The Four Seas Business Alliance's trade routes were very mature. Even in a place like Yang, where there were large numbers of fearsome beasts, they still had their own safe passage. Of course, a large part of it relied on the official roads of Yang.
In order to allow a business alliance like the Four Seas Business Alliance to enter Yang, Yang Court had made many concessions.
The bald guard commander Chen Yong, who had escaped from Qingyang Town, led his team through the Four Seas Business Alliance's trade route. They left Rizhao Prefecture directly and entered Qi from Bai Chuan City, a city at the border of Qi.
The Four Seas Business Alliance did not officially announce the mutation of the plague internally.
To the Four Seas Business Alliance, they had paid a great deal of sincerity to accept the disaster relief "business" of Yang. They had invested a lot of manpower and resources in Yang and were reaping the benefits. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not be willing to leave.
For this, they were willing to sacrifice some of their subordinates.
Manager Qian had received the news through his own private channels and escaped immediately. He did not intend to inform anyone else.
Chen Yong, who had been shaved bald in Qingyang Town, had also received the news through his personal connections. He was loyal and brought back the entire team of guards that he was in charge of.
Of course, if the news was false, he would also have to bear the responsibility for leaving the matter of Qingyang Town alone.
But compared to the safety of his life, that was nothing.
Bai Chuan City was not named because there were a hundred rivers near the city. In fact, there were no famous rivers in the city at all.
The name of the city was derived from the meaning of "the sea accommodates all rivers". As for which river it accommodated, that was a matter of opinion.
Bai Chuan City belonged to Dingyao Prefecture. When Jiang Wang came to Yang, he also passed through Fengxian and Dingyao to reach Rizhao Prefecture of Yang.
But at that time, he was unimpeded. But now, Chen Yong's team of guards was blocked outside the city.
More accurately, they were at least three miles away from Bai Chuan City.
"Halt your steps! We are under orders to seal the border. If you dare to take another step forward, you will be killed without mercy! "A shout came from afar.
The voice came from a group of fully armored soldiers from the State of Qi.
Chen Yong immediately broke out in cold sweat.
His subordinates, who were arrogant because of the reputation of the Four Seas Trade Alliance, were all silent at this moment. All of them stood still obediently, afraid that a wrong move would cause a misunderstanding.
This was a standard Qi soldier! From the looks of it, they might even be … one of the Nine Soldiers.
Chen Yong could even hear the sound of the Spell Breaker Crossbow being loaded.
The spell breaking crossbow, which was widely used in the military, was a lethal weapon specially designed to deal with Transcendent cultivators. It was not circulated in the market at all, and it was a serious crime to buy or sell it.
A Transcendent cultivator like him didn't even have the chance to resist a volley of spell breaking crossbows.
"Sir! Sir! "
Chen Yong didn't dare to move. He shouted, "We are all Qi people! If they are good people, don't hurt them! "
"Qi people?"
He heard a voice ask.
Then, a person who looked like a general walked out of the formation, still maintaining a sufficient distance from them.
"How can you prove that you are Qi people?"
The entire Yang Country admired the Qi people. There were countless people who wore Qi clothes and spoke Qi language, so it was hard to tell if they were real or not.
"We are the guards of the Four Seas Trade Alliance. We have tokens on us. Sir, you can take them for yourself! This lowly one does not dare to lie! "
The general said, "You are not allowed to come close. Throw the token over."
Chen Yong didn't dare to disobey and did as he was told.
The general took the token from afar and examined it carefully. Then, he asked, "The people behind you are all Qi people?"
"We have a register in the Four Seas Trade Alliance. You will know if you check it. How can it be fake?" Chen Yong said, "Sir, please do us a favor. We are all Qi people and are homesick. If I may ask, why can't we return to our country today? "
"The border has been sealed. Even Qi people can't return to their country now." The general said casually. Then, he ordered, "Take these people from the Four Seas Trade Alliance to the camp and lock them up. Just like before!"
Chen Yong trembled. He didn't know what "just like before" meant. However, Qi's military was very strict. The nine soldiers of Qi were famous throughout the world. Once the military order was given, there was no turning back.
He didn't dare to say anything.
Being led into the camp by the Qi soldiers, Chen Yong had a plan in his mind.
From the way these soldiers kept their distance, it was likely that they already knew about the plague in the Yang Kingdom. It was likely that this was the reason why the border was sealed off.
If that was the case, it made sense that these people who came back from Yang Country were temporarily locked up.
It was just the same tactic of isolating them from the outside world.
From this, it could be seen that they were currently very safe. As long as they didn't get infected with the plague and didn't cause trouble in the camp.
When he thought this through, Chen Yong felt much more at ease in his heart, and he had the leisure to chat and joke with this group of old brothers who were perplexed and uneasy behind him.
"What are you afraid of? With our invincible Da Qi army escorting us, is there a safer time than now? "
A younger guard sniffed. "I don't know how long we are going to be locked up … Speaking of which. Why are we being locked up? Are we not even allowed to return to our country? "
"Shut up if you shouldn't ask!" Chen Yong scolded him harshly. He looked up and saw that the soldier leading the way didn't say anything. Only then did he relax and comfort the others. "The Four Seas is Qi's biggest trading company. How can the entire Qi survive without us? We didn't do anything wrong, so we won't be locked up for too long. Besides, if we're really in a hurry to go home, we can just bleed a little more and ask Officer Qian to bail us out! "
From beginning to end, the soldier leading the way didn't say a word. Even when Chen Yong hinted at bribery, he didn't react.
This made Chen Yong and the others consciously or unconsciously behave themselves and follow obediently.
Chen Yong's confidence disappeared after he saw Officer Qian.
That was the second day he was locked up in the camp.
A soldier came over and asked him to go out alone.
Along the way, he was uneasy and tried all sorts of things, but the other party ignored him.
If he asked too much, he would be kicked. He could only shut up.
At one point, he thought it was blackmail or something like that and was prepared to bleed a lot. He even imagined the horror of being tortured by military law — the more helpless people were in a helpless situation, the easier it was for them to scare themselves.
Fortunately, the other party only asked him to go out and identify a person.
It didn't seem to be any better because the person he wanted to identify was Officer Qian …
He still hoped that Officer Qian would bail him out sooner! In the end, Officer Qian couldn't even protect himself and even needed to ask him for help at this moment.
Chen Yong walked to the location where the Qi Army set up the checkpoint and saw Officer Qian from afar.
At that time, Officer Qian's hair was shaved off by someone and he was kneeling on the ground from afar. He was completely dispirited and lost his bearing.
Didn't Officer Qian escape back to Qi a day earlier?
What happened in between?
Why did he only arrive in Bai Chuan City today? Why was he one day later than him?
Qingyang Town … Jiang Wang … Four Seas Merchant Alliance … Officer Qian … Yang Country … Qi Army …
Chen Yong only felt that his mind was in a mess and his bald head was cold.
…
