    The grassland was vast and boundless, and suddenly a burst of singing came, vast and vigorous, but a caravan was slowly approaching. This caravan was huge, with hundreds of people, and was guarded by dozens of well-dressed warriors, mules and horses.  Hundreds of horses were piled with tea cakes, salt and other items that came to the grassland for trade.  "Shopkeeper Fan, this Fan family's flag is very useful. I think we have been hundreds of miles away from Zhangjiakou, and we have encountered dozens of horse bandits. As soon as these horse bandits saw the Fan family's flag, they fled in despair.  , What a pleasure!" A young boy in the cavalry said proudly.  "Little bastard, our old Fan family has come into contact with many heroes in the grassland. Who are these horse bandits? How dare they steal our goods." An old shopkeeper showed a proud look in his eyes.  Obviously he is proud to be the shopkeeper of the Fan family.  "Old shopkeeper, no wonder those people would rather hand over half of their profits and join our Fan family's business trip." The young man nodded towards the caravan behind him.  The Fan family is one of the richest people in Zhangjiakou, and I don¡¯t know how many items they handle. However, there are countless items in the world, and not one person in the Fan family can eat them. Moreover, the food looks too ugly, and it will also attract others to attack.  Therefore, the Eight Families also gave away some items to others. The grassland was so big and there were hundreds of princes. It was impossible for the Eight Families to control the entire grassland when doing business.  "Huhu!" At this time, a dark cloud rolled up in the distance. Old shopkeeper Fan's expression changed and he nodded to the strong man on the side. He saw the strong man pull out the long sword from his waist, and the warrior beside him also quickly drew out his weapon and pulled out his weapon.  Business travelers are protected.  As these people walked on the grassland, they naturally knew that the black smoke was not the herdsmen, but the horse bandits on horseback seeking a living.  However, they are not afraid of the horse bandits. Who knows that there is a huge force behind them!  A moment later, they saw the cavalry roaring towards them. Shopkeeper Fan looked over and saw that there were thousands of them, wearing leather armor and holding various weapons, including scimitars, long knives, and  Axes, spears, etc., this was no longer an army, but a group of horse bandits, but what they didn't expect was that this group of horse bandits actually numbered a thousand people.  Under a shabby wolf-head flag, a man wore a wolf-head mask on his face, looking at everyone with cold eyes.  "Leave the goods or die." The man's eyes were like lightning, he glanced at everyone coldly, and a few stiff Chinese characters came out of his mouth, like gold and stone.  Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper knew that the other party was not a Han, but a Mongolian from the steppe. Otherwise, the Chinese characters he spoke would not be so stiff.  "Who are you? You dare to block the way of our caravan? Do you want to die?" The leader of the warriors glanced at the horse bandits with disdain and said: "My master has contacts with the princes of the major tribes in the grassland, and he has contacts with the people here.  We have contacts with the Chahar and Tumote tribes. Are you trying to rob the goods of our Eight Families?" "The Eight Families?" The leader's eyes became colder, and he said calmly: "The Eight Families?  The family members stood aside, not the eight families. "Ah!" The expression of the businessman who came to the grassland from the eight families suddenly changed.  "Old Shopkeeper Fan, you can't leave us behind! We paid the money." Among the crowd, a middle-aged man said quickly: "Old Shopkeeper Fan, you also know my details. For this piece of goods, Xiao  I spent all my money to buy everything. If I get robbed by these horse bandits, what should I do?" When Old Shopkeeper Fan heard this, his face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, but soon he smiled again.  Before riding the horse, he raised his hands and said: "I don't know what to call this good man. If our eight families are short of food on weekdays, I am willing to give you ten taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and one hundred tea cakes. I wonder what the master thinks?"  "Ah!" At this moment, a sharp roar came, and the old shopkeeper was seen clutching his throat and looking at the opposite side with an unbelievable look.  Finally, he fell down from his horse. At this time, everyone saw that the old shopkeeper had a sharp arrow stuck in his throat, but he was shot to death by the other party's arrow.  "You killed the old shopkeeper. Ah!" Before the guard leader could react, he was shot to death by another arrow and thrown off his horse. He was already dead and could not die anymore.  "Ah! The horse bandit has killed someone! Run away quickly!" The businessman was panicked when he saw this. He immediately knew that at this time, the Fan family's flag was no longer useful. Who dared to stay here? He ran away without thinking.  .  Only the guards stood on their horses in fear.  The other party has a large number of people and the distance between the two sides is so close. There is no way to escape.  "Surrender, or die." The strong man at the head had a cold face and glanced at the many guards.  "I surrender, I surrender." The hundreds of guards dared not resist at this time. They all threw down their weapons, rolled off their saddles and dismounted, and stood aside obediently.    "Go, get your weapons, and stab each of these two men with a knife." I saw a cold-looking man walking out of the army with a long bow on his back.  "Jutu, this is a good idea." The man wearing the wolf mask nodded.  "They are all taught well by the master." The man called Jutu quickly said: "If these people don't stab, it will be a fake surrender. We still have to kill these people." "Ah, I'll do it.  Stab." These warriors did not expect that this group of horse bandits could be so treacherous. They took out weapons and stepped forward. In an instant, they saw that the old shopkeeper Fan and the warrior leader were stabbed hundreds of times. It was terrible to see.  "And you all must stab this guy." The wolf-head masked man glanced at everyone coldly and said, "If you don't stab him, you guys will lose your lives to me." "Ah.  ! I'll stab him." After everyone panicked, they saw the middle-aged man who had just spoken. He took out a knife and stabbed him without thinking. After stabbing him, he hid aside and vomited.  After having an example, the hundreds of people behind them also suppressed the discomfort in their hearts, and they all slashed wildly, and suddenly the corpse on the ground became unrecognizable.  "You are all lucky people, otherwise, you will also suffer such treatment after your death." The wolf-headed man looked at the hundreds of guards coldly and said.  "Thank you, Mr. Master." When everyone saw this, they felt frightened in their hearts. It doesn't matter if they die, but once they die, their bodies will still be ruined like this.  Obviously it cannot be tolerated.  "Do you know all these business travelers?" Lang Tou pointed at a guard and said.  ¡°If you go back to the big boss¡¯s house, you will all know these people, the little ones, etc.¡± The guard said quickly.  "Then let them write that on a certain day of a certain year and a certain day, at a certain place, they collaborated to kill the shopkeeper of the Fan family and robbed the Fan family's property." Langtou pointed to the hurried business traveler on the other side and said: "In this way,  How about you don't have to worry about your family being killed by the eight major families? " "Yes, yes, it's the wise master." After hearing this, the eyes of the hundreds of guards lit up, and they quickly followed the instructions of the wolf head and threatened these business travelers.  They wrote down a promise not to mention it.  "My lord, this method is really powerful." He suddenly heard the sentence on the side clearly and said to the wolf head with a smile.  Obviously this team is Li Xin who came from the Zhuo Suo Tu League.  "We will leave some of these servants of the Fan family with us later, and injure some of them. Let them go back and tell them that if one day horse bandits attack Zhangjiakou, let them burn Zhangjiakou at midnight and cause chaos.  . Once I conquer Zhangjiakou, everyone will get one thousand taels of silver." Li Xin thought for a while and said.  "My lord is going to attack Zhangjiakou?" Jutu's expression changed and he asked in surprise.  "Even if we don't attack now, we have to be prepared in the future." Li Xin said lazily: "Zhangjiakou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we don't get some internal support, how can we capture Zhangjiakou. Only Zhangjiakou is in chaos, we  Only then can we capture Zhangjiakou and teach the eight great families a lesson. "My lord, this move is too bold," Na Chutu said quickly.  "I won't fight a battle that I'm not sure about." Li Xin shook his head and said, "My troops and horses are still too few. At this time, we should destroy these horse bandits. Not only can we get troops and horses in a short time, but the most important thing is  Fortunately, when we unify the grasslands in the future, it will be much more convenient for us without these horse bandits. Although this family is still Lin Danhan's territory for a short time, it is mostly dominated by the Chahar and Tumote tribes.  The men and horses seemed to be obeying Lin Dan Khan's orders, but in fact they had an affair with Jian Nu. I believe that once these guys know that my army is coming, they will definitely try their best to intercept it, so I came alone and acted as a horse first.  If we don't attract the other side's attention, once I have enough troops, I will attack them in their hinterland. This is a good place! Such a no-nonsense area is just right for our development. As long as we control Zhangjiakou.  Exit, no matter how capable the Eight Families are, they still have to listen to us. I want to see how they collude with foreign countries. " "Lord, look, they're done." Jutu suddenly pointed out.  Said from a distance.  Li Xin looked around and saw worried expressions on the faces of the business travelers. He was obviously afraid that Li Xin would betray his trust and kill them all.  There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he rode forward and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms. At this time, Li Xin had obtained many treasures from Jiannu and the Ming Dynasty camp, and there was no such thing as this kind of banknotes.  How much.  "Purchase them according to the price of the goods, so that these business travelers will not lose everything. Of course, except for the Fan family. Let these people go back from other places! I believe that since these people haunt the grassland, they must??I found a place to go back to.  And I bought these mules and horses.  Send someone to the old camp, I will be useful in the future.  "Li Xin threw the banknote to Gou Tu. "My lord is so kind.  Jutu admired heartily. "Except for the Eight Families, although the rest of the people can sell some goods, most of them are normal transactions and do not sell contraband. But the Eight Families may sell information, pig iron, etc."  things.  The rest of the people are also ordinary business travelers and people who support their families. We cannot embarrass such people.  "Li Xin sneered at the corner of his mouth, glanced at the carts, and suddenly ran away. He came to a cart and opened the black cloth covering it, only to see hundreds of kilograms of pig iron appearing on the cart.  The people around him exclaimed in surprise.
