When Neo heard the answer of the intelligence station chief, he frowned slightly, three days, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, mainly because the enemy does not seem to have any action for a while, so it is impossible to determine what the enemy will calculate.

It's just that since this is already an established situation, Neo secretly plans in his heart that maybe he should prepare an additional plan against the enemy to be foolproof.

While Neo was deep in thought, the intelligence station chief continued to say another piece of news: "It is said that His Majesty has personally procured a powerful aerial weapon, which is enough to kill the Eagle Clan's giant eagle. ”

Hearing this news, Neo's eyes lit up suddenly, and in the next second, he couldn't help laughing, slapped his palm on his leg, felt particularly energetic, and said: "Okay, great! I've long seen these birdmen unpleasant!"

Looking at the bright sky outside the window, Neo suddenly swept away the gloom in his heart and felt full of confidence.

Two days later, a long Xinghua transport team drove out from the south gate of Nantucheng.

Soon after the arrival of the military transport brigade of the Xinghua Empire in Nantucheng, the scale expanded again. In addition to the twenty vehicles transporting munitions, hundreds more caravan vehicles followed. Many of these caravans were local private caravans in Nantucheng. They were also the first merchants to respond to the Empire's call to establish a bazaar and a shop chamber of commerce in Nanban City.

Since Nanban City was attacked and harassed by the barbarians, in addition to the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, the private chambers of commerce in Nantu City, in order to protect themselves, almost all stopped the trade between Nantu City and Nanban City when the situation was unstable, of course, this will inevitably hurt their own economic interests.

Eventually, these private chambers of commerce, from their respective information channels, learned that the Xinghua Empire was going to send a reinforcement army. Transporting supplies to Nanban City seemed to provide them with some security, so they decided to send their own caravans to follow.

The Li Family Chamber of Commerce in Nantucheng, a carriage with comfortable interior decoration, Li Wenwen, the second son of the Li family wearing brocade clothes. and a steward of the Li family's caravan is discussing.

"Steward Luo, how long will it take us to reach Nanban City. Li Wenwen asked with a worried look in his eyes.

"Second son, don't worry, with the current speed of the caravan, we should be able to reach Nanban City in one day. Seeing that the second son's expression had begun to look restless, Steward Luo hurriedly spoke to reassure him.

"Why does my father have to open a shop in Nanban City? If you want me to say, isn't it just for the Li Family Chamber of Commerce to open a shop in Nantu City? Why do you have to do this extra thing. Running here, and why does my father have to ask me to do this?" Although sitting in a comfortable carriage, the fatigue of the long journey still made the second son of the Li family a little impatient, seeing that he had walked for so long and still did not reach his destination, Li Wenwen couldn't help but ask with incomprehension and resentment.

"Second son, our chamber of commerce mainly sells finished medicines. The demand for medicinal herbs is extremely high. Our pharmacy is not only sold well in Xinghua country. It was also recognized by the nobles of the Xia Kingdom. However, we have been unable to increase the production of chemicals due to the shortage of raw materials...... The chairman once said that once the Li Family Chamber of Commerce occupies the northern mountainous area of Baiman, and also controls the production area of medicinal herbs, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely soar to the sky. Even the government can't deal with us. Steward Luo patiently explained some of the meridians of the family business to Li Wenwen, trying to make Li Ergongzi understand the family's thinking and way of doing business.

Li Wenwen is not a stubborn person after all, after hearing the housekeeper's words, the expression on his face turned a little cloudy, and he began to think about and digest the housekeeper's teachings.

After a moment of contemplation. Li Wenwen suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked, "Is the Xinghua Empire going to deal with us?"

"It's not so serious, it's just that I heard that the Xinghua Empire has the possibility of levying commercial taxes, so our Li Family Chamber of Commerce can't help but have some embankment. Steward Luo said.

"That's why my father wants to take his eldest brother to Xia Kingdom?" Li Wenwen immediately asked when he heard this.

Steward Luo seemed to be gagged by something, and he was speechless for a moment, because although Li Wenwen was involved in the family business for the first time, his guess was so accurate.

In fact, Chairman Li of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce brought the eldest prince to the Xia Kingdom, and it was indeed because Chairman Li was not very optimistic about the Xinghua Empire at first, specifically, he was not optimistic about the plan to continue to expand his business in the jurisdiction of the Xinghua Empire, so he decided to transfer a large amount of funds to the Xia Kingdom, and in fact, it was already being transferred.

It's just that Chairman Lee, as a person who is a good businessman, certainly does not mean that in the current situation, although the situation has changed, but the situation is not clear, he will completely abandon the industry that he has established in the Xinghua Empire, but the only certainty is that he will not put all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, Chairman Li arranged for his second son to go to Nanban City to support the construction of Nanban City by the Xinghua Empire, and by the way, to do the medicinal herb trade. This is also the principle of business, always maintain multi-directional development, you can prosper at all, but you must avoid both losses.

The housekeeper didn't answer the question directly, but his face was suddenly so solemn, which made Li Wenwen feel a little strange, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and was about to open his mouth again and ask the housekeeper. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from outside, which immediately alarmed Li Wenwen and them in the car, and the two who didn't know the inside story were stunned for a moment, and suddenly forgot what they were still discussing just now.

As the whistle sounded, there was a noise outside the carriage, and the convoy also stopped, Steward Luo hurriedly lifted the curtain, stepped out of the car, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Steward, it's the whistle of the army!" replied the fellow outside.

A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly flashed in Steward Luo's heart, and he immediately assigned his subordinates to investigate: "Hurry up and send someone to see what happened." ”

Li Wenwen, who also didn't know what was going on outside, was naturally restless in the car, although he heard that the housekeeper had sent his subordinates to check on the situation, he still couldn't hold back and lifted the curtain, and asked Steward Luo, "What's wrong?"

Steward Luo's face was solemn, but he still shook his head, and informed Li Wenwen of the only confirmed information: "I only know that it is the whistle of the army, and I can't be sure which way it is, and someone has been sent to investigate." ”

Li Wenwen nodded. I could only reluctantly close the curtain and wait for further information.

Finally got through this very short short time, but it seemed that a whole day had passed, Li Wenwen finally waited for Manager Luo to lift the curtain again, and said to him: "The military told us that an enemy reconnaissance team is approaching. There is nothing wrong with it, the whistle is just a warning and let's not panic. ”

When Li Wenwen heard this, he was a little relieved at the moment, but there were some confrontations ahead, and Li Wenwen gradually became a little curious, these enemies who dared to attack should be the barbarians who were confronting the Xinghua Empire head-on, what do the barbarians look like?

Thinking that his safety should not be affected. Li Wenwen suddenly became angry, wanted to go and see what was going on, and even stopped Steward Luo from following, and lifted the curtain to get out of the car.

"Second son, you'd better stay in the car, protected by guards, it should be safer. Steward Luo said.

Li Wenwen shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a waste. Since you are going to Nanban City. How can you not see the ferocity of the barbarians. ”

When Manager Luo heard this, he thought about it. did not stop it again, but arranged four guards to protect them closely. According to the arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Wenwen will take over the trade between Nantu and Nanban, and he will also be the superior of Luo Guanshi, if he angers Li Wenwen. It's hard to say in the future.

"There are people in the sky!" shouted a fellow from a private caravan.

Everyone looked up and saw two black shadows in the sky, and if they looked closely, they were two giant eagles. There are people on the Giant Eagle.

"Those Eagle Knights!" said the well-informed fellow.

Two eagle knights, already seeing the caravan on the road. One of them turned and flew away on an eagle.

Seeing this, Steward Luo was taken aback and said, "It is possible that they have gone to inform the army of the barbarians." ”

Li Wenwen looked at the military transport team in front of him and said: "I don't panic when I see the military, the matter is definitely not big, and the number of enemies is not large. Besides, the Southern Barbarian City is still in the hands of the Empire, and even if the barbarian army penetrates to the north, how many people can there be?"

Steward Luo thought for a while, nodded and responded: "What Childe said is extremely true!"

"At this time, we should take the initiative to lend a hand!" befriend the military!" Li Wenwen said to himself, thought for a while, and said to Steward Luo: "Send the captain of the guard over to show goodwill to the military of the empire, saying that the escort of our caravan can join the ranks of the barbarian army. ”

When Manager Luo heard this, he was stunned, as if he knew his second son for the first time.

Li Wenwen saw that Luo Guan was in a daze, and said slightly angrily: "Don't go quickly!"

"Yes, Childe. "Steward Luo immediately went to instruct the captain of the guard of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce to express their willingness to assist the military of the empire.

The captain of the Xinghua Army transport team that transported supplies to Nanban City was named Qin Xingguo, who was originally a slave of the Xia Kingdom who was captured by the Dongli Army, and his family was ruined. If it weren't for the Xinghua Empire, which spent money to buy them in Xilin City, Qin Xingguo thought that he would definitely live a very miserable life and would die slowly. However, the emperor of the Xinghua Empire saved him, not only giving him a surname, but also giving him the opportunity to become a citizen. Now, Qin Xingguo has also gathered a wife, his wife is also pregnant, and he has a new family, Qin Xingguo is not missing his homeland, and really regards himself as a citizen of Xinghuaguo. Therefore, Qin Xingguo especially cherished the tasks given by the emperor again and again, and he believed that these tasks were opportunities again and again.

When the team in front spotted the Eagle Knight in the sky, they immediately blew their whistles to warn them.

Qin Xingguo ordered the entire transport team to be under martial law immediately.

The accompanying escort transport team is a 1,000-step elite gun team from Xinghua City, and there is also a submachine gun team among them, which is the Xinghua Army that has come to reinforce Nanban City and will be incorporated into Nanban City. At this moment, they were very excited, they were not afraid of the barbarian army at all, the morale of the officers and soldiers was high, and they wished that they could fight the barbarians as soon as possible and be rewarded for their meritorious service.

After a while, the scouts spotted a strange barbarian army, numbering in the hundreds, who appeared to the right of the convoy, a kilometer away. The captain of the Xinghua Army's rifle team immediately trotted in front of Qin Xingguo and asked to fight. Although Qin Xingguo's military rank is not the highest, in the entire Xinghua transport team, Qin Xingguo is the highest commander, and the rifle team is subject to his constraints.

"Sir, the rifle team has asked to play!" said the rifle captain.

"What are your plans, how to protect the convoy, and what are you going to do to ensure that the supplies are delivered to Nanban City in good order? If you don't have these considerations, I will refuse you to fight. Qin Xingguo said without hesitation.

The captain of the rifle team thought that Qin Xingguo's words were not wrong, thought about it, and said, "I need to lead a hundred rifle team soldiers, as well as ten submachine gunners, to destroy the barbarian army." ”

Qin Xingguo thought for a moment and replied, "I agree to your request to go to battle! I will only give you one hour to settle the battle!"

"Don't worry, sir!, we will destroy the enemy once and for all!" replied the captain of the rifle team.

In less than three minutes, an elite squad of one hundred and eleven members of the Xinghua Army left the transport brigade and entered the dense forest on the right.

When Qin Xingguo saw them leave the convoy, he immediately ordered to stop advancing, take a temporary rest, and set up a cordon.

After a while, several captains of the guards of the private caravan came to Qin Xingguo one after another and told him that the guards of the escort team were willing to obey the arrangements of the Xinghua army and deal with the barbarians. There are not a few caravan leaders who are stupid, and what Li Wenwen can think of, they can also think of.

Qin Xingguo gathered the representatives of the private caravan together and said with a smile: "I thank you for your loyalty to the country! However, please go back and tell your stewards that our army has already found a way to deal with it, and there will be no problems." Then, Qin Xingguo paused, his face became serious, and continued: "However, your Chamber of Commerce can't be chaotic, let alone attack the military's transportation team. Otherwise, the Xinghua Army will dispose of you in accordance with the military order!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. What is a military order? A military order represents a harsh punishment, punishable by death. They heard the meaning of Qin Xingguo's words, he was not joking.

The elite team of the Xinghua Army, which infiltrated the dense forest, used the walkie-talkie and under the guidance of the scouts, and quickly found the temporary camp of the barbarian army.

This time the barbarian army was not small, but they did not seem to have any intention of attacking the convoy, and a group of people sat by a stream to rest. Moreover, they did not know that the Xinghua Army had discovered them.

Zhao Bai, the captain of the Xinghua Army squad, did not underestimate the enemy. He ordered the squad, in a semi-encircled manner, to approach the barbarians carefully. (To be continued.) )
