Bandits don't dare to confront each other head-on, so they always do some sneaky things. Especially at night, if you are not careful, problems will occur. This is a common trick used by bandits. They are like wolves. After seeing a fat sheep, if they can eat it in one bite
It's best to drop them. If that doesn't work, just keep following them. Just waiting for the sheep to be a little careless, they will seize the opportunity and take advantage of them. No matter how big or small, they are still meat.
In just two days, Su Ren lost ten pieces of silk and three cart drivers. There was a lot of silk in the goods, and the loss of ten pieces was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, but there were countless cart drivers, and every horse or cart was lost.
I couldn't keep up with the team. For this long trip, Su Ren was very thoughtful and selected the drivers who were the best at driving. Such people are treasures, not to mention that he found more than a hundred and almost drove all the people in Chang'an.
I took all of them away, and now I feel sad that I have lost three of them.
Now that someone has died, the atmosphere in the convoy has become strange. No one dares to leave the camp at night, and no one dares to leave alone. Even the escorts go out in groups. Su Ren is very pleased with this situation.
, when he left the city, he had given repeated orders not to act alone, but no one listened to him. Now everyone finally behaved.
Every night, one or two people who want to attack the convoy are caught. Whether they are staying in a town store or camping in the wild, some people always appear suddenly, and some even pretend to be beggars. The vendors take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Hawking was very angry. He threw a thin black guy to the ground and kicked him again: "This idiot just wanted to get in. If he hadn't been discovered earlier, I'm afraid he would have succeeded. He pretended to be a porter delivering firewood."
Those who came in resisted when they were caught and didn’t say anything.”
Su Ren glanced at the guy. He was very wretched, with a big mouth and small eyes. He was not a good person at first glance. Su Ren knelt down and studied the guy carefully, then raised his head and asked Hawking: "Did you find anything?"
Hawking shook his head: "There is nothing, even the teeth. There are no weapons or hidden poisons."
"Is he really a firewood deliverer?" Hong Cheng looked at the guy in confusion.
Hawking snorted coldly: "This guy's hands are really rough, and he does look like a woodcutter, but with one look in his eyes, you can tell that this guy has killed people, and he has never been a good person."
Su Ren looked around and saw that the guy lying on the ground was wearing linen clothes and straw sandals on his feet. There were traces of burdens on his shoulders and his hands were rough. No matter from which aspect, he looked like a woodcutter.
There is something strange about the wound on the left arm. The arm is the weakest joint in the human body. No matter how injured it is, it will not be injured here. Just like the human neck, once these two places are injured, the person's
Death was not far away, but this man's left arm was injured in the crook of the arm.
The man was tied very firmly, and his arms were twisted just enough to expose the elbows. Su Ren reached out and touched it, took out a dagger from his arms, and lightly scratched the man's wound, and blood immediately flowed from the wound.
The blood was black, and there was yellow pus inside, which looked a little disgusting. The scar was very strange, three inches long and regular.
The man kept grunting on the ground, still shouting that he was a commoner, just a firewood seller, and even clamored to go to the government to sue Su Ren and the others.
He reached out and touched the man's arm. In full view of everyone, Su Ren inserted two fingers into the man's wound, and soon took out something with blood and minced meat on it. The man
His head was so painful that he was sweating profusely. Su Ren glanced at it for a moment, then held the thing in his hand and said to Hawking: "Go and search all the people who have been caught these days. Be more careful this time."
Huo Jin was overjoyed and went down to work with a chuckle. Hong Cheng stretched his neck to see clearly what Su Ren was holding, but Su Ren kept holding it in his hand and did not let go when washing his hands. This made Hong Cheng
A little disappointed. Su Ren still talked about the regulations of the caravan, and the same words were said. The shopkeepers of each caravan are optimistic about their own manpower and are absolutely not allowed to act alone. The guards must go out in groups of three, and the rest must be at least five people.
Hawking left quickly and came back quickly. When Hawking came back, everyone in the big tent had left, leaving only Han Qing. Hawking stretched out his hand and threw a few bloody things in his palm on Su Ren's desk.
Above: "Everyone actually has one. They are hidden in different places and have different patterns on it. They are generally divided into two categories, birds and animals, and most of them are animals."
Su Ren looked at the things on the table: "That's right, the two groups of people are correct."
Han Qingdao: "Since they are not bandits, where did the bandits go? This time we don't have the manpower to gather them for us. I'm afraid these bandits have united and are waiting for us in a dangerous place ahead."
Su Rendao: "This is the reason why I am planning to stay in Chencang. Those people will never miss a good opportunity to take advantage of the bandits. What they most like to see is that after we both lose, they make a profit, and before leaving,
At that time, I already wanted to send a message to the flying pigeons in Shu, and when we arrived in Chencang, there would be more reinforcements."
"What about these flies following around?" Hawking was very irritated by recent events. He disliked people who did things secretly.
"There's nothing we can do. As long as they don't come in groups, we can't do anything about them. We just have to endure it! Fortunately, it's not too far from Chencang, it's only a few days."
"This is too frustrating. We were not like this before!"
Han Qing said with a smile: "Sir, I almost cut off the roots of these people in Chang'an, so we can just let them take revenge. Besides, we don't have any of our goods in this convoy, so even if they rob them all, we won't lose much."
"That won't work, I can't swallow this breath!" Hawking went out angrily.
Su Ren shook his head and washed the things Hawking brought in the basin. Including the piece in his hand, there were eight in total, six badges made of bamboo pieces. They were not round but placed. The graphics were compared.
It is square, with mostly animals on it, including tigers, bears, and rabbits. The other two pieces are very finely made and are carved from jade. Of course, the jade tablets from Ebony Cliff are not necessarily beautiful, but the workmanship is still relatively fine. Whether it is jade.
Both the cards and the bamboo cards are thin pieces about the size of a thumb cap, which can be inserted into the body without any accidents.
Han Qingdao: "These people are really fast. We were bitten as soon as we left the city!"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's not that they are fast, but that they have been preparing for a long time. Even if we don't leave, they will compete with us in Chang'an. This time we are the ones who caught them off guard with a preemptive strike. If we had waited until they launched first, then
But that’s not good.”
Han Qing nodded and said: "Timely rain sent news that the two old guys are around, asking if we should take action now."
Su Rendao: "It's not the right time yet. This place is still too close to Chang'an. Let's wait until we get out of Yumen Pass."
Since the discovery of those jade and bamboo tablets, the number of attacks on caravans has immediately decreased. All the way to Chencang, no caravans were stolen or people died. Only then was the heart that had been hanging around completely let go, and from Chencang
At the beginning, we left the Weihe Plain and entered the vast Gobi desert to the west. We were also outside the sphere of influence of the Beiyuan bandits, so everyone was not too worried.
Gou Tianming, Vulture and Leopard had been waiting in Chencang for a long time. After they received the news from Su Ren, they rushed to Chencang at night. Along with them were five hundred veterans who had retired from the county soldiers. According to Gou Tianming
According to Tian Ming, they are old now and cannot go to the battlefield or fight. They can only follow Su Ren to travel around the Western Regions to see if they can make some money so that they can spend the rest of their lives comfortably.
Su Ren laughed and hugged Gou Tianming. The former second-in-command of the bandits now had some white hair on his head. Although his body was stooped and looked more ugly, the light in his eyes was cooler. He bent over and stood.
There he is, holding a sword in his hand. Anyone with any discernment knows that this old guy is not easy to mess with.
The people who came with Gou Tianming were basically all the bandits who started their careers with Su Ren. These people were still unwilling to live a peaceful life. Although their lives had improved in recent years, and some had wives and children, the emptiness in their hearts was getting worse.
They are getting stronger and stronger. A letter from Su Ren immediately made their wildness burst out, and Gou Tianming said hello. Whether they were doing business, doing small business, or being a small official, they immediately dropped what they were doing, holding a knife and riding a horse.
He ran from Shu County to Chencang in one breath.
After chatting with Su Ren for a while, Gou Tianming waved, and two old soldiers came over holding down a fat man. His mouth was tightly blocked and he was still struggling. Gou Tianming said: "When I first arrived in Chencang, this guy was here
They were nearby, and they were arrested as soon as they were gathered together. I don’t know if they are the people sir wanted.”
"Fantasy horse?"
Gou Tianming shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't had time to ask yet."
Han Qing saluted Gou Tianming: "It is said that Huama united more than a dozen bandits with no less than 800 people. How many of them were caught so easily?"
Gou Tianming chuckled: "These are also called bandits? Ask sir, how brave the Yuanshan bandits were back then. Not to mention them, the bandits in our Sichuan are more bloody than these guys. I have not led the people to attack, but there are
He ran away halfway, and when he really started killing people, less than 10% of them were left behind. This guy still had some blood, so he captured everyone alive."
It was easy to hear what Gou Tianming said, but everyone present knew what the scene would be like. Hawking laughed loudly: "Uncle Gou's sword is really not old, and we don't even pay attention to the 100,000-yuan mountain thief.
The robber is a fucking woman!"
Huama wanted to refute, but he said it. A pair of eyes stared at Su Ren fiercely, and his chest heaved together, looking particularly angry. The corners of his eyes were cracked, but no one paid attention to him. This made the arrogant Huama unbearable.
The Vulture kicked Hua Ma in the crook of the leg, and the Hua Ma knelt down involuntarily. The Vulture cupped his fists and saluted Su Ren: "Sir, what should we do with these guys?"
Su Ren smiled: "Just do what you have to do? Since they dare to take our ideas, they should have expected the consequences."
The vulture chuckled, glanced at the leopard, and the two of them happily pulled the leopard down. (To be continued)
