Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 719
The mountain was silent, everyone was sleeping deeply, and only a few people were alarmed by the loud bang of the firecrackers, but the mountain birds were chirping, and the guards on duty outside shouted at the top of their throats, everyone woke up.

At this time, Fatty Ma was not as confused as he was when he was drinking. When he got up, he grabbed a short knife in his hand, but immediately the short knife fell to the ground again.

Right in their camp, there are more than a dozen young men holding knives and axes, and they are pressing the guards and coachmen of the fat man. The bonfire has not been extinguished. It was the guard and men of the ten-caravan caravan.

These few people were very friendly during the day, but they didn't expect to suddenly attack in the middle of the night. Although these dozen or so people were nothing, Fatty Ma didn't care to speak harshly, because there were still people coming down from the mountain.

On the dark mountains on both sides, there was a little light at first, which seemed to be a fire, and then there were more scattered fires. Anyone with experience knew that the scattered lights should be torches.

Fatty Ma heard the leader of the guards in front of him gasping for air. He couldn't even breathe out the air. There were at least 300 people on the mountain.

"Friends, do you know whose goods this is?"

The dozen or so young people in the circle were all staring at their target, their faces remained motionless, and Fatty Ma continued viciously:

"These things will all be given to Senggedu Guleng Khan. After you robbed this, do you still want to continue to make a living on the grassland? Sensible, you take away the silk and spices, we will not pursue this matter..."

As soon as the words were spoken, a guard on the carriage screamed and fell off the carriage, and someone outside shouted:

"The people inside should be honest, don't make any small moves!!"

The leader of the guard took two quick steps to the guard, and the fat man could see a feathered arrow on the guard's shoulder through the light of the fire, and he still had such an aim at night.

There was a bow next to the guard, and he thought he was going to do something just now, when he heard another scream from outside, and another voice shouted:
"Didn't you say, don't make small moves!!"

This sentence is spoken, but it is not Chinese, and it is Mongolian. Fatty Ma ran a lot on the grassland, and so did the leader of the guards. The two said almost in unison:
"Not the tribe here."

Two people backed in with the help of a guard. The guard's forearm was also hit by an arrow. The guard leader's face changed, and he shouted loudly:
"Big guys, don't do anything, hold on, hold on, and the brothers inside don't panic, we can talk about anything, if you see blood, it won't look good in the future."

The first half of the sentence is for the guards of my own family, while the second half of the sentence is for the young people standing in the inner circle. Only now did someone say in a muffled voice:
"If you don't move around, we won't kill anyone!"

How could Fatty Ma and the leader of the guard be happy when they heard this? Their faces were all gloomy. The head of the guard got into a carriage first, and then asked his subordinates to hold a torch to light it up. :
"Everyone, everyone, our Huang's business is in Daming, and we have a bit of face with Senggedu Guleng Dahan. We often come and go on this commercial road. Everyone is asking for money. These silks, spices, and spirits Please take everything, but don’t kill people, otherwise, today will be happy, and we will meet again in the future!!”

"Damn you, you still talk in the same way. Let your people lose their fellows and come out one by one, or I will be merciless in my hands."

Fatty Ma also got off the cart and walked to the side where the torch came down. His face immediately turned dark when he saw outside. Hundreds of big men came out from the mountain. All the short-breasted sheepskin jackets, cowhide boots, and faces were painted black.

If it was a bit of luck just now, seeing such a fierce appearance, Fatty Ma didn't dare to have any other thoughts in his heart, and the leader of the guard was also discouraged, and he opened his mouth and said:
"Big guy, don't do anything. If you can't beat him, you'll die in vain. Your life matters. Lose your belongings and go out!!"

The leader of the guard walked down dejectedly, but the deputy at the side came up and whispered:

"Fourth brother, let the brothers hide the short ones and see if you can..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the face by the head of the guard, who grabbed his front and said viciously:
"There are more than a dozen inside, and hundreds outside. If you do it, who can run away? Your child is only three months old. What are you capable of? Get out."

"...they can survive..."

"If you want to kill people, you don't have to wait until this time to kill them. If you stop them during the day, you can still kill us all. We'll make a fuss when we go back. Guihua City and Datong will allow them to be rampant."

When the leader above spoke, the guards on Fatty Ma's convoy dropped their weapons in dejection and started to walk out. This is the case for the largest caravan, but the others were even more frightened out of their wits, especially after knowing that they had been walking around for two days One night's companion turned out to be a robber, and he was even more terrified.

But the robbers didn't take much precaution against them. Some caravans didn't even have a guard, so it was really not worth guarding against. But in the current situation, it can be judged that their lives are probably safe. Discussing together, this incident really surprised them.

"I don't want silk and spices. Why do you need 2 taels of silver for so many goods this trip? Can you spare them when you go back to their employer?"

"...Maybe life is at stake!!"

We were discussing here, and a robber pretending to be a buddy gave him a fierce look, and he didn't dare to make a sound. A few big men over there had already walked up to them, and someone stepped forward to watch the guards. The guard leader took a look. Seeing that these robbers have their own division of labor and have a well-founded appearance, they have no intention of resisting.

The inner and outer circles were all vacant, and the robbers started to drive the livestock up, and then set up their carts. Since they did not kill people, they would always leave a few carriages behind on the grassland, and it would be inconvenient to move around with too many carriages. It is necessary to drive the guards and other caravans to help carry them.

Cloth, porcelain, silk, and other bulky items are not allowed, as they are difficult to sell, and they are bulky, making transportation inconvenient. Jewelry, spices, and other valuable items should be brought along.

The leaders of the robbers were all looking around. The guards were very specific in their handling and loading and unloading. It seemed that the carriage was left behind and the carriage was handed over to the robbers to take away. It was very planned.

A big man squatting on the ground grinned, pointed the knife in his hand to a carriage in front, and said:
"I want to take this carriage away and load all the goods on it!"

Fatty Ma was shocked all over, and hurriedly stepped forward with a dry smile and said:

"My good man, the axle of the carriage has always been inflexible, so I just walked slowly. Wouldn't that cause trouble for everyone's goodwill? Change to a better carriage!"

The big man stood up, smiled and walked to the carriage. The carriage was almost unloaded. The big man picked it up, knocked on the carriage with a long knife, stopped suddenly, and used As soon as the knife was pried, the faces of the fat man below and the leader of the guards immediately changed.

The leader of the guards was about to step forward subconsciously. The man guarding him was unambiguous, turned the long knife in his hand upside down, and hit the leader's stomach with the handle of the knife, and the leader knelt on the ground unbearable pain.

Someone added some dry grass and branches to the bonfire, and the fire became more intense and brightened a lot. The big man who got on the bus bent down and took out something. It looked like a piece of clothing, but when he threw it on the ground, there was a sound of metal colliding. , the big man said with a smile:

"What do you count as jewelry, what do you count as spices, if you sell these high-quality armors, it will be a big profit!!"

After searching a few more times, a few things were thrown out. There was a clanging sound, but they were long knives and spear points. Seeing these things came out, Ma Fatty and the leaders were completely dejected.

There were whispered exclamations from the other caravans. Guihua City also started to smelt iron and forge weapons, but after all, they were not as good as Daming's weapons.

Moreover, the weapons made by Guihua City itself, and even the arms trade between Guihua City and the Daming Caravan, will only be supplied to the troops of Altan Khan and his direct descendants, and no one else will get it.

However, weapons are always necessary for various ministries on the grassland to attack or kill others, or to protect themselves. The best armor and weapons can be sold there for a very high price. Weapons go out of the border, and Alta prohibits the sale of weapons to tribes that are not Alta.

It is precisely because of the refusal that the price will become extremely high and there will be extremely high profits. The big man said with a smile:

"Three hundred sets of armor, five hundred knives, four thousand arrowheads, and two hundred spear points. These will cost 6 taels. Are you fooling around with jewelry and spices? Do you really think that grandpa is a vegetarian?"

Fatty Ma's expression changed, but he couldn't help but say:
"My good man, do you know who sent these goods and who asked for them?"

Although the big man didn't know what to use to smear his face, his teeth were very white when he smiled. Hearing the threatening question from Ma Fatty, he laughed and said:

"I want to know, do you dare to say it?"

The fat man moved his mouth, but he still didn't make a sound. The big man laughed loudly in the carriage, and everyone was speechless. The robbers seemed to know that the weapons were in the carriage. On the cart, after everything was done, it was dawn.

All the soft goods brought by each caravan were robbed. Watching the robbers walk away, the group of people looked at each other without saying a word. The guard leader and Fatty Ma also stayed there. After a long time, the guard leader whispered:

"How to go back and explain!?"

"What do you say, the border is not stable, report to the official, report to the official!!!"
