A huge caravan of seven or eight thousand people led by the God King and Shanhai entered the Lingzhi country and conducted a trade exchange outside the national capital.

They stayed here all day, and then they slowly learned about the situation. This place has a complex number of players, especially those who are engaged in the "robbery profession", and the "Merry Bandits" are famous here. In the entire territory of Lingzhi Country, there are countless forces that have fought against this merry bandit, but no one has taken advantage of him so far. The object of his robbery has never been intact.

After hearing all kinds of rumors about the merry bandits, the god king and the mountains and seas were somewhat disdainful. Their defeat in the early morning was too careless, underestimating the observation power of the merry bandits, and as a result, they were only played by the merry bandits once, but in terms of strength, this merry bandits could not take advantage of them in their hands.

They sell some daily necessities here, such as wine, silk, ceramics and other goods, to the NPCs and players here to improve their lives, exchange horses, food, and slaves. But none of the other items, such as bronze, medicines, war bows, leather, etc., were sold here.

Isn't that a joke, selling these materials that can be used for war to the bandit players here is tantamount to making a mistake for yourself.

The God King and the Mountains and Seas didn't have any good feelings about the large number of bandit players entrenched here, and they didn't want to stay here for long if it weren't for the three things they needed. The players who are engaged in the robbery profession here are enthusiastic about their goods, but they are afraid of the caravan's escort army, and the trading place is outside the city of Lingzhi, so they don't dare to rob it.

The next day, the Zhoushui caravan left Lingzhi and continued eastward. Head to the Walled City of Liaoxi – or the Walled City of Lulong, a hundred miles away. The Lulong Walled City is the seat of governance in western Liaoning. Many players are not familiar with the name Lulong, but they are familiar with the name Liaoxi, so they call Lulong City directly Liaoxi City, which actually refers to a place.

After leaving the vicinity of the capital of the Lingzhi Kingdom, a large number of players in the Lingzhi Kingdom immediately turned into bandits.

This road is very unpeaceful, there are many bandit spies of all sizes, three or five hundred groups of bandits, the total number of tens of thousands of troops, all the way to follow the caravan, harassing from time to time.

Scout cavalry striking caravans. Look for opportunities to loot.

This time, the God King and Shanhai learned their lesson, and the seven thousand soldiers did not leave the caravan an inch. Don't give these bandits a chance to sneak up on the caravan. Even the scout cavalry was shrunk back to avoid losses to the scout cavalry.

Despite such careful precautions. The caravan was nevertheless attacked twice by these bandits.

The time of the raid is when the caravan crosses the river. To get to the walled city of western Liaoning, you need to cross two rivers. The caravan found the safest place to cross the river, but when the army crossing the river was at its emptiest, it was still attacked by the bandits who came in, losing nearly a dozen transport wagons, accounting for 2% of the total number of carriages.

The players of the caravan scolded angrily, but they were helpless against the bandits who came and went like the wind.

did not dare to divide the troops to pursue. The caravan crossed the river into the territory of western Liaoning. The rampant bandits then disappeared and did not follow them again.

The walled city of Liaoxi is the walled city of the Yan Kingdom. There are many players, and the players have far more troops than bandits, and the blow to bandits is very severe. The bandits of the Zhiguo did not dare to enter the country easily.

The Zhoushui caravan made a second large-scale trade here, intending to sell all the goods "bronze, war bows, medicines, leather", etc., in exchange for horses, grain, and slaves.

The players of the caravan were amazed that there were many bronzes for sale in the market for a long time. The trade between Liaoxi and Zhoushui Walled City was not convenient, and this was the first player caravan to come to Liaoxi from Zhoushui Walled City, so those bronzes could not be the bronzes of Zhoushui Walled City. As soon as they asked, they found out that the Liaoxi Walled City had already produced bronzes for sale seven or eight days ago.

The players of the caravan suddenly became nervous.

It's no surprise that players in other walled cities have developed bronzes. Xiaobai can study it, and others can naturally study it. However, if the Liaoxi Walled City can produce its own bronzes, I am afraid that the bronzes they brought this time will not be easy to sell.

Fortunately for them, there were not many bronzes produced in the walled city of Liaoxi, only a few thousand, which was far from meeting the demand. The 20,000 bronzes they brought this time were quickly sold out, and the sales were very hot.

Nearly three or four hundred wagons of various goods were quickly sold to ordinary players, chamber of commerce players, and players of various major forces here in exchange for the materials they needed.

The walled city of western Liaoning.

Three or four players in bronze armor with bronze swords to be hung are in a restaurant, one of them is the leader, and the others are his brothers. Their faces were very ugly, and they sat in the restaurant from afar and watched the players of the Zhoushui caravan trading goods with the players of Liaoxi, and the entire walled city looked very lively.

"Boss, this caravan from Zhou Shui has brought a large number of bronzes, and they have directly suppressed the price of bronzes from 600 copper coins to 400 copper coins, which is very detrimental to our production!"

"With this sale, they snatched all the money that should have belonged to us. In the future, the bronze we produce will not be able to sell at a good price.

This is the first time, if they come here to sell bronzes every day in the future, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep our jobs! ”

One by one, several of his brothers said angrily, with a clear hatred for the caravan.

But their boss didn't speak.

One player couldn't help but say, "Boss, you can say something, how can you get them not to sell bronzes here?" They're making money and they're happy, and we're going to be miserable. ”

Ling shook his head slightly and said: "This caravan has more than 7,000 guards alone, and most of them are equipped with bronze swords, and their strength is not ordinarily strong, what can we do with them?" All the bronzes we produce are not as many as they use themselves, let alone the bronzes they sell. I'm a figure with a head and a face in this Liaoxi City, but I can't compare with this caravan. ”

The players were speechless.

The difference in strength is not that they can do whatever they want. If you have the ability, you have to settle the 7,000 caravan guards first, otherwise it will be. But to deal with the 7,000 soldiers equipped with bronze weapons, it is more difficult than destroying tens of thousands of Shanjung. The army led by the player is much more flexible than the army led by Shanjung.

Not to mention their forces, even if they gather the strongest player forces in Liaoxi City, they may not be able to take this caravan.

Ling took a sip of wine and sneered: "Although I can't help them, there are people who can deal with them." Let's see, I will tell them that this Liaoxi City is not a place where they can come and leave if they want to, and one of them hurriedly asked, "What is the boss going to do?" ”

Lingdao: "Contact the merry bandits of Lingzhi, and say that I have an invitation to discuss something with him." It will have to be negotiated before tonight, and it will be difficult to do it after the time has passed. ”

One of his player subordinates complained: "But Boss, that merry bandit has a grudge against us, he robbed several truckloads of our copper mines ten days ago, causing us a lot of losses, otherwise our strength will definitely be stronger than now."

We haven't settled this revenge with him yet! ”

Ling said calmly: "Hatred is revenge, talking about things is talking about things, don't get mixed up." Now I need him to do something for me, and I think he'll be happy to meet me, so go ahead. ”

The player hesitated for a moment, followed the leader's order, and went to contact the merry bandits.

That night, Jiuxiaoke and the merry bandits met at the border between Lingzhi and Liaoxi and talked about some things. Only the two parties know what it is. One thing is certain, however, that they soon traded a lot of goods.

The Merry Bandits used the goods they looted during this time to exchange them for items from the hands of the Nine Sky Guests.

To the delight of the Merry Bandit, he received the coveted bronze sword. There are about 300 in total, which is not a lot of them, but it greatly enhances the raid power of the merry bandits.

The Zhoushui caravan stayed in the walled city of western Liaoning for two days to empty and dispose of all the goods. Three bronze for an ordinary war horse, one bronze for an ordinary horse, or a slave, and one bronze for 200 grain.

All the goods were exchanged for more than 1,000 ordinary war horses, more than 7,500 ordinary transport horses, 2.17 million catties of grain, more than 6,000 Shanrong slaves, and more than 1.7 million copper coins.

The specialty of the walled city in western Liaoning is horses, and there are many kinds of horses, but the number of grain and slaves is not much.

The Zhoushui caravan completed its trade, left the walled city of Liaoxi, and returned to Zhoushui.

On the way back, it is inevitable to pass through the territory of Lingzhi again. What is even more inevitable is the malicious attack of bandits who are more numerous than ants. The caravan was guarded by 7,000 infantry soldiers, but it was unable to protect every part of the huge caravan.

Along the way, you can see the corpses and remnants of weapons left by caravan soldiers and bandit soldiers after the raid battle. The bandits' unscrupulous and frequent attacks made the caravan very embarrassed, losing nearly a thousand Shanrong slaves, as well as hundreds of ordinary horses and hundreds of thousands of catties of grain.

Of course, bandits also came at a high price, and they lost at least seven or eight hundred soldiers to rob the caravan.

It wasn't until it passed through Lingzhiguo, went out of the pass, was far away from the border of Lingzhiguo, and was only a hundred miles away from the Zhoushui Walled City, that the security situation gradually improved. Only then did the bandit troops disappear.

After counting all the losses, back and forth, as many as 9% of the goods in total were looted by the player bandits of the Lingzhi country. Coupled with the taxes paid in Lingzhi and the Walled City of Liaoxi, these aspects alone exceeded 13% of the expenditure, which greatly reduced the profits obtained by the caravan.

In the face of such a tragic loss, the God King and Shanhai could only smile bitterly.

The God King gritted his teeth with hatred and looked back in the direction of Ling Zhiguo, "If you robbed me, I will have to get it back sooner or later!" Wait and see! ”
