As snow and moonlight fall on the whole canyon, the broken and depressed canyon is illuminated in every detail.
The south exit of Duodan Town is still busy at the moment.
A caravan of trucks lined up for inspection.
The Dodan town security team is in charge of this. These trucks need tax returns to drive the carriage out of Dodan town.
Four justices in light leather with Roman swords around their waists, each holding a lantern in his hand, checked the trucks one by one.
With the establishment of a complete tax system in Duodan Town, they are usually more responsible for this. Although things are a little more, these security guards in the town are complaining that they have to arrange shifts to guard the south exit of the town every day.
The reason is that there is a little gray income.
They dare not accept bribes and put vehicles without tax bills in the past, but some private companies can occasionally bring them a little money for drinks.
Some businessmen like to scratch the edge. They will report the four-wheeled trucks full of goods to the customs and return to the freight yard to load as many of them as possible, so they will not pay taxes.
Businessmen have been familiar with this routine recently, and the security team is not so strict
Moreover, many businessmen like to leave Duodan Town at night, and they also want to hide their guilty faces through the dim light at night.
……
A motorcade quietly stopped behind the grass slope in the night.
Not far away is the rolling waters of the Dodan River, which can almost be clearly heard. The coachmen are guiltily curled up. It’s not too cold at night, but these coachmen are each wrapped in a blanket.
Several attendants quietly jumped into the carriage, and a leader waved his hand. Several people quickly bypassed the grass slope and came to the south bank of the Duodan River during the night.
If you want to cross this river, you can enter the slum of the original inhabitants of Duodan Town.
The strip land on the Hebei coast has been leveled out, leaving a broken workshop of cooked skins isolated. The leather racks in the yard are almost full of cooked skins, and these skins are piled up like tall haystacks in the yard.
The chief quietly ran to the river and looked cautiously to both sides. He is very familiar with this place.
There was a companion on each side hundreds of meters away. They made a sign to the leader that everything was all right, and the leader waved to the other side of the river.
The gate of the ripe leather workshop was quickly pushed, and several shop guys carried out bundles of skins from it. They quickly ran to the river and threw a string tied with a stone across the river.
The leader across the river bank pulled the rope in his hand and felt that there was no problem.
Then someone on the other side carried out an inflated sheepskin raft from the cooked leather workshop to skillfully tie two ropes to both ends of the raft.
When they put bundles of leather on the raft, the leader opposite will take people to pull this rope and drag the sheepskin raft down to the south shore.
The width of the Duodan River is only more than ten meters, and the leather sheepskin raft soon reached the other side of the river.
The leader hurriedly called the attendants to carry the leather to the back of the grass slope and load it into the wagon …
The raft was dragged back by the other side, and it was necessary to continue to transport the skin. Everything was completed in a hurry, and everyone was very skilled in moving it. Obviously, this is not the first time to do this.
It took more than ten consecutive round trips to fill seven wagons with leather goods.
But when the leader pulled the last raft, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle in the silent night, and the whole slum suddenly boiled.
In the distance, the horseshoe rumbles from far to near, almost instantly.
The receiving leader was so scared that he almost stumbled into the river, and then he did not hesitate to lose his rope and take several attendants who had been in tourist trap to flee to the grassy slope.
As he ran, he said, "They can’t cross the river. If we hurry, we can get away …"
Hearing the leader say this, the footwork of several attendants immediately accelerated a few minutes, and a group of people almost ran back to the team.
The coachmen raised their whips and let the wagons drive slowly, waiting for those people to run to the carriage and springboard the car quickly by running speed.
But the horseshoe behind them didn’t stop because of this, so the coachman flew in the distance, and at the same time a group of cavalry rode Gubolai horse and directly crossed the Dodan River.
Splash up, spray like snow, moonlight is especially crystal clear and pure.
The war horse is not covered with thick hard armor, and a leg magic pattern reveals a dim light in the night.
These war horses have reached the extreme speed and crossed the Duodan River more than ten meters wide in a few steps. They rushed to the grass slope and saw the four-wheeled trucks running wildly south at a glance.
The war horse screams and goes far away at night, and then these cavalry in black armor are like shadows in the dark night, heading for the truck …
Chased the team in an instant.
All the cavalry are armed with discerning knight swords. They don’t have horses. They go around to the front of the motorcade and raise their swords.
The front truck root didn’t want to stop, and the coachman urged it to rush past the cavalry.
"kill!"
The cavalry shouted out almost at the same time.
Looking at the oncoming carriage, the cavalry ruthlessly cut the knight’s sword in his hand, and the moonlight became very clear, and the sword accurately cut the horse’s head.
A splash of blood splashed the coachman’s face.
The coachman felt that the horse in front of him was suddenly short and fell down. The grass was full of goods. The carriage continued to rush forward through inertia and severely ran over Gubo’s horse.
Wheel pressing on horse body
The whole car body was raised high and overturned the grass.
The coachman was crushed, and one leg of the carriage was pinned down by the shaft.
Seeing this scene, the carriage behind never dared to rush to the front and pulled the reins to slow down the carriage and stop it in front of these cavalry with a white and bloodless complexion.
The cavalry still quietly surrounded the motorcade without horses.
A coachman secretly reins a Gubolai horse and turns it over quickly. He is going to ride to the back of the horse while the cavalry are not paying attention to it. The whip is violently whipped, and Gubolai horse rushes out like a left arrow.
The horse rushed out more than ten meters in a few seconds.
And the cavalry didn’t have any ideas to chase, and they didn’t even look at them.
As soon as he rushed out more than 30 meters later, a sharp arrow with flashing light cut through the dark’ scratching’ arc and instantly chased the fleeing coachman. The arrow came out from behind the coachman and instantly sank into the back of Gubo Laima again.
Even the man and the horse fell to the grass at the same time, and the body rolled a few meters away before stopping, and the blood kept pouring out.
The coachman convulsed for a long time before gradually calming down.
The leader of the team didn’t expect these cavalry to shoot anyone who dared to run without even saying anything, which scared his crotch to be hot and a hot stream of heat flowed out along his trouser legs.
At this moment, everyone in the team knows that the choice between life and death is just their own thoughts.
Everybody crouch down and try to hide your shivering bodies …
It was not until the tax collector Batra and the small town security team came from the grass that these coachmen and attendants crawled over like relatives and hugged the tax collector Batra’s thigh and cried.
Sadness, regret, and fear welled up.
The Batra tax collector was also regarded as stolen goods and was arrested for this group of smuggled leather traders back to Duodan Town.
