Yang Yuanzhao didn't know why, he was stunned there, but the caravan behind him was like a drop of water in the boiling oil, no matter what he was doing, resting, or eating, he acted quickly, especially the swordsmen of the Yang family's caravan, they usually looked like they were hanging, but at this time, it was obvious that Su zhì was revealed, almost at the moment when Yang Shun spoke, everyone was on guard.

The carriage of the convoy, also under the guidance of the coachman, began to act, although the action was not large, just a few adjustments, dozens of carriages, combined into a fixed defense, with the carriage as the center, forming an overall defense, even the coachmen, also took up arms.

After this qiē was done, it was a quiet wait, and after about 5 minutes, Yang Yuanzhao heard the sound of huge horses' hooves, and in the south, at least more than 30 horses were galloping.

This is Yang Shunfa's ability, from the slight vibration of the earth, to judge whether someone is approaching, let them have time to react in advance, the Northwest Wasteland, the most is the horse gang, it is precisely because of the appearance of the horse gang, this has attracted a large number of horse bandits, at this time, the galloping horse team, the probability of horse bandits is very high.

Yang Yuanzhao had already entered the core area of the carriage under Yang Shunfa's order, and Yang Yue also had a solemn expression, this way can be said to be the Yang family's sphere of influence, but there are so many horse bandits that they can't be guarded against.

Soon, a touch of red appeared, there were almost 30 horse bandits, most of them were wearing red jackets, Yang Yue said in a gloomy voice: "It's a line of red!" ”

A line of red, active in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia generation of horse bandits, the leader is the red harrier Zitong Shan, is a murderous bandit who does not blink an eye, and the government's reward seems to have reached 2,000 taels.

"It's not this team, it seems to be a squad with a cannon head!" Yang Shunfa whispered, Yang Yuanzhao was slightly surprised, the horse bandits were two miles away, so far away, they could see so clearly.

The horse bandits gradually approached, seemed to have found the caravan, showing a semi-encircled state of surrounding, seemed to see the banner of the Yang family, paused, but still surrounded, the two sides began to confront, the horse bandits are not a gun per person, there are almost seven or eight guns, including ** and bird guns, the rest, with bows and arrows, big knives, and even burning sticks, but the equestrian skills are exquisite, at least, all the way, maintain a relatively neat formation.

Anyone knows that these people have bad intentions, some young swordsmen, they seem to be a little nervous, the expressions on their faces are tight, but they are some old qualifications, they have a relaxed face, and the guns in their hands are always their best partners.

Among the horse bandits, a particularly stout, red-line cannon head Yan Lao Jiu, gloomy looking ahead, he was ordered to loot near Datong, not much gain, when returning, only to meet this caravan, but after getting closer, I found that it was actually the Yang family's caravan, in the northwest, the horse bandits rarely have direct conflicts with the big family, the reason is that the big family's heritage is really deep, not to mention the relationship between the government and the government, but the caravan guards themselves, are a huge strength, look qualified, only thirty or forty swordsmen, But in the hands of the swordsmen, everyone has foreign guns.

This is not a good thing, he clearly saw that there are at least 20 experienced swordsmen, even if he brings 30 people to attack, he may not be able to break through the opponent's defenses.

The battle situation seems to be on the verge of breaking out, but when the horse bandit stopped 200 meters away, Yang Shunfa also pushed away the knife next to him and walked out, several old qualifications knew it in their hearts, but some young people were puzzled, Yang Shunfa didn't care about others, until he walked to a place 50 meters away from the horse bandits, and then stopped, at this time, at least seven or eight guns were aimed directly at him, he opened his hands to show that there was no weapon in his hand, and said loudly: "Under Yang Shunfa!" ”

"It turned out to be Yang Wuye!" Yan Laojiu arched his hand and said, "I am Yan Laojiu!" ”

Yan Lao Jiu, Yang Shunfa's eyes were blank, but he didn't make any expression, and said: "Our Yang family came according to the rules, I don't know why Yan Jiu Ye is blocking the way?" ”

"Rules?" A middle-aged man in a white-faced silk dress next to him said something in Yan Laojiu's ear, and Yan Laojiu showed a smile on his face and said, "Since it is according to the rules, it is so offended!" ”

After speaking, Yan Laojiu gave an order, and all the horse bandits began to turn around, and the speed of the horses continued to increase, and soon, the horse gangs disappeared into the wilderness.

Yang Yue's expression relaxed a little, and said to Yang Yuanzhao: "That middle-aged man in silk clothes should be Wu Duo, a red-hearted calligrapher!" ”

"What are the rules?"

"The rules are to buy the road money!"

Yang Yuanzhao's face changed slightly, he didn't continue to ask the question of how much money was to buy the road, he traveled to Baotou, met Yang Yue, and cooperated with three of the four big families to jointly establish the Baoken company, it seems that one qiē and one qiē have entered the formality, making him forget the cruelty of the real history, as if this is just a simple construction game, he just needs to keep building and climbing the tree of science and technology, but the appearance of a line of red makes him understand that this is a cruel and chaotic late Qing Dynasty, Even the Yang family of the four major families, in the face of the murderous horse bandits, can only use the money to buy the road, you know, later scholars according to the history of the Republic of China, the total number of bandits in the Republic of China is as high as more than 20 million, how many people are in the Republic of China, an average of 20 people, one is a bandit, no wonder China has been chaotic for so long.

This matter, just like a small wave, did not have any reaction in the caravan, Yang Shunfa only lifted his guard after being on guard for more than half an hour, and it was normal for the horse bandits to be untrustworthy, but when their strength was superior, they would not attack rashly.

The carriage continues to drive, the road that needs to be walked today, slightly a little longer, from Suiyuan to Datong, dozens of kilometers more than yesterday, because of what happened at noon, delayed for more than an hour, there was no too much stay in the middle, it was already late at night to Datong, the boat and car were tired, Yang Yuanzhao did not have the idea of visiting Datong, Datong is famous for business, but Yang Yuanzhao was most impressed, or Jin Yong Lu Ding Ji on the Datong sister.

The arrival of the horse team, breaking the tranquility of the night of Datong, this is the status quo of China, even if it is Datong, a major trading town, after 9 o'clock, there are not many shops to open, fortunately, the Yang family is strong in the northwest, there are branches in each place, it has been arranged a long time ago, the masters went all the way down the road, came to a huge courtyard in front of it, drove the car, entered the courtyard of the road, and stayed down in the way, without much delay.

Lying in bed, no matter what, I can't sleep, today's experience is really amazing, maybe for the swordsmen, it's just an ordinary experience that countless people have experienced, but for Yang Yuanzhao who came in the era of peace, this is indeed a bloody experience, battles and conflicts did not arise, but behind the blandness, there are countless corpses, traffic is a bottleneck that restricts business development, many of Yang Yuanzhao's ideas before, more are based on convenient transportation, he is thinking about how to improve the traffic environment in Baotou, But today's events made him feel another threat, bandits, even if they built a good trade road, because of the appearance of bandits, every qiē needs to start from scratch, that is, at this time, the idea of mastering the gun appeared in Yang Yuanzhao's heart.

A force that is controlled by him can protect him in this troubled world, with wealth and the power to build an industrial base, but unfortunately, now he does not have this ability, establishing him does not mean that he is no longer ready, before the committee that made zuò because of curiosity in 1888, Yang Yuanzhao continued to start making zuò, by the way, let the guys buy more jujube wood in Datong.

After a night's rest, except for Yang Yuanzhao who bought more than a dozen square meters of jujube wood, nothing else happened, on the third day, continue on the road, after Datong, the scene of the Loess Plateau, it seems to have changed slightly, the surrounding mountains, there is a trace of greenery, I don't know if it is an illusion or something, Yang Yuanzhao felt that the distance seemed to have accelerated a lot, and it was strange, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and Yang Yue flashed in.
