Chapter 157: Bone Pottery Fly Gu (11)
"It's worthy of the three Hu brothers, it's really a good strategy! So we're going to wait here?"
"Well...... Anyway, let's wait and see, brother, I'm not sure that ghost cloud will be lured out.
But waiting here is definitely the safest way to go, and I don't want to run into that ghost cloud head-on for a while. ”
"Head-on?"
Yang Congxun humbly asked for advice like a curious baby, but this time the fox did not respond immediately, but was so preoccupied that he scratched half of the ground with his paws, and then turned his head to look at Yang Congxun.
"Brother Yang, why do you think the shopkeeper Lu, who opened the inn just now, persuaded the king to leave the goods behind them early tomorrow morning and leave quickly?"
"Well, your own life is naturally more important than your goods.
No, there's no need to leave all the goods behind!
They are all pack horses that pull big carts and make long strength, this kind of horse is okay to drive, but it is not fast when it is purely a mount. ”
"That's it, even laymen like us know the truth, and the shopkeeper Lu, as an innkeeper who specializes in caravan business, will not know this.
Hmph, I think this shopkeeper Lu wants to escape from this Lujia Town with his family.
That's why he suggested that the king should unload some of the goods, so that they could make room for their family in the cart. ”
"But then how can the shopkeeper Lu be so sure that Wang Jiangshi will definitely agree to his request?"
"My brother, he is the leader of a caravan!
These merchants are willing to risk being hijacked by bandits to run merchants outside the border, isn't the purpose of money?
As long as he Lu is the shopkeeper and gives up the silver, it is not too difficult for them to loosen their mouths. ”
"Makes sense! As long as they leave this Lujia Town, everything will be fine, and they don't have to follow the caravan all the way to Guanwai.
Wang Jiangshi, they can completely throw the Lu shopkeeper and his family in Chengde Fucheng, and then purchase new goods locally and transport them to the outside of the customs! ”
"It seems that this is the case."
Then, the fox grinned and laughed: "Why did they persuade them a little tonight, and they will no longer interfere with our demon eradication."
If we can't get rid of that ghost cloud tonight, King Ming will have one more batch of new passengers carpooling! ”
At this time, Yang Congxun suddenly said worriedly: "Third brother, will there be anything wrong with you tonight?" ”
"What's this? I don't think they're in any danger, and they're going to have a good night's sleep. ”
"Oh? I want to hear and see. ”
"Brother, do you remember the caravan that sent the bodies of Lu Sanshun and Zen Master Miao Di back to the town?
Do you think the caravan left safely or was it killed by a ghost cloud on the way? ”
Listening to Hu San's question, Yang Congxun frowned and thought for a while before nodding heavily.
"It seems that they should have left safely, Ma Laoke and Wang Jiangshi are both well-informed people, and this trade route to the outside of the border is still the capital for them to settle down.
If an entire caravan suddenly disappears inexplicably, it must be hidden from their eyes and ears...... That is, this ghost cloud will not attack the caravan? ”
"To be exact, the demon demons who manipulate this ghost cloud will not take the initiative to attack passing caravans.
My brother should still remember what Wang Jiangshi said to Zhao Jiaji, the third lady who opened a restaurant, right? ”
Hearing the fox's mention, Yang Congxun suddenly saved, and when the king was hurrying with the whip this afternoon, he shared some of his judgments about the restaurant Sanniang with Yang Congxun and Hu San.
In Wang Jiangshi's opinion, this Sanniang is obviously a supreme shrewd character.
She deliberately made a look of shouting and shouting and killing in front of others, in order to mislead others and make them think that she was brave and unscrupulous.
However, as long as you think about it deeply, this Sanniang was able to enter Lujia Town to find people to no avail, and immediately thought of going to Zhaojiaji, dozens of miles away, to open a restaurant specializing in the trading of caravans, so as to secretly monitor the target!
In the end, although this demon who can manipulate vampire monster clouds is more evil, he is not an immortal who can drink wind and smoke without being able to use knives and guns.
Those poisonous insects and beasts grinding their teeth and sucking blood in the wild of Lujia Town, the bandits and bandits with fast horses and scimitars, and the dry food and drinking water that may be in short supply at any time on their own bodies, all of them may want this demon to spare their lives!
If the man wanted to leave, he had to mix in the caravans that had left Lujia Town, and leave safely under the protection of the caravans.
But this man is so hidden, but the bloodthirsty ghost cloud in his hand has nowhere to hide!
There was no guarantee that the cloud would not go berserk with hunger on the way, and eat the whole caravan to nothing.
Unless...... Find an airtight jar and stuff this cloud into it!
What could be more suitable for this kind of thing than the bone urn produced in the pottery house of Lujia Town?
After all, it is a bone urn for ashes, such an unlucky thing, I'm afraid that even the soldiers who patrol the capital are unwilling to open it one by one for inspection, right?
Now you know Sanniang's real intention of opening a restaurant, right?
This planning and vision alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Lujiazhen may be a temporary refuge for the outlaws, but it is also a cage for these bandits.
It's not difficult to rely on selling coolies to mix bowls of rice in the pottery house, but don't want to get any help from the residents of Lujia Town to get out of here!
Sometimes, half a pack of Mongolian and Chinese medicine, a quick knife is enough to make a person disappear without realizing it!
Fortunately, Lu Jiazhen was also doing business with caravans in the past, and it was impossible for one or two insignificant outlaws to come to fight against the caravan and ruin his reputation in vain.
As long as the owner of the caravan is willing to nod his head loosely, then the demon can leave with the caravan in a grand manner.
And to manipulate the clouds to attack the caravan is to dig a grave for yourself!
As for what the demon will use to buy the owner of the caravan, it is naturally a wealth that touches people's hearts.
Think about it, Lu Sanshun, Zen Master Miaodi, and the four or five townspeople who fled together in Lujia Town, there were more than a dozen people who died under the mouth of this treacherous cloud.
These people are more or less entangled in their goods, and if they can resist their greed and not touch their corpses, then they are not demons but saints.
This is something that the fox and Yang Congxun, who are not deeply involved in the world, can figure it out, and it is impossible for the sophisticated shopkeeper Lu not to understand it.
The fact that the demon has not committed any crime against this Lu inn is enough to understand the problem.
So the shopkeeper Lu made a dangerous move today, gambling that this demon would not dare to attack the king's passing caravan tonight!
"If something happens to Wang Shishi's party tonight, then even if someone Lu is bad at chess, anyway, our whole family is hiding in our own cellar, so it's a big deal to wait for the next opportunity.
But if Lu is lucky, when Se Yiming, our family will run away with the car.
Even if this demon washes Lujia Town in blood tomorrow, it has nothing to do with Lu! ”
Sometimes, however, the old man doesn't like to get what people want.
No one thought that there would be a change in Yang Congxun and Hu San in the whole thing.
And so things began to rush in a direction that all the authorities had not expected.
