Chapter 280 Raiders
"Doudou, it's getting dark now, are we going to do it?"

Pretty thin waist said to the soybean beside him.Doudou is her nickname for soybeans.

Soybean said sternly: "Don't worry." He looked at the sky, and it was just getting dark at this time, so he was not in a hurry.

They hid behind a cliff, besides the two of them, there were more than a dozen members of the Zhang family.

These people held their breath and waited for Soybean's order.

Since there was no action, the pretty thin-waisted lay down in boredom, flicking his tail.Soybean glanced at her and knew that she was bored, so she said.

"You're so boring, let me ask you a question."

"Okay! What's the problem?"

"In a cage, there are rabbits and chickens. Now we know that there are 35 chicken heads plus rabbit heads, and 94 chicken feet and rabbit feet. How many rabbits and chickens are there?"

Soybean asked this question in a serious manner, and the pretty thin waist immediately became dizzy!

She clumsily clasped her paws and began to count: "There are 35 chicken heads and rabbit heads, and 94 chicken feet and rabbit feet..."

Forget it, her whole dog is bad!How is this counted!Obviously there are so many rabbit feet!
Then she saw the corners of Huangdou's mouth slightly raised, so she was furious, this Doudou was clearly bullying her stupid!
You want to bully me for being stupid, right? Then I will show you how stupid I am!

So she asked coquettishly, "How many chicken and rabbit heads are there?"

Soybean said coldly, "35."

"How many feet are there?"

"94!"

"Oh!"

……

"How much is a chicken head and a rabbit head? I forgot it as soon as I got to my head!"

"35!"

"What about the feet?"

"...94!"

"Oh!"

……

"I'm going to figure it out! How much is this foot?"

"...My dear, don't forget it, let me tell you the answer!"

"I don't want it! I'm going to count it myself! Tell me how many feet there are?"

"Okay, let me tell you the answer. There are twelve rabbits and twenty-three chickens!"

"No, it's not fun! I'll do the math! Can you tell me how many feet there are?"

When things came to this, Huang Dou finally sighed, and said submissively, "I was wrong, so don't ask me, okay?"

The pretty slender waist smiled and asked, "Where did you go wrong? How could you be wrong, my smart Doudou."

Soybean sighed again, making you feel bad!
The Zhang family behind them couldn't hold back their laughter when they saw the scene, they couldn't beat soybeans.This school bully, there will always be a school scumbag girlfriend!

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed through a hole in front of it, and then it was about to disappear.

This is the time!Soybean is waiting for this opportunity!He immediately roared: "Go!" After speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the shining hole.

Behind him is a very slender waist.Then there are a dozen Zhang family members.

When rushing towards the entrance of the cave, the Zhang family began to transform. Their bodies suddenly grew a few inches taller, their bodies turned into a bronze complexion, a pair of arms grew out of their bodies again, their eyes turned azure blue, and then they rushed into the cave. go.

This Buddhist body protection magic skill improved by Xiaoleiyin Temple has lost a bit of Buddha nature and a bit more demon nature.At this time, the Zhang family's eyes turned azure blue, and it was also because of the exercises.

These azure blue eyes are the manifestation of body protection at a late stage of cultivation. With these eyes, one can see things in the dark, and can also see things that ordinary people cannot see clearly, such as yin gods, such as ghosts.

Soybean rushed into the cave, which looked like a cave, and the inside was gloomy and full of blood.

A pile of white bones was piled up next to the rock wall, some bones had decayed, and some bones had been buried by mud.

In the cave, there are two big, three small and five bear demons eating meat.

That carnivore is obviously a person!

Seeing this, Huang Dou sneered: "Sure enough, many hunters, woodcutters, and herb pickers disappeared in the mountains. It must be your family who did it!"

The five man-eating goblins were staring at Soybean with red eyes, and there were blood stains at the corners of their mouths.

For goblins, humans are a very easy food to hunt.People don't run fast, and
They don't have sharp claws or carapaces for self-defense, and usually a large nest is found when they are found, and they grow even bigger.Pretty much the best food ever.

In the ancient demon court era, human beings were the rations raised by goblins.Up to now, many goblins have changed their eating habits, but there are still some goblins who have not changed themselves.

This kind of man-eating goblin is the target of human crusade!
When the five goblins heard Huang Dou's words, they all laughed cruelly: "I still think there is not enough meat, and now there is a new prey!"

After they finished speaking, they suddenly screamed wildly, and they rushed towards Soybean with blood shining all over their bodies.

Soybean didn't back down at all, but rushed towards them.The Zhang family behind them also rushed up.

The huge bear's paw patted Soybean, one palm, another palm, and another palm!
Three palms in succession, all palms aimed at Soybean's head.These bear demons are extremely strong, and their strength is also terrifying. If they are hit by these three palms in a row, something big will happen to them!
But Huang Dou was not afraid, his copper skin and iron bones brought him a strong defense, he resisted the three palms in a daze, then opened his big mouth, and bit the bear fiercely!

The sharp teeth directly bit through the tough bear skin of the bear demon, and bit into his flesh firmly!

The next moment, the bear demon yelled in pain, hugged Huang Dou's body, and was about to smash him to death!
But at this time, Huang Dou shook his head vigorously, and the steel teeth tore off a large piece of flesh from the bear demon!
"Bah! This meat is stinky!" Soybean sneered and rushed up again!

The pretty slender waist beside him was not to be outdone, he transformed into a giant dog with a height of one foot, and bit at the bear demon!
Her target was the slightly smaller bear demon, probably the female bear demon.

And the Zhang family held sharp knives and ropes in their hands, and began to deal with the three bear demon cubs!

Four hands have the advantage of four hands, at least the sword, gun, shield and rope can be held at the same time.The shield is made of centuries-old pine wood embedded with pig iron, and the metal parts of the knives and guns are all made of iron.

Tianmen County is rich, and these weapons can almost be said to be the limit of ordinary soldiers.

And the rope is also made of steel wire, cotton silk, silk, hemp silk and asbestos silk, five kinds of silk threads representing the five elements, which can already be regarded as a kind of magic weapon!

Under the fists and kicks of the Zhang family, the three little bear demons were beaten and screamed.This cry made the female bear demon feel heartbroken, and she wanted to turn around to help again and again.But they were all stopped by the pretty waist!

Not long after, the three little bear demons were tied up by Wuhuada.The Zhang family freed their hands and started to deal with the two big bears.

Because they wanted to catch alive, after the two bear demons were subdued by Soybean and Pretty Slender Waist, they were both forced to feed the Sleepy Demon Pill!

Not long after, five little bears less than half a meter in length were tied up with ropes and dragged out of the cave.

Apart from bones, there is nothing else in this cave.Huang Dou glanced at it, took out a magic circle from the Qiankun jade clam, and then blasted the cave!
After receiving a ray of light from the Great Dao, Soybean swelled up a gust of wind, swept up everyone and flew away.

..................................................................

In Tianmen County, Zhang Wei imprisoned the Green Snake Demon and the Bamboo Demon in the Demon Suppressing Tower, and ordered the three ugly demons to take good care of them.

From then on, these two goblins will be imprisoned in the tower to become a battery and become a part of the Town Demon Tower!

Not long after, Huang Dou also came back, and he threw the five bear demons in too.Then take that ray of light to Zhang Wei.

One person and one dog stood in the courtyard, looked at the verdant gourd shed, and said: "There are only two lights of the Great Dao, and this efficiency is still not enough."

Soybean said so.

Zhang Wei said: "There is no way. There are very few caves in Daqian, and the big ones are all owned. It is impossible for us to attack, and the efficiency of the small ones is too slow."

The big caves are all occupied by big factions, of course it is impossible to attack, and those small caves, apart from some famous Taoists and some kind goblins, cannot be attacked.

There are really too few left!

One person and one dog sighed, and continued to look at the gourd shed in a daze.

At this time, Huangdou said: "Why don't we go to the cave outside Dagan, this is the head office."

In addition to Daqian, of course there is also Dongfu!
Zhang Wei thought about it carefully, and said: "If this is the case, we know very little about the outside world, and there is no place to find a cave here."

Huang Dou smiled and said, "Don't forget, we still have a huge number of foreign caravans here!"

"As long as there are enough interests, I believe those caravans will tell us everything!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei nodded thoughtfully.

....................................................................................

Tongjin 25 Years Autumn, October.

The first snow is coming, and the last bustling in Tianmen County.Because there are a large number of caravans who want to take advantage of this last time to trade, they are going back!
During these times, the workshop is speeding up production, because the cotton has just been harvested, and the first batch of new cotton products is being produced now.

New cotton has always been the best cotton, and the cotton cloth, cotton rope, and quilts produced are also the best!

Because time waits for no one, these workshops are all overtime production. Whoever produces it first, whoever sells it first, makes money first.

If you don't seize this moment, you will have to wait for the spring to sell.After the beginning of spring, the prices of warm items such as quilts will inevitably drop a bit.This is unbearable for workshop owners who pursue profits.

At this time, a red-haired and blue-eyed foreigner in the inn was drinking tea, and he was followed by two strong men.

He said lightly, "Is everything packed?"

The two big men nodded and said, "It's all packed and ready to go at any time."

The man took a sip of tea and said, "Leave here when we pick up the goods."

If you don't hurry up, the road will become more and more difficult to walk after it snows.

At this moment, a young man wearing a winter coat made of fine cotton came in.

Seeing this person come in, the foreign man who was sitting calmly drinking tea immediately jumped up, then bowed his knees and came to the young man, flatteringly said: "Guard Zhang, why are you here!"

He stretched out his hand and shouted loudly: "Man, serve good tea! Charge it to my account!"

The clerk at the inn gave the foreigner a blank look, but still brought a pot of hot tea.This foreigner can be ignored, but the young man in front of him cannot be ignored.

This young man is the magistrate's family and the manager of the largest cotton spinning workshop in Tianmen County!

In Tianmen County, the largest workshop belongs to the Zhang family, and the largest cotton field also belongs to the Zhang family.This is not because of Zhang Wei's use of power for personal gain to have such a scale.

It was those goblins who provided the little goblins who were willing to do business with the Zhang family. Zhang Wei had a good reputation and was a county magistrate.The most business with him is the most secure!

Other workshop owners may renege on debts and delay wages, but Zhang's workshop will never, in the words of this butler Zhang, 'Our Zhang family can't afford to lose such a person! '

The workers in Zhangjia Workshop have the best benefits and the highest wages.It is also the workshop with the fastest shipment and the best quality!

Now the person in charge of this workshop is here, can this foreigner be careful not to serve him!

Guanshi Zhang looked at the foreigner in front of him, frowned and said, "Why are you left alone today?"

The person said: "Other people left two days ago, and I am waiting for the last batch of goods, otherwise I will leave too!"

He said obsequiously, and then poured Guanshi Zhang a cup of hot tea.

Manager Zhang nodded, knowing this in his heart.The task assigned to him by the master was too late, if it had been earlier, it would have had a better effect.

Then Guanshi Zhang looked at the foreigner. He felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't tell the difference because they all looked alike.

So I asked, "What's your name? Where do you come from?"

"My Han name is Mu Youqian, and I'm from Xifan Kingdom." He said with an apologetic smile.In fact, he has known Steward Zhang for a long time, and he has introduced himself many times in front of Steward Zhang.

But why the people in this country are not willing to remember themselves!I can only introduce myself every time!There is no way, the country is small and the people are weak, that's how it is.

Butler Zhang thought about it, and there was such a person.It turns out that this person looks like this.

He nodded and said, "I remember, your caravan is not big, and the total profit and tax last year was only over 3000 taels."

The profit and tax of 3000 taels is the scale of 3 taels of goods a year, and the scale of 4 bolts of cotton cloth is indeed not too big.Some foreign caravans have an annual profit and tax of [-] to [-] taels. Compared with these big profit and tax companies, this rich caravan is really a small caravan.

Mu Youqian could only agree with a wry smile. He also wanted to expand the scale, but the Western Feudal Kingdom was not big, and the consumption of the people could not increase.

Zhang Zhang brushed off his sleeves, and asked lightly: "Now there is an opportunity in front of you, are you willing to do it?"

Mu Youqian was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed.Immediately said: "My lord in charge, please order, the little one must go through fire and water!"

"It's not that exaggerated, I just hope you can give us some news about the great monster, especially the kind of big monster who has a unique mansion!"

This foreigner has been hanging out in Dagan for a long time, so he understands what Guanshi Zhang said.He may not understand the meaning of Dongfu, but he does understand the meaning of this unique cave.

Some places are obviously not that big, but they are very big after entering. This must be unique!This must be the cave.All cave houses have spatial functions.

Mu Youqian thought about it for a while, and said in a measured tone, "I don't know what is the use of this information, my lord?"

Butler Zhang glanced at him and said, "I'm not afraid that you will know that my lord is going to deal with these goblins."

Guanshi Zhang didn't hide the reason, he just said it openly.Anyway, I am not afraid of leaking, just have such confidence.The goblins in this cave can run, but can they take this cave away?

They don't have the potter's skill!
When Mu Youqian heard this, he was shocked.But when he thought about it, he was human!That's fine!
Guanshi Zhang glanced at him, and found that his eyes rolled quickly, but he didn't say anything.So he continued: "If you can provide effective information, our workshop can give you a batch of goods on credit, let you sell them first, and then settle the bill. No interest!"

"Is there such a good thing?!" Mu Youqian blurted out these words.His face was full of disbelief.

Zhangjia Workshop's goods are hard to come by, and almost all of them are covered by big trading houses.Any goods from the Zhangjia workshop have the unique logo of the Zhang family, which is a yellow puppy.

This thing is called a trademark by the people of the Zhang family, and others are not allowed to imitate it, and others cannot imitate it.Because the master of the Zhang family, the county magistrate is a very powerful mage, he released magic on this trademark, and no one else can imitate it!

The goods of Zhangjia Workshop can be sold at a price of [-] to [-]% more than that of other workshops, while the price of their home is only a little higher than others.

If what Zhang Guanshi said is correct, then he can borrow a large amount of goods on credit. Even if the Western Feudal Kingdom can't afford it, he can sell it. This is a lot of money!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became hot.He really knows a few things about this big monster.

How could there be no goblins on the way back from Tianmen County to his own Western Feudal Kingdom.Some goblins also do "business" that robs money halfway.

For a caravan like his, after such layers of exploitation, less than half of the profits would be handed over to the goblins.

The goblins who want money are easy to talk to, but those goblins who want money and kill them are hard to deal with!
Fortunately, after this kind of goblin appeared, many caravans would raise money to invite powerful mages to kill them...

So, Mu Youqian tentatively said: "If I report the news about a goblin right now, can you let me pay a batch of goods on credit right now?"

Butler Zhang smiled and said, "Of course! I believe that you haven't the guts to lie to me, or you won't pay back the money."

The Zhang family has three thousand fox soldiers, one hundred powerful warriors, and can mobilize thousands of postmen and tens of thousands of militiamen. How can they be afraid of a mere foreign caravan!

When Mu Youqian heard this, he immediately said: "I understand, I'm going to tell you about a goblin. He also has a magical cave!"

Mu Youqian decided to sell the most ruthless goblin who blackmailed him for a good price!
