It didn't take long for a middle-aged man to find here, he was Yan Pengyu's deputy Yao Sheng this time.

"Brother, let me introduce you, this is my deputy Yao Sheng, Yao Sheng has been working in my Yan family's business before, this time he accompanied me out, but it helped me a lot. Yan Pengyu introduced the two of them, "Yao Sheng, this one is the elder brother of Canghu, his archery skills are famous in this area, and he is also one of the leaders in this Dongling Village. ”

"Captain Yao, this trip has been hard. Canghu saluted. Although it has not snowed in the past few days, the snow in the past has not melted much, and the hardships of the Yanjia caravan along the way can be imagined.

"Brother Cang is polite. Yao Sheng hurriedly replied, he was Yan Pengyu's confidant, and he had already heard of Canghu's name, and knew that he had a very good personal relationship with Yan Pengyu, so he didn't dare to snub Canghu.

The three of them sat down again, Yan Pengyu naturally asked about the current situation of the caravan, and Yao Sheng reported them one by one.

After a few more gossip, Yao Sheng said: "Brother Cang, I heard from the people in your village that there are traces of jackals here, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"This matter is true, Brother Cang has already told me, and wants us to complete the transaction as soon as possible and leave Dongling Village. Yan Pengyu said, "So, your work should be accelerated." ”

Yao Sheng glanced at Yan Pengyu and said, "Captain, I heard that someone in the village shot a Cadigo ......."

"I already know this, so you don't have to mention it. Yan Pengyu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Tell everyone that there are people monitoring the movements of the jackals in Dongling Village on the periphery, and if there is any situation, they will come back as soon as possible." Don't panic. And out of the goods came two sets of armor, ten spears, fifteen bows, and fifteen bundles of arrows, and the accounts were in my name. ”

"Yes! I remember. Yao Sheng responded.

That night, Yan Pengyu stayed at Canghu's house, and the three of them chatted until late at night before resting. Early the next morning, Canghu and Yan Pengyu got up, and they wanted to complete the rest of the transaction today, so that the Yanjia caravan could leave for the next village early tomorrow morning.

As soon as the two of them cleaned their faces, Cang Xiyue brought them breakfast, and before the two of them fell on the chairs, the courtyard door was knocked hard, and someone said loudly: "Is this Canghu's house?"

Yan Pengyu was stunned, this voice sounded a little familiar, it seemed that he had heard it somewhere. As soon as Cang Xiyue opened the courtyard door, the courtyard door was slammed open, squeezing Cang Xiyue, who had not been able to dodge, aside, and four men walked in with bows and swords and their heads held high.

"Bald Aso, what are you going to do here?" Yan Pengyu said angrily and patted the case. These four people are all guards hired by the Yanjia caravan, and the one at the head is surnamed Bald, and he is a small leader among the guards.

Only then did the bald Aso see Yan Pengyu sitting in the house, he seemed to be startled, and bowed his hand and said: "I don't know that the big shopkeeper is also here, the four of us were assigned by Captain Qi to come and talk to a villager named Canghu." ”

Yan Pengyu frowned and said: "What are you talking about? Besides, if you talk about things, do you have someone like you who broke in to talk about things? Those who know are here to talk about things, and those who don't know don't think that you are all bandits!" "The name of Captain Qi in the mouth of the bald Aso is Qi Yangdong, the leader of the mercenaries in the escort team, and his status in the caravan is relatively transcendent- This time he came out in winter, because the road was not very peaceful, and the strength of the guards in the family was somewhat insufficient, so he hired ten guards, and these ten guards were headed by Qi Yangdong, plus their excellent force, they soon became the core backbone of the escort team.

Bald Aso laughed and said, "The big shopkeeper, we are all rough people, and you don't know it." This is not Captain Qi's order, we are afraid that something will happen. ”

"What is Captain Qi looking for me?" Canghu walked to the door and squinted slightly at the four of them and asked. He felt that some of the four of them were not good. Moreover, although these four people kept saying that they were in charge, their expressions and tones were a little disrespectful.

"Our Captain Qi said, I heard that you have a Cadiego animal skin in your hand, and he is willing to buy it for a blue gold coin. Hurry up and take it out, and we'll go back and pay for it." Bald Aso looked Canghu up and down a few times, and said with a big grin.

Yan Pengyu's face immediately changed, Qi Yangdong was not a subordinate of the Yan family, but only shouldered the task of escorting the caravan, and in matters that had nothing to do with escorting the caravan, although he was the leader of the caravan, he had no right to interfere.

"We don't sell Cadigo hides, please go back and talk to Captain Qi. Canghu said lightly, "We don't sell it for as much as it costs." ”

Bald Asa's face sank, and he glared at Canghu and said, "You dirty guy, don't think that you know the big shopkeeper and you are one level higher than us." This is our Captain Qi's private matter, and he can't take care of it as a big shopkeeper! I advise you, honestly take out the animal skin, and take away a blue gold coin. No matter how crooked it is, we won't let you get a single copper!"

"Aren't they your subordinates, brother?" Canghu turned his head and asked Yan Pengyu.

"They are the guards hired by our caravan, there are ten people, and the leader is Qi Dongyang. Yan Pengyu said, "You don't have to worry about anything. Yan Pengyu was ruthless in his heart, after returning to the city this time, he must not cooperate with Qi Dongyang and these people in the future.

Canghu turned his head to look at the four of them, and the four of them said triumphantly: "Hear clearly, the big shopkeeper can't control us in this matter!"

"Breaking into people's houses, extorting property, threatening with the intention of robbery, and killing according to the law is not guilty!" Yan Pengyu said in a deep voice, "Bald Asa, have you thought about it?"

The four of them were stunned when they heard this, and when they thought about it, Dongling Village, a poor and remote place, the villagers didn't even have a better saber, even if there were hunters, how strong could the force be? But listen to Yan Pengyu's meaning......

"We're not scared, big shopkeepers. Bald Aso sneered, "A group of dirty people, Lao Tzu tied one hand and beat them all over the ground looking for teeth!"

With a sharp stabbing sound, a feather arrow pierced the muddy ground between the legs of the bald Asa, and half of the arrow body had already sunk into the ground, making a "buzzing" trill. Bald Aso didn't react until this time, and jumped back in fright, only to see that at some point, there was a person standing on the roof, aiming at them with a bow and arrow. Without waiting for Aso to speak again, five people also appeared on the courtyard walls on both sides, all of them armed with bows and arrows, aiming at them.
