Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mountain Village (Asking for Red Tickets and Collections)

It turned out that the hint given by the soul mark was that he needed to spend credits to buy the corresponding arrows from the space, and the purchase price was actually not low. A normal arrow is 30 credits, an arrow for a backstab skill is 50 credits, and an arrow for a poison bite skill is 100 credits.

In addition to this crossbow in Liao's room, Xu Mo also found some scattered gold and silver, which was about a hundred taels, and the entire cottage actually only had such a little property, which shows that the people of Chijizhai are indeed very characterful as thieves and land.

Xu Mo distributed all these scattered gold and silver to dozens of bandits, which also allowed him to win the support of these bandits again, and his reputation among the bandits was once again improved.

At this time, Lu Chen came to Xu Mo's side and asked softly, "Leader, where are we going first after we go down the mountain?" ”

"Naturally, I went to the vicinity of Jiang Cheng first, Jiang Guo was defeated by Yang State two years ago, and had to take refuge in Qi State, so far I should not be able to relieve my breath, and this time the battlefield is estimated to be near its capital!" Xu Mo replied angrily.

"The leader is angry, isn't he asking this, he is asking us which way to go to Jiang Country?" Lu Chen hurriedly explained.

"Oh, how many roads are there to get to Jiang Country?" Xu Mo's eyes narrowed and became serious.

"Yes, there are two roads to choose from Chiji Mountain to Jiang Guo!" Lu Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "One road is an official road, there is an official road connecting the capitals of the two countries between Yang and Jiang, and the other road is a mountain road. ”

"Tell me the difference between the two paths!" Xu Mo asked carefully.

"The official road is wide, you can pass through the carriages and horses, it is located in the plain, it only takes a day and a half to reach Jiangcheng, but at this time, the two countries are at war, and they may encounter an army!" Lu Chen thought for a moment and said.

"As for the mountain roads, there is a mountain range in the territory of Yang and Jiang that stretches more than 800 li (400 km) from northeast to southwest, called Luliang Mountain. This mountain road is the mountain road in the south of Luliang Mountain, the road condition is poor, the brigade of people and horses cannot pass, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountain, it takes at least three days to reach Jiangcheng. The good thing is that you won't run into the armies of the two countries, and there are some small mountain villages along the way, hehe! When Lu Chen talked about the small mountain village, he couldn't help but snicker.

"Have you robbed these small mountain villages before?" Xu Mo asked lightly.

"That's not it, we want to rob these small mountain villages, but these small mountain villages are in the Luliang Mountains, and they are often attacked by fierce beasts, and the men in the village have escort teams, and most of them are hunters, and their archery skills are exquisite. In the past, Ji Liao was afraid that the brothers would lose too much, so he generally wouldn't touch them. However, the girls of the village were very enthusiastic about the foreign boys, and we brought money and food with us...... Hey! Lu Chen laughed.

"Let's take the mountain road, and on the way, we can also let the brothers go into the village to rest!" Xu Mo pondered for a moment and commanded.

"Whoa!" Lu Chen heard that Xu Mo had chosen to take the mountain road as he expected, so he happily returned to the bandit team and passed the news to the bandits.

All the thieves immediately cheered, and their steps quickened a lot. Chiji Village not only lacks food and clothing, but also has no old and young women and children. These superb thieves are all singles, and now Xu Mo has let them eat and drink to their heart's content, and has also given out a little silver tael, they naturally want to be full of lust~ desire!

After walking for two days in the mountain road of Luliang Mountain, Xu Mo and the others had already completed more than half of the journey. It's just that what makes these bandits depressed is that the two small mountain villages along the way are empty, and there is no trace of human habit, only some empty thatched huts remain. Although Xu Mo and the others did not have to sleep in the open at night, the obscene wishes of the bandits had to be frustrated.

Finally, in the early morning of the third day, they saw the smoke of cooking on the mountain road from Luliang Mountain to Jiangcheng, in front of the last small mountain village, and it seemed that the wishes of the bandits had not been completely disappointed.

With the cheers of the bandits, Xu Mo and the others quickened their pace and came to the village gate of the small mountain village. Because these small mountain villages have to prevent the attack of fierce beasts in Luliang Mountain, basically the entire village will be fenced with relatively high fences.

At this time, the villagers inside the fence had also seen it, and these bandits with rudimentary weapons shouted a warning to the village. There was a sudden burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the small mountain village, but Xu Mo and the others had no intention of attacking the village, just waiting quietly at the gate of the village.

A moment later, a group of people came out of the village, and after seeing this person, Xu Mo's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and his heart was groaning, and he quickly became vigilant.

Reincarnators! Although the space has made external treatments for the reincarnations who have entered the mirror world, it is generally difficult to identify them without direct combat. However, a wise man like Xu Mo can still identify most of the reincarnations from some clues.

The men and women who led the group were tall and sturdy, especially their fair complexion, which was markedly different from the few mountain people next to them, and several of them were also dressed in silk fabrics, and they were obviously outsiders.

Of course, just like that, it is not certain that these people are reincarnators, and perhaps it may also be some foreign business travelers. However, these people made a mistake, they did not mix in with the mountain people, but they took the lead.

If it was just a foreign merchant traveler, and the guests did not oppress the master, how could they take the lead in front of the indigenous mountain people. Only reincarnators who have a sense of self-superiority and like to control everything in their hands will choose to do so.

Of course, if it is a wealthy noble, it may also be like this, but the probability that a wealthy nobleman will come to this small mountain village is almost negligible, so nine times out of ten these people are reincarnators.

After discovering this, Xu Mo raised his chin at Fang Mao and motioned for him to come forward to negotiate on his behalf, while Xu Mo himself took a few steps back and hid himself behind the bandits. I have to say that this group of thieves brought out by Lonely has no other skills, so they are cautious and cautious, and their ability to observe words and colors is absolutely first-class.

After seeing a few sturdy mountain people coming out from the opposite side, his leader hid into the crowd silently, and immediately glanced at each other, gathered together, and blocked Xu Mo and Lu Chen, another small leader.

Xu Mo retreated into the group of bandits, took off the half-old leather armor on his body after dividing it by two, handed it to Lu Chen to put on, and asked him to pretend to be the leader of the bandits, standing in the middle of the bandits, and standing in an inconspicuous corner.

After Fang Mao came to the front of the group of mountain people, he said proudly: "We are the righteous soldiers of Chiji Village, who want to go to Jiang Guo to join the army, pass through here, spend the night, get some food, and then go on the road tomorrow." We will not eat and live in vain, and we will give silver taels as food and housing expenses, can we? ”

"All the righteous men, we have come from afar, and we should entertain us, but I don't know who your leader is?" A leading man among the mountain people said with a smile.

"Our leader, you are shocked when you say it, can you know Nie Li, one of the three righteous warriors of Qiu Chi? That's our leader! Fang Mao said, pointing in the direction of Lu Chen. Lu Chen also cooperated, raising his chin high, looking unfathomable.

"Nie Li, the three righteous warriors of Qiu Chi?" Someone among the mountain people exclaimed. The one who exclaimed was an old mountaineer who was about fifty years old, and when he heard Nie Li's name, several mountaineers next to him also showed surprise, but the men and women in the lead looked a little inexplicable.

After seeing this scene, Xu Mo, who was hidden among the bandits, his expression moved, and he had completely distinguished which of the mountain people in this group were reincarnators and which were the real indigenous mountain people.

The real indigenous mountain people will learn about the existence of Nie Li's character from the information circulation channels of this world itself. In this troubled era, the righteous deeds of Nie Li, who bravely fought against the evil sword immortal in order to save the child, would be respected by the vast majority of ordinary people and even wealthy nobles.

Because this kind of righteous act itself is very consistent, the ethics and morality of this world that values chivalry and light life, no matter what people think in their hearts, the evaluation in their mouths will be positive.

It's not that they don't get it, it's not that they don't get it, it's that they don't pay attention to it at all. For them, no matter how famous the knights of this world are, they are not worthy of their attention. In the short time of the mission, the only thing they care about is their own world mission.

The group of mountain people Xu Mo observed, after hearing the name Nie Li, seven of them had blank expressions on their faces, showing two very different expressions from most of the mountain people.

Among these seven people, five men and two women, five men are all in strong health, and two women have their hair tied in a bun and wear silk, which are the key suspects of Xu Mo at the beginning.

At this time, these seven people had already reacted, and their performance was a little unusual. At the signal of the leading man, one of the two women stepped forward, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Lu Chen, who was pretending to be Nie Li, for a moment, and then returned to the crowd and shook her head at the leading man.

The big man frowned, discussed in a low voice with a few people next to him, and was about to ask the old mountain man who was the first to exclaim. But he found that the old mountain people did not wait for his orders, so they automatically stepped forward, walked towards Lu Chen, and said in a sincere panic:

"Nie Li, the leader, chivalrous and courageous, bravely fighting swords and fangs, is admirable! Lao Yu is the head of this small mountain village. Welcome all righteous people to come to the village as guests, and please come into the village quickly and take a break! As for food and housing, if the righteous man wants to mention it again, he will not be ashamed to kill us! ”

With that, he bent down, bowed, and made a gesture towards the village. When the reincarnators saw this scene, their faces immediately changed.
