Dinner was simple, big pot stew. Meat seasoned with salt is not very tasty. But all of them are eating with relish.

Salt is expensive, and so is meat.

Don't think that you can eat meat every day on the prairie. Cattle and sheep are the most valuable assets of the herdsmen, not only to pay taxes, but also to deal with nobles, and in the end there is not much left of them. Only when the cattle and sheep are old or when the cattle and sheep are dying can they have a chance to get addicted. Usually, herders still rely on dairy products to fill their stomachs. And generally speaking, there are very few people in this world who can have a full stomach.

The Tatars and the Qin clansmen still talked happily with each other. And for Qin Cang, a noble man who can give them enough grain and salt, the Tatar people's perception is also very good. Salt is a very rare commodity.

Especially when the Tatars did not know how to dry salt.

You know, the eastern coast of Crimea is the most salinity of the Sea of Azov, and the sediment is silted, and the beaches are wide. Coupled with the unique precipitation period of the Mediterranean climate, where there is almost no rain in the summer and the sun is just shining high, this is the best place to get salt. There are few drawbacks other than a bit of latitude. Qin Cang wanted to set off several times in advance to try salt drying on the northern shore of the Kerch Peninsula. If it weren't for Qiao Su's persuasion, I'm afraid Qin Cang would be busy on the north coast right now.

"Four or two heads, you say, how can we chase?"

Some Tatars asked Qin Siliang.

How to chase? Qin Siliang didn't know either. But before leaving, Qin Cang had told Qin Siliang about the surrounding situation.

To the west and east were the territory of the Genoese. And although I don't know why, there should have been a Genoese colony in Tana at the mouth of the Don River. It was also an important market for the Genoese to buy slaves. In Kerch, however, no merchant ships passed by for several months. Qin Cang thought that the novice protection period was in play, but calculating the time, the final test should come, right? Otherwise, the time for the harvest is almost up!

Qin Cang thought that the time of this horse bandit attack was a test. And it may just be a prelude to a test.

"Take care!"

Qin Cang's words moved Qin Siliang very much.

"Go west first! The bandits must have come by chance. What is there to grab in this wild land, or the world of Kafara is interesting. Qin Siliang said guessingly.

Qin Siliang felt that since there were slaves sold everywhere here, were these horse bandits also going to catch some slaves and sell them?

In that case, let's go west first.

After making up their minds, early the next morning, sixty elite horsemen scattered out to search the narrow Kerch Peninsula. The flat shape and monolithic topography of the Kerch Peninsula are also difficult to hide.

A day to no avail. However, Qin Siliang turned back and swept again.

Still no results.

Qin Siliang knew in his heart that this was probably because the horse bandits saw that there were fewer people and ran back.

"Can't leave yet? Uncle Four? ”

"Let's go! Why don't you leave? If this thief is not caught for a day, my heart will be uneasy for a day! I'm afraid, I'm afraid that they will provoke that hot duck man! Qin Siliang said worriedly.

Everyone has a scale in their hearts. Qin Siliang paid himself that he was not an ungrateful villain, so he really had to chase down the horse bandits!

Another day and a half, when Qin Siliang looked at the undulating mountains and towering woods in the distance, Qin Siliang knew that he had arrived, Kaffa, the largest slave market on the Black Sea.

Sixty horsemen gradually gathered together.

Now everyone's expressions are a little solemn.

Enter?

Not entering?

"First...... Hide here. Let's see if we can squat on those bunnies! ”

After all, Qin Siliang is not an immortal, and he can predict the prophet. What does the future hold? Hell knows! If he provoked the hot duck man, wouldn't he Qin Siliang become a big sinner?

A group of people then lurked here.

Good thing it's on the edge, far from the port of Kaffa. And there were not many Tatars and Genoese or Greeks in the vicinity. Only one caravan passed by in the past two days. It was the Tatars who escorted slaves to Kaffa for sale.

Another day, the sound of horses' hooves finally alarmed Qin Siliang and the others, who were waiting impatiently.

A group of more than a dozen people, like a patchwork of strange clothes, emaciated horses. Everything fits perfectly into the characteristics of a horse bandit.

"Damn, dog mongrel, it's a bad thing for me to squat here for so long! Cheap you guys! Boys, draw your sword!! ”

Qin Siliang rode his war horse and pulled out his war sword!

Bow and arrow! Spear!

Sixty elite horsemen galloped on the grassland in an instant!

The strange roar was played by the Tatars to the fullest, and the poignant sound of the ape-like tiger frightened the Greek bandits!

"Kill!!"

The spear was in front, and the Tatars and Qin clansmen behind him twisted flexibly on their horses, and iron arrows flew in, sealing their throats with an arrow!

A dozen Greeks were shot to the ground almost without any reaction!

Before Qin Si and the two killed the enemy, only one person was still alive.

Then a spear was inserted diagonally behind him, and the kid's life was taken!

"Fuck your uncle! Leave a live mouth too! Qin Siliang laughed and scolded his descendants.

In fact, there are still living mouths. Most of the people who were shot to the ground were only injured and not dead.

Soon, the Tatars who knew Greek pulled the Greeks and horse bandits to interrogate, it doesn't matter if they don't interrogate, this trial shocked Qin Siliang into a cold sweat!

"Were you the ones who wanted to sneak up on our clan last time?!"

"It's not....... It's ......"

The bandits still had arrows stuck in their bodies, but in the face of the Tatars (their point of view), they had to swallow their anger.

"Why are you going to our tribe?!"

“...... It was the nobles of Kaffa who asked us to go! They said there was a businessman who went missing. But some merchants said that when Kerch was passing by, they saw the four missing ships from a distance! ”

Qin Siliang listened to the Tatar people's relay, and he was covered in cold sweat!

"Ask him, what's the reaction of the hot duck people in Kaffa?"

"The nobles of Kaffa are already organizing an army! They also hired us...... Go Pathfinder...... It is said that they organized an army of hundreds of people! And hundreds of slave catchers! I...... Please, let me go! ”

The words of the Greeks caused Qin Siliang and the others to fall into the cold winter purgatory.

It's over, it's all over.

"Finally, I asked him, why did the merchant pass through Chizhou?"

"Chizhou...... Ah, I know! In the first few months, there was civil strife among the Tatars in the Crimean Khanate, and the caravans of the Genoese were blocked! The Genoese were still organizing armies against the rebels, so Kaffa had been depressed in recent months! ”

Well......

Qin Siliang nodded at the Tatars. The Tatars who heard the news simply and neatly used the sharp saber in their hands to understand the fate of the horse bandits.

"Sons! Come on! Get back! ”

Qin Siliang's heart had been devoured by the flames at this moment......
