Chapter 290: The Horse Thief Who Bought Fish
The emperor's palace, maybe ten or eight years may not be someone to come, but the palace can not be abandoned, who knows when the emperor will come here on a whim to live here for a few days, so in the palace, there are always some people here to take care of. \、0М/
Junshan Canyon is not the only passage, a hundred kilometers to the north, you can also reach Junshan City, but the foot businessmen, still like to walk here, at least you can walk less than half a day's journey, for businessmen, time is money.
What's more, Junshan Canyon is very close to Junshan City, in Junshan City, there is a division of flamingo cavalry, for thousands of years, the terrain of Junshan Canyon is treacherous, but there has never been a horse thief, and the horse thief also knows that this is the hometown of Emperor Wu Tian, and he does not dare to come here to eat.
This is a caravan that is not too big, with twenty guards in the front and rear, and ten large carts in the middle, which can be seen from the mountain, and the carts are loaded with special sea fish from the Aeolian Empire, which is a good thing, and it can be transported to Oxim for at least ten times the price.
The transportation of marine fish is different from ordinary goods, which must be chilled, and the cost of this journey is indeed quite a lot. However, the profits are considerable, and there are still many commercial houses doing this business.
Larry was at the head of the group, he was the leader of the Kuka mercenary group, a fourteenth-level samurai, and he was the leader of the caravan's guards. This mission, the distance is not too far, the most important thing is fast, even if the sea fish is chilled, it can't be left for too long, not to mention that ice also costs money, the faster you go, the more money you can save for the business bank, and his commission will increase a lot.
There are ice cellars in Junshan City, where some ice can be replenished, but the value is frighteningly expensive. The road is better after Junshan City, and it doesn't take much to get to Oxim. And it's a big city all the way, there will be no horse thieves, and you can get home safely-
......Shh Bell ...... - An arrow rose into the sky, and in the grass on the hillside, more than 30 samurai rushed onto the avenue, and on the slopes on both sides, more than 100 people with grass rings on their heads showed their bodies from the hiding place, holding bows and crossbows, and faintly surrounded the convoy.
The corners of Larry's mouth went up slightly, with a hint of a smile. I didn't expect there to be horse thieves in Junshan Canyon. And it seems to be well-trained, and the number of people is four or five times more than that of the Kuka mercenary group. In this mission, the cargo is not much. So he took only fifty people with him, and that was enough.
If he usually sees such a capable horse thief, he has no bottom in his heart, and it is best to solve it peacefully. What's more, the other party is using a ringing arrow, which means that the other party is full of confidence, and there must be a master among the horse thieves. As a horse thief. Sneak attacks seem to suit them better. The battle of the sword and the sword is not the style of a horse thief.
Larry has encountered horse thieves quite a few times. It's also been a life-and-death battle, but this time it's different. It is not only very close to Junshan City, but also convenient for help. What's more, because he was lucky yesterday, he picked up four pedestrians on the way, and with these four people, or two of them, he didn't care about any more horse thieves, and he didn't need to ask for help.
A tall white horse ran over, and on the horseback sat two children carved in pink, and in front of it was a boy, dressed in a trumpet magic robe, wielding a small staff in his right hand, and howling all the way forward. Sitting behind him was a girl, dressed in small chain mail and holding a short broadsword, none other than the Juliangina siblings.
Looking at the two children, the mercenaries around them smiled kindly, the little magician was so naughty, after only one day, he was already familiar with the mercenaries, but the girl, who looked like a little lady, rarely spoke.
"Head Larry, let me come. Julian was excited, there was a horse thief, a legendary horse thief, he had never seen it before.
Larry smiled and took a step back, it's not that he wants to retreat, there is a hurricane, all the war horses have to stand aside, pull the wind and the hurricane, the war horse is absolutely not allowed to stand in front of it, if there is a bold one, kick it.
"Well, the other side is a horse thief?" Julian is swaggering and high-spirited, with a staff in his right hand and a cute childlike voice, which is seriously lacking in deterrence. However, with the magic robe on his body, no one dared to despise him, regardless of his youth.
Tom. Hanks really didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to get some sea fish to try, he had never eaten sea fish before. This thing is not easy to get rid of, as a horse thief, he will not rob this thing, this time, he really just wants to taste the taste of sea fish.
Tom is thirty-six years old today, and has been a horse thief since he was eighteen years old, and he wandered around the team twice, around the Demon Forest. Such horse thieves, known as rogue thieves, robbed several times to change places, the most headache for the sheriff, to eliminate rogue bandits, far more than ten times more difficult than to eliminate ordinary horse thieves.
When Tom was thirty years old, he took over the team of horse thieves, and under his leadership, this horse thief had a lot of military flavor, and was well-known among horse thieves, but the number was always small. Tom thinks that a good horse thief is much more useful than ten garbage horse thieves, and that in his horse thief, he does not keep garbage.
Two hundred and eighty horse thieves, two or three times a month, have gotten a good life for the horse thieves. After six years, the horse thieves became rich, and each horse thief received more gold coins than many landlords in small cities.
Once people have money, their minds are different. Tom gathers an all-horse thief meeting to brainstorm and make everyone choose their future. Eighty of them chose to find an empire to settle down and no longer continue to be horse thieves.
The other two hundred decided to continue to follow Tom, believing that Tom's decision would bring them more benefits. Although Tom was a thief and had never read a book, he knew very well that he had already registered with the magistrates of the empires in this line of work. Don't think that if you have money, you can become a rich man, in the past, they ran around, and people couldn't catch them, if they settle down now, and the bitter lord comes to the door, can the sheriff let them go? Impossible, the horse thief is easy to get in and hard to get out.
Since it can't work, you have to find a way to bleach yourself and have the right to settle openly, which still needs to fight for your life. There is only one way, join the emperor's ** team, with his and two hundred subordinates, it is no problem to mix the army, as long as he makes a few achievements on the front line, the identity of the horse thief, even if he is recognized by others, it doesn't matter.
Since he is in the Auckland Empire, Tom is ready to join the Auckland Army, and now Auckland, but his reputation is not only rich, but also his military strength is also very strong, the Blue Sky Legion, the Ink Armor Division, and the Flamingo Legion, I heard that they are also preparing to form a magician regiment recently, all using magic weapons, with higher security and more noble identity, if you can get in, it goes without saying that your status in the future is nothing, what is it if you have been a horse thief.
Junshan City is a good choice, there is a recruiting office here, he is going to take two hundred brothers, here to mix in the army first, with their skills, at least enter the Flamingo Legion is no problem, Tom has this confidence. They have been repairing here for half a month, and they are going to go down the mountain to sign up in the next few days.
Hearing that a caravan carrying sea fish had arrived, Tom hesitated for a long time, and when he entered the army, he did not know how much he would have to suffer, and when he arrived at the front line, how many of the two hundred brothers would have their lives to come back?
He had already sent someone to investigate, the head of the regiment Larry was a fourteenth-level warrior with good skills, and Tom happened to be a fifteenth-level warrior, and he was the kind of one who was about to become a martial saint, so he was naturally not afraid of Larry. As for these people under him, after six years of training, they have at least the strength of level 5 or above, not to mention the small number, but the strength is very strong, which is the basis for him to have the confidence to blend into the army and make meritorious contributions. These subordinates, just pick them out, it's no problem to mix a squad leader in the army.
Tom's eyes narrowed into a line, he naturally would not be afraid of a child, that child looked less than ten years old, even if he was a magician, could he still compare to himself? Such an old magician naturally had to follow the mentor, that is to say, in this caravan, there was an old magician who could take apprentices, this was the last thing he wanted to see.
"Hello, my name is Tom, respected Mr. Magician, we are not horse thieves, on the contrary, we are going to Junshan City to join the army, passing by here, I saw the sea fish in the car, and wanted to buy some to satisfy our hunger. Tom said with a smile, and at the same time secretly signaled that the horse thieves on both sides knew that something was wrong, and put down the bow and crossbow in their hands.
"Buy fish, do you sell it?" the kid is really easy to deceive, although he doesn't feel right, why do you have to take out a knife and bow to buy fish, but he doesn't know the customs of Auckland, Caesar is a good martial artist, in the imperial capital, there is nothing wrong with carrying a weapon with him, as long as he doesn't cut people on the street, it doesn't matter if he seeks the city, maybe the same is true in Auckland.
"Young Master Julian, I'm sorry, I'm just the captain of the guard, not a businessman, as for whether to sell fish or not, I don't count. Larry said with a smile, the leader of the horse thieves on the opposite side reacted so quickly, if he slowed down, this young man who wanted to be a horse thief would definitely go on a killing spree, but he had seen Julian walking around with five necromantic skeletons. Those necromancers, pick any one of them, can wipe out the Kuka mercenary group.
"It's boring, I don't care, you can ask the people of the caravan if you sell fish or not. "It's not a horse thief, it's boring, Julian patted Hurricane on the neck, he didn't dare to be unreasonable with Hurricane, but Hurricane liked him and Gina very much.
"They're horse thieves. "Gina is the same age as Julian, but she is much more shrewd than Julian, not so easy to deceive, and she can see the problem at a glance.
"Oh?"
"When they see us, they are not horse thieves, they have become fish buyers, ignore them, let's go back. Gina said, Julian thoughtfully, I see, it seems that magic robes can change people's professions at any time, which is interesting. (Full Text)
