The princes that Lu Tong said are clear. But isn't it that he hasn't entered the territory of Daqin yet? If something happened and his caravan had not yet entered the territory of Great Qin, who could guarantee that the Great Qin soldiers in the White Tiger Army outpost fifty miles away would definitely come out of the outpost to rescue these merchants even if they received a distress message from themselves and others?
After all, this is not in the territory of Great Qin, is it?
"Alas, having said that, in the past few years, when have my Great Qin merchants entered the country of Jiezhi and the country of Fanyana, have they not been exploited by those alien races? This time, the caravan left the country of Fanyana, and the old man was really a little uneasy because he wanted the caravan to arrive in Shache City before Chinese New Year's Eve, and he did not have time to present a congratulatory ceremony to the general of the country of Fanyana.
I thought that I would be able to enter the territory of my Great Qin today, but no matter how bold the general of the Fanyana Kingdom was, he would not dare to lead the army into the territory of my Great Qin, wouldn't he? I thought that the caravan would return to the old man after the year to present double gifts, but I never thought that I would be stopped here by this blizzard. β
The prince was not relieved by Lu Tong's comfort. Before the caravan left the city of Fanyana, the strange smile on the face of the gatekeeper really made him feel at ease.
These caravans are okay in the territory of Daqin, as long as they pay the taxes that should be paid, at least no one dares to blatantly exploit them, right? Although the commercial tax is very high, it is really nothing compared to the profits from this trade.
However, after entering the Brahmana Kingdom, without the Brahmana Kingdom where the Light of the Great Qin Holy Son of Heaven shines, the exploitation and hostility of the Great Qin merchants will not be at all.
The people of the Brahmana country stared at every Great Qin merchant who came to trade with a hostile look, and a little exploitation was commonplace. Even if it is a small official at the city gate, these merchants must be treated carefully, after all, they are in other lands, even the caravans of those noble families in Xianyang City who can call the wind and rain are all to be people with their tails between them.
Not to mention that he is an ordinary businessman who has no power in Great Qin at all.
So. Since leaving the city of Fanyana, the prince has never been at peace in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the time is really too tight, and there are too many goods, he can't wait to immediately turn back and present He Yi to the general of Fanyana.
Seeing that he is about to enter the territory of Great Qin today, then it is completely safe. But who would have thought that the sky suddenly changed from the morning, and a snowstorm came. His caravan was temporarily trapped on this snowfield only fifty miles away from the Daqin border outpost fortress.
Just one kick at the door, Wang Gongxin didn't know why he was even more worried at the moment.
Because, this way the caravan is too quiet. It's quiet and eerie. This is not at all in line with the temperament of the generals and officials of the Brahmana kingdom who are extremely greedy.
"The prince was too worried. Those dogs of the Brahmana country are greedy, but how dare the little Brahmana country rob my Great Qin Tiger Beard? As long as fireworks are released here, my Great Qin White Tiger Army will arrive in an instant.
Besides, we are still in a hurry, and in this snowstorm, it is not so easy for the people of Fanyan to keep up with us. The blizzard didn't last long. If you want to come to tomorrow, you can stop. When the time comes, let the guys go faster, and the prince can rest assured after passing the holy mountain pass. β
Lu Tong heard the words of the prince, his expression was a little solemn, and he comforted him. But he wasn't too worried. After all, the caravan also has nearly 30 guards, and as long as there are not too many people, ordinary robbers still can't do anything about the caravan. As long as you can hold on to the Holy Mountain Pass, even if the army of the Brahmana Kingdom pours in, what will you be able to do with yourself?
When the prince heard Lu Tong's words, his mouth opened a few times, and he looked at the sky outside the pit that was gradually darkening, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
The weather in the Kunlun Snow Field is really the same as a baby's face. Cry when you say you cry, laugh when you laugh. The blizzard did not last long, and by the time it got dark, it was much smaller, and by 10 midnight it had completely stopped. Countless stars appeared in the dark sky.
Lu Tong, who came out of the pit, found it for the first time. It turns out that the stars in the sky can be so close to themselves and others. It seems to be hanging on the top of the majestic Kunlun Mountain.
Although they have been to this snowy plateau several times, this is the first time that Lu Tong and Wang Gong and other caravans have discovered that there is such a strange scene on the snowfield.
The sky is so close to oneself and others. It seems that the main climb to the majestic Kunlun Mountain can pick the stars in the sky.
"Look, Prince! What is that? β
Suddenly, one of the caravan men suddenly pointed to the end of the pitch-black sky and shouted.
The caravan heard the man's shout and looked back. I saw that in the darkness in the distance, there was a long fire dragon rushing along the snowfield avenue towards the place where he and the others were standing.
"That's ...... Brahmana? The prince suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed.
"Prince, without further ado, whether this is a Brahma person or not, it must be a bad person. Quickly pack up your goods and set off. Lu Tong said in a solemn voice.
"That's right! Right! Pack your things and go! Be quick! β
When the prince heard Lu Tong's words, he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said again and again.
Here, Lu Tong seemed to have discovered the fire dragon of his caravan, and beckoned one of his subordinates to whisper a few words, and then the subordinate disappeared into the vast night.
The caravan was originally stopped because of the wind and snow, but it was so easy to go, and the rebinding of the goods on dozens of plateau horses took two teas, and by the time the caravan set off, it was already possible to hear the noise of people and horses behind it in the distance.
The sound from afar made this quiet night on the snowy plateau suddenly become murderous. The faces of the people in the caravan instantly turned as white as snow, and they desperately drove the horses to speed up.
One side came lightly prepared, and the other side had heavy goods in hand, which were the wealth of the vast majority of the people in the caravan. Once discarded, even if you return to Daqin, you will become a family and even in debt. No one wants to throw away all their possessions like that. Especially these businessmen who are far away from Great Qin and enter foreign countries to do business.
The caravan is accelerating, and the fire dragon behind it is also accelerating, even faster than the caravan by a minute, at most half an hour, the caravan will be overtaken, and panic will begin to spread in the caravan.
"Prince, you take the men first. I led my brothers to stop these Brahmanas. β
Lu Tong looked at the fire dragon that was getting closer and closer behind him, and a ruthless color flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Lu......"
When the prince heard Lu Tong's words, his body couldn't help but be shocked. The pursuers in the rear were at least a few hundred people merely visually. And Lu Tong is full of more than 30 people, and staying will only be a dead end.
"The prince doesn't need to say much, if there is no one to stop these Brahmanas, I am afraid that not a single one of the hundred or ten people in the caravan will be able to escape. What I Lu Tong did was to lick the blood from the knife to make a living, and at this moment the prince was in trouble, and my brother and others should also take people's money and eliminate disasters with others. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to return to my Daqin anymore. Lu is alone, and a few of my brothers still have some family members at home, so they don't have to stay, and they will ask the prince to take care of them in the future! β
Lu Tong interrupted the prince's words, and said solemnly with his fists clenched.
As he spoke, more than thirty big men with weapons silently walked out of the caravan and stood behind Lu Tong.
"Xiao Qi, old man, Scarface ......" Lu Tong nodded six names in a row and said in a deep voice: "A few of you follow the prince first." β
These people are all people with families and children in Lu Tong's group.
"Big brother! β¦β¦β
"When is it, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, let's go! Xiao Wu has already gone to look for the Great Qin White Tiger Army Sentry Fort in the Holy Mountain Pass. If Lao Tzu can't stop you, those Fanyan people will catch up with you before the White Tiger Army arrives, and then the six of you will not be the same as Lao Tzu? Get out! β
Lu Tong roared like thunder.
The prince, the six strong men whose names were named, and a group of people in the caravan silently bowed to Lu Tong and the more than 20 people, turned around and disappeared into the vast darkness.
By the time the people in the caravan had gone away, Lu Tong had been able to light the torches and see the figures chasing behind.
"Sure enough, those greedy Brahmanas!" Looking at the chasing soldiers in ugly armor, Lu Tong snorted coldly, "Pack up all the guys, this is not a desperate effort, as long as you block these miscellaneous pieces, when my Great Qin White Tiger Army arrives, these Fanyan people are just local chickens and dogs!" β
None of the more than 20 people behind Lu Tong spoke, and silently began to pack up the weapons he was carrying. They are already green forest bandits, and life and death have long been downplayed, not to mention that they still take people's money and people to eliminate disasters?
No one can get their hands on the sharp Qin crossbow, of course, even if they can get their hands on it, those of them who are from a reckless background and don't have a very clean foundation don't dare to use it.
According to the regulations of the Great Qin Law, once it is found that the garrisons, guards and servants of various places can be killed directly on the spot, and the criminal responsibility of relatives will also be investigated.
Lu Tong only had ten strong bows in his hand.
It's these ten strong bows that Lu Tong spent a lot of money to get and then assemble them. Usually, it is disassembled into fragments and carried separately, so as to ensure that if you encounter a search when entering the city, you will not be caught. Of course, in the laws of Great Qin, strong bows are not forbidden, and they can only appear in various cities. Finding confiscation is a must.
After all, there are many forests in Daqin nowadays, and there are countless wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, and all kinds of fierce beasts, and the people in many places have to rely on strong bows to hunt. And the strong bow itself is not too difficult to make.
More than 20 people, ten strong bows want to block hundreds of stubborn Fanyana people, if it is daytime, it will definitely be a mantis arm as a car. But it was night, and although the snow on the snowfield was very bright, it was also their best hiding place because of the number of people.
After a while, more than 20 people disappeared into the vast snowfield, and only the messy footprints on the snow told later generations that there had been people here.
