Rain, Annihilating Thunder, and Prisoning Lightning.

The first of the Nine Soldiers is called Tianfu. It has always been the army of the emperor personally led by the king of Qi. Now it is led by Jiang Mengxiong, the military god of the Great Qi.

Deacon Qian used his connections to investigate and finally got some news.

The army that blocked the entire territory of Yang was called Qiusha. It was one of the Nine Soldiers of Qi. It was a first-class killing army and the strongest army in the world!

What did Qi Ting want to do? Why didn't the Shangmeng get any news in advance?

…

It was the end of July, and it was already autumn.

The army of Qiusha came in autumn.
