Chapter 65: Five Decrees
Chapter 5 The Guarded Village
The caravan went according to the established route, and Shang Wu's began to start an inhuman and painful life that night, and he couldn't show his compulsion in front of his subordinates, so he had to pretend that he wanted to walk with the guards, so that the crooked fight inspired the guards, and the guards worked harder to do their errands, and some people also slipped to Shang Wu's side from time to time to say the situation ahead, and handed a piece of water, so they were not courteous.
In this way, Shang Wu walked forward with the car during the day, drinking the unpleasant decoction prepared by Wu Ya without knowing what herbs to use, and the two beauties were sandwiched at night, which was a strange beauty and a blessing for others, but for Shang Wu, he could not have a color heart, even if he had a color heart, he had no strength, and his strength had been exhausted by the day hike, and Shang Wu only hoped that he would come earlier during the day to get rid of the pain of this Yan Fu.
It is also strange to say that although the body is tired from hiking during the day, although the body is tired after drinking the unpalatable decoction prepared by Na Wuya, the human spirit can also be much clearer, and it will not be so dizzy.
"Master, come and see that we are almost there." A guard pulled Shang Wu forward and walked briskly.
Waiting for Shang Wu to walk quickly to the front car and look ahead, a village surrounded by wood in front of him stood in the distance, presumably there would be about an hour to reach the gate of the village.
Shang Wu's legs were really sore, and as soon as his mind turned around, this was a good opportunity to get on the car and rest, so he turned back and climbed into the fifth car, opened the curtain and entered the carriage.
"It's almost time to get to that tribe's stockade in front, Wu Ya, what are your plans?" Shang Wu picked up the water bladder and drank the water as he spoke.
"It's finally here, it's time to send someone to contact the other party first, and discuss who is the right person to go." Wu Ya put down the snacks in her hand, looked at Shang Wu with a smile and said.
"You're the caravan leader, you can arrange it." After Shang Wu finished speaking angrily, he picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it.
"The businessman has raised me so much, I can't help but give face to the businessman, since the businessman has spoken, then the businessman will go to negotiate first. We await your good news. Wu Ya said with a smile on her lips.
"I didn't say what I wanted." Shang Wu hurriedly argued,
At this time, Wu Ya, Lu Lu and Tian Luo, the three girls in the carriage, looked at Shang Wu with six eyes in unison, Shang Wu was a little embarrassed, but Shang Wu didn't want to do this errand, so he turned his back and didn't look at the three of them and lay directly in the carriage.
"If you don't go, then I'll give you 。。。。。 in the middle of the night." Wu Ya hadn't said the rest of the words yet.
Shang Wu immediately got up and said:
"I'll go, I'll go, I'll not be able to go." After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage like a fly.
The laughter of the three women suddenly sounded in the carriage.
Shang Wuqi's heart was blocked, and he secretly swore that when he was healthy, he would let Wu Ya beg him to pamper her.
Shang Wu kicked the stones on the ground in a huff and walked forward step by step, and the convoy had now slowed down, and it would be in until Shang Wu and a team of guards had successfully contacted the people in the stockade, which would avoid a lot of trouble.
Shang Wu walked to the front car after a while, called the pair of archers to his side, and said:
"You disguise the bow and arrows you are carrying, so that no one can see it, so that we can go in and negotiate with them, and put the dagger you carry in a convenient position, in case of an accident, we can raid, understand."
"Understood."
"Understood."
"Understood."
A group of archers replied in unison, this team of archers in the merchant said that it was archers, but most of them were regarded as hunters outside, after all, the merchants were not so wealthy to make uniform uniforms and weapons for each person, their current clothing is still very different, some are dressed in animal skins, some are wearing clothes made of linen, even if the material of the clothes is the same, the style of the clothes and the position of the patches on them are very different, and the bows and daggers in their hands are only a general portrait, But putting a piece is still a big difference.
After the archers disguised themselves as ordinary people, Shang Wu himself rode Xiaobai and led a team of camouflaged archers to the village.
A group of people rode horses close to the village three arrows, then slowed down the speed of the horse and slowly moved forward, the gate of the village was closed before they approached, Shang Wu took people close to the gate of the village, and saw a group of people standing on the wall of the wall as if they were facing a great enemy nervously holding various weapons.
"O people from afar, where did you come from, what are you doing here, we have no extra food or gold and precious stones, please go and see elsewhere." An old man on the wall of the wall, afraid that Shang Wu and his party would not be able to hear clearly, shouted at the top of his voice.
"Our wandering merchants, passing by here, saw that you have a stockade here, so we will come first to see what you have to trade with us, and we can bring good fine salt, as long as your things are good, and the salt pipe is enough." Shang Wu also responded to the old man's words with his throat pulled.
"Old man, if you don't worry about us going in, we can trade outside the gate, you hang your property down in a basket, and we will give you what you need and put it on the basket and you can carry it up." Shang Wu saw the other party's vigilant mentality, so he thought of a compromise solution. As long as you make a deal and gain trust, even if you don't open the door this time, you will open the door next time.
When the old man heard Shang Wu's words, it was convenient for the people around him to talk, and after they exchanged for a quarter of an hour, the old man shouted to Shang Wu:
"It works, we have dried jerky, grain, and furs, and we make some wine. Wait for us to put some things down and see how much salt we can change." The old man said.
"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to haul the salt." Shang Wu sent an archer to summon a carriage loaded with salt and an empty carriage to facilitate the transaction.
It took a lot of time to come and go this time, and the people on the wall saw that Shang Wu and the others were waiting quietly without any movement, so they slowly relaxed their vigilance.
"Can the old man give me some water to drink, we're a little thirsty." Shang Wu is deliberately looking for a topic with the old man, otherwise how boring it would be to look at the small eyes with a pestle.
"Young man, you wait for me, and then someone will fetch you water." The old man shouted to Shang Wu and turned around and instructed the people around him to go down to the wall to fetch water, and after a while, a pottery was filled with water, and hung down with a basket through a rope, Shang Wu stepped forward and picked up the pottery and said to the old man on the wall:
"I'm a little thirsty all the way, thank you, old man." Shang Wu said to the old man on the wall, then picked up the pottery and drank the water, and after drinking, he turned around and gave the archers beside him a drink.
"This is the water from our sweet well, can you taste the sweetness?" The old man said proudly.
"The water is so sweet, why don't I quickly share it with my brothers, by the way, is there any bandit near the old man's house, why are you so vigilant." Shang Wu continued the old man's words, and asked what he was curious about by the way.
"A tribe next to me was slaughtered a month ago, and we haven't found out the situation until now, we're all a little nervous now, you businessmen, you have to be careful when you go out, don't run into those gangsters." The old man explained the reason for his vigilance and kindly reminded Shang Wu and the others.
