Against this group of gangsters, the Rey County Guard Corps was powerless. They had organized many encirclement and suppression campaigns, but this group of gangsters were extremely cunning, and they always ended in miserably failed defeats.
This group of gangsters is very smart. They will send people to join each caravan in advance to confirm the value of the goods. Once it is worth taking action, they will ambush in advance and then attack quickly. If they succeed, they will immediately escape and go deep into the Huahe River Forest. No one is to be found.
This time, they focused on Uncle Ouyang's caravan, and the hooded man was one of theirs, having joined Uncle Ouyang's caravan as early as two years ago.
This time, Uncle Ouyang delivered five trucks and thirty barrels of fine wine, which cost more than three hundred thousand taels according to the market price.
For this reason, they kept strict confidentiality. Except for a few people who knew the truth, the other guards thought they were drinking low-quality red wine.
Unfortunately, this hooded man is one of the insiders.
He had an inexplicable relationship with Ouyang Feier. He had outstanding looks and a sweet mouth, and he easily got close to Ouyang Feier. The details of the goods this time were probably revealed to him by Ouyang Feier.
In fact, there were rumors in the caravan that he and Ouyang Fei'er had already slept together, and he might be the young owner of the caravan in the future. The reason why Daolin was driven out of the caravan this time was because he encouraged Ouyang Fei'er many times. If there is a reward, he must have contributed a lot.
"You said you were kicked out by that caravan, why do you care what they did?" Long Xiaonian asked in confusion.
"Huh, if it weren't for Uncle Ouyang's affection, it doesn't matter how many times Ouyang Feier dies. It's okay for others to care about her, but I have to save Uncle Ouyang!" Daolin said with a cold snort.
"Then why don't you just follow them tomorrow and help them when they are attacked?" Long Xiaonian said.
Dolin sighed and looked out the window. He was hesitating whether to inform Uncle Ouyang now.
"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door. Daolin withdrew his gaze and gave Long Xiaonian a hidden look before walking over and opening the door.
Outside the door, the owner of the hotel stood respectfully. Seeing Dolin open the door, he quickly bowed and said, "Sir, the hotel has prepared a sumptuous dinner, and I specially invite you to come downstairs for the banquet."
Seeing Daolin's hesitation, the boss continued: "In order not to disturb you, all other guests in the hotel have checked out. Don't worry, dinner belongs to you alone."
The occupants of this room were untouchable even by the guards. No one else knew about it, but the owner of the hotel knew about it. In order to make Dolin happy, he deliberately drove away the other residents.
"Thank you very much. All the expenses will be recorded in my room fee." Daolin did not refuse. Others respected him, so he naturally had to return the favor accordingly.
When we came to the first floor, we saw that the long table was filled with sumptuous dinners, and the standards were no less than those of important holiday celebrations.
The shop owner, the landlady, and Dolin started having dinner together. They exchanged glasses and talked and laughed.
After drinking until late at night, Daolin returned to the room. As soon as he entered the room, he lay on the bed and fell asleep. As a result, Long Xiaonian, who was lying on the bed, kicked him out of the bed.
There was no words for the whole night, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already bright. After rubbing his sleepy eyes, Dolin suddenly woke up, slapped his forehead hard, and secretly cursed himself for drinking and causing trouble.
He woke up Long Xiaonian, who was lying on the bed with a big font. The two of them washed up briefly and hurried downstairs.
The shopkeeper hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't bother to say goodbye. He took out twenty taels of silver ingots from the ring and placed them on the bar, thinking that the money would be enough to spend on last night's dinner.
We rushed all the way to Uncle Ouyang's mansion. In the empty courtyard, only the white-haired old man with a cane was cleaning the courtyard.
After asking around, I found out that the caravan had left for Huahechuan Forest early this morning. By calculating the time, it should have almost entered the forest.
Dorian was very upset and just wished he could catch up with them.
He hurried on as fast as he could, and when he passed by a horse-selling shop, he just threw out a hundred taels of silver notes, took a horse and ran away without looking at it.
Daolin was riding a horse, and Long Xiaonian was sitting in front of him. She still looked sleepy at this time, but the violent shaking made it impossible for her to fall asleep, and she was very angry for a while.
After rushing out of Rey County, there was an open field ahead. There were many caravans coming and going at this time, and Daolin couldn't raise his speed at all. In desperation, he had no choice but to ride his horse and gallop on the land beside him. The dust thrown up annoyed the passing merchants. The team yelled.
After about an hour, the terrain ahead began to rise, and huge and towering mountains appeared in the field of vision. All the eyes could see were big green trees.
The number of caravans gradually decreased, and there were only a few groups walking slowly as far as the eye could see, but these were not Uncle Ouyang's groups.
"We have to speed up." Daolin was a little anxious. It was approaching noon, and Uncle Ouyang, who had set off early in the morning, must have entered the forest.
No longer hesitating, Dolin raised his whip again, and the horse rushed towards the forest at a galloping speed.
Huahechuan Forest is a natural vast forest. The forest is hundreds of miles wide. The trees are lush and towering, blocking out the sun, which is daunting.
The five carriages advanced slowly, and the guards talked and laughed.
"Fei'er, I heard that your relationship with Dong Fengyue has developed very quickly, right?" Uncle Ouyang said to Ouyang Fei'er on the first car.
Ouyang Fei'er blushed, turned her head away, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Father, don't listen to those guys talking nonsense, my daughter doesn't have it."
"Hahaha... It doesn't look like you look like this. You are not young anymore. There is nothing wrong with pursuing your own happiness. Dong Fengyue's appearance as a kid is reasonable, and his skills are not bad, but he has not been able to awaken to martial arts. From now on..." Ouyang The uncle sighed.
"It doesn't matter. As long as our business is completed, the caravan can recruit more warriors in the future, so that we can feel more relaxed." Ouyang Feier began to envision a bright future in her mind.
Uncle Ouyang nodded. He was getting old, and the caravan would have to rely on his daughter in the future.
Not far from their carriage, Dong Fengyue was riding a horse. His eyes fell on Ouyang Feier, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
"My little beauty, tonight will be an unforgettable night. I hope you will enjoy it."
It had been two hours since they entered the forest, and now they were the only caravan left around.
"Everyone, please check whether the goods are secure." Uncle Ouyang shouted.
The guards on the other four carriages turned around and carefully inspected the ropes tied to the barrels.
Suddenly, a sound broke through the air. Everyone was startled and quickly looked for the source of the sound.
On the carriage, a guard who was inspecting the goods slowly turned around. A sharp arrow penetrated his chest, and blood continued to drip from the arrow.
His eyes widened, and he touched the arrow with his hand in disbelief. He never thought why he was hit by the arrow?
The pain gradually came, and he let out a miserable wail, fell off the carriage and stopped moving.
