Chapter 101

At dusk, Ren Ning rushed to Caopu County to join Lei Er.

The three entered the inn, sat down and chatted while eating.

Lei Er talked about what he saw in the east, which was similar to what Ren Ning saw and heard.

Xiao Gang's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard the two people's words, "Burn the medicinal fields by yourself, hide the medicinal materials, and then plant them on Nan Feng?"

"How is it possible? You must have been deceived."

Ren Ning glanced at him, "Xiao Gang, do you understand the situation here?"

"Although I haven't been here before, I know something about it." Xiao Gang nodded and shook his head again, "Brother Ren and Lei Er, do you know who owns most of the medicine fields in Baihua County and Canglan County?"

"That's not very clear." Ren Ning and Lei Er shook their heads in unison.

"It's no wonder." Xiao Gang, the real noble N generation, was stunned.

"You know that iron and salt are almost all controlled by the imperial court or the royal family. Salt means fiscal revenue, and iron means military weapons. Anyone who touches these two things will be killed."

"The medicinal materials are not as exaggerated as salt and iron."

"But there is no medicinal material, and the soldiers cannot be cured when they are injured or sick, and the disease and epidemic in the country cannot be controlled. So what if there is money and soldiers? It will not be possible. Therefore, the royal family controls at least half of the medicine fields."

Speaking of which, he had a strange expression on his face.

"Most of us are surrounded by royal pharmacies, and they don't have to pay taxes at all. Are you sure the managers in the pharmacies will hide their output for tax cuts or subsidies? It's impossible."

"Moreover, generally speaking, as long as the management is not doing well, such as failing to hand over enough medicinal materials every year. Whether it is due to weather or man-made reasons, the clan will directly replace or even beheaded. It is just a small servant, no one will I care about their difficulties. Therefore, it is impossible to hide the output by burning the medicine field."

"If the people from Nanfeng didn't touch it and burn it..." Xiao Gang suddenly fell silent, "Then the members of the clan who manage these medicine houses have united to hide and deceive His Majesty."

This is not something they can touch.

The three of them stopped talking, and clattered through the food.

"After dinner, let's leave immediately while the city gate is still open," Ren Ning said.

"Why?" Xiao Gang was dumbfounded, almost choking on the food.

He subconsciously looked at the sky outside, "It's going to be dark soon. At this time, there is no way out of the city, so it's hard to find a place to spend the night."

At that time, I will have to sleep in the mountains and forests, and that kind of taste is not very good.

Lei Er patiently explained to him.

"We went around today to ask about the situation of medicinal materials, and we may have been targeted by someone with a heart. If our identity is really a caravan buying medicine, there may be no problem, but we are not. For safety, we temporarily change to a place to rest. Lest we really get caught dumpling."

Xiao Gang cheered up, "So there might be a war?"

These days, his hands are itchy.

Lei Er glared at him.

"Don't you forget what Zhuangzi we said just now? If something really happened, can you imagine who will come and how many people will there be?"

"There are only three of us and we don't have three heads and six arms. We don't want to be disappeared suddenly, so we have to finish eating and leave."

Xiao Gang finally came to his senses, shivered immediately, and crazily picked up the rice.

He didn't want to die before he left the school.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Sanqi left Caopu County from the south gate, ran forward for a while, turned around and headed east quickly.

Xiao Gang turned his head and glanced to the west.

Zhennanguan is not in Baihua County, but in the neighboring Guangxin County, which is located in the southwest of Baihua County.

They are now heading east.

The sky gradually darkened.

After all, it is the border area. Except for the main post road, the other roads are full of potholes and difficult to walk.But in Baihua County, as long as the terrain is flatter the further east it is, the faster the mount will run.

Passing a hill with dense bushes.The three of them abandoned the road and climbed the mountain, and found a hidden place before stopping to rest.

Look at what you two are doing.A good inn doesn't sleep, and insists on going out of the city to hide, which drives me crazy.

Xiao Gang didn't dare to say this, and followed Lei Er everywhere to set up guards and eliminate traces.

After more than half an hour passed, the two touched back, but there was no sign of Ren Ning.

"Hey, where did Brother Ren go?" Xiao Gang scratched his arms.

It was late autumn at this time, but the weather in the south was still extremely hot, so he was wearing very thin clothes.Just now, when I was drilling around in the dense forest and shrubs, I was cut a few times by various plants, and it was numb and itchy.

Lei Er inspected the three horses, took out some broad beans and handed them over. Seeing that Xiao Gang didn't want them, he threw them into his mouth and gnawed them.

He leaned on a small bush, "Don't worry, you won't lose your old job. He has something to do, so you can take a good rest."

Xiao Gang nodded, chose a flat place nearby, picked some leaves to make a bed, and then lay down holding his silver gun.

It's just that he couldn't sleep, and his ears were pricked up.

Expecting to hear something and worrying about what to hear, I have mixed feelings at the same time.

Lei Er didn't care about it, and fell asleep quickly after eating the beans.

Tossing and turning, at some point, Xiao Gang, who had been driving all day, finally fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Lei Er suddenly opened his eyes.

It turned out that Ren Ning drilled back.

"Old Ren, what's the situation?" Under the faint moonlight, he glanced at the telescope in Ren Ning's hand.

"Twenty people came from two miles to the west, and they are chasing the horseshoe prints. The strength is not bad, at least not those Zhuang Ding in Hanoi County." Ren Ning said.

The red value of this group of people is around 50, which can be easily won under normal circumstances without much effort.

Lei Er felt strange in his heart.

He didn't know how Ren Ning measured the opponent's strength, but he didn't ask.

"Is the other party coming for us?"

"should be."

"Then kill them?" Lei Er's tone became sinister and bloodthirsty.

"Yes." Ren Ning nodded.

Lei Er immediately went to wake Xiao Gang up.

"What's the matter? It's in the middle of the night." Second Young Master Xiao still couldn't open his eyes, and asked in a daze.

"Wake up! Take your weapons, as you wish, there is a battle going on." Lei Er said.

Xiao Gang woke up all of a sudden, and quickly listened carefully to the movement around him.

However, he heard nothing except the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the sound of the three horses.

"It's still far from here. Let's go to ambush first." Lei Er said.

"Oh." Xiao Gang rubbed his hands hey, "How many of them are there?"

"Not many, only twenty! But it's not Zhuang Ding who came back, and they may have cloud-piercing arrows or police posts on them, so there may be pursuers in the future."

"So you have to be quick and ruthless, and never let it go if you can kill it. Do you understand?"

Xiao Gang was taken aback and quickly nodded, followed him to the foot of the mountain.

Ren Ning ignored them and found a good position by himself.It can not only help Lei Er and the others, but also observe farther places.
