Immediately, Shangguan San followed Zhao Po and the team while Sun Shang went to summon people.

They were the subordinates of the imperial guard Guo Hu in Xiling.

The two of them had been stationed here for a long time. The rice in the grain shop near the frontier fortress was all purchased by them at a high price. And they also guarded here to report the movement of Dongling in time.

When they reached the fork in the road, Zhao Po stopped. He turned his head and said loudly, "Hold on, everyone. We will get there after a few miles."

Shangguan San who followed the team heard it, and then the corner of his mouth was slightly raised. It seemed that his guess was right. These potatoes were sent to the border fortress.

Then, he tiptoed and flew towards the front of the team. When he stopped in front of Zhao Po, he said loudly, "I'm afraid you won't reach there anymore."

After hearing this, the people in the carriages couldn't help but panic. They looked at each other, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Then, you can try!" Su Tong saw this and drew the sword.

At this moment, Zhao Po stretched out his hand to signal Su Tong not to do it yet.

Then, Zhao Po turned around and asked Shangguan San, "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Why don't you guess?" Shangguan San raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhao Po.

Zhao Po narrowed his eyes at this time, "Are you from Xiling?"

"You're really smart, Young Master!" Shangguan San said with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Po raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, but do you think you can fight against us alone?"

"In the team, except for the two of you who can fight, I am afraid that the others can not fight." Shangguan San said at this time.

After hearing this, Su Tong couldn't help being full of anger. He shouted, "Brother Zhao, don't waste time with him. Let's fight."

With that said, Su Tong flew up from the horse, drew his sword, and stabbed directly towards Shangguan San.

Shangguan San dodged, and then he drew out his sword and fought with Su Tong.

They fought equally matched. Each time Su Tong made a move, Shangguan San could dodge it cleverly as if he knew in advance what a move Su Tong was going to do.

Su Tong couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he needed to act in the opposite way. After he changed his movements, as expected, Shangguan San couldn't resist him. His arm was stabbed by Su Tong's sword.

At this time, Su Tong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He said with a smile, "You just said that we can't get there. Then, we will show you today."

With that said, Su Tong quickly moved to stab Shangguan San, and Shangguan San was about to dodge.

At this moment, the hoofbeat came from behind, and then someone shouted, "Stop."

Su Tong stopped at this moment and turned his head. A crowd of people came running this way.

Sun Shang pulled the reins, and the horse stopped. Then, he said to his subordinates, "Besiege all of them."

Immediately, his men surrounded the carriages.

The people driving the carriages were ordinary people who hadn't seen such a scene, so they could not help but panic.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Po turned his head and said, "Don't panic, everyone."

"What... What's going on?" Someone asked Zhao Po at this moment.

Zhao Po stepped forward and asked, "What do you want?"

"I know that the things on your carriages are to be sent to the frontier fortress. I don't want to bother you. As long as you leave us with the things on the carriages, I promise we won't hurt you." Sun Shang got off and walked up to Zhao Po.

After hearing this, Su Tong put away the sword in his hand. He walked to Sun Shang, pointed him with a sword, and smiled, "Why?"

"Of course, you can refuse, but you have to think about it. Will it cost too much to exchange so many lives for these things on the carriages?" Sun Shang pushed Su Tong's sword away at this time, looked at him, and said.

With that said, Sun Shang waved his hand forward, "Come on, brothers."

As soon as the voice died away, his men ran to the people driving the carriages.

They took out the knives and put them on the necks of these people.

Upon seeing this, Su Tong couldn't help but look at Sun Shang. He said, "You guys are really mean."

"Thank you for the compliment. I don't care about the process. I just care about the result." Sun Shang raised the corner of his mouth and said.

Then, Sun Shang walked to Shangguan San, "How is it?"

"It's okay. The skin is wounded, but the wound is not deep." Shangguan San looked at the wound at this time and said to Sun Shang.

Sun Shang nodded and then turned around, "I will give you time to think about it. If you don't agree with it, then these people will all die because of you."

After speaking, Sun Shang stretched out his hand and counted, "One."

"Young Master Zhao, we can't agree."

"Yes, don't worry about us. You can't give them the things on the carriages."

At this time, the people driving the carriages no longer panicked, but calmed down, and said to Zhao Po and Su Tong.

"Two." Sun Shang continued counting.

At this time, another person said, "Young Master Zhao, do it quickly. Don't worry about us. You must send the things on the carriages to the barracks."

"Three." Sun Shang sneered and then said loudly.

Seeing that Zhao Po and Su Tong hadn't answered, Sun Shang waved his hand, and his eyes were full of killing, "Do it!"

Sun Shang's men were about to do it.

"Wait!" Zhao Po and Su Tong said at the same time.

A smile appeared at the corner of Sun Shang's mouth, and it disappeared immediately, "I knew that you will not leave them alone."

"What do you want?" Zhao Po asked and looked at Sun Shang.

Sun Shang smiled at this moment, "Give me the things on the carriages, and you can leave. But just in case, I will take two people away. When we are far away, I will let them come back."

"What if you kill them?" Su Tong looked at Sun Shang doubtfully and asked.

Sun Shang laughed at this moment, "Do you have any other way? Don't worry, my goal is to get the things on your carriages, not your people."

"Give you half an hour. I want to see them come back. If not, don't blame us for being rude." Zhao Po's eyes were full of hatred at this time.

Sun Shang responded and then turned to his subordinates, "Have you heard it all? Hurry up!"

After hearing this, his men held the two people, and the others went to the carriages and drove the carriages away.

Sun Shang smiled at Su Tong and Zhao Po, "Don't follow us secretly, otherwise you'll know the result."

With that said, Sun Shang got on the horse, and then he took the reins to go to Shangguan San. He pulled him on the horse and then rode to the side of the road leading to Xiling.

Su Tong looked at his back and couldn't help but shake the sword in his hand. "Did we just give them these potatoes?"

"It is the only way. We can go back to pull potatoes. If they really do something to these ordinary people, we won't be able to explain it to His Excellency." Zhao Po clasped his hands to his chest, walked to the fork in the road, and sat down on the stone.

Then he said, "Come and wait."

"Alas." Su Tong turned his head at this time. He sighed, walked to Zhao Po, and sat down.

At this moment, the people driving the carriages came around. They looked at each other and then asked, "Young Master Zhao, there will be nothing dangerous with them, right?"

"Yes. Wait patiently." Zhao Po said to them at this moment, shaking his head.

After those people listened, the worry on their faces remained.

Upon seeing this, Su Tong stood up and said to them, "Don't worry. They don't dare to do anything threatening. If they really had wanted to do something, they would have done it just now."

"Yes, let's sit and wait." After hearing this, these people breathed a sigh of relief.

They also sat down aside, staring towards where the two people left.

At this time, Shuo Ling and Hou Shi also entered the border fortress.

When they arrived at the fork of the military camp and Xiling, they saw a bunch of people sitting there.

Shuo Ling pulled the reins to slow down. After seeing this, Hou Shi also slowed down. He stood side by side with Shuo Ling, looked at him, and asked, "My Lord, do you think there will be Xiling people ahead?"

"I don't know. Go to check it." Shuo Ling said and rode forward.

Hou Shi also speeded up and ran forward.

Shuo Ling rode up to Zhao Po and the others and stopped the horse.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Po and Su Tong looked up. It was Shuo Ling. They couldn't help being surprised. Then they quickly got up from the stone and bowed to Shuo Ling, "My Lord."

After hearing this, the people on the side recognized that it was Marquis Shuo. They saw Shuo Ling before when Jiandu was suffering from a disease.

So, they hurried forward and knelt, "Your Lordship."

"Get up." Shuo Ling frowned slightly at this time and then said to the kneeling people.

Shuo Ling was looking at Su Tong and Zhao Po, who he had met before. They were the guards of Xu Qing given by the Emperor when he returned to Jiandu.

He saw them when he saw off Xu Qing that day. He thought, "Shouldn't they be with Xu Qing now? How could they appear at the frontier?" Shuo Ling looked at the people following them, and thought they should be the people of Jiandu.

Then Shuo Ling looked at the two and asked, "Why are you here?"

"My Lord, we are here by the order of His Excellency to transport the potatoes to the frontier fortress." Zhao Po said at this moment.

After hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned, "Potatoes?"

Zhao Po nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Tong saying at this moment.

"My Lord, you may not know that Infanta Qingcheng taught the victims of Jiandu how to plant potatoes before, and there was a harvest of potatoes while there was a shortage of food in the border fortress. When Master Xu knew it, he asked us to send these potatoes to the border fortress." Su Tong said.

After hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned. He looked around and then asked, "Where are the potatoes? Have they been sent to the frontier fortress?"

"Not yet. We ran into Xiling people here. They used our people as a threat. Not to mention potatoes, even the carriages were taken away." Su Tong slapped his hands at this time and said with anger.

After Su Tong finished speaking, Shuo Ling asked, "How many people? How long have they left?"
