The development of things is a bit unexpected, Qin Dong didn't expect that more and more forces would be involved because of this batch of goods, this batch of goods is indeed a good thing, plus Gebuus's batch of goods together is worth more than a hundred gold pounds, which is also the reason why it can attract so many forces to peep, these mercenaries who have been in the mercenary world and adventure career for a long time are very well-informed, maybe Gebuus's caravan has their eyes and ears, or there are their eyes and ears in Dirmit City, This news was learned by Qin Dong when they had just arrived in Dimeter City.

Qin Dong believed that as long as he showed the signboard of the Huns, no Jianghu forces would dare to fight this batch of goods, but this would cause the official forces of the Eastern Roman Empire to be highly vigilant, and they would even send a large army to encircle and suppress it, which was not what Qin Dong was willing to see, so this matter could only be resolved within the Jianghu forces, and could not lead the power of the Eastern Roman Empire out. The contradiction has arisen again, if you want to get back the goods, you must have a conflict with Pedro, and even have to completely annihilate Pedro and his soldiers and horses, and kill Pedro and his soldiers and horses, which will definitely attract the attention of the Eastern Roman Empire officials, and the official will definitely send people to investigate the loss of tax silver, so Qin Dong said that he would let other forces do it first, and let other forces fight with Pedro, and after those forces with the idea of tax money and goods eliminated Pedro and his soldiers and horses, Qin Dong brought people out to grab the goods, In this way, even if the official forces send people to investigate, they will definitely find out about those forces first, and by the time it is found out that it is Qin Donggan, it is estimated that more than half a year has passed.

After announcing an afternoon of rest, several of the leading centurions and centurions had just retired. Qin Dong saw the ten-captain in charge of security guard walk in and salute and report: "My lord, my subordinates have found a person sneaking around our camp during the guard, and my subordinates have already sent someone to arrest him. According to his confession, his name is Harpy, and he belongs to a person called the Sun Mercenary Group, and his identity is the spy of the Sun Mercenary Group distributed in Edine. I don't know what the adults are going to do with him? ”

After listening to the report, Qin Dong's heart moved, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Bring him in!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The ten-captain agreed. Turn around and shout outside, "Bring him in!" ”

Soon two Hun soldiers walked in with a very thin, but very clever person, this person's eyes were purring, and since he was escorted in, he kept looking at Qin Dong and the surrounding situation. Qin Dong didn't speak. All the time staring at this eccentric person.

"Respected Hun King, the villain's name is Harpy, is a person who stutters by inquiring about news, and now he is following the Sun Mercenary Group to ask for a living, the villain has no malice, please see that the villain has an old mother, and there is a child under the villain, let the villain have a way to live, the villain will never forget the kindness of the adult!"

Look at the man who speaks and acts. Qin Dong knew that this person had been mixing in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they had all become old fritters. Seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense, Qin Dong picked up the wine glass and took a sip and asked, "Your name is Harpy?" ”

"Yes, my lord, you heard it right!" Harpy said quickly.

Qin Dong asked again: "How do you know that we are Huns?" ”

Harpy didn't think about it and said: "My lord, except for the Huns, there are no people of other races who have such a noble appearance as you, and the royal families of the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire are not noble in your blood, and the villain will know it at a glance!" ”

This guy's sycophancy is simply at his fingertips, it is estimated that if he is allowed to play freely, he will be able to speak wildly, Qin Dong immediately interrupted him: "That's not necessarily, okay, let's put this question aside for the time being, you said that your name is Harpy, you are a member of the Sun Mercenary Group, and you also have an old mother and a child, how does this king know that what you say is true?" Unless you tell where your family lives, what relatives you have in your family besides your mother and children, how many people are in the Sun Mercenary Group, and what is the specific situation inside, only in this way can I believe you, otherwise you are lying, this king has always hated liars, for such people, this king generally peels his skin first, and then puts it in an oil pan to fry it, first deep-frying the calf, but it is a little painful, but it will not die, let him watch his calf being fried, and then cut off and feed the wolf, and then fry the thigh and arm, let him watch his body being eaten by wolves little by little......".

As Qin Dong kept talking, a guy like Harpy, who was full of old fritters, was so frightened by the scene described by Qin Dong that his face turned pale, he was sweating profusely, and his crotch was already full of urine, and he knelt on the ground and cried as soon as his knees were weak: "King, please don't say it, please, I say, I'll say anything!" ”

After some intimidation, the guy Harpy even vomited out of what color underwear his mother was wearing, his home was in the city, except for an old mother, but there was no three-year-old child at home, Qin Dong immediately sent someone to investigate in the city to see if what this guy said was true, Harpy saw that Qin Dong really sent someone to investigate, and secretly congratulated himself that he told the truth, if the lie was found out, it is estimated that the king in front of him is likely to really fry him.

It didn't take long for the person sent to investigate to come back and confirm that what Harpy said was true, Qin Dong relieved his suspicions, he asked someone to bring a bag of silver coins and pour it on the table, and Harpy's eyes immediately straightened when he saw those silver coins.

Qin Dong played with a pile of silver coins on the table, and said: "Harpy, this king knows that you are a very filial child, this king admires people like you, and he doesn't want to use your wife to threaten you to make you do things for this king, this is not what an upright person should do, you just said that the Sun Mercenary Group will set off tonight to join forces with the Rhodope Mercenary Group to rob the army that escorts taxes, silver, and goods, and this king wants you to follow them and report their movements to this king at any time, there is some money here, As long as you promise to do things for the king, you can take them, they are all yours, and this is only a part, and when the matter is over, the king will have a rich bounty, enough for you to build a big house and buy a lot of good land! Are you willing to do things for the king? ”

As soon as Qin Dong's words were finished, the harpy couldn't wait to answer: "Yes." Yes, king, a hundred villains are willing. The villain has never seen a man so generous as you, and you are ten thousand times nobler than those evil nobles! ”

Harpy was bought like this, he was let back, Qin Dong was not worried at all that this guy took the money and ran away, he had promised to have more money to pay afterwards, how could a person like Harpy, who loves money like his life, give up such a large sum of money?

For ease of contact. Qin Dong also worked out contact information with him and sent someone to contact him, and after Harpy returned, he managed to blend in with the team of mercenaries who were robbing. In the evening, he sent a message that he had reported the meeting place of the Sun Mercenary Regiment, and set off after the meeting place, as to where he would meet the Rhodope Mercenary Regiment.

Had dinner. Qin Dong rushed to the meeting place of the Sun Mercenary Group with his men and horses. The people of the Sun Mercenary Group had already left and headed towards the meeting place with Rhodobi, and after checking it, his guards quickly found the secret mark left by Harpy, which marked the direction of the Sun Mercenary Group's advance, and Qin Dong immediately led his troops to follow in the direction guided by the secret mark.

Harpy followed the Sun Mercenary Regiment all the way to the middle of the night, only to feel that the bones of his whole body were so tired that they were about to fall apart, and he scolded in his heart that this was not a human job, remembering that he had mixed well in Edine City. Now he came to this barren mountain to feed mosquitoes for money, and when he thought of the money promised by Qin Dong, the king of the Huns. Harpy seems to have the strength again, leaving a secret mark at a fork in the road when people are not looking.

The rest of the Sun Mercenary Group also complained, and it was really uncomfortable to rush in the middle of the night, but the weather was too hot to rush in the daytime, and in comparison, it was cooler to rush at night.

In this way, Harpy followed the others all night, and finally arrived at their destination at dawn, when they were tired to death, because the whole team stopped, and the leaders of the mercenary group shouted loudly for everyone to rest, drink water when they should drink, sleep when they should sleep, and when it was time to fight, someone would wake them up.

At this time, the other mercenaries had already laid down and slept in the grass on the side of the road, but Harpy was not sleepy, he was full of energy, and the high-ranking figures of the Sun Mercenary Group contacted the head of the Rhodope Mercenary Group, and began to plan an ambush to escort the army, which was the issue that Harpy was most concerned about, because it involved whether he could get some other money promised by Qin Dong.

While Herram, the leader of the Sun Mercenary Regiment, and Putistes, the leader of the Rhodope Mercenary Regiment, were discussing the ambush, Harpy used his thin stature and the pre-dawn darkness to sneak into the vicinity, and he pretended to curl up in the grass to sleep, but pricked up his ears to hear the conversation between Herram and Putistes clearly.

Herram and Ptistes discussed for more than half an hour before finally finalizing it, and at this time, the sky was gradually turning white, and it was almost dawn, and Harpy knew that he should go, and he would definitely be recognized if he stayed any longer, so he slowly squirmed his thin body and left the place.

After blending in with the group of mercenaries, Harpy got up with his pants and ran into the bushes in a hurry, others thought he was in a hurry, but they didn't care, but in fact, he slipped away after getting into the bushes.

Harpy, who had been walking for a few minutes, was suddenly dragged into the grass by someone covering his mouth on the side of the road, "Shhhh ”

Although Harpy's mouth was covered, his eyes could see it, and he could vaguely see that the person who came was the contact person sent to him by Qin Dong, and after the person let go of his hand, he whispered: "I'm scared to death, can you not be so elusive, it will scare people to death!" ”

The man spread his hands and said, "No way, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered, okay, how is the situation?" Do you have any news that you don't have? How are they going to do it? ”

Harpy looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was there, he whispered: "They are going to be divided into two parts, one part is ambushed on the cliff wall on the left, the road under the cliff wall is about twenty meters high at the top of the cliff wall, this part of the people will throw stones from the top of the cliff wall after the escort army appears, these people are in the minority, and the other part of the majority of people are ambushed in the woods on the right, and after the stones on the cliff wall on the left are smashed, they will immediately rush out of the woods and cut down the sergeants who escort taxes, silver and goods, until they are eliminated or scattered!" ”

After hearing this, the man thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't these two mercenary groups afraid of being recognized?" ”

Harpy pouted: "Of course you can't be recognized, before you start to do it, the head of the mercenary group will order the mercenaries to cover their faces, and they are not allowed to take off the masked cloth until they succeed and take away the tax money and goods far away!" ”

"Did they discuss whether they would divide the spoils on the spot after they had grabbed the tax money and goods, or would they divide the spoils after they left and returned to the lair?"

Harpy said: "It must be to divide the spoils on the spot, and after the spoils are divided, each will go its own way, after all, the Sun Mercenary Group is stationed in the north, and the Rhodope Mercenary Group is stationed in the south, and the direction is different, so they can't go the same way at all!" ”

The man nodded and said, "Okay, I know the situation, you go back first, if there is any emergency, come here to report, I will wait nearby, you go first, don't be discovered!" ”

"Got it!" Harpy turned around and left, but was stopped by the man, who took out a handful of silver coins from his arms and stuffed them into Harpy's hand and said, "This is what our king has rewarded you, as long as you work hard, our king will not hesitate to reward!" ”

Harpy smiled and checked a handful of silver coins in his hand, nodded with great satisfaction: "The king is really bold, don't worry, even if I can't get along with anyone, I won't get along with money!" ”

At this time, Qin Dong had quietly arrived not far from here with his soldiers and horses, he sent people to reconnoiter the surroundings, and found a very hidden mountain pass, which was suitable for rest and defense, and the location was also very hidden, and the news about how the mercenary group was preparing to ambush Pedro and his army quickly reached him.

After listening to the report, Qin Dong immediately ordered his army of nearly two hundred people to rest in the mountain col, and he himself personally took a few people to the ambush site of the mercenary group to reconnoitre, but it was not so easy to be this yellow finch, he had to know the surrounding terrain well, and if he was not discovered by the cicadas and praying mantises, he should pay more attention to the timing of the attack, especially to calm down and grasp the opportunity.

After more than two hours of reconnaissance, Qin Dong has a general understanding of the surrounding terrain, the news from Harpy and the situation of Qin Dong's reconnaissance combined with the situation made him a little embarrassed, if the two mercenary groups will share the spoils on the spot after the successful ambush, and then go their separate ways, then he must do it before the two mercenary groups are separated, so as not to make it more difficult to retrieve the goods after the goods and taxes are divided into two, but if you want to do it on the spot, and the terrain here is extremely unsuitable for cavalry combat, The terrain here lacks room for maneuver for cavalry, and if he forces his hands, the combat effectiveness of his archers will be greatly reduced.
