This camel caravan was the caravan that Long Chen sneaked into Xingqing City.
After all the officials brought by Baili Bing were appointed, they immediately set off back to the capital.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, she has many things to do and cannot stay here for a long time.
Before leaving, Bai Libing specifically told her that the empress had a decree that all the newly conquered cities in Xixia would be under Long Chen's jurisdiction. These appointed officials would also report government affairs to Long Chen.
Long Chen immediately refused and asked them to report directly to the Empress.
The newly conquered city must be full of problems, so Long Chen was unwilling to take over. If he wanted to, he would bother the empress.
Baili Bing smiled coquettishly, said nothing more, and returned to the capital with a few guards.
After Baili Bing left, Long Chen immediately set out for Panhe Palace in the name of escaping the summer heat.
After walking a few dozen miles, the others continued towards Panhe, while Long Chen took Feng He towards Xingqing City.
This time they were still disguised as a caravan, and their route was to pass through Guancheng, and then continue west to Xingqing City.
In fact, it is possible to bypass Guancheng, but Long Chen wanted to come to Guancheng to see the situation, so he chose this way.
There were many tents outside Guancheng, and the morale of the soldiers seemed to be low, and they were all sparse.
After suffering so many defeats in a row, it is normal for morale to be low.
Soldiers carrying weapons patrolled the city walls, and soldiers were always on guard at the city gate.
The reason why Guancheng is called Guancheng is because it is a pass.
To the north is Bailang Mountain and to the south is a city, leaving a long and narrow passage in the middle.
Through this passage, you can enter the hinterland of Xixia.
Dozens of soldiers with bright armor were standing on both sides holding troops, and merchants walked through the middle.
These soldiers were not to guard against merchant travelers, but to guard against other soldiers.
When the defeated troops arrived at Guancheng, the military discipline was very chaotic, and the passing merchant travelers were killed, plundered, and frightened to the point that no one dared to pass through Guancheng.
Xiao Liang immediately reported to Shi Le, and Shi Le issued the king's order not to allow soldiers to plunder the merchant travellers, and ordered Xiao Liang to send troops to protect him.
"Old Feng, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Long Chen asked with a smile on the camel's back.
Feng He immediately changed his color and said: "Master, don't mess around."
Feng Hezhen was worried that Long Chen would rush into Guancheng alone on a whim.
There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Guancheng. It is definitely impossible for Long Chen to conquer a city by himself, but there is no problem in making a big fuss and then retreating calmly.
Long Chen smiled and rode his camel forward.
"Come down!"
When we reached the pass, the guarding soldiers yelled at us.
After passing the pass, everyone must dismount and horses are not allowed to pass.
Long Chen slowly got off the camel's back. Feng He held the camel, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Jun, I am a small businessman."
The soldier stared at Feng He and Long Chen for a while, then carefully checked the men and goods behind him, and asked: "Where are you from, and what are you doing in Daxia?"
Feng Heman came to make people laugh, shook out a few gold coins from his sleeves, quietly stuffed them into the soldiers, and said: "Master Jun, we are merchants from Xifeng City, selling wine and wolfberry."
"We transport wine from Xifeng City to Wangcheng, and then transport wolfberries back from Wangcheng."
"These are small businesses, and the military master is accommodating."
The soldier received the gold coins and asked with some confusion: "Why haven't I seen you?"
Feng He said with a flattering smile: "Master Jun, nobles often forget things. I am a clerk at the Jade Buddha Tower in Xifeng City. I have been here twice."
With that said, Feng He stuffed a few more gold coins into it.
The soldiers collected the gold coins, but still stared at the camel team's carriage and refused to let it go.
"Master, wait a moment."
Feng He immediately brought two jars of liquor over and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, Master Jun. Let's drink some thin liquor to quench our thirst."
The soldier opened the lid and smelled the tangy aroma of wine, and then he said happily: "I remembered it, I have an impression, let's go."
Feng He immediately led the camel through the pass, walked a few hundred meters west, and entered an open area.
"Damn it, these bastards are too shady. I gave them twelve gold coins and even took two jars of wine from me."
Just now, Feng He was smiling, and after passing the barrier, Feng He started to curse.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't be so stingy. It's just twelve gold coins and two jars of wine. When I enter the palace, I will give you double the amount."
Feng He's expression changed, and he asked with a smile: "Sir, can you take me with you this time? I also want to enter the palace and have some fun."
"I heard that Concubine Li is the most beautiful in the harem, more graceful than Concubine Li, but Concubine Li is good at flattery, so she is the most favored in the harem."
Long Chen sneered and said: "Take you to sneak into the palace? Okay, come with me to the cleansing room, and I will take you in."
Feng He immediately refused: "I am the only one in my family. If I go to the cleansing room, the incense in the old Feng family will be cut off."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Then there is no other way. I can't bring a man into the palace, right?"
At this point, Feng He was very curious and asked: "Sir, you are not a eunuch now, how did you sneak into the palace without being discovered?"
The last time Long Chen arrived at the palace, he still disguised himself as a eunuch.
Feng He felt very strange. Long Chen was no longer an eunuch. How did he disguise himself?
Long Chen smiled but didn't answer. He couldn't tell Feng He because he had practiced the Yin cultivation method and was able to hide his second brother.
"Sir, I have been following you for several years, but you still refuse to tell me about this matter?"
Feng He guessed that there was something fishy and aroused his curiosity.
Long Chen smiled, but still didn't answer.
Rumble...
A dozen horses suddenly rushed out from the front. There were a dozen strong men sitting on the horses. They were carrying waist knives and their faces were covered with black cloth, blocking Long Chen's way.
The law...
The horse neighed when he got down, and the sound was very clear. It sounded like a good horse.
Long Chen stopped, and the caravan also stopped.
"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to live here, I will leave money to buy the road."
The leader of the thieves scolded him with a knife in his hand, a look of greed in his eyes.
Long Chen squinted at the dozen or so people opposite him. From the way they sat down on their horses, the weapons in their hands, and the figures of these people, Long Chen judged that these dozen or so people were not horse thieves, but soldiers.
During times of war, it is not uncommon for soldiers to rob a family of bandits.
"Brothers, we have just paid the toll, and you are blocking the road here again. Isn't it too unruly?"
Feng He was not afraid at all and said with a cold smile.
There were no other caravans around, only Long Chen and a dozen people, and Feng He didn't bother to pretend to be afraid.
Seeing the caravan so calm, the horse thief was confused.
"What toll?"
The horse thief spoke in a bad tone, and more than a dozen horses surrounded Long Chen and his party.
"Just now at the pass, we gave you money."
Feng He said with a smile.
The horse thief scolded sternly: "What the hell is your mother talking about? It belongs to the government, what does it have to do with me!"
Feng He chuckled and said: "You are also soldiers. I have already paid the tolls at the pass. You charge me again. This is a bit too much."
The horse thieves were slightly surprised, with fierce looks in their eyes.
"Hahaha... Not bad, you can actually find out that we are soldiers!"
"I don't like smart people, you know too much."
The leader of the horse thief simply took off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a face full of beards.
"You don't like smart people, and I don't like fools. You don't like me, and I don't like you."
Feng He sneered.
