"It would be best to contact the government in Cangzhou..."

Chapter 1446 Seeking Profit and Forgetting Righteousness

"That magistrate of Cangzhou has made a fortune thanks to our bandit suppression efforts,"

Su Ding said.

"He can't just abandon us at a time like this, can he?"

"If those corrupt officials in the government had any conscience,"

Shi Wengong scoffed.

"The Song Dynasty wouldn't be like it is now."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try."

Zeng Tu said,

"Here's what we'll do, Teacher Shi, you arrange for someone to go out of the city and scout around the area."

"I'll write a letter,"

“Send someone to deliver it to the magistrate of Cangzhou County.”

"As for whether he's willing to send reinforcements,"

"Let's talk about it later."

"Alright,"

Shi Wengong nodded.

After descending the city wall,

Go and select reliable soldiers to leave the city.

As for Zengtu...

After writing the letter

Send someone out of the city.

He rode a fast horse through the night.

They headed straight for the Cangzhou government office.

...

one day later,

The messenger was a soldier.

Galloping on horseback all the way,

They returned to Zengtou City.

"How about it?"

Zeng Tu hurriedly asked,

"What did the county magistrate say?"

Will there be reinforcements?

"Was there a reply?"

"Sir, where did this reply come from?"

The soldier said with a bitter face,

"I arrived at the county government office,"

"After presenting the letter to the constable,"

"Not long after,"

"Then the attitude of the people in the county government changed drastically,"

"They kicked me out of the county government office."

"I waited at the entrance of the county government office for more than an hour,"

"Seeing that they didn't make a single move,"

"That's why they hurriedly returned to report the news."

"Hmph, that corrupt official! He truly is a treacherous scoundrel who abandons morality for personal gain!"

Zeng Tu angrily raised his hand and slammed it on the table.

"Never mind, brother,"

Zeng Su shook his head and said,

"Before we send someone to deliver the message,"

"I already guessed it,"

"Is this how it will turn out?"

"Compared to the answer from Cangzhou,"

Shi Wengong pondered for a moment and said,

"I'm actually more worried about Liangshan,"

"According to reports from the soldiers who went out of the city to investigate,"

"The Liangshan soldiers, besides cutting down trees on the surrounding mountains to build camps."

"As for other things, I really haven't done anything at all."

"This is far too unusual."

"If they really want to attack our Zengtou City,"

"At the very least, we should build some siege equipment,"

"It shouldn't be like this at all,"

"There was no sound at all."

"Could it be that Liangshan is waiting for reinforcements?"

Zeng Suo said,

"That's why there's been no activity lately."

"Reinforcements?"

Shi Wengong shook his head and said,

"But it's winter now,"

"Just the provisions for these eight or nine thousand soldiers alone,"

"Then Liangshan will have to endure it,"

"If the number were even larger,"

"How can Liangshan guarantee its supply lines?"

"Perhaps the Liangshan bandits are secretly plotting something in their camp?"

Zeng Sheng spoke up,

"Our scouts can only gather intelligence outside the Liangshan army camp,"

"What on earth are they doing in there?"

"The spies can't figure it out."

"The Liangshan military camp was only of ordinary size,"

Su Ding asked in confusion,

"If Liangshan really is building some kind of large siege weapon inside,"

"Even if our spies can only be outside,"

"Surely we should be able to see some..."

Chapter 1447 The Nine-Tailed Turtle Arrives

The people in Zengtou City were puzzled.

What exactly were they doing on Liangshan?

At this time, they arrived at the Liangshan camp.

Zhao Yuan and others are welcoming Tao Zongwang, the nine-tailed turtle who has come from afar.

"Chieftain,"

Tao Zongwang cupped his hands in greeting to Zhao Yuan and said...

"I came here this time,"

"Besides myself,"

"They also brought fifty skilled construction workers from our mountain area,"

"In addition, the things the chieftain told me to keep in the letter,"

“I brought it with me too.”

"By the way, when I arrived, Ah Xiu's wife..."

"Let me remind the chieftain,"

"That thing must be kept safe."

"It must never come into contact with the firelight."

"Do not worry,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"I know."

"I had Jiao Ting deliver those things to the cellar that was dug beforehand."

"My personal guards were even specially stationed at the entrance to protect it,"

"The cellar was thirty meters in circumference,"

"Fire is strictly prohibited in all areas."

"Chief, what did Brother Tao bring with him?"

Lu Zhishen asked curiously,

Why be so secretive?

"It's not that I'm deliberately trying to be mysterious,"

Zhao Yuan said helplessly,

"That thing catches fire easily,"

"One careless moment,"

“Our entire camp,”

"They're all at risk of being blown to bits,"

"So this is the only way to preserve it."

"Exploded?"

All the leaders of Liangshan were completely bewildered.

At this time, we have people.
