Chapter 3234: Elephants may not be able to trample ants to death

The two of them were sitting together drinking water and gossiping. Suddenly, on the small road ahead, there was a ring of copper bells. When they looked up, a group of men and horses came slowly toward this side.
Jin Yiwei reacted quickly, and immediately another group rushed forward to stop those people.
Nan Yan craned his neck and glanced, "Looks like an ordinary passing businessman, don't scare people."
Zhu Feng said: "Let's take a look."
So the two got up and walked over there slowly. Fang Buyuan was asking people to question the group of people. When the emperor and concubines came, they all knelt down, and that group of people were some merchants passing by. It was originally like a frightening bird, but now it was suddenly stopped by such a group of well-dressed guards, each of them was frightened, and they didn't know what to do.
Then, I heard these guards kneeling down and chanting "the emperor" and "niangniang".
The leading businessman knelt down with a plop.
"Emperor, Emperor, Emperor—"
He stammered for a long time and couldn't speak, cold sweat kept falling from his forehead, and Zhu Chengjun, who was watching the excitement, smiled and said, "It's the emperor!"
The business man seemed to have been through the two lines of Ren and Du, and he immediately kowtow to the ground: "The emperor!"
Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing too.
Nan Yan frowned, turned around and twisted Xiao Chengjun's mouth to signal him not to talk nonsense, and then followed Zhu Feng to sit on a dirt bag, and she stood behind Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng looked at this group of people. There were about ten or twenty of them. Five or six of them were well-dressed, and there were two high noses, deep eyes, and different blonde hair. At first glance, they were foreign merchants, and the remaining ten Individuals are in their thirties, strong and short-dressed burly men, obviously the people these businessmen hire to protect them along the way.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "You are in business?"
The leading businessman said shiveringly: "Back to the emperor, a few of us, and two of them, we are all in business."
"what's your name?"
"The villain's surname is Hou, but his name is Qibao."
Hearing this name, Zhu Feng smiled, but it was an interesting name.
He asked again: "What kind of business?"
"Little man, the little man is in the silk business. The two of them are in the pepper business, and they, their family sells porcelain..."
After listening to his introduction, Zhu Feng realized that this is a caravan of several families united together, each has its own business, so they don’t grab business from each other, and the two foreign businessmen interacted with them after they arrived in the Western Regions. Get acquainted. These two people not only admire the culture of the Central Plains, but are also very interested in the business of the Central Plains, so they want to follow along to see if it is profitable.
Zhu Feng smiled and looked back at Nan Yan, who also nodded with a smile.
What Zhu Feng wanted is this result.
Not only must the Great Yan Dynasty communicate with other Western countries, but also the treasures of the world must be gathered in the Central Plains. More importantly, the prestige, culture and education of the Great Yan Dynasty must spread far and wide.
Nan Yan looked up at their team again, and said with a smile: "However, you are still on the road with this kind of people, right? By the way, you don't bring much stuff."
The expressions of the people who were kneeling on the ground changed as soon as this was said.
Zhu Feng also felt that something was wrong, and frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
Fang Buyuan on the side said immediately: "If the emperor asks you, please say it quickly. If you dare to lie, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor and you must beheaded!"
The Hou Qibao immediately kowtow and said: "The emperor forgive me, we dare not deceive. The villain waited to meet the gangster on the road, and many people died, and even the things were robbed. The villain escaped his life. ."
"what?!"
When Zhu Feng heard this, his brows wrinkled.
He immediately asked clearly. It turned out that these people had more than 30 people when they entered the customs, of which nearly 20 guards, but before entering the Yumen Pass, they encountered a group of cavalry from the East Chahe, and the guards fought desperately. Nearly half of the people died before they escaped, but the goods they brought were generally taken away, and half of them were scattered. They came back almost empty-handed this trip.
No wonder, when I first saw them, I was like a frightened bird.
Nan Yan frowned and said, "The emperor has set up the Kansai Seven Guards in the northwest. Is there no way at all?"
Na Hou Qibao said with a mournful face: "After we escaped, we also went to Han Dongwei. The adults there immediately sent troops, but the people from the Dongchahe Department ran away long ago and couldn't catch up. Later, the adults gave it. We got some water and food to keep us on our way, but everything was lost."
With that, I was so wronged that I cried.
Several businessmen behind also cried.
You know, it’s not easy for these businessmen to make a trip to the Western Regions. Even some of their wealthy families are simply spending their wealth on the trip to make a fortune. Now that they are robbed on the road, everything is completely empty, and it is almost Even if you lose your life, is there anyone who is not wronged?
Zhu Feng frowned, was silent for a while, and said, "Take them down and give them a little entanglement."
Fang Buyuan said: "Yes."
After speaking, they greeted Hou Qibao and the others. As they walked, Hou Qibao and the others saluted Zhu Feng Nanyan repeatedly. When they were gone, Zhu Feng turned his head to look at Nan Yan, his expression gloomy and silent.
Nan Yan knew that he must be on fire.
Originally, he set up the Kansai Seven Guards back then and spent such a large amount of manpower to ensure the safety of the merchants after he opened up the road to the west. He previously suppressed the sand bandits in the Red Moon Bay, regained the White Dragon City, and even the soldiers and horses of the country. He was beaten back, but now, he was so annoyed by a small cavalry that he was not angry.
But sometimes, reality is so funny and cruel.
Elephants may not be able to trample ants to death.
This troop of men and horses is running around on the Northwest Wasteland. It is hard to prevent, and it is indeed a headache.
Nan Yan didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only ask Wen Bieyu to take Cheng Jun to play, don't make a noise and Zhu Feng annoyed him, she stretched out her hand and gently wiped Zhu Feng's back to help him smooth. Qi, he saw Fang Buyuan taking Hou Qibao and the others down on the other side. Not only did he give them a little entanglement, but also saw that their water and food were almost consumed, and he also gave them some dry food and water.
Nan Yan frowned slightly: "Huh?"
Zhu Feng looked up at her: "What's the matter?"
Nan Yan thought for a while and said softly: "These people come from the Western Regions. They must first prepare enough dry food and water on the way, but after being looted by those people, they have to go to Handongwei to make up."
Zhu Feng said: "Yeah."
Nanyan Road: "Then, the people from the East Chaga Department, where do they go to make up forage and water?"
