Chapter 289: Out of the Fort
Out of the fort
It can be said that the direction is largely correct.
It's just that he doesn't know that the Du family, with the strength of the landlords of the Xingyang Empire, has repeatedly tolerated the Long family, which has only settled in this realm for decades, because of the Tiankui Hall, and at the root, it is because the Du family doesn't just want to defeat the Long family, but has been planning to replace it and become the master of the Tiankui Hall, so as to completely rely on the big tree of Yaomen.
This is called the great one who is pictured.
It's just that, in this way, he has to wait, he must wait for that thing to completely pass before their Du family can do it, otherwise, they will take the initiative to step forward to block bullets and be cannon fodder, this kind of thing, with the shrewdness of the Du family master, how can he do it?
Therefore, before that matter was settled, the Du family still blindly wanted to peacefully merge the business of the Long family, first cut off its wings, and then seek its backbone. Therefore, all along, the Du family first tried their best to win over the Long family, and after confirming the truth of their news, they turned friends into enemies, and with their strong strength, they compressed the Long family step by step, and finally limited their power to Amano City, and then tried to take down the last five stores in Longjia City in one fell swoop, so as to completely make the Dragon family have the false name of Tiankuitang. This step by step, one ring after another, boiled frogs in warm water, is to consider that before the matter is thoroughly understood, the Du family does not want to be forced too tightly, otherwise, if the Long family stacks up in advance, he has planned a plan for nearly a hundred years, and he really doesn't know who will be cheaper in the end.
......
In the room, the three men, Xiang Qian, Mr. Cui and Wu Jiangtou, couldn't think of a good move for a while, so they lost their voices and fell into deep thought.
"Young Master," a weak voice came, but it was Rui'er.
"Well, what?" Xiang Qian was slightly stunned, not knowing what would happen to Rui'er at this time.
Rui'er blushed and said, "Young Master, for a while, in order to find you, I went to Yellowstone Fort several times, once or twice, and even, even went out of the fort to find two or three miles away......
Cui and Wu were shocked. Yellowstone Fort, which is another fortified fortress on a par with Bluestone Fort. Since the Long family settled in Amano City, in the past few decades, there has been almost no one who dares to take a risk out of the castle. This little girl, for the sake of the young master, really doesn't even want her own life?
Rui'er said: "I remember that on both sides of the official road that has been abandoned for many years, there are a lot of medicinal herbs. ”
......
The two heavy and tall gates were slowly pushed open by six strong soldiers left and right, and a team of more than 10 carts, dozens of horses, and more than 50 people slowly drove out of the gate of Yellowstone Fort, crossed the suspension bridge, crossed the relatively wide moat, and went into the distance.
At the front of the team, there were two tall horses, riding Xiang Qian and Chief Cui respectively. Behind the two, one on the left and one on the right, they were a little old man in his fifties and a middle-aged man with an extra-large wine gourd hanging from his waist.
The little old man's surname is Ou, called Ou Xinggong, and he is good at hidden weapons, and the middle-aged man is called Shen Gang, and the extra-large fine iron gourd is his blade and magic weapon. These two are the two leaders of the 24 scattered cultivators who have been quietly recruited by Wu Jiangtou in the past ten days.
This simple job not far from the fort, according to the market price, recruit a traveler, and only need to pay a day and a half of Yuan Jing every day. For this secret operation, the price code for three days was issued in front of the direction, so what else is there to say, of course, it is the best of the best.
At this moment, escorted by these 24 wanderers, plus a number of handlebar-style and shopkeepers, the team of more than 50 people finally drove out of Yellowstone Fort smoothly.
Turning his head forward to look at the fortress that was gradually moving away, good fellow, outside the heavy gable wall that was six or seven zhang high, one by one two meters long "giant swords" took the gable as the handle, and each handle pierced the sharp blade out of the gable, or obliquely down, or obliquely, or straight and lung-lung forward, and from a distance, it looked as if it had poked countless toothpicks on the gable.
However, before the direction, I knew that these arrangements were all prepared to guard against the attack of the orcs.
Obediently knock, there are so many "knife" pestles on the wall, what kind of monster will be full of food and hold on to climb this knife mountain?
Joke!
I really admired the people who designed and built this fortress, and it is no wonder that it has been peaceful for more than 100 years.
......
Under Rui'er's guidance, the team didn't travel more than three miles, and sure enough, they found a large area of medicinal herbs, as if someone had deliberately planted them here - in fact, they had not been picked for many years and were naturally reproduced.
Within three days, more than a dozen carts were full, and everyone was elated.
Early in the morning, Xiang Qian instructed: "Chief Cui and Wu Jiaotou, you two take Rui'er and 12 loose cultivators, and escort these carts back first." Remember, when entering the city, you must keep a low profile, spread out, and do not ostentatiously pass through the city. Hey, hey, maybe, in a few days, we will have to come again, but we can't let others hear the wind and get ahead of us. ”
Rui'er looked in the direction, but she knew that the young master had something to do here to do, except for a few words such as "don't go too far" and "pay attention to safety", she didn't want to say anything, and returned with the large army step by step.
In front of the direction, he took Ou Xinggong, Shen Gang and other 12 remaining wanderers, and continued to move forward on horseback. In doing so, of course, you have your own plans before going forward. This time I went out to collect medicine, it can be said that near Huangshi Fort, the good picking, the easy picking, have been patronized by the party, the next time I come, but I have to run a long way, these days, I led these 12 people, elite soldiers and simple government, just to do the work of exploring the road.
Along the way, I silently remembered where I could shoot and where I could set up camp, where there were what medicinal materials, and where I needed to pay attention to what conditions? A group of 13 people stopped and walked, and they were not in a hurry to hurry, and before they knew it, they had traveled for another two days.
On this day, everyone came to a basin between mountains and forests, and their sight suddenly opened up, and at a glance, there was a cluster here and there in the basin, and there were large pieces of medicinal materials. Xiang Qian was overjoyed and said, "Could it be that this is a medicine basin, just wait for us to catch it next time." ”
It is estimated that this large piece of medicinal herbs will be harvested, and it will take more than 20 carts to come over, right?
"Shh," Ou Xinggong suddenly made a silent movement, turned over and dismounted, beckoned lightly to everyone, and walked forward cautiously with his waist bent. Everyone dismounted, took out their blades in their hands, spread them out in a fan shape, and cautiously approached a bush not far away.
Before the direction, his mind was completely focused on identifying these medicinal materials and evaluating the output of the entire medicinal herbs, but he didn't notice what Ou Xinggong and the others had discovered for a while, seeing that everyone was careful but they were all a little excited, they also hurriedly got off the horse and followed behind everyone.
