Zhao Jun has completed almost all of his preparations.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

It’s just that the delivery of Dongfeng Express is really slow.

Just as Zhao Jun was counting on his fingers and waiting, there was a sudden shouting outside the door.

Qingliu rushed in hurriedly.

"What's wrong? Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Zhao Jun asked lazily while slumped in his chair.

"Sir, something has happened. Did you say you would open the market today?"

Qingliu originally planned to go out with a basket in the morning to buy some groceries or something.

Not long after he walked onto the street, he heard shocking news, so he hurried back.

"No, who said that?"

Zhao Jun was a little confused. When did she say that it would open today? The express delivery hasn't arrived yet.

"But when I went out just now, I heard a lot of people saying that the trade will open today. Quite a few people from outside the Great Wall have already gathered at the city gate."

Qingliu stamped his feet anxiously.

Our master hasn't given the order yet, so how can the trade be opened now?

After hearing this, Zhao Jun stood up suddenly with a serious expression.

"What's going on? Who sent this message? I clearly didn't issue any instructions."

"I don't know. I just heard people saying that on the street, so I hurried back to report it."

Qingliu didn't know who spread the news.

Zhao Jun's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

This sudden news gave her a very bad feeling.

At this time, Meng Yi, who was originally strolling in the yard, also heard the sound and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Zhao Jun's face was deeper than ever before.

Immediately, he put away his smile and became nervous. Qingliu next to him told him what had happened.

"I don't think the current situation is right. Suddenly, there are people flocking to the city gate, and the news was released so quickly. Someone must be behind this."

"And, I estimate that Ma Hong is probably involved."

She quickly guessed who might be behind the attack. After all, this was the only person she had offended in the North.

"What on earth does he want to do?"

Meng Yi's tone was also very serious. He didn't expect Ma Hong to be so bold.

"It's definitely related to the Huns in the trade war."

"Meng Yi." Zhao Jun looked at Meng Yi and suddenly said.

"Yes." Meng Yi nodded in response.

"We brought an extra group of men from Xianyang this time. Take half of them and quietly sneak up to the city gate. Replace the soldiers originally under Ma Hong's command. Be camouflaged and keep a low profile."

Meng Yi nodded. The group of people he brought from Xianyang were originally for protection purposes, and each of them had good skills.

"The city gate, does he really dare to tamper with it?"

"We have to be prepared for any eventuality. Besides, whether we dare or not, we can just go and see for ourselves."

"I'm going to take the remaining half of the people and go directly to the city gate to check the situation."

She will definitely show up.

"Okay, that's it for now. We'll just have to act accordingly. Let's go."

She couldn't waste too much time in the house, she had to hurry to the city gate to see what was going on.

As expected, as soon as Zhao Jun went out, he heard people on the street discussing the opening of trade.

Many people were heading towards Jidu Market, as they all wanted to see something new.

She quickened her pace and soon led her men to the city gate.

The gate has not been opened yet, but you can vaguely see a lot of people outside, some even pushing horse-drawn carriages.

Ma Hong was standing not far from the city gate. When he saw Zhao Jun coming, he smiled gently.

You're finally here. If you hadn't come, how could I start this show?

"Master Zhao is finally here. I was wondering why you, the person in charge, wouldn't be here during this trade fair."

Ma Hong walked over with a smile.

"Ma Hong, when did I ever say we would open the trade today?"

"The preparations haven't been made yet. We can't open the gate today, and we can't let in those outsiders."

Standing behind Zhao Jun were Qingliu and many other captains who had been following him.

She silently looked at the guards at the city gate and the soldiers brought by Ma Hong, and compared them. It was obvious that the other side had the advantage in numbers.

"Master Zhao, what are you talking about? It's clear that the trade will open today."

"Everyone, get ready."

Ma Hong spoke slowly, then winked at the deputy general at the city gate.

The deputy general received the order and was about to open the city gate.

He looked at the people from outside the pass who were dressed as ordinary people and pushing carts outside the gate.

He knew that the people opposite him were the Huns, and the things covering the chariots were their swords.

But there was no way, the plan had already progressed to this point and it was no time for him to hesitate.

He gritted his teeth and was about to open the city gate.

Zhao Jun sensed something was wrong and glanced at the trembling hands of the soldiers at the city gate.

What Ma Hong did was too obvious. The person outside the city gate was definitely not an ordinary outsider.

Zhao Jun also quickly gave a wink to the captain behind him.

The captain quickly came to the city gate and stopped the other party from opening the door.

No matter what, the problem must be solved in this northern city, and the Huns outside must not be allowed in.

Otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ma Hong narrowed his eyes.

"You are smart, but so what."

He waved his hand, and soon a large number of people appeared behind him.

Now he didn't even want to pretend.

"In the face of absolute force, everything is futile."

Zhao Jun nodded, what he said was right.

Zhao Jun was not at all panicked and continued to speak slowly and calmly.
