Chapter 295: Into the Mountain
"Oh, you want to go to the mountains?" the mayor looked expectant, and after looking at them from head to toe, he shook his head in disappointment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Look at you are fully armed, you were sent from above to exterminate the bandits, don't make a fuss, you can't succeed with your little men!" in his tone, with a slight mockery.
Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows slightly: "There are bandits in the mountains?"
"Of course, all the bandits are hiding in the mountains, it is estimated that there are hundreds, and when they didn't fight with the West Asian barbarians more than ten years ago, they couldn't help the army sent thousands of people into the mountains to encircle and suppress them. ”
Speaking of this, the mayor paused, shrugged his shoulders with a smile, looked at Zheng Fei with a pair of sleek eyes, and said, "It's impossible for anyone to be a guide and enter the mountain with you." ”
Zheng Fei smiled knowingly and beckoned to the sailor beside him, who quickly took out a heavy small cloth bag from his backpack, which was full of silver coins.
"One hundred silver coins, anyone?"
He scanned around with a small cloth bag, and saw that the faces of the people around him suddenly changed, and there was a looming greed in their eagerness.
Just when a young man couldn't help but take it, the mayor glared at him and raised his hand to stop it.
"Steady, steady!" said the mayor to tell the young man with his eyes, though he himself was in a hurry.
That's a hundred silver coins! In the small town of Kaia, one hundred silver coins is the income of an ordinary family for five years, so there are a large number of young and middle-aged people who go to Constanta to work as porters, which is also one of the important reasons for the banditry.
However, as the mayor of a town, he had to try his best to make more profits for everyone, and since the person in front of him was willing to pay a hundred silver coins to find a guide, he might as well make a little more pitfalls.
He looked at Zheng Fei and shook his head decisively.
"No, the Lord once said that life is the most precious thing, and we Kaia people are poor, but we will never risk our lives for a hundred silver coins. ”
Looking at the mayor's face, Zheng Fei felt that it was so annoying......
Zheng Fei didn't want to worry about this little money with him, and if he had more, he would improve the food for the residents of the town.
"Two hundred silver coins. ”
"No, no, no, please have a little more respect for the lives of the Kaia. ”
It's unbearable.
To be honest, Zheng Fei now has assets of millions of silver coins, and he doesn't care about a few hundred silver coins at all, but he can't stand the insatiable face of the mayor, that's right, he is insatiable!
"Okay, then I don't need a guide. ”
Zheng Fei indifferently put away the small cloth bag, turned the horse around, and led the horse team to kick the dust away.
"Oh my...... Look at what you've done!" The young man who had just wanted to take it glared at the mayor with hatred, and then shouted at the horse, "Please wait a minute! I'll be your guide!"
The greedy have to be cured.
Zheng Fei smiled and shouted without looking back: "Pack up your things and set off now!"
Santiago took two small bags of silver from his hand, threw them with his stout arms, and landed at the young man's feet.
The mayor quickly picked up the bag and looked at the young man worriedly: "Klin, the mountains are dangerous. ”
"Don't worry, I'll run away when I encounter bandits, and let these guys who don't know how to do it fight by themselves. ”
This young man, Klin, was the only son of the mayor and the captain of the guard in the town of Kaeya, although the so-called guard was only ten men.
Soon, Clint packed up his knives and spears, caught up with the promenade of horses, and led them into the mountains before it was dark, in order to earn a huge sum of two hundred silver coins.
The scenery around the town is quiet and beautiful, behind the vast and boundless prairie, the hazy continuous mountains can be seen, extending into the invisible distance.
In another month, when the spring flowers are in full bloom, many rich and noble people from the nearby big towns will come here in their beautiful canopy carriages for a trip close to nature.
Sitting on horseback, smelling the friendly fragrance of grass, Zheng Fei took out the map in his arms.
"Haven't you already arrived in town, and what are you doing looking at the map?" Santiago leaned over with his head leaned in, the only candy left in his mouth.
"This is not a map to the town. Zheng Fei replied lightly.
"What's that?"
"The prince's hand-drawn map to the hideout of the descendants of Sparta. ”
"Oh~ Speaking of the prince, that guy was knocked out by me and tied up and stuffed into the box, leaving a vent on the lid of the box, you don't know how annoying that guy is, he talks a lot, it is estimated that the two guys who take care of him can be tossed crazy. ”
The more Santiago spoke, the more smug he became, so much so that he couldn't control his volume, alarming Clin, who was leading the way.
Kling was stunned, turned back and asked, "Who is the prince?"
"Oh, nothing, it's a nickname for one of my men, punished for a little mistake. Zheng Fei laughed and smashed Santiago to signal him not to leak his mouth.
Kling was still puzzled, and then asked, "What are the descendants of Sparta, is it the name of your army for bandits, and ...... exalt them so highly?"
"Well, you know, those bandits are very tough. ”
As they spoke, they were far away from the town, and they followed the road towards the fork in the road.
Seeing this, Kling hurriedly stopped it.
"Hey, it's in the wrong direction, you should go into the mountain from that side. ”
"Keep going and you'll be pleasantly surprised. ”
Listening to Zheng Fei's answer, Kling secretly complained in his heart, thinking that he was chattering.
Ten minutes later, when Kling saw the army of hundreds of people at the fork in the road from afar, he was instantly stunned.
"Oh my God...... "I don't know if it's excitement or fear, Kling shuddered.
"Don't worry, it's all mine, five hundred musketeers are enough to deal with bandits, right?"
After a moment's silence, Clint scoffed.
"Not necessarily, because you can't even find where the bandits are. ”
"yes, that's kind of interesting. ”
Zheng Fei couldn't help but smile and take a sip of wine.
Do you know that there is a kind of man in this world, called the Native Americans? Do you know who the real mountain jungle experts are?
Uh, didn't you come to find the descendants of Sparta, why are you still competing with bandits...... He shook his head, happily picking up speed and running towards the main army.
The mountains, about ten kilometers west of the town of Kaia, are surrounded by a large plain with no obscurity.
At the end of the day, five hundred and one people arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Since the weather has just warmed up, the mountains are still bare, and there is much less vegetation to make it easier to search.
A small group of people were left to guard the horses, and the rest of the people took their equipment and set off under the guidance of their guides.
If you want to enter the mountain, you must pass through a pass, where the terrain is dangerous and there are cliffs on both sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the bandits have a little brain, they will definitely arrange an ambush here. (To be continued.) )
