The guardian of Xianxia Pass is named Zheng Dong, who is Zheng Chenggong's cousin.

After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Zheng family almost collapsed. After losing Zheng Zhilong's command, the forces of each party and branch of the Zheng family began to compete for the rights left by Zheng Zhilong.

After Zheng Chenggong came to power, there was actually a big conflict with the brothers and uncles of the Zheng family. Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and others were forced to leave and defect to the Zhejiang clan.

When Zheng Chenggong hired people, he did not appoint many people from the Zheng clan. He was surrounded by generals like Gan Hui and Chen Ze.

However, although Zheng Chenggong didn't use the Zheng family very much, he was of the same clan after all, and at a critical moment, he still needed the Zheng family.

Therefore, this time he went to Jiangxi, Zheng Chenggong finally left his uncle Zheng Hongkui to take charge of Fujian, and sent a large number of Zheng clans to guard various passes.

Zheng Dong led a battalion of troops and 3,000 troops stationed in Xianxia Pass.

Zheng Dong's branch is a remote branch of the Zheng family. The money distributed normally is much less than that of other relatives. Seeing them being extravagant and showing off, Zheng Dong is very proud of money.

After guarding Xianxia Pass, he did not strictly enforce the order to seal the pass, but instead plucked the feathers passing by the caravans and geese.

Of course, during the special period, he was still a little vigilant that the caravans in Jiangdong could not pass, but the Zheng family's own caravan could pass, and the Fujian caravans given money would be released.

At dusk, Zheng Dong was closing quickly, and a hundred households next to him suddenly pointed outside the pass, "General, a caravan is coming!"

Zheng Dong looked down and saw a caravan climbing up the slope.

This caravan is quite large in scale, with more than fifty mules and horses and more than ten large carts.

Zheng Dong frowned, "Stop them!"

On the city of Guancheng, a sharpshooter immediately bent his bow and arrow, and shot down with an arrow. The arrow was inserted in front of the caravan, and the tail wing vibrated, showing great power.

Seeing this, the caravan quickly stopped before the lockdown. Soon, a merchant in brocade left the caravan and went down to the lockdown.

Zheng Dong stood on the city of Guancheng and looked at the businessman in front of him. He was wearing silk and had two beards, and he was a little scholarly. He probably failed the imperial examination and turned to a businessman.

"Where are you from? What's the matter?" Zheng Dong smiled.

Yan Ermei gave a favour to him and said in a Fujian accent: "General, the villain's surname is Zhou, and he is the shopkeeper of the Rongchang business in Putian. Recently, there was news in Zhejiang that the Han Dynasty wanted to seize the shops of the Fujian business in Zhejiang. After the villain got the news, he brought the goods from the business back to Fujian. Please let the young man enter the pass!"

The Fujian dialect is very complex, and it is different from different counties in southern Fujian.

Yan Ermei received training, and the business he mentioned was real and famous.

When Zheng Dong heard the words, a bright color flashed in his eyes, but then he felt embarrassed: "You may not know that Your Highness Yanping has already had a military order to close Xianxia Pass and strictly prohibit entry and exit! I can't help you!"

Yan Ermei said in surprise: "If you cannot enter the pass, what should you do if the goods from the merchants are? What should we do if the Fujian people are waiting for? Is it difficult for King Yanping to abandon us?"

Yan Ermei suddenly looked at Zheng Dong and begged: "General, for the sake of the villain traveling through mountains and rivers back to Fujian, please beg for the villain. The villain is willing to offer a sum of silver to express his gratitude."

After saying that, Yan Ermei took out a stack of silver notes, afraid that it would be nearly a hundred taels.

Zheng Dong didn't go to pick it up. He just took a quick look. Even if the goods mentioned in the caravan in front of Guan were only a lot of ordinary tea and cloth. Just fifty mules and horses were worth thousands of taels.

Seeing this, Yan Ermei gritted his teeth, "If you cannot pass the customs, all these goods will fall into the hands of the Han Kingdom. Instead of doing so, it is better to offer them to the general. If the general is in harmony, the younger one is willing to take out 10% of the goods and offer them to the general!"

Zheng Dong heard the words: "What are you lucky?"

Yan Ermei said: "Some Nanyang spices, ivory, jade and Japanese lacquerware!"

Zheng Dong raised his eyebrows and stretched out three fingers, "Look at you, I want 30% of your goods, so I will put you in the gates!"

"Thirty percent?" Yan Ermei said: "Most of the profits of the business belong to the general!"

Zheng Dong looked stern, "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Yan Ermei hurriedly said: "If you are willing, 30% will be achieved!"

Zheng Dong then smiled and took the ticket, laughed, "Let them come here!"

When Yan Ermei went downstairs, Zheng Dong looked at his back and couldn't help but look at the silver notes in his hand, feeling happy.

Zheng Dong is a sensible person. In order to monopolize the power, Zheng Chenggong suppressed the restraints of the various branches of the Zheng family and would not reuse the people from other rooms.

Zheng Dong knew that he had no talent and it was difficult to get promoted, so he simply made more money.

At this time, the caravan that was parked in front of the pass came to the pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass moved away and asked the caravan to pass through. Finally, they stopped in front of the door opening to prepare for inspection.

In a forest below the pass, five thousand soldiers were ready to wait. The dynasty first pressed the handle of the knife and stared at the caravan approaching Xianxia Pass.

Zheng Dong also stood at the top of the city, staring at the caravan, carrying two packs of goods on both sides of the mules and horses, and the cart was filled with boxes.

At this time, Zheng Dong suddenly felt a stern in his heart and found that all the mules and horses and stallions were castrated.

Although horses and mules and horses are more docile and obedient after castration, except for the army, ordinary mules and horses are rarely castrated. Even if they are castrated, a few will be left as seeds.

The mules and horses of this caravan were all castrated, which was so strange, and the caravan was all full of strong men, which was also suspicious.

Zheng Dong felt a little suspicious in his heart and immediately turned around and went downstairs.

At this time, the caravan was crowded with mules and horses carrying rations in front of them. After being inspected, they had already entered the door opening.

Zheng Dong walked down, held a big cart that was about to enter the city, and shouted sternly: "Put off the grass!"

The caravan did not have cargo, and the carriage was loaded with weapons and stones. Yan Ermei saw Zheng Dong suspicious and gave the guard a color, and the guard immediately retreated.

Zheng Dong walked forward, reached out to pluck the straw, and pulled it down, his expression changed drastically. At this moment, Liu Qian, who was standing next to him, pretending to be a friend, suddenly took action, and a cold light flashed, "Puff!", and Zheng Dong's chest was pierced by a sharp dagger.

The sudden change shocked all the soldiers. Yan Ermei yelled and took action, "Do it!"

The caravan staff and guards lifted the straw, picked up weapons, and countless swords and spears rolled out of the car.

The elite Han army captured weapons and rushed towards the Zheng army around them. They were extremely powerful and killed the Zheng army to retreat one after another. Liu Qian shouted loudly, roared and rushed into the door hole, preventing the defenders from closing the door.

At this time, Wang Chao first saw the battle at Xianxia Pass, and immediately roared, "Kill!"
