Yingzhou Continent, the three major empires and Shushan divide the territory of four continents; Among them, the Southern Empire Suzaku is the weakest of the four parties, and the biggest reason why this empire can survive under the pressure of the three parties is the economy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Vermilion Bird Empire is located in a remote area, with a large population, a variety of cheap labor and rich mineral resources so that the people here can develop the economy, and by virtue of the sale of ores and weapons, the importance of the entire empire in the Yingzhou Continent can not be ignored, if the other two imperial forces forcibly invade the Suzaku Empire, it will inevitably become the target of another force, moreover, Shushan sits on the northern continent, and the Suzaku Empire will pay a large amount of tribute to Shushan every year, which can be said to be blessed by Shushan, This alone is not something that the other two empires can decide.

Dongfang Fan was on the side of a mountain road in the southern part of the Suzaku Empire, which was the only way from Shanlu City to the main city of Suzaku City, and all the merchants in Shanlu City were afraid to take this road, because there were often bandits coming out to rob caravans in the nearby mountains.

Zuoqian Jin, the largest mineral merchant in Shanlu City, this time with thousands of catties of refined iron ore to the main city of Suzaku, it was a matter that had been discussed with the buyer half a month ago, and in the past half a month, for the safety of the road, a group of gangsters were specially hired from the main city to fill the façade, which can be regarded as a precaution.

"I just hope that this journey will be safe and sound, and there will be no accidents...... After this transaction, with the assets of my Zuo family, there will be no problem in entering the main city of Suzaku...... In this way, Yue'er, their mother and daughter can live better...... When the time comes, it's just a matter of ......"

"What people! Stop it! Just as Zuo Qianjin was thinking about the future development, the cheers coming from outside the carriage shocked him - could something have happened?

……

Dongfang Fan and Liu Yutai took a closer look, and found that there was no village in front of them and no shop behind them, and if no one led the way, they didn't know where the head was, so when they encountered this large group of carriages, they unanimously planned to take a ride-

Unexpectedly, the people around the caravan were vigilant and fierce, but this fierceness turned into a scoundrel after seeing Liu Yutai.

"This girl is so beautiful! Looking at the appearance of the girl holding a long sword, she must be a chivalrous warrior, and it can't be a thief! Brothers, lay down your arms! Mao San was the leader of this team of hired gangsters, and at this time, his undisguised fiery gaze kept looking at Liu Yutai.

"What happened? Mao San, is he a bandit? Well? Who are the two of you? Zuo Qianjin's face was anxious, the whole caravan had stopped, and when he walked to the front, he saw the two unfamiliar faces of Dongfang Fan and Liu Yutai at a glance, and the latter was even more suffocating.

"The two of us are brothers and sisters who are wandering the rivers and lakes, in the next Dongfang Fan, this is my sister Dongfang Liu, my brother and sister lost their way through here, and stumbled upon your convoy, if you can carry my brother and sister on the process, I am grateful." Dongfang Fan said "my brother and sister", and Liu Yutai behind him was awkward for a while, but the two had already discussed it in advance, and it was not good to say anything at this time, so it was worth acquiescing.

"It turned out to be two young heroes, Zuo's convoy will go to the main city of Suzaku, if the two don't dislike it, they can accompany it, but my convoy doesn't have extra horses, the carriage is only cargo, just two brothers and sisters, I can only free up one more horse, please forgive me." Zuo Qianjin saw that he was not a bandit, so he was naturally happy in his heart, and immediately asked someone to bring a brown horse with an average size.

"Thank you Boss Zuo, my brother and sister have horses all the way, one is enough." Dongfang Fan whistled into the distance, and after a while, a dark horse with strong limbs, reminding Fengyun, and a mighty posture galloped quickly.

This is Dongfang Fan's Night Dragon Horse, but under his instructions, the Night Dragon Horse hides the dragon horns on the top of his head, and condenses part of his body shape, which looks only two or three times older than ordinary horses.

"What a dark horse!" Zuo Qianjin looked at the night dragon horse that stopped in front of Dongfang Fan, and couldn't help but admire.

"It's been a big win for being the boss, Liu'er, which one do you want to sit on?" Dongfang Fan asked casually, how did he expect that Liu Tangtai looked at the night dragon horse beside Dongfang Fan, and his eyes never looked away - seeing that he was about to be exposed, Dongfang Fan had to let the night dragon horse temporarily accept Liu Tangtai's ride, and he got on another brown horse.

The convoy moved again, there were two more people, but one of these two people was a "disaster water", Mao San walked around Liu Yutai from time to time, trying to get close, making the latter troubled for a while but couldn't make a move, and in the end, he had to follow Dongfang Fan's side, and didn't dare to leave half a step - the kind of coercive momentum on Dongfang Fan's body made Mao San feel creepy, so he didn't get closer.

"Dongfang Shaoxia, I don't know where you are taught? From the young man, he can feel a kind of indifferent coercion, which can only be had when the cultivation reaches a certain level, Zuo saw a disciple of 'Tiangangmen' in the main city a few days ago punishing the villain, but said that the person can be extraordinary with one enemy, but the spirit of that person is not as good as that of the young man...... Zuo Mou dared to ask, if Shaoxia is inconvenient, then forget it......" Zuo Qianjin talked to Dongfang Fan through the carriage window, but at this time, he asked the doubts in his heart with a respectful face.

"There is no way to inherit under the teacher, but he has been fighting with fierce beasts in the mountains and forests all the year round, and he has cultivated a terrifying and murderous aura, which is not a good thing...... But I don't know, what kind of organization is Gangmen that day? Dongfang Fan waved his hand, not showing concern.

"Young Xia doesn't know Tiangangmen? That's not unusual...... This Tiangang Gate is a major sect hundreds of miles north of the main city of Suzaku, and it is the four first-class sects under Shu Mountain that are based in the territory of the three major empires, and this Tiangangmen is the only first-class sect in the Suzaku Empire! This is not comparable to other second-rate sects! It is said that more than half of the empire's combat power comes from Tiangangmen, and the master of Tiangangmen lives in the palace of the main city of Suzaku all the year round, and is almost on par with the current emperor! Zuo Qianjin was already a little more vigilant after thinking about it, he didn't know Tiangangmen in the Vermilion Bird Empire, so it was very likely that the two brothers and sisters in front of him came from other empires.

"Oh? So what second-rate sects are there around here? My brother and sister have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and they also want to have a stable residence, the first-class sect does not dare to climb high, if they can enter a second-rate sect with their own kung fu, it will not be in vain. Dongfang Fan didn't care much, his target was a second-rate sect.

"Second-rate sect...... In this way, there is a 'Cuizhu Peak' not far ahead, which is a second-rate sect, although it is a second-rate sect, it is also stronger than us ordinary people, if your brother and sister really enter Cuizhu Peak, you will have to ask the two to help in the future! Although Zuo Qianjin was vigilant, he did not show it on his face.

"Cuizhu Peak...... If that's the case, then my brother and sister will say goodbye to Boss Zuo at Cuizhu Peak......"

After Dongfang Fan made up his mind, he was about to thank him, when at this moment, dozens of bandits in rough clothes and armed with knives and guns swarmed up and stopped the entire convoy!

"I opened this road, I planted this tree! If you want to get through this way, leave it to buy road money! Lao Tzu's brothers are two hundred and thirteen, and today they only brought the ninety-seven people, selling you a face! People, I can not kill them, you get off the car and get off the horse and leave quickly! "The bandit carried a machete on his head and shoulders, and there were a few scars on his face, but he was full of momentum.

"It's bold! The caravan protected by your third grandfather Mao also dares to rob it? Brethren, shiny guys! Mao San took a sip of phlegm, and his face was ruffian at any time, but he could be regarded as having the guts, and the guards pulled out their swords "poof", and the two sides suddenly became a stalemate, and a fierce battle could break out at any time-

"Mao San, stop!" Zuo Qianjin lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted.

"The Bandit King, the small one is just a small business, this batch of goods is for the Yu family in Vermilion Bird City, if the Yu family is angered, the small family is afraid that they will suffer, and please be merciful to the Bandit King's subordinates! This is some silver taels on the little one's body, so I left it for the king and the heroes to buy some wine and meat, and asked the king to fulfill it! "Zuo Qianjin knew that there was a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, and it would be difficult for the fight to end intact, so he planned to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Different from the Huaxian Continent, the trading currency of the Yingzhou Continent is gold and silver, and the value ratio of the same amount is 100:1, and at this time, Zuo Qianjin handed over a bag of silver taels prepared in advance to the hand of the bandit leader, with a smile on his face; The latter weighed the weight of the silver taels in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, and then waved his hand back, and the many bandits quickly retreated.

"Old man! Count you as acquaintances! Lao Tzu will sell you this face today! There will be a period later! Walk! The bandits left without looking back, much easier than expected.

Zuoqian Jin thought that these bandits would raise the price and so on, but he didn't expect it to be successfully achieved at one time.

"That's right, the Yu family is a famous family in the main city of Suzaku, even if these thieves are not afraid of me, they will definitely be afraid of the Yu family...... Although some silver taels were lost, this batch of goods is what really matters! ”

Zuo Qianjin returned to the carriage, and the convoy continued to move forward, during which Dongfang Fan and Liu Yutai did not have any reaction.

"Hey! This guy is not bad, why don't you help teach those bandits a lesson? It shouldn't take much effort, right? Liu Yutai leaned over and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Because of his solution, it's the fastest." Dongfang Fan responded frankly, such an answer made Liu Yutai look blank, and he didn't ask anything anymore.

and traveled hundreds of meters.

"Poof!"

More than 200 people surrounded the caravan again with murder weapons, and the leader of the bandits walked out of the group of thieves and said with a smile: "Old man, what a fate!" I didn't expect us to meet again so soon! By the way, you were threatening Lao Tzu just now, right? Then the Yu family threatens Lao Tzu? Then look at this: Lao Tzu is here, and all the two hundred and thirteen people are here! Pledge your lives here, you say, who would know that Lao Tzu did it? ”

The leader of the bandits was vigilant, and when he first heard Zuo Qianjin mention the Yu family, because the number of people he brought was too small, if he fought, it was inevitable that there would be fish that slipped through the net; In order to avoid unnecessary threats, he returned to the cottage and brought all the bandits with him, so that he could avoid worries!

"Bandit King, listen to the little one...... The small one is not meant to threaten you, this is ......"

"No more nonsense! Brothers, kill Lao Tzu! Don't let any of them go! "The bandit head ordered, and suddenly the two hundred or so bandits suddenly boiled-

"In broad daylight, I committed murder in my Cuizhu Peak, so daring!"

A vast sound of righteousness came from not far away, but I saw seven young people holding emerald bamboo swords, Ling Ran appeared and suppressed the audience!
