Chapter 189 Ding Yi
"stop!"

Ding Yi, the leader, raised his hand, and the armored soldiers riding behind him ordered him to stop and stopped immediately.

"Changfeng, Lin Chen!"

It turned out that the two came to the gate of the city and came out to welcome Ding Yi according to the time indicated on Feige's letter.

"Brother Ding!"

"Old Ding!"

Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen stepped forward, but they didn't see each other for a few days, and everyone had too much to say.

"Yes, you guys, you have opened up a new world in just a few days. Madam and the young master are very satisfied with you!"

Ding Yi joked about the two people in front of him.

But both Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen were thick-skinned. After hearing Ding Yi's praise, they were not only not humble, but rather complacent, "Hey, where is this?" Lin Chen waved his hand.Lu Changfeng simply patted his chest, "Hey, I originally wanted to do this the second day we came here, but now it's a good opportunity. My sister always said that if you work hard, you are lucky, and we are lucky. Ha ha!"

Seeing that the two people in front of him were more proud than the other, Ding Yi finally understood the purpose of the young master and his wife in sending him here.

Let alone other things, at least send an acquaintance over to listen to the two bragging, so as to save the two of them from getting sick.

Ding Yi shook his head amusedly, and punched the two of them on the shoulders, "Okay, okay, I'll see Madam and Lord Hou in the future, and when you have your heads up, let's do things first. How is the situation in the city now?"

The two turned their horses' heads and rode with Ding Yi towards the city. The three talked while walking.

"Hundreds of merchants have already signed up. Some of the goods are carried on shoulders, and some are in donkey carts and horse-drawn carts. We made a rough estimate. If there are hundreds of merchants, the team will probably pull out 50 [-] meters. If more people sign up tonight, The team should be stretched to more than two hundred meters, with one person at three meters and maintenance on both sides, we need about [-] people to guard Zhou Zhou's caravan."

Lin Chen said.

Ding Yi listened and nodded.

When Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen left Jincheng, Huo Jing gave them a guard of 200 people, and now Ding Yi brought [-] people, which is like having two guards.

Lu Changfeng went on to say, "Here's going to Hanzhong on the road. If you don't rest in the middle, you can reach it in the evening. We will leave tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow. The people brought by Brother Ding can just leave a team and set off the day after tomorrow. No delay. Before the end of the year, our two groups of guards can make six or seven trips back!"

Ding Yi listened to what Lu Changfeng said, and patted him on the shoulder, "Changfeng, that's not the way to calculate the score. Today, I set off for Hanzhong. After a tiring day, I set off again the next day. One or two trips is okay, after three trips , Everyone is going to be tired. Although our subordinates are all well-trained people, we don’t use them like this, so we must give them a chance to breathe and rest.”

Only then did Lu Changfeng realize that he had taken it for granted, and scratched his head, "Then what should I do? Ask brother-in-law for another team?"

Ding Yi smiled, "Changfeng, have you forgotten that your second brother is also in Hanzhong?"

Changfeng was suddenly stunned, and Ding Yi continued, "The young master has already communicated with the second young master to ask Chengyang to prepare a team and recruit merchants. Firstly, it can save time, and secondly, it will also increase Chengyang's income. Some political achievements. It is not easy for Chengyang to govern a region now."

"Great, I can see my second brother this time!"

Only then did Chang Feng suddenly realize that the opposite side of the business road was the land of Hanzhong where the second brother was.

"drive!"

With a whip and a shout, Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen led the merchant team to Hanzhong.

Although there are weeds on the road along the way, it is very solid when riding a horse. This is a trade road that has been stepped on by the footsteps of merchants for many years.

The mighty team was walking in the wilderness, which naturally attracted the ideas of interested people.But what Lu Changfeng didn't know was that beside him, there was an army no less than the pair of merchants hiding outside.

It turned out that yesterday, Ding Yi not only brought soldiers to help, but also scouts and soldiers. They were scattered to the wilderness from Tianshui to Hanzhong to clear the obstacles for this trade road.

Now that the scouts of the horse thief appeared, they were naturally noticed by the oriole behind them. A unilateral massacre began where the merchants could not see.

How can the horse thief be the opponent of the master of a hundred battles?But as soon as they met, the horse thieves were rushed and scattered by the army that had been hiding on the side for a long time.

"Hero, spare your life, we dare not! I buried all the treasures I collected over the years at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and I gave them all to you. Please spare my life!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, a leader of the horse thieves broke away from the team and ran for his life alone, but was spotted by the leader of the army, the captain, and chased him up.

The leading horse thief may not be the cruelest, but he must be the smartest. Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, he saw that he didn't have the courage to run away, so he got off his horse and knelt down to beg for mercy.

After hearing this, the captain shot him down with a single shot, knocking him out.

"Tie him up and wake him up. Interrogate him if he knows where the other horse thieves are hiding. After they are drained, kill him on the spot!"

After finishing speaking, the captain beat the horse and left, leaving the two of them to interrogate the horse thief on the spot.

The sky is wild and vast, here is close to the Qiang people, looking from a distance, there is a vast grassland, and in the distance of the grassland, there is a neat row of merchants, led by Lu Changfeng and Lin Chen, heading for Hanzhong.

Lu Changfeng, who took the lead, didn't notice anything unusual, but Lin Chen looked to the southwest vigilantly. It was darker there, and it seemed to be his familiar brother.

Although the two could not see each other, they nodded in greeting.They are brothers, of course there is still such a tacit understanding.

No one knows the secret killing, and no one sees the bloody scene of blood dripping on the withered grass.

"Okay, let's rest for a quarter of an hour. Everyone has a drink to catch their breath. If you are tired from walking, ask the master of the carriage and donkey cart next to you. The team can reach Hanzhong sooner, you know?"

Everyone sat on the grass and dirt road to rest. Lu Changfeng circled the team to check and shouted loudly.

After hearing this, the merchants responded abruptly, "Don't worry, young master, we will not let people be left behind!"

"Yes, Lao Qin, come here to rest with me, and drive on my carriage in a while!"

...

Lu Changfeng was extremely satisfied with everyone's responses, and after turning around, he went back to the front to have a drink with Lin Chen.

"Changfeng, look!"

Lin Chen patted Chang Feng's shoulder, who had dismounted from his horse, and told him to look into the distance.

Lu Changfeng's eyes were squinted. In the distance, there were only a dozen or twenty crooked-neck trees and a few weeds. Because pedestrians didn't leave, they grew a little arrogantly, and nothing else.

"What's the matter, Brother Lin?"

Lu Changfeng withdrew his gaze, he really didn't know what Brother Lin told him to look at.

Lin Chen smiled and pointed to the crooked neck tree next to him, "This is a rare wild bush along the way. If people on the road rest or ambush, this is a good place."

Only then did Lu Changfeng come to his senses, yes, there are horse thieves along the way.

"You go and have a look."

According to Lin Chen's words, Lu Changfeng approached a scraggly-looking grove.

"Look at the grass!"

Following Brother Lin's finger, Lu Changfeng finally saw that there was a drop of blood on the thin tall weed, which was shaking with the leaves of the grass. Lu Changfeng stretched out his hand, It turned out that the blood drops had become thick and cold, so they hung on the grass blades and did not drip.

"This is the style of the madam and the young master. Putting things first. We are all common people and merchants along the way. If they see killings, they will be frightened. So Ding Yi brought another team this time. Give us the way, with guards on both sides."

After hearing this, Lu Changfeng nodded. After all, he was not an ordinary boy. He grew up in a military home, so he didn't think much of it in comparison, but it was a pity that he couldn't witness it with his own eyes.

"I'm surrounded by ordinary people this time, so I'll definitely have a chance next time. Outside the capital, killings are everywhere."

Lin Chen said.

Lu Changfeng nodded expectantly.
