The chili sprouts were growing quite well in the fields. Cheng Dalei was originally worried that it might be too hot, so he even built up some shading using branches, bark, and straw to keep the sun off of the sprouts. From the looks of things, his efforts did no go to waste. The sprouts made a healthy and shining patch of green, and should be ready for harvest in another month or two.
Cheng Dalei felt a strange sense of accomplishment. Then he remembered the conversation he was having with Huang Sanyuan, “What information do you have on it?”
“The squad for escorting the gift caravan will be passing below the Blackbull Mountains in a bit over ten days. Based on the information that the other camps have gathered, this time, Xue Banzhou should be dispatching Lu Heng to lead the escort.”
“Lu Heng? How much do you know about him?” Cheng Dalei knew that Huang Sanyuan was originally from Blackstone City, so he had a far better understanding of the personnel inside Blackstone than anyone else.
“Lu Heng. About 30 years old this year. Preferred weapon is a staff. He’s an orphan, and Xue Banzhou basically raised him. This person have no parent, no family, and recognized no one else besides Xue Banzhou. He’s someone strong.” Huang Sanyuan said.
“Of course he’s strong. Xue Banzhou wouldn’t be sending him on this mission if he wasn’t.” Cheng Dalei spoke as he looked at the chili sprouts before him, “How do the other camps plan on doing the robbery?”
“Basically by a night raid, poisoning, or setting ambushes on the road.” Huang Sanyuan spoke, “Basically, each have their own plans for going about it. Boss, are we really not going to join in?”
Cheng Dalei thought it over before letting out a long sigh, “They’re a pack of dogs fighting over a bone. With just what our Toad Bandits have, even if we want to throw our hat into the ring, we have to have the people to fight with first.”
