Chapter 212 Buyer
More than 60 people traveling by car and horse were ordered to get out of the car and walked eastward on foot. The old people who have been here are very calm, this trip has no opinion, no one is a fool with so many trucks of pig iron, so these coachmen have no complaints about retreating three miles. It is better to know less.
But Tan Bin and the other three Xuan Qingwei's spies didn't think it was good.
The three of them got closer in a tacit understanding, and after a short exchange of words, they decided that the two of them would act as a cover, and Tan Bin slipped back quietly to see the situation.
Fortunately, there were no one monitoring the sixty or so horse dealers when they were heading east. Maybe the buyers ignored these "reliable" transport convoys after many transactions without incident. They are all ordinary people, and no one cares too much.
It was very easy for Tan Bin to quietly leave the team without the monitoring of the monks and the targets were all ordinary coachmen, not to mention the cover of his companions. Almost turning around, there was one less person in the talking and laughing team.
He jumped into the grass on the side of the road, then rolled to the small woods behind, and then the shade of the trees quickly opened up the distance from the crowd, making a big circle and approaching the place where the convoy stopped before.
Don't get too close, the opposite is full of monks, and Tan Bin doesn't know how much he has cultivated. His training is that he must never approach the monks within half a mile to test, otherwise he may be discovered by the monks' means.
Tan Bin moved quickly, running in the forest like a flexible ape, and soon found a tree on a hill and climbed up. This is already the highest point recently, and one mile ahead you can just see where the convoy stops.
After confirming the location, Tan Bin took out a copper ball covered with formation patterns, the size of a walnut, from his arms, and then took out a pan-spirit stone, stuffed it skillfully into the copper ball, and then activated it. The next moment, the copper ball floated in the air, quickly covering the position of Tan Bin's right eye like a mechanical eyeball.
This is the ball detection, a low-grade magic weapon with only one purpose: it can extend the vision to a place as far as two miles away.
Scouting is widely used. Basically every scout in the army will carry one when he goes out. He can see the movement of the target by hiding one or two miles away. Unless the opponent uses large-scale countermeasures, it will be very difficult. Discover this sight peep from a distance.
Tan Bin waited quietly under the cover of the ball and the shade of the tree. In the field of vision after the ball was added, the thick cloth on the carriage had been lifted. The neatly stacked pig iron blocks were exposed, and the surrounding monks did not go to get them, but were vigilant around them.
After about a meal, Tan Bin saw a lot of people coming out of the bamboo forest near the convoy, they should be barbarians!
That piece of bamboo forest is the Wanli Bamboo Sea to the south, and it doesn't take two or three miles to get in, so it's not actually the boundary of the Jingjiu Dynasty. And the south of the bamboo sea is the territory of the barbarians, and now the people who come out of the bamboo sea are naturally the barbarians.
So big!
The barbarians who came out of the bamboo forest quickly approached the direction where the convoy stopped, and then their size was in stark contrast to the monks guarding the side of the convoy.
It's close to eight feet, and some even look like nine feet! And all of them are tall and thick, with very little clothes on their bodies, and their exposed muscles are like rocks with a metallic luster that is eye-catching.
Look at the appearance again. The ears of this barbarian are very big, a little overhanging, and the nose is slightly long, with a drooping range, and there are two pointed teeth protruding from the corners of their mouths.
Elephants! And it's the tusked elephant family!
Tan Bin clicked his mouth, he would do this habitually when he was nervous. Even though it was separated by a mile and shaded by trees, the twenty or so tusked elephants in the scout's field of vision still gave him a great sense of oppression.
Because if you want to talk about which tribe is the most powerful among the barbarians, it is definitely the long-tusked elephant tribe. The whole tribe has practiced physical training, and their strength is infinite, not to mention that their muscles and muscles are as tough as armor, and it is difficult for ordinary magic weapons to hurt them. If we insist on the weakness, the number of members of the tusked elephant clan is too small, otherwise the position of the first clan in the barbarian clan would not be the turn of the wolf clan.
It turns out that these pig iron blocks were sold to the tusked elephant clan? Isn't it said that the tusked elephants like to charge naked the most? What are you doing with the pig iron? Cast armor?
Tan Bin shuddered unconsciously at the thought of this possibility. What would happen if the Tusked Elephant Clan, whose body was already as tough as armor, was covered with a layer of heavy armor?
Unsure, but Tan Bin continued to look into the distance without blinking.
Although I couldn't hear what the monks and the Tuskers said, it was obvious that they knew each other. After a few words, the leader of the Tuskers took out a storage bag and began to fill it with pig iron , and soon pretended to take more than half of it. However, the capacity of the storage bag is also limited, and there are obviously some remaining. These tusked elephants don't need to call, and they can take them away one by one without any effort.
Even just like that, he got into the bamboo sea with 50 kilograms of iron on each side and disappeared.
And those monks who delivered the goods did not stay or call the convoy, but just raised their hands and threw a signal symbol, which exploded in the sky with a loud noise, and then quickly left from another direction.
The loud noise was a sign, indicating that all the goods in front had been delivered, and some of the drivers behind were familiar with the route, calling the drivers who were sitting in twos and threes on the ground bragging to get up and return to the convoy. And Tan Bin also hung the tail of the team again on the side of the road and joined in.
First go back to a small town near Haixia for repairs, and start driving back the next day. Because the return is not downstream, the speed is slower than the land route. And the car and horse trip will not be in vain. The convoy picked up some transportation work section by section along the road, and it took more than a month to return to Fengsun City.
However, Tan Bin's news was first encrypted and sent back through Xuan Qingwei's news channel when he was in Haixia.
It was the fifth day of July when Shen Haoyuan got the encrypted copper bars from Tan Bin in Fengri City, which was the third day after Tan Bin witnessed the transaction.
Shen Hao looked at the detailed description in the copper bar. He was mentally prepared to sell the pig iron to a barbarian, but now the information is only conclusive.
However, Shen Hao didn't expect that the tusked elephants would come out of the bamboo sea to the border of Xiaochuan to collect the goods. Didn't it mean that the tusked elephants were all slaughtered in the last war? It doesn't look like it is today.
Who is the other "Ma San" who bought pig iron from Xiaoshan Tieluzhuang on the black market? I didn't see it this time, but it is certain that there is a group of people between the real buyer, the barbarian, and the seller, Xiaoshan Tieluzhuang. Matchmaking, from the fact that dozens of monks can be dispatched for escort, it can be seen that the power is not small. Who is this group of people?
In addition, Shen Hao is also curious that the pig iron is bought by the tusked elephant clan, what about the pan-spirit stone and food?
