"I said, don't leave, the price is negotiable..." A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman shouted to a leaving warrior from a distance.
"After visiting three inns, I finally found a caravan." Upon seeing this, Jun Yu couldn't help but said with joy. He hurried forward and walked past the middle-aged businessman pretending to be staying overnight.
"Hey, when can we get to Shicheng? When the guard heard that a lone bandit was intercepting and killing the caravan, he didn't agree to move forward. This delayed the delivery time, and he had to lose all his money over the years...
..." The middle-aged businessman muttered to himself with a helpless cry.
"Boy, we are passing warriors, give us two upper rooms!" Chen Hu called to the inside of the inn.
"Come on. Sir, I'm sorry, the inn has been full lately. Do you think we can find another place?" The waiter saw that they were two warriors and hurriedly apologized.
"What kind of thing is this? He's a lone bandit, and he even has no room in the inn!" Chen Hu said.
"Where are you two going?" the middle-aged businessman hurriedly ran over and asked with a happy face.
"We're going to Laoshan County. We've been going all the way and we were going to find a place to rest in Lujiao Town for a couple of days, but we couldn't even find an empty room. It's really unlucky." Chen Hu said with some annoyance.
"I still have a few upper rooms here. I can let my men squeeze in and make room for you two. What do you think?" said the middle-aged businessman.
"I'm so sorry, I'll give you some more money." Chen Hu pretended to pay.
"No, I'm lucky to get to know these two strong young men. When it comes to money, I don't care. Liu Zi, the people who live in your room should move to the next door to make room for these two strong young men.
"The middle-aged businessman said to a fourteen-year-old boy behind him.
"Boy, please!" The middle-aged businessman invited Jun Yu and the others upstairs.
"Boy, this room is not bad, so I'll make do with it for now." The middle-aged businessman let the two of them into a relatively clean room, and then stood beside it without leaving.
"Thank you very much. I wonder if you have anything else to do. The two of us have been traveling together for several days and are a little tired." Chen Hu said to the middle-aged businessman.
"You two are both understanding, so I won't keep it any longer. There have been incidents of lone bandits robbing caravans in the area of Lujiao Town. We have five caravan guards united here and there are still some
We are weak. We plan to hire enough guards and head towards Shicheng, which is the same direction as the two of you. I wonder if you two would like to join us. It would be safer to go on the road together." After saying that, the middle-aged businessman waited for Jun Yu and the two with some anxiety.
reply.
"Oh, we have heard some rumors when we came to Lujiao Town, but I don't know what the ability of this lone bandit is to stop so many caravans and warriors from moving forward. Can you explain it to me and me?" Jun Yu continued.
After talking, he asked.
"You two are asking about this. Everyone in Lujiao Town knows about this lone bandit..." The middle-aged businessman then recounted some of the deeds of the lone bandit, and his eloquence was better than that of the young man.
It's much better. Although there are slight discrepancies between the words, the description of the lone robber is basically the same.
"Well, my two brothers are good at joining forces. Although they don't want to provoke lone bandits, they are not afraid of them. When will you set off? If it takes too long, we can wait for you." Chen Hu said.
"Is that so, how many days are you two going to stay in Lujiao Town?" the middle-aged businessman asked.
"A maximum of three days, you can't stay too long." Chen Hu said simply.
"This is a bit hasty. I have to discuss it with several other caravans. How about you two taking a rest first?" said the middle-aged businessman.
"Please, please give me an answer as soon as possible." Chen Hu raised his hand, turned over and lay down on the bed, letting the middle-aged businessman leave alone.
"Jun Yu, do you think we can join this caravan? Can we encounter lone bandits?" Chen Hu suddenly asked Jun Yu.
"Do you have a better way?" Jun Yu asked.
"It seems that's the only way to go. It's really troublesome. It's better to accept the tasks you took. They are all about hunting spiritual beasts and collecting elixirs. How can my task be so tiring!" Chen Hu muttered, and then looked at it.
By the time Jun Yu started meditating and started practicing, he also calmed down and entered the state of practicing.
During dinner, the middle-aged businessman came outside the couple's room and knocked on the door softly.
"Tell me, how is the discussion? My two brothers are most afraid of trouble." Chen Hu opened the door and asked directly before the middle-aged businessman could enter the room.
"Haha, this strong man is really impatient. We have already discussed it. I also mentioned the cultivation level of the two of them to them. Just in case, they agreed to set off within five days. Please give me two thanks.
How about staying for two more days?" the middle-aged businessman said.
"Why are you taking so long? A lone bandit has stopped you all from moving forward. You have to keep waiting!" Chen Hu said impatiently.
"This strong man, you can't say that. Our merchants are weak in military force. We always keep all our belongings and heads in our belts. We may lose money and people at any time. There are dozens of people in a team, so we have to be cautious.
"The middle-aged businessman shook his head helplessly.
"Brother, what do you think?" Chen Hu asked Jun Yu.
"Given the speed of my two brothers, they were not in a hurry these past two days. I don't know how the reward will be settled. It is no problem for us two brothers to protect ourselves, but for a lone bandit with area-of-effect damage, it is very difficult to protect a group of people." Jun.
Is there any problem with Yu's face? Jun Yu should show no mercy when facing businessmen who are profiting from trade.
"I would like to ask you two for help. I, the Zhang Family Caravan, are asking you to help me. How about I give you two dragon golds every day?" the middle-aged businessman gritted his teeth and said.
"Two is a lot, but I don't know what the Zhang family's caravan is escorting. My two brothers don't want to risk their lives by not knowing anything about it!" Jun Yu asked with some skill.
"Please rest assured, these are just ordinary elixirs and spiritual animal materials, and nothing else valuable." The middle-aged man said calmly after hearing this.
"That's good. My two brothers can save your life in an emergency. If the robber alone is too fierce, the property being escorted cannot be guaranteed." Jun Yu asserted.
"That's... good, keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!" The middle-aged businessman was silent for a moment and agreed to Jun Yu.
In this way, the two of them stayed in this inn. Not only did they have meals paid for by the Zhang family's caravan, but they also got two pieces of dragon gold. For five days, the two of them usually went out to the inn to investigate the situation.
So I practiced in this inn room with the door closed.
Five days later, at the door of the inn, there were five caravans of different sizes, with a total of more than 100 people, including 80 warriors and four martial guards. Two hundred fine black and yellow horses pulled the goods and hurried to Lujiao Town.
Walking outside, it attracted a lot of comments from passers-by.
"These caravans are really brave. They dare to go out now." A very ordinary old civilian shook his head and said.
"You can't say that. Businessmen only see profits. If you delay for a day, you may go bankrupt. How can you not be in a hurry?" Passers-by talked about it with various voices.
Along the way, everyone was very nervous, and there was silence during the march. They were always alert to the movement around them. Only when they stopped to eat and rest did they hear some conversation, which made this team of more than a hundred people a little angry.
Five days later, they had already left Lujiao Town and traveled nearly ten thousand miles. When they were about to leave Tangsha County, Jun Yu, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly moved his ears and felt something strange behind him, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Jun Yu, who possesses the Way of Wind and the Style of Contacting the Wind Sword, is particularly sensitive to the wind in the air. Just now he clearly felt a smelly wind blowing from several miles behind him but could not hear it. Jun Yu understood it immediately, and then
The sleepy eyes suddenly opened and he gave a hint to Chen Hu next to him.
Chen Hu immediately understood what had happened. He still looked like he was lazily dozing. He closed his eyes and continued to move forward with the horse, but all the strength in his body was mobilized and he was always ready to deliver a fatal blow!
As expected, an hour later, it seemed that something had been discovered, and it seemed that the person following behind him was impatient. The fishy wind around him gradually became stronger. Even Chen Hu was aware of the fishy wind at this moment. He couldn't help but feel his whole body.
His strength reached its peak, and he secretly drove the horse toward the middle-aged businessman not far away.
Seeing the two people coming, the middle-aged businessman felt a little confused. He hired two martial arts masters at a large price, but found that they were almost outside the scope of Tangsha County and were still safe and sound. He was a little upset about the dragon gold. At the same time, he did not have a safe journey.
Moving forward without anything else, I felt a little excited.
Just as he was about to say hello to the two of them, there was a roar from behind, together with the sound of someone screaming. The middle-aged businessman was so frightened that he clamped his horse and rushed out of the protection range of the two.
Jun Yu looked back and did not see the legendary lone bandit. He only saw a purple-black smoke erupting from the caravan behind him. There were seven or eight warriors whose bodies were full of ulcers and weapons.
He didn't even bother to take it out, and desperately grabbed at the rotten parts of his body, grabbing out all the flesh and blood. His whole body was bloody and miserable, and he was wailing...
The horses behind also struggled to break free from the reins, and their festering bodies began to run around like crazy, neighing continuously...
"Protect Zhang's shopkeeper first!" Jun Yu ordered, then clamped his horse and chased forward.
"Since this lone bandit dares to take action in front of so many people, he has the means and will not leave halfway. The best way to arrest him after he shows up is!" Jun Yu understood clearly.
Just as the caravan was in panic, the sound of explosions also came from the front of the team, and the same purple-black smoke exploded, causing the warriors and horses in the caravan in front to mourn...
Gradually it became clear that the remaining warriors of the caravan were unable to escape alone and gradually divided into five small groups, quickly concentrating in the middle. Two other strong warriors jumped out, holding weapons and looking around with stern faces.
