Chapter 139
Outside the gate of Changhe Town, Zhao Ergou walked back and forth.His face looked a little decadent, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked over quickly, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "Mayor Jia"

"I don't know why you came here?" Seeing Zhao Ergou's anxious face, Jia Nian omitted the greetings and asked him directly.

Guo Dapang interjected: "Now you can talk."

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have come to look for Mayor Jia, but suddenly the incident happened and I had to come to Changhe Town for help." Seeing that Jia Nian went straight to the point, Zhao Ergou not only didn't get angry, but gave him a high-minded look.

Hearing these words, Jia Nian's heart began to beat violently, but he didn't show it on his face, but asked calmly: "Ask for help? Guizhai has strong strength, how could it be possible to ask for help?"

"How dare you lie about this matter?" Zhao Ergou said solemnly.

Immediately afterwards, the topic changed: "Your town doesn't know something. Not long ago, a yellow scarf suddenly appeared on the other side of Chaohu Lake. They also sent envoys to blackmail my Baifan Water Village. We had no choice but to confront them with swords."

"Due to the shortage of troops, I am here to ask Mayor Jia for help," Zhao Ergou said sincerely.

As soon as the voice fell, I felt a little inappropriate, so I quickly added: "Of course, it is not to let your town contribute in vain. If you are willing to send troops to help, we can reduce half of your town's taxes next year."

"Half of the tax money." A strange look flashed in Jia Nian's eyes, and then returned to normal.

Fatty Guo clucked his tongue: "Guizhai is so brave, it actually reduced half of our town's tax in one fell swoop. You must know that is the tax for more than [-] people."

After finishing speaking, Guo Dapang stretched out the tone of the last word.

"Your town can also choose not to come to the rescue, it all depends on the mayor Jia's decision," Zhao Ergou said.

The anxiety in the eyes also gradually weakened. A pair of eyes fixedly stared at the two of them, as if they wanted to find something out of it.

Jia Nian changed the topic: "As far as I know, isn't the Yellow Turban outside Shouchun City?"

"Shouchun is where our state city of Yangzhou is located. Where the city is high and the pond is deep, how could the yellow scarves come in?" Jia Nian asked knowingly.

Zhao Ergou's attention was immediately attracted to this topic, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "We don't know how this Gepo yellow scarf elite got in."

"Before this town decides to help Guizhai, can you tell us the specific strength of this Yellow Turban?" Jia Nian asked.

Zhao Ergou nodded: "Should, should..."

"According to the information obtained by our water village, the strength of this Yellow Turban army is about [-], including [-] third-tier elites and more than [-] second-tier soldiers." Zhao Ergou paused for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the topic changed: "Although there are [-] soldiers in the water village, the second-tier water thieves only have [-], and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."

"Therefore, I request the villages below to send troops to help," Zhao Ergou said slowly.

Hearing this, Guo Dapang and Jia Nian sneered in their hearts at the same time, like a crowd of eight hundred.At the beginning, there were 890 nine people in the mirror image of the White Sail Water Pirate.It seems that Zhao Ergou is hiding something, he better be careful.

Fatty Guo followed Zhao Ergou's words: "The villages below? Are there many villages below Guizhai?"

"Yes, but the scale is not large, and there is no militia." Zhao Ergou said here with a little bitterness.

Jia Nian asked: "That is to say, we are the only family in Changhe Town to help this time?"

"En" Zhao Ergou replied.

Guo Dapang laughed: "The young and strong in my Changhe Village are only a hundred at full strength. Although they are soldiers now, they are only at the first level. Even if you add the strength of your Baifan Water Village, I am afraid that facing this yellow scarf not enough to see”

"Our purpose is to delay the time, not to fight the Yellow Turban. As long as the prefect returns to help, the crisis will naturally be resolved," Zhao Ergou said awkwardly.

The laughter grew louder, Guo Dapang laughed out of breath: "The prefect returns for help? You are counting on the prefect's reinforcements"

"Big fat, don't be rude." Seeing Zhao Ergou's bitter expression, Jia Nian stopped talking to Guo Dapang.

Zhao Ergou coughed dryly: "It's really difficult to talk about this matter, but it's not impossible to work around it."

"As long as we work together, with Mayor Jia at the front, we will definitely be able to benefit from each other," Zhao Ergou said pointedly.

Jia Nian understood right away, this was because she wanted to use her own identity.But after thinking about it, something was wrong.

The village head protected by Baifan Water Village is not just his own family. Could it be that there is a more far-reaching intention in this? .

Seeing Jia Nian pondering, Zhao Ergou urged: "The military situation is urgent, please give a quick reply from Mayor Jia, so I can go back and report to you."

"Please go back and tell the head of Guizhai that the town will go to the rescue as quickly as possible." Jia Nian paused for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the topic changed: "It's just that this matter is important, and there are still some sundries in Changhe Town that need to be dealt with one by one. After these matters are resolved, how about going to Guizhai?"

"I also ask Mayor Jia to give me a specific time." Zhao Ergou hesitated for a while, but did not let Jia Nian be vague.

Jia Nian smiled, it seemed that Zhao Ergou was cautious enough: "How about tomorrow morning at the latest?"

"Okay, let's make a deal." Zhao Ergou quickly settled on the matter without waiting for Jia Nian to react.

Then he turned around and walked forward, turned on his horse and pulled the reins: "I will wait for the soldiers of Guizhen in the water village, and I ask Mayor Jia not to delay the time and cause bad misunderstandings."

"We will never delay time," Jia Nian said firmly. For some reason, he always felt that there was something deep in Zhao Ergou's words.

Zhao Ergou was determined, and clasped his fists at Jia Nian on horseback: "Farewell"

"Walk slowly." Jia Nian and Guo Dapang returned the salute.

Zhao Ergou pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and galloped forward.

Looking at the back of Zhao Ergou leaving, Guo Dapang pursed his mouth: "Half the tax reduction? They really regard themselves as the imperial court."

"Let's just say a few words, the most important thing for us now is to win the favor of the white sail pirates, don't lose the big because of small things," Jia Nian reminded.

Fatty Guo deliberately sighed: "Then how much do you plan to send troops to help?"

"I don't know." Jia Nian replied honestly: "We still need to add up."

Hearing what Jia Nian said, Fatty Guo touched his chin: "Total."

"Do you have an opinion?" Jia Nian said casually.

Guo Dapang shook his head: "I dare not, I dare not have any opinions."

"This time, will you stay behind or come with me to help the white sail pirates?" Jia Nian asked.

Fatty Guo replied without hesitation: "Of course I am rushing to help. You must know that I am a Taoist. Have you ever seen a Taoist who is afraid of yellow scarves?"

"It's as if you're not afraid." Jia Nian looked at Guo Dapang with a slightly embarrassed look and said, "Aren't you afraid that Tong Damei will run away?"

Fatty Guo glared at Jia Nian: "Which pot does not open and which pot to lift, Tong Damei said that she likes heroes who are indomitable. If I go with you, won't I also become a hero?"

"How can you be witty?" This sentence completely exposed Guo Dapang's sinister face.
