Chapter 155: The Cold Iron City Incident
……
That night, the five cities in the north, the southern part of the forsaken land, quietly ushered in a catastrophe.
Yeyin City, almost all the merchant families in the city are united, just a pillar of incense, a chamber of commerce and a soul master family that originally stood in Yeyin City for nearly a hundred years have been completely wiped out, it is worth cheering that all the family property left by these two families is not less than a penny, as if it was deliberately reserved for someone to receive it.
On the other side, in the city of Cold Iron City, the Spark Caravan had just been established less than a month ago.
"Miss, let's have some tea."
Weng Zimo's personal maid brought a cup of soothing tea and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of her.
"Yes, let it go."
A light and pleasant voice sounded, but it was difficult to hide the tiredness in it, and it seemed that this extraordinary young lady was not having a good time in this cold iron city.
"Miss......"
The maid wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, she couldn't help but speak.
"Let's change places, with the strength of our family, why come here to look at other people's colors, I ...... the way the head of the regiment looks at you."
Weng Zimo rubbed her temples a little irritably, she didn't know what the maid said, but she came out this time to make a military order, if she can successfully open the trade road between the Spark Caravan and the South this time, then the next session of the Spark Caravan will be her.
In her original idea, the most suitable place should be Yeyin City, but who knew that person really didn't know what to do, so he was angry.
And in the remaining four cities, except for the Cold Iron City, which is firmly controlled by the Cold Iron Mercenary Group, the remaining three cities are almost all in chaos, not to mention trade, and basic stability is a big difficulty.
The biggest headache for her is that the Spark Caravan has an iron law one day, and if outsiders do not attack first, they are not allowed to participate in any battles between forces, let alone expand their territory outside.
Damn, sometimes she really wants to dig those old ancestors out of the ground and ask them what is going on in their heads, and more importantly, the elders of the Spark Caravan are still honestly enforcing these iron laws.
"Do you want to continue to let him be rude like this?"
"Alas......"
Weng Zimo, who was a little unwilling, let out a long sigh.
"It's really not possible, I'll write a letter back to the headquarters tomorrow and ask them to send an offering over and knock on it."
But once she did so, even if she did succeed in opening up the trade route, everyone would think that she had borrowed the power of the headquarters, even if she only asked the worshippers to come and say a word or two.
"By the way, how did I ask you to investigate?"
A few days ago, her subordinates suddenly discovered that there were many Spark caravan carriages coming and going in Yeyin City every day, so she specially sent someone to her house to ask about the situation over there.
"I asked clearly, it was Miss Xu who was buying military supplies and drugs and other materials on a large scale, by the way, Miss, why was Miss Xu able to participate in the struggle for forces?"
"Why do you say that Xu Shiyi is involved in the struggle between the forces? Did she kill someone for that Guan Erye? Even if the people above investigate it, they can't do anything about her, she can completely say that she is in charge of the trade of goods in Yeyin City, don't forget, the entire Yeyin City is controlled by that guy alone. ”
After saying so much, Weng Zimo felt that his tongue was a little dry, and he was immediately stunned when he picked up the tea cup to his mouth.
"What did you just say? What did Xu Shiyi's girl buy? ”
The maid was taken aback by Weng Zimo's unusual behavior, and immediately replied.
"It's all military supplies, such as standard cotton clothes and boots, and some medicines that are used to dissipate blood."
Weng Zimo's face became more and more solemn after hearing this, and he confirmed again.
"Are you sure that girl bought a large batch of blood powder?"
The maid thought about it carefully, and her tone was affirmative.
"Sure, it is said that nearly one-tenth of the backlog of blood scattered in the headquarters has been taken away."
Which force does Yeyin City want to wage war against?! Weng Zimo said in his heart a madman, Huaxuesan is a special herbal product, this medicine is simple, but it is extremely difficult to preserve, especially in a high temperature or low temperature environment, it is easy to lose its efficacy, this is especially one foot into the cold winter, Yeyin City still wants to buy this kind of thing Its heart can be seen.
It's just that she really can't figure out which force they want to attack at this juncture, and what are they trying to do?
If it was to survive this winter's resources, then their actions were undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse, Weng Zimo recalled that guy called Xia Yi, with his cunning, it would be impossible to make such a mistake, so why?
"Lest one day, there will be no choice."
The cup in her hand fell straight to the ground, Weng Zimo thought about it, she knew which force Yeyin City was going to start a war against, it was the Cold Iron Mercenary Group.
"Little Green ......"
Weng Zimo grabbed the maid's hand, and his tone trembled.
"Quick, you go to the Cold Iron Mercenary Regiment......"
At this point, the voice was cut off again, she can't participate in the battle of forces, this is an iron law, she can also provide weapons and drugs for the Cold Iron Mercenary Group, provided that the Cold Iron Mercenary Group is willing to pay for it, but she must not participate in any direct form, otherwise what awaits her is punishment.
"You go and send a message to the caravans that are going to all parts of the country not to return to the Cold Iron City, unless you get my order again, and ...... From now on, let's close the house, go and mobilize all our manpower to the house, go now! ”
"But Miss ......"
Although I know that my young lady's decision has always been extremely correct, this time her order is really a little incomprehensible.
"If we mobilize our subordinates on a large scale so late, will it arouse the suspicion of the Cold Iron Mercenary Regiment?"
Weng Zimo gritted his teeth and said.
"It's good to be suspicious, can't you learn from other people's Yeyin City? How hard it is to arrange more people to patrol the night at night! ”
The maid Qing'er didn't doubt him, and ran out on tiptoe, but after only three breaths, she turned back with a panicked face.
"Oh no, Miss! Someone's coming into town! ”
Weng Zimo stood up suddenly, incredulous.
"How could it be so fast?!"
According to her calculations, there will be action at the earliest, which is two days in advance.
She hurriedly ran out to check, but saw that the night sky in the west had been lit up with red light, and the huge footsteps coming from the side of the street showed that the cold iron city was panicking about this raid, everyone had already entered the city, but their own support had not yet arrived.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
Although this kind of thing is no longer strange, Qing'er still feels a little panicked, this kind of war between forces is often the death of hundreds of people.
Weng Zimo's face changed again and again, and finally calmed down and let out a long sigh.
"Let's go back and wait."
"Wait?"
Qing'er is about to die, did her own Bingxue smart young lady burn out her brain today? The sound of fighting and killing in this city spread by itself, although it won't run away, but you can't just wait stupidly, right?!
Weng Zimo is the most helpless person, with her current understanding of that force, she doesn't believe that the person named Xia Yi will fight an unprepared battle, as for why this battle is only fought today? It is estimated that his second master is back.
Since she has no choice, all she has to do is calm her mind, and there will be a difficult negotiation waiting for her in a while.
And this time...... She completely lost the right to choose.
