Nanyuan City to Tiannan County also have to change to a carriage, Ruochen and Li Beichen just got off the spaceship, a businessman came up to greet the two, because Li Beichen took the aircraft for the first time, very curious, unlike others who are meditating and cultivating all the way, but often go to the deck to wander, this person on the deck and Ruochen and Li Beichen have a few greetings, chatting about some strange things in the southern region, and gradually became acquainted, this businessman named He Cheng also went to Tiannan County to purchase goods, so he wanted to invite Ruochen and Li Beichen to go together, and there was a good response on the road。

"Two little brothers, I rented two thousand-mile carriages, and you are also heading to Tiannan County, how about we go on the road together?" He Cheng said with a smile.

"It's... I'm afraid it's not good. Ruochen said.

"Don't hide it from the two young heroes, this day the bandits in the Nanjun area have been rampant recently, let's go on the road together, and I hope the two of you can take care of the little old man. The food and living of the two people along the way, He Mou has all covered, if it is not enough, He Mou can also pay some expenses. He Cheng said with a grin.

"It's okay to go with you, but you don't have to pay for it, you already have four powerful bodyguards under your hands, and you may not be able to talk about taking care of them. Ruochen said politely.

"It's best if the two young heroes are willing to go together, hehe......" He Cheng has been doing business here for many years, relying on prudence and discernment, seeing that Ruochen and Li Beichen must not be vulgar, it is naturally safer to have two more bodyguards to escort them.

The four bodyguards saw that Ruochen and Li Beichen were young and their spiritual power was weak, so they looked down on them very much, but it didn't hurt, that is, they just escorted two more people, and if they were in danger, their key protection object was only He Cheng, if they had spare hands, they would take it by the way.

"Brother He, why did you just say that bandits were rampant in the Nanjun area this day?" Ruochen asked.

"Brother Ruochen, you don't know, in fact, the territory of the Southern Regions is not very peaceful, this Southern Regions Emperor is already in his last years, and he may die at any time. The crown prince was killed in the war with the Eastern Regions three years ago, and now the princes are busy with internal fighting, and the county kings around the country are also restless, and they are fighting for territory openly and secretly, and the county kings of Tiannan County were also killed with the crown prince in the battle of the Eastern Regions three years ago. He Cheng took Ruochen and Li Beichen to the post station to get the carriage and explained to them.

Ruochen listened and thought silently about the situation, which seemed to be very powerful to him.

He Cheng and Ruochen and Li Beichen and a group of seven people set up two thousand-mile carriages at the post station to Tiannan County, He Cheng has been in business for more than ten years, is good at talking, and is very good at telling stories, along the way He Cheng told Ruochen and Li Beichen about the strange things in the southern region one by one, and the two of them also listened with relish.

After thirteen days of travel, Ruochen and his party have gradually approached Tiannan County.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and He Cheng went out to take a look, only to see more than a dozen people gathered in front of the carriage, blocking their way.

He Cheng walked to the front and said with a smile: "A few brothers, the little old man He Cheng, and He Dangjia are fellow villagers, I hope it is convenient, I will go up the mountain to visit He Dangjia when I turn back." ”

"Master He, this realm is no longer what the He family says, not only Hejiazhai has been absorbed by our evil spirit legion, but the four villages and six caves in this vicinity have been absorbed by our boss. A seemingly leading one said.

"It's... When will this happen? He Mou just met and became a master two months ago. He Cheng said in disbelief.

"Our boss is a genius, but in fifty days, he has collected all the bandits in this territory, no nonsense, the little old man will let you go after paying the tariff. The leader said.

"This bandit leader seems to be a character. When Li Beichen heard what he said, he was a little curious about this bandit leader.

"Not much, fifty taels per person. The leader said.

"It's... The seven of us are three hundred and fifty taels, and the little old man is just a small business, which is too high, this big brother, you can see if you can be accommodating. He Cheng bargained with a smiling face.

"Then three hundred taels will be fine. The leader backed down a little and said, but for He Cheng, it was still a lot, and his face was embarrassed.

"These little thieves, why should Master He talk nonsense with them, let the four of us finish them off. One of the four bodyguards hired by He Cheng said.

"What a big breath, brothers. The one who took the lead was on fire.

Fifteen people rushed towards their carriage bee chrysalis, but most of these bandits were ordinary early and mid-stage cultivation in the body forging period, where was He Cheng's opponent of the four Qi training period bodyguards.

After a while, these little minions were cleaned up, and the number of people was counted, but there were only fourteen, and one of them escaped.

"Oh no, let's drive out of here. He Cheng was startled and hurriedly got into the carriage, and asked the four of them to drive the carriage to play Tiannan County City.

After driving the carriage for half a pillar of incense, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and He Cheng saw more than 20 bandit cavalry chasing them in the distance behind the carriage.

"Quick, run!" He Cheng shouted loudly.

Naturally, the carriage ran past the bandit cavalry who rode alone, and the distance was slowly shortening. The bandit cavalry even mounted their bows and arrows, and arrows were fired one after another from the rear, two of the four bodyguards drove separately, and the other two fended off the stray arrows from the rear.

After a while, a row of wooden fences appeared in front of the carriage, blocking the way. Many archers took aim at them. They had no choice but to stop the carriage, and the bandit cavalry in the rear also caught up and surrounded them front and rear.

"These bandits seem to be trained with speed, and they have the appearance of a little legion. "Ruochen saw the bandit cavalry pursuing from the rear, but he was orderly and unflustered.

"It's so bold that he actually refused to pay taxes and forcibly broke through. One of the bandit cavalrymen shouted.

“

It's not that the little old man doesn't want to pay taxes, it's just that the little old man will lose all his money after paying this tax. He Cheng shouted in the car, this is three hundred taels in and three hundred taels when you come out, plus travel expenses, accommodation and bodyguards, and some government officials, basically there is no profit.

"Well, it's only fifty taels for you, why would you lose all your money?" the leading bandit cavalry wondered.

"Didn't you say fifty taels for one person?" He Cheng was also confused.

The bandit cavalry led by him looked at the bandit who took the lead in stopping He Cheng behind him. The bandit was very nervous and shouted, "Old man, don't spew blood. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, you see how I, a businessman who has been doing business here all the year round, would offend all the heroes for a mere fifty taels. He Cheng said with an innocent face.

Naturally, these bandits understood everything, and it seems that this guy has filled his pockets.

"Brother-in-law, spare me!" the bandit begged for mercy from the bandit cavalry.
