The salt seller was confused at first.
He looked into Shen Tang's eyes for a moment, and the shopping mall veteran immediately understood what he meant. He hesitated for a moment because he was not sure about the identities of Shen Tang and others. Once this kind of question is answered incorrectly, this old life will end prematurely.
Shen Tang saw his difficulty with sharp eyes.
He said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I will not punish you because of your answer. I will keep you safe."
The salt seller asked anxiously: "The accent of this gentleman doesn't sound like someone from Shiwu. Do you want to..."
Shen Tang smiled and said, "No need to ask more about this."
The salt seller immediately realized what was going on and chose to shut up.
After sifting the answer over and over again in his stomach, he cautiously said: "Hui Lang Master, based on the fact that Xiaomin has been doing business in Shiwu for so many years, most of them are shameless people and are the best at repetition. But they also have If you have a little advantage, you will be a mother if you have milk, and you will be attached to whoever gives you benefits. If you use it properly, it is a sharp weapon, so you need to use it with care."
Shen Tang looked a little more playful.
Xu Quan frowned and said, "If you have milk, you are a mother?"
Seeing that the beautiful woman had a somewhat unkind tone in her voice, the salt seller immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "If you have money, you will be your father!"
Xu Quan: "..."
Shen Tang burst out laughing.
I just feel that this salt dealer is worthy of being a profiteer who has been smuggling for many years and is extremely rich. He is really eloquent and has a good ability to figure out people's hearts. However, this person also agreed with his evaluation of Shiwu, so be careful when using it.
Xu Quan turned around and said angrily: "My lord, this person has a smooth tongue. He is not a good citizen at first glance."
The next sentence should be "dragged out and slaughtered."
The salt seller's face turned pale. He didn't expect that he was just playing a clever trick and got himself killed. He was so frightened that he kept kowtowing. While kowtowing loudly, he said: "Spare your life, generals, I mean no offense to the common people." …”
Seeing that he was about to leave a red mark on his forehead, Shen Tang stopped his self-mutilation and comforted him: "We are not murderous people. We do have an important matter to take care of during this trip. Once our identity is revealed, we will You have to kill people and silence them. I think you are an old businessman who has traveled all over the world. You should know when to be smart and when to pretend to be deaf and dumb."
The salt seller said quickly: "I know, I know, the common people know."
Shen Tang stated his purpose.
He said coldly: "The troops in the valley are really so unbearable, so I will send someone to go back with you to negotiate with the refugees. If this happens, you will be prosperous in the future. If not, you, along with more than a thousand people in the valley, will No one left alive!"
When Xu Quan heard this, he had a job.
Looking at Shen Tang eagerly: "Lord~~~"
Despite his feminine appearance, even if he didn't mean it, there was still a bit of coquettishness in his mouth. Coupled with his charming eyes, he looked like a naughty dog with its tail wagging like a propeller. Shen Tang, a pretty dog, couldn't resist it at all. Defeated steadily.
As everyone knows, as soon as this inner voice came out, Gu Chi's eyes were a little frightened, and he stopped talking for a long time.
He then looked at his lord, who was leaning against his forehead with a slight headache, and said: "That's all, I'll leave this matter to you. But to be on the safe side, you should order two hundred elites to go with you. Pay attention to safety, and call us if something goes wrong. Arrow warns."
Xu Quan blinked.
I didn't expect it to be so easy to grab.
Don't you leave a chance for Bai Su to practice?
He had doubts in his heart, but since he had obtained the military merit, he had no reason to push it out. So he ordered two hundred elite soldiers, got ready to go, and escorted the salt seller to the valley. Shen Tang was still worried and asked Jiang Sheng to go with him.
Gu Chi was silent.
With this configuration, not to mention attacking only a hundred or so so-called "elite" refugees, it could easily be defeated if the number was doubled.
It's true that a chicken was killed with a butcher's knife.
Xu Quan's ability to act is unquestionable, and he does what he says. Relying on his previous experience in suppressing bandits, he followed the same method and easily destroyed the simple sentry tower high in the valley and stormed in with force. It's just that this group of refugees has been here for a long time, and it's not like they haven't set any traps. However, they are vulnerable to the 200-number armored troops who charge in front of the elite troops led by Xu Quan.
Crispier than paper mache.
Jiang Sheng occasionally took care of the secret attack, and paddled for the rest. Within a quarter of an hour, he reached the family's lair and captured a group of young and strong men. The remaining ones were either old, weak, women and children, or young men with yellow faces and weak muscles.
Each of them held simple weapons in their hands.
To say it is a weapon is a bit exaggerated.
Just a pile of polished, relatively sharp stones.
Not even decent knives.
Xu Quan is riding majesticly on a war horse wearing full armor. His body was wrapped in thick armor. Although no lines could be seen, he could still tell that he was slimmer than other soldiers wearing armor, and looked like a woman's figure.
"Everyone is here?"
The difficulty level was too low, and Xu Quan found it uninteresting.
But don’t let your military exploits go to waste.
After a while, the soldiers caught a few guys who were trying to escape one after another and threw them on the ground: "Come back to the captain, everyone is here." Xu Quan did not reply, but squinted his eyes and fell on Se Se On the trembling salt seller.
The salt seller said, "They're all here."
Xu Quan waved his hand.
"Take away the leader among them, and keep the rest under guard, waiting for the death of the lord. Don't worry, you will be obedient, your lives will be safe, and you will still have a full stomach. It is no better than squatting in the valley eating grass and peeling tree bark. many?"
When I just broke in, I saw something with yellow juice simmering in a simple stone pot. At first glance, it looked like corn paste. After a closer look, I realized that it was bark ground into powder, boiled in a pot until soft and served as porridge.
This thing is not easy to digest but it is resistant to hunger.
It is a good choice for refugees who lack clothing and food in the cold winter. Xu Quan looked at it and sighed - it seems that refugees all over the world are in similar situations when they are forced into desperate situations. Eat tree bark, eat weeds, eat mud...
The only difference is that when Shiwu's refugees are cornered, they will kill and plunder the guy, and continue to rob when they don't have enough. However, the common people in the inland countries have been reduced to this situation, and they still want to survive this hurdle and find their way out. An acre of land is cultivated to support the family.
Under the identification of the salt dealer, the principal was found out.
A dozen people were tied up.
Xu Quan was about to go home when he caught a glimpse of a strange color out of the corner of his eye. He subconsciously cast his eyes to search, only to realize that the strange color was not ore, but a person's hair. He was curious at that time. The salt seller was also a sharp-eyed person. He rushed into the crowd like a dog and pulled the target out. He fawned over Xu Quan, nodding and bowing.
Xu Quan ignored his flattery.
"Take off the cloth from his head."
Under the ferocious warning look of the young slave, the salt seller pulled off the cloth. Revealing a head of braided hair that glowed with a mysterious purple light in the sun.
