Chapter IX - The Fifth Caravan Missing

After driving the second batch of members of the Wild Wolf Team out of the tavern, Zhang Wu and the others really didn't have the mood to continue drinking, and a few people left the tavern and wandered around the street! Alleyne asked Zhang Wudao, "What kind of army are you?" Those soldiers are good! Zhang Wu smiled: "It's not an army, it's a caravan, but our team is bigger, what about you?" I see that you are good, where is the high level? Alleyne smiled and said, "I am a knight under the city lord!" Mainly responsible for security in the city! I usually come to the tavern to drink and have a good time! After that, he reluctantly glanced back at the bar, and Porcha suddenly put his arm around the shoulder of Alleyne, who was still looking back, and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it!" "That's ......" Alleyne subconsciously agreed, and then suddenly came back to his senses, and his face turned red! The crowd burst out laughing, after laughing! Zhang Wu rubbed his sour cheeks and asked Ellene: "I said, Lord Knight, you are also a little nobleman, how can you be a sheriff!" Leading troops to go out and make military exploits is the road to promotion! Hearing this, Alleyne sighed and replied, "My lord has tried to let me go on the expedition many times, but I have refused!" I'm asking myself to be a sheriff! Manid smiled and quipped, "Yes! How safe it is in town! Ellen argued: "It's not a matter of safety and danger, and I'm not afraid of sacrifice......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Polcha's yin and yang weirdness: "That is, the knight is not afraid of sacrifice, but he is afraid of sacrifice and can't go to the tavern to drink anymore!" Aren's face flushed, "No, I don't want to go to war because I like ...... I love ...... I ......" The knight, who was a little shy, found that he was being bypassed, so he simply closed his mouth and stopped arguing, Zhang Wu glared at Porcha and Manid, turned his head to Ellen and said: "Look at your courage to do this, not like a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, talk about it!" Alleyne sighed and said, "As a knight, it is my duty to uphold justice, and my sword is only to eradicate evil!" Disdain to kill innocents for the sake of military merit, nowadays, which war is really fighting for justice? It's nothing more than oppression and aggression, and I'd rather my sword rust than let it stain innocent blood! "Good!" Zhang Wu and the others praised in unison, "Then may I ask the knight, what is justice?" Zhang Wu said, Alleyne thought for a moment and replied: "Punish the evil and promote the good, hoe the strong and help the weak!" "Hehe, what about going big? For example, saving people from suffering! Does it count? "Of course!" Alleyne replied in the affirmative! "That's good.

Alleyne frowned, stared at Zhang Wu and asked, "Who are you?" "Merchant!" Zhang Wu said with a smile, and Ellen also smiled, "Don't say this, others will arrest you as a rebel when they hear it!" "What about you!" "Me? I didn't hear it! Well, it's not too early, I'm going back! "Good, goodbye knight!" Zhang Wu replied

Alleyne took two steps, thought for a moment, and then turned around and asked, "Then according to your opinion, brother, what is justice?" Zhang Wuyi replied rhetorically: "Justice, fairness, equality!" "Taught, but ...... Hehe, it's so hard to do! No one has that much power! Alleyne nodded, shook his head again, and said! Zhang Wu laughed: "Everyone paddles and drives a big boat!" "What ship?" "Nothing! I said that the more people there are, the more power there is! "Makes sense, hehe, let's go, goodbye!" "Please ......"

Pol looked at Alleyne in the distance, frowned, and said, "Boss, he's a knight, and he's a nobleman. Zhang Wu nodded and said: "I know, but he has justice in his heart, as long as there is this premise, whether it is a nobleman or a slave, it is a force that we can unite with." Resarit said, "This is a master, boss!" "How is it better than you?" Zhang Wu asked Resarit for a while and said, "Look at the cocoon in the tiger's mouth, the kung fu is on par with me!" Porcha pouted and said, "Ten years from now?" You're only in your early twenties, what about you, old man. "Get out of ......," Resarit laughed and scolded!

It was almost evening, and the last caravan had not yet arrived, Zhang Wu and the others felt a little uneasy, but they didn't think too much about it, after all, it was normal to delay for a day and a half, and the night had passed! Half a day passed, and before it arrived, a few people couldn't sit still, so they sent people to wait outside the city gate! I waited until dark, and I still didn't see the caravan! A few people combined, eighty percent of them had an accident! At dawn the next day, as soon as the city gate was opened, Porcha and the two men rode out of the city on fast horses, and followed the agreed route to find it! Zhang Wu and the others continued to wait anxiously! It wasn't until the evening that the three of them returned, with a yellow dog in Porcha's arms! It's Wangcai! Wangcai set off with the last team, originally Zhang Wu wanted to take it with him when he left, but he refused to leave, and Polcha also wanted to take it with him when he left, but he refused to do so, and he kept guarding the whole Kugit roast sheep that Porcha bought for him and refused to move the nest! If you want to bring it with you, it won't let anyone move! I'll have to wait for it to finish eating and go with the last pair! Zhang Wu and the others saw Porcha coming back with Wangcai in his arms, and hurriedly greeted him! Manid took Wangcai, the tears of pain were about to fall, Zhang Wu's eyes were sour, only to see that Wangcai's head was smashed open by some blunt object, his head was full of blood, and there was an arrow wound on his body, the shaft of the arrow had been cut off by a sharp blade, and the arrow was still inserted in his body, Wangcai's eyes were gloomy, and he kept whimpering in Manid's arms! After Porcha handed over the wealth to Manid, the horse did not get off, pulled the reins and ran to the infirmary, but when he arrived at the infirmary, the doctor still held the shelf and refused to come! What to say to treat a dog is degrading to the identity, and he is not a veterinarian! Polcha grabbed a handful of dinars and threw it on the table, the doctor's eyes lit up, and he was wondering if he would make it difficult for this kid again, and whether he would pay more, impatiently Polcha took out the dagger that was almost as long as a short knife from his waist, and threw his hand on the table in front of the doctor, "Choose yourself!" Porcha said angrily, and the doctor obediently picked up the medicine box and trotted over! Wangcai was washed off the blood on his face, the wound on his head was wrapped in white gauze by the doctor, the wound on his body was too big, and the wound left by the triangular arrow cluster was not easy to heal! After the doctor gave a few stitches, ate something and drank some water, Wangcai's spirit improved a lot! After resting for a while, he ran off the ground, seeing that Wangcai couldn't die, Polcha let out a sigh of relief, and scolded him to go back and lie on his stomach and not move, Polcha and Zhang Wu, Manid, Resarit and a few of their old team members came to the back room and sat down!

"All dead, not a single one left! The goods are gone, and there is not a single wool left! Porcha gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me in detail" Zhang Wu frowned, and Porcha sighed, "The corpses are all there, a lot!" It's so miserable, looking at the scene of an ambush, more than eighty percent of the brothers were killed by random arrows! Some of them were shot into hedgehogs with seven or eight arrows in their bodies! Hey......" Porcha sighed again, "where!" "North of Fort Sagicher! On the border between Kugit and Vikia! "Long arrow or short arrow?" (The Kujits rode their bows with short arrows, in order to be flexible and fast!) And the Wikibians all use longbows and arrows, and the pursuit is powerful and penetrating! Therefore, Zhang Wu asked) "It's all long arrows, I don't think it's a ringing horse!" "You didn't find a big horseshoe print, did you?" "No, it's all small hoof prints, it should be our pack horse!" Zhang Wu pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the snow robbers of the Wikiians can't be wrong!" When did it happen? "It must have been about three to four days ago! Judging from both the distance and the corpse, it's about the same! Wangcai also picked up a life! When I found it, it crawled out of the ground for four or five miles, hiding in a pile of dead grass, and I think it was the robbers who saw that it had been hit by an arrow, and thought that a dog didn't matter, so they didn't bother to mend the knife, and smashed it with their hands! The dog's life is great, it slowed down, fortunately before setting off to eat a whole sheep, the body is not empty, otherwise it will be killed if it has not eaten or drunk in the past few days! Not to mention wounded! ”

"What about the boss?" Resarit asked, Zhang Wu didn't speak, he felt that it was difficult to do, it was necessary to investigate, but it was not easy to start, it had been delayed for so many days, how to start? And there's no other clue to be found! Manid saw Zhang Wu frowning and was silent, and said, "Boss, I have a solution, which is to be troublesome!" And it's not guaranteed to be 100%! But if there's no better way! I can only give it a try! "How?" Zhang Wuyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Go to the market!" Find our goods, as long as you find the goods, and then slowly pour back to the source! Maybe we'll find some clues! Manid replied, "That's not a good idea!" Resarit shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether people sell stolen goods in the warehouse!" Taking a step back, even here, there are several markets, do you know where they are? Take a hundred steps back, even if we know which one! There are thousands of shelves of sheepskins in the market, how can you find your dozen or so, and then take 10,000 steps back to say, I really found it for you, how can you prove that it is yours? If there is no evidence, will people admit it? Manid smiled slightly: "It is impossible for the goods to go to Kulau, the robbers have intercepted things, and if there is a town nearby, he can't go to other towns to sell the stolen goods, right?" As for which market, you don't need to go to the big one, just find the smallest, the least crowded market, because the wrong thing comes from! For the sake of safety, those robbers would rather sell for less money than let the goods see more people, as for the goods from the market! I can't! But......" Manid looked at Wangcai, who had snuck into the back room, and the only special survivor of the fifth team, said, "In this regard, it should be better than all of us!" ”。“ If you find it, can you have a way to prove that it's our goods? Porcha asked, picking up Wangcai and straightening the bandage on his head. I can! Manid said categorically: "I personally purchased every shelf, and I know exactly which shelf is what kind of goods, and how many skins there are, and ...... Every shelf, there's a mark! As long as I find it, I can be sure and prove that it is our goods! Zhang Wu thought about it, and there was really no other better way, so he said: "Just do it!" The robbers are carrying goods, and they can't walk fast, calculate the time, our goods will be in the city for almost two days! Send a few people to squat near the city gate and see if there is a suspicious horse team entering the city! Others go to the market! If you find something suspicious or like, let Wangcai and Xiaoma identify it, pay attention to it, check it secretly, the movement is too big, it will startle the snake! "The people got up and took the command!

Zhang Wu and Resarit took a few people, slowly turning in a market, this is a job that can not be anxious, turned for two hours, the whole market was turned, still did not find anything suspicious, the two were discussing whether to change the market and then go around, a horseman who had joined from the formation of the caravan in Salander hurriedly came, the horseman walked to Zhang Wu, and said in a low voice: "Boss, a few of our brothers found a batch of goods, it looks like ours, in the market over there, we quickly sent a few people to report the news!" Come and have a look! Zhang Wu perked up and asked, "Did you go and inform Manid about them?" "Someone went! Rush over there, brothers! Go for it, too! "Okay, lead the way!" "Yes!" The group hurried away!

When he came to the market that his subordinates mentioned, Zhang Wu found that there were already a lot of his own people around, wandering around, chatting, sitting and chatting, and all of them, but everyone was secretly paying attention to Porcha and Manid, who had arrived one step earlier, and the two of them were talking to a fat merchant at this moment, and there were eighteen or nineteen shelves for pack horses and goods next to them! The shelves were full of sheepskins, and there were a few horsemen leading the horses next to them, guarding about twenty horses! Wangcai was lying on a shelf, refusing to move his nest, and his eyes were very strange! Zhang Wu and Resarit walked over slowly, and a few of his subordinates behind them dispersed as soon as they entered the market, and when they saw the two approaching, Polcha beckoned to them and shouted: "Boss, come on, these dozen skins are good, you come to the eyes, and secretly squeeze those little eyes!" Zhang Wu agreed, walked closer and pretended to look at it, and reached out to touch it again! Then he said, "O Kujitpi! Good stuff! Let's talk about the price! "Hey!" Manid said yes and then took his right hand with the fat merchant's left hand and covered it with a piece of cloth! Then the two of them nodded and shook their heads! After a long time, Manid said, "So, let's do it?" "All right," the merchant agreed with a grin! When Polcha saw that the two had finished talking, he said, "Horse! You have to say it, do we have enough horses? I feel hanging! Resarit immediately opened his mouth to help: "It's definitely not enough, we don't have a lot of superfluous!" "Oh! Yes! Or boss, let's add money, add more, you sell us a few horse racks, we are in a hurry to get on the road, it's too late to make it now, you have to use you to do it again! Polcha turned back and said to the fat merchant, who was full of promise when he heard this, but Manid frowned and said, "It's not that I didn't think about it, but I don't think he's a strong horse!" If I buy him, I'll have to take a good look! With that, Manid looked at the pack horse shelves one by one, and reached out to touch the inside of the shelves! The fat merchant is a little confused! He asked, "I said, brother, what are you touching in there?" Manid ignored him! Stood up and nodded at Zhang Wu! Seeing him nodding, Zhang Wu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Since that's the case, then tie me up!" Resarit and Porcha stepped forward, grabbed one of the fat merchant's wrists, and twisted him behind him, and Resarit raised his foot and kicked him in the socket of the leg, kicking him to his knees at once! One of his men took the rope and tied him in a strong knot! The dozen or so grooms next to him quit, and when they saw the boss being tied up, they all stood up, and before they could speak, Zhang Wu waved his hand, and a large group of people immediately rushed out of the lively crowd, and pressed them all together!
