Chapter 540: Ambush

On a hot summer day, on the desolate wilderness, a caravan of the Shatu people was walking slowly.

The rocks and gravel on the ground were scorched hot by the sun, and from a distance, the air on the ground writhed with heat.

The conflict between the seven divisions of the Sand Turf on the Gulang grassland continues, and it is getting more and more intense, the Uli Department and the Ebony Department are like fire and water, and the other departments are more or less implicated, because of this, the business of the Sand Tu caravan is also greatly affected, and the small group of the Sand Tu caravan is often harassed, and the fighters below the Uli Department and the Ebony Department who fight also regard the other party's caravan as a target, and the people of the Uli Department encounter the caravan of the Ebony Department, they are all robbing and killing the light, and in the same way, the people of the Eumu Department encounter the caravan of the Uli Department, and they are also robbing and killing the light, in such an atmosphere, even if the caravan of the other parts of the Seven Sand Rush Divisions is not involved, it will also be affected by the fish pond, encountered those soldiers of the Ebony and Uli tribes who killed their eyes, and were either harassed or robbed and killed in the same way......

The scimitar in the hands of the Shatu people is not only ruthless when it cuts at the foreigners, but also the internal tilting of the Shatu people is even more cruel and bloody.

When the grassland began to become chaotic, it was no longer safe for small groups of dozens or hundreds of people to travel in small groups of Shatu caravans, and only the safety of large groups of Shatu caravans was slightly guaranteed, and if there were many people, when encountering a small group of cavalry from the Ebony and Uli tribes, they would not have to worry about being swallowed by the other party, and now when the caravans of the Shatu people came out, they all carried the banners of other tribes, not the banners of the Uli and Ebony tribes, even if it was a caravan of the Ebony and Uli tribes, after leaving their own territory, they would play the banners of other tribes。

The caravan of the Shatu people in front of him is under the banner of the Earth Desert Department, the Coyote Department and the Wind River Department, which makes people think that this is a caravan from the Earth Desert Department, the Coyote Department and the Wind River Department combined to go on the road together, and the whole group has about four or five hundred people, with seven or eight hundred rhinosaurus horses and camels, those rhinosaurus horses and camels, are full of goods, especially the goods on those camels, which are piled up like a hill, and the long caravan stretches for hundreds of meters, walking in the desolate wilderness, looking from a distance, like a long snake。

In fact, this caravan came from the Uli Ministry, and all the people in the caravan were from the Uli Ministry.

The more chaotic the Gulang grassland, the more prominent the role of the caravan, because the salt, tea, silk cloth, and iron tools brought by the caravan to the tribe were the most urgently needed things for the nobles and the grassland.

"Those damn sluts in Jade Dragon Mountain......" Adebe, who was riding on the rhinosaurus horse, looked at the ridge on the horizon in front of him, and couldn't help but curse, "And those Han people, they all deserve to die!"

Turning over the hill in front, you will enter the territory of Yingwei County in Pingxi County.

Adebe, who is already in his fifties, is the leader of this caravan, in the past, Yingwei County did not mean anything to Adebe, because it was just a poor small place in Pingxi County, but since the second half of last year, when the border market of Yingwei County was established, that Yingwei County has become dazzling in Adebe's eyes.

In that set, the small tribes of the Dayue tribe, the Wusu tribe and the Pile tribe in the Yulong Mountain who did not obey their Shatu rule and the mountain people in the Yulong Mountain, those scattered small tribes and mountain people opened up a mountain road from the Yulong Mountain to Yingwei County, and then the furs, medicinal materials, gems, exotic beast nucleus, precious wood, these things were continuously transported out of the mountains and became the sought-after goods of the Han merchants and merchants.

You must know that these things used to be monopolized by their Shatu caravans, and now there are people openly robbing business with their Shatu people, Adebe is of course unhappy, and what makes the Shatu people even more uncomfortable is that the border market in Yingwei County does not do business with their Shatu people, and their Shatu caravan cannot interfere in it, and the price of these things sold in the market is cheaper than what they sell by the Shatu people, and the Han merchants and firms who originally did business with them have either begun to buy goods from the border market in Yingwei County, or they have used the price of the border market in Yingwei County to bargain with them, making a dry Shatu caravan want to die。

Now the caravan is harder than before, but the money earned is not as much as before, Adebe, who is riding on the rhinosaurus horse, began to miss the old days, at that time, when their caravan of the Shatu people entered Pingxi City, they did not pay the entrance fee, they could ride into the city, the small officials and the people of the Han people trembled in front of them, and they did not dare to look at them directly, and when they saw the Han people who were not pleasing to the eye, they could take the whip at will, and sometimes even cut with a knife, and they were not afraid to kill people, because the government did not dare to pursue it, and the big deal was to lose some money and goods, and when they saw what they liked, they could grab it, occupy it, and cheat itAdebei and many Shatu people around him can't understand why these Han people who are as weak as sheep can occupy such a large area of land and beautiful rivers and mountains in the Guannei, and can live in the city and in the gorgeous mansions, why they, the brave Shatu people, can only endure the wind, frost, snow and rain on the grassland outside the Guan, and live in tents, God is really unfair!

Of course, Adebe never thought that the Gulang grassland was a shelter given to them by the Han people, they always felt that the Gulang grassland was robbed by them with a knife, and it had nothing to do with the gifts of the Han people.

The resentment in his heart made Adebay feel that the day was even hotter, and after scolding, his throat was even more dry, Adebay picked up the kettle hanging on the saddle, tilted his head and took two gulps of water, the sweet water flowed into his hot throat, making him feel much more comfortable at once, and some droplets of water sprinkled on his thick long beard, shining in the sun.

"Ah......h

"Isn't it still in Yingwei County?" the man spoke, his voice hoarse and arrogant.

Adebay did not dare to slack off on this person, because this person was a steward sent by the nobleman behind Adebe, who was higher than him in the Uli Ministry, and this time he entered the customs with his caravan, and had another important task, before coming, the nobleman behind Adebay had already explained to Adebay and asked Adebay to listen to this person's arrangement.

"Crossing the ridge in front of us is Yingwei County, today we can pass through Yingwei County, camp at the Ganzi River at night, and drive another day tomorrow, and by tomorrow night, we can reach Pingxi City!" Adebay pointed to the ridge in front of him and replied respectfully.

"Can't the newly made spinning machines, looms, and water and fire machines of the Han people be bought in Yingwei County? If they can be bought in Yingwei County, I don't have to go to Pingxi City, and I can also go back with my things as soon as possible to deal with Lord Huck!"

"Yingwei County is estimated not to have any, if we go to Yingwei County, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!" Adebe licked her lips, " Yingwei County gathered a lot of people from the Great Moon Department in the Jade Dragon Mountain, the Wusu Department and the Pile Department, there were not many people last year, this year there are almost five or six thousand people, those people rely on the side set, do business, open workshops, operate restaurants and inns, has formed a very big force, if they see us, something will definitely happen, last time there was a caravan of the Wind River Department, more than a hundred people wanted to go to the side of Yingwei County to see, but in the end only seven people came back alive, and the rest were killed by those cheap people in the Jade Dragon Mountain near the side set of Yingwei County......”

"The Han people's side set, they don't care?"

"The garrison of the Han people was watching with their hands on the side, and they didn't care, and then we found the Overseer's Mansion in Pingxi County, and the Overseer's Mansion said that those tribes in Yulong Mountain were not under their jurisdiction, and the affairs of the Shatu people and other tribes, let us solve it ourselves, whoever killed our people, let us go to whom......"

"Damn the bastards, sooner or later they will have to cut off all their heads!" the nobleman's steward scolded fiercely, "Then go to Pingxi County!"

"Hmm!"

"In addition to those few things, the lord also wants you to get two Han people who know how to manipulate those things back, no one in our tribe knows how to do it yet, especially how to deal with wool, Lord Huck wants to see it for himself......"

"This ......," Adebe's brow furrowed.

"Why, Adebe, when did your courage become smaller, can't you do such a thing at all!" the nobleman's steward looked at Adebe with contempt, "It's just a few Han people, is this also a difficult thing? Didn't you bring back several Han women to the adults before?"

Thinking of the heads of those Shatu people hanging on the walls of the city wall of Pingxi County before, Adebei swallowed his saliva, "Since the Ye family fell, Pingxi County is not as good as before, if this matter is discovered by the Han people, I am afraid it will ......."

"Just tell me if it's okay or not?" interrupted Adebe.

Adebay finally gritted his teeth and nodded heavily, "After arriving in Pingxi City, we'd better divide into two groups and act separately, I'll get the things that Lord Huck wants first, you take the things on the road and come back first, and then I'll go get people, now we have a tense relationship with those people in the Ebony Department in Pingxi City, you must not reveal your identity......"

"You must know that this is a major matter that adults are concerned about, these few things, those distinguished guests from the tribe also want to see, if this matter is messed up, you yourself carry your head to explain to the adults!"

"Yes!"

The caravan of the Shatu people was walking in the wilderness, and on the ridge in front of them, which Adebe had pointed to earlier, Yan Liqiang was on a hillside, squinting at it......

"The Shatu people are coming...... Shi Dafeng licked his lips and let out a low cry of excitement, and the rhinosaurus horse under his crotch also became a little restless, tapping the ground with his front hooves......

Shen Teng, Shi Changfeng, Zhou Yong and others were all riding rhinosaurus horses, next to Yan Liqiang, and beside everyone, under the hillside behind them, there were students of the Archery Club riding on rhinosaurus horses......
