Chapter 246 A wave of attacks
A team of donkey carts slowly moved forward along the official road. In addition to the half-mile-long carts, there were also two horse-drawn carts.
In the first spacious carriage, He Yu laughed from time to time, but he had a great time talking to the lucky star sitting in front of the desk. In the carriage, Chen Yanshou was there, half lying behind the lucky star. What is rare is that Shi Wu sat quietly beside the lucky star.
Although there was fragrant tea in front of me, I never spoke, and the tea before moving.
After leaving the hillside to the town below, Jixing accidentally met He Yu, the butler of the He family. He Yu naturally recognized Jixing. Seeing that everyone had only a few horses, he naturally invited Jixing to ride in a carriage.
Originally, he invited Shi Wu casually, but unexpectedly, Shi Wu actually agreed to go with him, which naturally surprised Jiaxing! With such a person by his side, you have to plan it carefully.
He Yu, who loves to taste tea, presented a tael of silver needle good tea, but was particularly valued by auspicious stars, and personally cooked water on the carriage to make tea! He Yu, who had never drunk such a fragrant tea, was uncontrollable and took out two good teas in a row to let the auspicious stars taste and cook.
At first, Jixing was a little dissatisfied, but after brewing this kind of tea, he was very surprised at how could there be such a good tea in Lingnan? He made it himself and couldn't leave a false one. Therefore, he looked at He Yu Gao a little and felt more cute about this fat man.
Chen Yanshou was obviously not interested in Jixing's way of cooking tea, but Shi Wu seemed to like it a little, but he seemed to have some worries. After drinking two cups, he stopped moving tea! Jixing knew that he should not be too hasty, so he stopped asking.
Ji Xing didn't care about this because He Yu wanted to go back to Qichang Mansion, and he invited him warmly, so he walked with them and returned to Qichang Mansion together! After all, it took a few days before and after leaving. As the governor of Qichang Mansion, Ji Xing still needs to go back and take a look!
Among the three major valuations of Qichang Mansion, the He family controls metals and coal such ore materials; the Zhang family controls shipping and pharmaceuticals; the Chen family mainly focuses on cloth and silk, taking into account the cost of study and academic expenses! Therefore, each caravan has its own characteristics!
If you calculate carefully, you can say that there are three families, who have mastered almost all of Qichang Mansion and can make some businesses! This is all the credit of the King of Qi, and Jixing did not feel it strange. Others think that the King of Qi is stupid, but in the eyes of the King of Qi, survival in Qichang Mansion requires the three masters to rely on!
As for the so-called wealthy families, they naturally include three families, but relying on the wealthy families and surnames of these three families, they each divided the rest of the world. With the support and help of these three families, they gradually formed a top class based on these large families and wealthy families!
"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh!"
Suddenly, a few sounds of piercing through the sky and splitting the sun instantly opened the air around.
This sound that made people feel broken and even a little trembling and chilling was like a messenger from hell!
"Ah! Ah!,,,,,,,"
Then there was a low muffled groan and a unwilling moan before death. However, with this helpless struggle, it suddenly came to an abrupt end. Then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground only made a low and dull sound.
"There is an ambush,,,,,!" This caravan on the official road was ambushed in this bright place in broad daylight in front of the weather.
Someone shouted in the caravans in front and back. The team that stretched for half a mile was obviously attacked, and they were blatantly ambushed! Because of the sudden attack, the people in the team instantly approached the donkey cart of the goods and hid on the goods around them.
Some people who were slow to react were still watching stupidly. The blood of the companions who were lying on the ground instantly spread out from their bodies and soaked the surrounding land.
These trucks were all carried by the He family. There were several capable people in charge of escorting. They held weapons publicly and then shouted lowly for attack, taking the lead in hiding their bodies, while watching alertly on both sides of the roadside.
Of course, there was also the He family's guards who directly guarded the two carriages. Because of their shouting, everyone also understood that everyone was attacked.
Of course, there were some people who did not move. This sudden attack was indeed surprising and terrifying, but they watched quietly. However, seeing that only arrows with arrow feathers were left on the deceased, they were killed with one blow, and their eyes instantly became sharp and cold!
There was no attack again, because the silence after the attack made people feel even more frightening. This place just passed Zhoutian, the last inn, into the mansion, and was not far from Wuli Pai in front, on the way to the official road to the mansion.
This Wuli card is a big town that enters Qichang Prefecture. It was originally near the city of Fucheng. It was still ten miles away from Qichang Prefecture, and there were also government troops stationed in it. However, the caravan did not deliberately enter the town, but walked along the official road beside the town and went to the smaller Wuli card in front to rest.
Wuli Pai belongs to a pass. The existence of this pass brings a small market near Qichang Mansion, forming a small market. When merchants usually go to and from time to time, they like to go there to rest and count, and then go directly to the mansion.
The distance between the two places is not too far. According to the normal speed of cargo loading for donkey and mule carts, you will definitely be able to return to the city before sunset. In addition, there are two carts accompanying you, so there will be no trouble.
Although there is no people everywhere along the way, at least the main road to the Fucheng City, many official posts have been set up along the way. These official posts have been stationed for a long time, providing various conveniences and things to help the consignees along the way to rest. There is no one missing for ten miles along the way, and people can be seen from time to time on the official road.
I didn't expect someone to be so blatantly attacking the caravan on the official road. It was only a few miles away from Qichang Mansion, and it was very surprising on this main official road from south to north.
Some people saw the sharp arrows passing by, like the life-seeking Yama, who directly harvested the lives of three people. The rest of the fallen fall were caravan martial artists, and there were also people who were transporting goods. After lying on the ground, they never made any sound. It seemed that there was a lot of luck.
In an instant, the official road was silent, and only the rapid breathing of mules, donkeys and horses could be heard. Almost all the rest of the people were instinctive, and they were alertly leaning against the goods, looking at the surrounding woods, their eyes full of horror.
There are slopes on both sides of the official road, neither high nor steep, and are covered with towering trees. It is actually very simple to hide some people. These deadly sharp arrows come from the woods on both sides of the hillsides.
