More than a dozen Xia soldiers at the gate of the city checked the people entering and leaving, and there were also several squads patrolling back and forth at the head of the city.

Su Jin and the others walked to the gate of the city, and the moment they stepped on the drawbridge, everyone's hearts were pounding nervously, but the soldiers guarding the gate were not interested in them, because there happened to be a female dependant of a large family out of the city, and the two sisters in the family were as tender as water, and they made all kinds of graceful gestures at the defenders, so that the defenders were lustful.

Su Jin secretly called it lucky, and while they were paying attention to the two women who entered the city, he quickened his pace and passed through the passage between the two rejected horses and entered the city gate hole.

Before Su Jin had time to sigh his luck, he suddenly saw more than a dozen cavalry Xia troops galloping towards him, and everyone hurriedly avoided to the side, the cavalry came to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly straightened up and saluted, and heard a fierce-looking officer at the head ask loudly: "Is there anything unusual today?" ”

A squad leader stepped forward and said, "Back to Commander Li, there is nothing unusual, everything is normal." ”

Commander Li said coldly: "You can't take it lightly, you have a leak and ask for your head." ”

The squad leader hurriedly said: "Commander Li, don't worry, how can there be a mistake, my eyes are wide, and the investigation is very tight, and there will be no accident." ”

"Hmm." Commander Li nodded, raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly saw the backs of Su Jin and a dozen others walking towards the city, and suddenly shouted: "Those few, stay." ”

Su Jin's heart perked, and the hands of Wang Dynasty Mahan and others unconsciously put on their waists, where there were short daggers hidden in the inner belt.

"Stop, it's just a few of you, wearing Han clothes and carrying baskets." While shouting, the commander rode his horse to catch up with Su Jin and the others who pretended not to know how to continue walking towards the city, and the accompanying dozen or so horsemen also rushed past Su Jin and the others like a whirlwind, blocking Su Jin and the others at the exit of the city gate.

"If you stop but don't stop, are you looking for death?" Commander Li shouted, reaching out to touch the scimitar on his waist.

Su Jin hurriedly stopped, took off his hat and arched his hand: "I didn't know that the general was telling me to wait, offended." ”

Commander Li looked up and down at the group of people in front of him, and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

Su Jin arched his hand and said: "Don't hide it from the general, we are private businessmen from the south." ”

Commander Li had already seen that these people must be Song people, as long as Su Jin lied and said that it was the Great Xia clan, he would immediately order the arrest of these people, and Su Jin's unconcealed identity made him a little surprised.

"Since you are from the Song Kingdom, when you and I are at war, what are your intentions in sneaking into Huizhou City? Say! ”

Su Jin arched his hand and said: "The general's words are wrong, why did we sneak into the city?" We obviously came in after an examination at the city gate, and we only came to your country to do business. ”

"Phew, the two countries are hostile, and the trade route has long been cut off, what kind of business are you here to do?"

"General, a war is a war, and business still has to be done."

"I don't think you're doing business, but like you're here to do fine work, and people have kidnapped and taken them away, and tortured them severely." Commander Li shouted loudly.

More than a dozen soldiers got off their horses and were about to move, Su Jin shouted while struggling: "Your country is too abrupt, I think my Lanzhou Mansion also has many private merchants from your country, although the two countries are at war, but my Song people have never been so rude to the merchants of your Xia Kingdom, we have also done business in various parts of your country, but I have never seen such rude officers and soldiers in Huizhou City, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it." ”

Commander Li waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop, got off the horse and approached Su Jin, stared into his eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to be very sharp-toothed, the more I look at you, the less you look like you're in business." ”

Su Jindao: "Of course, I can't escape the eyes of the general, I was a talented student, and my parents wanted me to be admitted to the imperial examination, but unfortunately I failed to deliver the canopy, so I had to take over the family business and start a business." ”

Commander Li suddenly asked, "Where does your family live in Lanzhou?" What kind of business do you do in your home? ”

"My family lives in the abduction building in Dongcheng, Lanzhou Prefecture, and Su Ji on the street of Yangherfang is my family's industry, and it is a cloth business on the surface, but I don't hide it from the general, and secretly I am doing the green salt trade of your country."

"Selling salt is a capital crime, don't you want to die?"

Su Jin suddenly smiled: "I can't answer the general's question, I just want to say that 'people die for money, birds die for food' in businessmen are naturally for the purpose of profit, although the court of my Song Kingdom prohibits the sale of green salt, but the general doesn't know, the more forbidden the business, the more huge the profits, and besides, I said that I was acting in secret, how could I let the government know; this is the general in your country's territory, how can I say it." ”

Su Jin's answer was seamless, although Commander Li couldn't find a flaw, but he always had some doubts in his heart, Su Jin knew that he might not believe it, gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk, so he said softly: "How about the general take a step to speak?" ”

Commander Li shouted: "You don't play tricks, this commander doesn't eat your set." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "The general misunderstood, I just can't speak in front of so many people." ”

Commander Li said: "If you have something to say, say it." ”

Su Jin said: "Okay, if the general has doubts about our identity, you might as well ask General Po Chaolong, the quartermaster in this city, he is an old acquaintance with me, and naturally knows that what I said is true, if his words can't dispel the general's doubts, then I have nothing to say, just when I was unlucky, I came to your country to do business at this time." ”

Commander Li frowned and said, "Quite Chaolong? How do you know him? ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "The people of businessmen, although there are some small profits, but they need to travel thousands of miles, and what they earn is actually hard money, because we have traveled all over the world, so naturally we have made a lot of friends. At home, I rely on my parents to go out and rely on my friends', if there are no friends to help, I will naturally have a lot of inconvenience outside; General Po Chao and I also hit it off at first sight, so we became friends, this time I came to Huizhou to visit him, otherwise Huizhou is not out of green salt, and I heard that the city has a lot of investigations on our businessmen from the south today, why should I ask for trouble? It is really the righteousness of friends, and besides, I also believe that your people are reasonable and will not harm the innocent. ”

Commander Li was a little convinced by Su Jin's nonsense, of course he knew that the Quartermaster Department was quite Chaolong, the Weizhou front line was fighting, and the supply of grain and grass was the top priority, and the Quartermaster Department was the first critical department of the Huizhou Government at this moment, responsible for all the responsibilities of transporting grain, grass, arrows, armor and weapons to the front line.

The reason why Su Jin put forward the name of quite Chaolong is to increase the credibility of the lie, and secondly, he also knows that Po Chaolong escorted grain to the front line in Weizhou, and he will never be able to come back in five or six days, which is called impossible to verify.

Commander Li pondered for a long time, looked at Su Jin and said: "If you come to visit Po Chaolong, you can turn back and leave the city, as far as I know, he went out of the city on business, and he won't be able to come back in five or six days." ”

Su Jin was stunned and said, "Is it going to take so long?" That's not a coincidence. ”

"So you'd better turn back."

Su Jin frowned and said, "Where can we go at this time?" It's all afternoon, and it's going to get dark before the next town, so the general promised me to stay in Huizhou for one night, and I'll leave tomorrow, and when we have purchased the goods and return to the south, we will come to visit quite a super capital, and then we can also invite the general to have a glass of wine and make friends with him. ”

Commander Li said: "This commander and don't have time to deal with you businessmen who don't want to die, or not, only one night, you must leave tomorrow, the city has been very strict against you southerners in the past few days, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you, if it weren't for the sake of you and other acquaintances who have been upgraded, you will never be allowed to enter the city today." ”

Su Jin thanked him again and again, took two gold ingots from Lu Laosan's hand with a look, and quickly stuffed them into Commander Li's hand and said, "Thank you General for your accommodation, I am grateful, I am grateful." ”

Commander Li quietly caged into his sleeves, and his face became a little softer: "My Great Xia Imperial Court has made it clear that although you are a private businessman, it also plays a role at this time, so I am more tolerant of you; You have to be low-key in your own actions, especially in the past few days, you also know the reason, you Song people are despicable, and you have killed the two Yeli kings of the left and right chamber military divisions, so it is understandable that you have been harshly interrogated recently. ”

Su Jin smiled: "I understand, the general can rest assured, stay for one night and leave tomorrow." ”

Commander Li waved his hand, turned around and got on his horse, waved his hand and galloped away. Su Jin stretched out his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his face, it was really not easy to get in, he almost missed the horse's feet, and he didn't know if his words persuaded the commander, or if the name of Quite Chaolong played a role, or if the two ingots of gold played a role, in short, as long as he passed the risk, he didn't have to think about it.
