The Book of Troubled Times Chapter 263

  Chapter 263 Heroes Meeting

  At night, around the market, there are camps all over the desert. There are fewer people in the middle of the night than in the evening, but there are still people carrying goods and loading them to work.

  Zhao Changhe looked at it from a distance, and always remembered some scenes of ports and wharfs, which are really places where businesses gather.

   I don't know what kind of tacit understanding there is between the various caravans. Whether they have already divided their respective territories in advance, it seems that each has its own scope and does not interfere with each other. Although there are many people, they are not chaotic.

   It also happened to be convenient for Zhao Changhe to investigate the matter, and it would be a headache if it really got into a mess.

  He easily found the caravan camp of the Qiao family. At this time, some people were also moving goods inside. It seemed that they were jewelry, spices and sheepskin, and they were going to bring them back to Middle Earth. The deliverer seemed to be directly delivered by the Hu merchants in the market, and the dissatisfied complaints of the Hu merchants could be vaguely heard: "Second Master Qiao is getting bigger and bigger now, hiding in the tent without even seeing him." , is this the etiquette of your Central Plains?"

  Someone who seemed to be in charge was laughing apologetically: "Originally, Second Master Qiao brought the young master into the market, but he was beaten when he was eating at Sanniang's..."

   "Second Master Qiao is too courageous to provoke Yuan Sanniang? Commander Wu dare not force this woman, I heard that she has a backer!"

"Hey, how can I offend Sanniang, but the other party's background may not be small. I heard that he is the king of the Wang family. His strength is worthy of the top list, and the pinch under his arm can actually pinch off the second master's hand. .” The steward made a gesture of clamping his armpits, and grinned: “This is too scary…”

  Hu Shang also took a breath: "What kind of **** is this? Since it is the strength of the list, it may really be king."

   "Yeah, we think so too. Even if it's a fake Wang family, the second master doesn't dare to bet. What if it's real? Do you want to go back to Middle-earth?"

   "Speaking of which, there are still people in the Wang family who dare to appear near the War Lion tribe?"

   "I don't know about that. Anyway, the Warrior Lion tribe is now crossing the river with a mud bodhisattva, and I'm afraid they don't have the heart to trouble the Wang family..."

  The two of them entered the room all the way, surrounded by a group of laborers carrying goods, and a few guards following behind.

  No one noticed that there was a yellow-faced man among the laborers who were busy moving goods, mixed in and entered the village.

  Because he thinks the two dialogues are very informative, and it is worth listening to two more sentences.

   Sure enough, I heard Hu Shang asking: "Then I said before that I brought six slaves this time? Are they in the car?"

The steward subconsciously glanced left and right, and lowered his voice: "This time, they are all masters of martial arts in the Middle Earth. The lowest ones have the fifth level of the entrance, and the higher ones have the seventh level. The price is not low. The second master is planning to go to the animal farm If it's auctioned, maybe Commander Wu will be very interested."

The Hu merchant frowned: "This is not a good product... Too strong martial arts masters can't be controlled, and they may escape easily and may backfire. I am afraid that except for the commander of Wu, ordinary forces dare not take it easily. Not only can you not bid for this auction, but It may be that the price was lowered by the leader of Wu."

  The steward was obviously also mentioned in his heart, and sighed: "I don't think it's appropriate, but the second master thinks this is a business opportunity..."

  Hu Shangdao: "How did the second master catch it? It's not easy. I've seen a master of the sixth level. He can run faster than a horse with light work, and his endurance is no worse than a horse."

"They went to scout the wild wolf tribe, and they were found and hunted down. While fleeing for their lives, they saw our caravan. They saw that it was a caravan from the Central Plains, and thought they were saved." Capture them."

  Zhao Changhe took a deep breath, clenched his fists and resisted not drawing his sword.

The clues to the task assigned by Cui Yuanyong were much easier to find than expected. Fortunately, the two Qiao family members were not killed in the restaurant before, otherwise the caravan would be in chaos, and most of them would withdraw directly. Get killed by them to avoid trouble.

  But Zhao Changhe didn't feel relaxed at the moment, on the contrary, he was ten thousand times more annoyed than when he came.

  This team is a hot-blooded man, they are here to help Yanmen defend, and they will go out of the pass to reconnaissance without hesitating their lives! Not out to travel!

  They resisted the barbarians, who were they protecting?

   I'm afraid that these men never thought that they would be betrayed by the people they protected. This kind of spiritual blow is far better than destroying the physical body.

  Luckily among misfortunes, they should all be alive and not disabled, and the six heroes were rescued.

  Even the well-known and profit-oriented Hu merchants couldn't stand it, and asked, “Just for a few slave money?”

"It's more than that. Our batch of food is going to be handed over to the wild wolf tribe. Wouldn't they be seen all in the team? Tell Huangfu Yongxian or Tang Wanzhuang later, what should we do? Or kill them." Yes, or you can sell them for money if you catch them, or that's the way it is.”

Of course, Hu Shang was too lazy to say much, he just said: "Everyone is old acquaintances, just sell this batch to me and finish the job, don't go to shoot, listen to my advice, it's not worthwhile... Commander Wu wants you to give it away for free, maybe you have to give it away .”

  Guan Shi said: "I have no right to decide this, you have to ask the second master."

  Hu Shangdao: "It will take time for them to load the goods. I just went to find out how the second master's injury is."

   The two walked towards the camp tent while talking, Zhao Changhe pretended to carry the goods, thinking to himself.

  There are too many people here, it is impossible to save people, and even a little movement will cause the entire caravan of thousands of people to surround them, even if they are rescued by force, they will not be able to escape. This shows the inconvenience of being alone, but if there is a partner who makes a little noise on the other side, it can be operated here...

   Do you want to find some helpers, such as paying Sanniang for a favor, will she be willing?

  While thinking about it, there was a loud noise in front of the camp gate: "Where is the drunkard, go!"

  A somewhat familiar voice said drunkenly: "Damn it, why don't you have any money? Where's your orchid? Come out and dance!"

   Zhao Changhe's eyes lit up.

  Situ laughed!

  Helper is here!

  The gate guard cursed angrily: "Damn it, this is not the orchid camp. The prostitute village you want is on the other side! I still want to go!"

   "Isn't it Hu Jiying? I don't believe it! I see you like a chicken..."

   "Fuck off you drunk!"

  The gate of the village began to fight. In the main tent, Mr. Qiao was wearing a bandage, and was sending the Hu merchant out, talking about something, when he saw this, he said angrily: "Where is the drunkard making trouble here? Go and see some people!"

  Left and right went to take orders, Second Master Qiao said to Hu Shang: "My brother is right, these people might as well sell you privately and finish the job..."

   Before the words fell, a sword light suddenly appeared behind the tent.

This is Jian Guang who has been lurking here for who knows how long. It is very likely that someone secretly lurked here when the two of Qiao's family went to the market for dinner. Chrono was motionless.

   To be able to do such a thing, except Ting Xuelou's top assassins, only those who make a living as bounty hunters...

   Han Wubing!

  At this once-in-lifetime opportunity to cause trouble at the gate of the village, Han Wubing, who had been lurking for a long time, made a bold move to assassinate Qiao Er!

  To Han Wubing's surprise, Qiao Er's skill was mediocre and his hand was broken. The sword that he thought would kill him was blocked by someone.

  Only hearing a "clang", it was actually the Hu Shang holding a scimitar in his hand, parrying Han Wubing's sure-kill sword, Han Wubing passed by, and the Hu Shang was shocked back several steps.

   "Unexpectedly, there are such masters among the barbarians in the Western Regions, so I lost my mind this time." Han Wubing thought to himself, before he had time to give Qiao Er a sword, he quickly dodged and retreated behind the stronghold.

   Qiao Er was quickly surrounded by people, and he was jumping in the crowd and yelling angrily: "What are you doing in a daze! The people in front are blocking him!"

  Countless crowds of people rushed towards Han Wubing. In the dark night, Han Wubing looked like a ghost, blood sprayed everywhere he passed, and the **** light all the way went straight out of the village with screams.

  Situ Xiaoren, who caused trouble at the gate of the village, was dumbfounded.

  He and Han Wubing had never even met face to face, let alone made an appointment. It was purely because he found out that this was a convoy of businessmen from the Central Plains coming here for trade, and he was so angry that he made a temporary disturbance to attract Qiao Er to come out and see if he could take the head in person and run away.

   As a result, just as the incident broke out, someone inside was assassinated ahead of time.

  This is a good guy.

   Facing the expression on the gate guard's face that he regarded himself as an accomplice, Situ Xiao was not depressed as if he was lying on the gun, but was willing to be an accomplice. He took a sip of wine leisurely, and suddenly sprayed the torch at the gate of the village.

  With a bang, flames shot into the sky, the gates of the village, camp tents, carts entering and exiting, and spices and clothing were ignited, and the flames spread wildly all the way.

  The camp finally became a mess, and all the people who loaded the cars here were affected, and under the call of the leader, they dropped their work and rushed out to fight the fire.

  Zhao Changhe looked at the carriages and horses around him that suddenly became empty, and quickly opened the doors from carriage to carriage to find someone.

  Brothers, please hold on for a while, I will help you after saving someone.

   "哐!" After opening more than a dozen carriages, they were all empty, and after finally opening it, it seemed that several people were sleeping inside. Zhao Changhe's eyes lit up, and he was about to get into the car when his side neck suddenly felt cold.

  Zhao Changhe instinctively dodges, but finds that the opponent's sword path is mysterious and abnormal, and he can't dodge at all when he loses the upper hand...

  The long sword was already on the neck, and a cold voice came from behind: "Which car is loaded with grain and fodder, take me to get it... Hey, your knife..."

  Zhao Changhe sighed, and looked at the long-lost face behind him: "You robbed the food and fodder, and take me away by the way? How about being a villager?"

  Yue Hongling's eyes widened.
