Chapter 6 Fortune
Tutra County, the eastern province of the Kingdom of Rolik, Wind Valley Gorge.
Zhou Yi and Chen Yang sat at the exit above the canyon and waited for most of the day, while Zhou Wei went to the valley to inquire about the situation. Now Qingliangzhai has disappeared like yesterday's yellow flowers. Most of the villagers chose to take refuge in the surrounding cottages, they didn't want to go down the mountain to be exploited by the noble lords.
Each person has his own fate, and the path he chooses can only be borne by himself.
All the taxes that Tutra County has taken to the royal capital this year have been collected, and a large brigade of troops from the county guards will be responsible for escorting them. Although the kingdom of Rolik is full of bandits, these bandit groups generally do not touch the money and taxes in various places. Otherwise, the former will definitely be looking for death, and the latter is almost tired of life.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the tax escort brigade were very relaxed, but they were not in a very good mood, after all, it was necessary to walk such a long way from Tutra County to the royal capital, and two months had passed. I couldn't reunite with my family for two months, I couldn't make love with my daughter-in-law, and I really wanted my life.
But who let the captain fire on his back! This is the third time in a row that he has been drawn to the escort mission, and it won't be damn that the captain has offended the flag commander! If this is the case, we have to quickly apply for a transfer to another brigade, otherwise we don't know what disgusting mission there is!
Just when the soldiers were thinking wildly, the convoy entered the Wind Valley Gorge, and after walking for so long, the power of the autumn tiger was not weaker than that of the summer tiger at all, and all the sergeants were sweating. Seeing entering the breezy Wind Valley Gorge, everyone's pace couldn't help but speed up, and a swarm of bees poured into the valley mouth. The cool breeze was so pleasant. I really wish that this canyon road would be longer and enjoyable, so unlike the speed when entering the valley, everyone's pace began to slow down, and even the officers who led the team were also in the same mind.
"Come in, come in! All the tax convoys in Tutra County are in!" Zhou Wei hurriedly came back and said.
"Hehe, it's up to us now!" Zhou Yi got up and stretched his sore limbs after sitting for a long time.
Leaving Zhou Wei here to watch the wind, Zhou Yi and Chen Yang turned over and galloped to two hundred meters in front of the tax team and dismounted to rest. The two of them pretended to find a shady place to sit down, and then took out dry food and water bags, as if they were preparing to make a sharp start here after a long journey.
Zhou Yi and Chen Yang stuffed the antidote into their nostrils, and then pulled the stopper of the porcelain bottle.
The officers and men of the escort team rode on two horses when they saw the comers, and they directly fell off their horses in front to rest, and they did not care, after all, this is a business road, and it is very normal to meet a few pedestrians.
Escort captain Andrevich greedily breathed the cool air in the valley, to be honest, he was also very annoyed by this errand, there was no oil and water at all after two months of travel, and he had to look at people's faces when he entered the royal capital, which was really not a good thing, let alone being drawn by his own stinky hands for three consecutive years.
Every year at the end of September, it is the hottest time in Tutra County, and there is still such a long way to drive in the scorching autumn tigers, and only this section of Wind Valley Gorge is quite comfortable. So Andrevich walked slowly, not in a hurry.
"Hey, why are my eyes a little uncomfortable! There is an urge to burst into tears!" Andrevich was a little surprised, wondering if he had an impulse to explode because of the grievances he had suffered for three years. Then he felt weak, and before he fell off his horse, he saw two passers-by in front of him standing up and looking at them, one of whom was still chanting a word that looked like "pour, pour, pour." That was his last thought, and then he fell straight down and passed out.
Zhou Yi stood up, looked at the swaying escort soldiers, and happily pointed at them and said, "Fall! Fall!"
Chen Yang watched helplessly as he played with treasures, and he was also amazed in his heart that this sad breeze was indeed a miracle medicine! Those soldiers had tears in their eyes, and they all lay on the ground, and even the horses fell to the ground crookedly. Chen Yang whistled and summoned Zhou Wei to come over.
In fact, the sad breeze did not work so quickly, but because someone was afraid that the amount would not be enough to charm so many people, it was only possible to add a double amount to take effect quickly. As far as the eye could see, from where they stood to a little farther they were fallen, and a group of fallen soldiers and horses.
Zhou Yi Shi Ran walked over, jumped into a carriage, pulled out his waist knife and slashed it on the copper lock, lifted the lid of the box with one hand, and a golden light flashed, almost blinding his pair of titanium alloy dog eyes.
He silently read about receiving it in his mind, and in an instant a box of gold coins disappeared, and his consciousness sank into his mind, only to see that the number of gold coins displayed in his mind was 127955 gold coins, a box of 100,000 gold coins, a car with five boxes, a total of 34 cars, and how many of them were added up to calculate quickly! 17 million gold coins! I got rich, I got rich! Da Huandan bought two at a time, ate one and lost ...... No, eat another one! The excited Zhou Yi hurriedly began to collect gold coins from car to cart and box by box, and by the time Zhou Wei arrived on horseback, Zhou Yi had already collected all the gold coins, which showed how fast he was! How excited he was!
The number of 17027955 is exciting to look at, this is really a turning serf to sing, from now on we will be the masters! Zhou Yi hummed a little song proudly, Zhou Wei came over and saw that someone was underbeaten, and kicked over and was dodged by someone.
"How about it, the gold coins have been collected?" Chen Yang was a little puzzled, Zhou Wei had heard of space equipment before, but when Zhou Yi didn't know where to get one, after all, don't ask too much when the relationship between relatives involves these heavy treasures.
"Of course, guess how much?" Zhou Yi said with a sigh.
"Hurry up and leave when you're done, and catch up with the next one!" Zhou Wei unceremoniously interrupted someone's chatter, suffocating Zhou Yi to the point of almost breaking his breath.
Without further ado, the three of them mounted their horses and crossed the town of Chabik and headed for Mansk County, where the party escorting the tax had just entered Tutra County.
This time, there were not such good geographical conditions for Zhou Yi to calculate, so he could only find a way to get close to the escort team.
After three days and two nights of hurrying and slowing, the three of them finally came across the Mansk County escort team, obediently, two whole brigades, forty carriages. In broad daylight, they couldn't openly attack on the trade road, so the three of them had to find a forest to follow the convoy far away.
Following the sunset, the convoy in front finally set up camp and prepared to rest, and the three of them were also tired and lay on the ground.
"You have to find the upper wind quickly, otherwise when they set up their tents, the effect will not be good!" After a short rest, Zhou Yi got up and said.
"I'm the fastest, let me go this time! You give me the porcelain vase, I'll go upwind to release the poison, and Uncle Wei, you will be responsible for watching the tracks of the other caravans around. When they are recruited, Zhou Yi, you go to collect the gold coins. Then we immediately withdrew, this is an important trade route, I don't know when a caravan will come. Chen Yang quickly made the best arrangement, after all, his skill in the sixth layer of the day after tomorrow was indeed the fastest.
Zhou Yi didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out five bottles of sad crisp breeze and handed them to Chen Yang for him to cast together. With a full amount of five bottles, even if there are more people in this section of the trade route, they can put it down!
Zhou Yi's uncle and nephew lay quietly in the bushes, one staring closely at the direction of the convoy and the other at the business road in the distance.
"It's shaking! It's shaking!" Zhou Yi's adrenaline began to secrete again, and the fatigue of many days of traveling was swept away.
"This is really a miracle medicine for robbing houses and houses!" Zhou Wei thought differently, looking at the problem from the perspective of a habitual bandit.
"It's down, it's down!" Zhou Yi jumped up and walked in the direction of the convoy, pretending to be a foot merchant in a hurry along the way, and Zhou Wei behind him who looked excited couldn't wait to go up and kick again, who did your sister pretend to see! Didn't you see that all the people in the direction of the convoy camp fell!
As if he heard the angry voice of Zhou Wei in his heart behind him, or there was indeed no one standing in the convoy in front of him, Zhou Yi accelerated into the camp to find the place where the carriage was parked.
"Wow Ka Ka, it's another 100,000 gold coins in a box, Mansk County is much richer than Tutra County!"
"Of course, Mansk County is richer than Tutra County, after all, Mansk County is adjacent to the Ash Kingdom, and the border trade is very prosperous! Chen Yang didn't know when he rushed back, and said coldly behind Zhou Yi.
"Where will a caravan come at this time! I think you're just too timid. Although Zhou Yi muttered in his mouth, his subordinates were not slow, and in less than half an hour, all the gold coins were collected.
Excluding the cost of buying five bottles of sad breeze and the gold coins for horses in the past few days, the number of 37002900 gold coins made Zhou Yi only dizzy in his mind, this is a whole seven big pills!
"Let's go, hurry up and run in the direction of Axu! There is a caravan coming from the direction of Tutra!" Zhou Wei forcibly interrupted someone's conjecture, and when he looked at the wind, he noticed the sound of a carriage coming from the direction of Tutra County in the rear, and hurriedly led the horse and ran over.
Don't dare to be careless, after all, you have to cross the entire Mansk County, if your whereabouts are exposed, it will be a big trouble!
The three of them hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, and Zhou Yiwei shouted: "Drive! The wind is tight!", almost frightening Zhou from his horse!
"Stinky boy, you wait for your uncle!" Zhou Wei raised his horsewhip and slapped the horse's buttocks, driving the horse to chase after a certain bad nephew, to reward him with a horsewhip, to see if he dared to go insane in the future.
Chen Yang lagged behind, with a knowing smile on his face, "This kid, interesting!", thinking about it, he also whipped hard, driving the horses under the seat to chase after the two.
As the sun set, the figures of the three gradually disappeared in the afterglow.
A caravan from Tutra County to the west slowly walked to the escort camp.
"Master, master, it's not good!" a subordinate who had gone to the camp to negotiate ran out of the camp and hurried to a magnificent carriage.
"What's wrong?" heard an old man's hoarse voice inside.
"Master, there is a tax escort team in front, and all the people inside have been drugged, and the taxes have also been robbed!" Well, why do you say "also", the tax escort team of Tutra County was turned over by drugs, and the news that all the taxes were robbed was well known in Tutra County for three days, and the tax money in Mansk County was also robbed in the same way, so the next person used this word.
"Hurry up and send someone to ride a fast horse to the town behind to report the news! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" The old man's voice was very hurried, this was a big event, and the taxes of the two counties were robbed in a few days, which was a great deal. If they don't call the police quickly, the consequences are not something that they businessmen can bear.
