Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sand Thieves Attack

"Alice, are they back?" Meng Han hadn't thought about anything else at all for so many days in a row. As soon as I was done, I heard the good news and couldn't help but jump high: "Where? How is it? Are they all back safely?"

"Yes, my lord, they are all back safely!" Grace's heart warmed slightly with the words of the lord's greeting. Adults don't ask how many gold coins they bring back, they first ask if it's safe, this affection is enough for them to remember for life.

The twins at the scene were not the only Grace, and there were many who heard Meng Han's questioning. Everyone seems to have the same mind, such an adult is worth everyone's life to follow.

"Let's go, let's see!" Alice returned, and Grace came over with a happy face, which must be good news. And there seems to be only one good news that Alice can bring, that is, the batch of artworks of the elves has been sold.

followed Grace all the way, but instead of going back to the lord's mansion, he went directly to the basement where Grace and Alice personally supervised the storage of gold coins. It was a hidden place, and there were layers of handles.

"My lord!" Alice was also very happy when she saw Meng Han, stood up and curtsied to Meng Han.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Meng Han looked at Alice's face full of happiness, and he was also in a very good mood. Today is simply three joys, the little witches of the elf clan left, Alice came back, and brought back good news, God of this world, he really treats himself well.

"Lose weight!" After greeting everyone, Meng Han's eyes focused on Alice's face again, just two words, which made Alice feel that her trip, even if it was hard, was worth it. In the eyes sockets, I was unconsciously a little moist, and my heart was also unusually warm.

"Everyone has worked hard!" Seeing that many people who went out came back, Meng Han was very happy, to be honest, Meng Han was still very worried about letting Alice run this time. Afraid that Alice would not be accepted by outsiders, and afraid that they would be threatened by thieves with a huge amount of property, Meng Han was truly relieved that he was back safely.

"Tell me the good news once and make me crazy with joy!" said cheerfully, opening his arms as if hugging everyone.

Alice and Joe didn't speak, but just moved out of the way, and then, the guards who followed behind them, also stepped to the sides, revealing the golden yellow they had been covering.

"Oh!" Meng Han exclaimed exaggeratedly, then reached into his mouth, and made a big whistle, and then in the stunned eyes of everyone, an arrow stepped in front of the pile of glittering gold coins, and with a beautiful hen holding the nest, he brought a large pile of gold coins under his arm.

A group of people wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, looking at Meng Han's exaggerated appearance, they endured it for a while, and then they couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing. Hahahaha, the whole basement is full of everyone's unbridled and happy laughter. Meng Han also realized how indecent his actions were just now, and was driven by everyone's laughter, sitting on the pile of gold coins, and laughing happily.

The sound of joyful laughter rushed out of the basement and floated into the sky. And a cloud in the sky seemed to sense everyone's heartfelt joy, cracking a huge smiling face in the sky.

After laughing for a while, everyone's voices slowly lowered. Joe looked at the situation and gestured to the guards, but no one said much and left. Only Meng Han and her two personal maids and two butlers were left here.

"Is it going well to go out?" Meng Han once again began to care about Alice's trip this time, just as parents care about their children who go out for the first time.

It was impossible for Meng Han not to care, Alice had also talked to others about trading at the recent market, and they were all small transactions, the first time she let her go out to see the prosperity of the capital, and it was such a big business, how could she not be worried?

"Everything is going well, my lord. Alice was also immersed in excitement, it was the first time she had made such a big deal, and she had successfully sat down, all the way thinking about how to report to the lord, and now it was really time to report, but she didn't know where to start, she could only wait for the lord to ask her answer.

"How many gold coins did you bring back in total?" Meng Han finally asked about the number. There are a lot of them, and there are hundreds of them, only a few more. Meng Han had never seen so many gold coins? Even if the people present combined, it was estimated that they had never seen so many gold coins.

"It's five hundred and thirty-two, my lord. As for the number of gold coins, Alice has long been on the road I don't know how many times, I can't wait to go to a place to rest and count it, how can I not know.

"Fifteen swords, more than five hundred gold coins, an average of more than thirty gold coins for one sword, very good. "It's very good, but in fact, Meng Han is already a little surprised. I didn't expect that those flashy things of the elf clan could really be sold at such a high price, and the average sword already looked like more than 300,000 yuan. As soon as he thought of this, Meng Han was very much looking forward to seeing the little witch's face after hearing the news.

Thinking about it, Meng Han didn't dare to really put it into practice. Not to mention whether the elves will agree, even if the elves dare to give it, Meng Han may not dare to ask for it. Elven things, is it so easy to take? I almost lost my bones, and that scene is still vivid, how can I forget it.

Besides, there are so many gold coins, but he doesn't have the corresponding strength to protect him, and if a few thieves come to Meng Han, he will have to walk around without food. If you let outsiders know that you have so many gold coins, then why don't you turn the whole of Huangsha Town over?

"Well done, Alice!" At this time, Meng Han would never be stingy with his praise words, just a simple compliment made Alice happier than anything else.

"Let's go back and celebrate!" "When you are happy, you must celebrate, Meng Han happily grabbed everyone and went straight to the lord's mansion.

Outside the basement, he met Qiao and Zhu, Meng Han didn't say a word, and left with him. The two didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly asked. Waiting for Meng Han to explain the situation, Qiao and Zhu shook their heads at the same time. Qiao stood up and respectfully saluted Meng Han with a knight: "My lord, there are so many gold coins here, we have to take care of them carefully!"

At this time, he didn't forget his duties, what else could Meng Han say, he just nodded with relief and patted Qiao's thin shoulder: "Good job, Qiao!" I don't know how, Meng Han always felt that Qiao seemed to be dodging Meng Han's hand, but in the end he held back and didn't move when Meng Han's hand fell on his shoulder.

Meng Han didn't feel too abnormal, the master may be like this, always guarding against other people's attacks, it is normal to have this kind of reaction. This also shows from the side that Joe is really a master knight!

This night, Meng Han didn't make a big fuss, because Grace was very sensible and persuaded Meng Han not to let too many people know about these things, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble. Meng Han was as good as a stream, and at night, he was the only one who ate and drank quietly in Meng Han's lord's mansion with two little maids and two housekeepers, and celebrated a little.

With money, he can just do some things he wants, and when Meng Han was thinking about whether to bring some people over first or start building the castle first, Grace appeared at the door of the lord's mansion with a mercenary a little nervously.

"My lord, this gentleman said that he has important information to report to your lordship!" said Grace, but it is estimated that the mercenary has already revealed some of it to her, otherwise Grace would not have looked like this.

"Oh, what kind of news?" Meng Han was a little surprised, what news could these mercenaries have at this time? However, he didn't put this emotion on his face, but asked very kindly.

"My lord, I don't know if you've heard of sand pirates in the desert. As soon as the mercenary spoke, he mentioned the sand pirates.

"Of course!" How could Meng Han not know, just living on the edge of the desert, who would not have heard of sand thieves? It's just that Huangsha Town used to be poor jingle, and there was a twin curse, no sand thief would be stupid enough to come to Huangsha Town to rob. Their "customers" are basically some caravans that cross the desert, and they are all big business, and they don't look down on small people. Even with so many mercenaries looking for treasure, I haven't seen them say how they encountered sand pirates.

"It is said that the sand thieves have taken a fancy to the things in your hands this time, my lord!" The mercenary was also a happy person, and directly told Meng Han the news he had heard: "Yesterday we came back from the desert, and we heard a few sand thieves riding horses saying that something valuable appeared in Huangsha Town this time, and in just the past few days, it is estimated that they will come to Huangsha Town." ”

"Is this true?" Meng Han finally understood why Grace had a worried look on his face, the reputation of sand thieves was not a good man and a woman on the edge of the desert, those guys were outlaws with their heads pinned to the waistband of their pants, as long as there were enough benefits, not to mention the twin curse, even if it was a quadruplet curse, they would be right.

"Have you heard when they will arrive, how many of them are there?" Meng Han asked the mercenary anxiously. No need to ask, it must have been Alice who made a lot of money by auctioning off the weapons of the elves in the capital, which is why it attracted these crazy sand thieves. That kind of auction is not a secret auction in the first place, and it is very normal for people to know the news. I believe that it will not be long before more people will know about the idea of playing those gold coins.

"I don't know, it should be these words. The mercenary shook his head, he just listened to the arrogant sand pirate pathfinders when he passed by, who knows when. However, the reputation of the sand pirates is very great, and there is a number of people: "There are almost a hundred people, all of them are a group of outlaws." ”

"Grace, take this brother to a good treat. Meng Han gave Grace a look, he didn't need to give detailed instructions for this kind of trivial matter, I believe that Grace will be able to handle it properly: "When you come back, call Alice, Joe and Zhu." "When there are many people, we can negotiate a good solution.

After a moment of thought, Grace brought Alice and the two captains of the guard. Meng Han motioned to Grace to explain the situation first, and then turned to Qiao and Zhu: "How about it, what should I do when this kind of thing happens?"

"Let's fight, my lord!" Qiao didn't think about it, and directly answered Meng Han's question: "Although we take the gold coins and run away, even if we run into the elven forest, those deserts dare not chase in, but from now on, Huangsha Town will not be at peace." The sand thieves knew we were scared and would come to bother them regularly, but now that someone has informed us in advance, there will be no such opportunity in the future. ”

Joe is right, everyone can imagine the viciousness of those sand thieves, and the situation when they see the benefits and kill them. In the past, the poor had a rotten life, and they didn't even care about themselves, but now everyone just has a little hope, will they be strangled by these sand thieves?

"We have to fight!" Meng Han didn't want the foundation he had worked so hard to build would be ruined by sand thieves. This is simply to cut off people's money, and cutting off people's money is like killing parents, how can Meng Han tolerate it: "And you want to beat those sand thieves, and they won't dare to come again!" Qiao, Zhu, what are your plans?"

"How do you want to fight?" Qiao and Zhu looked at each other, Zhu still didn't speak as usual, and Qiao was responsible for communicating with Meng Han.

"Is there a difference in how to fight?" Meng Han didn't know Qiao's intentions very well in this regard, so he asked in particular.

"Do you want them to retreat, or do you want to destroy their living force?" Don't look at Qiao who is thin and small, but he actually has a lot of appetite, and he directly wants to annihilate the other party's living force. However, this style, Meng Han likes!

"Kill as much as you can! It's better to let them come and not go back!" Meng Han was also very angry, as soon as he was a little angry, someone wanted to come to the door to snatch it, really thinking that he was a soft persimmon? Recently, his magic power has risen sharply, and his mental power has skyrocketed, so that Meng Han has a lot of confidence, and he has a lot of confidence in speaking.

It would be nice if the people of the elven clan hadn't left, Meng Han suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the little witch. It's not that she misses the little witch, but she misses the identity of the little witch as a magistrum, and I believe that as long as she makes a move, not to mention a hundred or so sand thieves, it will be ten times more, which is what she waved her hand for.

"That requires the full support of adults, and ......" Qiao hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "and it takes a lot of money." ”

"Use as much as you want!" Meng Han would not be stingy with a little bit of gold coins at the critical moment: "If you don't have money, you can make it again, and if you don't have a life, where can you find it!
