Chapter 303: Unexpected Encounter (3)
As for whether these herdsmen will help him and Tanghis to go against him, Zhiwen only changed his mind slightly, and didn't think about it, maybe there is some possibility for Surut to encourage his herdsmen, but others, Zhiwen doesn't dare to hope for extravagance.
"When Don Keith returns to the sweat tent later, will he still walk this way?" Zhiwen asked, here in the valley, it is not easy to do it in front of many herdsmen, but he can set up an ambush on the way back.
Surut was also quite familiar with the nearby terrain, and replied without too much thought, "There are roads everywhere in the steppe, and you can walk anywhere, but generally the road you take is the nearest one, and I don't think Tangith will take a detour." β
"Okay, Brother Mo Rigen, let's hide the grain cart first, don't let Tang Keith find out, let Brother Tang take care of the four girls, and the others will be led by you, take a detour to ambush on the road, and when Don Keith goes back, hehe..." β
"But Childeβ" Mo Rigen was a little embarrassed, "the terrain in this area is flat, and I'm afraid it's difficult to have any suitable place to set up an ambush." β
Zhiwen thought about it, "Let Umuge find a place, but it really can't work, so I can only put the horse in the grass and lie on the grass." β
In early summer, the weeds grow so high and dense that they can barely hide the horses, which is also a choice in desperation, but when they rush out, they will be delayed for a while.
As he spoke, several people had already mounted their horses and headed in the direction of the grain cart.
"No opinion, no opinion, what about me? Son. Surut asked.
"You?" Zhiwen was a little hesitant in his heart, although according to Surut himself, he didn't have to come forward to ambush Tanghis's guards, but Zhiwen still hoped that he would rush back as soon as possible and prepare for the tribal assembly.
In this way, even if Tangith did not fall into the hands of Zhiwen and them, he would be able to convene a tribal assembly before he could react, and rely on the final decision of the shepherds to overpower Tanghis.
It's just that if Don Keith already knew the truth about the exchange of wool for grain, then nine times out of ten, he came here to ask Xingshi for his guilt, and to trouble the herdsmen and his own people, although Zhiwen didn't understand why he only brought so few guards, was he too confident in himself?
And if there is no one like Surut who can break his wrist with Tanghis a little, maybe his simple words can make many herdsmen lose their courage and dare not sell wool anymore, and those who herd sheep for Surut will not be an exception, and even organize people on the spot to search for and attack Zhiwen, and they may collapse, and the good situation will fall apart in an instant.
"You'd better stay." Zhiwen said to Surut, "Be improvised, be careful, let's see what this Tangis-sama is doing here?" β
"By the way, Lord Surut, you can send another confidant back to the tribe and inform you that as soon as Don Keith returns, a tribal assembly will be held, no problem, right?"
"No problem, I'll arrange it."
"Those two packets of medicinal powder, you also send someone back, so that your people can act immediately." Zhiwen reminds.
"Huh? What do Dunkeis's guards have to deal with? Surut felt that as long as he got his hands on Tanghis, then his guards would not be of interest, and he wanted to send someone back to dismiss the borrowed soldiers and horses.
Zhiwen nodded, "A three-pronged approach is appropriate." β
......
"Yo, Lord Tanghis, I haven't seen you in a few days, so I don't know what you're doing here?"
Dunkeith led the guards, saw more and more people, knew that the place had arrived, and as soon as he stopped his horse, one of his most annoying men, Surut, appeared in front of him, with a big smile on his face, and greeted him with a look of concern.
With a cold snort, Tangith ignored Surut, waved his right hand, and the guards behind him rode out, crossed Tangis, and scattered, leaving only the money manager alone.
Surut was not angry at Dunguith's indifference, not even a trace of embarrassment, as if he had long been accustomed to it, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and Tangis's indifference at the moment was good news, indicating that he was still ignorant of the fact that the whole tribe was hiding from him and trading wool on a large scale.
Feeling relieved, Surut then asked with a grin, "How is Lord Tanghis's money?" It's a pity, it's really inconvenient for me to have this hand, otherwise, I should have helped one or twenty taels, tsk, my poor big nephew. β
"Thank you so much Lord Surut for your kindness." Tangith knew that he couldn't hide it from these people, and if he didn't answer, Surut didn't know what he would spit out of his mouth, so he had to speak, "But the silver, I don't bother you, I have my own arrangements." β
"As far as I know, Lord Surut has never cared much about trivial matters, so why did you come here to watch people shearing sheep?" It's not that Tangith suspects that Surut has something to do, but this guy has always talked a lot, and the best way to deal with him is to ask him speechless.
"Lord Tanghis gathers people, and those who are interested should hurry up!"
"Lord Tanghis......"
Surut was about to answer, when the guards of Tanghis, who had been scattered among the herdsmen, suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting the words that had already poured into his mouth.
It turned out that Tanghis came here to recruit people, and Surut, who was face to face with Tanghis, understood.
Looking at the appearance of him and the guards, he should have just returned to the tribe, and before he could take a breath, he rushed here, and the "own arrangement" that Tangith just said means that he did not get the silver from the right banner, since he did not know the matter of wool in the tribe, but he was so anxious to recruit manpower, it must not be to deal with internal dissidents, but against his current external enemy, the bandits who kidnapped Manduratu.
Understanding the purpose of Don Keith's coming here, Surut made up his mind, and waited for a while to take down all his guards in the tribe and take away his soldiers, even if some people could be summoned here, it would not be too many, and compared with the guards who had followed him for many years, it would definitely not be so useful, and the tribal assembly at night would take his power again, hehe, then hehe...
"When I go out hunting, I just pass by here by chance." Surut said with a smile, anyway, the bow and arrow are carried with him, and he can't wear them anyway.
"But it was Lord Tanghis who came to my surprise." Sulu deliberately pointed out.
"Oh? Hunting? Tangith asked noncommittally, "I don't know what I hit, can I get long eyes?" β
"Don't be in a hurry, you will know at night, at night, and it will definitely surprise you." There is something in Surut's words.
The ultimate purpose of Tanghis's trip, Surut guessed, and Zhiwen hidden in the crowd was no exception.
