Chapter 442: Strive to complete the KPI (22) [Please give me a monthly ticket]
“There are no tribes nearby.”
Gu Chi doesn''t need to recall the map of the northern border defense, but also remembers the nearby terrain. This road was specially selected by them. You should know that the Shiwu tribe has conditions for resettlement. There must be abundant water sources, abundant resources for cattle, sheep and horses to eat, and a certain natural barrier to resist wild animals or warning the enemy. This place nearby is not, it is quite barren and remote.
Not to mention prey, it is not easy to find water sources.
The Shiwu Tribe has a small possibility of taking root here, and at the same time, it can also reduce the possibility of its own marching being discovered.
Jiang Sheng guessed: "Is it a refugee?"
Food is a shortage of resources, with more monks and less porridge. Just like the mainland commoners who lost their houses and land and became refugees, the bottom of Shiwu lost their pastures that they depended on for their livelihood will also be expelled and become refugees. The former is prone to falling into a bandit, while the latter is the same.
Gu Chi said: "It''s probably true."
Chen Tang: "Let''s explore again, report again."
After the soldiers left, Chen Tang asked the two: "Can we bypass this valley and walk along the road next to us?"
Jiang Sheng: "It''s not that bad, but once you take a detour, you will inevitably pass through a large tribe''s pastoral territory, which is very easy to be discovered. Even if you don''t make any mistakes, it will take a day and a half more than the valley road."
No matter what perspective it is, marching according to the established plan is the best unless there is an ambush in the valley. With its terrain, the other party may have discovered their traces long ago.
Gu Chi asked: "The lord is worried about those people in the valley?"
Chen Tang nodded, his young face seemed a little unbearable. She said, "If you borrow from the valley, you will be unable to keep these people hiding in the valley. We are targeting the tribes of Shiwu, and we are facing a group of homeless refugees..."
Although he destroyed three tribes in succession and had more than ten thousand lives on his hands, Chen Tang did not feel that he could deprive anyone of his life without principles. There are still some differences between refugees and enemies. Gu Chi understood the subtle entanglement in her heart.
He smiled and said, "Maybe it''s not a refugee, but an ambush."
Chen Tang: “…”
Gu Wangchao, can you still have some principles?
Gu Chi is innocent. As a subordinate, can he be called "changing with the wind" according to the lord''s thoughts?
Chen Tang turned his face and said, "...Let''s find out first."
The big man is cute at her and is eye-catching.
Not long after, the scout''s detective falcon flew back and brought back a sneaky spy, who was **** and taken to Chen Tang by the way. Before he got close, he said in a relatively crappy general-purpose language: "Don''t tie me up, I''m a good citizen..."
"Be honest, otherwise you will be killed."
Xu Quan kicked him back without hesitation.
The man bent his knees and fell heavily to the ground.
The bang sounded softly, and the knees hurt slightly.
Gu Chi heard this person muttering in his heart: [This woman is so pretty and she is so vicious. 】
During this period, there was also a mixture of evaluations of Xu Quan''s figure.
Gu Chi: “…”
Hehehe, fortunately I didn’t say this, otherwise Xu Quan’s temperament would have twisted this person’s head with his bare hands.
Xu Quan sneered: "I sneaked around my military camp and looked around. Why are you a good citizen?"
The man shrank his neck.
Ring his eyes and observing the surroundings.
Chen Tang said, "Looking at the Chao, I''m sorry."
Gu Chi bowed and said, "Vei."
The person who was arrested was puzzled and looked at Gu Chi stepping forward, then he lost consciousness, but the next moment he woke up again and saw Gu Chi turning back to his original position. I think he has traveled around the country for many years, has a lot of knowledge, and has vaguely guessed something.
This young man with kidney deficiency and body hollowed out in his face must be a literary scholar...
I was just interrogated.
Thinking of this, he felt that Gu Chi''s eyes fell on him were like two cold arrows, and his spine could not stop the cold.
Gu Chi whispered to Chen Tang for a long time.
The guy who was caught was really not a big fish, but a **** who released the refugees in the valley to inquire about the news.??????Our job is a businessman who specializes in smuggling and reselling. He heard that although this job is risky, it also gains a lot.
For the sake of the family, I took risks.
I just started doing this business and fell a lot and stumbling. I only saved my life after a few times.
After that, I did more business and established friendships with several tribes of all sizes. In addition, I was willing to use money to maintain my feelings, so the business became bigger and bigger, and I accumulated a rich fortune, and I was a local rich man.
But when you walk by the river often, how can you not wear your shoes?
More than half a year ago, he took advantage of the chaos in the country of Geng and purchased a large number of goods from illegal salt merchants and prepared to smuggle them to Shiwu. When I came, I had boxes of salt, and when I left, I also had boxes of gold, silver ore, and then I felt extremely happy and sad.
He was robbed by refugees in Shiwu.
Trapped in the valley for more than a month.
Being discriminated against and beaten every day.
He was assigned the dirtiest and tiring work.
Today, the valley sentry tower found Chen Tang''s trace. It was impossible to tell whether it was another refugee or the elite who came to wipe out their troops, so he sent out a few unlucky people, including the arrested merchant. Originally, he was heavier than his height. After suffering for so long, he was thinner for several times, and his chin became a pitiful double layer. He was unkempt and embarrassed.
Chen Tang asked: "Are you smuggling and selling salt?"
The salt vendor knew very well that he was just an ordinary person and was targeted by the literary scholar. Not to mention the little secrets of his identity and background, I am afraid he knew exactly what color he liked to wear.
Once you lie, the consequences may be that the person will fall.
He had to nodded honestly: "I walked the road from Longwu County and Shiwuxijie... but I just sold salt honestly, and I absolutely didn''t buy or sell armor and weapons, and I, nor did I dare."
Smuggling salt is a felony, but it is lighter than buying and selling armor.
"Why is the Shiwuxi Realm?"
The salt vendor said: "The western border is remote, the road is difficult to walk, and there are more dangers. A box of salt can quadruple there."
You can earn a lot more by taking a trip.
Chen Tang asked again: "How much do you know about the valley?"
Salt vendors dare not add fuel to the fire.
As speculated at the beginning, the more than a thousand people in the valley were refugees, and they had a mortal hatred with all major tribes. Coupled with the blockade of nearby tribes, their lives became increasingly poor, and several weak people starved to death every now and then.
There are at most a hundred young and powerful people who can form combat power.
"The refugees of a thousand people are only over a hundred young and strong?"
Chen Tang questioned this ratio.
The salt vendor sighed: "That''s all I can eat."
There is nothing left to eat, so I can only eat a little bit like the elderly, weak, women and children, and maintain a state of starvation.
As the bottom-level prisoner, the salt vendor was even worse.
Every day, I only have a few mouthfuls of bad food that is so bad that I can’t tell the original color, and a little turbid water. The ability to survive until now depends entirely on the fat meat that was hoarded on your body before. In another month or two, I will either be skinny and skeletonized or be 45 years old.
Now arrested...
There may only be a few incense sticks left for life.
Who knows—
"You said that these people in the valley hate other tribes very much?" The boy Li, who was sitting in the head, pondered for a while, his eyes were sophisticated but not as good as those of this age: "How hateful are there? Is there any hatred to destroy his whole family and willing to be driven to work hard?"
