The soldiers guarding the city looked Gao Chong up and down, and didn't pay attention to Gao Chong's reply. There are many such caravans nowadays.

In the past, such blatant buying and selling of grain would not be allowed. Now that the world is in chaos, grain is more expensive, so Gao Chong and the others were allowed to enter the city.

Because the soldiers guarding the city knew in their hearts that if they entered Nanyang City with so much food, they might leave half of it as a reward for staying in the city when they met the guards.

Gao Chong and others entered the city smoothly, and then found an inn. Zhang Fei went up to ask for a few rooms, and then pushed the food to the backyard of the inn to store.

Zhang Fei ordered some more wine and meat, and the three of them ate and drank. They just vomited out after taking a sip of the wine, so they heard Xu Chu say:

"Fah, what kind of wine is this? It's so bad, it's like horse urine."

As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, he was stopped by Gao Chong who was on the side. Gao Chong said:

"It doesn't taste good, so don't drink it. Remember what we are here for today. After taking Nanyang, I will let you drink to your heart's content. Don't cause trouble. If you delay the action tonight, I can't protect you."

Hearing Xu Chu say that the wine was bad, Zhang Fei was about to express his opinion too, when he heard Gao Chong say so, so he swallowed what was about to come to his lips.

Everyone knew that the wine was not bad, it was because they were used to drinking the wine made by their lord, so they didn't want to drink the previous wine at all.

The few people had no choice but to be patient, and slowly drank a pot of wine without daring to drink more. After drinking, they came to Gao Chong's room.

Gao Chong said to the two of them:

"When we act tonight, we must be cautious and try not to startle the snake. If we are found, we will kill the city gate directly and don't cause trouble."

After hearing this, the two of them already knew that, after repeated exhortations, they also went back to their room to rest. Just as they lay down, they heard someone making noise in the backyard of the inn.

When Gao Chong, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu heard the movement, they all left the room and came to the backyard. They saw several officers and soldiers with long knives on their waists, talking to the people they brought.

So the three of them stepped forward, and only then did they realize that these officers and soldiers were here to grab food. Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Gao Chong hurried forward and drove aside the subordinates who were arguing with the officers and soldiers.

Gao Chong looked at the officers and soldiers with a smile on his face, and asked:

"My lords, I'm going to take this food back to my master. You will take half of it when you come up. This is too much. Can you take less?"

The menacing officer and soldier looked at Gao Chong and said proudly:

"Since you have brought food to our Nanyang City, you have to abide by the rules of our Nanyang City."

After hearing this, Gao Chong asked suspiciously:

"Dare to ask this official, what are the rules in Nanyang City?"

Hearing Gao Chong, the officer and soldier asked himself what the rules were, so he said:

"It seems that you are coming to our Nanyang for the first time, so let me tell you, no matter how much food you bring to our Nanyang City, you must keep half of it. This is the rule."

Zhang Fei and Xu Chu in the back were a little annoyed when they heard that officer and soldier was so arrogant and blatantly robbed, and they were about to step forward to teach them a lesson.

Seeing that the two were about to come forward, Gao Chong hurriedly coughed to attract the eyes of the two to look at him, but Gao Chong shook his head slightly at the two, and stopped the impulsive two with actions.

So Gao Chong pretended to be very embarrassed, and said to several officers and soldiers:

"Guys, this is the first time we have come to Nanyang City. I don't know the rules. I hope you don't take offense. How about giving the ten carts of grain to the officials?"

After Gao Chong finished speaking, the officer and soldier said angrily:

"Don't you understand what I said? I said, I want half of the food, five carts!"

The officers and soldiers obviously lost their patience. After saying this, they pulled out the big knife from their waist without hesitation, put the knife on Gao Chong's neck, and said to Gao Chong:

"Do you understand now?"

When Gao Chong saw the leading officers and soldiers put the knife on his neck, the killing intent flashed in my eyes, and then he pretended to be very scared and said:

"Don't be impulsive, the official, don't be impulsive, five carts of grain, just five carts of grain, you can push away at any time."

The soldier who put the knife on Gao Chong's neck took it back with satisfaction, and said with a proud face:

"You are still sensible, this is the first time, next time if you bring food to our Nanyang City, remember to hand it in."

Gao Chong quickly nodded and said yes, the officers and soldiers patted Gao Chong on the shoulder, and then people pushed the five carts of grain out.

After the food was pushed away by the officers and soldiers, Gao Chong, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu returned to Gao Chong's room. Zhang Fei and Xu Chu looked annoyed and asked Gao Chong:

"Those people, we should kill them directly! Why are you talking so much to them?"

Gao Chong looked at the angry two people, couldn't help but smiled and said to them:

"Zhongkang, Yi Demo will be angry. If we act too aggressively, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion. I acted with them just now to reassure them. By tonight, we want to kill them. Talking?"

After Zhang Fei and Xu Chu heard this, they were still a little angry, so Zhang Fei said:

"After taking Nanyang tonight, we will find these people to settle accounts. Only when such people die can the people not be bullied."

Gao Chong nodded and said:

"That's right, after taking Nanyang, we must rectify the atmosphere in Nanyang's officialdom, and let them know that officials who bully the people are not allowed in the Lord's city."

This matter was just an episode, and it was resolved with Gao Chong's superb acting skills. The three continued to go back to the room to rest. It was almost midnight, and the three opened their eyes at the same time.

After Gao Chong got up, he opened the door cautiously. After a while, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu walked in, and then the dozen or so soldiers who brought him also walked in.

Gao Chong said to the crowd:

"It's almost time for Zi Shi. According to the plan, the brothers should have already gathered at the gate of the city. Let's set off quickly."

Gao Chong led the crowd to the backyard of the inn quietly, and then turned out of the inn one after another and came to the street.

Everyone walked carefully on the street, Gao Chong specially found an inn not far from the city gate, and arrived at the city gate not long after, and found the rest of the people who had already arrived.
