Chapter 123: The Relationship Between Gangs and Bandits

"Hall Master, we've found the location of that bandit group. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The endless mountains, where I don't know how long old trees grow, cover the sky and the sun.

In the mountains, from time to time, a few beast roars drifted for a long time. For the wild beasts, the mountains and forests will always be their paradise. There are no other laws here, and the law of the jungle is staged here to the extreme.

At this time, a few figures were walking casually in this mountain forest.

"Are you sure that the bandits' den is really here?"

Luffy raised his head and looked at the dead mountains and forests around him, and couldn't help but frown. Turning around to see Hu Yutang's determined face beside him, Luffy couldn't help but shudder.

How can they endure such a gloomy and damp place?

These robbers are so cruel to themselves! Aren't you afraid that some powerful desolate beast will come out for a walk that day and accidentally drag them away as a tonic?

But then again, as robbers, they will certainly do no less hurtful things in their daily lives. And every city basically has a person in power, robbers want to quickly obtain resources, of course, they have to rely on the robbers' housekeeping skills - robbery, so that they rob the city once, they will offend a force.

So, those cities really don't have a place for them.

Taking the mountains and forests as their nests can not only solve the problem of residence, but also greatly improve their survival rate once someone comes to intercept and kill, relying on the vastness of the mountains and forests to escape.

"How far is it?" Taking a deep breath, Luffy looked at the endless mountains and forests in front of him and asked lightly.

This mountain forest is not too far from Shangjin City, but it is not too close.

Luffy and the others rode on horses and drove at high speed for half a day before reaching the outside of the mountain forest. It's been almost half a day since I entered the mountain. In other words, it took him a full day to hurry, but until this time, except for Hu Yutang and a few people, Luffy had never seen anyone else.

Hu Yutang walked to Luffy's side, stretched out a finger, pointed to the woods in front of Luffy, and raised his eyebrows: "It's not far away, there is a hill in front, go around it, and that's where the gang of robbers are hiding." Our informant will meet us on the hill. ”

Luffy listened to the informant in Hu Yutang's mouth and couldn't help but be suspicious.

This guy actually knows people in that gang of bandits?

When Hu Yutang turned around, he quietly met Luffy's gaze. As if seeing the surprise in Luffy's eyes, Hu Yutang laughed dryly, his eyes seemed a little erratic: "Actually, not only this gang of robbers, even if there are several other gangs of robbers, we all have inside lines in it." ”

With a hint of playfulness in his eyes, Luffy looked at Hu Yutang thoughtfully, and suddenly chuckled twice as if he knew something.

"It seems that those robbers have not been exterminated, so there should be an ulterior secret between them and those gangs, right?"

Luffy was confused before. If those city lords are really dissatisfied with the bandits, as long as they use all their strength, it will not be difficult to wipe them out, right? But why did the robbers grow stronger?

At this time, at a glance at Hu Yutang's face, Luffy instantly realized.

It seems that those robbers are plundering in the city, and those city lords are not ignorant, but pretend not to know. Even, from a certain point of view, they will be provided with some shelter.

"That's what the hall master said. Whether it's the lord of a city or a gang like us, how can it be possible to support so many people's resources if they are only supported by normal income? Taking a step back, even if we can hold it up, then those of us who are the leaders of the gang will not be able to make much oil and water. But let's go for it, and we'll be ostracized by everyone in the city. When the time comes, we will lose the hearts and minds of the people, and we will never be able to gain a foothold in the city for long. ”

"The robbers, on the other hand, can plunder and don't care about fame. But their overall strength is not as strong as ours. If they rob, we will do it, if not to wipe them out, but we will also devastate them. Therefore, the result of this is that we care about the size of the territory, but we are worried about the acquisition of resources. The robbers don't care about the territory of the city, but when they are saddened by the plunder, someone will attack them. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Yutang directly kept silent and lowered his head slightly embarrassed.

"So, for the sake of profit, you cooperate with those bandits? They're in charge of robbery, and you're waiting for them to rob almost as much as they want to do with the men? Wait until you force them out of the city, and divide the looted resources equally? Luffy tugged at his lips and said what he thought.

Nodding, Hu Yutang shrugged helplessly: "Not only that. Sometimes they are short of people, and we will also send some people from the gang to help them. ”

Poof! Assist? Luffy's head was cold, and he was directly speechless.

These people's hearts are really black enough.

Those so-called protection fees seem to have been cheated. I really don't know if that group of merchants would be so angry that if they knew that they had been robbed and that the gang they had paid protection money to participate.

As for eyeliner, it is estimated that the forces that have cooperated with those robbers will be inserted into it, so that no matter what the bandit group moves, they will be able to know the situation as soon as possible.

In other words, the bandit group is just another means of enriching those forces in the city.

"In that case, how could you have been robbed by the bandits last time?"

Luffy thought back to the last time that gang of robbers robbed Shang Jincheng, it seems that he didn't even let go of the Blood Wolf Hall, right? He even slaughtered the leader of the Eagle Gang.

As for how much the Nine Spirit Gate lost, Luffy didn't know.

When Hu Yutang heard Luffy's question, his face suddenly turned red, and then a few traces of anger appeared in his eyes.

"Those three guys. Not someone who used to work with us. When I was robbed, I was also depressed for a long time. With both hands clenched into fists, Hu Yutang showed a bit of indifference.

"......" Luffy was directly speechless.

Looking at it like this, are the three leaders of the robbery that day ready to eat them all? It's just that he ate too much, and in the end, almost all the wealth on his body fell into the hands of Luffy alone.

But fortunately, the eyeliner that the Blood Wolf Hall planted in the bandit group was not stupid, and he didn't rush up stupidly to cut Luffy as a dish.

"Then now the Blood Wolf Hall has a connection with several bandit groups?"

As the group continued walking, Luffy asked with some interest.

Hu Yutang's face trembled, followed behind Luffy, and after thinking about it for two seconds, he frowned and said, "If you don't count this, there are three more." But they were robbing other cities. ”

After Hu Yutang finished speaking, he glanced at Luffy's face, and saw that Luffy's face became more and more gloomy, and he panicked in the bottom of his heart.

Could it be that this kid doesn't like to be associated with robbers?

"If the hall master doesn't like it, we can cut off contact with them!"

Hu Yutang took a deep breath, his voice a little painful.

If the relationship with those three bandit groups is really severed, then the annual income of the Blood Wolf Hall will be greatly reduced.

But before Hu Yutang could think about it, Luffy's voice sounded a little low.

"Disconnected? No, no, no, you misunderstood, I mean. Since it is easy for robbers to make money, then three, I'm afraid some are too little. As long as they don't come to rob our business Jincheng, other cities, they want to rob, we can fully support it. Of course, in terms of interests, we want sixty percent. When you get back, look for some bandit groups and talk to them. If they do not agree, they will be beaten by force until they are obedient. ”

After saying that, the corners of Luffy's mouth slowly raised, revealing an evil smile.
