1111. Secret observation
On the first night after the caravan set out from Yorkshire, the vice president of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of the entire team, organized everyone to camp.
Ren Xiaosu found that these people were quite particular about camping. The carriages formed a circle outside the camp and even used their suitcases to cover the carriages and horses.
In just a moment, the various carriages were erected like city walls, on the periphery of the camp.
"It's professional," Ren Xiaosu exclaimed next to Mego: "What does this deputy president do? Why is it so professional?"
In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, once such a city wall-like camp was formed, it would be difficult for bandits and horse bandits to rush in, especially Ren Xiaosu also saw that the people from the Chamber of Commerce were carrying bows and arrows and crossbows. Among the civilians without thermal weapons, it would be completely fine to resist four or five times the enemy.
"This deputy president is a veteran. He seemed to have a low official title in the royal army before," Mego explained: "In fact, he doesn't know how to do business. The reason why the Chamber of Commerce gave him the position of vice president and gave him a high salary was that he valued his ability in business operations. All the large caravans of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce were basically led by him."
"So he is not responsible for business, just lead the group of guards in the caravan," Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, "No wonder he doesn't look like a businessman at all. A vice president of a chamber of commerce carries a bow all day long, and a long knife is on his waist. He looks weird. One thing is to say, look at the caravans around him, the high caravans and low caravans are arranged in a staggered manner. The caravans under his command all look energetic and never relax when standing guard, which shows that this man is indeed a good man to lead troops to fight."
"I've been following you for a reward."
Just as Ren Xiaosu was praising the deputy president, a voice next to him suddenly smiled and thanked Ren Xiaosu.
When Mego looked back, it was Qian Weining, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, who was standing beside the two of them.
Ren Xiaosu said curiously: "Is there any danger on the way to Ghent City? Do you need to be so cautious?"
"Isn't the follower from the wizard kingdom? How could he ask such a question?" Qian Weining smiled: "There are more than ten mountains controlled by bandits in the north alone, and this is the number four months ago. Now, four months have passed and there are still more. I don't know what happened, but suddenly there are more."
"Don't anyone care?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Those bandits who are experienced in battle will be able to care about them unless the Wizard takes action personally, but the Wizards... Haha, Lord Mego, I'm not talking about you. I know you, you are a good person," Qian Weining said.
Now Ren Xiaosu understood that the wizard kingdom is now collapsed, and coupled with a drought last year, all the people cannot pay the tax in full.
Now there are only two choices before them. Either occupy the mountain and become king, no matter when they are surrounded and suppressed, they can still live happily for a while. Or they will go to prison and suffer all the torture.
Qian Weining said at this time: "But don't worry, Lord Meigo, with you in charge of the caravan, there will be no problem."
Mego smiled and said, "Well, if there are really bandits, I will take action."
Ren Xiaosuxin said that this wizard kingdom really brought all the wizards to the sky, and Mego seemed to have no idea how much he was.
With Mego's wind-binding technique and earth-binding technique, he managed to control four or five bandits. When hundreds of people rushed up together, even if he was a wizard, he would have to be killed by random swords...
At this time, dozens of bonfires had been lit in the camp, hundreds of people gathered around their own bonfires, and some young people were even singing and dancing.
Women carried their fluffy skirts and danced with men in hand that they had never seen before.
Qian Weining sent someone to bring the prepared meals. Ren Xiaosu looked around while eating. He suddenly realized that the middle-aged woman he had seen during the day had not gotten out of the car and was still hiding in his carriage.
He looked at the carriage, and the curtains in the car window were pulled up, as if someone was quietly looking at him behind the curtain.
When Ren Xiaosu saw him, he quickly put down the curtains for convenience.
Inside the car, the little witch lowered her voice and said, "Auntie, that boy seems to have discovered me."
The woman said, "Did you look at him secretly?"
"Well," the little witch muttered: "I wanted to observe him, but his eyes suddenly swept over and I felt like I was seen through."
The woman thought about it and pulled the curtain halfway open, and waved to Ren Xiaosu with a smile, as if she had the intention of letting Ren Xiaosu get on the car.
Immediately, Ren Xiaosu changed his gaze...
The woman said to the little witch: "This person is not simple, and now we cannot be sure whether he has begun to doubt us, so don't look at him secretly."
"Oh," replied the little witch Anan.
When it was late at night, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the walls of the carriage besieged.
Many people woke up. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, everyone heard a buzzing sound coming from the sky, and then a feather-tailed arrow pierced in the middle of the camp!
Someone screamed: "Bandits! There are bandits!"
Qian Weining, who was resting, rolled up from the ground and shouted at the caravan guards: "Follow me!"
The bandits came from the east, exactly where Ren Xiaosu and Meigo were located. Qian Weining led his men to gather quickly, used the carriage window as a stack of arrows, and then shot!
Mego was a little in a hurry. Although he was a wizard, he had never seen such a formation. Arrows flew from the sky, and the traces of the arrows could not be seen clearly in the dark night.
Everyone looked for cover to hide, while Ren Xiaosu pulled up Mego and quickly moved his position.
During this period, Mego was somewhat shocked to find that when the arrows flew in two times, they should have been shot according to their movement trajectory, but Ren Xiaosu always took him to avoid it as if he accidentally did not.
Although the movements look a bit embarrassing, as long as your life is still there, what is it to be a little embarrassing?
But Mego didn't know that there was still a carriage in the distance, and someone was secretly watching everything from the window.
Although my aunt told me not to look at it secretly, when the bandits arrived, An An couldn't help but look for Ren Xiaosu's location, wanting to see how the other party responded. Perhaps in this chaotic situation, he could see more details of the other party.
However, Ren Xiaosu disappointed her.
An An muttered, "Why do bandits know how to run away as soon as they come?"
My aunt glanced at her: "This is the choice of a smart person. If you encounter arrow rain in the future, remember to find a hidden location first."
