on the bustling pipeline

Even at night, there are still individual caravans on their way, hoping to deliver goods to the south or north in the shortest possible time.

In this way, they can make more money while the price of goods is still high, and they may even make an extra trip before the Chinese New Year.

There are no tunnels, no highways, and no speeds of 100 kilometers an hour. All transportation relies on packhorses. It is worth mentioning that as the Tang Dynasty government continued to introduce some simple technologies for civilian use, the cargo transportation in the Tang Dynasty has been improved.

A big improvement.

carriage

Ox cart

Shock Absorbers

Or a rubber ring

Rubber completely replaced Eucommia ulmoides with the fleet transportation of the Tang Dynasty, and the output also increased a lot. Most of them were used by Li Mingda for military purposes. Only a few private traders relied on their own cargo ships to transport them to the Tang Dynasty.

After being able to refine it, it was eventually acquired by the government.

Naturally, Li Mingda would not buy it with cash, but would exchange it with the other party for some of the finished products that were of poor quality and could not be used in the military.

Goods for materials

Both parties are satisfied

Da da da

Footsteps echo in the night

On the pipeline at night, the leader escorting the goods asked his crew to lead the way with torches, and some carriages also had bits and pieces stuck in them.

In the past, torches were not cheap, and the cost of fabric and grease alone was high.

Now that the Tang Dynasty military has begun refining oil in a planned way, the cost of these torches made of old materials has dropped a lot.

Coupled with the profits from the caravan's goods and the fact that all the gangsters were wiped out on the pipeline, we decided to consider traveling at night.

In the woods on the roadside, several dark figures are slowly walking through

Don't watch the TV series. A group of assassins are really marching in the woods. The dense vegetation and shrubs alone can give people a strong enough torment, not to mention the potholes that appear from time to time.

Even in modern times, if there are no roads in the deep mountains and woods, it is difficult to cross the mountains and ridges.

Night---harder

Huhuhu

One of the dark figures stepped on a slippery stone and fell to the ground.

The team stopped

Several people came together to help the fallen person up.

One of them said: "Chief, it's okay for us to walk in the woods. There are bushes, rocks and potholes everywhere. How can we catch up with the cavalry of the Jin Yiwei?"

The leader looked up at the speaker, raised his hand and flew out an arrow from his sleeve, directly into the opponent's chest.

The man's eyes widened and he looked down at his chest with an unbelievable look on his face.

"Why?"

Suddenly the man realized something, and then he wanted to say something, but finally fell to the ground and stopped moving.

died

The eyes of the people around him suddenly shrank.

They looked at their leader in horror. They were an assassination squad in the organization, and the leader was also a veteran. But why did they suddenly kill their own people?

"Let's go with his body"

Listening to the undeniable tone in their leader's words, coupled with the obedience education, they silently picked up their dead companions and followed their team leader back.

Walked for about an hour

The surrounding shrubs and grass were getting denser and denser. The leader of the team looked at the surrounding environment and stopped.

Point to the ground

"Dig a hole and bury him. After all, we are still brothers."

(⊙o⊙)…

Everyone looked at each other, took out their weapons and started digging holes. As for asking why?

No one dares to speak

Even though the tools are not very good, digging holes is faster when there are more people. It takes about half an hour to complete the hole one person at a time.

He threw the person in, then used his hands and feet to backfill the surrounding soil, and then got some fallen leaves on top.

Someone else got some branches and piled them up.

He works smoothly and without any mess, and you can tell he is a skilled worker at a glance.

After settling the scene, the leader said calmly: "This mission is over now, everyone should go back."

"Yes, leader"

"Call Captain"

"Yes, Captain"

"Let's go. I will report the situation of the master when I get back. You don't have anything to worry about."

A few people knew that they were just knives in the hands of others, using money to do things. As for why the leader did what he did, they had no control over it.

After all, they are professional killers who are only responsible for collecting money and doing things. As for anything that happens on the road, there is a captain who leads the team.

Seeing that the people in his own team had no objections, the team leader just asked people to go back.

Times have changed

This is no longer the era when mysterious organizations and gangs were rampant. The Jinyiwei swept away most of the private organizations and gangsters. They were either incorporated or wiped out, and the remaining ones that were inconspicuous or deeply hidden escaped by chance.

Then the people supported by the Tang Dynasty government came to an end, and they began to control and continuously clean up the local area.

Any organization will go astray one day, but now, in the early days of the Holy Emperor Mingzun of the Tang Dynasty, such a thing is almost impossible.

Of course, it’s not that you don’t try. Usually, you die just after trying. A few Jin Yiwei who were bribed didn’t escape the fate of being investigated, punished and executed.

However

What he didn't expect was that at this time, the head of his family had taken over a business.

Following and investigating the Jin Yiwei who were traveling from the south to Chang'an City, after years of understanding, he knew exactly what these people were doing.

They were transporting some special items for His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun of the Tang Dynasty. Their boss told themselves that their employer had asked them to get something back when they had the opportunity.

When is it?

He also attacked Jin Yiwei

Nowadays it is difficult to bribe anyone, not to mention these are the elites of the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the thing sent to Mingzun Saint Emperor is 100% not simple, if it succeeds.

Can you run away?

Hiding in the mountains?

Heavy snow has sealed the mountain, and you will die if you go in there.

Going overseas?

Flags of the Tang Dynasty are everywhere

A place that is not the flag of the Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and it is very easy to die on the road.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you may not be able to survive because of the language barrier. What's more, if the Tang Dynasty is not fully protected, it will be defeated at any time.

I am middle-aged myself, I have passed the age of passion, and I have seen the world clearly, and I hope to be able to safely escape from my current life.

so

When he was ordered to try to bribe a certain Jinyiwei Qianhu, he had already reached a consensus with the Jinyiwei inner guard and became the other party's secret line to ensure his wealth and life.

call

As for why he wanted to kill the person who spoke just now, the first reason was that this person couldn't see clearly, and the second reason was that he knew that there was always someone in the team who had an inappropriate personal connection with this employer.

For his boss and his brothers to follow him and save his life at some point.

At dawn, a group of people came outside a certain county town, changed out of their night clothes, dressed up as traders, farmers, etc. and sneaked into the city.

After they entered the county town, they dispersed as if they didn't know each other, and it was as if nothing happened last night.

But what they didn't know was that not long after they buried their companions and left, another group of people wearing night clothes stood by the pit.
