Chapter 173: Caravan
The little fat man said with a slumped face: "It's just a shortcut, there's no need to criticize and write." ”
Sui Yan said: "Bai Yan idiot!"
"Old Five, I'm your fourth brother!" the little fat man jumped to his feet.
"Hmph. Sui Yan turned his face away, he didn't bother to talk to him.
"It's really the opposite, Sui Xiaoshi, don't think that you are now at the sixth order, brother and I am now at the fifth order, my brother will be afraid of you!" The little fat man felt that his pride had been hurt and was very dissatisfied.
"Then let's fight!" The taciturn Sui Yan will only show his other side when facing these few people.
"Phew, my brother is too lazy to bully the small, you are waiting, when my brother can't bear it, he will naturally make a move, and my brother is even afraid of himself!" the little fat man fought back.
The group, laughing and laughing, gradually moved away from the imperial capital.
For many people, the departure of these few people gave them a long sigh of relief.
I don't know when it began, these five young people who were not particularly famous in the top prince circle of the imperial capital have become nightmarish existences for many people.
This time, the Wei family suffered heavy losses, and all the dark piles in the imperial capital were almost uprooted and wiped out!
Up to now, the Wei family naturally found out who did it, but found that these people who did it all seemed to be born out of thin air, and they had nothing to do with the Xu family, the Liu family, and the Sui family.
So even if they knew that they did it, the Wei family could only suffer this dumb loss.
Prime Minister Wei Feng was sick and had not been to the court for two days, and it was said that he was very sick.
In addition, the imperial court received a war report from the north, and the war in the north was tight, and the entire court was shrouded in a tense atmosphere for a while, so naturally no one paid too much attention to the Wei family's bad luck.
The Korean Empire has been preparing to move in the north, and has harassed the borders of the Firmament Empire over the years, if it weren't for Xu Ji guarding the frontier, I'm afraid that the war would have happened long ago.
Now that the war in the south has calmed down, the Firmament Kingdom unexpectedly beat back the army of the Great Yan Empire at a very small cost, and the Great Yan Empire has been broken and weakened, and it has been difficult to recover for more than ten years. The Korean Empire was suddenly a little anxious.
They originally hoped that the Great Yan Empire would be able to join them in attacking the north and south and completely dividing the sky.
I didn't expect the Great Yan Empire to be so incompetent, and it didn't even cross the boundament of the border, so it was beaten back.
It is impossible to count on Dayan, but the voice of the main battle in the Korean Empire, which is fierce, is still very high, especially the Korean military, which is even more on the book together to fight this fight.
Hao Liancheng, who has now become the number one person in the Korean military, is even more eyeing the rich sky.
The whole of the Northern Army is also jealous of the military exploits of the Southern Army, and the voice of the demand for war is very loud, this kind of emotion, even Xu Ji does not dare to suppress it easily, and it is impossible to suppress it.
Therefore, when Xu Luo and the others left the imperial capital, they received a secret letter from the palace, asking the five of them to wait for an opportunity in the north to assist Xu Ji, the general of Zhenguo.
Of course, Xu Luo would not refuse this request, to help his father and brother, even if there was no emperor's will, he would do it.
There is a lot of material in his storage ring, and now there are a lot of materials, which are enough to raise the equipment of the Northern Army to a higher level, if it is in peacetime, Xu Luo will not take them out, but this is a critical moment.
Xu Luo didn't want to repeat the Wansong Town tragedy ten years ago.
Although the war in the north is a little tight now, there are still many caravans going to the north, and Xu Luo and his team are mixed in it, and they don't look conspicuous.
It's just that compared to the large number of guards in other caravans, the guards of Xu Luo's team looked a little shabby.
"Brother, do you want us to take you with you?" said a middle-aged man at Huangfu.
Leaving the imperial capital for more than 50 miles, I met a very large caravan, this caravan had hundreds of carriages, and there were at least 3,000 guards alone, and from the perspective of equipment, all of them were very sophisticated, and the age of the guards was also in their twenties.
"Together?" Huangfu Chongzhi glanced at the middle-aged man and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, now the north is not peaceful, everyone is out to do business, together can be regarded as a care, you look at you, really come to the horse thief, you will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of the hand, it is better for us to be together, I believe that even if you meet a horse thief, you will not have any loss." The middle-aged man looked shrewd, looked at Huangfu Chongzhi and said with a smile: "As long as you give a thousand taels of silver, we will take you away!"
After a long time, it turned out to be the idea, Huangfu Chongzhi smiled gently, shook his head slightly, and refused: "Forget it, I don't want to hurt you." ”
Huangfu Chongzhi is naturally telling the truth, what kind of horse thieves and the like, they don't care at all, what really worries them is the back hand of Fengyue Tower. said that he didn't want to hurt others, and he also said it from the heart.
But this middle-aged man obviously wouldn't think so, seeing Huangfu Chongzhi's refusal, he smiled coldly, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
After going back, he got into a luxurious carriage, and the young man who fell on the soft couch and hugged the two beautiful women said without squinting: "Young master, they refused, and said that they didn't want to harm us." ”
"Refused?" The young man's hands kneaded in front of the chests of the two Mei Ji, and sneered: "I really don't know whether to live or die, so don't bother with them, go back and send someone to warn them, let them stay away, if they don't pay the money, stay away from us, don't try to take advantage!"
"What the young master said is, it's just that I don't think this team is simple, and we don't need to offend them. The middle-aged man said.
The young man Xu felt uncomfortable kneading through the clothes, so he directly stretched out his two hands into the clothes of the two Meiji, with a satisfied look on his face, and smiled coldly: "Forget it, then don't pay attention to them." ”
"Yes. The middle-aged man turned around and said goodbye, got out of the carriage, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Listening to the faint sound of laughter and gasping in the carriage, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately became gloomy, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, someone came to the middle-aged man's side, and the middle-aged man asked softly, "Have you investigated the origin of that team?"
The man replied: "It seems to be from the imperial capital, it may be the son of a certain family, it looks like he went to the fief and sealed it." ”
"Well, keep an eye on those people, they are real fat sheep!" the middle-aged man whispered, then glanced at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away from him, and sneered: "What an incompetent waste, rather than let him ruin the property left by his father, it is better to hand it over to us!"
The man said: "Yes, the Lord has always been too merciful, he has not touched them all these years, after the old owner died, the young owner family became more and more defeated, and now even running a caravan has to take a woman with him, it is really too much!"
The middle-aged man sighed: "Go back and leave him a life, prepare 10,000 taels of silver for him, no matter what, the old boss has treated us well all these years." ”
"The Lord is really kind, if it is small, this kind of waste, it will simply be fruited with a knife. The man smiled, and then said, "But don't worry, Lord, we are also seeking wealth." ”
The middle-aged man nodded, and then asked, "By the way, have you been contacted over there?"
The person next to him chuckled and said: "Rest assured, the big boss and the third boss have already been prepared, and after this vote, we can almost stop it!"
"That's good, although the war in the north is tight now, Xu Ji has no time to take care of us, but don't forget, there is also Xu Su's miscellaneous!" The middle-aged man said this, his eyes shot a glint of hatred, and he said hatefully: "Sooner or later, he will pay for his blood debts!"
"Yes, if it weren't for him, how would we be in such a miserable situation?"
"Okay, pay attention to the caravan in the back, when the time comes, even they will do it together!" the middle-aged man said lightly.
......
"Big brother, have you noticed that the middle-aged man just now has a murderous aura on his body?" The little fat man said to Huangfu Chongzhi with a straight face: "I can smell that the bloody aura on his body is very heavy, this person should be a master, but on the contrary, he dressed himself up as a steward in a caravan, which is a little strange." ”
"It's not surprising, this guy is supposed to be a guy who kills a lot. In the carriage, Xu Luo's voice came.
The little fat man asked a little strangely: "Third brother, you didn't see it again, how do you know Lu Dao?"
"Huh. Xu Luo chuckled from the carriage, and did not answer him, but said: "Anyway, while we are on guard against the killer of Fengyue Tower, we must also guard against this person, I don't think he is a good person." ”
"Look...... I don't know where you saw it. The little fat man muttered, and then said, "But I don't think this man is a good person." ”
Xu Jie frowned slightly, and said, "You guys are a little careful, aren't you? It's just the manager of a caravan, and if you want to do something good with us, what's so terrible?"
"Second brother, do you want us to make a bet?" Xu Luo sat in the car and said with a smile: "If this person has no problem, I will lose you a hundred catties of top-grade refining materials!"
"Really?" Xu Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, he knew very well that Xu Luo must have a lot of good things in his hands, and these things were incomparable to his temptation.
"Of course. Xu Luo said with a smile.
"Okay, just bet, I don't think there's anything wrong with him!" Xu Jie said, looking at Huangfu Chongzhi: "What do you say?"
Huangfu Chongzhi thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel anything abnormal, but we can't take it lightly, it's better to be careful." ”
In a flash, thirteen days have passed, and Xu Luo and the others have already left the imperial capital for more than 1,500 miles.
As the sun set, the clear blue sky began to darken, and the large caravan in front of it had begun to stop, forming all the vehicles in a large circle, laying down the border, and the others began to make fires and cook in the circle.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Like thousands of horses trampling on the ground, the whole earth trembled.
Almost everyone was alert at this moment.
In the caravan in front, there was a roar: "Enemy attack!"
