Chapter 54: The Bandits (Asking for Collection and Recommendation Votes)
Not long after, Zhou Bo led people back from the mountain, Liu Yuan immediately ordered someone to light a bonfire in the cave, he looked at Zhou Bo again, and asked, "How?" ”
"Brother Yuan, I didn't find this wild vegetable, but I picked a lot of wild fruits." Zhou Bo smiled.
"Well, it's not bad." Liu Yuan nodded slightly, "Distribute the fruit, dry food can be saved, and there is still a long way to go." ”
"No!" Zhou Bo should go down.
After Fang Cai's deterrence, the prisoners were much more stable, and after eating wild fruits, they all sat together in groups of three or five. Cao Shen may have been really tired, and after a little inspection, he also lay down in a corner and closed his eyes to rest.
"Rest too, it's been a hard few days." Liu Yuan said to Da Niu and Zhou Bo, and then he arranged for two strong men to guard outside the cave, and as for himself, he sat by the campfire.
"Brother Yuan, I'll accompany you." Da Niu sat down and said with a little worry.
"No, you kid go to sleep quickly, you have to hurry up tomorrow." Liu Yuan smiled with relief, Da Niu is always so honest, if his temperament changes a little, he can also be responsible in the future.
Sitting by the bonfire, Liu Yuan was also thinking, calculating the time, the first emperor's life was not long, this escort was likely to be a turning point, he looked sideways, thinking of the strong men, money, and rice in the Surabaya Pavilion, he also had a little confidence. The night was calm and there were no incidents. In the morning, Cao Shen woke up very early, and when he saw that the sky was dark, he asked Liu Yuan to rest for a while. Waiting until sunrise did the conscripts set out again.
Lu Juan was scolded with a cane last night, and at this time he was unable to move, only Fan Hao carried it, and as for Liu Ji, he was even more gloomy, the three of them walked at the end of the team, muttering all the time, not knowing what they were thinking. Fortunately, Zhou Bo was vigilant and did not relax his stare at Liu Ji.
Along the map to the northwest, passing by the county seat, Liu Yuan ordered Zhou Bo to go into the city to buy some dry food. Everyone walked day and night, and so on, and finally arrived at the boundary of Daliang after about half a month.
Daliang is the capital of the old Wei Dynasty, the water network is dense, the roads are accessible, and the soil is fertile, the grain is abundant, it can be said to be the center of the Central Plains. It's a pity that the water of the chasm was led by the Qin soldiers, and the city was destroyed and the country was destroyed. Today, Daliang is still the gathering place of the common people of the old Wei Dynasty, where many nobles of the old Wei Dynasty hide in it and secretly accumulate strength.
Qingmang Mountain is about 50 miles away from Daliang City, and it is a necessary place to enter Daliang in the north. Qingmang Mountain is densely forested, the road under the mountain is constantly pedestrians, and the convoy of merchants is endless, but they all look panicked and hurried. Liu Yuan opened the map, and his brows were also frowned, and Lu Ze drew a cross in the area of Qingmang Mountain, which was to remind that there were bandits here. Liu Yuan looked at Cao Shen and said with a solemn face: "Brother Cao, let's get out of this Qingmang Mountain as soon as possible." ”
Cao Shen nodded, and immediately made the whole team speed up. Passing by the middle section of Qingmang Mountain, the blades of grass in the mountains and forests on both sides are shaking, and the figures are shuttling, Liu Yuan saw this, his heart was solemn, and he really met the bandits in the mountains. Seeing the person blocking the way, Cao Shen shouted angrily, "Who are you waiting for, dare to block our way." ”
"Haha, brothers, it's another team of conscription, and some of them have earned this time." A leading man swept over Cao Shen and smiled at the bandit behind him, "Errand boy, I don't care who you are in this Qingmang Mountain, even if it is Qin Jun, you have to pay me money." ”
Cao Shen was slightly surprised, there were only forty or fifty of these bandits, but they were not afraid, and they even said such big words, could it be that they were really not afraid of the Qin army's purge? Liu Yuan took a closer look at these bandits, they were all capable, and they all had blades in their hands, especially the leader who was wearing half of the armor.
Looking at the leader, Liu Yuan thought about it slightly, he was shocked, and secretly said that this bandit dared to be so blatant. This half-body armor is the military system of the old Wei, this bandit is afraid that he was born in the former Wei army, and near the big beam, there are all the people of the old Wei, and there may be the shadow of the old Wei nobles behind these bandits.
The situation was troublesome, and Liu Yuan said softly to Cao Shen: "Brother Cao, it is not appropriate for us to wait for the escort to have a conflict, so let's pay some tolls." It wasn't that he was afraid of the bandits, but that Liu Yuan thought about it a lot. These bandits are not troublesome, but the nobles of the old Wei behind them need to be treated with caution, don't look at the first emperor unified the six countries, but these hidden nobles still have a good influence in various homeland lands.
"This?" Cao Shen had doubts, he was a servant, how could he compromise with the bandits?
Seeing this, Liu Yuan had no choice but to whisper his guess. Cao Shen was also surprised when he heard this, he glanced at the bandit leader again, and saw that the latter's armor was indeed the standard of the old Wei Dynasty, Cao Shen took a breath and said in a low voice: "It's still Little Brother Liu's careful observation." If it's as you guess, then pay some money as you say. ”
Liu Yuan took a step forward and said to the bandit: "I still need to hurry, and I don't want to have any conflicts, so what is the money for the pass, let's just say it." ”
The bandit leader smiled and said, "You are interested." These prisoners are ten dollars each, and as for you escorts, hehe, thirty dollars each. ”
"Don't go too far." Cao Shen glared angrily at the bandit.
Liu Yuan also didn't like it, this bandit really collected money all over the sky and sat on the ground to start the price. After a little calculation in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Zhou Bo, give money! ”
"Brother Yuan, this is a lot of money." Zhou Bo reminded in a low voice.
Seeing that Liu Yuan did not answer, Zhou Bo could only reluctantly take the money and hand it over to the bandit. And the bandit leader was also shocked, he didn't expect this small escort team to have such money. At this time, the bandit leader's gaze at Liu Yuan was also much more solemn, knowing that he was deliberately making things difficult, and he couldn't bear it, he secretly said that he was a character.
"This little brother is refreshing, I will speak on Wednesday, and the brothers will let me go." Wednesday shouted loudly, the bandits immediately hid into the mountains and forests, and before Wednesday left, he arched his hand to Liu Yuan: "Who is the little brother?" ”
"Liu Yuan, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County!"
Wednesday nodded and quickly left.
"Let's go, the money is small, and the conscription is big." Liu Yuan saw that Cao Shen was still angry, and he opened his mouth to comfort. Liu Yuan has never underestimated the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and the chaos at the end of Qin in his previous life is the best proof that their prestige in their homeland is not something that outsiders can imagine.
And after the bandit leader left on Wednesday, he immediately changed his armor, and he hurried through the trail to Daliang City. After entering a courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man with a strong force, and after saluting on Wednesday, he told Liu Yuan in detail, "Big brother, look at them three times, they don't look like an ordinary escort team." ”
"Surabaya Pavilion Chief Liu Yuan?" The man mused in a low voice, then suddenly exclaimed, "Is it him?" Okay, good, good, I want to see such a person. ”
