Chapter 68: Shaohua Pass Stops Marquis Yu

Wang Ji always went along the way, and from the yamen, roadside post stations, and pedestrians, he knew that there had been a group of men with weapons on the official road, riding a strong horse to the northwest.

Although this team of men had no specific image in Wang Ji's mind, they had been going all the way for thirty days. Wang Ji led everyone to follow him, crossing the Yellow River and then crossing the Yellow River.

I thought these people were going to leave Jingzhao Mansion, but after Wang Ji chased after about a hundred miles and lost his trace, he turned around and chased north.

"Wang Yuhou, this time I chased the right one, they went north, probably passing Huayin and entering the south of Yan'an Prefecture." A master who went to inquire about the news replied.

"Hmph, see where they can go, even if they go to Xixia and Tubo, they will catch up with them." After this month's pursuit, Wang Ji's heart became more and more angry day by day, just like people were waiting for something they had been waiting for for a long time, and they were getting more anxious day by day.

The team of people in front has always been in Wang Ji's mind. After following them all the way to the present, the dressing characteristics and height and length of these people have gradually become clearer. It seems to be right in front of you, but it is still missing the last time.

Everyone changed another strong horse that had been resting almost, drank some water and ate dry food. The strong horse ran and ran quickly. It was a slight sound of wind passing by on this official road. It was already the official road in late autumn, with dust flying and falling leaves flying.

"Wang Yuhou, that team of people just passed Huayin County last night and went north." Jun Han, who was inquiring about the news, came back to report.

"Haha... I will catch up today, go quickly..." Just after yesterday, Wang Ji was overjoyed. He was in a rotation of two horses to chase him. Today, he must catch up with these people on the official road.

The whole team of people, more than 20 people and more than 40 strong horses seemed to feel a kind of joy, a kind of venting, and an excitement. They suppressed their pursuit for more than a month, and it seemed that the battle that followed was nothing. Today is the end, and today is success.

Watching the sun slowly set, Wang Ji turned around and looked at the tired smile on everyone's faces, and his heart was even more confident: "Don't stay tonight, continue chasing."

The official road passes through the foot of a continuous mountain range. There is a flat area here. On the right, there is a small path up the mountain, and on the left is a very steep cliff.

The official road is full of wood rejection, and a 10-meter-long path is opened in the middle, with wooden poles spreading across it. This is the checkpoint set up in Shaohua Mountain in the past two months, which is the function of charging tolls for business trips.

More than forty horses rushed straight and saw a checkpoint in the distance, and there were still many pedestrians queuing through, while others were checking merchants' trucks and charging corresponding tolls.

A military man rushed out of the horse's belly with all his strength, shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Tokyo Imperial Army will do business!"

The crowd queuing to pass the test had already discovered the horse team behind. Looking at the team of one person and two horses, they also knew that these people were extraordinary, so everyone unconsciously hid next to them. There was no one else at the checkpoint.

The military man shouted and came to the gate. He saw that the big wooden pole across the gate was still not opened, and he couldn't help but be furious: "Who is responsible for this place? It's outrageous, is it seeking death?"

There were forty or fifty minions at the gate, and at this moment they looked alert, even the only crossbows in the village were placed in front of them.

There was also a big man holding a large knife and walking to the front gate. This large knife was different from ordinary knifes. Behind the fine iron blade was a long wooden pole. It was so long with a large gun, but it was best to chop from a long distance.

"No matter where you did the job, you have to pay the toll when you pass by Shaohua Mountain. One person has to pay a hundred taels. You can only get through after paying the toll." This person is the third seat in Shaohua Mountain, the white flower snake Yang Chun.

As soon as Yang Chun said this, there were laughter beside him, and even those passing people were laughing. It was not the other way around. If it were ordinary passers-by, one person could pass by if he collected a few copper coins. However, this person was not tactful and came up with a bold statement. Unexpectedly, this hero from Shaohua Mountain called for a hundred taels to collect one person, so how could he not laugh?

"Bold, do you want to die?" The military man was furious and was ridiculed by these countrymen. How could he not be angry? Even Park Dao was about to be unsheathed.

He was a master of the Bianliang Imperial Army. He had been a military force for generations. He could not take the people from this border seriously, but he was unconsciously a sense of superiority in his heart.

"Hmph, you are such a dog, but you don't want to pay the money?" Yang Chun's tone was full of threats. Obviously, Yang Chun was deliberately making things difficult for these people, and he didn't really want to charge a toll of 100 taels per person.

Wang Ji and everyone came forward, slowly pinning the horses. He could see what happened. At this time, he looked forward to look at the forty or fifty minions at the checkpoint of the official road, and then looked at the path up the mountain next to the checkpoint. His face was not good, but he did not make any big moves.

"Hundred taels are too expensive. I wonder if it's a discount?" Wang Ji said this. Wang Ji was smart. He knew that some forces would be able to collect tolls here. Now the important thing is important. As long as the business is done, the money is easy to say.

Obviously, it is not something that can't be beaten. Since ancient times, the strong dragon has not suppressed local snakes. This time, it's just one hundred taels per person, and more than twenty taels per person is more than two thousand taels. It's really a bit too much. Wang Ji set off in a hurry, but he didn't bring too much money. He spent all the money all the way. At this time, he looked roughly more than two thousand taels. This is because the Taiwei Mansion is really rich, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bring so much money anywhere if he went out to do a business.

"I said a hundred taels are hundreds of taels, and a copper coin cannot be lost. Otherwise, you will not be able to get through today's journey." Yang Chun's voice was even more disdainful, and everything was done according to Zheng Zhi's arrangement.

Zheng Zhi made this arrangement to define the death of these people as the bandits and bandits taking action due to tolls, so that they can pick them out and reduce a lot of trouble.

As for Mount Shaohua, Zheng Zhi was not worried. Taiwei Gao, who was far away in Tokyo, had no way to destroy Mount Shaohua. In the end, he had to pass the military generals in the northwest. Zheng Zhi had a solution to the subsequent matters, relying on the Zhong Shidao. This is the reason why county officials were not as good as managing them now.

"I can't discuss it?" Wang Ji's face was even more unkind, and his tone was a little angry, so he asked again.

"A bronze is indispensable." Yang Chun's tone was hard, just waiting for Wang Ji to get angry.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ji nodded with anger and said, "Okay, I'll give you that, open the gate quickly."

Even Yang Chun did not expect that Wang Ji really agreed to the matter of one hundred taels over a person. He couldn't help but feel panicked. What should I do if I didn't pick up this fire? Brother Zheng Zhi's instructions cannot be wrong.

Seeing the leader instructing people to prepare silver liang, Yang Chun's mind turned around and said, "One hundred taels passes, and one horse passes two hundred miles away."

When many minions heard their leaders' words, they all laughed so hard that they were lying on each other. They didn't know that their leaders were recreating these people and spoke one after another.

"Yes, two hundred horses pass by one!"

"The three heads understand the offer, and they will not be allowed to go there if they don't give it."

Even the roadside business travelers felt that these people from Tokyo were really proud and insisted on offending these strong men from Shaohua Mountain, otherwise the price of less than one tael of silver would be over.

"Are you here to make fun of this Yuhou?" Wang Ji didn't know that these people were obviously unable to get along with him. He was tolerant just now and really didn't want to make too many troubles, but it did not mean that the Park Knife was in his hand was not good.

"So what if I spend the time at this Shaohua Mountain? I haven't met such an arrogant person yet. It's the price. I'll pay if I give it, and I'll return if I don't give it." Yang Chun felt relieved and finally completed the task.

"You are not jealous, do you think the Park Knife in this Yuhou's hand is not good?" Wang Ji was about to threaten it. If he couldn't threaten, he had to force it.

"You are not good at being a sword in your grandfather's hand?" Yang Chun is already a top-notch martial artsman and is used to being a strong man. Not to mention his ability to pass, even the officers and soldiers in Huayin have fought several times, so how could he be afraid of betting against others?
