Chapter 76 Attack
After more than a month, nearly two months of busy work, today is the moment to witness the results.

Yesterday, a black armor guard reported in advance that the caravans would arrive safely in Qionglai County tomorrow with all the people and the harvest from the business.

So early in the morning, Huo Jing, Lu Weimang, Ding Yi, Lin Chen, and all the remaining [-] black armored guards dressed up and solemnly welcomed the return of the caravan at the gate of the city.

Those who came to greet him also included Chen Wenshui, the local magistrate, and a group of sages from the village.

It was already three quarters of the hour, and Lu Weimang and others had been waiting at the city gate for a full three quarters of an hour.

Huo Jing still had that cold and solemn expression, looking into the distance lightly, while Lu Weimang looked around with tired eyes.

This is a place with plenty of rain. Outside the city, as long as it is not a place where people often move, the vegetation grows very luxuriantly, and it is the beginning of autumn, which is the most luxuriant and luxuriant time of the year. Lu Weimang looked at Green grass that is as tall as a person, and trees that have grown crazy and can hardly stand up to a person. These wildly growing plants can take care of hundreds of people in Kurashita without any problem.

The more Lu Weimang looked, the more he felt that there was danger behind the vegetation, so he looked away and looked at the crowd.

Regardless of whether the black armored guards wear armor or not, they are equally majestic and imposing.On the side of the black armor guard, there are magistrates and others, who are also waiting.

People who entered the city on the way heard that there was something important happening at the gate of the city, and more and more people came to watch the excitement. An hour later, the crowd was packed so tightly that there were no gaps.

The nature of Chinese people to watch the excitement has been due to it since ancient times.

Lu Weimang retracted his eyes and looked forward. Huo Jing's back was still so straight, as if he hadn't moved for an hour. This perseverance and self-control that were always revealed unintentionally made Lu Weimang admire him in his heart. .Sure enough, those who reach high positions at a young age are either capable of reincarnation, or have extraordinary abilities.And Huo Jing, who has both, deserves to be his idol.

Relying on Huo Jing's solemn appearance facing forward for an hour, Lu Weimang looked at the person in front of him from behind with confidence.Normally, she would be a little embarrassed to stare at her. Now, Huo Jing is in the lead, and she is in second place. Ding Yi and Lin Chen are behind her. Therefore, Lu Weimang occupies a favorable position and can stare unscrupulously in front of her eyes. People can see enough.

"cough!"

Huo Jing in front suddenly bowed his head and coughed, Lu Weimang hurriedly looked away, his eyes drifted aside, and after confirming that the person in front did not look back, he looked over again.

Lin Chen couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped forward a few steps, and whispered next to Lu Weimang, "Don't look, you've made our young master's back stiff."

Lu Weimang blushed, but still pretended to be calm, and said unwillingly, "No, I'm looking at the way. Maybe General Huo's back coincides with the official road, so you misread it."

Lin Chen teased with a long voice, "Really?~"

Lu Weimang raised a finger, "Shh, be more solemn, we have business to do."

Lin Chen returned to his original position with a sneer, and exchanged a playful look with Ding Yi.

Lu Weimang glanced at the back in front of him, concentrated his attention, and looked at the official road in the distance.

Finally, at the end of the hour, a black line appeared on the screen, getting closer and closer, and the black line also grew into black figures.

The leaders were the stewards of the caravan, followed by the members of the caravan, and some retail merchants who followed and returned from the caravan.

And almost everyone is controlling a few horses beside them. The horses are muscular, smooth, and their hair is shiny. They are not ordinary horses at first glance.And the horse's back was not idle, there were wooden boxes hanging on the left and right, people couldn't help but feel sorry for the horse, and some couldn't help guessing, what kind of treasures were in the boxes brought back by BMW?
As the team got closer and closer, the crowd behind the black armored guards also saw the caravan people and the following retail merchants. It was as if a switch had been turned on by the crowd, and the noise suddenly radiated.

"My dear, this is a fortune, this trip is enough to eat and drink for a lifetime."

"Hey, look, is that monkey-like man in satin at the back of the caravan, is he from Dongjie? He even came back alive. A while ago, he couldn't survive, so he came to our house to borrow money and said Going to follow the caravan to enter the business route. It is said that the caravan opened this time, and the merchants who followed did not need any money, and everyone followed for free. I thought he would never come back. I didn’t expect it. Look at him. Yahuazi that can be seen everywhere, this is making a fortune, right?"

"Hey, Qingzi, why don't you go and lend the money to Xingzi? Look at how successful he is!"

"Hey, who knows? In the past, this trade route was a narrow escape, but now, even a skinny monkey can break through?!"

"Hey, don't be upset, you know that the caravan has this ability, in the future, we will have a lot of opportunities to make a fortune!"

"That's right, but I heard that in the future, with the caravan, you have to pay money and also have to pay taxes. You see, the nobleman in the middle of the capital is here for this tax gate!"

"Oh my brother, how much money and taxes can I pay? A trip in half a month, at least enough for a year!"

"Yes, yes, let's not spread the news first? Otherwise, what if we don't win a round in the future!"

...

The more the people talked, the more excited they were, as if they saw a golden road to get rich, and the sages were even more excited. Having a caravan means that they can transport goods in large quantities. They store tea and silk as high as the mountains and as deep as the sea. Ya Grassland, that is a mountain of gold and silver!

Everyone's eyes glowed, and Chen Zhixian was even more excited. He didn't care about money. Chen Wenshui, isn't the tide raising all boats this time?Maybe, at this moment, he has entered the eyes of the higher-ups, and this is the real step to the sky.At this time, Chen Wenshui only felt that General Huo in front of him was like a nobleman descended from heaven, so why did he choose his Qionglai County!Isn't this fate?From now on, you have to follow General Huo well!
The caravan over there seems to be slowly approaching, and the leader of the caravan, Wang Xinliang, and the master Song Tongsheng dismounted first, and the people behind them also dismounted one after another, and followed the leader and master in front, kneeling on one knee, "See you?" master."

"En." Huo Jing's lazy and indifferent voice came, "Get up, pass the test!"

"Here!"

Wang Xinliang led all the members of the caravan to pass through the customs in an orderly manner, counting the goods, and the retail merchants waited willingly behind.If it wasn't for the caravan leading the way, how could they reach the Muya Grassland safely?Therefore, although everyone was eager to return home, they still waited obediently behind the caravan.

The reason why the members of the caravan are called Huo Jing’s master is also discussed by Lu Weimang and Huo Jing, because the caravan cannot be established in the name of the imperial court, so the members of the caravan will worship Huo Jing as the main one. Like Ding Yi and Lin Chen, they will be more loyal. Follow-up It will also be easier to manage.As for how Huo Jing communicated with His Majesty, Lu Weimang didn't know, and she didn't inquire.Anyway, although they don't have the same surname, they are a family, and it's easy to say anything about their own family.

The weather is just right today, in early autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, the wind is light and the air is breezy. Lu Weimang fantasizes that if the weather is like this when returning to Beijing at this time, it should not be as difficult as when he came.

Suddenly, the caravan passed through the border, unloaded all the goods, spread out on the site, and when they were in a hurry, there were masked thieves shouting to kill in the surrounding grass. There were probably hundreds of people, surrounded by fans on both sides of the city wall. .

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the people who watched the excitement behind them crawled to the gate of the city. The magistrate of Chen County and the sages of the village couldn't squeeze into the gate of the city for a while, so they shivered in place, and the merchants screamed and hugged each other. In the group, the caravan members are better, and they are holding on to the reins of all the horses. Song Tongsheng has trained them. Once something happens, the most important thing is to hold on to the horses. Others can be discussed in the long run.

The corner of Huo Jing's mouth curled into a sneer, and with a wave of his hand, the black armored guards spread out and rode forward. It was clearly flat ground, but there was the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain to pounce on food.

As soon as they made contact, the masked gangsters who were shouting loudly just now fell down one after another. Seeing that something was wrong, the thieves behind immediately turned around and fled.Behind them, the black armored guards also followed closely.

Lu Weimang's heart was beating like a drum. This shocking scene, the realistic version of flesh and blood made her heart beat faster, but at this moment she was very worried, and looked at the few people who were willing to protect her, "Will there be any trouble?" ambush?"

Didn't you say that the poor should not chase after them?What if there is an ambush?

Huo Jing still looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl, and Ding Yi was always reticent, but Lin Chen couldn't help but said, "When the young master inspected the pass a few days ago, he sent scouts to investigate around the county. , have made preparations in advance. When a trap is well understood by the opponent, then this trap will not be effective."

After hearing this, Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"And, Miss Lu, the first time we met was when we were suppressing bandits in the dense forest. This is the strength of the black armored guards!"

Lu Weimang came to a sudden, she always felt that Huo Jing seemed to have seen her more than once before, and now the case was solved, she really met, and a long time ago, maybe in Feng County.

The sound of shouting and killing gradually faded away, the caravan returned to calm, and the horses stopped roaring. The expression on Huo Jing's face made everyone present feel affirmed at this moment, and only heard his thin lips parted slightly, and said, "Go on!"

The guards at the checkpoint cheered up and continued to count the goods.

This process is slow and complicated. As the goods are gradually counted, taxes and fees are also reported at the gate, "Horses, 132 horses, saffron, five catties, snow lotus, 109, ten boxes of beeswax, turquoise, thirty bunches, 120 taels of gold! Taxes, 530 taels!"

I don't know when, the people who gathered at the gate of the city again exclaimed,
"Get rich!"

“Taxes are too high!”

"Don't go if you think it's too high, it's like picking up money. It's just some broken tea leaves, and you can get so many treasures back?"

"Brothers of the caravan, I am from Zhucui Pavilion, we will pay the highest price for your gems!"

"And we, we belong to Huichuntang. As long as the saffron and snow lotus are of high quality, the price is not a problem!"

...

Next, the fear in my heart could not overcome the pursuit of profit. Although the bandits had just retreated, everyone no longer shrank at the gate of the city. Instead, they stepped up to build a good relationship with the caravan and bought precious medicines and gems at high prices, as well as horses. , There are also people waiting for a high price to buy.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting more and more heated, Huo Jing led Lu Weimang back to the side.

This is the scene they expected to appear. I believe that in the future, merchants from all over the world will come here to sell their goods here, and then buy good things from the Qiang people.In this way, the gateway can play its due role.

 Thanks for voting and rewarding.
