"There are gunshots ahead, sir." A patrol of the Qin Army happened to pass by here. They heard intense gunfire, and a second-class soldier said nervously.

"En. I see." A leading lieutenant nodded and said.

"Everyone, take a break. I'll be heading over there in a while." The lieutenant said that he was let down. The cavalry was composed of thirty-two men, each equipped with three horses, and several camels carrying their supplies.

"But, sir, there are gunshots over there," the second-class soldier continued.

"Dismount and rest." The lieutenant ordered solemnly.

"Yes. Sir." The private nodded. After the second-class soldier dismounted. A corporal came over and said to him.

"It's not wrong to listen to the commander's orders. This place. Don't be so nervous." The corporal said indifferently. Then he found a shady place to eat. Some soldiers sat around and drank something together. It seemed that it should be wine. Private guessed.

Some cavalry left quietly. They were on alert, while the lieutenant sat in a shady corner by himself, listening to the intensive gunfire in the distance.

After a while, the gunfire slowly stopped.

"Get on the horse, hurry up," the lieutenant shouted loudly at this time. The other soldiers got on their horses quickly at this time, while the second-class soldiers were a little frantic.

"Hurry up," the lieutenant urged loudly.

The second-class soldiers mounted quickly, and some of his belongings did not have time to carry.

"Hurry up. If you're slow, you won't be able to keep up with anything." The lieutenant shouted loudly. Then he was the first to rush out. The soldiers behind followed frantically, they chased frantically as if they saw something good.

Private soldiers can only follow these people forward.

Soon, they came to the Gobi Desert. The privates saw that the ground was full of corpses, and these corpses were dressed in Western style.

"It's Chief Zuo." A cowboy with a long beard said with a smile.

"En. How is the business doing?" the lieutenant asked, riding on the horse.

"It's okay. These years. The business is doing pretty well." The cowboy said with a smile.

"En." The lieutenant said with a smile.

"I heard the gunshots around here are quite intensive. Is it because our caravan was robbed? Or those from the Western Regions." The lieutenant looked into the distance and said.

"I don't know what kind of attitude he was facing these Western Region merchants. Robbery, Qin Fa is a felony." The lieutenant looked at the distance and said.

"Look at what you said. Chief Zuo. We are all serious businessmen. These Westerners attacked us, and we are just defensive, just defensive." said the cowboy with a long beard. As the cowboy waved, one of the cowboys came forward with a bag of things. Tucked into the lieutenant's horse package.

"Really?" The lieutenant had already seen several empty boxes in the distance. I gave myself such a package when I saw it. The lieutenant seemed very dissatisfied.

"Yes. It's true." The cowboy continued with a smile.

"En. Or let me check it. Anyway, this is our patrol's business. If something bad happens, after all, we have to bear a lot of responsibility." The lieutenant said.

"No. No." The cowboy waved and said.

"Let's check it. The situation here is indeed the same. You know, these Western Region merchants can most conflict with us, if they don't handle it well. We can't bear the responsibility for even greater war." Lieutenant Lieutenant Speaking with a smile.

"No, no," said the cowboy with a wry smile to persuade the other party not to dismount. Then motioned to his subordinates to send something.

Without any choice. Two cowboys brought a box of things and delivered it. The corporal brought a soldier over to pack the box.

"En." The lieutenant nodded.

"That's right. The wind has tightened recently. Everyone is careful. I don't want a big mess up there. If there is a big mess, no one can bear it." The lieutenant said solemnly.

"That is. That is." said the cowboy.

"These people have taken care of it. Don't cause any trouble. At that time, you and I will be hard to deal with. These are things that can provoke war. If you know." The lieutenant lowered his body and said to the cowboy.

"I know you are brave. But, if the above knows that we do this. You and I. Both have this." The lieutenant made a shot.

"Okay. Brother, let's go. This is a self-defense incident." The lieutenant turned and left after speaking.

"Huh." The cowboy breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

After these Qin Army patrols left. The cowboy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fucking. These soldiers." A cowboy scolded angrily.

"Okay." The bearded cowboy said impatiently at this time.

"What we were doing was originally a non-profit business. It is also illegal to do so," Long Beard said.

"Something has happened. We can't afford it at all." Long Beard said.

"Hurry up. Get rid of these corpses. Let others know. We are going to lose our heads." Long Beard said.

The Qin Army Patrol Soldier. The soldiers are distributing their trophies. Countries in the Western Regions have a large number of gold wares. These gold tools became the soldiers' extra trophies and became an important income besides the soldiers' salary. Unfortunately, the Qin army did not continue to launch large-scale offensive operations. As a result, the soldiers' income was reduced a lot. So these officers and soldiers began to wonder how to increase their income.

During the patrol, they found some merchants, these merchants are doing nothing at all. They contacted the people of the Western Regions and agreed to sell their products from the Kingdom of Qin, including arms. The people of the Western Regions have a particularly large demand for munitions, which is the result of constant struggles during the process of moving westward across the Western Regions.

The purchase of arms is often a purchase at any cost. As a result, these Western Regions have a lot of money in their hands, and these money will naturally become the eyes of some illegal businessmen.

In the name of selling arms, they tricked the other side into buying arms. In fact, they have no arms at all. During the transaction, they ambush in advance, then lead the other party into the ambush circle, then launch an attack, kill the other party, and **** the other party's property. This is a kind of unprofitable business. The Qin Army officers and soldiers knew about this kind of unprofitable business. Some officers and soldiers did not expose this kind of thing, and they themselves did not have the power to enforce the law. In the absence of law enforcement powers, some other officers and soldiers engaged in such a costless business. They extorted each other's money under the pretext of discovering and reporting, and they divided the money between the two. In the end, it is not new that such things happen repeatedly at the border of Qin State.
