Luo Yingyan ran to Lu Xu and asked, "Sir, I just saw shopkeeper Liu leading someone to throw bags into the dense forest here. What does this mean?"
Lu Xu smiled and said: "Inside those bags is our reward this time!"
Luo Yingyan was stunned: "Sir, are you saying those bags are full of silver?!"
Lu Xu smiled and nodded. Luo Yingyan stood up quickly. Lu Xu grabbed him and said, "What do you want to do?"
Luo Yingyan said excitedly: "That's silver! How can you throw it on the ground?"
Lu Xu smiled and said: "In this wilderness, are you afraid that the monsters in the mountains will steal your money? Don't worry, as long as we make sure no one else comes, the money will be ours and there is no need for it.
Don’t worry, let’s focus on recuperation now.”
Luo Yingyan thought it made sense when he heard it. He couldn't carry so many bags by himself. In the end, he had to wait for everyone to recover and collect the reward together. In this case, he was not in a hurry.
But he was still a little strange: "Sir, why do you think Shopkeeper Liu threw the bag in the dense forest?"
Lu Xu said: "You are all craftsmen, so you can't do the work of a martial artist. You can't get paid by a martial artist, so he can't give us money openly."
"But, if they encounter bandits and their money is robbed by the bandits, then the money will be considered normal loss."
"If we defeat the bandits and get the money back, then it will also be our capture. Can't it be regarded as the reward given to us by shopkeeper Liu?"
Luo Yingyan was stunned for a long time, and then he said in disbelief: "Can it still be like this?!"
Lu Xu smiled: "What can't be done? Just watch. In order for us to hold this money with peace of mind, when we go back, he will ask his accountant to count the losses in front of us. This amount
He will definitely calculate the loss in front of us, so that even if someone wants to use this money to make an argument in the future, they will not be able to say anything."
In fact, this kind of trick is not new to Lu Xu. Lu Xu is a history buff, and he has seen many such tricks in history books.
Sometimes this trick is used by bandits to bribe the officers and soldiers, and sometimes it is used by the officers and soldiers to bribe the bandits. There are also situations like Lu Xu and Shopkeeper Liu.
So when Shopkeeper Liu asked them to chase the enemy for a while, Lu Xu immediately thought of this trick.
And from what Shopkeeper Liu said, he still needed a lot of time to pay the reward, so Lu Xu felt that Shopkeeper Liu was planning to bleed heavily.
Looking at it now, Lu Xu’s inference is absolutely correct!
Although this is nothing to Lu Xu, it is not the case to Luo Yingyan.
Today was an eye-opener for him. Before Lu Xu and Han Yidou, he felt that he was definitely a genius. Whether it was technology or worldliness, he was very sophisticated.
Later, Han Yidou appeared and slapped him in the face technically, letting him know that his technology was outdated. This time, he found that his sophistication in dealing with human affairs was nothing in front of Lu Xu. He
Not even close!
Now Luo Yingyan had completely let go of the pride in his heart. He was determined to correct his mentality and become a student and learn some real skills from Lu Xu.
After everyone was almost rested, Lu Xu took them to meet up with the caravan. On the way, they "picked up" many money bags. Although they contained some scattered silver, the silver in each bag was
There were about five taels, and each of them received two bags.
This amount of money may not be much to Shopkeeper Liu, but it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money to Luo Yingyan and the others.
In Daliang, martial arts masters are undoubtedly a high-income group among civilians. Generally speaking, a martial arts master with high martial arts skills earns about five taels per month.
Shopkeeper Liu took action this time and gave each of the children in Wei'anbao twelve taels. He paid the equivalent of two months' worth of hiring a martial artist.
There is no doubt that shopkeeper Liu gave too much this time!
Lu Xu can think of why Shopkeeper Liu did this? Because Shopkeeper Liu has seen how powerful Wei'an Fort is. If he can establish a good relationship with Wei'an Fort, it will undoubtedly be much safer for him to do business on Qinfeng Road in the future.
Not only that, Lu Xu felt that shopkeeper Liu might still have the idea of bribing these young people.
Everyone knows that Qin Feng Road will definitely be attacked by the Beiting people again in the future. Wei'an Fort is likely to be destroyed by the Beiting people again. If Lu Xu does not choose to lead these young people to die for the country, then they will eventually die in the future.
It is necessary to find a way out again.
Shopkeeper Liu may have the idea of waiting until then to include these "masters" in his caravan as bodyguards.
However, these have nothing to do with Lu Xu. He only knows that the work he took out with the big guys this time has made a lot of money.
After they returned to the caravan, Shopkeeper Liu's accountant loudly reported the caravan's losses to Shopkeeper Liu, just as Lu Xu expected.
Regarding the loss of silver coins, the accountant shouted three times repeatedly, intentionally or unintentionally. Luo Yingyan and Lu Xu looked at each other, and now he admired Lu Xu even more.
Lu Xu gave Luo Yingyan a wink, and Luo Yingyan understood. He came to Shopkeeper Liu and put on a satisfied look and said to Shopkeeper Liu: "If Shopkeeper Liu comes to our Qin Feng Road again in the future, if there are still some unscrupulous characters who dare to
If you cause trouble to Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Liu will come to us again. Brothers, if you don’t have any other abilities, it’s no problem to help you deal with a few blind thieves!”
This statement undoubtedly played into the hands of shopkeeper Liu. On the one hand, he lamented that it was really worth spending so much money to establish a relationship with Wei'anbao. On the other hand, he lamented that these people in Wei'anbao were all sincere.
People!
After that day, the relationship between the two parties became much more harmonious. Although they later encountered several groups of small bandits, in the face of Wei'an Fort's powerful force, those small bandits were unable to get close to the caravan.
And just when they were about to arrive at Qinzhou Mansion, Yu Yuanliang finally received the news that his men had failed in the battle.
He murmured with some pain: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a short time to use it. The spearmen who spent so much money on raising them are all gone?"
The servant in charge of leading the team quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "My boss, please forgive me. I have indeed tried my best."
Yu Yuanliang waved his hand: "I know, I can't blame you for this. Since all the spearmen died in the battle, it means that you really tried your best."
"You cannot defeat me not because you are not loyal enough, but because you are not strong enough."
Hearing that Yu Yuanliang didn't seem to blame himself, the servant breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yu Yuanliang began to care about another issue: "The man named Liu is not so well guarded. It seems that he is leaning against a big tree that can provide him with shade!"
