Chapter 398: Grass Thief

Qingfeng stared at Ai Hui, the posture of the sword-like breathing was really a bit strange, although he had seen it many times, he still couldn't help but be curious. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Yuan Li was sucked in from the sword body and joined the Zhou Tian operation, and I had never heard of a similar Zhou Tian operation.

He always felt that Ai Hui had a lot of secrets and many behaviors were very mysterious, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that Ai Hui's behavior seemed to be very normal. What made Qingfeng feel strange the most was that Ai Hui had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere. However, his memory would periodically go wrong, and he couldn't remember when he had seen it before.

Ai Hui was the last to complete the Zhou Tian operation, and the cycle of the sword breath operation was much longer than the normal Zhou Tian operation.

Seeing that everyone else was waiting for Ai Hui to complete the operation of Zhou Tian, Yuan Xiu, who was waiting, immediately understood that Ai Hui was the leader of this group of people.

Ai Hui opened his eyes and saw Yuan Xiu standing respectfully on his side, and understood.

However, he is still a little unaccustomed to this kind of treatment.

Through these Yuan Xiu, Ai Hui knew that the direction they were in now was in Caiyun Township, and there was still some distance from Asakusa City, which made everyone happy.

Ai Hui asked about the smuggling business, such as how the business was and how many people could be transported every day. This group of Yuan Xiu knew that these small businesses would not be coveted, and they answered very cheerfully.

Ai Hui then knew a little about the smuggling business.

They are able to transport seven or eight times a day, but they are also dangerous, especially when it comes to receiving, and the surging crowds are prone to accidents. As soon as they see the slightest thing wrong, they will immediately rise into the air. Then they complained more than once about how poor these old natives were. The only reward that the old natives could get was the remnants of the magic weapon. The result of each day was to collect a bunch of artifact fragments.

Fortunately, the price of magic weapon fragments is much higher than before, and it is easier to sell, but the more troublesome thing is that they need to go to a larger city to find a merchant who can buy magic weapon fragments. Most of the day is spent on this.

Ai Hui took out some Yuan Li Beans and gave them to these Yuan Xiu, which was regarded as a reward for these Yuan Xiu.

The Yuan cultivators were overjoyed, and hurriedly reminded Ai Hui that there had been a group of grass thieves active on the border of the Emerald Forest recently, attacking the caravan and asking them to be very careful.

Bidding farewell to these Yuan Xiu, Ai Hui and the others drove the three-leaf rattan car and flew in the direction of the Jade Forest.

On the clover rattan cart, Ai Hui asked Zhao Bai'an: "Do you know about the grass thief?"

Zhao Baian hurriedly said: "I know one thing, it was created by Zheng Xiaoman, the adopted daughter of Zheng Yuanhong, the head of the former grass killing department. The grass killing department refused to surrender, and the backbone was baptized in blood. It is said that when someone secretly reported the news, Zheng Xiaoman and some family members of the backbone of the grass killing department escaped and called themselves grass thieves. There was no movement before, but now that the population of Caiyun Township is decreasing, their activities are very active. Many Yuan Xiu, who were dissatisfied with Dai Zong, also heard the wind and threw themselves into it, and they have been making a lot of noise recently. The grass thieves were the most ruthless to the caravan of the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't even let go of people bringing goods. The big chamber of commerce paid the money to buy the road, and it was also released. The small chamber of commerce did not commit any crimes. ”

Between Zhao Bai'an's words, he was quite respectful of the grass thief.

Ai Hui was a little surprised: "This grass thief's reputation sounds good?"

"Very nice. Zhao Bo'an explained: "Although Zheng Xiaoman is as fierce as fire, he never kills innocents indiscriminately, and the discipline of grass thieves is strict, which is better than the current grass killing department." Dai Zong usually retreats, but the people below are too greedy, which damages Dai Zong's reputation. ”

Ai Hui asked, "Is it the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce?"

"It's not!" Zhao Bai'an's tone suddenly became a little more indignant: "The deep sea chamber of commerce will reach out to the big and small businesses of the Jade Forest. If you want to make money, there is no other way but to join them, they will either mess with your business, or they will trouble you, frame you, and do whatever it takes. But when you join them, the bulk of the profits are all theirs, and there is filial piety in all aspects every month, and you can't end up with much hard work. And the whole family will be restricted in all aspects, and whatever mistakes are made, the whole family will be implicated. Dai Zong's body alone, how can he spend so much? The Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce is a group of locusts, sucking blood and sucking bones, it is really hateful!"

Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this: "Is it so serious?"

Zhao Bai'an glanced at him, and heard him call himself a member of the Dai Sect before, and couldn't help but sneer at this moment: "The Dai Sect is naturally full of wind and snow, and is extravagant, so who cares if I and other small people have a place to stand?"

Ai Hui asked, "With the strength of the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce, it is not a problem to exterminate the grass thieves, right?"

Zhao Baian shook his head and said: "On the contrary, the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce has suffered a lot of defeats, and there is nothing to do about the grass thief." The backbone of Caoze, mostly from the old department of grass killing, has a family history, and is good at military affairs. In addition, many people in the Emerald Forest either read his kindness, or hate the greed and harshness of the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce, so there are many people who secretly report to the grass thief. The Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce has also punished many families, but it is still repeatedly banned. ”

Ai Hui nodded: "So now Caiyun Township has a small population, and the elders don't care, and the grass thieves have more room for activity." ”

Zhao Baian was full of confidence: "Yes, adults don't need to worry, as long as it is not the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce, the grass thief will not embarrass us." ”

Ai Hui shook his head: "It's better not to meet it." ”

He just wanted to see Senior Sister Mingxiu, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

Qingfeng suddenly said: "You are going to the Emerald Forest, then let's say goodbye." ”

Ai Hui was a little surprised: "Why is this?"

Qingfeng said calmly: "The grass thief has no grievances with you, but when you meet me, you will definitely not let it go." Besides, as long as I enter the Emerald Forest, the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce will find me, and they must have a secret technique that can find me. I see that your swordsmanship has also reached a bottleneck recently, and there is little point in my sparring, so don't leave it at that. ”

Ai Hui thought about it, and also felt that Qingfeng made sense, so he got up and said, "Since that's the case, then don't pass." Take care of your own safety, and hope that we will not be enemies in the future. ”

Qingfeng shook his head: "How can I be your enemy? You will inevitably become a grandmaster in the future, and the future is limitless, I will not be so self-conscious." Farewell!"

With that, he flew off the clover and disappeared in the other direction.

Ai Hui stared for a moment, then withdrew his gaze. In this troubled world, people gather and scatter, like duckweed. Who knows what the future holds?

There is no breeze, only Zhao Baian will drive the clover rattan car.

Zhao Bai'an's flight speed in the clover rattan car was obviously much slower than that of Qingfeng, and Ai Hui did not urge. On the rattan cart, he pondered and studied swordsmanship, and when he set up camp, he entered the cottage and continued to look for the notes.

Every time he entered the cottage, the shopkeeper would recommend several tasks to him. Recently, the Patriarchate has been developing very well, and the scope of its mandate is wider than before. Coupled with the establishment of a reputation among the Maison, there is a shortage of manpower. The shopkeeper also handed him a letter, which was written by Mrs. Ye.

In the letter, Madame Ye spoke earnestly, saying that she lacked trustworthy people around her now, and she was desperate for him to come and help. also vaguely explained that she is now powerful and can give him a better future.

Ai Hui replied with a letter, saying that he had recently decided to travel the world and hone his swordsmanship, and thanked his wife for her appreciation, and would bother his wife Yunyun if he had the opportunity in the future.

As for the tasks recommended by the shopkeeper, he rejected them.

His daily life is unusually simple.

He Blind Man and Mo Zhong didn't have time to pay attention to him, and they both put their whole hearts on the roots, wood, and stones on the rattan cart. When they were in the old soil, they lacked the power to study. Now there was nothing else to bother about, and the two immediately plunged into research.

Before this, the two had never been to the old soil, nor had they come into contact with the materials of the old soil, which was like a new world for them.

Mo Buyu has a lively personality, but as soon as he works, he becomes very quiet and focused. She inherited Mo Zhong's craftsmanship, and although she looked immature in many ways, it could be seen that the little girl was very talented. She seems to have a natural instinct for plants and trees, and for a grass craftsman, this is the greatest talent.

Weaponsmiths and grass craftsmen, one is forged with gold yuan, and the other is quenched by wood yuan, and there are many similarities and similarities.

He Blind Man is usually a person like a gourd, but when he discusses with Mo Zhong, he is like a chatter and mean words. And Mo Zhong is honest and honest, but when discussing refining, his face is red and his neck is thick, he doesn't give an inch, and he has the momentum to move his fists if he doesn't agree with him.

Although Zhao Bai'an was born in a merchant family, in Ai Hui's opinion, he was too angry and was not a qualified businessman. Fortunately, although Zhao Bai'an is inexperienced, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and after being tempered by reality, he has also begun to become sophisticated.

The depression along the way was worse than the sea of silver mist.

Especially on the once busy trade routes, there are not many caravans in sight today. The grass thieves were of course one reason, but more often than not, the population of Caiyun Township was decreasing, the cities along the route were depressed, and the caravanserais were making little profit.

Now it is almost unprofitable unless the goods are transported to the wilderness at an astonishing profit. But if you want to transport goods to the wilderness, now the bandits are serious and the risk is extremely high. In addition, the wilderness is not a peaceful place, and the pioneers who are fighting for their lives cannot resist the temptation of the caravan at all, and it is very easy to take risks.

The closer you get to the Emerald Forest, the fewer the caravans.

Zhao Bo'an reminded Ai Hui that they had begun to enter the territory of the grass thieves.

Although Zhao Bai'an was quite confident in the grass thief in his words, Ai Hui could still see that he was a little nervous.

Ai Hui wasn't too worried about himself, he was worried about Senior Sister Mingxiu in Asakusa City. Senior Sister Mingxiu is from the Lu family, and her brother Lu Chen is the eldest disciple of Dai Sect, even if the grass thief does not hate her, he will definitely not let her go easily.

And if he can hold Senior Sister Mingxiu hostage, the grass thief can negotiate with the Lu family and ask for benefits.

I hope that Senior Sister Mingxiu will have enough people to protect her, and thinking about the power of the Lu family in Jade Forest, she should not ignore the safety of Senior Sister.

I don't know if I'm about to see my senior sister, Ai Hui has a faint uneasiness in his heart.

He asked Zhao Baian and his party to stay in the nearest town and wait for him to return.

He decided to fly to Asakusa Castle himself, so that he could be faster. (To be continued.) )
