llectThis coin had been chasing its target for a long time without success. Finally, it seemed to have understood something and flew back to the pillar to continue carving –"Just do me a favor, how ab..."Chen, the guard!"

As soon as Qian the steward saw Chen Yong walking from afar, he immediately perked up.

But owing to the arrows pointed at him, he still dared not get up, only kneeling there and showing as amicable an expression as possible: “Quickly tell these military lords, I am really a commissioner of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance! A third-rank commissioner! My surname is Qian!”

All the deacons of the Si Hai Merchant Alliance are divided into three ranks. The lowest rank is three, and the highest rank is one, responsible for the specific affairs of the entire alliance. Above this, there are nine honorary deacons. Honorary deacons only have their names listed and do not concern themselves with mundane matters.

They only need to appear in public when they are interacting with other high-ranking officials from the State of Qi.

Though Qian Shi only held the position of a third-grade attendant, he usually carried himself with an air of importance. It's hard to say exactly how he came to this situation.

He had arrived in Jiacheng not long ago, but he had already amassed a large fortune. By taking advantage of his control over a vast supply of life-saving resources, he hiked up prices and extorted money from all the big and small families in Jiacheng, leaving them miserable.

Even if the Xi family hadn't withdrawn, with their main support gone, Jiacheng would still be vulnerable. Even if the Xi family were still around, facing the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, what could they do They would still be at their mercy.

Yangting relied on the Four Seas Merchant Alliance to save them from disaster and didn't dare offend them. How could the towns and counties below them possibly resist

For a money-minded person, this was a trifle, something tacitly accepted by the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. It was just that due to Jiacheng being leaderless at the moment, he had gone "slightly overboard."

But the problem is, a large portion of the wealth he plundered was put into his own pocket, separate from what was given to the Four Seas Alliance. It couldn't be seen in the open.

After learning about the plague's mutation, he immediately gathered all his movable possessions and left. Just for gold and silver, he filled dozens of boxes!

To conceal his wealth, he hid his identity and deliberately took a longer route to Pingxi County, a border county of Qi State.

He understood the danger of the plague's mutation, but he didn't grasp the severity of the Qi army's border lockdown.

He first hesitated to reveal his identity, fearing that the assets he had obtained unfairly would be discovered by the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. During negotiations with the guards, he also attempted to bribe them.

The result was almost killed on the spot.

Later, he was forced to reveal his true identity, but because of his previous dishonest actions, he was expelled.

Of course, most of his belongings were also confiscated—rumor has it that this was done out of respect for his position as an executive member of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.

With no other choice, Qian Zhi only had to travel back and forth, retracing the routes of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, returning home via Dingyao County.

But as border lockdowns grew stricter day by day, he lost his ID card in his previous ordeal, unable to prove his identity...

The poor Money Clerk almost got killed right there, luckily the guard at the checkpoint remembered that he had escorted a group of people from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance yesterday. That's how Chen Yong was called to identify him.

A boss who takes all the credit for the good things and shies away from responsibility when things go wrong, how much loyalty can such a person inspire

If he could, Chen Yongzhen really wanted to say he didn't know this guy and have the soldiers kill Qian Shi just to get it over with!

But his friend was also kneeling behind Qian the steward at this moment, together with him, it was truly pathetic.

The two pretended not to know each other, not even exchanging a glance.

“Hey!” Chen Yong said, “Master Attendant, how did you end up here”

“This is a long story.” Qian, the steward, looked at the soldiers guarding the card and politely asked, “Soldiers, may I stand up”

He wanted to teach those big shots a lesson after returning home, finding someone and using their connections to give them a good thrashing. But at this moment, he was caught between a rock and a hard place and had to swallow his anger.

Since his identity had been verified and he was confirmed to be Qi Ren, the soldier guarding the card did not give him too much trouble. "Get up,"

When Qian met Chen Yong, he was surprised, but the man was cunning and wouldn't ask questions like "How are you here"

In this situation, to leave work and return home must mean one knows about the plague's mutation!

...and he didn't tell this subordinate at all...

But of course, someone like Qian Shi wouldn't have a shred of shame. He only feigned concern and asked, "Haven't you suffered"

"Hi, all you soldiers are disciplined and able to endure any hardship" Chen Yong said: "Sir, what's the current situation The brothers are all very uneasy."

"Alright! Is this place for you to chat idly" Sergeant Shuka interrupted them with a bark: "Disperse!"

"Hey!" When Qian the steward heard the voice, he beckoned from behind and led the way toward Bai Chuan City.

“I said, you’re dismissed! Get out of here!” Sergeant Harker suddenly raised his crossbow again at them.

“No, haven’t I already proven that I am a Qi person” Qian Shi said, baffled. “I am an official of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance!”

"Whoever you are, we've received orders to not allow anyone from Yang Guo to enter! If you want to enter the city, bring a military order!" said the soldier.

As for the general who was in charge the day before yesterday, he is not here now.

Qian, the steward, was seething with anger, but he knew he couldn't afford to provoke these soldiers.

Even if he were truly killed during the execution of a military order, no one would speak up for him!

A knife in my heart, I endure!

“Then what’s going on with him” Qian the steward pointed at Chen Yong and asked.

“He can't possibly enter the city! He's being held in the military camp right now.”

“Then arrest us too, I can wait!” In any case, Qian the steward couldn’t possibly return to Yang Guo now. That would be too terrifying.

But all he got was the soldier's cold reply: "No!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Why I'm also from Qi!” Qian the steward forced down his anger.

Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. Every day that passes, the situation becomes more dire. You can still retreat and come back tomorrow, but after that, it will be a death sentence!

"What's the situation in Yangguo now Don't you know Are you making me go back to die" Qian, the steward, felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head. He didn't care about enduring hardships or looking forward to better days!

But the soldier's raised broken law crossbow, like a basin of ice water, drenched him: "Or you can die now!"

Qian, the steward: …

Chen Yong ultimately could only see Qian Shi leading people away, their heads hung in shame. Among them was his friend.

But he didn't dare say anything more. There was no use saying anything else.

In the face of a cruel and ruthless situation where life and death are at stake.

All the connections and relationships I once boasted about now seem so fragile!

Qian Zhishi, with only a portion of his wealth remaining, took a detour, preferring to pay more tolls to pass through other countries and find a way back to Qi.

But at this moment, he was horrified to discover: it wasn't just the road from Yang Guo back to Qi Guo. The entire Yang Guo had been surrounded by a vast army!

As is well known, the State of Qi had nine troops that were the most elite, known as the Nine Soldiers.

Spring dies, Summer corpses, Autumn kills, Winter silence.

Days of chasing the wind, slicing rain, submerging thunder, and imprisoning lightning.

The first army, known as Tianfu, has always been the emperor's army directly controlled by the rulers of Qi. It is now led by General Jiang Mengxiong of Great Qi.

Through his own connections, Qian the steward diligently investigated and finally obtained some information.

The army that blockaded the entire territory of Yang Guo was called Qiushan, one of the Nine Armies of Qi, a first-rate force renowned for its prowess in warfare and considered the strongest army in the world.

As July neared its end, it was already autumn.
