Chapter 275 Salt Lake

Looking at the more than 200 camels and the densely packed cargo boxes, Gu Datou and his party swallowed.

Compared to sneaking around to rob the Western tribe in the middle of the night, robbing caravans is the most profitable.

Not only is it safe and worry-free, but the harvest is also abundant.

Unfortunately, this is the first chapter where they have seen a caravan since they broke into the depths of the grassland.

"You!" Lei Er pointed at Matthew who nodded and bowed, "Find ten people to come out and open all the goods."

"Who dares to use their brains, hehe..."

Knowing the person, knowing the face, but not the heart, no one knows what is in the container.

He had to guard against it.

"Yes, yes!" Matthew waved his hand.

The ten caravan members at the front came over in shock and opened the cargo boxes one by one.

Each box is filled to the brim, with all kinds of goods inside.

"Brothers, please show your respect." Matthew said with a sad face: "We are a serious caravan, preparing to go to the royal court of Xiliang. These cars are all loaded with goods transported thousands of miles away, and they are not contraband.

"

"Look..."

"Look at it!" Lei Er roared angrily: "Open all the carriages before talking."

"If you keep nagging me, I will send you to see your God."

"Yes, yes!" Matthew nodded repeatedly.

After so many years of doing business, this was not the first time he saw someone who blocked the way and yelled and killed him.

But since I decided to stay, I just wanted to bargain.

Looking at Ren Ning who was always silent and looking north, Matthew knew that this was the leader.

"I don't know what to call these brothers? Matthew leads his team through here almost every year, but he seems to have never seen a few of them."



Everyone looked on with cold eyes, and no one responded.

Ren Ning looked at the northern sky silently, while Lei Er stared at the open cargo boxes, neither of them answered;

As for Gu Datou and the others behind them, they couldn't understand Xiliang dialect at all.

So those who picked at the nose continued to pick, and those who picked at the ears continued to pick.

cough.

Matthew was delighted.

As long as the other party still lets him speak, it means there is still hope for negotiation and a peaceful solution.

Ren Ning and others ignored him, so he was not embarrassed and kept talking.

"As you can see, we are from the Principality of Langston and are a serious caravan. We really don't have any contraband on the car."

"But as the saying goes, we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but if we are not destined to meet each other, we will never meet. Since we are destined to meet each other today, then we are friends. When we meet for the first time, I have prepared some gifts for all brothers. I hope you all like it..."

As they talked, Tie Le and others from behind finally finished cleaning the battlefield and arrived with murderous intent.

Buzz!

When they saw clearly the tragic situation in the ruins, everyone was a little confused.

Some girls even covered their mouths tightly and started crying.

They had heard from Ximo before that Beixiong massacred the Luoxi clan, but they didn't feel much about it.

When I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that the tragedy was far from being described by the word "genocide".

This is simply hell on earth.

Soon everyone became sad and angry.

One by one, they gritted their teeth and looked back to the south.

I was in a hurry to clean up the battlefield, and when I saw the injured Beixiong people, I gave them a hearty blow and sent them on their way.

Now that I think about it, they were really cheap.

"Do it!" Someone's eyes turned red with anger, "Kill all these stupid Beixiong people! Let them be buried with Luo Xi."

"It's too cheap! I'm going to cut them into pieces to avenge Luo Xi..."



Tiele's blood boiled when he heard this.

He strode over with a flushed face: "Brother-in-law?"

Matthew and his entourage were so frightened that they couldn't hold on to the business flags in their hands. They all had to stare at Ren Ning pitifully.

"We arrived a little late. The three hundred men left behind by Archduke Langston have already disappeared."

Ren Ning shook his head: "These are caravans and cannot be moved for the time being."

Caravan?

Tie Le was startled, glared at Matthew and others fiercely, and then calmed down.

Their hometown is located at the east-west junction of Yunchui and Xiliang. Tiele has always understood the importance of caravans, and of course he also understands the rules.

"Don't make any noise!" He pressed his hands back to signal the tribesmen to be quiet: "This is a caravan, not the Beixiong Army that massacred the Luoxi tribe."

After a long while, Kailun in the back slowly became quiet.

After escaping death, Matthew let out a long sigh of relief, and felt secretly lucky in his heart.

It seems that he made the right bet by choosing to stay.

At this time, the few remaining Luoxi people in Ximo put on their headscarves stained with the blood of the Beixiong people, walked into the ruins tremblingly, and silently picked up the remains of their clansmen.

As his brother-in-law, Tiele did not hesitate to go in and help.

The other Kailun people saw that their young master was like this, so they followed him.

Matthew lowered his voice: "Why are you still in a daze? Go and help."

The other caravan members woke up from a dream and hurriedly walked towards the ruins.

"Get out!" Ximo glared with blood-red eyes and roared, "You don't need to pretend to be kind."

Luoxi's hometown was also on the trade route. Ximo also knew the unwritten rules between countries, so he didn't say anything.

But whether you know it or not, whether you can accept it in your heart is another matter.

Everyone in the caravan looked at each other and had no choice but to stand still in embarrassment.

Ren Ning came over with the Eighth Cavalry Battalion.

He looked at Matthew calmly and said, "You guys look very idle. Hurry up and dig out the things there, there, and there."

Buzz~

Including Matthew, everyone in the caravan trembled and looked at Ren Ning in disbelief.

The reason why they didn't run away was because they couldn't escape, and they were betting that the other party would abide by the rules between countries not to attack caravans.

But there is a premise, that is, they are an honest caravan.

So earlier, they buried some prohibited swords, guns, leather armor, etc. into the ground.

Unexpectedly, Ren Ning saw it.

Whoosh!

The soldiers of the Eighth Cavalry Battalion instantly aimed their weapons at the caravan members.

It's over, it's over.

Matthew's legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

This time, let alone giving small gifts, all the goods of the entire team are given to the other party. Whether they can keep their lives is a question.

Armed with swords and guns, the caravan guards and slaves dug in bravely.

It didn't take long before more than forty large and heavy boxes were dug out.

When he opened it, he saw that it was all the baggage of Andre's troops.

hey-hey!

Lei Er hates dishonest people the most.

He carried the bloody machete and walked towards Matthew with a ferocious look.

Matthew shuddered and said wisely: "Brothers from Xiliang, I know that I deserve death for my crime. But it was not my intention to transport ordnance for Grand Duke Langston, but they forced us to do so."

The caravan members around him, regardless of whether they could speak Xiliang or not, nodded desperately: "Yes, we are an honest caravan. These are all forced by the Duke and others."

Lei Er laughed loudly and raised his sword: "Keep it and tell your God."

Matthew was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and almost suffocated.

He gritted his teeth and screamed: "Wait a minute. I know the location of a large salt lake."

Lei Er was startled, but the knife in his hand did not strike.

There are a few things in Yunchui that are extremely profitable and are prohibited from private trading. One is iron, and the other is salt!
