Chapter 45 is here (Please read! Please recommend!)
Tan Wen got ten horses.

He and Wang Yuan made up a total of ten people who rode out of the city.

It was Wang Yuan’s first time riding a horse, but he found it very easy.

Because his perfect Yellow Sand Fist gave him control far beyond that of ordinary people, and the speed and strength of ordinary horses were too weak for him now, so it was naturally easy.

"Drive! Drive!"

They rode for nearly two hours and came to a rocky forest.

This is the only way for the caravan to take.

Although it is a bait, it cannot be too obvious.

The route that had been robbed before was definitely not usable anymore, so this time the caravan purchased cattle and sheep from herdsmen on another route.

If the people from the Jingfeng Bandits were still keeping an eye on them, they would definitely be able to find them...

Hundreds of cattle and sheep cannot be pulled by vehicles and need to be driven by manpower on foot, so it takes a lot of time, two to three days, or even four or five days is normal.

The horse bandits can rob at will along this road of hundreds of miles.

So, they came early and waited secretly, waiting for the arrival of the bandit group.

"We have come here to purchase several times before, so we have a certain basis for cooperation. Besides, it is the first month of the lunar year, and the herders' stored fodder is starting to run out. We can do the deal quickly if we can reach an agreement. The faster the deal, the faster it will be. In the afternoon - they are already on the way now."

Tan Wen introduced.

"Ah."

Chen Wenjin nodded and looked in the direction of the herdsmen’s settlement.

In winter, herders usually gather together to prevent snowstorms, bandits and wolves.

Dozens of households have tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and they can easily take out hundreds or even thousands of them.

But at this moment, it was all white and nothing could be seen.

"Let's wait."

Chen Wenjin turned around and returned to the team.

Tan Wen had already planned and arranged everything. If everything goes well for the caravan, they will definitely camp nearby tonight.

This place is only a dozen miles away from the herdsmen’s settlement, and the checkpoints in between can be seen. In addition, the herdsmen will also protect the caravan and prevent anything from happening nearby.

Don't underestimate the herdsmen. One family has five to six people, seven to eight people, and at least two or three able-bodied men. They eat meat every day, practice martial arts, archery, horse riding and shooting, and fight against nature and wild beasts and monsters. The proportion of high-level masters far exceeds that of the Central Plains, and their combat experience is even more.

Normally, there would be at least a dozen entry-level warriors and two to three eighth-level warriors at a gathering place on a winter day.

In addition, men, women, young and old can all fight, and ordinary bandit groups are no match for them.

Now they just have to wait.

"coming!"

Before dark, a large group of people finally approached slowly.

White sheep are not very conspicuous in the snow, but brown and black cattle, people and horses of various colors are easier to spot.

There were dozens of people and hundreds of cows, and the huge team was majestic.

It was just that it was really hard to drive the cattle and sheep in winter. After struggling for more than half an hour, they finally entered the rocky forest, and then...

Not long after, Guo Xin came over.

"It's too troublesome. The Jingfeng bandits have been causing a lot of trouble recently. Even the herdsmen here have heard about it. They have been on guard and have been tossing around for most of the day."

Guo Xin took a breath and said.

"As long as it goes smoothly, it will be easy for us to defeat the Jingfeng Bandits later."

Chen Wenjin was wearing a cloak, her snow-white skin shone brightly in the firelight, her red lips slightly parted, giving her a special charm.

"Ah."

Guo Xin was stunned and nodded heavily.

"This time we must make sure that the Jingfeng Bandits will never return!"

By defeating the Jingfeng bandits, the Jinta Chamber of Commerce will be able to make a name for itself here, and doing business will become much easier in the future.

"Drink some hot soup and go back quickly. We can't do without you over there."

Chen Wenjin stood up, turned her back to the fire, and slowly exerted force on the scabbard with her jade hands.

She hasn't had such murderous intent in a long time. Jing Shuo must die!
"Yes, Miss Third!"

Guo Xin drank the hot soup that Tong Ling handed over to him and quickly turned and left.

He must perform well this time to impress Wenjin!

When he breaks through to the seventh rank, I will ask my father to ask the head of the family for marriage.

He is willing to marry into the Chen family!
Nothing happened all night.

On the second day of the journey, Wang Yuan finally got a clear understanding of the entire team's situation.

Seven or eight hundred adult cashmere sheep, each weighing over a hundred pounds, fat and strong, gathered together, raising their heads and shaking their hips, forming a mighty and spectacular sight.

Behind them were hundreds of yaks, an average of twenty yaks tied to a rope, led by people from the Shang tribe.

There was another person riding a horse behind to cover the retreat.

At the front were seven horse-drawn carts, six of which were loaded with hay, and the last cart was loaded with food, utensils and some weapons for the caravan.

This time, the Ministry of Commerce sent more than 20 people, and the Purple Gold Hall sent 30 elite guards, a total of more than 50 people, plus nearly 40 horses, the daily consumption is also a considerable number. Only a large merchant group like the Golden Pagoda can afford it.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The sea was calm and there were no bandits.

Of course, it is too early to say now. No one, whether it is the caravan or Wang Yuan and others who are secretly guarding them, relaxes their efforts.

The last day's journey is the most dangerous. It is close to Xufeng City and there are many caravans there, which is a place that bandit gangs like to attack.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Jingfeng bandit group will appear.

Of course, it’s okay if they don’t show up. It’s a good thing that the goods arrive safely, and they can set up another trap and wait.

"啾~~~"

An eagle's cry suddenly resounded through the sky, and a large bald eagle appeared, circling in the air with its wings spread.

"!!"

Everyone in the caravan suddenly became nervous.

Under normal circumstances, the eagle would not dare to target the flock of sheep being driven by so many people, so the most likely possibility is that it was domesticated by humans and used for reconnaissance.

therefore……

"I'm going to shoot it down!"

Wang Yuan immediately dismounted and rushed towards the caravan until he was nearly a hundred meters away.

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow.

"call out--"

An arrow flew through the air.

There is nowhere to hide from the perfect archery skills.

"Pfft-"

The bald eagle's head was pierced instantly, and it rolled down from the sky.

"it is good!"

The people in the caravan cheered loudly.

And far away.

"My big eagle!"

A lean and skinny old man with gray hair cried out in pain.

"Damn it, it's just a caravan, why do we have to be so cautious? Let's do it, go ahead!"

A middle-aged man with short hair and a beard next to him waved his hand.

"Brothers, rush!"

"rush!"

"Kill!"

Hundreds of riders shouted and then quickly charged forward.

Led by the bearded man, they headed straight for the caravan.

"Boom boom boom——"

Soon the rumbling sound of horse hooves reached the caravan.

"The horse bandits are coming!"

Guo Xin shouted and quickly organized the people and formed a formation.

First, they drove the sheep aside and surrounded them with oxen, then the horse-drawn carriages, and finally the people from Zijin Hall, who all took out bows, arrows, swords and guns, ready for battle.

After shooting, Wang Yuan did not return, but found a place to continue observing.

After a while, Chen Wenjin brought everyone to him.

At this time, the situation of the caravan was also reflected here, and they realized that the horse bandits were coming.

"Don't rush to act now. Let's take a look at the situation and determine who is Jing Shuo. I heard that he is very cunning."

Chen Wenjin reminded.

"understood."

"Yes, Miss Third!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Bang bang bang-"

Horse bandits appeared, one man per horse, and there were hundreds of them.

"Draw your bow! Shoot!"

Guo Xin yelled.
