The sky turned gray and it looked like it was going to rain. It was the end of the year and it was going to be the New Year in Guri soon. It was a pity that it would not snow on the New Year in Guri, but it was still hot. The moisture in the air made it hard to breathe, as if they were locked in a sauna. Both Buggy and Enel felt a little depressed. A few days had passed since the last football match, and they found that the number of patrols by the soldiers of the Tianling Fengxing patrolling Guri was increasing. However, the public security in Guri was obviously very good. To be honest, apart from some naughty kids who might run into the fields to steal some sweet potatoes or other crops to roast and eat, there is not even a decent thief in Jiuli.

Many people felt the meaning of this martial law. Especially many merchants who wandered around the townships doing reselling business. They knew the changes in other townships better than anyone else. It was just a small change, such as the recent increase in taxes collected by the general. Not much, but it revealed a bad omen.

Everyone was worried whether the acting general would become a greedy snake, but due to the general's power and various reasons, they were just a little worried.

"Recently, the calendar has become stricter." A businessman lowered his hat and whispered to his companion beside him, "I heard that the guy Sanpingchuan was going to spend money to manage business, but he was arrested for bribery."

For these wandering merchants, it is common to spend some money to manage relationships in order to avoid trouble when traveling between different townships.

"If this kind of thing is really strict, it would be a good thing." Another person said indifferently, "I don't know how much money is spent on those vampires every year! It would be a good thing if the people in those places were like Jiuli."

"That's true." Another person nodded.

"But no matter what, we should be careful recently, don't break the law by accident." The caravan slowly left Jiuli, carrying the food bought cheaply from Jiuli, preparing to transport it to Linghou.

The agriculture in Linghou has improved a lot because of the tillage machines sold by Jiuli, but after all, the climate is there, and the harvest is still very small every year.

In this case, Linghou's food is very dependent on imports from Jiuli. Most of this part of the transaction volume is in the hands of Jiuli Daimyofu, but Huizi knows that after eating meat, he should not be stingy to give others some soup. So he will also release part of the market to some merchants.

It is precisely because of this that Jiuli has become a place where merchants flock to. If there is no profit to be made, it will be difficult for Jiuli's foreign trade to become prosperous.

However, this time their plan seems to have gone a little wrong.

After leaving Jiuli, the caravan was soon spotted by a group of people in Ximei. The guards who were transporting the goods soon discovered the opponent's flaws and drew their swords to be alert.

At this time, under the fearful expressions of the two merchants, a group of ronin with ragged clothes and torn hats on their heads slowly surrounded them.

"Oh, business is coming to the door."

"Who are you?" The guards looked solemn. Although these ronin warriors in front of them were dressed shabby, they could find that they were all tall and strong men with strong bodies after a closer look, and they did not look like real ronin.

"It's just exiled wild dogs, wild people." The guy who looked like a leader carried the back of the knife on his shoulder, and his eyes under the hat emitted a bloodthirsty red light.

The so-called Nobushi are just beggars in the mountains, naturally not worth mentioning. But perhaps it is not wrong to call them bandits.

"There should be a lot of valuables in these boxes, right? Leave these and you can go away!" The leader of the Nobushi said arrogantly with his chin raised.

"Your Excellency is so rampant, aren't you afraid that the army of the Hime Daimyo will come to wipe out your gang of thieves?" One of the samurai said angrily. It was the first time he saw such a rampant thief, and he couldn't hold back his temper at all.

The Nobushi, like wild dogs, sneered: "Interesting, brothers, since these people don't know what's good for them, let's do something big."

As the man said, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then these people showed cruel

.

This scene, let alone the two merchants, even the guards couldn't help but feel timid, and their hands holding the swords were shaking.

"Wait, fellow warriors!" One of the merchants saw that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted, "I am just doing a little business, these are just some resale grains that are not worth much money. If you like, take them. If it doesn't hurt our reputation, it can be regarded as making friends."

As a businessman, no one wants to give up their property, not to mention that they have spent a lot of money to hire so many guards. This time should be the time for them to be put to use.

But the businessman obviously noticed the difference in strength between the two sides. These guards are definitely not the opponents of these people, and these so-called "Nobushi" look like they are well-trained. This made him wonder if he had offended some big shot.

"Finally, there is someone who knows what's good for him. In this case, let these people throw away their weapons." Nobushi waved his hand and left with the property of the two merchants.

Before leaving, seeing that some people still seemed unconvinced, he laughed loudly, "What a coward! Are you planning to go find Hime's daimyo? How naive."

Seeing that these people had gone far away, another merchant slowly spoke.

"That guy, what does the last sentence mean? Could it be that they are colluding with Hime's daimyo?"

"Who knows..." Another merchant shook his head, his face was ugly, but he was also helpless.

Similar things like this have begun to appear in many places across the country. These so-called wild people are naturally sent by Kurozumi Orochi.

With Kaido as a scapegoat, his actions are also speeding up.

The purpose of these wild people is to work with the local underworld to temporarily delay the power of the daimyo of each village, so that he can have the mind to completely control the entire Flower City!

He no longer needs to show that hypocritical attitude in front of others. Instead, he can completely release his hatred and resentment!
