And more importantly, the number of people brought by Luo Yingyan this time was far lower than Shopkeeper Liu expected.
The reason why shopkeeper Liu wanted to come to Lu Xu for help was because he had also heard that Lu Xu had repelled Zhao Feiyi's attack not long ago.
According to official information, Shopkeeper Liu learned that Lu Xu had nearly a thousand troops available. He felt that he had said this time that he was transporting food to Qin Feng Road, and the caravan was still very large.
There are dozens of vehicles, and there are also many vehicles transporting other goods and people. How can such a scale not be worthy of Lu Xu's deployment of about a hundred troops?
But in reality? This time Luo Yingyan only brought less than fifty people.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Shopkeeper Liu is disappointed.
but!
After all, shopkeeper Liu was not a reckless person. He also knew that the Wei'anbao Militia had outstanding combat effectiveness, so even though Luo Yingyan and the others looked disappointing, he still greeted Luo Yingyan and the others with a smile.
Because Luo Yingyan and the others were all wearing armor, and in order to deal with emergencies, they did not dare to take off their armor on the road. In order to keep them strong, Luo Yingyan and Shopkeeper Liu arranged for everyone to disperse to various carts to rest.
.
Even if they were following the car, Lu Xu's friends were extremely excited. These people were going out for the first time, and they were "opening up territories" with force, which was simply fatal for young people.
magic.
Each of them felt that they had infinite strength and fighting spirit in their bodies, and they wished that one or two groups of bandits would pop out and let them kill them!
However, Lu Xu was very calm because he knew that, at least today, he would have no chance of meeting the bandits.
He had just defeated so many bandits, and the real bandits wished they could stay as far away from him as possible. How dare they appear near Wei'an Fort? Let alone attack such a large caravan near Wei'an Fort?
Isn’t that making yourself uncomfortable?
For those fake bandits who have masters behind them, their masters should also know how powerful Lu Xu is. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, they will not let their so-called bandits get too close to Wei'an Fort.
So even if they do encounter bandits, they must be far away from Wei'an Fort.
Lu Xu was sure that he would have a good day today, which was good news for him. It happened that he didn't sleep much last night. He fell asleep in the cart with peace of mind.
The fact was exactly as Lu Xu expected, the first day on the road was very safe.
Although neither Lu Xu nor anyone from Wei'an Fort took action this day, shopkeeper Liu still had a new understanding of Wei'an Fort's power.
Only those who have been along this road know how bad the public security is on Qinfeng Road today?
Qinfeng Road was the area most severely damaged by the Beiting people. Most of the production resources here were lost, and the grassroots ruling power of the imperial court was almost completely destroyed by the Beiting people.
All of this provides excellent soil for the breeding of bandits. It can even be said that for the people in some places on Qinfeng Road, becoming bandits is their only way to survive.
Under such circumstances, the caravan was able to go a whole day without being harassed by any bandits. Apart from the prestige of Wei'anbao and Lu Xu who suppressed the bandits, Shopkeeper Liu could not think of any other explanation!
This gave Shopkeeper Liu a little more confidence in his future trip.
On the first night, after the caravan set up camp, shopkeeper Liu took the initiative to approach Luo Yingyan and wanted to reward the brothers.
Luo Yingyan was still remembering Lu Xu's teachings. He had already thought about how he should refuse Shopkeeper Liu once he gave him money.
But he didn't want to! Shopkeeper Liu had no intention of giving Luo Yingyan any money. He just gave Luo Yingyan and the others a lot of good things.
Luo Yingyan and others were all born into craftsmen's households. They were hard-working children. In the feudal era, they lived a life of hardship.
Faced with the delicacies provided by shopkeeper Liu, how could these young men resist? Although they have not received the money yet, these young men are already very satisfied.
During the dinner, shopkeeper Liu made a request to Luo Yingyan and the others. When the wine was in full swing, he raised his glass and said loudly to the children in Wei'anbao: "I won't say much else. I only have one sentence."
!I, Old Liu, really suffered a lot from the bandits on this trip!"
"Now that I finally have all the heroes to protect me, I, Old Liu, really thought of this evil spirit! If bandits really come out, I hope all the heroes will help me chase them down. It's best to chase them for a few miles.
, so that they never dare to mess with us again!”
Everyone agreed with a bang! No one heard the deep meaning of these words. Only Lu Xu understood it. He thought to himself: "It seems that this shopkeeper Liu wants to bleed heavily!"
Thinking like this, Lu Xu ate the delicious food in his hands with peace of mind. Even Lu Xu relaxed, and naturally everyone else relaxed too.
Only Luo Yingyan still remembered to secretly ask Lu Xu: "Sir, is this shopkeeper Liu really not going to pay?"
Lu Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry, you will not be short of the benefits you deserve. Go back and tell your brothers that when you see the bandits, you will not show mercy and beat them to death! Just leave one or two alive."
, kill the others as fast as you can!"
"Shopkeeper Liu is going to bleed heavily this time, and we have to do our job better. But the only thing is, he said he wants us to hunt for a while longer. You don't have to really listen to him. We just need to beat the bandits then.
If we run away, we can temporarily break away from the caravan for a while, but don’t leave too far away. We just need to guard the caravan in the dark for a while and pretend to pursue it.”
Luo Yingyan heard this in confusion and had no idea what kind of riddle Lu Xu and Shopkeeper Liu were playing.
But he heard the implication of Lu Xu's words, that is, Lu Xu was sure that Shopkeeper Liu would give them a lot of benefits!
Now Luo Yingyan's motivation came back, and he immediately informed his brothers of the good news. Everyone's enthusiasm for work was thus aroused, and everyone's expectations for the bandits became even greater!
Early the next morning, before setting off, Lu Xu secretly reminded everyone through Luo Yingyan that bandits would attack the caravan today, so everyone should cheer up and do a good job!
With Lu Xu's reminder, those boys immediately became more vigilant. If their vigilance yesterday was more of a vent for excess energy, then today's vigilance is real vigilance.
Looking at the mental state of these young men, shopkeeper Liu was even more satisfied. His judgment was the same as Lu Xu's. He also felt that today was the best time for the bandits to attack the caravan.
Now the caravan is one day's journey from Wei'an Fort. Whether it is seeking help from Wei'an Fort or escaping from Wei'an Fort, this distance is too far.
The back road is too far, and the front road is also far away from the next place that can provide them with shelter. It is the most suitable place for killing and stealing!
In this dangerous situation, shopkeeper Liu was relieved to see these guys being so "professional".
Facts have proved that shopkeeper Liu and Lu Xu’s judgments were correct. Shortly after they set out on the road, the “bandits” really came!
