Chapter 254: Thief and Wife
Chapter 255
The royal city of the Rong people is located in the hinterland of the grassland, built by the lake, and the lake is the holy lake of the Rong people, called the daughter lake. It takes about 800 miles to go out of the sunset to the daughter lake, and there is a boundless grassland in the middle.
Guan Kele is a merchant who runs this road, and the ironware, tea, and silk of the empire are sought-after goods in the Rong people, and the fur and fur leather of the Rong people can also be sold at a good price in the empire. It's just that the empire is not allowed to do business with the Rong people, and Guan Kele's behavior is smuggling.
Guan Kele was just a small businessman, and the entire caravan was only a dozen people.
"Hurry up, everyone, find a place to rest in the dark, mother-in-law, no matter how lazy you are, let the horse thief kill you." ”
Guan Kele scolded loudly, he drove the car, looked back, and saw two people coming up the road.
The man is holding the donkey, the woman is riding on the back of the donkey, the woman is really handsome, people want to see it but don't dare to look at it, and then look at the man's appearance, how to say it, I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother, where are you going, let's go together?"
You may not see a person on the grassland for a few days, as long as you meet on the road, and the other party is not a horse thief, then you don't mind walking together, if one party lacks rations, it is not too much of a problem to eat and drink.
The man smiled and said, "No, it's not very convenient." ”
"What's inconvenient, there are horse thieves on this road, you two, aren't you afraid of bumping into horse thieves? ”
Cheng Dalei said it was not that it was inconvenient, but that it was not very safe. Hearing this, he paused and said, "Aren't you afraid of encountering horse thieves?"
"Hey, dude, I have a knife. Guan Kele is obviously a self-acquaintance, and he immediately called Cheng Dalei a brother, he said: "Don't hide it from my brother, brother, I have practiced knives for five years, and ordinary horse thieves don't pay attention to them at all." ”
Cheng Dalei looked at him and nodded subconsciously: "It's good, it's good." ”
"Brother, let's go together, you don't look like a bad person. ”
Guan Kele was talking, when he suddenly saw that the man had jumped on the donkey, and the woman rode a donkey, and left far away.
"Well, I don't want to make friends. Guan Kele said: "However, this donkey is really fast, and ordinary horses can't catch up." ”
He beckoned his men to continue on his journey, in fact, to do this kind of business, he was to repay the money with his life, and if he really ran into a horse thief, his life would be buried in the grassland. So what everyone is most afraid of encountering along the way is the horse thief.
Continue to walk forward, and after about an hour, I saw a group of people and horses on the grassland rushing forward.
"Owner, horse thief, horse thief!" said one of the fellows.
Guan Kele also saw it, but found that these horse thieves did not take care of themselves, and ran over.
"Boss, didn't they see us? ”
"It shouldn't be. "Guan Kele can't be sure.
"If you see it, how can you let us go?"
"Could it not be that it came at us? ”
"Where...... Who are you coming for?"
With a lot of ups and downs in his heart, Guan Kele didn't dare to move forward anymore, and stayed in place for an hour before he mustered up the courage to go on the road.
The heart was still pounding along the way, and by this time the sky had already darkened, and half of the head was still exposed in the red sun without heat in the west.
The sun was about to set, and this scene seemed to symbolize something, which made Guan Kele's heart even more frightened.
As he was walking, he was suddenly stunned, because there was a smell of blood in the air. Subconsciously raised his head and looked forward, and the scene in front of him scared Guan Kele's soul out.
I saw a corpse on the green grass, no more, no less, thirteen, it was the horse thief who had just passed.
They died, all at the same time, with consternation on their faces, as if they didn't believe they had been killed before they died.
What's even more terrifying is that not far from the corpse, a man and a woman are sitting and eating, and a donkey is grazing leisurely around.
It was a man and a woman who had met not long ago. The woman was still very handsome, and the man had a rough face, focusing on chewing the jerky in his hands, and looked very calm.
It's a little scary.
At this time, the man saw Guan Kele, stretched out his hand to say hello here, and walked over.
Guan Kele was frightened and retreated, the man went further, he took a step back, and the man went further, he retreated even more.
Suddenly, he fell under his feet, sat down on the ground, and raised his head The man was already in front of him.
"What do you want to do, I have a knife, I have practiced knife techniques for five years, I am very powerful. ”
Guan Kele almost cried, and hurriedly went to pull out the knife, but the knife on his waist didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't pull it out at the moment.
"Hey, do you have any clothes?" the man asked.
"...... clothes?
"What men wear, and what women wear. The man spread his arms, and Guan Kele saw that he was covered in blood: "I can't wear it." ”
A horse thief who robbed clothes, but he didn't ride a horse, it was a donkey thief. A horse thief wants money, and a donkey thief only needs clothes?
"Yes, yes. ”
Guan Kele really has it, this time he went to the Rong people to do business, and he really brought some clothes and boots in the car, both men and women wore them.
"Great, great. ”
The man looked excited and waved at the woman: "Come here, come here." ”
The two began to rummage through the car, and their boots and clothes were turned out.
"Ah, I need a robe here, not bad. "Woman.
"It's quite a whole thing. The man couldn't help but praise: "There is also a carriage, this carriage is not bad, I want it." ”
"Come, bring your goods down, and load me with everything I fancy in the car. ”
The man said loudly, the guys didn't dare not listen, and Guan Kele didn't dare not listen, so he could only grit his teeth and curse in his heart: Rob, rob, you two thieves and thieves, you deserve to be a thief, you will be a thief for the rest of your life.
"Hey, thank you so much. The man didn't know when he came to Guan Kele.
Guan Kele snorted coldly in his heart, but said: "Take whatever you like, take it!"
"That's pretty much enough, you see if that's enough. As he spoke, the man took out a night pearl from his arms and stuffed it into Guan Kele's hand.
Guan Kele has the ability to distinguish treasures, and his eyes immediately lit up when he saw this night pearl. With this night pearl, I can rest at home for two or three years.
"That's enough, this road hasn't been smooth lately, be careful. ”
So saying, the man hung the donkey on the cart, and he got into the cart with the woman, and with a wave of his whip went north.
At this time, Guan Kele had not come back to his senses, looked at the two who left, and then looked at the night pearl in his hand.
It turned out that it was not a robbery, but a purchase. Hey, I knew I should have sold more things, and I could have exchanged for one more night pearl.
"Boss, let's pack up the goods. ”
"No, no. Guan Kele waved his hand: "Go back, hurry back." ”
These goods are indeed in demand in the Rong clan, but they are not worth much money in the empire. Now that I have this pearl of the night, after I go back, I won't come back when I die.
