Chapter 5

I said, "Today we will continue to arrest those water thieves who disrupt social order and endanger the township. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The girls cheered.

The old G pirates drove towards the You River.

In a clearing by the You River, I pulled myself up and began to train the girls. We found dozens of crossbows from the Greycloak camp, just to teach them the basics.

Twenty paces away, ten wooden poles were planted, and each pole carried a gourd at the top.

I said, "Girls, you are all refugees from the war, either you have lost your family or your land. If you want to survive in this troubled world, you have to have some means of self-defense, and the crossbow is a very good thing, you only need a little practice to produce enough combat power to protect yourself. So, now I'm going to teach you how to play the crossbow...... Hey, hey, hey, the pigtailed guy is talking about you, listen carefully!"

Then I showed me the basic steps.

"Here are the main points of shooting, keep your hands steady and hold the crossbow. Hold your breath and concentrate, look at the mountain, the arrow, and the target in a straight line, then pull the trigger, and look!" I said, and an arrow hit the gourd to the left of the target.

"Well, yes, that's what we're targeting. I said.

Xiaohua raised her hand: "My lord, I didn't understand, can you say it again?"

Xiaohong raised her hand: "My lord, where is the trigger?"

Xiao Yue raised her hand: "My lord, why do you want to form a straight line?"

Jamila raised her hand: "My lord, can you get out of class, it's time to eat." ”

Then they flocked to pick wild vegetables and fish, and threw their crossbows all over the place.

Willy had a bitter face: "Captain, send them back, otherwise we won't even be able to deal with the water thieves......"

After lunch, I explained it again, and four or five of the girls actually got up to speed quickly, or at least could load crossbows.

I said, "My careful teaching has some effect." ”

Xiaohua said, "My lord, when are we going back to Zenda, I'm so tired." ”

Xiaohong said: "That's it, we've all been out all day." ”

Xiao Yue said: "Yes, yes, I also asked Xiao Yi to go shopping with me at night." ”

I feel like I'm getting shorter.

When I returned to Chanda in the evening, I went to the Count again, and at last he promised to help settle the poor girls.

The earl said: "We Chanda, Baihuayuan is a good place, every year is a big taxpayer, advanced enterprises, the proprietress is young and promising, hard-working, is a heroine among women, women do not let the eyebrows." As soon as I told her about the employment of these girls, she immediately patted her chest and took it down, which is the sense of social responsibility and ownership that an entrepreneur should have......

I nodded yes.

In the evening, the old G pirates are downsized, and in addition to Mama Cha, Manid, Willy, and his three companions, there are only Jamila and four homeless girls who have learned to use crossbows. There were twelve people in total.

In Sooke's tavern, I gave the girls a tactical lesson, and the content was very simple: when the seven of us men were riding and killing, the girls should hide behind their backs, and if they had the chance, they would use crossbows to support, but not shoot their own people.

As for how much they listened, only God knows.

The next day, we shifted our field and tried our luck in the direction of Rebach in the east.

The banks of the You River have been largely cleaned. Under the strong law enforcement efforts of the Chanda Law Enforcement Team, the real and fake water thief strongholds along the You River have been plowed like locusts crossing the border. Hearing that the area around the tributaries of the Polak River near Zhivadin is also driving out the water thieves, presumably the miserable people will be driven like cattle to the central plain.

Then it's cheap for me.

As I thought so, there was a noise of people behind a small hill in front of me. Mama Tea immediately cheered up and touched it to check.

After a while, he came back: "Boss, there is a caravan of more than a dozen people in front, surrounded by more than thirty bandits. ”

There is a rule in our mercenary shop, if you encounter such a thing as a bandit robbing a caravan, if you can do it, you must help the caravan as soon as possible. This is a rule that has been handed down hundreds of years ago, just like the knights call chivalry. It's just that hundreds of years have passed, and most of the knights' chivalry has been used to pad the table legs, and I don't remember much, on the contrary, the mercenaries who have been wandering around have always adhered to their iron rules.

With a wave of my hand, the line tightened, with three of Willy's men leading the way, five girls in the middle, and me and Mama Cha and Manid.

In other words, I love to do the work behind the palace.

As soon as the horn blew, we climbed over the hill and rushed down.

Below was a small plain, and in the distance was a sparse wood, and a caravan was surrounded in the middle, and a dozen dart masters were hung up. They formed a circle of mule carts and hid inside for defense. Thirty or so thieves rode around the circle.

There were also seven or eight bandits in the woods who had lost their horses, shooting arrows from afar.

I saw the five girls in the middle clinging to the horse's neck, as if they were about to fall in the bum. I can't help but sigh in my heart, what are the old men doing when they fight?

But now is not the time to lament, I have to urge a horsepower, and Mama Tea and Manid go one step further to protect the girls' wings.

The bandits reacted at this time, and sent fifteen horses to rush towards this side.

Willie should have also been in the army, and when he saw the opponent's horse team coming, he subconsciously propped up the fan shield in his left hand, accelerated his crotch off the horse, and lowered the horse flat. Standard heavy riding sprint move.

I secretly sighed, this guy has been riding for at least three years.

The scimitar-wielding bandit who rushed to the front was poked to the ground by men and horses, and our team did not stop, trampling over his body. The bandits behind were shocked by this bloody scene, and their horses couldn't help but slow down.

"Good chance!" I yelled, and the team's speed increased further. Like a sharp dagger, it plunged into the opposite bandit team from the middle.

The two mercenaries behind Willy, as soon as the fan-shaped shield in their hands opened, two javelins shot out, and in the sound of "woo", two more thieves fell off their horses.

Willy had already rushed to the back half of the opposing horse team, picked up the spear in his right hand, picked down another one, and turned sideways, dodging a scimitar that slashed vertically.

The partner with the mace directly behind Willy, the moment he grabbed the electric flint, he struck it with a hammer, and the thief who had been let by Willy did not have time to put away his knife, and fell off his horse in a bloody light.

Kill five of them in one shot.

Willy's vanguard had already rushed past the bandits, and before the hasty horse thieves could react, they made contact with the three of our royal highnesses.

I flipped up my scimitar and slashed at one of the unsuspecting ones on my right, which turned to the right and plunged into the ribs of another bandit.

With a flick of his left hand, two throwing knives shot out, knocking off another rider who had gone by on the wrong horse.

Mama Tea directly threw the axe out and knocked one down.

Fifteen horse thieves, nine of whom were killed in an instant.

Mama Tea howled excitedly like a wolf.

The pressure is greatly reduced for a while. The caravan burst into cheers when it saw one of our teams approaching like a murderous god. In a few moments, a circle of mules and carts opened a hole, and seven or eight heavily armed caravan guards rushed out.

Confluence. We have outnumbered the bandits.

The bearded bandit roared in pain: "The wind is tight, bracket!" beckoned, including the bandits who had lost their horses in the woods.

The young merchant roared excitedly: "Kill them, kill them all, chase them all!"

As soon as the guards pulled the reins, they were about to catch up. I grabbed the horse's belly and stopped in front of them. "Be forgiving and forgiving. The rules of our mercenaries are not a last resort, don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leave people a way out, don't force it too hard. In this world, it is not easy for everyone. ”

At that moment, I felt my brilliance skyrocket.

The young merchant grinned unwillingly, dismounted and saluted: "The strong men have worked hard, despicable Sakya, if it were not for the help of the strong men this time, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

I arched my hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, when the road is uneven, drawing a sword to help is an iron rule in our mercenary shop." ”

Sakya smiled and said, "No matter what, the help of the strong men, I, Sakya, will never forget. In front of me is Rebach, and I have a share of my family's property, so why don't you go and sit down and drink two bowls of water and wine?"

I wanted to shirk it with a little grace, but Mama Cha, an unprincipled fellow, immediately agreed, and even the horse under his crotch began to gouge its hooves.

So we turned around and went to Rebach. I glanced at it inadvertently, and Manid seemed to have something on his mind.

Rebach is a small village in the central plains, I visited it two years ago, and it was still very desolate, with few men in the village and a lot of barren fields. This time, Rybach has changed a lot. The fields are full of green wheat seedlings, and more or less bacon hangs under the eaves of every house.

Sakya proudly pointed to the village in front of him and said, "This is all our family's property. ”

He also pointed to a small church on the hill in the distance: "Including that church, which was also built by our family." ”

Sakya set up a banquet at the village elder's house and comforted us. I saw that the table was full of rare delicacies, such as Bavarian sausages, German pork knuckles, honey pies, and 20-year-old Nord honey.

Sakya drank high at the table and sang with his guard captain in his arms.

I saw Manid eating very little. I said, "What's wrong, you're not feeling good?"

Manid said sullenly: "I remembered some of the past, I was so rich back then......"

I know he's going to mention the Chengguan Enforcement Team of Riwacheze again, and they're ruining his future.

Willie directly picked up the German pig knuckle on the table and nibbled on it. Manid excused himself to drink too much and went out for a walk.

I said, "Mr. Sakya, where are you going, I see that your team is a little small, and it may be more dangerous if you encounter something like this again." "I started to solicit business for myself, and no one stipulated that I couldn't do private work after joining the Chanda Law Enforcement Team.

Sakya understood at once, and he laughed: "We are on a trip to the Far Merchant this time, and we plan to sell Kugit's furs, pig iron, and oil to Wocheze, strong man, you know, those simple-minded Nords are very keen on these specialties of Kugit." We originally had more than 20 guards, who knew that the road was not smooth, there were only a dozen of them left on the way from Dehrim, although the nest car was in front of us, but I heard that there have been a lot of pirates recently, and I had to have a snack. Now, if you don't bother with it, why don't you escort us to the car, the dinar will be indispensable to you!"

I was excited, I didn't expect it to go so well. I've done similar things before, but the other party often just sends dozens of dinars to forget it, after all, people don't dare to believe it when they meet.

This Sakya is either an idiot or a character.

At the moment, the matter of remuneration was discussed, and the wine and food were full.

When he came out, he found Manid still looking up at the stars at a forty-five degree angle.

I said, "What's the matter, you're still crying in the wind and hurting the moon?"

Manid said coldly: "Shut up, do you think I'm a fan of Siniang?"

And he said, "I think this sakya is a little weird." ”

I said, "You are obviously jealous, seeing that other people's business empires are thriving, you just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour." ”

Manid didn't speak, and I poked him in the spot.

I continued: "Actually, I think you should also practice your skills, after all, you follow me to eat with your fists, and I spend money to support you, not a down-and-out businessman." Like this Mama tea is very good, you have to learn more. Have you ever seen a man who wields an abacus when two horses hedge against each other on the battlefield? You see that Jamila's skills are about to catch up with you, you have to come on. ”

Manid continued to speak.

I thought that was enough, so I went to the camp with the group to rest.

Early the next morning, we assembled, joined Sakya's guards, and hurried towards the wok.

I know Sakya is taking care of my business, and it will only take a day at most to walk from here to Wocheze, and it will be safe. Sakya gave us a commission of five hundred dinars and gave each of the five girls a beautiful openwork hairpin.

We followed the caravan of the Sakya, sheltered from the wind and rain without risk.

At noon we arrived at the border between Vicchia and Nord, and a guard at the exit station waved us down.

"What for?" he asked.

Sakya smiled and said, "We are merchants, I am Sakya, the eldest son of the Glasco family, and we are also from the family of Vecchia." ”

Sakya said, shoving a bulging purse into the guard.

The guard immediately laughed, waved his hand and was about to let him go. A voice suddenly came out from behind: "Wait. ”

The guard nodded and stepped aside.

A guy in a noble robe walked up to the front and glared at Sakya: "What is the Glasco family, I won't give you this face." ”

Manid immediately leaned into my ear and said, "This is from the Umuen family, the prosecutor of the border of Vekia. They are rivals of the Umoon and Glasco. ”

The prosecutor slowly walked to the mule cart, and casually lifted the mask to take a look: "Tulga's oil, Halma's iron, Lana's fur, you are transporting it to the nest cart, I don't know that our Vekia is at war with Nord, you are the enemy!"

Sakya's face turned pale, and he said, "What do you want?"

The prosecutor smiled coldly and said angrily: "Fine." ”

Sakya said, "How many will you let us go?"

The prosecutor said: "10,000 invoices are issued, and 5,000 are not invoiced." ”

Sakya gritted his teeth: "Give you five thousand!" and then threw down two large pockets.

The prosecutor flicked his foot and waved his hand in satisfaction to let him go.

Sakya stared at him fiercely.

After walking for another ten minutes, I came to the border checkpoint in Nord.

A guy with a giant axe stopped Sakya: "What for?"

Sakya said, "We are merchants. ”

The guy lifted the cloth and looked at it: "It's all good guys...... and then his face turned pale: "What are you doing with so many good guys?"

Sakya was stupid.

The guy said, "Don't think I don't know what you Wikibians have!"

Sakya said, "What heart?"

The guy said, "You think I don't know that I don't know about bringing so many urgently needed items here just to disrupt our Nord market?"

Sakya said, "What then?"

The guy blushed and said, "Fine." ”

Sakya said, "How much is the fine?"

The guy said, "The invoice is 12,000, and the invoice is 6,000." (To be continued.) )
