Chapter 314: Chickens and Rabbits in the Same Cage

"George, the old money fan says that you are a genius in business, and I just have something that I don't understand, would you like to help my uncle?" asked Lange, who suddenly turned to the pimple-covered young man.

"Uncle Lange, you are too polite, if you need anything, just give orders, the little nephew will do his best!" George said sideways to Lange.

"My chickens and rabbits are mixed in a cage, there are thirty heads from the top, and eighty-eight feet from the bottom, you help my uncle calculate, how many chickens and rabbits are in this cage?"

'George' couldn't help but be amused when he heard this question, and he thought of a funny explanation as he worked out the answer.

"There are sixteen chickens and fourteen rabbits in the cage!" 'George' gave the answer with a smile after a moment of pretense of deliberation.

"Hey, that's good! No wonder the old money fan will rest assured that you will come out to do business, you are really fast and accurate in arithmetic! It's just that I'm worried that I will encounter such a situation in the future, can you tell me how you calculate?"

"My method sounds a little childish, don't laugh at me when I say it!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say, I promise not to laugh!"

"I first asked these chickens and rabbits to raise a 'hand' to salute you, and you were very dissatisfied with their standing, so you glared at them fiercely, which frightened them, and they were all worried that you had cut off their heads, so they hurriedly raised another 'hand' to cover their heads. In this way, the remaining twenty-eight legs can only belong to the rabbits, and from this I can calculate the number of 'people' in each of them!" George said solemnly.

The old man and Lange were stunned when they heard George's words just now, and it took them a long time to understand the specific algorithm.

"Good boy, you are so naïve, you are clearly joking with your uncle!"

"You're funny, kid. Your uncle really didn't misunderstand you!" Lange patted George lightly on the shoulder, which was considered to recognize his identity.

The only suspicion has been ruled out for the time being. Langer urges the cart that has been replaced to move on, and the target is Ogden!

Here it is. Probably everyone has guessed that this so-called 'George' is made up by Li Zijun.

In order not to arouse Lange's suspicions, as soon as the convoy set off, Li Zijun casually found a carriage and hid in. He wanted to pretend to be asleep for a while, but the people in the car with him obviously didn't want him to be idle.

On the surface, they are pulling Li Zijun to talk, but in fact, almost all of their topics are knocking on the side around Li Zijun.

They did this for two purposes, one was to further verify Li Zijun's identity. The second is to prevent him from having the opportunity to understand the situation of Ogden's defense.

Fan Lunding and Li Zijun had been prepared for their 'cross-examination', and Li Zijun's answer was not leaky, and these people gradually and completely believed his identity.

At the same time, Li Zijun 'turned on' his sensory function to the maximum, silently observing the surrounding situation, recording the defensive pattern of the Fengqi army outside Ogden.

On the surface, it seems that the other party only sent about two dozen people from Gran, but in fact. For this pick-up, the other party sent at least 300 people this time.

They had been lying in ambush around the receiving place, closely monitoring Li Zijun's party.

And on the way over, Li Zijun also noticed. As soon as they crossed the Dongyu defense line, someone had been secretly passing their situation backwards continuously, and this Demps's caution was really not in vain!

As the convoy continues to move forward. Li Zijun also understood the reason why Ogden Ogden was able to become a hard thorn in Hengheng's heart in Dongyu!

Ogden is flanked by steep peaks that rise into the sky, even for mountain dwellers who have been living in the mountains for a long time. In such a place, it is also difficult to climb the rock.

Even so. Demps still arranged a few open posts and secret posts on the mountainside to further strengthen Ogden's defenses.

Through the sound of the wheels, Li Zijun unexpectedly discovered that there were five trenches four or five meters wide and three or four meters deep on the passage in front of Ogden Pass!

The middle of the trench was supported by wooden stakes, and the carriage passed over the wooden planks that covered it, and Li Zijun could still feel a slight tremble.

With such a discovery, Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly curse Dongwoo's intelligence officers, they didn't even know anything about such important information.

If Li Zijun launched an attack on Ogden without knowing anything, once the defenders cut off the supporting stakes and showed these five trenches, the Dongyu army would not only pay a huge price for this, but in the absence of necessary preparations, their capture of Ogden's Jihua would probably be completely ruined!

"Squeak quack!"

After a very shrill sound, Ogden's door was opened.

The intelligence officer's report on the material of the Ogden gate was finally correct this time, and the two gates were assembled from several iron plates, from the bottom to the top, step by step. After each section of assembly, the craftsmen put the prepared haode standard iron blocks in the cracks, then cast them with molten iron, and so on, to make these two cast-iron gates up to one meter thick.

If it weren't for the support of the rollers, Li Zijun really doubted that the mountain walls on both sides could withstand the weight of these two gates, and he also had to sigh at the wisdom of the Fengqi craftsmen.

But even so, the two gates still had to be helped by pulleys to reveal the gap for the carriage to pass.

Under the constant urging of the soldiers next to them, the group quickly entered the gate, and the gate was immediately closed. Hearing the heavy latch falling, Li Zijun completely dispelled the idea of breaking through this door to enter.

Although the carriage had been determined to be only five people, Li Zijun, the defenders in the pass still maintained the necessary vigilance against them, and did not have the usual laxity, which also allowed Li Zijun to once again see the rigor of Demps's army.

Not only did these ordinary soldiers sit on their backs, but Li Zijun also noticed that at the moment when the five of them entered Ogden, several masters had already targeted them separately.

Soon, these dozen or so carts were concentrated in a small area, and then four or five hundred soldiers poured out, leaving Li Zijun and the others in a hurry!

Could it be that his identity has been exposed? Li Zijun couldn't help but be shocked when he felt such a scene, but on the surface, he pretended not to be aware of it, and was supported by those 'friends' just now and jumped out of the carriage.

Li Zijun and the others had just jumped out of the carriage, and countless torches were immediately lit up around them, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.

Suddenly 'looking' at the soldiers standing in dense circles around him, 'George' was startled, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, until his back hit the carriage, and he had to stop. It's just that his pale face has exposed the fear in his heart!

"Lange, isn't this scene a little too big today?!" the old man asked Lange beside him, turning his head to Lange beside him.

Although the old man seems to be the calmest of the five, in fact, there are already monstrous waves in his heart!

Although the old man still didn't know Li Zijun's true identity, from the person behind him repeatedly admonishing him with a solemn expression, he had already guessed that the identity of this young man was not simple!

Seeing such a scene today, the old man's first reaction was that Li Zijun's identity was exposed, and he couldn't help but immediately think of what the person behind him, Zuihou, said to him:

"If 'George' makes any mistakes, I'm afraid I'll have to apologize with death!"

It was hard for the old man to believe that a nobleman with the status of a viscount would say such a thing!

Viscount, it may be nothing in Dongyu Capital, but in such a poor and remote place, it is definitely the supreme existence! The old man had never seen panic and panic in this person's eyes, but at that moment, the old man was very sure that this person was really scared!

What puzzled the old man the most was that he actually felt that this person was not worried about his life and death, but was afraid that the child's safety was threatened!

The old man had seen the Viscount's ruthlessness, and he could also think of what he would do to his family and his family before 'apologizing with death'.

Knowing all the consequences, the old man felt that even if he threw himself here today, he would never let 'George' be hurt in the slightest!

"Don't worry, brother!

"This time, the quantity and amount of goods are too large, our big boss has to personally inspect the goods, which makes the scene bigger, please don't be surprised! Brother, there is no way, I will definitely invite you to drink and apologize for your sins in a while!" Lange didn't know what the old man was thinking, he thought that the old man was worried about 'black eating black', and hurriedly explained to him.

"You big boss won't think about this, right?" the old man was still a little uneasy.

"No, absolutely not! Although our big boss is a woman, she is more arrogant than many men! In addition to inspecting the goods in person this time, the most important thing is to talk to you about the next step. Brother, I vouch with my life, brother, not only will you not be in any danger, but you will also make a fortune!"

"No matter how much money you have, you have to spend your life! I don't dare to have too many extravagant hopes, I just want to be able to leave alive this time, and I will be satisfied!"

Lange heard the old man's emotion, smiled and didn't say anything more, just stood with him and waited for the big boss to appear.

'George' and the other three gathered behind the old man while he was questioning Lange, and their faces were pale, obviously frightened by such a scene.

Not long after, the sergeants suddenly gave way to a passageway, and a graceful and luxurious lady slowly walked in from the outside under the stars and the moon.

This should be Demps's wife, right?" Li Zijun guessed in his heart.

This lady herself is a little old, but she can still be called 'dignified and beautiful,' and from the outward appearance she is no more than in her early thirties. And no matter how she behaves or dresses, she will give people a proper feeling, this is definitely a tasteful woman!

Looking at this woman, Li Zijun couldn't help but slander Demps in his heart. (To be continued......)
