Chapter 33, Counting Heads
The horse's hooves roared, and hundreds of horse thieves quickly intercepted the caravan and expanded in one word...≦
Seeing this, the caravan naturally stopped moving forward without hesitation. The caravan only had more than 100 people. Although they would not be afraid of horse thieves even if they fought alone, the number of people was very different. If they really wanted to fight, they would definitely be defeated but not defeated!
Moreover, the grassland is the "hometown" of horse thieves, and these hundreds of horse thieves are only a small part; if a caravan dares to fight with horse thieves, more horse thieves will soon come.
In short, on the grassland, horse thieves are plunderers, and caravans can only be robbed - unless they are extremely powerful caravans, as long as they enter the grassland, they must obey the rules here!
The horse thieves lined up in a row, and the young man in the middle smiled proudly and walked to the front of the queue with a horse.
"Which caravan is from?" The young man was full of arrogance, and obviously had a high status among horse thieves. He had been in high positions for a long time, which made him very arrogant even though he was young. "I don't need to say more about the rules of the White Horse Gang, right?"
The White Horse Gang is the banner of this group of horse thieves. In the Death Prairie, the White Horse Gang is also a famous gang; it is precisely because of this that this young man looks like this!
"Young Gang Master, we are from the Yan Chamber of Commerce. Of course we understand the rules of the White Horse Gang!" In the Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader took out a small stack of silver notes from his arms and respectfully handed them on it, "Young Gang Master, there are a total of 113 people in our caravan; there are 1,200 taels of silver here. If it is extra, please buy some wine and drink it!"
According to the rules of the White Horse Gang, if you pass by the territory, you will charge tolls for ten taels of silver for a person. However, the Yan Chamber of Commerce is a relatively large chamber of commerce. In order to establish a good relationship with the White Horse Gang, you usually put a few taels of silver a little more. After all, these taels of silver are not painful to the Yan Chamber of Commerce, but they can establish a good relationship with the White Horse Gang, and you will not be troubled by the White Horse Gang when you escort important goods in the future.
"Yeah!" The young man, known as the young leader, nodded and was about to reach out to take the silver note, but he glanced at the fragrant car in the middle of the convoy, and his eyes lit up!
"Oh!" The young leader narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had some thoughts in his mind - having a fragrant car means having a woman, and there is a high probability that he is a beauty!
Few beautiful women passed by this death prairie. The young leader hadn't tasted the fresh goods for a long time. Now, the young leader caught a glimpse of the fragrant car and immediately thoughts came up. He was about to take over the silver notes, but he was also stuck and then took them back.
"Huh?" Yan Ke, the leader of the caravan, felt a sudden smile when he saw this and said in his mind that something was wrong, something was going to happen.
"Young Gang Master?" However, Yan Ke still asked carefully, for fear of annoying the young Gang Master.
"Your caravan is really 113 people?" The young gang leader restrained his arrogant smile, frowned deliberately, and asked.
"This is naturally, one is not much, one is not much!" Yan Kelian said, "Our Yan Chamber of Commerce is famous for its duty in business. If you don't believe that the young gang leader can count!"
"Okay, then I'll count!" said the young gang leader as he followed the words.
When he heard the young gang leader's words, some people in the caravan suddenly became unfair; the Yan Chamber of Commerce has always paid the protection fee honestly, and basically put a little more intentions. They all did this, and the young gang leader still has several people, which is suspected of being provocative.
Yan Ke waved his hand to stop the riot in the caravan: "It is the first time that the young gang leader has cooperated with our Yan Chamber of Commerce. It is reasonable to have some distrust. Everyone lined up and let the young gang leader count!"
If you say harshly, you will not just queue up, but will directly make the caravans into implicit combat queues. If there is any emergency, it will be easy to deal with it at any time and will not become fish on the chopping board.
The members of the caravan naturally stood in a subtle battle queue, which seemed loose, but in fact they could start a battle at any time.
The young leader of the White Horse Gang is not a mediocre person, and he also has good eyesight and can see the mystery of the queue at a glance. However, he just smiled disdainfully. What's the use of the mysterious queue in the face of an absolute gap in strength? His horse thieves army can disperse the formation of the caravan with just one charge.
After the caravan members were lined up, the young leader of the White Horse Gang said lazily: "Why is there no one in that car coming down? Could it be that there are many people hiding in that car?"
Yan Ke's heart skipped again when he heard this, and his ominous premonition became even stronger. Sure enough, Yan Ke was aiming at the lady's car. What a number of heads, it was just an excuse.
After thinking about it, Yan Ke replied, "Young Master, the one in the car is my eldest lady from the Yan Chamber of Commerce who is escorting the car with me, so it is not very convenient to come out and line up!"
"Inconvenient!?" Yan Ke's eyes glared, frightening Yan Ke; then the young leader's face calmed down again, "Since the young lady is inconvenient to come out, that's fine..."
Yan Ke slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but still felt a little uneasy.
Sure enough, the next sentence of the young leader of the gang was immediately followed: "Then I'll go over and take a look!"
"Young leader, this..." Yan Kelian wanted to stop him.
The more Yan Ke, the more sure the young leader is, the more he is sure that the one hidden in the fragrant car must be a beauty. If it is an ugly woman, what is there to be afraid of Yan Ke? Even if he just lets him go and see it casually, how can he stop it?
"You want to stop me?" The young gang leader glared again, "Is it possible that there are many people hiding in the car, and you want to smuggle it!"
Even the young gang leader used the term "smuggling"; and obviously in the death prairie, "smuggling" is a very important hat. Once this hat was covered, the stern gang dared not say anything.
"Hmph!" The young gang leader curled his lips disdainfully, obviously disdaining the harsh obstruction - a joke, in the death prairie, how many lives will he live in the White Horse Order?
But the young leader didn't notice it. After Yan Ke quietly retreated, he sighed helplessly, and then silently compared a gesture to his subordinates to prepare for battle.
At the same time, Yan Ke sighed secretly: "I really don't want to fight. This person dares to open the eldest lady's car door. It's simply..." Yan Ke thought to himself - he didn't know how to write the word "death"!
