Chapter 562: Vupalaguan
"Such a bizarre thing?" Weeks and Rose listened to Mizter, Diego, and the advance team, and they both repeated the phrase almost incessantly. They thought it was very weird, and if it weren't for everyone's descriptions corroborating each other, and bringing back a pair of beautiful boots, the two would never believe that such a strange thing could happen.
"It's sensational!" "Even when I saw it with my own eyes, I still found it unbelievable!" Patriarch Rus, isn't there some legend circulating in your clan? If this is the mausoleum you are guarding, then who is the identity of the owner of the tomb guarded, it is not recorded, but there will always be some rumors, right? If you knew that the owner of the tomb who had been holding on for hundreds or thousands of years was such a ferocious darkness, would you be sure that you would still strengthen your faith? ”
"I don't know!" Rose said, "These have always been the top secrets of the clan, it is impossible to rumor in the clan, the unexpected death of a patriarch three hundred years ago made this top secret unknown, and the clan has been living comfortably like this for hundreds of years!" As you said, the loss of the top secret passed down orally three hundred years ago actually means that my people have completed the task of guarding the tomb! Mistress Mizter, what the hell are you investigating? ”
"Hehehe, it's me who is too talkative, and I shouldn't ask the patriarch these sensitive questions!" Mizter laughed, "We're not investigating anything, it's our responsibility to let the light shine in the world and stop everything that harms people in this world!" But this time, we did spend a bit of a big price, especially your people, together with the last encounter with the skeleton corps, lost one hundred and seventy or eighty people, which makes me feel uneasy! ”
"You didn't bring this filthy stuff!" Rose said, "Could it be that our people have done something wrong, the great mausoleum they are guarding is actually a harmful thing, if these evil spirits are allowed to continue to exist and develop, it is hard to imagine what kind of disasters will be caused to our people, and even how many disasters will be brought to the world, we almost made a big mistake!" ”
"What was promised to us before?" Mizter asked.
"What do you want these supplies for, I don't ask!" "But I want you not to cause trouble for our people, and I want you to promise not to expose our camp to anyone!" ”
Mittz said, "Rest assured, no one will be interested in this kind of deep mountain and wild forest!" We will not divulge any secrets about your people! ”
……
After resting for a few days outside the cliffs of the camp, and all the wounded were basically healed, Wicks' advance party, dressed as natives, led by Diego, carried a hundred oxen to Vupala Pass for exchange, left the Rus camp and marched towards Vupala Pass.
There was a delay of more than twenty days, and according to the original plan, they should have to reach the vicinity of Vupalaguan in ten days to plan the movement of the army. The battle at Dongning Pass will start in more than 10 days.
But the plan had changed, and Arad sent Mapote to deliver a preemptive strike, speeding up the Fifth Army's military operations.
Three days later, the group arrived at Vupalaguan Pass.
Sure enough, it is a male pass, the mountains on both sides are steep, the birds are hard to find, the mountains are full of vines with thorns, not to mention the army, even if the advance team members do not pass the checkpoint, but climb over these lofty mountains and mountains into the Guanzhong Plain, it is also dangerous, the Wupala Pass is really a man and a man, and the danger is no less than the Kuba Fortress.
There is no abnormal situation in Wupara Pass for the time being, there are not many people guarding the pass, only 2,000 people, and because the commander of the pass eats a vacancy, the actual number of people is only 1,56. Although the Wupara Pass is dangerous, it is not the first barrier to enter the Guanzhong Plain, there is also the Dongning Pass to the east of him, only if the Dongning Pass is lost, the Wupara Pass will work, therefore, the commanders and soldiers who live in the Wupara Pass are a rabble of some soldiers and ruffians.
The person who exchanged supplies with Diego was Holz, the adjutant of Vupalaguan, who was a man with a smiling face at all times. Diego and his entourage were not able to enter the Vupala Pass, but were at the gate outside the pass to exchange materials on the spot.
"My lord, why are there so few supplies this time?" Diego asked dissatisfied, "We brought everything you needed according to the adult's list, but the adult only gave us half of the supplies on the list!" ”
"Diego, don't you know the current world situation?" Holtz smiled, "Now there are wars everywhere, all the supplies are in short supply, and even the supplies we have obtained at the Vupala Pass are much less than before, and it is already very good that I can help you get this!" Don't worry, record it in the account first, and next time you exchange it, I'll make it up to you together, okay? ”
"Hey, bookkeeping?" Diego smiled, "My lord, I'm afraid the bills of the adults in our clan are almost sacks, right, and the memories of adults have always been very worrying?" ”
"A sack? Have it? Still smiling, Holtz replied, "I seem to have written off your bills every time, didn't you destroy those bills on time?" ”
"Hahaha, I originally thought that if the adults were sincere this time, they would like to take some good things and make some private transactions with the adults, but unfortunately the adults really disappointed us!" Diego smiled, "It seems that next time, we are going to consider going to Dongning Pass or other places to exchange things!" ”
"Good stuff?" Holtz smiled and asked, "What other good things can you have?" It's the same every time, you are willing to go to other places to exchange, and I don't have any opinions, as long as you don't dislike the long way! ”
Diego asked Mizter to bring an antique box, took out a beautiful jade cup for himself, and then handed it to Holtz, and said with a smile: "Recently, a flash flood broke out and washed away a tomb, we unintentionally got more than a dozen boxes of such things, I don't know the goods, please help me taste it!" ”
Holtz's smile suddenly froze, not looking at the cup handed over by Diego, just looking at the quaint and exquisite box opened by Mizt, you can conclude that this box has been sealed in the dust for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and it is a valuable antique in itself, not to mention the contents inside.
Holz continued to smile again, carefully examining the jade cup in his hand, the workmanship was exquisite, crystal clear, without any variegation, even he couldn't tell what jade was made of, and the style of the jade cup was definitely an ancient thing, and Holz was secretly frightened, but he didn't show his face.
"Hahaha!" Holtz smiled, "It's just a jade cup, I've seen a lot, and it's nothing remarkable, I thought it was a good thing?" How about I'll give you two more truckloads of supplies in exchange for this box of supplies? ”
Diego snatched the jade cup from Holtz's hand and said with a smile: "Although I don't know the goods, I never believe that this box of things is only worth two truckloads of supplies!" Since the adults are not interested, it doesn't matter, buying and selling is not benevolent, I just look for the next one! ”
"These things are waste in your hands, and without my permission, you can't get out of the Wupara Pass!" Holtz smiled and said, "It's still really something to change!" ”
"My lord, although our people don't like gold, they won't be stupid enough to use gold as scrap metal to exchange with others!" Diego said, "Hehe, in exchange for two truckloads of goods, it is better to take them back and use them as toys for the children!" ”
"Hehe, Diego, I underestimated you!" Holtz smiled, "Okay, you say, what do you want to exchange?" ”
"I said it, I'm afraid adults can't afford it!" Diego said, "I'll exchange a box of things for ten times the supplies here, and if the adults make a counteroffer, I'll leave immediately!" ”
"Ten times?" Holtz's smile froze, he thought quickly, and then said, "Diego, do you really have a dozen boxes?" Where is it? ”
"Of course I have!" Diego said, "Hehe, my lord, you treat me as a fool, take all the dozen or so boxes to Wupara and lock them up, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my life here, right?" ”
"Ten times the amount of supplies, the amount is too big, Wupara Pass can't get together so much at one time!" Holtz didn't bargain either, saying, "Can you pledge some of the gold coins?" ”
"Can't!" "I hold the gold coins as much as I hold the contents of these chests, and they are of no use, nothing more than cloth, porcelain, or iron!" Since the adults have difficulties, then act as if nothing has happened, and hope that the adults will keep it secret for me, this is my personal transaction with the adults, and it has nothing to do with the clan! ”
After Diego finished speaking, the people began to load the supplies on the back of the cow, along with the box, and also loaded it.
"Wait a minute!" Holz hurriedly said, "I agree to trade the contents of this box first, however, I need a few days to allocate materials, and besides, I can't completely make the decision on such a big matter, and I still need to discuss it with the Commander!" ”
"How many days?" Diego smiled, "Then after the adults have collected the supplies, I'll work hard again!" ”
"Why bother?" Holtz smiled and said, "Diego, just wait here for a few days, I will definitely send you supplies!" ”
Diego smiled: "What are you kidding, the mountains here are high and dense, there are large beasts everywhere, one more day outside, it will be dangerous for one day, we don't want to sleep here, wait for the adults to slowly collect the supplies, I will come again, it will be the same!" ”
"That's good!" Holtz thought for a moment and said, "I'll discuss with the Commander, you will stay in Wupara for a few days temporarily, and I will definitely arrange for you to collect supplies soon, and by the way, I will negotiate with the Commander about the exchange of another dozen boxes of supplies, how about it?" ”
"Shall we enter the fortress?" Diego was stunned, "No, no, outsiders entering the Wupala Pass are going to be killed, I'm not stupid!" Do adults want to use such means to eat everyone and goods? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Holtz said angrily, "If I want to eat everyone and goods, and I can trick you into entering the customs, I can't kill you here?" You're the one who gave me such a big problem, you have to give me time to digest it, right? If you enter the customs and kill the head or not, isn't it the commander's decision? ”
Diego looked quite embarrassed, thought for a long time, and then looked up and said: "My lord, I need to discuss it with my people, and my lord also needs to communicate with the commander, and after an hour, everyone will meet again to decide whether to enter the customs or not, how about it?" ”
"Good!" Holtz then laughed, "However, I need to borrow your jade cup to convince the Commander!" ”
