Chapter 25: The Caravan Under Attack
"Xiao Wu, maybe I didn't tell you. "www.biquge.info The girl's breath hit the crow's ears through the masked cloth, making his ears itch for a while. The crow sighed, patted the girl's back and said, "The strength is to their extent, in such a small space, unless you directly knock the code on my eardrum, they can hear clearly how you speak, so, whispering in my ear, in addition to showing that we are stingy, it has no effect, it is better to say it generously, it seems that we are very open." ”
"Yes, Lord. Xiao Wu in purple was stunned for a moment, knelt down on one knee and lowered her head and whispered, "My subordinates have not thought it through, please punish the lord." ”
"Get up. The crow patted the girl on the head, "Let me introduce you, these two are the high-ranking mercenaries we hire, two, this is Fujiwara Mai, the chief of the city guard, and my personal guard." ”
"Is your surname Fujiwara? Rose said meaningfully, "No wonder you said that the Supervision Department is also secretly biased towards you, but this can't be said to be secret." ”
"Hehe, Mr. Fujiwara is still very upright. The crow gestured to Xiao Wu, "Say, Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
"Lord, the convoy from Sangmacheng is here, led by Miss Lu. Xiao Wu's exposed eyebrows were twisted together, and she said in a deep voice, "They have been attacked and have suffered heavy losses. ”
"Huh?" the smile on the crow's face froze slightly for a moment, and he said thoughtfully, "Attack by the wolves?"
"Yes. Xiao Wu nodded, "It is said that at least more than two hundred black wolves launched an ambush at noon. ”
"Heh, the guards of the Sun family all eat white food. The crow sneered, "Do you dare to break into a place like the Dark Canyon, do you think you have a long life?
"They were indeed ambushed in the Dark Canyon. Xiao Wu responded, "Two fully loaded trucks were lost, the Sun family lost twelve guards, Miss Lu was slightly injured, and Sun Wei of the Sun family was seriously injured, but there was no danger to life." ”
"I see. The crow lowered his eyelids and was silent for a while, then suddenly regained his smile and said, "I'm sorry, two ladies, there was a little accident in the city, I need to go over and see for myself, I wonder if the two of you are interested in joining in the fun?"
"Yes. The female leopard lay on the table and said lazily, "Seeing you eat deflated is the biggest interest for me." ”
"Since Xiaohuo wants to go and see, let's go. Rose was the first to stand up, and as she passed by the crow, she left a fluttering sentence, "However, the accident in your mouth is really an accident?"
"Hehehehehe. The crow shrugged noncommittally and put on his black coat in an inviting gesture, "Two ladies, please." ”
"Thank you. Rose gently grabbed the crow's outstretched arm.
Only then did the crow see that Rose was carrying a slender leather case in her right hand, which was by no means the long-range firearm she was used to in the information, and judging from the shape, it could only hold a slender barrel at most.
Finding that the crow looked at the suitcase in his hand curiously, Rose smiled faintly and said softly: "It's just a little hobby, nothing special, I think, this time there is no time to use weapons." ”
"Of course. The crow looked away, "Please." ”
By the time I walked out of the hotel, it was already dark, and the street lamps stretched out in two rows along the road, outlining the city's inner road network. Brocade City is just a small city, the nightlife is not rich, only the commercial streets on both sides of the main road are still brightly lit, and the farther residential areas are dimly lit, many people have gone to bed early, and the time is not yet nine o'clock, and the city falls into the silence of the night.
As soon as they left the hotel, a black car stopped in front of the three of them, and Xiao Wu, who was dressed in purple, got out of the cab and opened the door for the three of them. Knowing that the matter was urgent, Rose and the female leopard stopped talking nonsense, and quickly got into the car, led by Xiao Wu, and walked through the brocade city at night.
There was an awkward silence in the car, no one spoke again, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, silently watching the retreating scenery outside the window.
The small city does not take much time on the road, and after only a few turns, the car stops in front of two large iron gates along a high fence.
There is only a lone street lamp in front of the door, and the dim light can only illuminate a small space in front of the door under the darkness, but from the gap in the iron door, you can see the bright light inside, and the shaking light shows that the inside is not calm.
Without waiting for Xiao Wu to open the door, the three of them had already jumped out of the car by themselves, the crow pointed to the iron door, and didn't bother to knock on the door again, so he raised his leg and jumped directly on the spot. With a height of less than three meters, for a high-ranking mercenary, it was indeed just a matter of lifting his legs, and as soon as the crow landed, two ladies had already appeared beside him, as if they had never moved just now.
"It's the first time I've seen a city lord who climbed over the wall like a thief in his own home. Rose carried the suitcase behind her back and said mockingly, "You don't usually rely on this to enter your people's houses. ”
"In some particular case, it did go in this way. The crow pushed his glasses and smiled ambiguously, "But most of the time, you still have to go through the front door." ”
"Huh", the purple shadow flashed, and Xiao Wu reappeared behind the crow, standing there silently like his shadow.
"Let's go, this is the Sun family's freight center. The crow pointed ahead and said, "The rest of the convoy in Sangma City is parked in front. ”
"Can you talk about it now?" Rose and the female leopard walked beside the crow left and right, watching with interest Xiao Wu's coordinated steps behind the crow, and after watching for a while before turning her attention away, Rose asked in a low voice, "All we know now is that your wolf pack seems to be a little out of control and attacked a convoy, is that so?"
"Ahem, I didn't raise that wolf pack, let alone my wolf pack. The crow coughed dryly and said, "Let's elaborate, the Sangma City controlled by the Lu family is our neighbor of Brocade City, and it is only two days and two nights drive from Brocade City, and each other is the most important trading partner of the other party. In addition to the abundant silk of both cities, the forging and weapons manufacturing industry of our Dacade City is slightly stronger, while the light industry of Sangma City is a little more productive, so there are frequent caravans between the two cities to compensate for the lack of productivity of each other. ”
"Then this should be the business of the Du family, who is in charge of trade. Rose asked with interest, "Why did you have anything to do with the Sun family who was in charge of something?"
"On the contrary, because the two cities are too close, it can no longer be regarded as a simple intercity trade, but more like an internal cooperation, so the transactions with the Lu family are all contacted by the Li family, who is in charge of light industry, and the Sun family, who is in charge of weapons and forging, the most important of which is the Sun family. ”
"It's funny. Rose nodded thoughtfully, "Looking at it this way, it is indeed a coincidence and a coincidence." ”
