After a scuffle, the bandits never captured their target.
Kang Shi opened the car curtain and looked at the chaos outside.
He sighed: "I won't take the bait."
After delaying for a while, reinforcements still did not arrive.
This means that these bandits have no value in existence. Captain Yang raised his hand and tapped on the wooden frame of the carriage, with different rhythms and different sounds. As the last syllable fell, horrifying screams rang out one after another outside the carriage.
Thump thump thump thump——
There were sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground one after another.
After a few breaths, it was completely quiet outside the carriage.
Captain Yang tightly covered his cloak to keep out the cold, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, followed closely by Kang Shi. He declined Kang Shi's help and jumped out of the carriage. The "housekeepers" all saluted, and Captain Yang glanced at him casually.
, and saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground.
He looked away indifferently: "Where are the survivors?"
Soon there were two "servants" holding down a wretched bandit who was drooling and covered in blood. With just one glance, Kang Shi could tell that the bandit's hands, feet, and temporomandibular bones had been violently severed. He tried to prevent this as much as possible.
A "lucky man" commits suicide.
Once he commits suicide, won't the whole night's work be in vain?
Li Li wiped away the blood splattered on his face.
He stepped forward to ask for instructions whether he should be taken down for questioning.
Captain Yang smiled and said, "No need to go to such trouble."
The bandit's face turned pale with horror. He was obviously imagining some inhuman torture method. He kept shaking his head and wanted to beg for mercy. However, his temporomandibular bone was severely dislocated and he could not speak. Instead, he threw out a lot of muddy words.
saliva.
The "guard" who escorted him frowned in disgust.
Kick him secretly to signal him to stay still.
Li Li was puzzled: "No?"
"Prisoners can also lie. What are you doing to waste this time?" Captain Yang saluted Kang Shi and said with a smile, "The next step is to trouble Ji Shou, so act quickly."
Kang Shi smiled calmly and said, "It's a trivial matter."
It's very simple to make people tell the truth.
Before even half a cup of tea had been made, Kang Shi looked overjoyed and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, I'm so happy!"
Captain Yang hurriedly asked: "How?"
Kang Shi said: "There is a military workshop in the mountain!"
Even the well-informed Captain Yang couldn't help being shocked, saying: "Bingfang? No wonder, no wonder they use this method to force merchants to take a detour and the common people to stay away..."
After all, brave warriors and literary scholars are in the minority.
On the battlefield, the largest number are ordinary people.
They also need armor and weapons to fight.
Although the world is in chaos, the nominal leader of the country is still Zheng Qiao. Running a military workshop privately is tantamount to "rebellion."
No wonder so cautious.
After saying that, Kang Shi seemed to have something else to say.
"Besides the military workshop, what else is there?"
Kang Shi looked like he was getting rich: "There is a mine!"
Captain Yang: "..."
This fat sheep is indeed very fat.
Captain Yang asked again: "How big is the military workshop?"
Kang Shi could hardly help but raise the corners of his mouth: "No, the military workshop will transport five thousand arrows down the mountain in the past two days."
Captain Yang clicked his tongue and said, "Five thousand arrows?"
Regardless of how long it took to save these feather arrows to make them, this quantity alone is enough to make people greedy.
For brave warriors, such as Gong Xiqiu and Zhai Le, the feather arrows and bow strings are all free. One hand turns the martial energy into a bow, and the other hand turns into feather arrows. As long as the martial energy is not exhausted, the arrows will have a continuous supply of energy.
No matter how much you ejaculate, you won't feel any pain.
Theoretically, as long as there are enough courageous warriors who can transform into bows, thousands of arrows can be fired together, covering the firepower, and the plumes of black arrows can be compared to rain.
But what about actually?
Ordinary people cannot "make something out of nothing".
Arrows are very expensive.
The difficulty of making the arrow does not even lie in the arrow cluster. If you are very poor, you can still use it by sharpening one end of the arrow. It does not lie in the selection and polishing of the tail feathers. The tail feathers are just to make the flight path of the arrow more accurate.
Considered a necessary part.
The real cost and difficulty lies in the arrow's body.
The arrow body used for arrows is not just a piece of bamboo or wood that can be used by whittling it.
The straighter the wood stick you choose, the better, and it is best to use dead wood. If not, it needs to be heated and dried, and then polished, straightened, calibrated, and painted according to the condition of the arrow body to make the arrow more durable and preserved.
It's all kung fu.
There is also a requirement for the length of the arrow body. Otherwise, what would happen if you find that the arrow body is not long enough when the bow is fully drawn?
Under various restrictions, the production cost has naturally gone up. If you can play Thousand Arrows without the participation of brave warriors, you must have mines at home! No, now I encounter a man who has mines and five thousand arrows.
The big fat sheep!
Captain Yang was well aware of the cost of making feather arrows.
He made a mental calculation and his eyes lit up.
If he misses this fat sheep, he will regret slapping his thigh in his dreams. He must eat it! Captain Yang glanced at the soldiers pretending to be "merchant guards" and his eyes flickered inexplicably. He also knew that he had difficulty in choosing.
The soldiers were fighting but could not lead the troops. In order not to delay, he directly asked Kang Shi.
"Ji Shou, what do you think should be done?"
Captain Yang was afraid that the big fat sheep that was close at hand had escaped, but he didn't want to attack rashly, for fear of misjudging the enemy's strength and burying these dozen people here in vain. You know, it was a mine and a military workshop.
, how can the overall force be weak?
For a moment, he began to hesitate.
Kang Shi didn't have this problem and immediately made a decision: "Hold the troops and continue to pretend. I will send a message to move reinforcements right away."
Duwei Yang said: "You don't know how to scare off the grass?"
Kang Shi shook his head: "Probably not."
If the enemy is alerted, the enemy in the dark will either send powerful and courageous warriors to kill them, or they will quickly move their military base.
Cunning Rabbit Sancao, I don’t believe that these people have no backup secret location. However, the dozen or so soldiers, including Li Li, did not use force, and they did not take any direct action. The enemy should not have discovered it yet. Just stabilize your position and calm down.
Captain Yang nodded.
He waved his hand to a dozen soldiers to dispose of the corpse.
He and Kang Shi returned to the carriage.
Kang Shi used the cover of the carriage to transform into several petite and light blue birds, and flew to the destination under the cover of night.
Captain Yang mentally calculated the location and distance of everyone, and said: "The ones coming should be Qi Yuanliang and Zhao Dayi."
Once Zhao Feng and Qi Shan arrive, things will be stable.
but--
It would take them two hours at the earliest to get here.
There are still three hours before dawn.
It should be in time.
Take down that military workshop before dawn.
Compared with this, Captain Yang was even more curious about who owned the military workshop - that was five thousand feathered arrows! Even if those batches of feathered arrows were of medium grade, the cost of one feathered arrow would be fifteen to twenty yuan.
Around. Now is another disaster year, the production cost has increased. A conservative estimate is 25 yuan. Five thousand feather arrows is 125,000 yuan... Yang Duwei is jealous just thinking about it.
You must know that when he was still serving in the Sibao County garrison, there were all kinds of wrangling every year, and military supplies were delayed, withheld, and reduced... The reserve of feathers and arrows in the military arsenal was less than 100,000, which was still a fortune saved for several years.
…
There are 5,000 weapons in a small mountain armory!
How could Captain Yang not be moved?
He asked Kang: "In addition to feather arrows, are there others?"
Kang Shi said: "There should be, but that little thief has only been here recently and has not been reused yet. He can only do marginal jobs. Therefore, he does not know the real situation inside. He is still helping people with Yujian's matter. Only the substitute found out."
Take a peek and see the whole leopard.
This military workshop is absolutely rich.
Captain Yang asked again: "Which family is it from?"
Kang Shi's expression was a little weird.
"Zhang family, Heyin Zhang family."
Tsk tsk tsk——
I really don’t know whether to say that Ha Yin Zhang’s is lucky or unlucky. Why is there this restaurant everywhere?
Shen Lang originally planned to attack this family, but he didn't expect that before he could do anything, they bumped into him first. Is this a coincidence?
only--
The Heyin Zhang family in Bai Su's mouth is a soft persimmon that is relatively easy to handle. They have a great reputation in Heyin but average overall strength. Now they discovered the military workshop by accident, which shows that the Heyin Zhang family has more than that. Kang Shi is a little worried about Shen Tang knows how to kick an iron plate.
Seeing Kang Shi frowning, Captain Yang thought something had changed.
Then he asked: "Why is Ji Shou worried?"
Kang Shi expressed his worries.
Duwei Yang said: "Then there is something wrong with Bai Su?"
Kang Shi shook his head and said, "This is unlikely."
When Shen Tang came to Heyin to take office, few people knew about it.
On the surface, Shen Tang wants no one, no money, only most of the old, weak, women and children around him, and more than a thousand "elites" of varying levels. Such a grassroots team needs to spend a lot of energy , a roundabout way?
The possibility is slim.
Kang Shi actually thought that Lady Bai Su was innocent.
Captain Yang then said: "That Madam Bai Su is a snitch. Although thieves have their ways, the Zhang family in Heyin is also a powerful local family. If they are so incompetent that a snitch can find out their own family background, how can they still survive to this day? "
Can you still call a hole card if it is easily revealed?
Captain Yang had also dealt with many powerful families in Sibao County, and he had some understanding of their ways. He was only concerned about a little bit, and said with a slightly complicated look: "Your Mr. Shen, are you really prepared to do it as soon as you come up? Wrestling with a local snake?"
He is not very optimistic about it.
Among these local snakes that have been rooted in the same place for many years, which one does not have a few fangs that can seal its throat with blood? Captain Yang admitted that Shen Tang is very powerful. Even a powerful enemy like Gong Xiqiu can retreat unscathed, but some battles can only be done with the naked eye. What can’t be seen——
Not on the battlefield, but in people's hearts.
Kang Shi asked back: "Are there any other options?"
Captain Yang was stunned and sighed: "That's true..."
There is no way back in this world.
If Shen Tang wants to take over Heyin and take root, he must rob other local snakes of their nourishment. Even if Shen Tang doesn't want to take the initiative, local snakes will unite and kill Shen Tang.
The truth is that simple, either you die or I die.
But Shen Tang chose to take the initiative.
The initiative is in your own hands.
The camp is located in a hidden location on the mountain.
From time to time, you can hear the sound of jingling bells in the distance, and you can see a few busy figures in the moonlight.
This is the military workshop secretly built by the Heyin Zhang family in the mountains. There is a mine vein in the mountains, and the purity of the reserves is quite good.
Mrs. Zhang did not dare to speak out.
So by cooperating with the bandits, they swallowed this big cake and secretly accumulated enough force. They were prepared to wait for Zheng Qiao's royal court to completely collapse, then they would respond to the call and rise up! By then, they would be able to successfully annex the other families in Heyin!
This is what the founding leader of the Xin Kingdom did.
They can do it, why can’t they do it themselves?
In order to ensure that the plan would not be hindered, the group of merchants passing by was deliberately killed, and the methods were as cruel as possible. Even the common people who went up the mountain to chop firewood were not spared. One more person was allowed to go back alive, and the people under his command were deliberately exaggerating and promoting it.
, this mountain road has become extinct, and their wretched development plan is proceeding in an orderly manner, and everything is developing in a good direction.
They don't want to be so cautious.
However, they are not only the unrivaled boss in Heyin, but also have the leader of the country Zheng Qiao. If there is any news about his walking, it will be the crime of the Yi tribe at the very least. I thought I could sit back and relax, but unexpectedly another insect sneaked in.
It is also a traveling caravan.
The scale is not small, there are more than ten guards.
To be on the safe side, we sent out 30 or 40 people - the first batch of feather arrows from the military workshop is about to be delivered, but there can be no mistakes! In order to avoid future troubles, it is the safest way to avoid rumors and leave no one alive. Who knows, in half a day,
No reply.
"Did that group capture it?"
The person who spoke was a little anxious.
He was inexplicably anxious tonight. The Zhang family was not among the top in Heyin. If the news about the military workshop was leaked and other companies knew about it, what awaited the Zhang family might be their joint suppression, which would be a disaster.
Almost the same.
Another person replied in a low voice: "Not yet."
"Not yet?"
There were more than a dozen caravan guards, and I don’t know if the weapons they used were blunt, but my own number 30 or 40 had sophisticated weapons, but they couldn’t kill them? This man’s heartbeat was disordered and rapid in his chest, and his unreasonable panic and anxiety became more and more obvious.
He paced back and forth in the room.
Sometimes he sits down, sometimes he gets up.
Then he asked: "Has the person come back?"
Another person continued to answer: "Not yet."
"Trash! They're all trash! What's the point of eating!" He blurted out a few curses, and when he was about to call someone to rush him, there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the house. He frowned in displeasure and said, "Why are you so nervous?
of?"
He replied: "Something bad is going to happen——"
His heart thumped twice: "What?"
"Everyone who went there died."
"Dead???" The man seemed to have heard something ridiculous and was furious, "What is dead?"
"Everyone who was sent down was killed."
The man's face was ashen: "Meet a brave warrior?"
A courageous warrior, even the lowest-ranking warrior, cannot be supported by ordinary merchants.
Even if there were really low-ranking officers in the caravan escort, it would be impossible to kill everyone and not even one of them could escape and report the news.
"Probably not, no force was used."
The man became even more angry after hearing this: "Are you saying that a group of ordinary mud-legged untouchables killed us number 30 or 40?"
The person who was sprayed did not dare to say anything.
Faced with the baptism of saliva, he could only endure it and resist the urge to turn his head away. Only when the other party's anger subsided a little did he say: "Should we send more people..."
"Nonsense! Of course I want to go!"
"Then the people in this workshop, do you want to move?"
The man laughed angrily after hearing this.
It's just a dozen or so merchant guards who are relatively capable. It can be solved by sending two brave warriors to lead them down. I am still busy with work and deadlines. Time is tight, so why do I need to move?
