The fat man and his group of more than ten people, riding on a tall Supor horse (smuggled by the Lida family from Ruierdian), although there is no armor on his body,

But the special long sword on the waist and the fierce guard behind the fat man all show that the fat man's group of people is not good.

The caravans passing by on the mountain road tried their best to avoid the fat man's group of unknown cavalry, and occasionally some caravans that dared to pass by the fat man's horse team were also large caravans guarded by dozens of mercenaries, so they were naturally not afraid of the fat man's dozen people

It took more than two hours to get from Zhivadin to the exit at the southern end of the Sambuga hills.

For such a speed of travel, the fat man is still relatively satisfied,

"If you want to get rich, build roads first!"

This slogan, which was very loud in later generations, actually implies a deep truth,

The complicated and smooth roads are the blood of a region, and if the blood circulation is not smooth, this region is destined to not prosper, and if its own region wants to develop, it is inevitable to build a road connecting the four counties

The wide road not only attracted many caravans, but also connected the three regions of Samoor, Zhivadin, and Djerbo into an unobstructed triangle

Light infantry was stationed in the fortress of Samori, cavalry was stationed in Zhivadin, and hoplites were stationed in Djerpo.

The three regions are like an inverted triangle, centered on the commercial city of Zhivadin, which is well connected by roads and abundant material storage

As long as there is an enemy on either side, reinforcements and all kinds of supplies on the other two sides will arrive in half a day, which is the iron triangle defense system envisioned by the fat man

This time I went to the Djerbo area, the fat man was not only to ignite the fire of the alchemist, but another important reason was to inspect the Sambuga Mountain Road, which is the lifeblood of the iron triangle

Time is getting tighter, and the slightest slack can lay a hidden danger for your future

The sun had risen high in the sky, and the fat man was sweating profusely at noon in the hot June, and his clothes were soaked, so he had to find a shady place to rest first, and then continue his journey after the hot noon.

The fat man and the others found a lush and tall tree to sit at the fork in Djerbo to Zhivadin and Samori, and the dense and wide canopy of the tree covered the surrounding area of more than ten meters, forming a shade that was enough for more than ten people to rest.

Seeing the group of unidentified people squatting on the side of the road, the passing caravan became more cautious, slowed down the horse, cautiously passed from the side, and stared at the fat man with a pair of vigilant eyes, because this guy was obviously the head of the gang,

Everyone else just stood in the shade, cautiously looking at the passing cars and horses.

Only he, without any scruples, unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a white belly, sitting in the shade of a tree and fanning the wind, obviously looking like a rich man in the countryside

If it weren't for everyone's knowledge, the bandits and robbers who were eating on this mountain road would have been beaten clean by the Satromour recruits who came out for actual combat training, and they would have turned around and fled

Accidents always happen everywhere when you don't expect them,

In the afternoon, the sun began to wane, and the fat man, who had just taken a nap, stood up and patted the weeds on his buttocks, and a dozen or so guards around him were also putting the saddle on the horse's back

"Ga"

Three gorgeous carriages suddenly stopped in front of the fat man, the front one stopped very quickly, and the two horses in front almost brushed past the fat man,

The carriage came to a sudden stop and a gust of wind startled the fat man who was resting, and several guards immediately ran over, blocking the fat man with their own bodies, and clenched the hilt of the knife with their palms

"Hey, you mountain people, do you know where Zhivading City is going?"

There was no movement on the first carriage, no apologies for the almost crashing man

Then the curtain of the second carriage was opened, revealing a proud girlish face, wearing a white lace hat only worn by a noble maid, and looking at the fat man and the others with eyes full of disgust

For the recklessness that almost hit someone just now, the girl did not apologize in the slightest, but pursed her lips with her eyebrows slightly frowned, as if it was a kind of torture to look at the fat man and these people

"Mountain people?"

The fat man was stunned by the girl's shouting, and touched his white belly with his right hand dissatisfied, feeling too valuable,

Although he was stained with a lot of dust on the road, he should still be different from ordinary mountain people, who has ever seen a mountain man riding a precious Supor horse and carrying a steel saber?

At the very least, his dignity should be a mountain man at the level of a car bandit road tyrant leader, and being called a mountain man directly by others hurts the fat man's self-esteem too much

The fat man who likes yin people rolled his eyes, and instead of showing the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, he responded with an honor

"Zhivading City, the small one just came from there, and for the way to Zhivadin, the small one can touch it with his eyes closed, but ......"

The fat man didn't continue, showing a look of anticipation, and his eyes looked at the girl's face with lustful eyes.

The white-hat girl's face turned red when she was seen by the fat man, and she scolded the fat man indignantly

"What do you mountain people want to do! We are your lord's honored guests in Riwacheze, and even that hateful fat man of Satsuma will be polite when he sees us, and it is an honor for you untouchables to ask you for directions!

The fat man pretended to be startled by the girl's threat, touched his neck with a worried face, and said with a sneer

"If you want to cut off our heads, then we don't dare to say it! As for Zhivading City, you can find it slowly, this Sambuga Hill is said to have 999 forks in the road, and the Marquis Isa who committed suicide committed suicide because he walked into a fork in the road and couldn't turn around the mountain, there are many of you, you should be able to find the way if you go around more, and it will be there in ten days and half a month, and you should come to Sambuga for a tour."

"You, you ,......"

The white-hatted girl was speechless by the fat man's anger, and her eyes were almost angry and almost burst into flames, when a soft female voice sounded from behind the white-hatted girl,

"Tileni, stop messing around! Delay Miss's big business! Be careful that Miss will punish you again"

Next to the arrogant girl, a beautiful face with an elegant temperament was revealed, and the fat man who looked at it moved.

A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a maid's white lace hat on her head, her long flowing black hair draped over her round and fair shoulders, and a pair of watery eyes that seemed to be able to hook away people's souls, stretched out a fair and elegant hand from the car, holding a dazzling gold coin in her palm

"Kind man, I apologize to you for Tileni's rudeness just now, and I hope you can tell us the way to Zhivadin, and this gold coin will be my apology!"

"Well, that's pretty much it! since you're so sincere, I'll accept your apology."

The fat man wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his right hand, took the gold coin with a smile, and took the opportunity to touch it in the white fragrant hand, which was very soft and soft, and the frightened girl withdrew her hand with a frightened face, but she didn't expect this simple fat man to rub oil

"Follow this mountain road all the way to Zhivading City!"

The fat man pointed to the wide gravel road behind him with a wicked smile,

The two girls didn't expect the answer to be so simple, especially the arrogant girlish almost fainted out of breath, as the lady-in-waiting of the noble Miss Marquis of Nissa who had suffered from the idleness of these mountain dwellers,

Stretched out a white finger, pointed at the fat man's nose and scolded

"It's as simple as that, you dare to ask for a gold coin for directions!"

The fat man blew on the gold coin in his hand with a dead face, put it into his jacket pocket with peace of mind, and said with a sneer

"Why don't I dare to ask for the income of my own labor, it doesn't matter if you are willing to go around the mountains a few more times, the scenery of the Sambuga hills in June is very good!"

Looking at the distant carriage turning onto the right fork in the road, Lidarchus asked puzzled

"My lord, that fork in the road seems to be to Samor, and the one on the left is to Zhivadine, has your lord forgotten the way he came so quickly?"

"Zhivadin? Are they saying they're going to Zhivadin? I'm listening to Samoor!"

The fat man glanced at Lidakus playfully, and Lidakus was cold

"I've long heard that the size of the fat man in Satsuma is as small as the eye of a needle, and now it seems that this is not an empty rumor!"
