on the bustling pipeline
Even at night, there are still individual caravans on their way, hoping to deliver goods to the south or north in the shortest possible time.
In this way, they can make a little more while the price of goods is still high, and they may even make an extra trip before the Chinese New Year.
There are no tunnels, no highways, and no speeds of 100 kilometers an hour. All transportation relies on packhorses. It is worth mentioning that as the Tang government continued to introduce some simple technologies for civilian use, the cargo transportation in Datang was greatly improved.
carriage
Ox cart
Shock Absorbers
Or a rubber ring
Rubber completely replaced Eucommia ulmoides with the Tang Dynasty's fleet transportation, and its output also increased a lot. Most of it was used by Li Mingda for military purposes. Only a few private traders relied on their own cargo ships to transport it to the Tang Dynasty. Because they did not know how to refine it, they were eventually acquired by the government.
Naturally, Li Mingda would not buy it with cash, but would exchange it with the other party for some of the finished products that were of poor quality and could not be used by the military.
Goods for materials
Both parties are satisfied
Da da da
Footsteps echo in the night
On the pipeline at night, the leader escorting the goods asked his crew to lead the way with torches, and some carriages also had bits and pieces stuck in them.
In the past, torches were not cheap, and the cost of light cloth and grease was high.
Now that the Tang Dynasty military has begun refining oil in a planned way, the cost of these torches made of old materials has dropped a lot.
Coupled with the profits from the caravan's goods and the gangsters who had been wiped out on the pipeline, they considered traveling at night.
In the woods on the roadside, several dark figures are slowly walking through
Don't watch the TV series. A group of assassins are really marching in the woods, flying over walls and walls. The dense vegetation and shrubs alone can give people a lot of stress, not to mention the potholes that appear from time to time.
Even in modern times, if there are no roads in the deep mountains and woods, it is difficult to cross the mountains and ridges.
Night---harder
Huhuhu
One of the dark figures stepped on a slippery stone and fell to the ground.
The team stopped
Several people came together to help the fallen person up.
One of them said: "Chief, it's okay for us to walk in the woods. There are grass and stone holes everywhere. How can we catch up with the cavalry of the Jin Yiwei?"
The leader looked up at the speaker, raised his hand and flew out a sleeve arrow, directly into the opponent's chest.
The man's eyes widened and he looked down at his chest with an unbelievable look on his face.
"Why?"
Suddenly the man realized something, and then he wanted to say something, but finally fell to the ground and stopped moving.
died
The eyes of the people around me suddenly shrank.
They looked at their leader in horror. They were an assassination squad in the organization, and the captain was also a veteran. But why did they suddenly kill their own people?
"Let's go with his body"
Listening to the undeniable tone in their leader's words, coupled with the obedience education, they silently picked up their dead companions and followed their team leader back.
Walked for about an hour
The surrounding shrubs and grass were getting denser and denser. The leader of the team looked at the surrounding environment and stopped.
Point to the ground
"Dig a hole and bury him. After all, we are still brothers."
(⊙o⊙)…
Everyone looked at each other, took out their weapons and started digging holes. As for asking why?
No one dares to speak
Even though the tools are not very good, digging holes is faster when there are more people. It takes about half an hour to complete a hole with one person.
He started to throw the person in, then used his hands and feet to backfill the surrounding soil, and then got some fallen leaves on top.
Someone else got some branches and piled them up.
He works smoothly and without any mess, and you can tell he is a skilled worker at a glance.
After the scene was settled, the leader said calmly: "This mission is over, everyone, please go back."
"Yes, Chief"
"Call Captain"
"Yes, Captain"
"Let's go. I will report the situation of the master when I get back. You don't have anything to worry about."
A few people knew that they were just knives in other people's hands, using money to do things. As for why the leader did what he did, they had no control over it.
After all, they are professional killers who are only responsible for collecting money and doing things. As for anything that happens on the road, there is a captain who leads the team.
Seeing that the people in his team had no objections, the team leader just asked people to go back.
Times have changed
This is no longer the era when mysterious organizations and gangs were rampant. Jinyiwei wiped out most private organizations and gangsters. Either they were incorporated or eliminated, and the remaining ones who were inconspicuous or those who were deeply hidden escaped by chance.
Then the people supported by the Tang government came to an end, and they began to control and continuously clean up the place.
Any organization will go astray one day, but now, in the early days of the Holy Emperor Mingzun of the Tang Dynasty, such a thing is almost impossible.
Of course, it’s not that they didn’t try. Under normal circumstances, they would die if they tried. A few Jin Yiwei who were bribed did not escape the fate of being investigated and executed.
However
What he didn't expect was that at this time, the head of his family had taken over a business.
Following and investigating the Jin Yiwei who were traveling from the south to Chang'an City, after getting to know them over the years, he knew exactly what these people did.
To transport some special items for His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun of the Tang Dynasty, their boss told themselves that their employer had asked them to get something back when they had the chance.
When is it?
He also attacked Jin Yiwei
It is difficult to bribe anyone nowadays, not to mention these are the elites of the Imperial Guard of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the thing sent to Mingzun Saint Emperor is 100% not simple, if it succeeds.
Can you run away?
Hiding in the mountains?
Heavy snow has sealed the mountain, and you will die if you go in there.
Going overseas?
Flags of the Tang Dynasty are everywhere
A place that is not the flag of the Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and it is very easy to die on the road.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you may not survive because of the language barrier. What's more, the Tang Dynasty won't be able to protect all of them.
I am also middle-aged, I have passed the age of passion, and I have seen the world clearly, and I hope to be able to safely escape from my current life.
so
When he was ordered to try to bribe a certain Jinyiwei Qianhu, he had already reached a consensus with the Jinyiwei inner guard and became the other party's secret line to ensure his wealth and life.
call
As for why he wanted to kill the person who spoke just now, the first reason was that the person couldn't see clearly, and the second reason was that he knew that there was always a person in the team who had an inappropriate personal connection with this employer.
The leader of the family and his brothers can follow him and leave a life at some point.
At dawn, a group of people came outside a certain county town, changed out of their night clothes, dressed up as traders, farmers, etc. and sneaked into the city.
After they entered the county town, they dispersed as if they didn't know each other, and it was as if nothing happened last night.
But what they didn't know was that not long after they buried their companions and left, another group of people wearing night clothes stood by the pit.
