While Domhnall and Dill were enjoying wine and food in a Moscow tavern, the commander they spoke of, Jan Vishaditch, was imprisoned in a dungeon in a certain village.
As the mayor of Suzdal, Young is in an extremely embarrassing state. He is only wrapped in a fur and is huddled together with a group of similarly embarrassed guys.
The smell was enough to make anyone frown, but Yang's face was full of indifference. Compared to what he wanted to do, the smell was nothing.
Yang looked calm on the surface, as if he had resigned himself to the current situation, but inside he was very anxious. He was thinking about how to escape and how to pass on the information he knew.
During this period of time, Yang went deep into the countryside of Northeast Ross. After a long period of preparation, Yang behaved more like a forest dweller than anyone else. He had lived in the forest for who knows how many years and had only recently come out.
Meet the forest dwellers in the market.
This time he went into battle alone without any followers, minimizing the possibility of being suspected.
This identity cover helped him a lot, allowing him to really get some useful information from the villagers.
Although these messages are fragmented and seem very inconspicuous, once aggregated and analyzed, very interesting things will be discovered.
For example, some villages have been steadily supplying food to a certain place, for example, some villages have been purchasing ironware from Moscow in small amounts and steadily, and some villages are conducting conscious militia training.
Although such villages do not dominate the total number, their appearance already means a problem, and it is likely to be a big problem, a very big problem.
After all, it is often a pity that only a small group of people take the lead, and the crazy trend can sweep away, not to mention the current social environment in Northeast Russia.
If the towns and villages under the influence of the prince's power still have the intention of paying taxes to the prince, then the vast countryside thinks that they have nothing to do with the prince of Moscow, and they usually pay some kind to Moscow. If it weren't for that Rostislav
Taking everyone to make a fortune, they will not even join the prince's army.
Now, heavily armed grain collection teams come to your door every now and then to collect various materials from them. Although it is not to a fatal degree, such continuous collection is really annoying, and dissatisfaction is brewing in the boredom.
In Yang's case, he finally got something, which made Yang very ecstatic, but he did not stop there because all of this was pointing to one thing, that is, there was obviously a bigger conspiracy and a bigger organization behind these things.
Young wanted to dig out this organization, so he continued to lurk in the village, acting like a fanatical believer, and his actions did bring him sweet rewards.
After a series of enthusiastic actions and help to the village, he finally obtained the source of their orders from the village elders - Veles Valley.
This name set off an alarm in Yang's heart. The valley named after the great god Veles was definitely not simple. Then he swore in his heart that he must find this place.
But now when he recalled that scene, Yang just felt extremely regretful. Silly, he was so stupid. Why didn't he run away immediately after getting the benefit? He had obviously got what he wanted.
Because of his usual fanaticism, he was selected by the warlocks in his area, and was then sent to Veles Valley as a candidate.
However, it is at this link that problems arise.
Yang's identity is that of a forest dweller living in the Kashen area. After the Kashen silver mine incident, this area became a mixed place, and most of the local tribes and villages were wiped out, so Yang chose this place.
.
The village he mentioned is true. This village has an old patriarch, and he and his children and grandchildren control a large area of land in the Kashen region.
It's just that the old man and his children and grandchildren have all been wiped out. It seems that they were finished because they stuck to Kashen, and the village is gone.
But he did not expect that those who conducted the final inspection actually found a person from the village that he said was destroyed by the Bulgars, and he was also the son of the old man, who happened to work for the pagans.
Then after some interrogation, Yang was naturally exposed and arrested.
Then came the torture. Fortunately, Young also had a plan for this. He said that he was a spy from Moscow, coming from the suburbs of Rostov. He came here to explore because he was greedy for Moscow's high bonuses, and found out about the Viles Valley.
After receiving the information, I planned to take the information to Moscow and sell it for money.
The pagans believed this false identity. After all, Young acted very well and the disguise was perfect in all aspects.
This series of operations made the pagans think that Young was just a pawn and did not take him seriously.
Originally, they planned to kill Yang directly, but one of the officers among them seemed to think it was too wasteful. The heretics needed money now, so they simply stopped the killing.
The next step was naturally an economical solution. He was thrown into a dungeon and planned to be sold as a slave, and the dungeon was full of slaves.
Most of these slaves were business travelers passing by, and some were people who showed affection for Christ or even converted, so they were caught here.
After seeing these slaves and getting to know them, Young gained a new understanding of the influence of pagans. The origins of these people spanned the entire Northeastern Rus, which meant that the scope of organized pagan operations reached the entire Northeast.
Ross.
This is no small matter. With the dissatisfaction with the increasing taxes in most areas of Northeastern Rus, if these guys are willing, they can really launch a rebellion that will sweep the entire Northeastern Rus.
Young also heard those pagans talking loudly about their "big plan" and that they just had to endure it now, and those damn Christian exploiters would be finished soon.
Therefore, if Yang Wubi wants to escape, he must spread the news and mobilize his troops immediately.
Unfortunately, the dungeon was built very solidly, and he was unable to find any opportunities at all. Instead, he was whipped several times for looking around.
However, he has connected many people, and there are still many people who do not want to be slaves, and these people slowly unite around him, and they are waiting for a suitable opportunity.
After all, the heretics cannot lock them up forever, they will always sell them. Yang also learned from the chat with the guards that these people often deal with restless elements in this way, and this is their opportunity.
The opportunity came quickly. After who knows how long, all the slaves in the dungeon were escorted out.
The managers told them that they would be sold to Novgorod merchants and then work as ship slaves on the Baltic Sea.
This is very wise. After selling it there, you will basically say goodbye to Northeastern Ross forever.
Soon, the team was on the road, and the guards along the way were very strict. He himself was considered a key target and had a set of big locks on his back.
However, the big lock couldn't lock Yang. Yang was well prepared, and he could easily pick locks and so on.
In front of everyone's eyes, he used a thin iron rod to open the large lock with little technical content. As long as he exerted force, the big lock would automatically loosen.
But Yang did not run away immediately. To attack immediately would be to risk death. He found a suitable place, and that place soon appeared.
Just when their team passed a large river, when Yang saw that half of the team had crossed the river, he signaled his companions to start a riot, and with this riot, the entire team fell into chaos.
The guards never expected that the slaves would riot, after all, they all wore wooden shackles, but some slaves unknowingly untied the wooden shackles.
Since the slaves launched an attack on the bridge, many of the guards were knocked down into the river at the first opportunity, but as soon as the heavily armed soldiers from behind and behind arrived, they would be suppressed again.
But from the beginning, the slaves' idea was not to walk from the front or back, but to jump into the river!
Yang directly unlocked the big lock, then smashed it directly at the pagan beside him, and then he jumped directly into the water, just like he planned from the beginning, struggling to move forward in the rapids, and behind him were the arrows of the pagan.
