Chapter 380: Attacked
For this gang of bandits, the garrison guard group of Rey County is also powerless, they have organized many encirclement and suppression, but this group of bandits is extremely cunning, and several times they have ended in fiasco.
These bandits were very clever, they would send men to join the caravans in advance, confirm the value of the goods, and once it was worth the shot, they would ambush them in advance, and then attack quickly, and if they succeeded, they would immediately flee far into the forests of the Birch River, and no one could find them.
This time, they had their eyes on Uncle Ouyang's caravan, and the hooded man was their man, who had joined Uncle Ouyang's caravan two years earlier.
This time, Uncle Ouyang transported all the best wine, a full five truckloads and thirty barrels, according to the market price, more than 300,000 taels.
For this reason, they did strict secrecy, except for a few people who knew the truth, the other guards thought that they were pulling inferior red wine.
Unfortunately, the hooded man is one of those in the know.
He has an inexplicable relationship with Ouyang Fei'er, he has outstanding appearance, his mouth is very sweet, and he easily approached Ouyang Fei'er, and the details of the goods this time are likely to be revealed to him by Ouyang Fei'er.
In fact, it was rumored in the caravan that he and Ouyang Fei'er had rolled over the sheets, and it was possible that they would be the young owners of the caravan in the future, and this time he was able to drive Dao Lin out of the caravan, and he also instigated him many times by Ouyang Fei'er's side, and he would definitely contribute to the reward for meritorious deeds.
"You said you were all kicked out by that caravan, what do you care about them?" Long Xiaonian asked puzzled.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Uncle Ouyang's affection, just this Ouyang Fei'er, it doesn't matter how many times I die, it doesn't matter to others, but Uncle Ouyang, I can be saved!" Dowling snorted coldly and said.
"Then tomorrow you will follow them and help them when they are attacked?" Long Xiaonian said.
Dowling sighed and looked out the window, he was hesitating whether to inform Uncle Ouyang now.
"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door, and Dao Lin withdrew his gaze, gave Long Xiaonian a hidden look, and then walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door, the innkeeper stood respectfully, and when he saw Dowling open the door, he hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, the shop has prepared a sumptuous dinner, and I hereby invite you downstairs to the banquet." ”
Seeing that Dowling hesitated, the boss continued: "In order not to disturb you, the other guests in the hotel have already checked out, you can rest assured that dinner is only yours." ”
The occupants of this room are the existence that the garrison and escort group can't provoke, others don't know, but the owner of this inn knows, and in order to make Daolin happy, he deliberately drove away the other guests.
"That's so thankful, all the expenses are included in my room bill." Dowling did not refuse, others respected him, and he naturally had to give the other party the corresponding face.
When I came to the first floor, I saw that the long table was full of sumptuous dinners, and the specifications were not inferior to the important holiday celebrations.
The shopkeeper, the proprietress and Dowling began to have dinner together, they pushed cups and cups, and the three of them talked and laughed.
He drank until late at night, when he returned to the room, as soon as he entered the room, he fell asleep directly on the bed, and was kicked out of bed by Long Xiaonian who was lying on the bed.
There was nothing to say all night, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark, rubbing his sleepy eyes, Daolin woke up suddenly, patted his head hard, and secretly scolded himself for drinking and making mistakes.
He woke up Long Xiaonian, who was lying on the bed in a large font, and the two of them washed up briefly, and then hurried downstairs.
The shopkeeper hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't bother to say goodbye, so he took out twenty taels of silver ingots from his ring and put them on the bar, thinking that the money would be enough for last night's dinner.
rushed all the way to Uncle Ouyang's mansion, and only the white-haired old man on crutches was left in the empty courtyard cleaning the courtyard.
As soon as I inquired, I learned that the caravan had left for the Birch River Forest early this morning, and it should have been about to enter the forest when the time was calculated.
Dowling was annoyed, and he only wished he could catch up with them.
He hurried desperately, and when he passed by a shop selling horses, he threw out a hundred taels of silver tickets, and ran away without looking.
Dowling rode a horse, Long Xiaonian sat in front of him, she was still sleepy at this time, but the violent swaying made her unable to sleep at all, and she was very angry for a while.
Rushing out of Rey County, there was an open field in front of him, and there were many caravans coming and going at this time, and Dowling couldn't raise his speed at all, so he had no choice but to gallop on the land on the side, and the dust splashed up provoked the passing caravans to scold.
After an hour or so, the terrain began to rise, and a huge mountain range appeared in view, and all I could see were green trees.
The caravan gradually decreased, and there were only a few teams walking slowly as far as the eye could see, but these were not Uncle Ouyang's teams.
"We have to speed it up." Dao Lin was a little anxious in his heart, it was close to noon at this time, and Uncle Ouyang, who had set off early in the morning, must have entered the forest.
Without further hesitation, Dowling whipped again, and the horses rushed towards the forest at a gallop.
The Birch River Forest, a natural vast forest, is spread all over the surrounding area hundreds of miles wide, and the trees are luxuriant, towering to the sky, making people daunting.
The five carriages moved slowly, and the guards were talking and laughing.
"Fei'er, I heard that your relationship with Dong Fengyue is developing very quickly, right?" On the first car, Uncle Ouyang said to Ouyang Fei'er.
Ouyang Fei'er's face turned red, she twisted her head away, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Father, don't listen to those guys chewing on the root of their tongues, my daughter doesn't." ”
"Hahaha... Seeing that you don't look like no, you are not young anymore, there is nothing wrong with pursuing your own happiness, Dong Fengyue's appearance is reasonable, and his skills are okay, but he has not been able to awaken the martial arts, and he will ...... in the future" Uncle Ouyang sighed.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we complete this business, the caravan can recruit more warriors in the future, so that we can also be more relaxed." Ouyang Fei'er began to look forward to a bright future in her mind.
Uncle Ouyang nodded, he is old, and the caravan will have to rely on his daughter in the future.
Not far from their carriage, Dong Fengyue was riding a horse, his eyes fell on Ouyang Fei'er, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Little beauty, tonight will be an unforgettable night, I hope you will enjoy it."
It had been two hours since they entered the forest, and there was only one caravan left around.
"Let's check if the goods are secure." Uncle Ouyang shouted.
The guards in the other four carriages turned around and carefully examined the ropes that bound the barrels.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking the air came, and everyone was startled and hurriedly looked for the source of the sound.
In the carriage, one of the guards who was inspecting the cargo slowly turned around, and a sharp arrow pierced his chest, and blood continued to drip down the arrow.
His eyes widened, and he touched the arrow with his hand in disbelief, and he could not have imagined why he had been hit by the arrow.
Gradually, the pain came, and he let out a terrible wail, and fell off the carriage and was silent.
