Chapter 57: The Robbery

Nowadays, it is not easy to do business.

In recent years, the border has been volatile.

The official road that was supposed to be a very smooth road was originally a smooth road, but at this time, it was full of horse bandits, and dangers were hidden everywhere.

Merchants are ready to make a fortune, and bandits are ready to rob businesses.

After entering the customs, there was no longer a single family on both sides of the official road that was originally all over the village, and there was no one for 100 miles.

At this time, all the caravans of various businesses and caravans traveled to and from various countries, and ordinary people had already moved their families into the hinterland of various countries, and they all had only one life, and no one wanted to be baptized by war and trampled by iron hooves.

Next to the official road, a flat place.

Hundreds of wagons were loaded with goods.

Hundreds of people are stationed here, and they are burying their pots and cooking at the moment.

Everyone performs their duties and is in an orderly manner.

Not far away, there were several guards armed with long knives guarding the sentry.

"Miss."

"It's been a bumpy ride, can your body still bear it?"

One of them took the most luxurious carriage, the door slowly opened, and the maid helped her young lady to walk down.

"It's fine."

"The value of this shipment is so high that if I don't go through it myself, I will always feel at ease."

Her eyes looked at the truckloads full of goods, and she spoke.

If trade is disrupted due to the outbreak of war between the two countries, the stockpiles will be in a hurry and will no longer be replenished. Therefore, when the war has not started, it is also considered to be prepared for some reserves in advance.

The carriage was filled with animal skins, mountain ginseng, and various medicinal materials and other valuables from the cold land of Beiyan.

"Be careful at night."

"Arrange more patrols."

Moved to the front of the leading guard, and said to him again.

"Miss, don't worry."

"The little one understands."

The lead guard nodded slightly, and he also knew the importance in his heart.

The goods were worth a lot of money.

You need to be very careful.

*

The sky is getting dark, and the birds are home.

A few bonfires, blazing.

"Stomp, stomp."

Above the ground, there was a sudden violent tremor.

In an instant, it woke up everyone who fell asleep.

"Miss."

Outside the carriage, there was the exclamation of the maid Xiang'er.

"But the horse bandits are coming?"

Lin Chengcheng stepped out of the carriage quickly, frowned and asked her.

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

I thought it would be a safe journey, but I didn't expect to be targeted.

A team of hundreds of people, still dare to rob?

It seems that this gang of horse bandits must be very fierce.

"Lin Shan."

"The carriages formed a circle in a circle."

"Prepare to meet the enemy."

Although the situation was critical, she was very calm and not too afraid.

Over the years, she has gone from being a steward in charge of the Nanchu firm to being the chief steward of the entire Lin family's firm, and every step has been extremely difficult.

Shopping malls are like battlefields.

It is not easy for a weak woman to have today's achievements.

dominates the shopping mall, all by a wisp of obsession in her heart.

"Yes, miss."

When Lin Shan heard this, he hurriedly commanded the carriage to turn around and set up the formation. Soon, all the carriages were in a circle as he commanded. Hundreds of people hid behind the carriage, some with longbows, others with long knives, and did not look flustered.

I have been running around all year round, and I have seen such a scene several times.

I'm used to it.

"Stomp, stomp."

The sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and it was noticeably getting closer.

"I'm afraid there are a lot of people."

If you listen closely, you can tell that there are at least hundreds of people.

Although the difference in the number of people is not very large, the people who come are all people who lick blood from the knife and kill people without blinking.

"Xiang'er, take care of yourself."

Lin Chengcheng didn't know martial arts, but she still drew her long sword.

She can't be half timid.

*

A few miles away, a group of 100 cavalry marched forward quickly.

One man and two riders, each brave and extraordinary.

"Find an open place ahead and set up camp."

At the head was a young man, handsome and extraordinary. He held the reins of his horse tightly in his hand, straddled his horse and gave orders to the others.

"Young master, why don't we take the sea route?"

"Do you want to ride a horse all the way?"

The people around him were very puzzled and asked him. Riding all the way, it hurts all over my body. How good the sea route is, it is fast and stable.

"Great rivers and mountains, visible by sea?"

"What's the fun but the ocean?"

The young man turned his head and asked him.

"Ugh."

Lowering his head, he was speechless.

The young man chuckled, dissolving the embarrassment in his heart.

Can I tell that I will get seasick?

As soon as I got on the boat, I started throwing up and was dizzy.

I don't know about horseback riding, horseback riding?

"Drive."

Whip it down.

*

"Big boss."

"You've seen it with your own eyes this time, and you always believe what the little one said, right?"

"It's really a fat sheep."

Hundreds of horse bandits stopped here, looking at the scene in front of them, and their faces were excited.

"Little fourth, good job."

"There are many rewards after this trip."

The big boss smiled and praised him.

"Let's go."

"Come with me and meet them."

The big boss took the lead and made a quick advance towards the caravan station, followed by hundreds of bandits behind him.

"Jinmen Wulong is polite."

"Please come forward and speak."

An arrow away, Le Ma stopped. Straddled his horse steadily, bowed and said loudly.

"I'll go."

When Lin Shan heard this, he stepped out.

"No need."

"Your job is to guard the formation."

Lin Chengcheng spoke to stop him, and Lin Shan could not afford to lose. He is still needed to meet the enemy's command, and others are not competent.

"Lin family firm, Lin Chengcheng."

"I've seen Master Wu."

Lin Chengcheng did not break away from the car formation, but just climbed onto the carriage and shouted to him from a distance.

"It's a woman?"

Wu Long didn't expect that such a huge caravan would be headed by a woman.

"Big boss, this woman is really good-looking."

"You can rob you back and be your wife."

The little fourth son drooled in his mouth and said flatteringly to him.

"Smack."

A slap in the face, without warning.

"Although we have fallen into the grass and become horse bandits, we also have our own rules."

"Have you forgotten in your heart? Are you looking for death? ”

The big boss was very dissatisfied and opened his mouth to reprimand. His eyes glared at him, a warning in them.

"The little ones don't dare."

"The little ones know their mistakes."

The little fourth son covered his face and replied in fear.

"Miss Lin is polite."

"Wu came uninvited, please forgive me."

"No need to talk nonsense, get straight to the point."

Lin Chengcheng interrupted directly, obviously the person who came was not good, why do you need to say more?

"Hahaha."

"Miss Lin is happy."

His words were interrupted by her, but he didn't care.

"Today's world is in chaos."

"Horse bandits were rampant along the way, and it was not peaceful."

"How many caravans have died unexpectedly?"

"When Wu saw it, he couldn't bear it."

"Miss today led the caravan through here, and Wu specially brought a group of brothers here."

"First, protect your caravan all the way."

"Second, it's also an errand for the brothers."

"Everyone takes what they need, and it is mutually beneficial."

A group of horse bandits nodded secretly behind him, the big boss is level, and the words of robbery can be said to be true.

"Oh?"

"What if I don't agree?"

Let your words fall wildly, and I will not move. Her face still doesn't change.

Let the horses come, who is afraid of whom?

"I'm afraid I can't rely on Miss."

"If I don't want to, my brother behind me will definitely not agree."

"Wu is also embarrassed, isn't he?"

Wu Long's eyes narrowed, and he said to him with a smile.

It's just a little chilly.

"I still don't have to bother you."

"We need to rest, Master Wu should please go back."

Lin Chengcheng did not show weakness and said to him bluntly.

"Miss Lin."

"I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I only need 30%, and I don't take anything else."

"Why don't you?"

Wu Long frowned slightly, and said loudly to her.

It's not that he's afraid of the hundreds of guards in front of him, but he has always had his bottom line.

Seek only money, not life.

Always.

"Oh?"

"Something interesting."

Such a horse bandit made her very interested.

"Master Wu, dare to come forward and talk about it?"

In her words......

Reveal the meaning of endless provocation.
