Chapter 1111, Secret Observation

On the first night after the caravan departed from Yorkshire, the vice president of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of the entire team, organized everyone to set up camp.

Ren Xiaosu realized that these people were still quite organized in setting up camp, with the carriages forming a circle outside the camp, and even using suitcases against the carriages and horses.

In just a short while, those various carriages were like city walls erected on the periphery of the campground.

“Professional,” Ren Xiaosu exclaimed next to Mei Ge, “What does this vice president do, why is he so professional?”

In Ren Xiaosu’s opinion, once this kind of walled camp was formed, it would be very difficult for bandits and horse bandits to rush in, especially since Ren Xiaosu also saw that the Chamber of Commerce’s people were still armed with bows and arrows and crossbows, and in the commoner class with no hot weapons, fending off four or five times the number of enemies would be no problem at all.

“This vice president is a retired veteran, it seems that he used to have a low official rank in the royal army,” Mego explained, “Actually, he doesn’t know how to do business, the reason why the Chamber of Commerce gave him the position of vice president and offered him a very high salary is because they value his ability in this aspect of running a merchant, all of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce’s large merchant fleets are basically led by him.”

“So he is also not responsible for talking about business, is to bring the group of guards of the merchant fleet on it,” Ren Xiaosu nodded his head and said, “No wonder it doesn’t look like a businessman at all, a vice president of the chamber of commerce all day long carries a bow on his back, and his waist is also sat on a long knife, it looks strange. One thing is for sure, look at the carriages around here, the high carriages are staggered with the low carriages, and those merchant guards under him all look in high spirits, never relaxing in their guard duty, showing that this person is indeed a good hand in leading soldiers to war.”

“Lord Pro-Servant is overpraising.”

Just as Ren Xiaosu was praising this Vice President, a voice beside him suddenly smiled at Ren Xiaosu and thanked him.

Mei Ge turned around to look, and it was none other than the Chamber of Commerce’s Vice President Qian Weining standing right next to the two.

Ren Xiaosu curiously said, “Is there any danger on this road to Ghent City that requires such caution?”

“Isn’t Lord Affiliate a person from the Sorcerer Kingdom? How could you ask such a question?” Qian Weining smiled, “Just this northern road alone, there are about ten mountain ranges controlled by bandits, and this is still the number from four months ago, and there could be more now that four months have passed. I don’t know what’s going on, but suddenly there are more and more of them.”

“Does no one control it?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Those bandits one by one after a hundred battles, unless the sorcerer adults personally, or who can manage them, but the sorcerer adults …… haha, Mei Ge adults I am not talking about you, I know you, you are a good person,” Qian Weining said.

Now Ren Xiaosu understand, the wizard kingdom is now in collapse, coupled with a drought last year, resulting in all the people can not pay the full amount of taxes.

There were only two choices in front of them now, either they could occupy the mountains as king, never mind when they were besieged, but they could still live happily for a while anyway. Or, they could go to prison and be tortured.

Qian Weining said at this time, “But don’t worry, Lord Meigo, with you in charge of the merchant caravan, it will definitely be fine.”

Mei Ge smiled, “Well, if there really are bandits coming, I will step in.”

Ren Xiaosu said in his heart that this Sorcerer Kingdom really held the sorcerers up to the sky, and Meigo also completely looked as if he didn’t know how many pounds he weighed.

Mei Ge’s wind binding art and earth binding art, hold up to control four or five bandits, when the other side hundreds of people rushed up together, even if he is a sorcerer also have to be chopped to death by the chaotic sword ……

At this time, dozens of bonfires had been lit in the camp, and hundreds of people were gathered around their own bonfires, and some of the young people had even sung and danced.

The women carried their fluffy skirts and danced arm in arm with the men in a dance they had never seen before.

Qian Weining had people bring in prepared meals, and as Ren Xiaosu looked around while eating, he suddenly realized that the middle-aged woman he had seen during the day did not seem to have gotten off the wagon, and was still hiding in her own wagon.

He looked towards the carriage, the curtains of the carriage windows were pulled up by a thread, and it seemed that someone was quietly surveying him from behind the curtains.

When Ren Xiaosu looked, the other person hurriedly lowered the curtain.

Inside the car, the little witch lowered her voice and said, “Auntie, that kid seems to have found me.”

The woman said, “You secretly sized him up?”

“Well,” the little witch muttered, “I wanted to observe him for a while, but his gaze suddenly swept over, and I felt like I was being seen through.”

The woman thought about it and even directly pulled the curtains halfway open and smiled at Ren Xiaosu and beckoned, as if there was still the meaning of letting Ren Xiaosu get on the bus in there.

Immediately, Ren Xiaosu shifted her gaze ……

The woman said to the little witch, “This person is not simple, and right now we can’t be sure if he has begun to suspect us, so you should stop sneaking glances at him.”

“Oh,” replied the little witch anon.

In the dead of night, the sound of rushing hooves suddenly came from outside the walls of the wagon enclosure.

Many people woke up with a start, and before anyone could figure out what was going on, everyone heard a buzzing sound break from the sky, and then with a shriek, a feather-tailed arrow lodged in the middle of the camp!

Someone screamed, “Bandits! There are bandits!”

Qian Weining, who was resting, rolled up from the ground with a single bound and shouted at the merchant guards, “Follow me!”

The bandits were coming from the east, which happened to be where Ren Xiaosu and Mei Ge were located, only to see Qian Weining lead his men to quickly gather, using the carriage windows as arrows, and open their bows to shoot!

Mei Ge was in a bit of a hurry, although he was a sorcerer he hadn’t seen this kind of battle before, an arrow flew from the sky, and in the darkness of the night it was impossible to see the trail of the arrow at all.

Everyone searched for cover and hid, while Ren Xiaosu quickly shifted his position by pulling up Meigo.

During this period, Mei Ge was somewhat shocked to find that there were two times when the arrows flew, originally according to their trajectory of action they should have been hit by the arrows, but Ren Xiaosu brought him to dodge them seemingly unintentionally every time.

Although the action looks a bit wretched, but as long as the life is still there, wretched a little what?

Mei Ge did not know, at this time there is a carriage in the distance, there are people secretly from the window watching everything.

Although aunt explained not to sneak a peek, but when the bandits arrived the first time, An An still could not help but go to look for Ren Xiaosu’s position, wanting to see how the other party to deal with, perhaps this time of crisis and chaos can see the other party more details to.

Only, Ren Xiaosu let her down.

An An muttered, “How come the bandits know how to run when they come.”

Auntie skimmed her, “This is a smart person’s choice, if you want to encounter a rain of arrows in the future, remember to look for a hiding position first before saying anything.”
