Later, these merchants heard that the Luo Clan Trading House had hired nearly a hundred mercenaries a few days before they came to Beizhen, forming a large escort team, and had advanced to the grassland!

However, these caravans in Beizhen later did not have the financial resources of the Luo family's trading house, so how could they afford to hire such a large escort team?

But without security, who would dare to risk their lives and property to enter the grassland?!

But if it is only consumed in the north town, and it costs a lot of money and food, these merchants are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they are wandering around.

There were a few small merchants who ran the order gang, and they originally wanted to follow these big caravans into the grassland according to the market of previous years, as long as they took a few big caravans and paid a little money.

But these small and medium-sized businesses don't have that much strength at all, and they hire hundreds of mercenaries to form a guard team, so they are all waiting and watching.

These small merchants couldn't wait, so they entered the grassland with the idea of hitting the luck. As a result, within two days, the news came back that these small merchants had been robbed and killed in the wilderness.

It didn't matter if these little merchants were killed by Redbeard's brigade of horse thieves, or if they were just a few rogue robbers! But after the news came back, no one dared to act rashly.

It occurred to me that if I could find out the news of the trip of the Luo Firm, I would know what the situation was on this road, and was it as rumored that there were vicious horse thieves everywhere?

So now all the people are waiting for the news of Luo's firm's itinerary.

Through various relationship channels, many people wanted to inquire about the itinerary of Luo's merchants after entering the grassland from the guys of Luo's trading house who stayed in Beizhen.

Even the young man standing at the door was invited to eat several meals.

But these people were disappointed in the end, Luo's firm has been gone for more than ten days, and only a few times of news has been transmitted back at the beginning, but no news has been transmitted back recently.

In particular, a shopkeeper who stayed in Beizhen recently suddenly refused the banquet of several people, but stayed in the restaurant rented by Luo's Commercial Bank, and did not enter the second door without going out, and even refused many people to visit and closed the door.

This time, many people secretly speculated whether Luo's firm had touched Redbeard, and this time, this Luo's firm was only afraid that it would be more auspicious!

When the guards of the Luo clan's caravan transporting war horses returned, they brought a piece of good news that made everyone excited! The biggest horse thief on the grassland had been exterminated, and even their big boss, the Red Beard, had been killed!

The person who exterminated the horse thieves of Redbeard was the mercenary escort of the Luo Clan's trading house!

The escort team of the trading house killed the horse thieves to the point that most of them were wiped out, and the rest were terrified, and they didn't dare to come out to do evil again!

Recently, the road to the grassland has finally been peaceful!

At first, no one was willing to believe that with only a hundred and ten mercenary guards, they could exterminate those horse thieves with a large number of people?

But then the carriage transporting the wounded also returned to the town, and when Wang Jindao and Li Mazi appeared among the wounded soldiers, the people in the town already believed that the escort team had encountered the horse thief, but the result of this battle was whether the horse thief was really dispersed, and everyone was still half-convinced.

It wasn't until they learned the exact news from Wang Jindao and Li Mazi that the people in the town finally believed that the horse thief had indeed been defeated!

And from some news from the two of them, I found out that the guard who killed Redbeard was a small mercenary in the town.

As a result, these idle mercenaries in North Town, in the eyes of those merchants, this force cultivation has gone up several steps in time!

Even a few caravans that had already brought guards and were ready to walk alone on their own immediately hired a few more mercenaries from North Town.

In the past few days, these mercenaries who are begging for a living in North Town have immediately become sought-after, and even their commissions are much higher than in previous years.

Now the road to the grassland is relatively peaceful, and it is said that there are only a few small groups of horse thieves on the road, and they have long been unable to set off too much wind and waves, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, for the sake of safety, some of these caravans have taken the lead and entered the grassland together, and several large and small businesses have already been contacted and are ready to set off together in the near future.

Although the caravan set off together, due to the large number of caravans, the profit will be slightly less, but the strength of the large number of people is relatively safe.

There are also some treacherous minds, but they decide to wait for these caravans to depart, and then they will go later! In this way, although they will enter the grassland later than others, they can avoid these big caravans, so as not to compete with them for trade, and the time difference is staggered, and there is no peer competition, and they can better trade with those steppe people.

So in the past two days, many merchant caravans, peddlers and pawns are preparing for the trip.

As soon as the sky was hazy, I heard the neighing of cattle from Beizhen, and the loud shouts of the men, and the scolding of the shopkeepers or merchants...... The whole North Town seems to be both prosperous and busy.

Today is the day when several merchants, led by Chen's firm, are ready to set off.

Chen's firm is engaged in the silk and satin cloth business, and Chen's firm is a small commercial house in Chuyue Kingdom, and its scale is not very large, but it is not much smaller than Luo's firm.

The boss of the firm is surnamed Chen, and people who know him call him Boss Chen.

Boss Chen is only in his forties this year, but he is very shrewd and capable, at first he was just a partner for other firms, but after a few years of hard work, he has supported this family business, and now he has two shopkeepers and a number of buddies.

Last year, he pressed a batch of silk and satin cloth that was not of too good grade, Chu Yueguo is in the south of the Bachuan River, which is a famous land of fish and rice, a rich land, and a rich production area of silk and satin. The goods he hoarded couldn't be sold at a good price locally!

Boss Chen heard that the grassland people liked the silk of the Central Plains very much, and they couldn't distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of silk, so he personally took this batch of goods and prepared to come to the grassland to make a good deal.

When I first came to Northtown, I heard that horse thieves were fierce and rampant, and as a result, I stayed in Northtown for a while. I wanted to go back, but after thinking about it, the losses of this back and forth made him unbearable, and he was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles.

It can be said that the road to the grassland is too peaceful, and Boss Chen is afraid that it will not be safe, so he came out and contacted a few small businesses like him.

In order to avoid vicious competition between peers when he arrived in the grassland, he deliberately selected five or six businesses to contact, and each of these businesses sold different goods.

For example, the Chen firm's main business was cloth and silk, while the other few were dealing in porcelain or trinkets, or all kinds of daily necessities! In this way, the goods of this caravan were not only varied and varied, but at the same time, it avoided vicious competition, and it was bound to attract more grassland people to trade, which was almost a win-win situation.

And each family has contributed money and efforts, and each has hired a lot of mercenary guards, putting these mercenary guards together, it is also a security force that cannot be underestimated, relatively speaking, the safety along the way is also more guaranteed.

Since today was the day to prepare for departure, Mr. Chen couldn't sleep in the second half of the night. I carefully calculated the itinerary plan on this road. So before it was daylight, he called all the men in the caravan and began to arrange breakfast.

The inn where Boss Chen and the others live is called Shunfa Inn.

Shunfa Inn is in North Town, although it is not the largest, but the scale is not small.

The location of this Shunfa Inn is in the southernmost part of North Town, which means that when you enter North Town from the Empire, the first inn you see is this Shunfa Inn.

When he first entered Beizhen, Boss Chen originally wanted to find a smaller inn to deal with for a few days, but found that the small inns inside were already full.

Since the Shunfa Inn is to the south, and to the grassland is to the north, most people are willing to stay in the inn in order to get closer, so the guests are not yet full.

Boss Chen had no choice but to live here, although the price is relatively expensive, but the service attitude in the inn is excellent.

Last night, the guys of the caravan had already loaded all the goods into the car, and Boss Chen arranged for the night watch.

So although I got up early today, I wasn't very busy.

The convoy of five or six merchants had already formed a long line on the dirt road outside the inn, waiting for everyone to have breakfast before whipping off.

Most of the guys had already finished eating, and they all packed up their ropes, just waiting for Boss Chen to speak, and then set off immediately.

In order to ask for a lucky head for a smooth trip, Boss Chen deliberately moved out a custom in his hometown.

I saw him take out a long plate of firecrackers, walk to the front of the convoy, and prepare to start the fireworks.

When he bent down to hold the incense and muttered prayers for a smooth journey, he was about to light the fuse when he heard a commotion from the rear of the convoy.

Boss Chen was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, so he immediately stood up and looked at the rear, thinking about what was going on behind him?

As soon as he stood up, he saw the sound of pain and scolding coming from behind him, and faintly heard the crackling of the whip.

Someone came to make trouble!? This made Boss Chen's heart very angry! It must be those guys who were rejected by themselves to join the gang, and they wanted to come and find it!

As he took a step, Boss Chen had a gloomy face, and he wanted to walk to the back of the convoy to see what was going on.

Before he had walked a few steps, he saw several men on horseback behind him, waving the whips in their hands, and constantly whipping the men of their caravan.

The five or six men were menacing, and the horsewhips in their hands seemed to carry great power, making a terrifying whistling sound in the air, and every guy who was drawn would immediately roll to the ground and let out a scream and cry!

In an instant, the convoy of horses, which was originally neatly arranged, was immediately overturned and scattered by the rushing people, and the scene was even more chaotic.
