When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy
Chapter 28: The Strange Town
Chapter 28: The Strange Town
On the rugged and winding mountain path, Gu Hua and Mu Xue rode on horseback slowly following the team in front for three days before they crossed the mountains and canyons.
At this time, looking around, you can see the endless wilderness. The plains, grasslands, and forests of the Northern Barbarians are all dyed with a light autumn color.
Mu Xue looked at Gu Hua worriedly and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
Gu Hua lowered his eyes to look at his bulging belly, and swung the whip in his hand, "No problem."
Her body is blessed with supernatural powers, so even if she falls, it will not shake the little ones in her belly at all.
The supernatural powers stimulated by the end of the world can not only be used as a means of attack, but also have another benefit, which is that they can greatly improve people's physical fitness.
After Gu Hua came here, she used her special abilities to improve this body. Now, even breaking rocks with her bare hands is no problem for her.
Mu Feng and Fang Kuan followed the bearded man and pulled the goods, deliberately avoiding inhabited areas. Gu Hua and Mu Xue fell far behind them.
It was not until the evening that they arrived at a dilapidated town made entirely of earth and wood. Mu Xue took out two veiled hats from her bag and they both put them on.
Leading the horses into the town would make them too conspicuous and easily be discovered, so Gu Hua asked Mu Xue to find a place where it would be difficult for people to notice and tie the two horses there.
Everywhere you look is desolate, with gusts of sand blowing over the dilapidated buildings. There is silence all around, and the whole town is eerily quiet.
Gu Hua discovered that since Mu Feng and his crew entered the town with more than fifty trucks of goods, there were many pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark.
Mu Feng and Fang Kuan in front had just entered this desolate town. Both of their bodies tensed up, as if they could hear their own heartbeats, getting faster and faster like drumbeats.
The bearded man who led the way noticed their nervousness but didn't say anything.
Because he himself looked around carefully, it showed that this place was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, and there must be hidden dangers in the dark.
Perhaps because they saw that their team had a large number of people and that those protecting the goods were all strong and sturdy and carrying weapons, the people hiding in the dark and observing did not rush to take action.
It was not until a strong wind blew by and rolled up the rainproof oilcloth, revealing the silk and wooden box filled with tea inside, that the people who were peeping in the dark could not help but jump out and stop them.
"Hu Da, I, Bahrain, want the goods that you and your men brought here this time." A barbarian man with a group of people behind him jumped out and said in a tough tone.
The bearded man said bluntly: "Every time you offer too low a price, others are unwilling to sell, and there is nothing I can do."
The big man was holding a big knife in his hand. Seeing Fang Kuan walking next to the bearded man and dressed more elegantly than the others, he thought he was the owner of the goods.
He raised the big knife and waved it in front of him, saying threateningly, "You don't want to sell the goods to me?"
Fang Kuan frowned as he faced the big knife in front of him. Thinking of his boss's trust in him, he suppressed his fear and said, "If the price is too low, I won't accept it."
"Fuck you, if you don't want to sell it to me, I'll chop you up."
The big man raised his sword and chopped towards Fang Kuan.
After all, Fang Kuan was just an ordinary person who didn't know kung fu, but he still held on, closing his eyes and not shouting in panic.
"Bang!" The big man fell three meters away.
Before Mu Feng kicked him out, the big knife in the big man's hand had already fallen to the ground, and his thick wrist was now covered in blood.
Mu Feng looked at the sword in his hand suspiciously. There was no trace of blood on it. He was sure that he had just kicked the man with his foot. The wound on the Khan's wrist was not caused by his sword. No one noticed that the blood flowing from the big man's wrist was mixed with a few pieces of broken ice that melted in it.
Seeing that Mu Feng and his men were about to fight with the big man's people in self-defense, the people who were observing secretly also became excited. If both sides were injured, they would find a chance to take advantage of the situation.
"Bahrain, what are you doing?" The bearded man moved and stood in front of the caravan. "These goods are destined for Shahrukh. If you dare to intercept them halfway, you will offend him."
He was the one who brought the people here. If anything went wrong easily, he would have no chance of staying in the smuggling business.
The big man held up his bleeding wrist, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the ferocious expression on his face subsided a little. It was obvious that the man the bearded man was talking about was more powerful here.
Seeing the bearded man signaling Fang Kuan and Mu Feng to continue walking forward, he shouted unwillingly: "Hu Da, do you think Shah Rukh is a good guy?
The merchants you brought this time have brought so many goods that it will cost a lot of money to complete the transaction.
I am waiting to see how you can take the silver away safely from the hands of Shah Rukh, that cunning old man."
The bearded man just took Balin's words as nonsense at this time. He thought that since he started the trade business, every time he brought in smugglers, he saw with his own eyes that the money and goods were paid after the transaction.
Baruch has become a wealthy businessman in the Northern Barbarians because he initially made his fortune by selling goods brought in by merchants from the interior of the country. I have been working with him for many years and have never seen him do anything like killing or robbing.
The bearded man didn't take Balin's words seriously, but when Gu Hua heard them, her eyes darkened, because she sensed that Da Han's tone was full of sarcasm and truth.
"It seems that this transaction may not be peaceful."
Mu Xue: "Master, do you believe what that rough man said?"
Gu Hua wrapped his cloak around his body and walked out of the alley. "Whether you believe it or not, you'll know after the transaction."
Thinking about what the big man said, they brought in too many goods this time, which attracted so many covetous eyes in this black market town.
This illustrates a situation: even if there were merchants smuggling in the past, the amount of goods transported for trading each time was not much.
Gu Hua pursed his lips slightly, feeling that he was a little hasty this time.
After some silent calculation, he found that 60% of the goods transported this time were worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.
According to what the bearded man said, the value of the goods shipped to the Northern Barbarians would at least increase fivefold, which would be around 600,000 to 700,000 taels. That is really a huge sum of money.
Gu Hua looked at the gray street in front of her, and she finally understood why the big man was so sure just now. The man named Shah Rukh would not let them take the money easily.
It's just because the deal is so big and requires too much silver.
They are now in the territory of the Northern Barbarians. The right time, place and people do not allow the man named Shah Rukh to let them take away the huge sum of money easily.
Mu Feng and his companions were taken to a three-meter-high courtyard at the end of the town. The bearded man knocked on the door and ran in with the servants to report.
Not long after, a burly middle-aged man came out, wearing a dark blue satin robe with piping.
"Friends inside the pass, you have worked hard on the journey, please come in..."
