Chapter 173: Scouting

These extraneous pleasures mainly include that in the process of trade, each person can also carry a small part of the goods, and along the way, he can plunder the poor people living around him, and these poor people are in the three-regardless zone, and there is no freedom in life at all, and there is nowhere to seek justice.

Finally, if you can meet the robbers and horse thieves of the iǎ gang, if you can kill them, you can also justifiably possess any items and money on them.

These robbers and horse thieves generally have excellent equipment and a lot of possessions. If you're lucky, the income from a mission far exceeds the actual commission.

At this time, a mercenary said enviously: "Boss Sun Jian can be regarded as making a lot of money this time, and he already has two full cars of his own things." ”

One of the mercenaries said with some regret: "It's a pity to say that, if we don't want to transport goods, it would be a lot of wealth to catch the poor people alive and transport them back to their hometowns to sell." ”

"Yes, but we mercenaries can't touch such an opportunity, only those who join the big forces have a chance. ”

"I really hope that there will be a chance to catch a few poor people and go back, and there is still a piece of land in my hometown that no one cultivates. These mercenaries were talking a lot, and the atmosphere was warm, but in Qiu Peng's ears, it was so harsh.

In the eyes of these mercenaries, there is no difference between these paupers and animals, and between cats and dogs at home.

But the poor people Qiu Peng saw on the road, they were all docile, peace-loving, and good at farming, and Qiu Peng could hardly imagine killing them like animals.

After a long time, Sun Jian and two mercenaries chased up from the back of the team, Qiu Peng turned his head to look at the farmhouse just now, the smoke was billowing up, and it was already in the sea of fire.

These mercenaries all asked Sun Jian what he had gained, and Sun Jian proudly lit up the trophy in his hand, which was a crystal sapphire.

Sun Jian said loudly: "I have long heard that this thing is often produced in this area, and if you are lucky, you can pick up sapphires, I still don't believe it, I rushed to that poor man's house, I originally wanted to ask him for some money, but I didn't expect to find this on his table, I think he doesn't know how valuable this thing is." ”

Sun Jian triumphantly wiped his iǎiǎ sapphire with his sleeve and blew out: "If you take it to the jewelry pawnshop, how can it be worth a thousand greenstone coins." ”

"Wow!" the mercenaries let out a surprised cry of envy. One of them said: "With such a rich harvest, Boss Sun Jian is still not satisfied, why did he burn down their house?"

Sun Jian pointed to the two mercenaries behind him and said, "That's the matter of the two of them." After I got this sapphire, I told the two of them, and the rest of the things were divided equally between the two of them, and I only wanted this sapphire. ”

One of the two mercenaries behind him said regretfully, "Damn old fellow, not at all interesting, he won't give me the last two greenstone coins in his hand, saying that he will save them for next year's Kain to buy seeds." , but even if I searched the whole house, I only found ten greenstone coins. ”

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the team moved on. Qiu Peng secretly turned his head away, and had a feeling of wanting to cry. Perhaps he was accustomed to treating the poor, the statused, and the so-called natives as equal people, whether they were poor or not, or the so-called natives, which may have something to do with the concept of equality for all people he learned in the world. Now seeing the attitude of these mercenaries towards the poor, Qiu Peng has a terrifying feeling.

In the evening, they were still resting in the wilderness and did not continue their journey until the next morning.

I don't know if Sun Jian still holds a grudge or some other reason, when assigning tasks, Sun Jian always assigns the most difficult and thankless tasks to Qiu Peng.

When he set out in the morning, Sun Jian even ordered Qiu Peng to act as an outpost to inspect the situation and terrain.

As a mercenary, it is very normal to send scouts to observe along the way, to observe in advance whether there is any danger, and to guide the direction of the team. However, the kind of people who are generally dispatched must be alert and capable, experienced, and very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and belong to the team of jīng talents to be competent.

Sun Jian now actually sent Qiu Peng, a novice who didn't know anything about the road, as a scout, and he had to say that he had some tendency to take the opportunity to retaliate.

Qiu Peng didn't bother to argue with him, but every time he went to scout, he told Siyu to be more attentive and entrusted He Ping to take care of Siyu.

In this way, the team slowly moved forward, and every time he came across a village with poor people on the side of the road, Sun Jian would go and rob it.

Qiu Peng often looked back at the two carts of bags containing the belongings that Sun Jian had looted along the way, and often wondered how much blood of the poor was stained in them.

Later, He Ping told Qiu Peng that Sun Jian was not a mercenary, and it was said that he was an iǎ leader of the Provincial Lingyun Pavilion, and he was expelled for violating the gang rules before, but he heard that his backstage was very hard, so he was quickly transferred to the Super Mercenary Alliance, Nòng was a jīng British-level mercenary, and organized a mercenary group for him.

It turned out that the various local gang forces carried out strict control over the mercenary industry, and every mercenary task was allocated through a unified system, and the owner of the caravan could not freely choose which mercenary to protect, which was also to prevent the monopoly power of the super mercenary alliance.

This is also the main reason why Sun Jian doesn't care much about Dou Jianhou's orders.

Originally, ordinary reconnaissance, especially for mercenaries like this iǎ, was already the limit if they could be detected more than ten miles away, but Sun Jian insisted that Qiu Peng continue to investigate thirty miles away.

On this day, the weather was clear, the sky was clear, and the sky was cloudless. Qiu Peng was on an iǎiǎ hill a few miles in front of the team, and played a strange signal on the north side of the team, after everyone saw this signal, they were all slightly stunned and glanced at each other, because at this time, they should have stopped the hovering car, lined up the convoy in a phalanx, pressed the long-range weapons on the roof of the car, and the mercenaries also set up a formation, prepared bows and arrows, and prepared to attack the enemy.

Sun Jian looked at his north side and found that it was a forest, and he didn't see any enemies, so he said contemptuously: "This rǔ stinky iǎer, I don't know what I saw chasing the wind and shadows, so I played a warning sign. Don't pay attention to him, I haven't heard of any big gang of horse thieves in this area, let's keep walking!"

He Ping said cautiously: "It's not very good, what if there is really an enemy in the woods?"

Sun Jian said coldly and disdainfully: "Do you really think that there is an enemy hidden in the woods?

He Ping was silent for a while, the vision on the plain was good, and the traces of Qiu Peng's reconnaissance in front could be vaguely seen, Qiu Peng did not enter the woods on the north side to inspect, and logically speaking, it was impossible to find the enemy in the woods.

Sun Jian saw that He Ping was no longer talking, and shouted loudly: "Keep going!"

On the one hand, the mercenaries signaled Qiu Peng to continue to reconnoitre.

Seeing something like an ant from a distance, Qiu Peng hesitated, drove the car around the same place a few times, or quickly galloped into the distance, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

The convoy continued to move forward, and when it was about to come to the woods where Qiu Peng had just signaled, He Ping suddenly found that Siyu had stopped, standing in place and no longer moving forward.

He Ping is still a relatively honest and responsible person, because Qiu Peng entrusted Siyu to He Ping before leaving, He Ping urged Ma over and asked: "Iǎ girl, keep going, why don't you go." ”

Siyu shook his head, a hint of vigilance flashed in his crystal eyes, and his face showed the vigilant and fierce expression on his face when he felt threatened. She gestured to the woods ahead, but said nothing.

He Ping thought that Siyu was frightened by the signal sent by Qiu Peng just now, looked at the thin girl in front of him, and wanted to comfort her, just stretched out his hand and wanted to pat her on the head, but he was startled by Siyu's hostile eyes and the wooden bāng in his hand, he did not forget the fate of Sun Jian.
