After hearing Liu Fulu's words, Lin Chen suddenly realized and sighed that time was so frightening that it was almost time to come.
Everyone continued to move forward while chatting.
Soon, they met a caravan walking in front.
"Shopkeeper, do you want to go with them?" asked a guy.
Liu Fulu hesitated for a moment.
From his perspective, the number of people in this caravan was as high as fifty, several times more than the number of people in their caravan! But judging from the depth of the traces of the opponent's wheels rolling into the soil, the goods transported by the opponent's people were obviously some heavy objects!
What are the heavy objects?
Weapons and iron tools? Gold, silver and jewelry? Porcelain names?
No matter what kind of thing the other party is carrying in his car, it is certain that it is definitely a huge fortune!
And such a caravan is more likely to become the target of bandits!
But the other party has a lot of people! If you add the dozens of people in your caravan, there will be a 70-year-old number!
Although there are not too many caravans with more than 70 people, they are also a number that cannot be underestimated! It is impossible for ordinary bandits to dare to make a decision!
On the contrary, if their caravan leaves by themselves, they want to safely cross the Yongzhou Pass with just over ten of their people, then there is still a considerable risk...
After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Fulu still said to the guy beside him: "Just keep this distance so that everyone can see each other."
They are just a group of tea sellers. Even if they really encounter bandits who come to rob the road, as long as they pay a toll, everyone will basically not have much trouble.
But the other party is different. The car marks that were deeply crushed into the soil were like a ray of fire in the dark night. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the group of people must be carrying some treasures on their cars!
After walking for several miles, everyone felt the stones under their feet tremble suddenly, and then they saw a series of rushing figures rushing towards this side!
There were dozens of people on the other side. Although the number was far less than that of Liu Fulu's Baolai Trading Company and the caravan not far away, they all rode war horses, with swords hanging on their waists, or had greedy eyes, or were vicious! The whole team rushed over, stirring up dust and smoke, and then scattered from both sides, like a cage, surrounding everyone!
"Oh no, it's actually a bandit!" Liu Fulu felt a chill when he saw the other party's situation!
"What is a horse bandit?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.
"The horse bandits are almost one of the largest bandits in Yongzhou!" Liu Fulu suppressed his panic and explained in a low voice: "Although they only have more than 40 people, they are all masters of martial arts! Their biggest feature is that they all ride a fast horse without shadows and go without a trace. When they are robbed, they are as fierce as thunder and as fast as lightning!"
More than forty horse bandits were divided into two waves, most of them surrounded the caravan on the other side, and the remaining seven or eight stared at Liu Fulu and others with bad expressions.
"Dear heroes... I am Liu Fulu, the shopkeeper of this Baolai Trading Company, who is doing some tea-selling business in Yueyang... Now I pass by the treasure land, want to borrow a story... I also ask all the heroes to be proud of... I don't respect you..." Liu Fulu stammered, even his words were not smooth. As he said, he signaled the guy to take out the small sack from the car beside him and handed it to the bandits who surrounded them.
If he encounters ordinary bandits, he may be able to pay some money to buy roads to ensure safety, but at this moment, Liu Fulu really has no clue about this group of horse bandits...
"Tea seller?"
One of them looked at several trucks from the Bora Trading Company. Horses are not good horses, and carts are not good cars. Even the shopkeeper Liu Fulu could only ride on a donkey cart, and it did not look like he was rich.
The man took the small sack handed over by the friend, held it in one hand, grasped the weight, and then kicked the guy in the face and kicked him to the ground, making the guy scream, covered his face and rolled on the ground several times in a row.
"Unfortunate, it's actually a group of poor people!" the man spat and said.
Originally, when they saw two caravans coming from afar, they agreed to divide them into two groups of people and grab their own. The benefits they got were not related to, but at this moment, the "travel fee" paid by Liu Fulu made the bandit very dissatisfied.
"Open the boxes and let me see!" The man rode his horse and came to a carriage and spoke.
"This..." The driver on the side looked at Liu Fulu hesitantly, and then he heard a "scream" sound, and the air suddenly exploded. A thick whip blew hard on the driver, making him scream and fall from the carriage.
"Open!" Liu Fulu shouted immediately.
Compared to the merchant team on the other side, it has already begun a fight with swords and shadows, what is the point of letting these horse bandits ruin some tea cakes at this moment?
Hearing Liu Fulu's shout, and under the intimidation of these horse bandits, two friends next to him immediately opened all the boxes in a carriage.
"It's really tea?"
The bandit casually stabbed the box with a knife, and found that the box contained a pile of tea cakes, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Open the other carriages!" he ordered.
Liu Fulu had no choice but to wave his hand and signal the guy to do what he wanted.
The boxes on the carriages behind were opened, and the bandits checked one by one, and many tea cakes were broken during the period, but unfortunately, there was indeed only tea leaves in the box and nothing else.
"Damn it!" One of the horse bandits was angry and slapped a friend next to him. However, due to the terror of the horse bandits, everyone just dared not speak out.
Lin Chen frowned slightly when he saw this scene. If Liu Fulu had not told everyone that he would deal with everything, Lin Chen would have taken action at this moment.
"Dear heroes, what we do is indeed just a small business. Can you please give us a good deal to make it easier..." Liu Fulu saw the bandits with an angry look and thought it was not good, but there was no way, so he had to bite the bullet and ask.
"Want to leave?"
The leader of the bandit looked cold. He really regretted being divided into two groups of people at this moment. He thought that this group of people would be a fat sheep, but who would have thought it would be a group of poor people!
His eyes looked to the other side.
Although the other caravan was stubbornly resisting, both sides had blood, both sides were already exposed, but more horse bandits had the upper hand. Once the caravan was swallowed, it would probably be a lot of money!
