Chapter 79 Conspiracy
At dawn, the housekeeper dressed in black and led the people quietly out of the mansion.
The housekeeper followed the map and looked for Erlong Mountain step by step.
The housekeeper had just rode his horse up Erlong Mountain. After walking a few steps, there was a "bang" sound, and the horse and man fell into a large pit. The horse fell to death on the spot. The housekeeper did not fall to death because the horse was at the bottom.
, only the left leg was broken and unable to move.
The convoy on the pit was surrounded by Jie soldiers hiding in the dark. The leading Jie soldier loudly questioned everyone in the convoy: "Which one of you is in charge?"
Everyone pointed to the big pit, and one of them stepped forward and answered the leading Jie soldier: "Our housekeeper fell into your trap."
The leading Jie soldier asked again: "What is your purpose in coming to Erlong Mountain?"
The man replied: "We don't know either, Your Majesty, we just know that we need to transport food."
"Transporting food?" The eyes of the leading Jie soldiers flashed shrewdly.
Ignoring the man, the leading Jie soldier walked to the edge of the trap and shouted into the pit: "Who are you?"
The housekeeper gently twisted his neck, raised his head and replied loudly: "A certain person is a merchant housekeeper in Ji'an County. The head of a certain family has always heard of the reputation of the heroes on Erlong Mountain, so he specially sent a certain person to visit the heroes on Erlong Mountain.
, the food in the motorcade is a greeting gift for those who come to pay homage to the mountain."
The leading Jie soldier was unmoved and continued to ask: "What is your purpose?"
The butler smiled hypocritically, and ended up pulling his injured leg. He let out a hiss and took a few breaths of cold air. He endured the pain and said with a smile: "What is the purpose of so-and-so? The head of the so-and-so family just wants to talk to all the heroes."
Good guys make friends."
In response to the steward's remarks, the leading Jie soldier had no expression on his face and just stared at the steward coldly from above.
Seeing this, the butler could only continue to calm down and said: "The head of a certain family only has a small request." As he spoke, he used his index finger and thumb to indicate the concept of "small".
The leading Jie soldier turned around and ordered the other Jie soldiers to go down and say, "Go and check how much food is in the convoy."
The Jie soldiers went down to count the food in the convoy. After a while, they reported back: "Centurion, there is about five or six hundred stones of food."
The centurion continued to ask condescendingly: "It's just such a small amount of food. Tell me, what do you want us to do?"
The steward looked at the condescending centurion, then at the surrounding environment, and suggested: "Hero, this is not the place to talk. Can you ask your men to pull me up? Let's find a quiet place."
Let’s talk about it in my son’s place?”
The centurion didn't answer. He turned around and ordered to go down and said: "Bring him up, and help him straighten his legs and tidy up." After saying that, the centurion took another look at the steward's fat head and big ears.
, felt even more disgusted, and added: "Forget it, there is no need to treat him, it will save him from wasting the few medicines we have for his injuries."
housekeeper:……
After the steward climbed up after all the hardships, the centurion of the Jie tribe left without saying a word, taking his men and food.
Seeing this, the housekeeper sighed softly and said to everyone in the convoy: "Ah Er, please stay and follow me. The rest of you can go back the same way and report the situation here to the head of the family." After that, he asked Ah Er to lead him on horseback to the direction.
The soldiers of the Jie tribe chased after him.
After they chased for more than half an hour, they saw a valley. A'er said in a trembling voice: "Butler, it seems they have entered this valley."
The housekeeper nodded affirmatively and said, "They entered this valley."
Ah Er said: "I feel that this valley is not a good place. Butler, please be more careful."
The butler replied: "I will be careful, and so will you, Ah Er."
After hearing what the housekeeper said, Ah Er couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Butler, do I want to go in too?"
Seeing Ah Er's greed for life and fear of death, the housekeeper glared at him angrily and said, "What else? Let me go in by myself dragging a broken leg?"
Ah Er nodded as if he was hopeless.
The housekeeper scolded: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Come in quickly."
After entering the valley, the steward on horseback looked at the orderly military camp, and felt the murderous aura and evil spirit permeating the military camp. He couldn't help but nodded, and said in his heart: These defeated soldiers have such a scene, I can't imagine it.
What would a defeated army look like?
Thinking of this, he came back to his senses and said to Ah Er: "Go to the main tent door."
Ah Er drove the horse to the main tent. The guard at the door of the main tent showed the thing in his hand and said coldly: "Dismount and hand over the weapon."
The housekeeper turned over and dismounted. When he landed, his left foot accidentally made contact with the ground, and a heartbreaking pain surged into his heart.
He waited for a long time before the pain subsided. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the guard: "I don't have any weapons. Please tell me this."
The guard didn't believe it, so he stepped forward and gave the butler a security check. He took the opportunity to pinch the fat around his waist and said, "Okay, go in and see the centurion."
With a look of pain on his face, the housekeeper resisted the discomfort in his heart, raised his hands and said to the guard: "Thank you very much."
The steward limped into the big tent. The disheveled centurion raised his head and glanced at the steward, and said, "Just find a place to sit."
The butler replied respectfully: "Thank you, hero."
The centurion asked: "It's quiet here. Tell me, what request do you want me to fulfill?"
The steward replied: "Kill a man."
The centurion said: "Who is it?"
The steward replied: "A child of a noble family."
Hearing this, the centurion chuckled and said: "As far as I know, the family's status in Dai Viet seems to be quite high. Your family head is just a mere businessman, but he dares to kill the children of the family?"
The steward replied: "Hero, I cannot tell you the reason. After the matter is completed, the head of a certain family will give another thousand stones of food."
Hearing this number, the centurion's eyes lit up. It is rare to see people in Dai Viet who can take out a thousand dan of food in one breath. The centurion showed greedy eyes and said: "I can kill people, but there is not enough food.
Give me another thousand stones."
When the butler heard this number, his face became ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "An additional thousand dan is too much. I can decide to add another 500 dan. Hero, this is the bottom line." After saying this, the butler
He raised his head and looked into the centurion's greedy eyes.
After a long time, the centurion laughed and said, "Okay, let's add another five hundred stones."
After saying that, the centurion asked again: "Time, place, what does that noble family look like?"
