The Yuan Dynasty had thirteen prefectures, each with five major granaries, and the Yizhou granary served three prefectures. Each prefecture initially appointed a governor, who served as the local governor, safeguarded imperial power, and held absolute military authority.

Yizhou granary is an important place in the country and is directly under the jurisdiction of Yizhou Army, which directly obeys the Yizhou Governor Gong Changjun.

If the person below is really Gong Liulang...

The sentry did not dare to respond and immediately returned to the granary to report.

They saw the soldiers above running down the stairs in panic and disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Tian San knew that the matter was settled. He was quite proud of himself and felt that he was extremely wise for not killing Gong Liulang directly at that time.

A moment later, a group of soldiers appeared upstairs.

The man in the lead was Zhang Yuanyan, assistant to the Yizhou Pacifier and Gong Changjun's confidant.

The captain of the Yizhou military camp who was originally stationed here has contracted the epidemic. He is currently the highest-ranking officer in Yizhou and is temporarily in charge of the granary.

Zhang Yuanyan saw at a glance that the person downstairs was indeed Gong Liulang. His face changed immediately and his heart sank.

After all, he had been an official for many years, so he immediately realized that this group of rabble came for food, and Liu Lang's life was not in danger for the time being.

After figuring it out, Zhang Yuanyan looked at Tian San and the others and asked in a deep voice, "Who's downstairs? Do you know that trespassing into a granary is a serious crime?"

Tian San and others did not react when they heard it. No matter what crime he committed, the most important thing was to survive.

"We are from Gaoyi Longhu Village." Someone in the crowd answered subconsciously.

Tian San didn't have time to cover his mouth. He turned around and glared at the man angrily, cursing, "Are you stupid? You're telling me your identity, are you waiting for the court to settle the score later?"

He raised his head and said loudly to Zhang Yuanyan upstairs: "Sir, we are asking for food. We will exchange a thousand dan of food for Gong Liulang's life."

"If you don't agree, let Governor Gong wait to collect the body of his nephew!" As he said this, he raised the scimitar stained with the monster's blood and put it directly on Gong Liulang's neck.

His messy hair hung down, covering half of his face, and Gong Liulang didn't react at all from beginning to end.

Zhang Yuanyan stared at the scimitar in fear.

He calmed himself down a bit and said calmly, "The grain in the granary belongs to the imperial court. If we were to take the initiative to open the granary and release the grain, we would be guilty of the same crime as you."

Tian Sancai ignored all this and sneered, "Sir, do you disagree with this?"

He moved his knife-holding hand upwards, and the blade came close to Gong Liulang's skin.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanyan's expression finally became a little tense. He was deeply afraid that the knife stained with the monster's blood would cut Gong Liulang's skin and infect him with the disease, thus turning him into a man-eating monster.

Gong Liulang is a direct descendant of the Gong family and the nephew of the governor. If he does not come to the rescue, the Gong family of Qichuan will definitely hold him accountable.

If the granaries were opened to release grain, even if the epidemic was cleared and discovered by the court in the future, the governor would definitely protect him considering that he saved Liu Lang's life.

What’s more, it was only a mere 1,000 dan of grain.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanyan took a deep breath and said resignedly, "Your Excellency, please move the knife away. I will immediately order people to prepare food."

Seeing that their goal was achieved, the people downstairs cheered.

Tian San also knew when to stop and immediately put down the knife.

This is a thousand stones of grain, enough for a hundred people to eat for a long time, and they will no longer have to eat tree bark for a living.

The rope tied around his body had not been untied yet, and the other end of the rope was still in Tian San's hand. While no one was paying attention, Gong Liulang slightly moved his frozen fingers.

The two groups of people who had finished the negotiation did not notice the rustling noise coming from the bushes not far away.

It takes time to load the food, so everyone stood under the city wall waiting.

After waiting for a while, seeing no movement, Tian San became impatient and asked, "Why does it take so long?"

"The soldiers are counting the food. Don't worry, sir. Liu Lang is still in your hands. I will not go back on my word." Zhang Yuanyan replied on the city wall.

Upon hearing this, Tian San had to control his temper.

After a while, he suddenly felt his cheeks getting cold. He raised his hand and touched it. Tiny snowflakes began to float in the sky without him noticing.

It's snowing.

But it’s only October, what kind of crazy weather is this!

Everyone was already wearing thin clothes and now felt even colder. The crowd gathered closer and closer, trying to keep each other warm by relying on the body temperature of others.

At this time, the 1,000 stones of grain they wanted were finally ready.

Zhang Yuanyan then proposed, "The food and fodder you requested are all here. Let's release Liu Lang first and hand over the food and the people at the same time."

"Sir, do you think I'm a fool? After we hand over the people, can we still take the food and leave?" Tian San refused without thinking. "Sir, why don't you open the door first? Once my people have transported the food away, I will return Gong Liulang to you."

Zhang Yuanyan was helpless. He waved downstairs and the granary door slowly opened.

As the gate opened, several carts of grain appeared in front of everyone. Tian San and others stared at the grain with shining eyes and ran straight towards the grain carts.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

"action!"

Following a woman's delicate cry, a group of masked people suddenly appeared from the bushes on both sides of the gate.

They were all dressed in black, with cold silver armor and masks covering their faces. Before anyone could react, they rushed straight to the door.

The soldiers under the command watched helplessly as the group of people entered the granary at lightning speed.

"Close the door! Close the door quickly!!" Faced with this sudden change, Zhang Yuanyan, who was standing on the city wall, stared at the group of people who came out of nowhere with bloodshot eyes.

His shout was like a signal. Tian San and others downstairs came to their senses and rushed forward.

"Move the food!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two soldiers in front of the door were knocked unconscious by Qin Shan's palm and fell to the ground, their life or death unknown.
