Hearing this, Xie Datou smiled and said, "Brother Ma, you are trying to steal my job as the number one groom!"

Ma Wencai chuckled and said, "Big Head Brother, you have another mission, so I'll take over for you temporarily. Besides, my last name is Ma, so being a groom is very suitable for me!"

After saying that, he ran to the Arabian horse in a funny way, wanting to get close to it.

Xiaohong is a proud person by nature. She looks down on everyone here except Xu Jinhuan. She only gives a good face to Xie Datou when he comes over with fodder.

As soon as he finishes eating the hay, he immediately turns back into a cool horse and you can't even touch him.

Now Ma Wencai was hugging the horse's neck and touching its head. How could Xiaohong bear it? So she raised her horse's hoof high and kicked Ma Wencai's still raised butt hard.

If Ma Wencai hadn't heard the noise and run away subconsciously, he would have had to lie down for more than half a month after being hit by the hoof.

"Hahaha, Brother Ma, Xiaohong is not an ordinary horse. It's not easy for you to be a good groom." Xie Datou smiled and wanted to pat Ma Wencai on the shoulder.

However, Ma Wencai dodged it nimbly. While dodging, he shouted, "Don't come over here. Your hand is as thin as a palm leaf fan. I'm afraid I can't be a groom anymore after being hit by you."

Xu Jinhuan shook his head in amusement, "Okay, stop making trouble, it's time to go."

"Okay, sir, please, your coachman will drive the carriage for you right now!"

After Ma Wencai finished speaking, he diligently helped Xu Jinhuan into the carriage. After Xu Jinhuan and Xie Guangbai were seated firmly, the carriage started moving immediately.

"Brother Ma, please take good care of the boss!" Xie Datou shouted worriedly.

After shouting, he sighed, "Oh, why do I feel like a parent sending their child away from home? I'm really getting old."

Li Yichang glanced at Xie Datou helplessly, and seeing that he was still so distraught and seemed to have lost his backbone, he encouraged him.

"Big Head Brother, this is your first time being kept by the master, so you may not be used to it.

But think about it carefully, the master is confident in entrusting so many people and so many things to us, isn't this a kind of trust?"

Xie Datou was fully revived upon hearing this. He nodded seriously, "Brother Li, you are right. I cannot fail the trust that the boss has placed in me. Let's find a safe place to stay."

Li Yichang looked at Xie Datou, who was full of energy, and nodded with satisfaction. What the boss said was indeed right. If you want to manage a team well, you have to learn to mobilize their emotions.

At this time, Xu Jinhuan and others who were being talked about had already arrived at the city gate.

"Boss, this county town is not big, but there are so many guards. It doesn't look normal at first glance." Ma Wencai squinted his eyes and looked towards the direction of the city gate.

Xu Jinhuan opened the carriage curtain upon hearing this. She frowned and said, "It seems we have come to the right place. But since the government office here has already discovered something is wrong, why did they let us leave?"

Xu Jinhuan saw that many people leaving the city were dressed in gorgeous clothes. They not only brought servants but also things with them. The large and small bags looked like they were preparing to flee.

"If any of these people are infected with the disease, I'm afraid it will spread everywhere. Does the county magistrate know what they are doing?" Xie Guangbai looked at the city gate in disbelief.

Xu Jinhuan gently moved his fingers and a barely noticeable golden light appeared at the exit of the city gate.

"Master and Madam, can't we get through here?"

"Why can't we get through this door? Oh God, are you going to kill us?"

"Why are you howling? Hurry up and leave the city. After noon today, you can't leave even if your father is the county magistrate!" said the guard Guan Yuliang dissatisfiedly.

I don't know what the magistrate is crazy about. He suddenly said an hour ago that the city should be closed. No, it's not a complete closure of the city. After noon today, people are only allowed to enter but not leave.

There was only an hour's interval between here and outside, and those rich people seemed to have received some news and were trying their best to leave.

He was also unlucky as it was his turn to be on duty. There were not only a lot of people leaving the city, but also a mixed group. He had just finished checking one team and was just waiting for them to leave before checking the next one when he heard a surprised voice in front of him.

After Guan Yuliang finished speaking, his armor accidentally swept across a servant not far away. He thought the servant would fall to the ground, but unexpectedly, when he hit the empty city gate, he bounced back.

"It bounced back?"

Guan Yuliang looked at the scene in disbelief, then he walked forward carefully and touched it, and actually touched a transparent membrane at the exit.

Because of this thing, no one can get out.

"What is this?" Guan Yuliang picked up the long knife in his hand and chopped at the invisible membrane, but the long knife not only failed to break the invisible thing, but was also bounced back violently.

"I'll do it!" After noticing something unusual, a guard went to a nearby place, got a big hammer and walked over.

As everyone was looking on expectantly, the big hammer was bounced back into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"Mom, we can't get out. I don't want to die!" A ten-year-old girl suddenly burst into tears.

The crying completely broke the quiet atmosphere. Some people angrily beat the servants, some questioned the guards in dissatisfaction, and some cried out that fate was unfair.

"Wuuuu, master, I don't want to be infected with the plague. Even if I have to die, I want to die beautifully!" A concubine dressed in fancy clothes grabbed a middle-aged man and acted coquettishly.

She didn't notice at all that the faces of everyone at the city gate changed after she said the word "plague".

"What plague? Why haven't I heard anything about it?"

"Is there a plague here? Then I won't enter the city!"

"These bastards in the county government, no wonder they have to seal off the city, it turns out they have discovered a plague, not only was I kept in the dark, I was also used as a gun by them!" a guard said gritting his teeth.

Chaos suddenly broke out at the city gate. People who had originally planned to queue up to enter the city left one after another after hearing the news. Those who had just entered the city clamored to get out, but the exit had already been blocked.

Xu Jinhuan and his men entered the city in the chaos. After they came in, Xu Jinhuan directly sealed the city gate. No one could leave without her permission.

"I want to leave!" a rich man with a fat belly said to Guan Yuliang.

Guan Yuliang pointed toward the city gate innocently and said, "I didn't stop you. You tried it yourself and you can't get out of here.

I don’t know which god did this, but now no matter whether you are rich or poor, we are all on the same boat. If you live, I live too, and if I die, you die too.”

Guan Yuliang was open-minded. After all, he was a worthless person with no father, no mother, no wife and no children. When the time came, he would die with these rich people, and he would have more companions on his way to the underworld.
