Just as the two martial arts masters were about to speak, a voice came from far behind: "What's going on up front?" It turned out to be the leader of the camel team who noticed something was going on up front and had already galloped over.
The camel team has hundreds of camels, and it doesn't just stop. The Yuchi family's team travels throughout the Western Regions, and will be treated politely even when it encounters Turkic troops. How could these two so-called official servants be placed in the same place?
In their eyes, if they were really stopped by them, these two martial arts masters would never eat at Yuchi's house again, so they quickly turned around and shouted: "It's okay, they are just two friends fighting against the autumn wind."
After that, a martial artist took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it over: "Friend, take it to drink tea, don't block the way of Yuchi's family."
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't buy it at all and threw the money back directly: "Didn't you hear me when I told you to squat down!"
The two martial arts masters were annoyed now. The rules of the martial arts were already in place, but the other party still didn't appreciate it. So don't blame me for being stupid. Cang Chi pulled out his sword and was about to kill the person. Little did he know that he just sneered: "You
If you have the guts, just take one step forward and give it a try.”
The martial artist looked up and saw four longbows aimed at him on the rocks behind the officer. The arrows were shining with a cold light. If he really took a step rashly, he was afraid that the arrows would pierce him and he would be heartbroken.
The opponent came well prepared. The martial artist put down his sword fiercely and stared at the opponent without saying a word. At this time, the team leader had already come over. He was a strong man in his thirties. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but frowned and shouted on the horse.
Said: "Friends on that road? Didn't Yuchi's family take care of you?"
The two young officers said arrogantly: "What are you talking about? We are police officers from Luyang County. We are here to investigate smuggling under the orders of our superiors. Please quickly bring the relevant official documents for inspection to avoid delaying your trip."
The team leader was a little sullen, but he still maintained his demeanor and said in a pleasant manner: "It turns out to be the official. I'm offended. Come here, bring us our documents." After saying this, he twitched his fingers, and someone next to him naturally offered a stack of silver.
Tickets, at least a hundred and ten taels.
"No, this is our document. Let me see if you are satisfied with it."
According to the experience of the team leader, whether it is a real official or a fake official, they should accept it as soon as they feel comfortable. Isn't the purpose of setting up cards on the road just for money? A hundred taels of silver will last them a while, and the Yuchi family does business.
Those who pay attention to being friendly and making money will generally not use the knife against others unless absolutely necessary. Of course, this does not mean that they are cowards. After the incident is over, whether they hire killers or use government power, they can always kill anyone who dares to stroke the beard of the Yuchi family.
Get rid of it, this is the demeanor of a superior person.
But unexpectedly, their experience failed this time. When the two officers glanced at it and saw that it was a bank note, not only did they not show greedy expressions, but their faces were filled with righteousness, and they shouted: "You dare to bribe an officer, you are so brave, take it."
Not issuing documents is smuggling, leaving all the goods behind!"
The team leader finally put away his smile, stretched out his hand to make a gesture behind his back, and then said coldly: "Are the two of you wearing black and red clothes on official duty? Are you assigned by some master to come to check for smuggling? Do you have anything?
The evidence makes a certain point of view.”
The official snorted disdainfully, as if he had expected this question. He took out an official document from his arms and showed it: "Look, the official document of Luyang County is written in black and white. The official seal of the county magistrate is stamped on it. Can it still be used?"
Is it true?"
The team leader took a closer look and saw that it was indeed an official document issued by Luyang County. It did not appear to be a forgery. He began to worry about it and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, what kind of document do you want to check? Please explain it clearly."
"We specialize in investigating tea and horse smuggling. If your goods contain brick tea, you must have the corresponding tea and horse coupons. If not, it is smuggling and will be seized! So do you have it or not?"
The team leader is annoyed. The Yuchi family specializes in the tea-horse business. There are three hundred camels in this camel team, each carrying at least five loads of brick tea. A total of fifteen hundred loads of goods, all of which are tea. The other party must be serious about this.
I just came here because I was sure, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape without blood today.
Naturally, anyone who can be a team leader is not a mortal. This man has also worked in the Yuchi family's caravan since he was a child. He knows when to be submissive and when to be aggressive. Since the other party is so open-minded, let's just fight it out.
Isn't he just a small county magistrate? He asked his master to take care of things in the provincial capital and just rolled off his hair.
Thinking of this, the team leader pulled the official document over and cursed: "What a bullshit official document. It's just a private checkpoint to rob the road. Brothers, fight me!"
The Yuchi family has been traveling in the northwest for hundreds of years. In addition to strong connections and financial resources, a team capable of fighting is also indispensable. Even when there is no threat, each camel team maintains an armed force of dozens of people.
This team of 300 camels is equipped with a bodyguard team of 20 people. The rest of the guys also have guys with them, so they can go into battle at critical times.
As soon as the leader shouted, the bodyguards immediately rushed over on horseback, cursing and pulling out steel knives from their waists. The Yuchi family either didn't take action, or they would see blood if they did. These guys who don't know the heights of heaven and earth are today.
Don't even think about going back alive.
Unexpectedly, they were more prepared. An official put his finger in his mouth and whistled, and dozens of archers appeared on the cliff, with their long bows fully drawn, aiming at the group of people below, and in the canyon.
A cavalry of dozens of people also appeared at the exit, lined up in a horizontal line, with their spears flattened, in a posture ready to charge. At the same time, shouts came from behind the camel team. It turned out that people carrying swords and guns also appeared behind them.
This camel caravan has been surrounded.
The hero did not want to suffer the immediate loss, but the team leader still raised his hand and shouted: "Stop!" The bodyguards reined in their horses and stopped, staring at the archers on the cliff with hatred, and spat on the ground with dissatisfaction, but they were not moved at all, and the long
The bow is still fully drawn and ready to shoot. I really don’t know how this group of people can keep the bow fully drawn for so long with so much strength.
"Ask your leader to come forward and speak." The leader said, seemingly ready to give in.
The official officer played by Gou Sheng whistled again, and Yuan Feng urged his horse forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
The team leader looked Yuan Feng up and down and said, "Are you the leader from Luyang County?"
"Yes, I am the leader of the fast team in Luyang County and the Baoyuanfeng of Shibali Fort. I am here to investigate smuggling in the name of the county magistrate. You disobey the official orders and resist arrest with knives. You really have no law in your eyes.
Is it done?”
After hearing these righteous words, the team leader almost laughed out of anger. He waved his hand: "Don't talk about useless things, please tell me, how much money does it cost?"
"No money is required. As long as you can produce tea and horse tickets, I will let you go immediately."
The team leader is so angry. What year did the tea and horse coupons come from? Who has nothing to do with this thing? However, these country officials take this thing seriously. He can't say anything because after all, the court has not explicitly abolished this system and will strictly pursue it.
Come on, the camel team is just smuggling, and it is not unreasonable for people to set up checkpoints and search.
"The tea and horse tickets are all in my hometown in Chang'an. They have not been stolen. I have done this for my convenience, and our Yuchi family will definitely repay the favor. What do you think?" the team leader said politely.
"No, if you don't have the tea-horse coupons, it's smuggling, it's collaborating with the enemy, and all the goods will be confiscated!" Yuan Feng said with a straight face, looking selfless.
"Is there no room for negotiation?"
"No, if you can't get the tea horse coupons, you won't even be able to transport a brick of tea."
"Well, why don't we go back the way we came?"
"No, the goods must be detained. If you are a first-time offender, you can go back. Once you get the tea and horse coupons, you can pick up the goods in Luyang County."
"Yuan Feng, right? I'll remember you. If you have the guts, we'll meet again later!" After the team leader finished speaking, he waved the horse's head and said, "Let's go!"
The Yuchi family members were all shocked. They had never suffered such a dumb loss in a long time. The dignified Yuchi family in Chang'an was forced to lose their temper by a group of horse thieves, but they did not dare to make any mistakes under the coercion of bows and arrows.
, could only give Yuan Feng and the others a fierce look, and then roared away with the leader, leaving behind a total of three hundred camels loaded with brick tea.
"Brother Ding'an, lead your men to keep an eye on them. Gou Sheng, lead your men to drive the camels back." Yuan Feng looked at the backs of Yuchi's men and said.
Sure enough, the group of people circled around and came back. This batch of goods was worth a lot of money. The brick tea alone was worth fifteen thousand taels of silver, plus the value of three hundred camels. It was a big sum. Besides,
It was a great shame and humiliation for the Yuchi family's camel team to be wiped out. If the leader of the team returned like this without doing anything, he would definitely be punished. Therefore, he chose the strategy of avoiding the enemy's edge and seizing the opportunity to recapture the camel team.
According to his prediction, this team of officials would be so happy that they had robbed such a large amount of wealth, and they would be driving the camel team back to celebrate. At this time, if they kill him again, they will definitely win by surprise.
Who would have thought that people had expected this move. As soon as this wave of people rushed over, three tripping ropes shot up in the air. After all, the people of the Yuchi family were well-trained. Except for the first few people who fell and fell on their backs, the people behind them all jumped on their backs.
Everyone hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped. Dozens of archers appeared on the hillsides on both sides. This time they were no longer bluffing. Arrows were coming from all over the sky. The leader of the group was positioned closer to the front and was hit by three arrows in the chest.
After a burst of severe pain, he actually felt a sense of relief, thinking that it would be good if he died, at least he wouldn't have to go back and face the punishment of the family master.
But he did not die, and all the guys who were hit by arrows were unharmed, because the arrows had their arrowheads removed. Someone on the hillside shouted: "This time use headless arrows, next time use real arrows."
, If you are sensible, go get tea-horse coupons as soon as possible, don’t get these useless things.”
People who dare to mess with the Yuchi family are fully prepared. Even if they surrender dozens of lives here, it will not help. The leader has no choice but to swallow the result, stop using harsh words, and lead a group of subordinates with hatred.
