At dawn, the county was still peaceful and quiet, and there was some slight movement in the palace, and after grooming and dressing, some footsteps rushed in the same direction.

The figure of the Emperor of the Hades, standing in front of the palace gate and waiting, his subordinates appeared in front of him one after another, except for the Emperor of the Underworld, everyone was covered by robes, and a gust of cold wind blew, indicating that winter was coming.

The Hades Emperor swept his eyes, and his subordinates all arrived, "Ah~~~~~~" A long yawn sound, let the Hades Emperor look, Sean Biya gently rubbed her unawake eyelids, "This spirit... I walked with me all night before, and I didn't see you tired like this. ”

"Hey," Sean Biya put down her hand, "At home, I don't care how long I sleep, and if I don't sleep enough, I'm naturally sleepy." ”

"Okay, okay" The Emperor of the Underworld didn't have much time to stay, "Return to your Wanhan City, sleep as long as you like, follow me, you have to set off according to my time." ”

Sean Biya looked unhappy and looked at the Hades Emperor following behind her, and the others saw that the Hades seemed to be used to wearing a mask, and wore it on their faces almost all day long, and a group of their own people also put on the mask and followed the Hades Emperor's footsteps out of the county city.

······

The seasons always turn, and the breath of winter descends on the land, especially in the north.

Ertou Mountain, in the northern middle of the continent, the altitude is about two thousand meters, not high nor low, the mountain plants are green, there are monsters from time to time, but there are many low-level monsters, if you say that you live people, this Ertou Mountain is also more suitable.

Now in winter, the two mountains are covered with snow, and the lush vegetation is also covered with snow, and the previous greenery has been lost in winter.

Twenty miles away from Ertou Mountain, a city-state was established here.

Hetu City, about 60,000 people live here, farming, animal husbandry is the main industry here, the flow of slaves is not very much, its prosperity, among the city-states in the mainland, can be regarded as a medium level, the statues on both sides of the city gate, show that this is a city-state ruled by the human race.

An official road runs from Hetu Castle through Ertou Mountain and extends farther away.

In the snow, three continuous footprints appeared, and on the official road close to Ertou Mountain, two merchant travelers walked towards Ertou Mountain with a flat head.

After one of the caravans entered the official road of Ertou Mountain, he looked around, observing the movements around him, and his expression was a little nervous.

The other business traveler looked relaxed, and when he saw the other person's behavior, he felt funny, "Brother... What are you doing here? Looking left and right, looking so nervous, there is nothing to be afraid of, although there are monsters infested in this Ertou Mountain, but they are all low-level monsters, and it is winter now, I am afraid that the monsters have gone to spend the winter, how can they come out to hunt, you look at this white snow, there are no monster footprints, it will be fine. ”

The young merchant traveler looked around, along the way, there were indeed only the footprints of the two of them and the flat head, the woods next to the official road, in the winter without dense branches and leaves, the vision was almost clearly visible, there was indeed no trace of anything haunted, this heart also began to relax, looking at the older merchant traveler "Brother... What you say makes sense, but ah, I wasn't worried about monsters just now, I heard that Ertou Mountain has been here in recent months, but there has been a group of robbers, I heard that they have also built their own cottage in this mountain, whenever there is a business trip, they will come out to rob the property, I was worried about this just now, after all, we didn't have mercenaries, only the two of us, I am still a little worried in my heart. ”

"Haha..." The elder merchant said with a smile: "Brother don't be afraid, I have also heard of these robbers, but I have also heard that these robbers in Ertou Mountain are a group of waste, every time they pass by the merchant travelers here, they have not been robbed successfully, you say such robbers, what are we afraid of them doing? Don't worry, this news has spread a lot, these robbers are a waste thing, but it won't be fake, and the official road of Ertou Mountain is only ten miles away, and it will be safe when you get out of Ertou Mountain. ”

"Hey, hey..." Suddenly there was a laugh in the woods, which made the two businessmen shake violently, and their eyes looked at the place where the voice came from, "Who?" The older businessman also began to look a little nervous, although the news said that these robbers had not succeeded in robbing the businessman's property, but the young businessman was right, the two of them did not hire mercenaries to guard, if there were many people on the other side, the two of them would not be able to escape.

"Hahaha..." Behind a tree trunk came a young man, probably because of the hardships of life, but the clothes he wore in the winter were a little thin, and the only thing that made people feel warm was a piece of animal skin on his shoulders.

"Ah~ow~" The man sneezed, his nose was cold and a little purple, and after a shudder, he raised his sword and pointed at the two merchants, "I am the robber you said in your mouth, didn't you just say that we are waste? Come out for me. ”

With the man's shout, behind the trunks on both sides of the official road, the robbers who had been hiding for a long time walked out one by one, and the two merchants saw that there were more than a dozen of these robbers.

"Brother run" The young merchant pulled the rope around the flat head, urging his brother to flee for his life.

"Don't let them run," the previous man leader shouted, and the other robbers hurriedly chased after him.

Because they were not far away, the first few robbers had already caught up with the two caravans, and two of the robbers rushed to the front of the flat head and blocked "Don't want to run..."

The flat head made a baby-like sound, and with a slightly low head, it crashed into it with a huge body, and the two robbers were startled, and they were knocked out without hurrying to dodge.

"Stop them," the bandit leader roared, although his body bones didn't look a little strong, but his confidence was not weak.

Seeing the situation just now, several robbers were a little obedient, and they didn't stop Biantou, after all, their bodies couldn't resist Biantou's huge body, so they hurriedly caught up with the two businessmen, and the long sword pointed over, "Quickly let it stop, otherwise we're welcome." ”

Seeing that the robbers around him had been chasing, and the long sword was still on his shoulder, the elder merchant didn't dare to run any further, so he patted the panicked flat head with his hand and let the flat head relax, "Brother... Don't run, we can't run. ”

"I know brother" The young merchant also had a long sword around his neck, pulling the rope of the flat head, making the flat head stop.

"Hahaha..." The robber leader walked up happily, but as soon as he walked to the side of the merchant traveler, "Ah~ow~" a sneeze came out again.

"Big boss, you're so cold" A robber looked naïve and cared a little about the bandit leader.

"Zil..." The big boss rubbed the tip of his nose, "You're embarrassed to say me, don't you see if everyone is used to being cold?" The long sword suddenly pointed at the two businessmen and asked, "What's there?" Hurry up~ Take out the valuable things, otherwise we're welcome." ”

The older merchant really regretted that he didn't hire mercenaries, these robbers looked like some ordinary people, no wonder the robbers failed, if you hired a mercenary casually, there was no difficulty in facing these robbers, in the face of the robber leader, the older merchant showed a painful face, and begged: "Big brother robber... Our two brothers are just doing a small business, you see we don't have much goods, and we don't have much money on us, and the money is used to buy goods, and we are about to sell them? ”

"Less nonsense," the big boss gestured with his long sword again, "If I don't take it out, I'm going to search my body," and said with this plan.

The elder businessman's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly took out two gold coins from his bag, "Big Brother Robber... I'll give it to you, this... This..." Stretch out your hand to the big boss.

The big boss took the gold coin, his face was a little happy, "I've been a robber for so long, I finally grabbed the money, and you" followed and pointed to the young businessman.

"Big Brother Robber... Big Brother Bandit..." The elder merchant shouted, "He is my brother, and I am in charge of the money, and we have bought some clothes on this journey, and are about to ship them to the neighboring city-states to sell, but the money has been spent, and there are only 2 gold left for food and drink, and nothing else." ”

The big boss stared at the two of them for a while, seemed to believe the words of the elder business traveler, and put away his sword, "Okay..." I believe you, but you have to open it for me to see. ”

The elder business traveler's face regained a little, "Cheng, Cheng, I'll open it for you to see." ”

The big boss looked at these clothes, but they were all worn in winter, and they were all robbers, and they were all thin clothes in the winter. ”

"Hey~ya~" The older merchant had a headache, but he couldn't stop it, and it hurt to see that half of the clothes he was going to sell were directly robbed, but after seeing the robbers leave, his heart regained some calm, and he took off the hat he was wearing, and reached out and found a money bag in the hat, "These fools, fortunately, I was clever, and they only robbed them of 2 gold coins, and those clothes were cheaper for them." ”

"Hey, hey..." The young merchant also smiled: "Fortunately, my brother is prepared." ”

"Go" The older merchant hurriedly left the official road of Ertou Mountain with his flat head in tow.

A group of robbers also headed back towards their cottage.
