Chapter 275 275: Fat Flowing Oil 【Seeking Annual Pass】
After some scuffle, the bandits never took down the target.
Kang Shi lifted the curtain of the car to see the chaos outside.
sighed: "Don't take the bait."
Delayed for a while, but no reinforcements came down.
This means that these bandits have no value in existence. Captain Yang raised his hand and tapped on the wooden frame of the carriage, with different rhythms and different voices. As the last syllable fell, horrible screams sounded one after another outside the carriage.
Plop plop plop—
There was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
After a few breaths, the outside of the carriage was completely quiet.
Yang Duwei tightly covered his cloak against the cold, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, followed by Kang Shi. He politely refused Kang Shi's help, jumped out of the carriage, and all the "family members" saluted. Captain Yang glanced casually and saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground.
He looked away indifferently: "Where is the living?"
Soon, two "servants" were holding down a salivating, **** messy bandit. With just one glance, Kang Shi saw that the bandit's hands, feet, and temporomandibular bones were violently severed to prevent this "lucky guy" from committing suicide to the greatest extent possible.
Once he kills himself, isn't the night's work for nothing?
Lili wiped off the blood splattered on his face.
Go forward and ask for instructions, whether you want to take the person down for questioning.
Yang Duwei smiled and said: "No need to be so troublesome."
The bandit's terrified face was pale, obviously imagining some inhuman torture method, he kept shaking his head and begging for mercy, but his temporomandibular bone was severely dislocated, and he couldn't speak, instead he threw out a lot of muddy words saliva.
The "guard" who escorted him frowned in disgust.
Kicked him secretly, signaling him to stay still.
Li Li was puzzled: "No need?"
"Prisoners can also lie, what are you wasting this time for?" Captain Yang saluted Kang Shi, and said with a smile, "Then I will trouble Ji Shou, act quickly."
Kang Shi calmly smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter."
It is very simple to make people tell the truth.
With less time than half a cup of tea, Kang Shi could not suppress his joy, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, you are so happy!"
Yang Duwei hurriedly asked: "How?"
Kang Shi said: "There is a military workshop in the mountain!"
Even the well-informed Yang Duwei couldn't help being taken aback, saying: "Bingfang? No wonder, no wonder they use this method to force merchants to detour and common people to stay away..."
Warrior warriors and Wenxin scholars are a minority after all.
On the battlefield, the largest number are ordinary people.
They also need armor and weapons to fight.
Although the world is chaotic, Zheng Qiao is still the lord of the country in name, and running a military workshop in private is tantamount to "rebellion".
No wonder so cautious.
After finishing speaking, Kang Shi seemed to have something else to say.
"Besides Bingfang, what else?"
Kang Shi had a "rich" expression: "There are mines!"
Yang Duwei: "..."
This fat sheep is really fat.
Yang Duwei asked again: "What is the scale of the Bingfang?"
Kang Shi almost couldn't help the upward arc of his mouth: "It's not small, the military workshop will transport five thousand arrows down the mountain in these two days."
Yang Duwei smacked his tongue and said, "Five thousand arrows?"
Regardless of how long it took to make these feather arrows, this amount alone is enough to make people greedy.
For brave warriors, such as Gong Xiqiu and Zhai Le, the feathers, arrows and bowstrings are all for nothing. One hand turns martial energy into a bow, and the other hand turns into feather arrows. As long as the martial energy is not exhausted, the arrows will have a steady stream of energy, and no matter how many arrows are shot, it will not hurt.
Theoretically, as long as there are enough brave fighters who can transform bows, thousands of arrows will be fired at once, and the firepower will be covered, and the black feather arrows can be compared to rain.
But actually?
Ordinary people cannot "create something out of nothing".
Arrows are very expensive.
The difficulty of production does not even lie in the arrow clusters of the feather arrows. If you are poor, you can use it if you sharpen one end of the arrow, and it does not lie in the selection and polishing of the tail feathers. It is a necessary part.
The real cost and difficulty lies in the arrow body.
The arrow body used by the arrow does not mean that you can just find a piece of bamboo or wood and just cut it.
The straighter the stick you choose, the better, preferably dry wood. If not, it needs to be heated and dried, and then polished and straightened according to the condition of the arrow body, calibrated, and painted to make the arrow more durable. These are all kung fu.
There is also a requirement for the length of the arrow body. Otherwise, the length of the arrow body is not enough when the bow and arrow are fully drawn.
Under various restrictions, the production cost will naturally go up. Without the participation of martial arts fighters, anyone who can play Ten Thousand Arrows will definitely have mines at home! No, now I met a big fat sheep with mines and five thousand arrows!
Yang Duwei is well aware of the production cost of feather arrows.
He made a calculation in his mind, and his eyes lit up.
If this fat sheep misses it, he will regret patting his thigh in his dreams, so he must eat it! Yang Duwei glanced at the soldiers pretending to be "merchant guards", his eyes flickered inexplicably. He also knew that he had difficulty in choosing. He could lead troops to fight but could not command them. In order not to delay him, he asked Kang Shi directly.
"Ji Shou, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Yang Duwei was afraid that the big fat sheep that was close at hand would run away, but he didn't want to fight rashly, for fear of misjudging the enemy's strength and burying these dozens of people here in vain. You know, that is a mine, and there is a military workshop, how can the overall force be weak?
For a while, he began to hesitate.
Kang Shi didn't have this problem, so he immediately made a decision: "Stand still, continue to pretend, I'll send a letter to rescue the soldiers."
Yang Duwei said: "Will you not startle the snake?"
Kang Shi shook his head: "Probably not."
If you startle the enemy, the hidden enemy will either send powerful warriors to kill them, or quickly move the army.
Sly Rabbit's Three Caves, if you don't believe these people don't have a backup secret location. But the dozen or so soldiers, including Li Li, did not use their martial energy, nor did they make a direct attack, so the enemy should not have discovered it yet. Just hold your ground and calm down.
Yang Duwei nodded.
Waved his hands to signal a dozen or so soldiers to dispose of the corpse.
He and Kang Shi returned to the carriage.
Kangshi used the cover of the carriage to transform into a few small and light blue birds, and flew to the destination under the cover of night.
Yang Duwei silently calculated the location and distance of everyone, and said: "The ones who came should be Qi Yuanliang and Zhao Dayi."
Zhao Feng and Qishan will be stable when they come.
but-
It will take two hours at the earliest for them to come.
At this time, there are still three hours before dawn.
Should be in time.
Take down that military workshop before dawn.
Compared to this, Yang Duwei is more curious about who owns Bingfang—that is five thousand feather arrows! Assuming that the batch of feathered arrows were all of medium grade, the cost of one feathered arrow would be around 15 to 20 yuan. Now it's a calamity year again, and the production cost is rising. A conservative estimate is 25 yuan, and 5,000 feather arrows are 125,000 yuan... Yang Duwei is jealous just thinking about it.
You must know that when he was still serving in the garrison of Sibao County, he would argue all kinds of things every year, and the military supplies were delayed, deducted, and reduced... The armory has less than 100,000 feathers and arrows, which are still accumulated over the years...
There are 5,000 sticks in a small Hyogo in the mountains!
How could Captain Yang not be moved?
Kang Shi said: "There should be, but that little thief has not been here for a long time and has not been reused. He can only do some marginal work, so he doesn't know the real situation inside. The matter of Yu Jian is still his helper." Only the substitute knows."
Peep at one spot and see the whole leopard.
This military workshop is absolutely rich.
Yang Duwei asked again: "Which family?"
Kang Shi's expression was a little weird.
"Zhang's family, He Yin Zhang's family."
Tut tsk tsk—
I really don't know whether to say that He Yin Zhang's luck is good or bad luck, why is there such a place everywhere?
Shen Lang planned to take this family into surgery, but he didn't expect them to bump into him before he could make a move. Isn't this a coincidence?
Just—
The Zhang family of He Yin that Bai Su mentioned belongs to a soft persimmon that is relatively easy to pinch. It has a great reputation in He Yin but its overall strength is medium. Now that it has found Bingfang by accident, it can be seen that the background of Zhang family of He Yin is more than that. Kang Shi was a little worried that Shen Tang would kick the iron board.
Seeing Kang Shi frowned, Duwei Yang thought something had changed.
then asked: "Why is Ji Shou so worried?"
Kang Shi expressed his worries.
Yang Duwei said: "Is there something wrong with Bai Su?"
Kang Shi shook his head and said, "It's probably not that big."
Shen Tang came to He Yin to take office, but few people knew about it.
From the surface, Shen Tang wants no one, no money, only half of the elderly, weak, women and children around him, and more than a thousand "elites" of different levels. For such a grassroots team, is it necessary to expend a lot of energy and make detours?
The odds are slim to none.
Kang Shi thinks Miss Bai Su is innocent.
Yang Duwei quickly said: "That lady Bai Su is a burglar, although thieves have thieves' ways, but the He Yin Zhang family is also a local powerful family, if they are really incapable enough for a burglar to figure out their own background, how can they survive until now? "
Easily revealed, can you still call the hole card?
Yang Duwei has also dealt with many powerful families in Sibao County, and has some understanding of their ways. He only cared about a little bit, and said with a slightly complicated expression: "Your Master Shen, are you really going to wrestle with the local snake as soon as you come up?"
He is not very optimistic.
These local snakes that have been rooted in one place for many years, which one doesn't have a few fangs that see blood and seal their throats? Yang Duwei admitted that Shen Tang is very powerful, and even an enemy as strong as Gongxi Qiu can retreat completely, but some contests are invisible to the naked eye—
Not in the battlefield, but in the hearts of the people.
Kang asked rhetorically, "Is there any other choice?"
Yang Duwei was stunned, and sighed: "It's true..."
In this world, there is no turning back.
Shen Tang wants to become the master of He Yin and take root, so he must **** the nourishment of other local snakes. Even if Shen Tang doesn't want to take the initiative to attack, the local snakes will unite and kill Shen Tang.
The reason is as simple as that, either you die or I die.
And Shen Tang chose to take the initiative.
The initiative is in your own hands.
On the mountain, the location is hidden camp.
From time to time, tinkling sounds can be heard in the distance, and a few busy figures can be seen under the moonlight.
Here is the military workshop that He Yin Zhang secretly built in the mountains. There is a vein in the mountain, and the purity of the reserves is quite good.
Mr. Zhang did not dare to speak out.
Thus, by cooperating with the bandits, they swallowed this big cake, secretly accumulated enough force, and prepared to wait for Zheng Qiao's royal court to completely collapse, so they responded to the call and rose up! At that time, they will be able to successfully annex He Yin's other companies!
That’s what the founder of the Xin Kingdom did.
They can, why can't they?
In order not to hinder the plan, he deliberately killed the passing merchant team, as cruel as the method could be, even the common people who went up the mountain to cut firewood were not spared. Another living person was sent back, coupled with the deliberate propaganda of the subordinates, this mountain road became extinct, and their wretched development plan was carried out in an orderly manner, and everything was developing in a good direction.
They don't want to be so careful.
However, they are not the one-size-fits-all bosses in Heyin, and Zheng Qiao, the lord of the country, is on top. I thought I could sit back and relax, but unexpectedly there were bugs coming in again.
is also a traveling caravan.
The scale is not small, there are more than ten guards.
To be on the safe side, the first batch of Feather Arrows from Bingfang is about to be delivered, so there must be no mistake! In order to never suffer future troubles, avoid rumors, and leave no survivors, it is the safest thing to do. Who knows, there was no reply for a long time.
"Did that group take it down?"
The man who spoke was a little anxious.
He was inexplicably agitated tonight. Mrs. Zhang is not considered the top group in Heyin. If the matter of Bingfang gets out and other families know about it, what awaits the Zhang family may be their joint suppression, and it is almost a catastrophe.
Another person replied in a low voice: "Not yet."
"Not yet?"
There are a dozen or so caravan guards. I don’t know if the weapons they use are blunt. My own No. 30 or 40 holds excellent weapons, so they can’t kill them? The man's heartbeat was chaotic and rapid, and his unreasonable panic and anxiety became more and more obvious.
He paced up and down the room.
Sit down sometimes and get up sometimes.
asked again: "Is the person back?"
Another person continued to answer: "Not yet."
"Trash! It's all trash! What are you doing?" He blurted out a few curses, and when he was about to call someone to remind him, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the house, and he frowned displeasedly, "Why are you in such a hurry? of?"
replied: "The big thing is bad—"
He thumped twice in his heart: "What?"
"Everyone who went died."
"Dead???" The man seemed to hear something absurd, furious, "What died?"
"All those who were sent down were killed."
The man's face was livid: "Meet a warrior?"
Bold warriors, even the lowest-strength low-level officials are not affordable for ordinary merchants.
Even if the caravan guards really have low-level officials, it is impossible to kill all of them, and none of them escaped to report.
"Probably not, no martial energy was used."
The man became even angrier when he heard that: "You said a group of ordinary mud-legged pariahs killed our thirty or forty people?"
The person who was sprayed did not dare to say anything.
Facing the baptism of saliva, he could only endure it forcefully, restraining the urge to turn his head away until the other party's anger was a little less. He said: "Do you want to send someone to..."
"Nonsense! Of course I'm going!"
"The people in this workshop, do you want to move?"
The man laughed angrily after hearing this.
It’s just a dozen or so merchant guards who are more capable of fighting. Sending two brave fighters to take people down will solve the problem. I’m still busy with work and business, and time is tight. Why do I need to move?
(︶.︶)
I don’t know if you have tickets for the annual list?
Can you vote for Shiitake for the book "After the Big Brother Retires"?
I want to hit the list.
The serialization time of the new book is too short, there is no annual list, alas.
