Chapter 405: Retrieving eggs without killing chickens
Feng Jiuxiao was sitting on the carriage at this time, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Now that he is lame in one leg, it is inconvenient for him to ride a horse, so he can only ride in a car.
As for the others, some rode horses and others rode in cars.
Most of the people riding horses are merchants from short distances, and most of the people traveling by car are merchants from far distances. Of course, many of them are because they have women.
There were also people on foot, including the heads of the escort agencies.
Most of the people gathered in Liushu Town this time were elders leading younger ones or elder brothers leading younger ones down the mountain for training. A few of them were passing by on missions.
People like Master Daoji and Taoist Chang Yue originally led their disciples to wish the Master of Wuyou Valley a happy birthday. They took the opportunity of celebrating his birthday to open their eyes and deepen their friendship. Naturally, they wanted to go there at this time.
After celebrating his birthday, the remaining gangsters followed Feng Jiuxiao towards Black Wind Ridge!
A team marched towards Heifeng Ridge!
The mountains and rivers of Shu are endlessly beautiful. Along the way, the heroes admired the green mountains and green waters on both sides of the road. It was clearly a sightseeing tour, but it didn't look like going to the mountains to suppress bandits?
Heifeng Ridge is seventy miles ahead. Banditry has always been rampant there. Since Heifeng Ridge is the only way to pass through several nearby cities and counties, the business of the escort agencies within a hundred miles is relatively good. Among the heroes, there are at least four escort agencies.
The escort is among them!
The goods they delivered were naturally taken away by Heifeng Village!
Heifeng Village is their old rival!
In order to deal with Heifeng Village, several escort bureaus established an "escort agency alliance". Usually four or five escort bureaus join forces to go on a escort trip. Each escort agency does not rush to leave when receiving a task, and waits until the other several escort agencies have received the request.
After the mission, at least four companies, each with more than thirty people, were gathered together before setting off together! Of course, each company received more than one mission. Those employers naturally understood the bad situation in Black Wind Ridge, and usually were not in a hurry to rush the shipment.
.Everyone understands that it is impossible to break through Black Wind Ridge with the power of a bodyguard agency!
Of course, if ordinary people fly through Heifeng Ridge, Heifeng Ridge will basically not notice it.
Unless those people carrying big and small bags and pulling big and small boxes pass by, they will search them. If they encounter something filled with Shu embroidery specialties, gold, silver, pearls, agate, etc., of course they will keep them, but they only
Steal wealth without killing your life.
According to Black Wind Old Demon, take the eggs without killing the chicken!
Let other chickens have the courage to risk passing through here, so that they can have a chance to rob the chicken again and get the eggs!
If we kill the chicken to get the eggs, how can any chickens dare to take this route again? If there are no chickens, how can we get the eggs?
But when the escort agency protects the goods, this rule is broken immediately. Because the escort has weapons! The escort will resist!
The sword has no eyes, so there will inevitably be casualties!
The four escort agencies in the crowd are Zhenyuan, Weiyuan, Changfeng and Jinshi!
Each escort agency is still equipped with thirty people as standard! A total of one hundred and twenty people! Normally, Heifeng Village of this size will not be able to escape! Even if these one hundred and twenty people are eliminated, at least oneself will lose money.
Almost the same manpower! The loss is too great.
It is said that the Black Wind Old Demon is already at the peak of the Ninth Realm, but you can't let a Ninth Realm peak person take action every day just to rob those three melons and two dates? This Ninth Realm peak person is too cheap!
Especially now that this person at the top of the Nine Realms has somehow changed his gender. He is no longer greedy for money or lustful, and instead pursues martial arts! Some people say that he was temporarily tempted after hearing that the Demon Lord wanted to become a Taoist from a demon, and wanted to use martial arts to achieve Taoism and live forever! So now
Everyone will no longer be able to see this black wind old demon!
Twelve escort cars belonging to four companies, Zhenyuan, Weiyuan, Changfeng and Jinshi, were taken away at once.
Among them are valuable golden silk Sichuan embroidery, as well as ten live golden monkeys. This small monkey from the Sichuan area has golden yellow fur, long hair on its shoulders and back, and a tail as long as the body or longer. The adult male
With a body length of only 20 inches and a tail of 25 inches, it is the favorite of princes and nobles, especially women from wealthy families. It is one of the two most famous cats along with the Persian cat of the Western Regions.
There is also a rare iron-eating beast. Some people also call this monster a giant panda. It is black and white, naive and loves to eat bamboo. This is a beast that a mysterious guest paid a lot of money to acquire, and actually asked them to escort it to Liaodong! I guess!
It was a tribute to Emperor Liao!
In addition, there is Emeishan Bamboo Leaf Green Tea with an annual output of only tens of kilograms!
There is also the hard-to-find Juque inkstone. Its color is purple and black, the stone is dense and fine, translucent and moist, the ink is as good as oil, and the ink does not rot when stored.
In addition, there are precious medicinal materials special to Sichuan, such as cordyceps, fritillary, musk, etc. from the mountains, dried ginger, turmeric, etc. from Minjiang River, aconite from Jiangyou, Ophiopogon japonicus from Mianyang, Ligusticum chuanxiong from Dujiangyan, Angelica dahurica from Suining,
White peony root and salvia miltiorrhiza from Zhongjiang, Zanthoxylum bungeanum from Hanyuan, Achyranthes bidentata from Tianquan, etc. are famous all over the world. In addition, there are also local medicinal materials such as Sichuan Aconite, Sichuan Koxiang, Yuanpu, Gastrodia elata, Eucommia ulmoides, Phellodendron cypress, Desmodium chinensis, Tremella fuciformis, etc.
They are all valuable! The key is that these medicinal materials are not just a matter of money, these medicinal materials involve the life and death of countless patients! So even if the Shu Embroidery, Shu Brocade, golden monkeys and giant pandas cannot be recovered, these medicinal materials must be recovered!
The leaders of the four escort agencies clearly expressed to Feng Jiuxiao the importance of these twelve escort cars and everyone's anxious mood at this time!
Feng Jiuxiao said that as long as the things are still on the mountain, they will be able to recover them!
After walking for several miles, we reached a fork, which was the road leading to Yuzhou.
Black Wind Ridge is on this road.
The road leading to Yuzhou is relatively flat.
Successive local officials have actively built roads, because although Shu is rich in products and should develop better, it is severely restricted by rugged roads. Therefore, among the several aspects of the Shu emperor's assessment of officials, road construction is the most important.
An important one!
Going further, the scenery suddenly changes. On the left side of this section of the road are endless mountains, and on the right side are deep valleys that twist and turn with the mountains. In the valley, a small river flows endlessly. It is said to be a tributary of Wujiang River, and Wujiang River
It joins the Yangtze River in Fuling.
There were a dozen trackers on the river pulling a large boat upstream.
The trackers were all bare-chested, revealing their strong muscles and dark skin on their arms, but most of them had protruding ribs and seemed to be malnourished. Some of the older ones were even naked.
Chang Zijin and Li Erni were now disguising themselves as men, abandoning their carriages and riding horses. It was inevitable to blush when they saw these men without clothes.
Li Erni asked Zeng Yong: "Do you know why the trackers don't wear clothes? Is this the local custom?"
Zeng Yong shook his head and said: "How do I know this? You might as well ask Mr. Liu!"
So Li Erni turned around and asked Liu Mizhou.
Liu Mizhou looked at the trackers and said quietly: "There are usually three reasons. First of all, the trackers are mostly from poor families. If the clothes are stretched, soaked in sweat and salt, and the fibers are worn, the clothes will last for a few days.
Trouble? So they can’t bear to wear clothes! They have to go into the water frequently when stretching, and there is no time to take off their clothes! The last and most important point is to prevent illness! If you wear clothes, you can stay on the shore for a while and in the water for a while.
After staying in there for a while, the clothes will get wet on the body, and when they are wet, they will not only feel sticky and uncomfortable, but also prone to joint disease and gout, so it is better not to wear any clothes!"
Chang Zijin and Li Erni suddenly realized.
At this time, the trackers were shouting, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, drag, drag, drag, drag..."
Sonorous and powerful, echoing in the empty valley, it has a special interest.
