Chapter 36 Black Eat Black

Taking the Jinshui River as the boundary, to the south is a vast grassland with a radius of thousands of miles, and to the north is a desert where no one knows where the boundary is. Although there is no real road, there is also a road everywhere. Fortunately, there is the Jinshui River. For the convenience of water, even if there is a caravan far away from the Jinshui River for safety, it will not exceed ten at most. In the inner land, and the caravan with strong enough guard force will travel close to the Jinshui River. Moreover, the only passage between Shenzhou and Xiyi is Dinghai Bridge, and the entrance to the entrance of the Jinshui River is three miles north of Dinghai Bridge, which can be said to be close at hand. Although such terrain is convenient for the caravans, it also relies on the horses that robbed the caravan. The bandits provided convenience.

Yang Yu chose the place where the first robbery was five miles west of Dinghai Bridge. Most of the caravans will replenish the water here for the last time and repair it before leaving. If they go westward, they may encounter fishmen. Although the fishmen can't go ashore for a long time or stay in fresh water for a long time. However, there is no problem in a short period of time, so after approaching the sea, fishmen in the Jinshui River are not uncommon. And no one in the water is willing to provoke, so it is also the most frequent place for the life-threatening horse and bandit team. Yang Yu chose the place to rob here. In addition to guard against a strong caravan, he is also likely to encounter a life-threatening team, which can be said to be a double risk, but the reason why Yang Yu chose the place to rob Here, he has his own plan.

The reason why Yang Yu chose the place where the first robbery is the most frequent of horse bandits is actually a last resort. The rampant horse bandits have made the caravan desperately increase the number of guards. Even the smallest caravan has to have 180 guards. Although this scale is not enough to fight against a large number of horse bandits, It's not easy to gnaw. As long as you are willing to pay the money to buy the road, the horse bandits are not willing to fight with them. Over the years, the horse bandits and the caravan have also formed a tacit understanding. No matter who is next to the ground, as long as the caravan hands over one-tenth of the goods, they can pass safely. Unless they ask for money and death, the horse bandits and the caravan will not easily beat you to death. I live.

Of course, if the caravan is particularly powerful, the horse bandits should also hide aside obediently, otherwise they will be unlucky.

For Yang Yu, no matter how small the size of the caravan is, it is not what he can afford to provoke. A total of more than 100 people have been trained by Gao Yongming's half-toned master for more than a month. Even if such a team is against 20 or 30 well-trained and well-equipped guards, it can only be more evil. If they hadn't been busy casting weapons and training during this period, they didn't have time to look for food, and the food stored in the village had been exhausted, Yang Yu would never have come out to block the road so early.

If you can't fight hard with people, you can only think of more ways. After not long consideration, Yang Yu decided to choose the place of robbery in the place where life-threatening is the most common activity. Is this the only way for the caravan or the second most important thing is that Yang Yu intends to try to fish in troubled waters and cheat with the help of life-threatening fame. It would be great to be able to blindfold one or two caravans and get everything they need without using force or provoking Bai's business.

Unfortunately, wishes are all beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Yang Yu led a total of 98 people to bring all the food that could be collected, which was only enough for their one-way dry food. If they could not get anything on the Jinshui River Commercial Road, they would have to go back to the oasis hungry. However, the team of 99 people, including Yang Yu, compared with the size of the caravan they met. However, there is no chance to do it at all.

Yang Yu lay behind the sand dunes, showing only one head and staring at the movement on the other side of the Jinshui River. Since morning, seven caravans have passed under his eyes. Four caravans have gone from Shenzhou to Xiyi, and three caravans have gone from Xiyi to Shenzhou. Whenever a caravan meets, they will be more alert to each other. Keep a distance from each other and avoid giving way. Only when the Bai family's caravan meets, someone will come out of the caravan for a short exchange, but the caravan will not stop.

The sun has turned to the west. Although Yang Yu was anxious, he also knew that he could not be anxious and could only continue to wait for the opportunity. Just as everyone was waiting, the wolf white eyes beside Yang Yu suddenly said, "Brother, another caravan is coming from the west."

At the end of the day, Yang Yu has been happy seven times. At first, he will be excited every time he sees a caravan, but after several times, he will not feel anything special. On the contrary, he is a little excited.

Hearing the wolf's white-eyed words, Yang Yu looked west hard. He could only see the sand and dust rising in the distance, but he could not see the size of the caravan.

"Keep staring and see the scale and flag."

After several disappointments in a day, the wolf's white eyes were also a little listless, but this time he found that there was a weak voice in the caravan, but said extremely excitedly, "Brother, looking at the rising smoke and dust, this caravan is not big. I guess it's about 100 people."

Yang Yu also suddenly cheered up. If the number of the whole caravan is less than 100, the number of guards will be about 50 at most. Although 50 well-trained guards are not a good bone for the current mad gang, they finally have a chance.

Yang Yu also became nervous and turned his head to Sun Shoude beside him and said in a low voice, "Let the brothers cheer up and act when they see the flag clearly. If it is the merchant team of the Bai family, we will withdraw. If not, we will grab the fuck."

Why should it be avoided if it is a small caravan of the Bai family? It is because the smaller the Bai family's caravan is, the more dangerous it is. The goods sold by the Bai family are all very valuable treasures, especially the goods shipped from Xiyi to Shenzhou, either gold and silver or the five elements of the Bai family's most valued crystal. If the five elements are transported In terms of crystals, the Bai family usually asks the magician to escort, and a caravan escorted by the magician does not need those ordinary guards. Therefore, the smaller the number of the merchant family, the more dangerous it is.

After a while, the best wolf's white eyes finally saw the flag of the caravan. At present, he couldn't stand it any longer. He shouted excitedly to Yang Yu beside him, "Brother, it's not the Bai family, it's definitely not the Bai family. The character Lu is written on the flag, and this caravan is not a team at all, all Camel, and there are only 30 people taking care of the camel team. I counted 30 people!"

Although Yang Yu couldn't see the flag of the caravan, he could also see whether it was the team or the camel team. When he heard that it was not the Bai family's caravan, there were only 30 people. Yang Yu couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Most of the caravans in Shenzhou use four-horse-drawn carts. Although there are more than 300 miles of desert from Dinghai Bridge to the Oriental Fortress, the carts built by Shenzhou are still flat on the sand, so the Shenzhou caravans often use carriages to traffic goods, and the Xiyi people's's car-making skills are not very good, and the carriages made can't be worn. More than 300 miles in the desert, so the caravan of the Xiyi people mostly used camels to carry goods, but the camels still carry too little, but the wheel efficiency is far from the carriage.

It is precisely because of the technical gap that although Xiyi people also have caravans, they can't compete with Shenzhou caravans, and the Shenzhou caravans also know the importance of maintaining technological leadership and attach great importance to the construction technology of carriages. Even if Xiyi people can get some carriages, they can't imitate them.

Although the camel is not efficient, it is the most suitable for Yang Yu and others. At least if they grab things, they can use camels to transport things back to the oasis, but if there is only a carriage, it is too difficult to get the carriage across the Golden River.

The ecstatic Yang Yu soon heard another good news that made him laugh. Although Gao Yongming, who had been beside Yang Yu could not see the flag of the caravan, after hearing the words of the wolf's white eyes, Gao Yongming said with surprise, "Brother, the banner of the Lu family, that's not the caravan. That's the camel team that sent food to his life. Haha, it's sent, big brother."

Yang Yu grabbed Gao Yongming's fat hand and said eagerly, "Is it a food delivery? Tell me what's going on."

Gao Yongming laughed and said, "Brother, I have urged more than 500 people under my command, plus more than 300 slaves. There are a lot of people who eat horses every day. Relying on this robbery caravan alone, there are a lot of goods, but where can I get what to eat? It is given by this Lu family business name. The last time you brought me back, it was the time when the Lu family sent wine and meat.

Although he was extremely excited, Yang Yu calmed down and said, "Try about what you know, what is the beginning of the Lu family? How many people usually deliver food?"

"There are not many people. I heard that this Lu family was originally a dilapidated business in Shenzhou. It couldn't get along in China, so it took root at the ghost gate. Later, it relied on collecting dirt from the horse bandits and then sold it at a high price. Over the years, it has become prominent again. In the ghost gate, it is also the leading rich family. No one dares to provoke it at all. After this side, he did business with Xing Biao, so the Lu family's grain delivery team would never send too many guards.

"You mean that they have few guards, so will they send someone to respond?"

"No, that's not necessary. Brother, there is no difference between the Lu family and the horse bandits. They do evil things, which are different from ordinary caravans. If you do it, you must not let one go. Now I remember that the reason why our caravan was urged to be killed was definitely the Lu family's instructions.

Yang Yu couldn't care about why the Lu family ordered Biao to attack a caravan. Now the important thing is to swallow the fat sent to his mouth first.

patted Gao Yongming on the shoulder. Yang Yu was happy and said, "If you say so, then we will rob the Lu family. Isn't it black and eat black? Haha, black eat black, and walk for heaven! I like it!"
