Chapter 922: Great Victory
"Brother Li, is the salt on the market like this?"
"There are two kinds of salt on the market. One is the private salt we are selling now. There is also another kind called snowflake salt, which is much better than the salt we eat. It is not bitter, and the color is whiter and more transparent.
Those snowflake salts are more expensive, one catty costs ten taels of silver, which is only affordable for the rich and powerful. Ordinary people like us can only eat these salts."
Li Tieniu was surprised that Jiang Xiaoxiao actually asked this. Could it be that Jiang Xiaoxiao is not a daughter of an official?
Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart moved. In fact, salt making is not a complicated process.
Snowflake silver is the refined salt she eats. After simple filtering and processing, the price rises sharply.
With such high profits, it is naturally profitable.
It is really a lucrative industry.
It is really painful to see these people living with their heads on their shoulders.
This is how monarchical countries are, especially in troubled times.
Everyone is on the road.
The return journey is obviously not peaceful.
It showed that several passers-by with obvious intentions followed behind them, not too fast or too slow, not too far or too close. When they walked halfway to a steep place, the bandits who surrounded them from front and back finally appeared.
Everyone panicked instantly.
No, they had never encountered bandits, but because everyone was a little bit expectant along the way, because of expectation, they were a little panicked when they met them.
Li Tieniu drew out the machete behind him.
Lin Dawang also stepped up the deployment of manpower for defense.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the number of people on the other side slowly.
They were really a large group of people.
This is an era where numbers can win, purely relying on numbers to crush.
The total number of people on the other side was two hundred.
"Everyone should know what to do, take action, don't panic."
Jiang Xiaoxiao shouted loudly, at this time.
Obviously, the usual discipline training played a huge role, and people's hearts gathered immediately because of this shout.
"One... two... three!"
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao's voice fell, everyone quickly took out a red cloth from their pockets and tied it directly on their arms.
The people pushing the carts seemed to have heard some kind of command, and quickly pushed the 18 carts together, forming a car formation in the middle.
Others ignored the carts, and three people formed a group and quickly dispersed around the carts, forming countless small groups.
"Brothers, we are a little short of money recently. You leave the salt. We won't hurt anyone. You leave quickly and safely. Otherwise, I will let you die here today."
A white-faced and black-bearded bandit rode arrogantly on a horse, pointing his whip at everyone.
The leader of these bandits actually had more than a dozen horses in his bandit group.
These horses were obviously the bandits' belongings, and of course a few large carts could be seen from a distance.
It seemed that they were also preparing to rob their transportation tools to directly load the salt onto the carts and transport it away.
Obviously, they were well prepared, and someone had already stepped on it.
Li Tieniu glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Don't even think about it. If you have the guts, just come over here. Otherwise, stop talking nonsense. Since you guys dare to eat this bowl of rice, you don't take this life seriously."
The white-faced black-bearded bandit was happy.
"Okay, you are also a man of integrity. Okay, then I will take your dog life today. This day next year will be your memorial day. Come on, brothers, let's eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. It all depends on this one. Charge!"
The big knife in his hand waved his legs and clamped the horse's belly. Immediately, more than a dozen horses in front rushed over, and more than a hundred bandits behind followed the horses and rushed directly to Li Tieniu, Lin Dawang and others, waving various weapons in their hands.
In their eyes, what these private salt dealers held in their hands were all silver, white silver.
The white-faced black-bearded bandit rushed to the front, and was suddenly stabbed in the horse's belly by three red tassel spears. He immediately lifted the horse and jumped up.
There are advantages to riding on a horse. Those who dare to rob on horseback naturally have a set of skills.
He dodged the three red tassel spears in front of him, and chopped the machete fiercely on the spear barrel that was stabbing at him.
He laughed loudly.
"With such a little skill, you dare to show off in front of me, you deserve to die."
The next moment, three red tassel spears directly knocked him off the horse.
Yes!
In just one stick of incense, the killing sound was so loud that the bandits around were frightened.
Seeing that all the bandits on more than a dozen horses were killed directly.
It didn't even take a cup of tea. They were killed directly in just one round. The horses had become ownerless horses. The other bandits had no way to avoid the elusive red tassel spears.
Seeing the brothers in front of them die in front of them and being pierced through by others, the others were already scared and turned around and ran.
Lin Dawang and Li Tiezhu couldn't stop killing people, and wanted to chase them directly.
They were stopped by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Don't chase after desperate enemies, beware of traps."
Although the two felt a little regretful, they still followed orders and came back to clean up the battlefield.
There were more than 50 people in the two villages, only 15 of them were slightly injured, and three were seriously injured, but not fatally. The three seriously injured people were injured by mistake because they forgot to cooperate with their teammates in a panic.
15 minor injuries, basically there is no problem with a little bandage.
After checking the casualties, Li Tiezhu and Lin Dawang from the two villages were instantly happy. This was probably the smoothest trip they had ever had to sell smuggled salt.
What's an injury?
As long as no one is killed, it is already a blessing. Every time you sell smuggled salt, you must not die a few people. The death of a few people is minor. The death of more than a dozen people is nothing. This time, no one died.
More than 200 bandits were driven away, especially Li Tiezhu, who was even more happy and had already brought all the horses and carts over.
Two horses were accidentally injured in the front legs by their red cherry guns, and it looked like they couldn't be used.
The remaining ten horses all have tails and tails. These are horses. There are not even cattle in their village, let alone horses.
There are also 12 very sturdy large cars.
Lin Dawang was so greedy that they won a great victory. Not only did they not suffer any losses, they also snatched horses and carts from the bandits.
What is this concept?
They switched from one shot to another in an instant.
"Master Lin. We fought well in this battle. Otherwise, if we divide the horse and the cart, we can take the salt directly back to the village. It will be much easier than pushing the wheelbarrow."
I was really greedy for these horses and carts, and of course I was embarrassed to say that I would share the spoils directly, but this also reminded Jiang Xiaoxiao that this was the result of the people from their Lin Village.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "Everyone quickly hitched the horses to the carts and transferred the salt. The remaining people took the wheelbarrows directly back to the salt field."
Li Tieniu and the others arranged some people and left a dozen or so people to send the wheelbarrow back. The other people hitched the carriages and drove the salt back to the village. During the rest of the way, because everyone's morale was high, some small-bone bandits looked at them. After seeing their condition, they didn't dare to come up.
They had never seen anyone who dared to drive a carriage to sell illegal salt.
Generally speaking, this kind of salt sales team has proven to have a strong background, so it is better not to offend them.
