The leader was holding a ring-headed knife in one hand and a hook in the other. He turned out to be a young man in his early twenties. The others also looked very brave and cruel, not like a businessman at all, but had a bit of banditry.

The first thought that came to Zhou Yang's mind was whether these guys were black bandits or something.

Now Luoyang has ordered Xu Huang, Le Jin and Li Diansan to go to the feint attack on Henan. If you have the chance, you will expel or wipe him out.

And would these people be Black Mountain bandits pretending to be caravans?

The other party's boy who was stolen with his sword and was obviously also seeing Zhou Yang, and signaled everyone to stop, looking alert.

This made Zhou Yang even more suspicious, so he walked to the way ahead of them and asked, "Who are you?"

The boy didn't seem to know Zhou Yang, but he was the current prefect of Luoyang. He asked with a puzzled look: "Why should I tell you? Do you want to rob our wealth?"

Zhou Yang looked at the tiger roaring spear in his hand, thinking that he was holding the weapon and approaching the caravan. No wonder he had such an idea.

However, when the other party talked about robbery, it seemed like it was common, and he was just keeping alert and didn't look scared at all. It seemed that it was not an ordinary caravan.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you can live in the weapons in the hands of men, you can take whatever you like." The young man snorted coldly.

"Is that true?" Zhou Yang couldn't help feeling itchy in his hands when he saw that he looked down on him a little.

Then try this kid's skills!

When the boy saw that the other party was trying to meet him, he turned around and waved the ring-headed knife in his hand to the buddy who came with him, and really regarded himself as a star.

It was too late to say it, then it was soon.

The two of them fought as soon as they said they could, and both sides immediately attacked each other.

The young man cooperated with one knife and one hook, but in Zhou Yang's eyes, the other party's movements were very slow, and he muttered in his heart that the young man was good at slapping skills, but at most he was like Cheng Bing and Zhao Qi.

It’s just that Zhou Yang didn’t plan to start a fight, but just wanted to find out the other party’s background, and he didn’t expect to make this young man too embarrassed in front of so many people.

So he blocked the gun twice, and quietly slapped the other person's chest twice with his hands on the back of his hand.

The boy turned his back to everyone, so no one could see the situation when Zhou Yang hit him, but he knew that he was giving him a step. He quickly took a few steps back and looked at Zhou Yang again.

"Acknowledge it." Zhou Yang put away the tiger's roar and iron spear.

"What do you want?" The young man knew that he was no match, but he just boasted that he would take whatever he wanted if he could use weapons.

However, he also saw that Zhou Yang was not interested in these trucks, let alone any bandits, so he asked this question.

Zhou Yang didn't want to let the other party know who he was so quickly, so he asked back: "I don't want to do anything. Since we have a draw, I'll satisfy my curiosity and tell me what you are doing in Luoyang, right?"

As soon as this was said, the other dozen other buddies were dissatisfied with sword dancing, and shouting like "If you lose, you will lose, why are you going to draw? Or you will fight again, or you will fight with me."

But after the boy compared his hands, these people immediately did not dare to speak. When everyone was quiet, he replied: "We came from Xuzhou. The purpose is very simple. We wanted to go to Luoyang to do some business, sell some things, and buy some things to go back to sell, that's all."

Zhou Yang glanced at the trucks and questioned: "It's that simple?"

The boy said, "It's really that way. The problem is that what does it have to do with you? This batch of goods is what the city officials want. We finally got it. It's not good to delay major issues."

"The high-ranking official of Luoyang?" Zhou Yang thought to himself that he would probably have the highest official position in Luoyang City, so he asked, "Who wants it? Lord Wei Ji?"

"No, he's nothing!" the boy said wildly.

"Oh? That's...?"

"What Zhou Yang and Zhou Taishou wanted, have you heard of this name! Are you scared?" The young man said proudly.

"Well, I have heard of it. It turns out that you are a friend of Zhou Taishou. I am really disrespectful." Zhou Yang said as he laughed in his heart, but he did not reveal it.

"And the friendship is quite good." The young man said jealously, "So this batch of goods is specially designed to solve the urgent needs of the prefect Zhou. Now Luoyang City is right in front. I think you should not cause trouble."

Zhou Yang made way out of humility and disrespectfully, and then secretly decided to follow them quietly, to see how they went to find "Premier Zhou" and solve the so-called "urgent".

These people are not very good at it. It seems that the boy just now is the most outstanding among them.

Therefore, with Zhou Yang's agile figure, the other party and Ben could not notice that they were being followed.

I am afraid that I will be recognized by the old people in Luoyang City. After all, Zhou Yang's original appearance was still the one who saved these tens of thousands of locals back then. If he became the target of public criticism, they would definitely find it.

That's why he had to buy a cloak first and then cover the hood as low as possible.

Despite this, there were still many people observing him.

Fortunately, he was far away from the caravan, so he could easily get rid of the people who started to pay attention to him.

Finally, the caravan did not go directly to the prefect's house. The relationship between the young man and the prefect Zhou was naturally a fool.

However, they came to the military camp, and it seemed that they did have some deals with the officials in Luoyang.

At present, the important figures in the military camp are all carrying out their respective tasks, and only Cheng Bing, whom Zhou Yang trusts the most, is left behind.

This guy never needed to attend military meetings because he knew that he was not as talented as those generals. Instead, he was trusted by Zhou Yang and could be responsible for some relatively relaxed but more important tasks in the barracks.

And this group of caravans found Cheng Bing and talked with him for a long time.

Zhou Yang saw Cheng Bing's overjoyed expression from afar. It seemed that this batch of goods was really going to be sold to Luoyang, and these people were indeed merchants.

Since he was not a spy pretending to be a black bandit, he naturally did not intend to continue to be wary and did not expose the teenager's lies on the spot.

After all, people need face and bark. Perhaps this batch of goods is indeed of great help to Luoyang. If you offend the other party, it may not be of any benefit.

So when he was about to leave, he found that Cheng Bing's face changed slightly, and he was obviously having an argument with the boy.

The young man carried a ring-headed knife with one hand and a hook with the other hand, and did not let his subordinates help him with it. He seemed to think that he was more majestic and more vigilant.

However, although Cheng Bing is not a big man who is used to the storm, he is deeply trusted by Zhou Yang and is a soldier from Xiliang horseback. He is not so easily scared. He immediately called dozens of soldiers to help him.

It seemed that the two sides started to argue over something, and Cheng Bing insisted on not buying the boy's account.

Zhou Yang knew that 80% of the boy was scary with his name again, but unfortunately he met Cheng Bing, the real Zhou Taishou's good brother.

It doesn't matter, Cheng Bing can handle this matter.

Besides, the other party has no background. If he really wants to fight, Cheng Bing will definitely have the upper hand. After all, this is his own territory.

In the end, of course, the boy didn't give Cheng Bing a deal. It seemed that he didn't plan to do this business, so he decided to go home.

"This kid!"

Zhou Yang muttered in his heart, and only showed up after they left.

When Cheng Bing saw him, he naturally changed his attitude and said, "The Prefect Zhou was back at the right time."

Zhou Yang didn't need to be polite to him, so he asked directly: "Who were those people just now?"

Cheng Bing said: "Did you see it all?"

Zhou Yang nodded, then put his hand on his shoulder and smiled, "Let's go into the tent and tell me what's going on."

It turned out that the young man had a surname of Wu Fang. The son of Wu Dun, one of the generals of the Yellow Turban Uprising, is now accompanied by Zang Ba, Yin Li, Sun Guan and others as the Four Detachments of Taishan.

However, these Yellow Turban Remnants did not cause chaos everywhere like the Black Troops. Although they gathered in Kaiyang, they mainly made a living by doing business, and of course they were not a legitimate business.

In this era of corruption in the court, it is common to smuggle various commodities.

"No wonder I think this kid has a gangster spirit." Zhou Yang chuckled.

"But Wu Fang really can't be underestimated. When I first came, I really regarded him as a brave and cruel yellow-haired boy." Cheng Bing said with a brow.

Zhou Yang thought that Cheng Bing was a man of old age, and he would say that he would not underestimate Wu Fang's words. It seemed that the other party might have some skills, so he guessed: "Is it that batch of goods? It happened to be what we need. That guy took the opportunity to raise the price?"

Cheng Bing shook his head and said, "If this is the case, it will be easier. Although our Luoyang is not rich at present, it is still more than enough to do some business. The problem is that this kid wants neither silver nor gold."

Zhou Yang didn't care what the other party wanted, so he asked instead: "What exactly are those goods?"

Cheng Bingqi said: "How come the prefect Zhou did not know? The trucks of goods brought by Wu Fang were to supply the military rations for General Xiahou Yuan to attack Chang'an!"

Zhou Yang paused for a moment and couldn't help asking: "Don't we have our own farmland? Why is the food so tight when fighting a battle?"

Cheng Bing said: "In recent years, Luoyang has been committed to developing business, and in fact he has to do so. Although Luoyang also has its own farmland, it is almost impossible to surplus every year. If there is a drought or war, there will be shortage of food immediately, which makes food very expensive sometimes. In addition, there are also unscrupulous merchants taking the opportunity to hype a lot, which has brought the food to sky-high prices."

Zhou Yang asked again: "Do we have no other food sources?"

Cheng Bing sighed and said, "There is, there is, but it is impossible to raise it in the short term. The key is to attack Chang'an. It is precisely because Wu Fang is interested in this and took the initiative to transport food and grass to Luoyang at this time!"

It seems that the current situation is that we have to use Wu Fang's batch of food and grass.
