Legend of the Knight

Chapter 46 Brainstorming
There must be a reason for Huang Xiaoshi's hairs to explode.

Just now he saw that Shi Yi's caravan was the second team, and then Huang Xiaoshi focused on the black cans carried by their caravan mules.

Huang Xiaoshi pretended to be patrolling from the front to the back of the team, walked back and forth, and then touched the shell of the black jar lightly with his hand when he passed by it.

Huang Xiaoshi's player vision can provide some item information that others cannot see, but there are two prerequisites for this, one is to flash with [Warrior Perception], and the other is to touch it with your own hands.

There are so many people in the caravan now, Huang Xiaoshi didn't dare to turn on [Warrior Perception] to flash randomly, so he reached out and touched the black earthen jar.

Soon, a few lines of names appeared at the bottom of Huang Xiaoshi's eyes.

【A jar of fire oil】

【A jar of Thunderbolts】

Seeing this thing, Huang Xiaoshi's hairs stood on end, so Huang Xiaoshi immediately discussed with the fourth caravan, and they Shennong Baicaomen would be the rear.

Although in the caravan, everyone knows that the belly is the safest, but for these terrible things, Huang Xiaoshi would rather develop his style and consciously step back.

This dragged to the tail of the team, and Huang Xiaoshi's mind began to spin wildly.

Although Huang Xiaoshi knows many plots that will happen in the "future", those plots are just the perspective of the protagonist Dongfang Weiming.

Beyond the sight of the unknown in the east, it is obvious that various events have been happening continuously.

Huang Xiaoshi was surprised to find that he seemed too limited.

In the past, too much attention was paid to Dongfang Weiming. Perhaps this is an efficient method, but it may not be the best method.

Because many events, etc., have already shown their endings when they encounter unknowns.

For example, Shi Yi's trip.

Now, Huang Xiaoshi began to think about the second question.

Why are there such things as fire oil and thunder bombs in the caravan.

Because fire oil and thunderbombs are contraband for military use, the imperial court's attitude towards this inspection is much stronger than that of private salt.

That is to say, if Huang Xiaoshi didn't leave today, he turned around and reported Shi Yi to the yamen. With the reward from the imperial court alone, he could skip delivering the goods to Wuhan this time.

Originally, Huang Xiaoshi was in a dilemma. On the one hand, the yamen delivered the goods within a limited time, and on the other hand, the gangsters who were almost certain to stop the goods, and in terms of the consequences, it seemed to be a success.

Now, Huang Xiaoshi discovered that Shi Yi was escorting fire oil and thunder bombs, now he has to think about what is going on in this muddy water.

"The danger that cannot be seen is the greatest danger."

This was Huang Xiaoshi's father's catchphrase. He yelled and scolded his subordinates on the phone twice in three days, so that these words had entered Huang Xiaoshi's heart and mind.

So, what are the risks of this bet?

This is not only related to the goods in his home, but also related to the life and death of the disciples and himself, Huang Xiaoshi had to think about it from the beginning to the end.

Huang Xiaoshi likes to think about things while walking. He often goes for a walk with the excuse that he is too full to eat, but in fact he is thinking while walking.

A philosopher once said that when he has the most quick thinking, there are only three: in the bathtub, on the toilet, and on the bed.

There is only one time when Huang Xiaoshi's thinking is the most agile, and that is when he is walking slowly.

Now walking slowly with the caravan, Huang Xiaoshi happened to have enough time to think.

First, the known conditions are:

[-]. Shi Yi's caravan is escorting fire oil and lightning bombs.

Second, these fire oil and thunder bombs should not be used by the imperial army, or they must have been escorted by the imperial army.

[-]. Shi Yi is a member of the Sea Shark Gang, and these goods are definitely not for Shi Yi's own use, so they are all Haisha Gang's goods.

[-]. The bandits in Heifengzhai will stop the goods on the way, and then Shi Yi will be caught and imprisoned in Heifengzhai until the Three Heroes of Xiaoyao rescue him from the dungeon of Heifengzhai.

Alright, there are enough conditions, Huang Xiaoshi started to brainstorm.

The first question is, how can Sea Shark help He De and how can he buy so much fire oil and thunder bombs.

Let's put it this way, once so many goods are found by the court, no one in the Haisha Gang, from the gang leader to the minions, will be able to escape.

Although Huang Xiaoshi didn't understand the current court laws, but in all dynasties, as long as the emperors and officials were not stupid enough, they would definitely not allow such things to appear in the public.

Then, the goods of the Sea Shark Gang must not have been obtained from the imperial court, and this point can also be imagined with your toes.

If you want to get so many goods, there is only one possibility, and that is to purchase directly from Thunderbolt Hall.

Here comes the second question again.

Thunderbolt Hall is a military supplier of the imperial court, so why should it give you so many goods from a sect whose name no one has ever heard of in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Is Thunderbolt tired of working, or do you think the emperor's knife is not fast enough?

Therefore, for this transaction to be completed, there must be something more than money working in it, because although money is omnipotent, there are some things that only money can never do.

What goes best with money?

Huang Xiaoshi instantly thought of it, it was Quan.

This right includes power and power.

A simple explanation is that there is a saying that "the county magistrate is not as good as the current management".

The county magistrate is power.

Control is power.

The Sea Shark Gang was able to get this batch of goods, most likely not because of power, but because of power.

How far power can cover depends first on how big its energy is, and secondly on what field it is in.

Being able to cover power in such a deadly field, in Huang Xiaoshi's concept, there is only the emperor.

Apart from the emperor, the only one with weaker power is the prince.

By the way, thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi felt that he had discovered the key point.

There is a certain prince who is very powerful, and his fief happens to be where the Sea Shark Gang is located.

"Then, in this way, the Sea Shark Gang belongs to King Cheng."

Huang Xiaoshi nodded thoughtfully.

Well, the first problem and the second problem are solved, then the third problem comes again.

The Sea Shark Gang, or King Cheng, what exactly is he trying to do by secretly transporting so much military supplies?

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

To be honest, because of the original plot, Huang Xiaoshi has a very good sense of King Cheng, and his next plan is even to take refuge in King Cheng under the guise of his identity.

But if King Cheng was already secretly playing chess at this time, wouldn't it mean that King Cheng was not forced to rebel by the crazy emperor at all, he had planned it long ago.

All of Cheng Wang's appearances in the plot are all fucking dramas!
Really unbelievable.

Don't look at your appearance, talent, and extraordinary bearing, people will immediately accept you and worship you at the first sight, the result.

The result is wolf ambition.

Huang Xiaoshi, who had figured out this link, really sighed as he walked, he had a sense of the collapse of idol characters.

You know, one of Huang Xiaoshi's favorite characters in the past was King Cheng.

Blind, blind, literally deceived by that actor.

Huang Xiaoshi gritted his teeth while walking, and beat his chest on the ground. Others didn't know what was wrong with Huang's family leader, and they didn't dare to approach or ask.

The main problem was solved, now Huang Xiaoshi began to use clues to think about the next step.

The fourth question, why was Shi Yi, an unreliable brat, escorting such an important cargo, instead of Xiong Tianba, the leader of the Sea Shark Gang, personally escorting it.

You know, Xiong Tianba is over eight feet tall, has a big head, a voice like a bell, and eyes that are piercing. Not to mention his fighting strength, he is better than Shi Yi, a bastard in terms of appearance and aura.

But why choose Shi Yi?
There is only one truth, Shi Yi is more suitable for bets than Xiong Tianba.

Well, if you don't think about kung fu, but about connections, it's true that Shi Yi's betting on this trip is the most suitable.

Although Huang Xiaoshi is not familiar with Shi Yi, he is very familiar with his brother Shi Gang. After all, Shi Gang is the head arrester of Luoyang.

Moreover, Shi Gang is not as simple as Luoyang chief arresting the head.

After Shi Gang entered the yamen, he entered the six gates as a policeman, and then solved several difficult imperial cases with his own hands, so he was summoned by the late emperor.

However, Shi Gang's face was severely wounded by the bandits, leaving several horrible wounds with deep bone visible.

In order not to scare Sheng Jia, before Shi Gang faced Sheng Jia, someone made a white iron mask for him overnight.

That day, when Shi Gang appeared in front of the imperial court wearing that white iron mask, the first emperor praised him greatly when he saw it.

So the first emperor brought up the pen and ink, and handwritten the four characters "iron face and selflessness" to Shi Gang.

My brother is a stern arrester, even if the people at the yamen stop Shi Yi's caravan, they will give Shi Gang some face and not search.

As long as he doesn't bump into his own brother Shi Gang, Shi Yi won't worry about being discovered because of the government looking for trouble when he transports contraband.

Thinking about it this way, Huang Xiaoshi even guessed that Shi Yi, a bastard, didn't even know what the cargo he was escorting was.

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi couldn't help sighing, these stupid younger brothers are really not soft-hearted at all when they trick his elder brother.

One is more ruthless than the other.

Well, now Huang Xiaoshi only has one last puzzle left to solve.

Heifengzhai robbed this batch of goods, was it accidental, or was it spotted?
If Heifengzhai did it casually, then after Heifengzhai robbed the goods, where did the goods end up?
If Heifengzhai robbed this batch of goods because of his certainty, then what kind of god is Heifengzhai, who dares to touch such a thing?
The more Huang Xiaoshi thought about it, the more confused he became. At first he thought it was just a simple bandit's Heifeng stronghold, but after digging deeper, there are so many mysteries in his body.

Huang Xiaoshi knocked himself on the head with his fist, he forced himself to give up thinking, if he continued thinking about it, he would be useless.

Seeing that the sun was westward, the caravan found a spacious place to camp. After walking for a day, they could finally rest.

Everyone hurriedly set up temporary tents and searched for materials to cook, and the busyness was full of laughter.

……

At night, many bonfires were lit in the camp, and Huang Xiaoshi and his disciples were eating around the bonfire when Guan Wei invited him over.

In front of Guan Wei's bonfire, a big pot had already been set up on the fire, and there was steam and fragrance gurgling in the big pot, Huang Xiaoshi knew it as soon as he smelled it, it was the mutton pot in Keyuelou.

Although the pot on the fire was big, there were not many people around the fire. Including Huang Xiaoshi, there were six people in total. Except for Guan Wei and a bodyguard who belonged to the Changhong Bodyguard Agency, the rest were only one person from each firm. .

"Everyone, it's inevitable that the hospitality in this wilderness is not good enough. Guan Wei presents a bowl of soup to everyone." Guan Wei raised a large bowl and said to everyone.

After eating a bowl of delicious mutton soup, Guan Wei took a piece of mutton out of the cauldron with chopsticks and put it in the bowl, then he said proudly: "Come on, everyone, you are welcome, I will eat first as a respect .”

At first, everyone was not a stickler, but after Guan Wei opened up, everyone let go.

There must be dried minced meat in the dry food of Shennong Baicaomen, but the taste is definitely not comparable to that of mutton pot.

Huang Xiaoshi ate and drank recklessly while holding the big bowl, and when he put down the bowl and chopsticks, the big pot basically bottomed out.

After everyone ate and drank enough, Guan Wei began to talk about business.This is really about the formation of caravan guards.

What the joint caravan is most afraid of is that they will not be united in case of troubles, and they will not cooperate when encountering thieves. These kinds of independent or self-righteous behaviors are extremely short-sighted.

Guan Wei called everyone together on the first day in order to re-deploy and group the personnel, and at the same time emphasized once again that they should accept unified command in case of trouble.

After getting approval from Huang Xiaoshi and Shi Yi, the bosses of the other two caravans readily agreed to Guan Wei's request. Afterwards, Guan Wei counted the manpower of each family. He drew on the ground with a branch and said, It roughly talked about the four situations of the enemy coming from the front, the enemy coming from the rear, the enemy coming in the middle, and the front and rear flanking attacks respectively, and it was also clear and logical.

Regardless of Guan Wei's young age, he has been walking darts with Guan Changhong since he was a child. Since he can grow up so smoothly, it shows that whether it is the skills of his hands or the way of life in his mind, he is not too bad.

After Guan Wei finished making arrangements, Huang Xiaoshi returned to his caravan, and by this time the porters and doormen had already fallen asleep.

Going out is not as good as being at home. Getting up early and staying late is commonplace, so if everyone can go to bed early, there will be no delay.

It may be that he habitually stays up late on weekdays, and likes to meditate with a lamp on when he has nothing to do, but now he goes to bed as soon as night falls, Huang Xiaoshi is really not used to it.

When Huang Xiaoshi was lying on his quilt, after turning left and right for a dozen times, he finally fell asleep gradually.

The next day, the sky just turned white, and the caravan came to life under the dim light. People were busy fetching water, feeding livestock, lighting a fire for cooking, and dismantling tents. Everything was in a hurry.

Huang Xiaoshi was woken up in a daze, he was not diligent by nature, and now no one dared to wake him up to work, so Huang Xiaoshi turned over and fell asleep again, and stayed there until the sun rose, and finally is up.

Everyone had already prepared breakfast, Huang Xiaoshi woke up with sleepy eyes, went directly to eat a full meal, and then went for a stroll.

Huang Xiaoshi's nature is to love leisure and hate work, to be industrious and frugal, that doesn't exist.

The next day I set off like this, and I didn't rest until I set up camp in the evening. After a whole day's journey, I estimated that I only traveled forty or fifty miles.

This is the case with a large group of people, the more people there are, the slower they are.

A single person rides fast and then transfers along the road, and a thousand-mile road can arrive at night;
With only his own two feet, Huang Xiaoshi can get there in at most three days;

As for the caravan, if they were able to arrive in Wuhan in mid-May, it would be regarded as a smooth journey without delay.

They walked safely for four days like this, and when they were about to leave Luoyang, when even Huang Xiaoshi was worried about whether the bandits from Heifengzhai would come or not, the bandits finally blocked them.
