Chapter 172 The lonely thousand taels of gold!
Chapter 172: One thousand taels of gold alone?!
After the accident of the Izumo caravan, Brother Dao borrowed food from his friends from other caravans and took the caravan back to the Izumo country.
Along the way, the Izumo caravan had no intention of doing business. He did not go back and forth to and from the surrounding cities as usual, but rushed directly to the Izumo Capital.
If something big happened, Brother Dao dared not be negligent. He walked more and rested a little along the way, and returned to the capital of Izumo as quickly as possible to meet the king of Izumo.
On the fourth day, the Izumo caravan led by Brother Dao finally arrived at the Izumo Capital.
The usual return was different from the load. This time, the Izumo caravan was very embarrassed, ragged and unarmed (well, I was so licked). Many people looked sallow and their bodies were shaking, as if a gust of wind could blow them - this was obviously hungry!
Because of this, the carriage with the banner of the Izumo caravan was stopped by the soldiers guarding the capital of Izumo.
"Ye, where did the wild people come from? They dare to take the banner of our Izumo Caravan and deceive us. You are so brave."
After saying that, the commander of the defending city armored soldiers angrily led a group of armored soldiers and used sticks to drive out the people from the Yun Caravan team.
The people of Izumo Capital who were watching the fun were also angry, and they ridiculed these ignorant refugees one by one. Some naughty naughty children even used the mud group to greet these scammer refugees who had escaped from some country.
The people in the Izumo Caravan were confused. After experiencing life and death, they were full of longing, but finally returned home and could reunite with their relatives, have a bite of hot rice, and have a beautiful sleep.
But the rudeness of the villagers immediately woke up their dreams.
"Friends, we are really from the Izumo Caravan. Don't throw the mud ball. You can see clearly. It's me, Qiu Laoba!" A man wiped his dark face and shouted at the soldiers around him.
"Hey, it seems that it's really Qiu Laoba. This is really the Izumo caravan."
"Haotian is here, what have they encountered? Have they been robbed? Who has such a courage to rob the king's caravan?"
"Oh, look, it must be true. Not many people died and all the goods were gone. Isn't this obvious!"
......
For a moment, a considerable wave of waves arose in the capital of Izumo.
The Izumo caravan is not an ordinary caravan. Behind it is the king. This is a well-known secret. If the Izumo caravan is looted, it means that their king has been looted, which is not bad.
The literati and officials from Izumo Country were talking a lot, and they could feel a dark cloud covering their heads, which was a sign of war.
The Izumo Kingdom has a strong national strength. In the entire southern countries, except for the three overlords of Wu, Yue and Chu, the Izumo Kingdom is the most powerful. Especially in recent decades, the Izumo Kingdom has risen very quickly. Both the monarch and ordinary people are very confident and do not fear any enemies.
Under such circumstances, if someone dares to provoke Izumo Country, the entire Izumo Country will not agree!
The storm is coming, and the clouds are filled with wind.
As the party involved in this major incident, Dao Ge of the Izumo Caravan ignored the others at this time. Even if he entered the city, he did not come forward on the day he entered the city. After slipping into the city in shame, he rushed straight to the palace.
Brother Dao didn't care about the opinions of others. As long as the king of Izumo was satisfied with the news he brought, even if the Izumo caravan was almost ruined by him, he could make a comeback.
Not long after, in the outer courtyard of the palace, the palace manager Anbo met Brother Dao.
"Xiaodao, what's going on with you this time? Where did the goods go? And Master Liao?" Anbo, the manager, shouted sternly.
Brother Dao was mourning, and the scar on his face looked even more ferocious: "Master, let's go inquire about the news, but Master Liao was caught by King Xi, and the caravan behind him was also affected. The goods were confiscated by King Xi, and Master Liao was also detained."
Amber's originally calm face suddenly sank: "Bastard, what are you doing? Let you go and inquire about the news. You have been discovered by someone. I am foolish, foolish!"
Brother Dao held his face and did not dare to complain at all when facing the spitting stars. He said with grievance:
"Mainly, this is not a small person. I have already found out the news clearly. I thought I would come back early, but Master Liao still went to the mine to observe for a day, but the last time he was arrested and the caravan was exposed!"
The manager, Anbo ignored Brother Dao's shirks, but focused on the news and the mine, and then his face calmed down a little, saying:
"Mine? Have you really found out?"
Brother Dao understood that this was the key to his escape from crime, so he naturally dared not hide it: "Yes, Master Manager, Xidu does have a treasure mine in heaven and earth. This kind of strange mine is called steel. Its essence can be used to create a hundred-refined magic weapon. Even ordinary fragments can make the crunchy iron extremely hard..."
Amber suddenly interrupted him with a stern and said, "Since that's the case, come to the palace with me and report to the king in person."
Cirrus Palace.
King Izumo was a little anxious today, always feeling that something was wrong about to happen. He originally thought it was just a disturbance, but the report from the defender of the city made his whole heart sink.
The Izumo Caravan is his private property, and it was actually robbed. The caravan's mate turned into a refugee and fled all the way back. Isn't this a slap in the face?
It's really outrageous!
Izumo Kung-jun finally understood why he was in a state of uneasiness. There were several Izumo caravans, and each caravan carried no less than 500 taels of gold when they went out for a trip. Among them, the caravans heading to Xiguo even carried more than 1,000 taels of gold.
Although his family has a great fortune, his own wealth is not as much as he imagined. Five hundred taels is enough for him to feel distressed, let alone one thousand taels of gold.
This is Huang Cancan's gold, which belongs entirely to his private property, the king of Izumo, and was robbed. His anger can be imagined.
The king of Izumo sat quietly on the throne waiting for the caravan leader to come and apologize.
Yes, apologize. If Izumo hadn't wanted to know who had looted the Izumo caravan, he would have ordered all the criminals in this caravan to be executed or presented to Haotian as sacrifices!
Not long after, the manager Anbo brought Brother Dao to Jueyun Hall.
"The sinner Xiaodao pays homage to the king. This time I dereliction of duty and the entire caravan is destroyed. I deserve to die!"
When King Izumo saw the leader of the caravan, Brother Dao, he felt a sudden heart. The scar-faced knife was easy to identify, and King Izumo also had a profound influence on him.
Isn’t this the caravan that Xiguo is heading for business?
One thousand taels of gold alone!
The King of Izumo breathed a little heavy, and he was angry and captained: "Who robbed you!?"
