In a sense, they were killed from Zheng Jiaji, and now there is movement over there, they should be nervous and panicked, and they should be at a loss for the hired workers and handlebar styles from ten days ago, but the hired workers just stopped what they were doing, picked up the wooden guns and looked at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, they were waiting for orders.

There was only one horse running from afar, and Zhu Da signaled everyone to continue to be busy, don't care, the other party may not be coming at his house, it is likely to be crossing the border or doing something else.

I didn't think that I really came here, looking at the knight's dress, it was familiar, it should belong to the caravan in the same courtyard, and the knight waved his hand and shouted when he was dozens of steps away from this side: "A few masters over there, our owner has something to ask for." ”

The knight's posture was very upright, far away, when he raised his hands and controlled the reins, his other hand was also raised high, indicating that he had no weapons, and the caravan on the other side of the courtyard had seen Zhou Qingyun's archery skills, and they had also seen the power of the wooden spear being projected.

"Two masters, our team is also going to Huairen County, now the road is chaotic, want to partner with the old man, our host said, the old man don't have to worry, everyone is divided into two teams to go, what is the risk, please reach out to help, if it is a major event of life and death, please go to yourself, willing to pay a deposit of five taels first, and wait until the county seat, there are five taels to send." When he arrived, the knight dismounted.

To put it mildly, this is also the strength of Zhu Da's team, there are a lot of bandits and thieves in recent years, maybe there are not many people like Zhu Da who kill people like Zhu Da and cut melons and vegetables, with such strength, it is normal to want to borrow a light and take a cheap.

After the knight dismounted, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had not yet reacted, and the rest of the team had a rather excited and proud look, which made others awe, which was an experience they had never had.

Seeing everyone's demeanor, and then recalling the scale of this caravan, Zhu Da replied with a smile: "When you go out, you must help those who can, we will wait here, if we don't arrive after an hour, we will leave first." ”

When the knight heard this reply, he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, and quickly got on his horse and returned, and as soon as the knight left, several people, including Zhou Qingyun, looked at him with questions.

"If the two teams team up, the thieves will be afraid of the large number of people, and they will not come to harass, and we will have a lot less trouble, but we also have to be careful, in case this group of people has any bad intentions, we have to kill them all!" Zhu Da said loudly, after he finished speaking, the doubts of the others disappeared, and they all agreed with a bang, and their faces were full of confidence and arrogance.

But I didn't wait too long, and the caravan that said that I wanted to join forces caught up, this team of more than 60 people, more than 20 camels, five carts, and only a dozen people with knives, I don't know if I am still a man.

Seeing the size and composition of this caravan, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's vigilance has disappeared a lot, and there are two kinds of caravans based on camels, one is to go outside the mouth, which is to do the business of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia and even the Western Regions, and it is very profitable, but this kind of caravan, there are many camels, cattle and horses, and carts, and there are also a lot of guards, there are dozens of people with knives and horses, and the guys are also able to hold weapons and fight hard, and the other is like this, they go to the side wall at the farthest, and do the piecemeal business through the state and the government, Selling the goods needed from all over the place, and buying the specialties from all over the place, these caravans will not bring too many guards, because walking on the official road and provincial border, it is relatively safe, and the profit is mediocre, but it is always much higher than farming.

This also explains why Xu's remuneration is so shabby, a total of ten taels of silver, which will not be opened when he is placed in a large caravan to find someone to escort, so as not to offend people.

The caravan was presided over by an old man in his fifties, with half-white hair, and a chubby appearance very shrewd, and after the caravan arrived here, he hurriedly got off the cart and confessed with a smile on his face, saying that the people below made mistakes in a sloppy manner, and it took time to pack the goods, otherwise they would have rushed over.

"I didn't have to wait long, I see that your team has been packing up for a long time, and you have always wanted to partner with us, right?" Zhu Da said with a grin.

It is said that there is no need to break the things that the two sides have in their hearts, but there is no possibility of intersection in the future, and this caravan is too scheming, and Zhu Da doesn't want the other party to feel that he is easy to deceive.

Hearing him say this, the old man was stunned, the courtesy on his face turned into a wry smile, and he hurriedly said: "Come from Daizhou, who would have thought that there was a military disaster here, and you can't go, you can't go back, those caravans are so strong, you really don't dare to go forward, little brother, you are going to the county here, and you are doing your duty and authenticity, so the little old man will be cheeky and take advantage of it, and go over together." ”

Zhu Da nodded, but did not go deep into this topic, the other party's judgment was not bad, Zhu Da and their team said that they were from the county after they came, so I said this to tell the people here, don't look at us There are more than 20 people, but they are not outsiders without roots, and they have to weigh the consequences of what they want to do.

But this comes from the county, and others can judge from another angle, that is, this person is not a bachelor who can be burned and killed, but also has a foundation, and he has to pay attention to the rules and proportions of doing things, at least the destination is in the county, which will make them a little more jealous, of course, it is also this caravan that has dozens of people and nearly 20 knives and guns, and has enough ability to protect themselves, so they dare to put forward such a proposal that is beneficial to both sides.

But Zhu Da still asked, "We have killed a lot of people in Zhengjiaji, aren't you afraid that we will see money halfway?" ”

"Little Lao'er from the beginning to the end, little brother, you are not offending me, I will not offend anyone, Xiao Lao'er here just wants to be peaceful to the county seat, little brother, how can a righteous man like you do such a deed that loses his conscience."

This is a talk circle, but if you can say it clearly, think about it, there is no need to continue to probe, both sides have changed their expressions, and they are quite solemn to exchange names and origins, although they know that there will be no intersection in the future, but now, they all know that they are equal to each other and will not despise each other.

The old man's surname is Li Mingxiu, he is a person from Daizhou, this caravan is his own business, it is said that it has been passed down for three generations, what Zhu Da didn't expect was that this Li Xiu actually knew himself.

"Is it Zhu Gongzi, who started a big business with pickled eggs? Your Dachuan is doing a good deal, this military disaster, this thousand cuts of the Tartar, this good situation has been ruined by them, Zhu Gongzi, you will have a blessing after escaping, look at your ability to do business, this is really a good ability to turn stones into gold, and you will make a fortune in the future. ”

For those big caravans going north and south, Zheng Jiaji's various businesses are convenient for them at best, and they can supply or purchase nearby, but for merchants like Li Xiu who travel around the province, the various goods produced by Zhu Da are very important, and procurement and trafficking will occupy a considerable proportion of the profits, so it is natural to understand Zhu Da clearly.

After chatting a few words, Li Xiu's words were very measured, knowing that the story of Dachuan and Hebian New Village was a sad thing for Zhu Da now, so he stopped at the point, but with this understanding, the relationship between the two sides looked familiar on the surface, and Zhu Da also understood in his heart that the reason why the other party would say so clearly after knowing his own origin may not have no intention of framing his own family.

After Li Xiu's caravan arrived, there was no delay, Zhu Da and the others had already cleaned up the blood stains on the cart and set off together.

As agreed in advance, the two sides kept a distance of dozens of paces one after the other, and Zhu Da chose to follow behind, because this kind of camel caravan walked faster, and his cart had to be lifted or pushed by man when it encountered potholes and obstacles, so as not to delay time, and the other party accepted this reason he said.

But the real reason is very simple, Zhu Da doesn't want the other party to pay attention to the ruts of his own cart, the four carts are now put on some luggage, wooden guns and door panels, etc., those wooden boxes are covered, but the volume can be covered, but the weight can't be covered, the knowledge imparted by Yuan Biao has a real example at this time, and the rut marks that were crushed on the dirt road are relatively deep, and anyone who knows a little can see that it is wrong.

Of course, Li Xiu's caravan didn't fully trust Zhu Da's side, but half of the young people were at the back of the team, and a few stunned young people were still looking at it vigilantly.

Compared with the frequent troubles when they came, the return journey was much more peaceful and quiet, and there were a lot of businessmen and tourists on the road, there were very reckless spies, there were also well-camouflaged spies, and there were gangsters who came up directly to provoke.

But as soon as these people saw Zhu Da and their team, they immediately stayed away and avoided them, the difference was that some of their faces changed, and some of their faces did not change, and as for the gangsters, they were directly beaten by wooden guns and screamed on the ground, and then they were kicked to the side of the road.

"Looks like we've gotten word about killing thieves." Zhu Da said with a smile, and Zhou Qingyun nodded.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun killed bandits and killed thieves, fought twice in two days, or defeated the opponent, or killed all the opponents, the corpses were not disposed of, presumably the people who came and went could see clearly, and when the battle was made, there may not be no so-called fellow people on the side of the road watching, the news spread quickly, and the characteristics of Zhu Da's team were obvious, and there were people who came over and hid away that day, not to mention that the news should have spread in the past few days.

The performance of the bandit scouts added a lot of fun to Zhu Da and their other team, and the waists of the hired workers and handlebar members were much straighter, and their faces were a little more proud, but Li Xiu's caravan in front of them couldn't understand what was going on, they just felt puzzled, and some people talked about it, saying that there were a lot of thieves on this road, why was it too peaceful all of a sudden.

Although the road went smoothly, they still had to camp for the night, and when they walked together during the day, when they set up camp, the two sides were able to help each other to some extent, but the camp was still dozens of steps apart, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

"Take out the felts you got in exchange, this is not to go back and sell for money, or to keep everyone warm." Zhu Da shouted.
