Way to make money?
Zhao Heihu looked at Du Guiyuan suspiciously, "What kind of wealth?"
Du Guiyuan was hesitant and was about to speak when Sun Changxiao finally remembered Yun Zheng's instructions and quickly covered Du Guiyuan's mouth.
Du Guiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the old man had finally done his job.
Zhao Heihu noticed something was wrong and immediately pulled Sun Changxiao away, staring at him fiercely: "Old man, you dare to play tricks on me? Do you believe I will chop you off right now?"
Sun Changxiao was extremely frightened, but he suppressed his fear and winked at Du Guiyuan, signaling him not to say anything.
clang!
Zhao Heihu was too lazy to talk too much, so he suddenly drew his sword and put it on Du Guiyuan's neck, "Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise, I will send you to hell first!"
He really has some skills!
The process of drawing and striking the sword was done in one go, without any delay.
...
...
Du Guiyuan secretly praised him in his heart, but his face was full of panic. He stammered, "When we were leaving the city, we met a large merchant... merchant caravan. They were going to go this way, but when they heard that Master Hu was here, they took a detour and went south..."
"Caravan?"
Zhao Heihu narrowed his eyes and asked fiercely, "What is the caravan transporting?"
Zhao Heihu understood.
No wonder the old guy wouldn’t let the cripple speak!
This old guy can't even protect himself, and he still talks about morality?
"I... I don't know what they were transporting. I just saw piles of boxes, and they looked like they should be very valuable things." Du Guiyuan replied cautiously.
"How many people are there in the caravan?" Zhao Heihu asked immediately.
Du Guiyuan replied timidly: "There are more than a hundred people, and there seem to be cavalry escorting them..."
cavalry?
When Zhao Heihu heard Du Guiyuan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Cavalry is very rare.
I'm afraid the entire Wuyang County can't even muster a hundred cavalrymen.
Anything that is escorted by cavalry must be very valuable!
Thinking of this, Zhao Heihu immediately asked: "How many cavalrymen do they have?"
"There should be thirty or forty people."
Du Guiyuan replied cautiously.
Thirty or forty people?
Zhao Heihu immediately started to think about it.
With so many people under his command, a mere thirty or forty cavalrymen would naturally be no problem for him.
Besides, war horses are very valuable!
The dozens of horses they had now, except for a few war horses snatched from the government troops, were mostly pack horses and mules.
If I could grab those war horses, I could definitely form a team of elite cavalry!
By then, won’t I be even more powerful?
Thinking of those valuable war horses and goods, Zhao Heihu suddenly became jealous.
"If you dare to lie to me, you're dead!"
Zhao Heihu gave Du Guiyuan a ferocious look and immediately sent someone on horseback to investigate in the direction Du Guiyuan mentioned.
More than half an hour later, the people sent by Zhao Heihu came back.
The situation is similar to what Du Guiyuan said.
There are not only cavalrymen in the caravan, but also beauties!
Moreover, judging from the wheel tracks left by the caravan, the cargo on the carriages must be very heavy and definitely valuable!
When they came back, the caravan members were resting near a forest about 20 miles away from Qingyang Mountain, and some were feeding hay to the horses.
However, the cavalry escorting the caravan are well-equipped and definitely not easy to mess with.
After listening to the reports from his men, Zhao Heihu became even more jealous.
Well-equipped cavalry!
Valuable cargo!
And there are beauties!
If we don't rob a caravan like this, we would be doing ourselves a disservice!
So what if those cavalrymen were well-equipped?
How could a mere few dozen people be a match for so many of them?
Kill those cavalrymen, their horses and equipment will all be yours!
The more Zhao Heihu thought about it, the more excited he became. He shouted, "Pass the order down. Leave a hundred people to guard the stronghold. The rest of you, follow me to eat meat!"
…
"Sixth Prince, can I ask you something?"
Next to the woods, Zhang Xu found Yun Zheng eating some dry food.
Yun Zheng swallowed the dry food in his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Xu pulled Yun Zheng aside and asked in a low voice: "You were pretending when you were in the Imperial City before, right?"
This problem has actually troubled Zhang Xu for a long time.
After seeing all these, he found that Yun Zheng had changed a lot.
Be decisive in your actions and plan everything before you act.
He laughs when he should, and is decisive when he should be bossy.
Even the tigress Shen Luoyan was completely taken advantage of by him.
"He must be pretending!"
Yun Zheng answered with a smile on his face.
"ah?"
Zhang Xu was stunned and could hardly believe his ears.
"Ah what?"
Yun Zheng smiled at him and said, "Didn't you see it all? Why are you so surprised?"
"I……"
Zhang Xu was slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to admit it so readily."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I was just pretending."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I really treat you as a friend. At this point, there is no need to hide anything from you."
Originally, he planned to have a good talk with Zhang Xu after reuniting with Madam Shen and the others.
Since Zhang Xu has now realized that something is wrong, there is no need for him to hide it any longer.
“Ah… this…”
Zhang Xu was somewhat flattered, but asked in confusion: "Why do you want to pretend to be useless?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "You know my situation. If I hadn't pretended to be useless, facing my brothers and their followers, do you think I could have survived until now?"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Zhang Xu couldn't help but be surprised.
Thanks to his grandfather being Zhang Huai, although he had never been to the palace, he knew a little about what was going on there.
None of those princes are easy to deal with.
Yun Zheng had no background, and even his biological mother was just a palace maid.
For a powerless prince like him, the more talented he is, the faster he will die!
The imperial family is the most ruthless, and this is not just an empty statement.
Just as Zhang Xu was feeling deeply moved, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the distance.
Those people were holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, shouting and rushing towards this side, and some of them were rushing to both ends of the official road, obviously trying to cut off their escape route.
“Go ahead!”
“Quick, quick!”
“Go!”
"Enclose this entire forest for me!"
Zhao Heihu roared excitedly and led a large group of bandits to rush over here.
"Are these idiots really here?"
Looking at the bandits rushing towards this side like a tsunami, Zhang Xu couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment, Zhang Xu was not afraid, he even wanted to laugh.
"Money moves people's hearts!"
Yun Zheng sighed with a smile on his face.
While they were talking, Zhao Heihu had already led his men to rush over.
Feng Yu immediately led dozens of cavalrymen to protect Yun Zheng and his men.
"Anyone who takes a step forward will be killed!"
Feng Yu stood on his horse with his sword drawn, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Looking at the dozens of well-equipped cavalrymen, Zhao Heihu suddenly became envious.
When his eyes swept over the goods and women, the greed on his face became even more intense, and he shouted at Feng Yu viciously: "Leave behind the horses, equipment, goods and women, and I will spare your life!"
