Jiang Ningqi was not satisfied that he was about to become a merchant, but he did not dare to say anything if he refused. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the King of Chu threw him a more difficult task than the last, and his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

Not to mention that the current situation in Mobei is unclear, they are almost blind, and King Wen is probably waiting for him to contact Bai Jiwu.

Just say that His Highness asked him to kill the followers around King Wen. If he, a civil servant, killed a master like Qi Chenglang, didn't he simply dislike his own longevity?

Jiang Ningqi had the urge to give up his job, but everyone here had family members in Jiangnan. If he dared to say no, his home would be ransacked by His Highness's personal guards before he left the Chu Palace. Got it!

Jiang Ningqi was now riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had to look to Ling Changshi for help.

Ling Changshi first gave him a calm look, and then said: "Your Highness, you mean that they will go to Huizhou to find Qi Chengjun?"

If that's the case, it's understandable.

These trading houses are all good people, and many of them bought salt from Huizhou Salt Farm before.

Now that Huizhou has changed its prefect, and the salt field has been changed from privately owned to imperial owned, people from these trading houses will naturally guess the clues and will not come to Huizhou to buy salt easily.

The arrival of Wen's Trading Company is likely to alleviate the embarrassing situation of no one buying salt in Huizhou Salt Farm.

After thinking about this, Ling Changshi's thoughts quickly turned to Qi Chengjun.

Although Ling Changshi felt that his abilities were extraordinary, he still admired Qi Chengjun very much.

In the past few months in Huizhou, they not only pulled out their nails in Huizhou, but also reported the salt farm incident and cut off one of His Highness's money bags.

His Highness didn't think of any way to send someone to seduce Qi Chengjun. Qi Chengjun didn't believe any of the orphans who sold themselves to bury their father, the brothel courtesans who were hunted down, or the peasants who sacrificed their lives to save Qi Chengjun. He was as simple-minded as an old monk!

The most important thing is that the imperial army sent by the emperor to protect Qi Chengjun during the previous disaster relief did not withdraw. They were all entrenched in Qi Chengjun's magistrate's house, giving them no chance to assassinate him.

If the Wen family really went to Huizhou, I'm afraid things would be in trouble.

He licked his dry lips and whispered: "If it is true as His Highness said, then the people from Wen's Trading Company have probably arrived at the border of Huizhou."

This is the disadvantage of lack of information!

If we could have known about this earlier, no one from the Wen family would be able to come to Jiangnan!

Gu Yufan shook his head: "No! Let them take away the salt from Huizhou and leave the Jiangnan area before they start!"

He suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with knowing the news now.

Wen's people must be very proud that they got the salt, so he would let them come happily and crawl back dejectedly!

Gu Yufan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene where Wen's people saw all the salt they had spent a lot of money on being snatched away by robbers. They were so helpless that they were so angry that they vomited blood.

After a while, he gently wiped the tears of laughter from the corner of his eyes: "Find someone to keep an eye on Huizhou. Once the Wen family's people come out of Huizhou, report them as soon as possible."

He raised his hand, and the housekeeper soon took out the map of Sang Dynasty.

Gu Yufan then stood up and walked over, pointing to a location on the map: "Here."

Ling Changshi and others quickly stepped forward, their eyes falling on the place pointed by Gu Yufan: "This road in Wuzhou is the only way to Jinzhou, and here is a naturally steep place. Cliff."

When the late emperor was still alive, in order to build momentum for Gu Yufan, he also asked him to lead troops to fight in battles. The steep cliff in Wuzhou used to be occupied by bandits. Gu Yufan had suppressed the bandits there, so he naturally had a greater fondness for that area. familiar.

Looking at the familiar map at this moment, Gu Yufan felt a bit like he was as high-spirited as he was when he was suppressing bandits. He pointed to the steep cliff and said: "There are dense trees above this cliff, which is perfect for hiding archers." "Send the order and dispatch sixty bows and arrows." The hands were divided into two groups and ambush on the steep cliff."

Ling Changshi glanced at him without any trace and responded in a low voice.

Gu Yufan moved his finger forward a little and clicked on the map: "Here, let our people ambush here and make some traps on the road. We must not let any of them escape alive."

"And this!" Gu Yuzhi pointed to the road behind the cliff: "This is the official road. There are some tea shops next to it. It is not suitable for ambushes. However, those who are looking for us, even if they want to buy, they must buy from these tea shops. Come down."

The first shop Gu Yuzhi opened in Mobei was the Escort Bureau, and the reason why this Escort Bureau was able to quickly break the blockade of Li Ji Trading Company was because of their excellent connections and martial arts.

Therefore, Gu Yufan suspected that those bodyguards were probably related to Gu Yuzhi's bodyguards.

When Wen's people come to Huizhou to buy salt, they must be bringing people from Wen's Escort Agency, so he wants to be foolproof!

As soon as Ling Changshi heard this, he understood that His Highness wanted to take advantage of their rest in the tea shop to give them some medicine-added tea. Only in this way could they weaken their combat effectiveness without spending a single soldier.

The people in the room discussed carefully and thought of almost all the details. Before dawn, Ling Changshi had already set off for the naval training camp.

Qi Chengjun has been keeping a close eye on His Highness during this period, and His Highness's prince will definitely not be used in this ambush.

Their predictions were almost the same. At this time, Qi Chenglang and others had indeed arrived in Huizhou.

They did not dare to waste time. After entering Huizhou, they went to the salt field without stopping. The salt field servants packed bags of salt. Qi Chenglang was taken to a side room by Qi Chengjun for questioning.

The two briefly communicated and instantly understood the emperor's arrangement.

Qi Chengjun took out the map without thinking: "The people from Liji Trading Company didn't take action when you came, but they will definitely take action after you return."

He pointed to the steep cliff in Wuzhou and said: "After much thought, this place is very suitable for an ambush. Those of you in the dark should not follow the large army. Go there first and check out the spots."

Qi Chenglang chuckled with a proud expression: "Brother, it's too late for you to say this."

Qi Chengjun's heart skipped a beat, and he wondered if something had happened.

But Qi Chenglang had a proud look on his face, and it obviously didn't look like there was an accident.

He was not angry and started beating his hands: "Speak nicely!"

Qi Chenglang cried out twice in a fake tone, rubbing his arm that didn't hurt at all, and humming while holding his head up, like a victorious rooster: "We found out when we came from Wuzhou That’s the place, so…”

He raised his eyebrows and said: "The brothers in the dark have already been ambushing over there. As long as..."

He stepped forward and said in a very low voice: "As soon as King Chu's people show up, they will immediately come to hunt for cicadas!" (End of Chapter)
