Chapter 141 Attacked in the middle of the night!

"Third, when will you stop being so funny|forceful?"

Mei Xuedong looked at Luo Jiahao with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said, "Didn't you see the end of the rocks?"

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, in case their elite soldiers are cats in the dark..."

Said, Mei Xuedong looked at Pan Yulin: "Anyway, our family is not the only one who misses Jiang Tian's death, why should we take advantage of this?"

"Second brother is right."

Several groups of bandits are not good friends, but intrigues, you plot against me, I plot against you, everyone wants to expand their power and territory, Pan Yulin immediately thinks it is true.

After complimenting Mei Xuedong, he immediately ordered down: "Tell the brothers below, from now on, without my order, it is strictly forbidden to go out without my order..."

"Also, ask the spies to stare at Jiang Tian for me."

On the Yingchou stream, as soon as the secret sentries left, Jiang Tian called Jin to withdraw his troops and went back to the camp to practice.

In the next few days, Jiang Tian took Lin Shiyan to go out to show his face every now and then. Sometimes, he would imitate those literati, drinking wine, reciting poems, playing the piano and composing poems in beautiful places.

As a prince, he not only practiced martial arts, poetry, etiquette and music, but also received strict training when he was young. Coupled with the accumulation of his previous life, not to mention writing fine and beautiful articles, it is definitely not a problem to be synonymous with elegance once in a while. Lin Shiyan's eyes were full of stars when she looked at him.

The recruits had just undergone rigorous training under the supervision of Qiu He and Kuang Qi.

Sometimes, Jiang Tian would make them go to the field to practice, to watch and confront the bandits at close range, so that they could feel the tense atmosphere of war and hone their will to fight.

Although many people lost weight under the overloaded training, their eyes became sharper, and they gradually took on the appearance of iron-blooded soldiers.

Seeing their "rampant" appearance, the three groups of bandits were even more uncertain and wanted to make others take advantage of them, so the situation here has entered a strange stalemate.

Jiang Tian's heart is like a bright mirror, and he can see the dynamics and thoughts of all parties. Under the watchful eyes of various forces, he has lived a life of semi-submerged cultivation leisurely.

In the blink of an eye, several days later, it was time for the caravan to go to Ximan City for business.

Everyone knew that this was a critical juncture in the entire Black Rock City battle, and the atmosphere became unprecedentedly tense in vain.

Early this morning, Chu Hongyu and the others were conducting routine inspections before trade at the Chengdong Post Station.

"He Bin."

At this time, a galloping horse came from the southeast. When everyone saw that it was He Bin, Luo Lin's scout, they all showed doubts.

Didn't Luo Lin and the others go to attack Yingchoujian with Jiang Tian? Why did He Bin rush back suddenly? Did something urgent happen?
"Commander Chu!"

He Bin came to the station, got off his horse, saluted Chu Hongyu and said, "Your subordinate has an important military report."

"follow me."

Chu Hongyu brought He Bin to the station, and asked a little nervously, "What happened..."

"Is it because the war in Yingchoujian is tight, and the general asked us to go to support it?"

"No, Commander Chu, you misunderstood! It's like this..."

Seeing that Chu Hongyu had misunderstood, He Bin quickly explained Jiang Tian's arrangement, and then handed a letter to Chu Hongyu.

"I see!"

After reading the letter, Chu Hongyu's face was obviously excited, and the two walked out of the station together.

After that, everything went on as usual, and under the escort of the trade escort, the caravan slowly drove towards Ximan City.

After many times of trade, the merchants have earned considerable profits, and now the number of caravans has become very popular, and the size of the caravan has expanded by no less than ten times compared to the first time.

Cars and horses rattled, the caravan headed east all the way, less than three hundred miles away, it was already evening.

"Stop it all, camp here tonight."

Chu Hongyu glanced at the shuttle-like pass in the southeast, took out the letter from He Bin, checked it carefully, confirmed the location, and ordered the caravan to stop on a hill with a wide view.

"Camp here?"

When everyone heard this, they all murmured, they usually go to the town to spend the night, what if they encounter bandits in this barren mountain?
"Master Commander..."

The merchants murmured together in twos and threes for a long time, and then sent a representative to find Chu Hongyu.

Chu Hongyu asked, "Boss Liang, is there something wrong?"

Boss Liang is in the colored cotton business. He has tens of millions of taels of assets alone, and he can be regarded as a wealthy businessman.

He said cautiously: "Commander Chu, look at this barren mountain, it's scary..."

"Some bosses are greedy and want to go to Qingshan Town to drink some wine, see if you can..."

After hearing this, Chu Hongyu's face sank, and she said coldly, "You mean that you don't trust the commander's decision, right?"

"It's getting late now, if something goes wrong on the road, who of you can take the responsibility?"

"Don't dare, Commander Chu, you are serious. I will tell them right away, so that they can camp here for the night with peace of mind."

Boss Liang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that Chu Hongyu was angry, and hurriedly left Chu Hongyu's tent.

You know, as the leader of the escort, Chu Hongyu has the right to decide whether they will stay or stay in the caravan.

Although there is something wrong with the current handling of things, but the previous few times of trade, they have been calm and reliable, brave and good at fighting.

It is impossible for him to take the risk of offending Chu Hongyu and lose the opportunity to earn a huge amount of wealth because of some unwarranted guesses.

It was precisely because of this that, although everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to openly oppose Chu Hongyu, so the caravan camped on the hill for the night.

Because they were worried about sneak attacks by bandits, after some discussion, the merchants took out all the torches they had prepared and lit them up, illuminating the entire hill like daytime.

Everyone always felt uneasy, tossing and turning all night, unable to fall asleep.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, at midnight, a rumbling hoofbeat broke the tranquility of the wilderness and woke everyone up.

"Drop it!"

"Enemy attack, there is enemy attack, everyone gather immediately, hurry up!"

At this moment, a hurried horse whistle sounded from the direction of the barracks, and a banner chief loudly ordered all the soldiers to gather immediately.

"An enemy attack?"

Immediately afterwards, Chu Hongyu also rushed out of the military tent with a face of shock.

"Come out quickly, line up immediately, those who haven't come to assemble after thirty breaths, will be dealt with by military law!"

Chu Hongyu glanced at the direction of the sound of hoofbeats, her startled expression became more serious, and she urged loudly.

"Have the bandits come?"

"Hurry up, go outside and assemble!"

Many soldiers just woke up from their sleep and rushed out of the military tent in a hurry.

Before going to bed, Chu Hongyu and other officers did not tell them to keep vigilant at all, and there were people in charge of patrolling. Their spirits were inevitably a little slack, and they slept very deeply. Now they were suddenly woken up, and they were somewhat confused.

"Hey, this is a miserable situation. I managed to make a few fortunes. This time, I have to pay them all. I don't know if I can save my life!"

Seeing the flustered appearance of the guards, the merchants were all crying in their hearts, thinking that this time they were going to die.
