The weather has become hot, and the vast yellow sand is overwhelming, extending from one side of the horizon, like a dry sea, silent under the bright sun.
There was very little wind, very weak, like pebbles thrown into a lake, which could only stir up weak ripples on this desert sea, and then disappeared without a trace.
Because Ma Chao's army was pressing down on the border, a ban had been implemented in Huai County at this time, and there were almost no pedestrians.
The few sentries guarding the city gate looked back with some anxiety and vigilance, and could only see an occasional group of soldiers running past in a hurry.
The whole town fell into an anxious quiet, like an insomniac tossing and turning.
Suddenly, the clear ringing of bells attracted the attention of the sentries.
They stretched their heads and looked out.
The first thing they saw was heavy cargo, tied tightly and piled up like a mountain.
It rose and fell with the backs of the horses.
Going up is shaky.
After that, I saw that the man leading the horse was also hunched over, his body was covered with big bundles, and he was struggling to move.
There was no laughter, only heavy breathing, and the crisp sound of horse bells that sounded along with the marching rhythm.
When several sentries saw this, they all looked at each other: among Hanoi counties, everyone knew that Ma Chao and General Gao had been at war with each other for nearly a month, and no merchants dared to come here to trade.
What's even more strange is that the leader of this caravan is actually a young man.
He rides a white horse, is dressed in fine clothes, and has a cynical look.
You can tell at a glance that he is a child of a wealthy family.
Such a critical period and such a strange caravan naturally aroused doubts in the minds of these sentries.
When the caravan arrived at the city gate, the sentinel commander immediately stepped forward and said, "Who are you?"
The young man saw the color of the village chief's clothes.
After a moment of surprise, a hint of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
He directly picked up the whip in his hand and slapped the village chief on the face: "Those who don't open their eyes, even Sima Even a caravan dares to stop it.”
The head of the "Sima Family" was furious at first, but the hard days of poverty had wiped out the passion in his heart.
Seeing that this young man was so domineering, not only did he not dare to fight back, he endured the pain and stopped the guard behind him, and said with a smile: "Young Master , Don’t embarrass me, I am not ignorant during this critical period.
I dare to ask you, what kind of goods are you transporting and where are you transporting them to?"
"You want to search this batch of goods?"
Seeing that the village leader still had eyesight, the young man couldn't help but smile, and said playfully: "Don't worry, the Sima family has always been upright and law-abiding, and they also support Mr.
Yuan in resisting Ma Chao, who deserves to be killed with a thousand swords. .
However, I would like to ask again, you really want to know what kind of goods this batch is."
Listening to the young man's sinister tone, and seeing the leather whip rubbing back and forth in his hand, the village chief couldn't help but feel anxious again: he had grown up in Hanoi all his life, and he knew the strength of Hanoi's big families very well.
The Sima family, in particular, has always been a secretive family, but its network of connections is extremely solid and extensive.
It can be said that Zhang Yang, the governor of Hanoi County, would not be able to stay in office for long without the support of the Sima family.
Moreover, now that the eldest son of the Sima family has been invited to the account by Duke Yuan, he is quite trustworthy.
If he offends the Sima family today, his chief will be the first to tie him up and hand him over to the Sima family for disposal without anyone else taking action. .
But even if there is this factor, the commander of the camp also knows that military orders cannot be violated.
Once the spies are allowed into the city, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Not only your own head, but also the heads of the whole family will be involved.
Therefore, after he gritted his teeth, he knelt down directly in front of the young man's horse, kowtowed and said: "Young master, please don't embarrass me.
Let me check it out.
If there is nothing wrong, I will do it right away."
Open the city gate and let you in, and at the same time keep kowtowing until you are no longer visible."
"Haha, what Qiao said makes it hard for me to embarrass you at all.
It's not easy to miss you, so just take a look.
However, I'm warning you, everything inside is problematic.
If you do it next Dare you ask me one more question, don't say I can't spare you, the entire Sima family can't spare you even if they want to."
The young man stirred his horse's reins and moved slightly out of the way.

However, the expression on his face became increasingly arrogant and cynical, making people afraid to make mistakes.
Speaking of which, it is said that if the village chief believed that the caravan belonged to the Sima family, he would not inspect the goods.
However, everyone has curiosity.
The village chief was very unwilling to succumb to this young man's words.
After randomly selecting a cart of goods, he tremblingly opened it.
However, when he looked at it, his heart almost flew out of his chest.
He saw that in the sack, apart from some shock-absorbing hemp, there were standard swords.
Moreover, judging from the quality, the swords were sparkling. , the cold light is dazzling, and it is obviously made of high-grade forged steel.
Compared with the wooden spear and sword in his hand, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud.
This opening of his eyes completely made the village chief regretful.
He should have thought that the Sima family has always been involved in military and political affairs, and many Yuan family weapons are sometimes purchased by the Sima family.
No wonder this strange caravan suddenly appeared when all merchants were afraid to sell in Hanoi County.
It turned out that I was really unlucky to have encountered such a situation.
At that moment, the village chief no longer dared to check other goods and quickly shouted to his subordinates: "What are you still doing?
Hurry up and open the city gate and let the young master enter the city."
Then, there was a heavy and long sound of metal friction, and the city gate of Huai County was completely opened.
Those caravans slowly entered Huai County without any obstruction.
But the young man riding the white horse was not panicked at all.
After watching all the caravans enter the city with great interest, he glanced at the city gate commander again and said: "You are not completely stupid.
You will be killed another day."
If you don’t want to be the city gate commander, take this token and go to Sima’s house to find me.”
After saying that, the young man threw a token and walked away.
After the city gate commander received the token, he was completely relieved: although he was illiterate, he knew that this young man was the one who looked at the haechi pattern on the back of the token and the head of the token was carved into a single horn.
He must be a very distinguished person from Sima.
I am blessed today because I have caught his eye, and my future will be limitless.
From this, the village chief looked at the young man's back and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
The young man turned back and glanced at the village chief again, as if he had thought of something: "Oh, by the way, today you" "You see nothing, I don't know anything."
The village chief quickly replied, kowtowing again: You know, although the Sima family only has 800 private soldiers, their treatment is better than that of a regular general's bodyguard.
Even better.
Moreover, as a private soldier from such a famous family, he will basically not encounter any big battles, and he will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life.
"Yeah, not bad."
The young man nodded and finally left without looking back.
After arriving at Huai County Street, the caravan indeed entered Sima Mansion.
Only a big man with a scarred face looked at the young man riding a white horse with some dissatisfaction and said: "I didn't expect that your Sima family has such power in Hanoi.
I think the city gate commander was scared to death by you. ” "Then I can't help it.
I just said what I said.
After he saw these Su Tie weapons, he stopped asking, so what does it have to do with me?"
Sima Yi spat out the grass in his mouth and looked at the front of Sima's house.
In the large square of the hospital, I couldn't help but talk carelessly.
"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore, and I'm really convinced by you.
Tell me what to do next."
Brother Chou waved his hand, and a hundred shadows began to change their swords in the square: It turned out that one of the dozens of large vehicles was carrying all their battle uniforms and weapons.
"What should I do?"
Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a strange and excited light at this time, and he said coldly: "It can be served cold."
Brother Chou's face turned cold.

He was very familiar with that kind of look: it was a look of murderous intent.
It seemed that this fifteen-year-old boy had no feelings at all for the Sima family who gave birth to him and raised him:
