Chapter 80: Departure, Cliff City
Cliff City, located in the southwest of Yunze, is said to be a city, but it is actually a small town, but this town is built on a cliff.
There is a legend about this cliff that it was not formed naturally in the first place.
Many years ago, several of the strongest Battle Qi Grandmasters on the continent faced off, and at that time, several vigorous battle qi overflowed, and the boundless battle qi blasted half of the mountain to pieces.
But on the other side of the mountain, there were a few residents living in it, and seeing that the surging battle qi was about to affect the entire mountain, at this time, a powerful person who was above the battle qi master suddenly appeared, and with the supreme battle qi and supreme battle skill, he forcibly split the entire mountain in half, so that the other half of the mountain was safe and sound.
The Mighty One displayed a means that frightened all the Grandmasters present and prevented a catastrophe.
And after that, the other half of the mountain that was scattered by the grandmaster-level powerhouse gradually disappeared under the erosion of flowing water and wind, so only this half of the mountain cliff remained.
Han Ming and his party were on the way from Yunze to the cliff.
Along the way, Han Ming had nothing to do chatting with Ye Die, arguing with Kuang Yue, looking at the surrounding scenery, and asking the vegetable farmers on the roadside, he felt that he was still very comfortable coming over this time.
Although he didn't do anything serious, he was also familiar with most of Zhongchu's situation, and judging from the news he heard, Zhongchu now has a big hidden problem.
Just as a few people were hurrying slowly, they suddenly moved a few times on the narrow path ahead.
Han Ming's keen observation had already noticed this movement, but he didn't say anything.
"Phew. ”
When a few people approached, more than a dozen bandits suddenly emerged from the grass.
"A few of you, leave the passage money, otherwise don't blame grandpa's knife for not being long-sighted. The little flat head of one or five big and three thick shouted at everyone.
Before the words of these bandits were finished, Han Ming stretched out his hand and made a swinging gesture in the direction of the bandits.
When the thieves saw that Han Ming was so arrogant, they immediately became angry, and without saying a word, they slashed over with a big knife.
As soon as Ye Die and Kuang Yue saw this, they were ready to do it.
Especially Kuang Yue, her hands were trembling with excitement, and she didn't know that she thought she was afraid. These days, she is almost tired of traveling all the way, and finally has the time and opportunity to show her skills, how can she not be excited.
"Eh, big brothers, big brothers, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. ”
Just as the bandits were about to make a move, Han Ming immediately dismounted, ran up and spoke.
But the thief paid no attention to him, and came up with his sword to slash him.
As soon as Han Ming saw this situation, he immediately pulled out his sword from his horse and put it on his neck in front of the bandits.
His bizarre move not only made the thieves clean, but also scared Ye Die and Kuang Yue, they didn't know what Han Ming was crazy to do, these thieves didn't need to talk about Han Ming, even if they were any one of them, they could deal with it casually.
However, Han Ming's action did have an effect, and the thieves were all stunned.
The first time they saw the robbery, the other party put the weapon around his neck, and he was inexplicable, wanting to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Seeing that everyone stopped, Han Ming put the sword back, and said slowly to the bandits: "Big brothers, big brothers, it was all a misunderstanding just now, I just scratched my head, and I didn't mean anything else." Don't you big brothers want money? I have it. ”
As he spoke, he took out dozens of taels of silver from his pocket.
Seeing Han Ming's behavior, a small flat head led by him walked over arrogantly, picked up the silver casually, turned it upside down, and said with a smile: "Hey, you kid is quite interesting, but this bit of silver can't buy the lives of the three of you." ”
Kuang Yue and the others who were sitting on the horse completely ignored the bandit's words, as long as Han Ming spoke, this group of people didn't want to stand well.
Han Ming pretended to have a grinning expression.
"I understand, I understand, this big brother, in fact, I have a deal here, and I have always wanted to find someone to help, I think you big brother is so brave, it is the best candidate. ”
This little flat-headed thief listened to Han Ming's words and was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, brother has a big business?"
"If this deal is done, then I guarantee that my brother will earn this amount. After speaking, Han Ming stretched out five fingers.
"Five hundred taels?" the little flat-headed bandit's eyes lit up.
"Anthracene, it's not. Han Ming shook his head.
"Five...... Five thousand taels?" the little flat-headed bandit looked surprised.
Han Ming stretched out his palm again and shouted, "Fifty thousand taels, gold." ”
"Five...... Five...... Five......" Xiao Pingtou was already so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Yes, that's right, fifty thousand taels of gold. Han Ming helped Xiao Pingtou say it.
Xiao Pingtou confirmed that it was 50,000 taels, and immediately changed his face and put the knife away.
"Hey, big brother, you mean it. Xiao Pingtou couldn't believe it, after all, 50,000 taels of gold, this was not a small amount, but he couldn't believe it in his dreams.
"Well, of course. Han Ming nodded confidently.
Hearing this, Xiao Pingtou rubbed his hands.
"Then big brother, I don't know how this deal was done?"
Han Ming pretended to be mysterious and said, "With such a large sum of money, you can't be the master, I have to see your big boss and discuss with him." ”
When Xiao Pingtou heard this, he was a little suspicious, afraid that Han Ming was deceiving him.
"What's the matter? I'm not happy, then forget it, I'll just find a family to do it. After that, he made a gesture to leave.
When Xiao Pingtou heard that Han Ming was going to change his mind, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Willing, willing." Come this way, I'll lead you in the way. A few of you, go, escort these nobles back to the mountain. ”
Along the way, Xiao Pingtou was complimenting Han Ming, and he kept asking what Han Ming was talking about. However, Han Ming is simply comfortable dealing with such a little thief, and if he wants to put something out of his mouth, it will be a fool's dream.
However, Ye Die and Kuang Yue were a little confused about Han Ming's series of operations, and they didn't know what the purpose of his move was, if they went to the bandit's lair, they didn't dare to guarantee that they would come out safe and sound, but they also knew that Han Ming was not stupid, and there must be his intentions in doing so.
After entering the mountain, turning east and west on the mountain road, and walking for almost an hour, a group of people walked to the door of the cottage.
"Yo, little flathead, yes, I didn't work in vain today. ”
The people in the cottage saw that it was Xiao Pingtou who came back, so they began to make fun of him.
Xiao Pingtou didn't bother to pay attention to them, and ordered the rest of the thieves to "take care" of Han Ming, and hurriedly ran in to inform the big boss.
Han Ming carefully looked at the surrounding situation at the door, the cottage was called Brokeback Cottage, this name was not a good name in Han Ming's previous world, but no one knew what special meaning it had here.
The whole cottage is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the intersection of this side of the village is narrow, if the army comes to suppress the bandits, it can not take advantage, it is indeed an easy to defend and difficult to attack the place, and the geographical environment of Huotou Mountain is almost the same.
It seems that these bandits are quite good at picking the ground.
It didn't take long for the little flat head to come out, and as soon as he came out, he said to Han Ming respectfully: "Sir, the big boss is invited." ”
Han Ming looked like an imposing man, and as soon as he raised his hand, he stepped into the cottage.
The big boss of the cottage was a rugged man, and as soon as he saw Han Ming, he went over to give him a big hug, as if he was not holding Han Ming, but 50,000 taels of gold.
Then, the head of the cottage was not long-winded, and asked straight to the point.
"What is the matter with the 50,000 taels of gold that my brother said?"
"Tomorrow at noon, there will be a wagon of horses and carts carrying fifty thousand taels of gold. Usually this rich man doesn't show up, so others don't know. But it just so happens that I know that as long as you catch it this time, the 50,000 taels will be yours. Han Ming explained to the big boss.
"Brother, is this true?"
"It's true. ”
"Smack!" the thief slapped his thigh, "Okay, I'll arrange it now, and I'll do it tomorrow at noon." ”
"As long as the big boss does this, when the time comes, with the brokeback cottage high city and deep city, it will not be a problem to hide for three or five years, and when the wind is weak, the master will not still make trouble. Han Ming said with a smile.
"Haha, hide? I'm hiding from him, and I still need to hide with Lao Tzu's relationship. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Han Ming's eyes became more different.
This big boss looked like a rough man, and when he thought that there were 50,000 taels of gold, he didn't pay much attention to it, and ordered someone to arrange Han Ming, so he happily went to arrange it, preparing to transport the 50,000 taels of gold back to the cottage.
Seeing that the big boss of the bandit came out so happily, Kuang Yue hurriedly asked Han Ming, "Brother Han, what did you say to him, why is he so happy?"
Han Ming smiled, "I told him that tomorrow at noon, a batch of gold will pass by here, and it is a wealthy businessman, and no one knows about it." Because this wealthy merchant has a grudge against me, I told them the news. ”
"But Childe, how do you know that there will be a wealthy merchant passing by tomorrow afternoon?" Ye Die asked with a wink.
Han Ming spread his hands, "I don't know." ”
"You don't know, then tell the bandits, I'll see how you explain tomorrow. You should have dealt with these thieves just now, but you have to come to this bandits' den, if they can't wait for someone tomorrow at noon, I'll see how you clean it up. ”
Han Ming shrugged, "That also depends on whether they can wait until tomorrow." ”
