"Guard Chen!"
Seeing Chen Yong walk over, Manager Qian was instantly energized.
However, due to the arrows aimed at him, he did not dare to get up. He just knelt there and tried his best to be friendly, "Quick, tell these soldiers that I'm really the manager of the Four Seas Business Alliance! Third grade manager! My surname is Qian! "
The managers of the Four Seas Business Alliance were split into three grades. Third grade was the lowest and first grade was the highest. They were in charge of the business of the alliance. Above them, there were nine honorary managers. These managers were just in name and did not care about normal matters.
The only time they were needed was when dealing with other officials and nobles in Qi.
Even though Manager Qian was just a third grade manager, he was still quite powerful. The reason why he ended up like this was hard to explain.
He had not been in Jia City for long, but he had already taken a large amount of wealth. Using the chance of obtaining large amounts of life-saving resources, he sold them at a high price, causing all the families in Jia City to suffer greatly.
Not to mention the fact that the Xi Family had already left and Jia City had lost its backbone. Even if the Xi Family was still there, what could they do against the Four Seas Business Alliance? They were still at the mercy of the Four Seas Business Alliance.
Even Yangting relied on the Four Seas Business Alliance to help, so they did not dare to offend them.
To Manager Qian, this was just a small matter, and it was something that the Four Seas Business Alliance agreed to. But because Jia City didn't have a leader, what he did was "a bit too much".
However, the problem was that a large portion of the wealth he took was kept in his own pocket and was not given to the Four Seas Business Alliance. He could not see the light of day.
When he found out about the mutation of the plague, he immediately took everything he could and left. Just the gold and silver items alone filled up dozens of boxes.
To hide his wealth, he hid his identity and purposely took a detour to Pingxi Prefecture. (It was also one of the border prefectures of Qi.)
He knew how scary the mutation of the plague was, but he did not know how strict the Qi Army was in locking down the border.
First, he did not reveal his identity, afraid that the Four Seas Business Alliance would find out. He also tried to bribe the soldiers when negotiating with them.
In the end, he was almost killed on the spot.
In the end, he had no choice but to reveal his identity. However, because of his previous actions, he was chased out.
Of course, more than half of his belongings were confiscated. It was said that this was because he was a deacon of the Four Seas Trade Alliance.
Left with no choice, Manager Qian could only turn back and follow the trade route of the Four Seas Commerce Alliance, returning to his country through Dingyao Prefecture.
However, the border blockade was getting stricter by the day, and he had lost his waist tag in the previous painful experience, so he could not prove his identity …
The pitiful Manager Qian was almost killed on the spot. Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint remembered that they had detained a group of people from the Four Seas Business Alliance the day before yesterday. Only then did they call Chen Yong over to identify them.
How much loyalty could a superior who took all the benefits and fled when there was danger?
If possible, Chen Yong really wanted to say that he didn't know this fellow and let the soldiers kill Manager Qian!
However, his good friend was also kneeling behind Manager Qian at this moment. He was in a very miserable state.
The two of them pretended not to know each other and didn't even look at each other.
"Hey!" Chen Yong said, "Deacon, why are you here?"
"It's a long story." Manager Qian looked at the soldiers guarding the checkpoint and said politely, "Soldiers, can I stand up now?"
In his heart, he wanted to find someone to use his connections to teach these soldiers a lesson after returning to his country. However, he had no choice but to submit in front of a crossbow.
Since his identity was verified and he was from Qi, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint did not make things difficult for him. "Stand up."
When he saw Chen Yong, Manager Qian was very surprised. However, he was a cunning person. Of course, he would not ask questions like why Chen Yong was here.
He had left his work and returned to Qi at this time, so he naturally knew about the mutation of the plague!
However, he did not tell this subordinate of his at all …
However, someone like Manager Qian would not feel embarrassed at all. He only pretended to be concerned and asked, "Did you suffer?"
"Hey, the soldiers are all very disciplined. How could we suffer?" Chen Yong said, "Deacon, what's the situation now? Our brothers are very uneasy. "
"Alright! Is this a place for you to chat? "The soldiers scolded and interrupted them," Disperse! "
"Hey!" Manager Qian heard the scolding and led the way to Bai Chuan City.
"I said, disperse! Go back! "The soldiers suddenly raised their crossbows and aimed at them.
"No, didn't I already prove that I'm from Qi?" Manager Qian was confused, "I'm a manager of the Four Seas Business Alliance!"
"I don't care who you are. We received orders not to allow anyone from Yang Country to enter!" The soldier said, "If you want to enter, show us the military's letter!"
As for the general who was in charge the day before, he was not here.
Manager Qian was very angry but he knew that he could not vent his anger on these soldiers.
Even if they killed him while carrying out their orders, no one would stand up for him!
The knife is in my heart, I'll endure it!
"Then what about him?" Manager Qian pointed at Chen Yong and asked.
"He can't enter the city either! He's being detained in the barracks now. "
"Then you can detain us too. I can wait!" No matter what, Manager Qian could not return to Yang Country now. That would be too scary.
But he only received a cold reply from the soldier, "No!"
"Why? I'm also from Qi! "Manager Qian suppressed his anger.
"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today. Every day, the situation will become more serious. You can still retreat now. Come back tomorrow and you will be killed without mercy! "
"Don't you know the situation in Yang Country now? Do you want me to go back and wait for death? " Manager Qian only felt a ball of hot blood rush to his head. What humiliation? What long days ahead? He couldn't care less about that!
But the soldier raised his crossbow and poured a bucket of ice water on him, "Or you can die now!"
Manager Qian was speechless.
In the end, Chen Yong could only watch as Manager Qian left with his men, including his good friends.
But he did not dare to say anything. It would be useless to say anything.
In front of the cruel situation of life and death.
The connections and relationships that he was so proud of in the past were so fragile!
…
Manager Qian took the remaining portion of his belongings and took a detour. He would rather pay more customs fees so that he could borrow another country's route to return to the capital.
But then, he realized in horror that it was not just the road back to Qi from Yang Country. The entire Yang Country was locked up by the army!
As everyone knew, Qi had nine elite armies called the Nine Soldiers.
They were Death of Spring, Corpse of Summer, Death of Autumn, and Solitude of Winter.
They were Chasing Wind, Cutting Rain, Subduing Thunder, and Imprisoning Lightning.
The first of the Nine Soldiers was called Overturning Heaven. It was the army of the Emperor of Qi. Now, it was led by Da Qi's Military God, Jiang Mengxiong.
Manager Qian used his connections to investigate and finally got some information.
The army that locked down the entire Yang Country was called Death of Autumn. It was one of the Nine Soldiers of Qi. It was a top-notch killing army, the strongest army in the world!
What was Qi Ting trying to do? Why didn't the Commerce Alliance get any information beforehand?
…
It was the end of July. It was already autumn.
Autumn came, Death of Autumn's Army.
