“They were killed because they stayed behind to protect our retreat and intercepted the enemy soldiers.
We must take revenge!"
"That's right, we must avenge our brothers! Since we can't escort the goods, we'll join the army and kill the enemy ourselves."
"Let's go find the shopkeeper and ask him to send us to join the army. Only by following His Highness the Sixth Prince can we get revenge."
Everyone was filled with indignation and immense anger.
He had completely disregarded his own death and only wanted to kill the enemy with his own hands to avenge himself.
Now that things have come to this, they will not stop.
He exchanged horses for several carriages and took the bodies of his companions away.
On the way, he met Lei Ying's men and knew that the situation was serious, so he quickly took them to the camp in the distance.
Lei Ying was extremely angry when he heard this.
"The barbarians are truly treacherous. They deserve to die. They sent envoys to negotiate peace, yet they robbed our caravans.
I think they are simply tired of living.
Tell His Highness about this immediately so he can take appropriate action."
"We want to avenge our brothers, so let us stay in the army."
“Yes, they stayed behind to stop the enemy in order to cover our retreat.
We will take revenge with our own hands."
"Just take us in. We'll do anything to get revenge!"
Zhao Wudi was also furious.
Knowing that they are all caravans under Li Ye, these people are completely trustworthy.
He immediately decided to grant them special admission: "Go and take care of your affairs first, and then come back to me.
Since you want to kill the enemy and take revenge, the best choice is to add cavalry.
All the cavalry under my command are elite, and all the war horses were snatched from the barbarians.
Only in this way can we have a chance of defeating the enemy."
"Okay, we're all willing to join the cavalry."
"We'll come find you as soon as we send the body to the family."
Thunder Eagle gave them a better carriage that could travel faster on the highway.
After everything was settled, the caravan was sent away.
Lei Ying's face was extremely gloomy, and he said loudly: "Inform the brothers to stop all the caravans heading to the grasslands, and absolutely do not send them any goods.
Let these caravans return to their original route as soon as possible and don't go to their deaths again.
If the barbarians dare to do this, I will definitely not let them get any supplies."
Zhao Wudi's expression was extremely serious, he was thinking in the long term.
"It seems we must be more vigilant. The barbarians must have considered the consequences if they dare to do this.
If the northern kingdoms lack our goods, all tribes will be greatly affected.
This means they are not going to cut off the supply at all.
The only solution is to attack Dayuan and seize the necessary supplies.
This means the peace talks are simply a facade; they are ready to attack us at any moment."
"Got it. I'll keep an eye on their every move! I'll leave the fighting to you."
Lei Ying gnashed his teeth in anger.
Lei Zhan's temper became even more violent, and he wished he could lead his army to attack directly.
Suddenly, I thought of something important: "By the way, we intercepted a large number of weapons last time.
This caravan was not only escorted by disciples from Yunlu Pavilion, but also passed through numerous checkpoints smoothly along the way.
Will they continue to smuggle goods across the grasslands privately?"
Lei Ying nodded and said, "You have a point. Yunlu Pavilion is a traitor and will definitely help secretly.
Let our brothers search carefully and be more careful when checking each other.
If it were a smuggling caravan, they would likely kill people if they were discovered."
Lei Zhan sneered: "Playing this kind of trick in front of me is simply courting death.
There’s no way I’m going to give them a chance.”
The atmosphere at the border became increasingly tense.
The caravans that arrived later heard that the grassland had become very dangerous and many of them had been attacked.
Moreover, any caravan that entered the grassland never came back alive, which scared them all.
No longer thinking about making money, he quickly turned around and went back.
It doesn’t matter if I lose some travel expenses, the most important thing is to save my life.
However, there were also a few caravans that did not react even after receiving the news.
Instead, he laughed at others for being too stingy and resolutely decided to go into the grassland to do business.
These caravans soon came into the attention of Lei Ying's men.
Their every move was closely monitored.
After hearing this, Lei Ying sneered.
He said to Lei Zhan: "It seems that your guess is correct! People who do business know how to avoid danger.
If he knew that the grassland was dangerous, how could he still go there?
Do they really value money over life?"
Lei Zhan continued, “That is to say, these caravans are specifically used to smuggle goods to the barbarians.
They are not afraid of being robbed and killed by the barbarian army."
"That's the only explanation! Even if they're truly daring and would rather die than make money.
Rather than letting them die at the hands of the barbarians, provide them with goods.
It would be better if we could take action. At least the goods won't go to the enemy cheaply."
The Thunder Eagle was filled with murderous intent.
If you still support the enemy at this time, you deserve to die.
Li Ye was not here, the decision-making power was in the hands of Lei Ying and Zhao Wudi.
As long as the three people reach a consensus, a decision can be made.
Zhao Wudi was also decisive in killing.
I agreed immediately: "You are right, let's do it!
If it really is a barbarian spy caravan, they might have colluded with the Third Prince and the Crown Prince.
Generals at the border may be able to provide assistance.
Since we are going to take action, we must not only be ruthless, accurate and quick, but also prevent the news from leaking out."
Lei Ying and Lei Zhan looked at each other and understood what Zhao Wudi was thinking.
"Then we'll pretend to be bandits and rob the caravan. If that doesn't work, we'll put on barbarian armor and pretend to be barbarians to invade and rob the caravan.
Even if the news leaks out, it has nothing to do with us."
"That's a good idea! When the other garrisons heard about the barbarian cavalry invasion, they didn't dare to confront them head-on.
As long as we act quickly enough, no one will know it was us who did it."
The three of them discussed it and took action immediately.
To be on the safe side, three cavalry units were arranged.
Each cavalry group consisted of five or ten men, all riding fast horses and dressed as barbarians.
When the caravan approaches the border, set out immediately to intercept it.
Lei Ying and the other two were right in their guess. This caravan was transporting a large quantity of weapons and fine iron.
Shi Wushuang specially arranged for disciples from Yunlu Pavilion to escort them personally, and even the driver was a barbarian who had lurked in.
With the travel permits issued by the Third Prince and the Crown Prince, the journey was smooth.
Even if you meet someone from the government, they will be let go immediately as long as you show your credentials.
I don't even have the courage to check.
They dared not offend the Third Prince and the Crown Prince.
Not to mention that many officials are descendants of the Third Prince and the Crown Prince.
I haven’t even tried to please them enough, how dare I check their goods!
They were about to reach the border and enter the barbarian territory.
The escorting barbarians were extremely excited.
Everyone was very excited.
"We are finally almost done with the mission. The king will surely reward us."
"Of course. With this batch of weapons and fine iron, we will definitely be able to strengthen the barbarian tribe's power."
"The Dayuan people are so shameless that they betray their own people for the sake of profit. They will be defeated by us sooner or later."
