"Since you can't avoid it, prepare for battle." Peng Zhou saw that Lu Buwei and the steward Uncle Chang had no choice, so he proposed.

"This?" Lü Buwei immediately objected: "No! I'm a businessman and I don't want to offend people. In particular, these robbers and robbers cannot be offended. Once offended, they will always trouble us in the future. Such! There is no way to go back to this area in the future. The business on this road will be wasted. ”

"What can you do if you don't offend him? You beg him? You? Or let them grab it? ”

"This?" Lu Buwei didn't think about it and said: "I will find a way to contact them, give them benefits, and let them let us go." And! Every time we pass by in the future, we give them benefits. ”

"What if they don't have a bottom line?"

"This?" Lü Buwei couldn't answer.

"If they don't have a bottom line, we'll think of another way. We do business, we can't offend people, we can't kill. We can make less money, and we can rest the story. Furthermore! If there are robbers and robbers to protect the trade routes, we will be able to make more money in the future! Isn't it? Uncle Chang said.

"But robbers and robbers are not satisfied with making profits, and they want to even ask for your capital? Alas! ”

Peng Zhou sighed and continued: "It's not wrong to be ready for battle, we have a defense, maybe the robbers won't come?" Isn't it? Here it comes! We talk to them, and if we can do it, it's even better! Isn't it? If we can't talk about it, we are prepared, and we are not afraid of them. ”

Lu Buwei nodded and agreed: "We have two or three hundred people, and if there are fewer of them robbers, there is nothing they can do with us." Talk! Talk to them first! If you can't talk about it, then there is no way but to fight! Alas! This troubled time! Business is not good! ”

"That?" Uncle Chang said: "Then I'll go and prepare, let them drive all the carriages together." Put the important goods in the courtyard of the inn, and everything else, which is worthless and not afraid of fire, is put on the carriage outside. ”

"Hmmm! Good! Lu Buwei nodded.

"Fire prevention is important! If the two sides can't negotiate, then! Most likely, it will hit. If they can't beat it, they're probably going to set it on fire. Case! You ask Uncle Chang to greet him, and let the shopkeepers and guys in inns, restaurants, and other places be smart, so as not to set fire to robbers who fail to rob and ......" Peng Zhou reminded.

"No!" Uncle Chang stopped: "If you make it clear, they may turn their faces and deny people in inns and restaurants, and they will drive us away and not let us live." ”

"This?" When Peng Zhou heard this, he was also dumbfounded.

Oh, yes! Inns, restaurants and other businessmen are very afraid. Where do they dare to offend robbers and robbers? You offend them, and sooner or later they will come back to clean you up.

"It's the first time we've taken this trade route, so! Unfamiliar with this area. Otherwise! We took care of it in advance! Alas! Lü Buwei sighed.

"It's okay! I believe you! Brother Lu! Peng Zhou looked at Lu Buwei and said with relief.

"Drink! Uncle Chang, the housekeeper, can handle it! Lu Buwei picked up the wine glass and gestured, and then drank it first, regardless of Peng Zhou. Looking at him like that, he has no idea.

Maybe it's just a kind reminder from someone else? Or! It was the robbers who deliberately let the wind out, see how our caravan reacted? Peng Zhou took a sip of wine and analyzed.

"Don't be afraid! The people of our caravan were all specially selected by me. Not only do they have great strength, but they can also fight and are very fine. Unafraid! Not really! I can only fight. "Only then did Lü Buwei get to the bottom of it.

Peng Zhou nodded, feeling that this was Lu Buwei. No! This is a real businessman.

If you're not prepared at all, you're still in a gross business? What's the use of simply calling a bunch of laborers to push your cart for you? The people who followed the caravan were not only laborers and handymen, but also guards.

Simply hire a few guards and bodyguards, and the others are hard laborers and laborers, so the caravan is vulnerable.

"Put all the vehicles together! All the horses were led to the backyard of the inn. All vehicles, wheels are locked. Most likely, they are here to grab the horses! Grab the horse quickly, ride and run. So! You should know what to do! ……”

Uncle Chang came outside and confessed.

Of course! It is to confess quietly and not let people in inns and restaurants hear.

Just now! He had heard from another inn. Because it is a grapevine, it is inconvenient to spread it publicly, so as not to cause panic. Furthermore! The timid innkeeper will not let you live if he listens to it.

The people of the caravan often followed Lü Buwei to walk and do business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they naturally knew how to do it. Although Lü Buwei has the means to do things and is willing to give money, it is inevitable that he will still encounter robbers who have no moral bottom line. Or! Encounter unknown robbers. Or! Encounter a robber who is improvised for money.

During the day, the caravan can rest with peace of mind. In the evening, the caravan men were quietly ready to respond to the arrival of the robbers.

The first half of the night was peaceful, and the second half of the night didn't seem to move at all.

But the more this is the case, the more Lu Buwei and the others feel that it is abnormal.

It would have been better if I hadn't gotten the news. But isn't? Got the grapevine?

"Bang Bang!"

That's at this time! There was a knock on the door of Lü Buwei and Peng Zhou's room.

"Who?" Lu Buwei instinctively jumped up and asked.

Lü Buwei and Peng Zhou lived in the same room, and they started drinking until the second half of the night when they came in the afternoon. Isn't it? Seeing that there was no movement, the two of them lay down. Of course! Neither of them took off their clothes. There are weapons around him, and he looks like he can attack at any time.

The person who knocked on the door did not answer, but! Outside the inn, it has become a mess. Outside, there was a blaze of fire, and the voices of people were boiling.

"It's supposed to be a robber!" Peng Zhou also jumped up and reminded in a low voice.

"Robbers? How did the robbers get in? Bandit? Lu Buwei asked in a panic.

I thought to myself: I have two guards at my door, how can an outsider knock on the door? But! If the guards knock on the door, they will definitely speak.

Furthermore! Isn't it? The door to the room is not bolted? If it's a guard? It's very likely that they didn't knock on the door and just broke in.

These two guards never regarded themselves as outsiders.

"People can turn the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Ahh When Lu Buwei heard this, he became even more frightened.

"Squeak!" That's at this time! The door was pushed open. Outside the door! Standing stood a masked man in black.

The masked man in black was holding a bright machete in his hand, and his eyes were shining cold in the light, and he looked terrifying.

"You? Who are you? Lu Buwei boldly stepped forward and asked.

Peng Zhou saw that the other party was very fierce, and he was afraid that Lu Buwei would suffer a loss, so he took a short knife and stood in front of Lu Buwei a few steps forward, protecting Lu Buwei, and looking at the masked man in black.

"You? Why are you so familiar? Peng Zhou looked at each other and said quietly.

In fact! He didn't know the masked man in black at all, and he didn't have any impression in his mind. Isn't it? Soldiers don't get tired of cheating? Let's talk about it first.

"You?" When the masked man in black heard this, he was taken aback on the spot. Instinctively, take a step back!

"You? Why do I think you're so familiar? You? Who are you? Bandit? Coming to grab the goods? You? Lü Buwei stepped to the side and stood up.

"Acquaintance! Give me the horses! Goods! I don't want it! Seeing that Lu Buwei took the initiative to talk about things, the masked man in black had to calm down and said in a different tone.

"This?" Lü Buwei then said: "If our caravan doesn't have horses, then how can our vehicles go?" How will my goods go? Who are you? How do I think you're so familiar? No? I'm familiar with your shape! The tone of your voice must have changed, right? ”

"You're looking for death!" The masked man in black saw that Lü Buwei seemed to recognize him, and decided to take Lü Buwei's life.
