A hint of sharpness flashed in the young man's eyes, and he suddenly broke off, "Offended!" ”

The long sword on his waist came out of the sheath like lightning, and Li Ran only felt that his eyes were flickering, and then his neck was cold.

What is the situation, there are assassins?

This is too much to die, isn't it...... Subconsciously touched his neck, but fortunately, there was no bleeding, and the blade of the sword stopped against the skin, and he held it very accurately.

“…… Do you have any misunderstanding about this uncle next to me? ”

Li Ran looked at Cheng Bo, the latter was not slow to react, and the moment the young man's long sword was unsheathed, he also pulled out the sharp dagger he carried with him.

"It's too late to surrender now."

Cheng Bo's martial arts, Li Ran has always been trustworthy.

"Bang, bang!"

The long sword and dagger touched twice, and Li Ran's expression changed twice in a row...... From calm to surprised, from surprised to frightened.

It's not scientific!

Obviously, every inch is short and every inch is dangerous, Cheng Bo has already deceived himself to within the square inch of this young man, and there is no reason to miss.

However, the opponent's long sword crossed a strange arc, swung off, and pointed at Cheng Bo's wrist at an almost incredible angle, and the blade of the sword was bloodless, allowing Cheng Bo's dagger to fly out.

“…… You stupid, with a flintlock pistol! ”

Li Ran looked at Cheng Bo, who was going to come up with his bare hands and fight hard, and was moved to scold him for being a stupid fork.

The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the young man, this guy may have felt threatened, and he hid behind Li Ran with great spirituality.

“…… Brother, aren't you a traverser? ”

It doesn't make sense that the natives of the Tang Dynasty would recognize the power of the flintlock pistol.

"I don't know what you're talking about, this kind of weapon, I've seen it in Cold Spring, and a group of Tang soldiers used them to kill twice as many Tubo scouts as themselves, it's very powerful."

The young man pressed the blade tighter and said in a deep voice, "Let him not move, I don't want to hurt the innocent." ”

“…… Brother, don't you think that the hostage you took me is the biggest innocent? ”

Li Ran was so angry that his nose was crooked, where did this tease come from.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I really have a reluctant request." , A trace of hesitation and shyness flashed in the young man's eyes, "I'm going to ask you to provide goods to Broken Leaf City, please." ”

"So, you think you should use a knife to ask someone?"

Asking questions again, Li Ran found that he was good at mouth cannon skills, and he actually trained this young man to a red face and a look of shame.

Of course, one thing is certain, and that is that this guy is definitely not an assassin...... If so, then the employer is a blind man.

“…… What are you going to do to provide goods to Shattered Leaf City? ”

Broken Leaf City, Li Ran has a little impression, a small town in the Western Regions northwest of Qiuzi, the distance is not far.

"There was a plague there, there was an extreme shortage of food, I went out of the city to ask for help, no caravan dared to transport grain over, I had no choice but to make this decision."

“…… Pestilence? Then you don't stay away from me! ”

Li Ran hurriedly turned his head to avoid taking a breath of air with him, but after thinking about it, since this guy was still healthy and healthy for such a long time from Broken Leaf City to Qiuzi, most of them were not carriers of germs.

“…… I'm sorry, if you don't go, I won't. ”

The young man's face was full of apologies, but his attitude was resolute.

Li Ran sighed depressedly, there was no way to take this kraft candy, and frowned at the moment, "If the gentleman doesn't erect a dangerous wall, I won't go to the place where the plague is made...... However, I can give you the goods you want, and I can also help you organize a death squad to transport them to Broken Leaf City. ”

Anyway, let's get out first, his life is precious, and a little material is a fart.

"Really? Can I trust you? Xiaoqing, you were immediately overjoyed, and you were a little suspicious that he was lying.

“…… Cheng Bo, go and get supplies, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and fill eighty camels. ”

Li Ran decided to teach this tease a lesson with practical actions.

In less than half an hour, the team was organized, and Cheng Bo was worried about Li Ran's safety, how dare he delay, even the death squad was prepared.

"Let go of my young master, you want hostages, and the old man is bound by himself."

Cheng Bo's skills are not as good as others, and he was so guilty that he wanted to die for his life, but the young man shook his head again and again, "No, you talk about credit, and I also talk about credit." ”

After that, he really let go of Li Ran.

This is so naïve, at least, you have to wait until the goods are transported out of the city before releasing people, right?

In the next second, the old and spicy Cheng Bo taught him to be a man...... The flintlock pistol caliber of the black hole hole is aimed directly, not one, but with the elite henchmen behind him, he draws his guns together!

"Slow down."

Li Ran called a halt, the situation reversed, and he became interested in the origin of this young man.

"What's your name? Why do you want to ship goods to Shattered Leaf City? ”

“…… Alas, I hate that I was deceived by you thieves, and I'm sorry for the fathers and folks of Broken Leaf City! ”

His face was full of chagrin, and he actually lifted the long sword and aimed it at his chest, wanting to kill himself.

"You...... Sick? Did I say I wouldn't ship goods to Shattered Leaf City? ”

The long sword stopped on his chest, and the young man said in disbelief, "What, isn't this your expedient measure to get out?" ”

“…… Such a little cargo is not worth my disgrace and breaking my word. ”

Li Ran gave him a blank look, and ordered the team to set off first and hurry to Shattered Leaf City.

When the young man was sure that he was not lying, he trembled with excitement and knocked his head several times.

"Thank you for your great kindness, after I deliver the supplies, I will definitely come back to make amends to you."

“…… Communicate with you, I'm tired, you have to make amends, at least let me know who you are, right? ”

Li Ran covered his forehead and motioned to Uncle Cheng to let him go, so he should have met a fool.

"My name is Pei Min!"

The young man's footsteps were accompanied by echoes, and the name was a little familiar.

Wait, Pei Min!

“…… Young master, the old man is incompetent and has failed to keep you safe. ”

"Don't mind, Uncle Cheng, you're already very strong, it's too normal to lose to him."

Li Ran patted Uncle Cheng's shoulder, his face full of affirmation.

After all, Pei Min, one of the three unique 'Sword Saints' of the Tang Dynasty, also had to use two tricks to subdue Cheng Bo, and if he said it, he would have face.

The episode did not affect the plan to win over Hu Shang.

Two days later, ten agents were released, all of which were the result of full consideration, and the significance of connections was even greater than the efficiency of making money.

At the banquet, Li Ran set the amount of goods to be handed over, which was enough for these Hu merchants to earn blood, but the proviso condition was to use them as middlemen to go deep into Tibet, Turks and other places to obtain information.

After some haggling, the two sides reached an agreement...... In the face of huge interests, there are not many people who dare to take risks.

After the goal was completed, it was supposed to take advantage of the autumn temperature to further reduce the return trip.

But Li Ran remembered Pei Min's promise and insisted on staying for another half a month, the reason was very simple, he was curious about whether the highest realm of ancient martial arts was as magical as it was handed down in later generations.

Curiosity kills cats...... Fortunately, time was not wasted, and it happened that within half a month, Pei Min returned to Qiuzi in a hurry.

There are also refugees with nearly 100 people.
