In the grassland in June, it is the time when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the grass and trees are lush, and the water and grass are fertile.

A large caravan walked the grassland, more than 10,000 horse-drawn carriages were connected in a series of front and back, stretching for more than ten miles, and there were a large number of people accompanying them on the front and back, and there were more than 20,000 people scattered around.

They were caravans from Datong, and the merchants of Jinzhong built together, starting from Datong all the way to the capital of Houjin, although they went straight to the trade route twice a year, the money they could earn was astronomical.

Relatively far back in the line, in a relatively luxurious and comfortable carriage, the fat boss is sitting in the middle, accompanied by a graceful maid on each side, eating a bunch of delicate grapes for a while, drinking a little wine for a while, his body swaying with the mood of the carriage, with a comfortable look on his face.

The thick curtain separates the inside and outside of the carriage into two worlds, and although there is a popping sound of the car on the lawn, it is not noticeable.

Drinking wine in the mouth, eating delicious food, smelling the aroma of beauty in the nose, and warm nephrite in the bosom, this difficult road has also become a special enjoyment.

Suddenly there was a sharp whistle, followed by the sound of messy footsteps outside, mixed with another shout, and the formation of the carriage changed as it marched.

The fat man struck suddenly, and his eyes, which had been squinting, suddenly opened and shot sharp eyes.

He said in a deep voice, "Go and see what's going on?" ”

The maids of the big family, they are all trained since childhood, and there must be something special about them when they can go out.

Now that there is an emergency, she has instantly become a heroic female general.

The two maids got up without saying a word, directly opened the curtain and jumped out of the car, and shouted coquettishly: "Childe also wants to ask, why are you panicking, why did you suddenly blow the whistle and alert?" ”

There was an old account office in a robe, who hurriedly ran over, with a look of haste on his face, and said: "Tell the son, a large group of people suddenly appeared 20 miles away, and they are hurrying towards us, it seems that I am afraid that the person who came is not good!" ”

The maid's face was expressionless, and the two of them asked at the same time: "It's cavalry, it's infantry, you can find out which side of the people and horses it is." Is it Mongolia, is it the border army or is it the Houjin? ”

"Five batches were sent out in succession and were not collected overnight, but none of them came back alive, and all of them disappeared. We don't know each other's situation at all.

However, through a distance observation, it can be seen that most of the other party are infantry, and everyone seems to be wrapped in a black cloth and wearing a mask, and there is no flag. ”

The two maids turned around at the same time and said in unison, "Childe? ”

"I see!"

The curtain was slowly pulled up, the fat man held on to the handrail, got off the carriage little by little, wiped the sweat on his head, gasped slightly, calmed down his rapid breathing, and then said: "The situation seems to be a little complicated, but it doesn't matter, our family went out to do business in the early years, and such things have not been encountered.

Before coming out, the eight families had already made a perfect plan, where is Uncle Feng who led the team now? He should have a record there, send someone to tell him, let it go, don't worry about anything else, and it is important to repel the bandits first and keep our goods.

There are eight families who have worked hard for half a year here, and if we are robbed, we will probably even die! ”

The fat man's eyes were squinted, and he spoke unhurriedly, but what he said was indeed appalling.

The faces of the three listeners changed slightly, and the old bookkeeper hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother, I'm going to pass on the words of the son, and the son waits slowly."

Don't look at us as working people, everyone has a lot of strength, no matter how bad the knife is, you can fight three or five times, not to mention that we still have two thousand elite escorts, and just bandits are not a problem.

Please wait and hear the good news! ”

The fat man had a smile on his face, was taken out of a white handkerchief, wiped his sweat slowly, and said in his mouth: "Just do your best, how can people not die?" After doing so many immoral things, we die happily, which is also a blessing, even if we are afraid of death, we can't comfort the joy, and life is better than death and torture! ”

The fat man spoke very abruptly, but several people seemed to be accustomed to it and didn't have too many expressions.

Seeing that he was still outside the world, the old bookkeeper bowed directly, turned around and left.

After that, the two maids helped the fat man to the side, and chose a relatively open line of sight, that is, this poisonous arrow connected the carriage end to end, arranged into a thick circular large array of scenes, and asked: "The prince is so not optimistic about the path chosen by the family?" ”

The fat man sneered: "The road is a good road, and it may also lead to the raw land, but it is all sticky with."

There is nothing unusual about betraying the country to seek glory, there have been many people who have done this kind of thing in history, but none of them have a good end. If the family wants to get out of this road, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Even if the family can be passed on, the reputation accumulated over the past ten generations has been ruined. Maybe it will be scolded by tens of thousands of people in future generations, and he will become a traitor and evil person who is not inferior to Qin Hui! ”

was supposed to be a good flat and straightforward narrative, but suddenly his voice was raised an octave.

"But what does that have to do with me? When the sky falls, there are naturally tall people on top. Son, I am the heir of the third room, I was not invited to see me, and I was injured and sick, so I may not live until I will hang up directly and go to see my ancestors.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too dangerous to trade, do you think such a large caravan would be in my hands? ”

The fat man laughed and said, "They are not afraid of death, but I am not afraid." Where did you die, and by what means? It makes no difference to me.

As long as the two of you are with me and life is more expensive, I have no regrets.

My family probably saw this and sent me to the Northland, right? Not a single ambitious living dead person will not let go, it is indeed a businessman! ”

The fat man complained about family affairs by himself, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The two maids lowered their heads and did not speak, and looked at each other, both feeling a little distressed.

Uncle Feng in the fat man's mouth really had two hits, and in just a quarter of an hour, he gathered the convoy that stretched for more than ten miles in front and back to form a standard circular escort battle.

More than 10,000 men were quickly armed and scattered to various nodes, each with a blade in hand, waiting to kill the enemy.

The most elite two thousand soldiers were gathered and prepared as the first test of the sword to cut through the enemy.

When all preparations were made, the dust and sand in the distance were indeed lifted in the sky, and the large team of people and horses came madly with a strong roar, rolling up the dust in the sky.
