Chapter 409: I Come, I See, I Conquest
The people Shi Lei brought over this time are very different from the trip to the Turks, because the environment in Lingnan is notoriously harsh, not to mention the miasma, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, but the environment over there is very complicated, and the mountains and forests are dense, and many times it makes people a little unguardable. www.biquge.info such a complex and changeable harsh environment requires people who are more familiar with the local area.
Among Shi Lei's subordinates, the first to be selected were not the veterans of the Xuanjia Guard who had been following his father and fighting in the north and south, but the group of people who had joined the Shi family for the shortest time and were also the most inconspicuous in peacetime, those Kunlun slaves who were rescued by Shi Lei from the bandits.
This Kunlun slave, like the Silla maid, is the most fashionable slave on the Chang'an side, and most of the Kunlun slaves are indigenous people from South Asian countries, of course, there are also some African blacks who followed Arab merchants and crossed the ocean from Africa to the Tang Dynasty.
These Kunlun slaves are stocky, honest and honest, and they are also very down-to-earth and diligent in their work, so they are naturally good slave candidates.
It's just that the former is more common, who makes countries like Zhenla are closer to the Tang Dynasty, and even when they come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, they will bring a lot of this kind of local specialties that are famous in the Tang Dynasty to exchange for some exquisite items such as silk rewarded by the Tang Dynasty.
The black slaves from Africa, who were much taller and stronger, and were not easy to traffic, became a straining commodity that only a few powerful people could use. From time to time, the second generation will take those tall Kunlun slave bodyguards to swagger through the streets of Chang'an, because this is definitely a status symbol and a good weapon for coercion.
And these under Shi Lei must be short South Asian Kunlun slaves, as long as you look at them, you will catch up with the height of the Tang Dynasty women. Compared with northern men, their skin color is much darker, and if they only look at their body shape, the deterrent effect must be much worse.
However, the reason why Shi Lei was able to choose them was because of their strengths. These Kunlun slaves are very adaptable and familiar with the climate and environment of Lingnan, because the place where they originally lived and lived for generations is similar to that of Lingnan.
Shi Lei even felt that there might be Lingnan natives among them, after all, when it came to the boundary of Lingnan, people's skin color was not much different from those in Southeast Asian countries.
Who makes it so hot over there, this geographical location determines that their complexion is not very white, and in order to be able to sell it for money, those black-hearted slave traders must not mind creating some unjust, false and wrongful cases.
In addition, these Kunlun slaves are also very strong in water, especially after Shi Lei's transformation and systematic training, they can hold it underwater for five minutes or eight minutes, don't be too easy, and the big feet that don't match the body proportion can send these fish-like guys out of the country with a slight stroke.
If it's just these, it's not enough for Shi Lei to make up his mind to take them with him, the key is that Shi Lei always likes to take precautions, since these Kunlun slaves came to the Shi family, they have never done the work of servants, but followed those special forces instructors to train together in the mountains.
After such a long period of training, I have also made several efforts to expand the career of the Shi family, such as killing the bandit leader who is not very good at dealing with him, killing a guy who has prestige among the mountain people, but is not very obedient to discipline, going down to the river to help his own boat gang, opening up trade routes and other work, I have done a lot of work.
With their skin color, they don't need to wear night clothes in the middle of the night, and they successfully become invisible when they stand naked in the shadows, and it is also very suitable to do such work.
Therefore, now following behind Shi Lei, they look like ordinary Kunlun slaves, and these guys dressed as obedient slaves are actually ruthless people with bloody hands, which is another reason why Shi Lei chose them.
Even if Feng Ang saw these Kunlun slaves, he would take Shi Lei to enjoy them, and when he went on the expedition, he would have to take the appropriate servants to serve, or at most, these people would just be qualified guides, and most of them would not think about the masters of the dead.
This is also Shi Lei's habit, he likes to keep a hand in everything, especially in front of a person like Feng An, he must have reservations.
And Shi Lei once brought to the Turks, the batch of Xuanjiawei who were fighting in the year were obviously not suitable, their reputation was too loud, it was easy to arouse Feng An's vigilance, not to mention, with their ability, they were also more suitable for fighting in the inland and grasslands, and the terrain like the tropical rainforest was not what they were good at.
It's better to let these guys stay at home, and it's better to be responsible for guarding Cheng Chuyue and their thoroughness, just with this deterrent, there will be a lot less harassment at home.
And instead of them, most of them are masters unearthed by the Shi family from the wingmen and mountain people, different from those guards who are more accustomed to team combat, their individual combat ability is stronger, and after the training of special forces, their adaptability to various terrains is also extremely strong.
And most of these people have great water fighting skills, which can be seen from their sidearms, most of them are armor-piercing cones, and sharp weapons such as water-splitting Emei thorns, and many of them are made of magic gold, which can be regarded as the meritorious hands of the Shi family.
Of course, there are many good hands who use bows and arrows, play slingshots, and brush hidden weapons. In the Lingnan environment, this kind of attack method is more effective, and it is more convenient to kill people in the mountains and forests, and the opportunities for Zheng'er Bajing to launch a formation to slash and kill are much less.
However, Shi Lei chose so many subordinates like cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods to come out, and when this team is put there, it is inevitably a little unsightly, tall, short, fat and thin, obscene, squinting, cold, all kinds of guys, definitely not like the majestic team composed of Guanzhong men in that water, it is a bit of a miscellaneous army.
In the whole team, there is only one male bear who looks relatively long, and whoever looks at this person's body must praise a good majestic man.
But if you really underestimate this team, then you should be out of luck, there are not a few masters in this team who can make people desperate. Except for those ordinary guards, who can be called big masters in ordinary people, and even in the army, there are several in the team.
Shi Lei's fate naturally does not need to be mentioned, his current status can be said to be killed by his outstanding art, and he can also fly a bear to play with a kite, not to mention the lethality.
Of course, after studying with Uncle Butler for so long, it is not easy for Shi Lei to hurt the bear again, unless he relies on his strange strength that is not like a human, and he has to use a guy who takes advantage of it.
The two brothers, who have always been close guards around Shi Lei, were also left by Shi Lei by Cheng Chuyue's side, they wanted to fully exert their skills, the heavy armor shield, and the small hand lance, they all had to be dressed neatly. When they arrived in the tropical jungle, this heavy matter would only become a burden for them, so they did not suffer with them.
It was the hunter uncle, who was not very worried about Shi Lei's safety, and asked to be put by his side.
Several other uncles still have to stay in Chang'an, especially Uncle Fan and Uncle Housekeeper, who can help Cheng Chuyue get ideas at critical moments.
And Uncle Blacksmith's ability, when he came to Lingnan, he couldn't give full play to it, so it was better to stay at home and take care of Cheng Chuyue's mother and son.
The hunter uncle is familiar enough with the forest, and he is fine enough, so it is just right to come over and help Shi Lei.
Qi Tianhou, who is a disciple of the hunter uncle, was originally the candidate in Shi Lei's mind, but although his skills are no worse than that of the hunter uncle, his experience is still worse than that of the hunter uncle. Since his master is here, he, as an apprentice, has to honestly keep the house at home.
After all, in the face of possible long-range attacks, it is most appropriate to rely on an archer like him to fight it.
Li Fu and Li Mu didn't come over, but the assassin masters from the same background as Li Fu also brought them over, and these two chamberlains were really responsible for Shi Lei's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they could ensure Shi Lei's safety more comprehensively.
When Shi Lei rushed over and joined Feng Ang's team, his team, which looked crooked and cracked, almost made Feng An's subordinates turn their mouths to the sky, and their disdain was overflowing.
However, Shi Lei and his subordinates didn't care much about this, and this kind of contempt was exactly what Shi Lei wanted.
On the contrary, they are full of yearning for this trip, a primitive unknown world for them, waiting for them to conquer. (To be continued.) )
