Chaoyangzi rolled his eyes and didn't speak, but Jing Yuxuan looked at Chen Nian carefully, and said, "Only if you are good to people, you have to make them afraid of you, and if you are afraid, you will be respectful." The little girl has two hits, I didn't misunderstand you. ”

Chen Nian didn't want her to say this to herself, she was a little surprised, and after smiling, she thanked her: "Thank you seniors for your advice." ”

Because of the delay in this matter, it was two days after everyone arrived at the Flying Dragon Mountain, and Chen Nian stopped five or six miles away from the Flying Dragon Mountain, found a hidden place and told everyone to stay, and instructed Xiao Monkey and another village to step on the plate in the Flying Dragon Mountain.

But in an hour, Xiao Monkey came back happily, and said: "Big boss, this time we have caught up with a good opportunity, there are a lot of people in Shanli, we only guarded there for a quarter of an hour, and several groups of people have passed, among which there are not only merchants who look, but also accompanying family members, walking with a car, looking at the wheel prints, are all full." ”

Chen Nian couldn't help frowning lightly when he heard this, although Feilong Cheng is a traffic artery connecting the two states of Qingdao and Hebei, it is not so busy. If it's really what Xiao Monkey said, I'm afraid there is another reason. She asked Xiao Hou'er again: "Are those people going to Qingzhou or Jizhou?" ”

"Jizhou, both groups of people are going east." Xiao Monkey replied, "If we chase after us to the east, we will definitely be able to catch up with one or two." ”

The Flying Dragon is a hundred miles long, and their location is far west, and those pedestrians will definitely not be able to get out of the Flying Dragon Tree tonight, and they will find a place to spend the night. These people have some belongings on them, and there is no one to escort them, which is really a good deal for a small village of only a dozen people like them. Chen Nian was silent there, Mo said Xiao Monkey, even Wen Daya was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but call softly: "Big boss." ”

Chen Nian was thinking about something else in his heart. A few days ago, they heard some rumors, saying that there was going to be a war in the west, and now there are so many people who are dragging their families to move from Qingzhou to Jizhou, which shows that Qingzhou is going to suffer from military disasters. In this way, it is the Jingyang Zhang family who is finally coming to fight Xue Shengying.

She unconsciously turned her head to look at Cui Xi. Lu Xiao, Chaoyangzi and others are not involved in the affairs of the village, so most of the things in the year are discussed with Cui Xi, knowing that although this person is not very old, he has some scheming, since she can think that the Zhang family wants to fight Qingzhou, Cui Xi must also think of it. He is Yang Cheng's orphan, in order to avoid Xue Shengying's pursuit and killing, he hid in Niutou Mountain, and now that the Zhang family has come to fight Qingzhou, he can go to the Zhang family to restore his identity.

Cui Xi saw Chen Nian looking at him, and was silent for a moment, but said: "You can go after those merchants, but I am afraid that there will be officers and soldiers patrolling in the city, and you need to be careful." ”

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but look at Cui Xi twice, and saw that there was no difference on his face, so he nodded and said, "Then act carefully." ”

Since she made the decision to do this lying business, Xiao Hou'er and the others were naturally happy. Everyone got together and discussed, and made a detailed plan, first Xiao Monkey and Cui Xi took Mao Er to catch up from behind, pretending to be pedestrians to blend in with the group of merchants, and the rest of the people took the mountain trail, quietly went around to the front, and got Xiao Monkey'er's code before starting.

As he spoke, the sun was already overhead, and everyone ate some dry food and went to two separate places. Xiao Monkey and their way, needless to say, Chen Nian took the rest of the people over the mountains and mountains, but fortunately, his legs and feet were good, so he was ahead of those people before dark.

The trade went very smoothly, and among those people were five or six merchants and the family members of a Qingzhou squire, although they invited four or five guards, but they were all mediocre in martial arts, and they came up with stupid and brute force, and smashed half of the car with a stone hammer, so frightened that everyone stopped resisting. Chen Nian, who was dressed in men's clothes, covered his face with a black scarf, stood on a mountain rock on the side of the road, held a steel knife and shouted: "Let's ask for money instead of life, as long as you happily stay to buy road money, this will let you go." ”

All the people were suspicious and afraid, and no one dared to come forward. After a while, a middle-aged merchant who could see it stepped forward, took out the money bag in his arms and untied it and put it at Chen Nian's feet, and begged carefully: "I also begged the good man to leave a capital to go back." ”

Wen Daya wanted to go forward to search the man's body, but was stopped by Chen Nian, telling him to pour out only half of the silver in the silver bag, and still throw the rest back to the merchant, and said with a smile: "This old man is a clever man, and he will inevitably make a fortune in the future." ”

The merchant smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I want to borrow your auspicious words." ”

Chen Nian asked someone to let the merchant go first. Seeing that these mountain bandits were really just asking for some money and not hurting people's lives, everyone relaxed a little, although they were in pain, they didn't dare to gamble with their lives, and they took out the money on their bodies one after another. Most of them only took half of it, and when they met the poor people, they didn't take a penny.

These merchants didn't want this guy to behave like this, and although they were robbed of their money, they finally thanked them and left. After these people were gone, Chen Nian was also busy instructing Wen Daya and the others: "Hurry up and clean up and leave quickly, don't meet the officers and soldiers again." ”

The people hurriedly packed up all the money and belongings they had obtained, and hid away from this avenue into the mountains, and found a hidden and safe place to spend the night. Wen Daya counted the money he had gotten, and there were more than two hundred taels of silver, and he was very happy, and couldn't help but ask Chen Nian: "Big boss, the merchant looked honest before, but it was actually slippery, I guess he must have a silver ticket hidden close to him, why don't I allow him to search him." ”

Chen Nian smiled and said, "Don't do too much in everything, since he is willing to be the first to stand up and give us money, how can he make an example for the people behind him." Besides, he took out a lot of silver, and it was enough to buy him alone, so we should not be too greedy. This is the best, we have gained some benefits from him, and he also feels that he has taken advantage of us, and the two sides are satisfied, the best and the best. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Xiao Monkey laughed even more: "It's still the big boss who can calculate, obviously we robbed them, and they still think that they have taken advantage of themselves." ”

Jing Yuxuan has been sitting on a high place, snorted coldly disdainfully when he heard the words, and said: "There are so many people who don't have any flesh, even if they are scared by more than ten of you, they have been robbed of money by you in vain, and they still have to thank you for a thousand kindnesses, just because you didn't rob the money, what is the reason." Isn't it called robbery if you grab half of it? ”

Everyone was happy to get the money, and when they heard her suddenly say this, they all stopped talking, and looked at each other for a while, and no one knew how to respond. However, Chaoyangzi practiced medicine outside before, and he saw a lot of such situations, so he couldn't help but reply: "Ordinary people are not like this, their temperament is as soft and deceitful as sheep, as long as they are not forced to live anymore, they don't know how to resist." It is rebellion, but whenever they get a small benefit, they are immediately satisfied, forgetting that the benefit should be theirs. ”

Jing Yuxuan was even more indignant when he heard this, "Just because everyone is this virtue, they can make people arbitrary, if they all pick up knives and fight hard, how can they end up like this." ”

Wen Daya listened to the two of them talking farther and farther away, and unconsciously interrupted the words of the two of them, and said: "Although we are doing this business, we also pay attention to harmony and wealth, and if we can see no blood, we will not see blood, so it is the best." After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Nian again, and asked with a smile: "Big boss, did you say yes?" ”

Chen Nian only smiled faintly and did not answer.

In the middle of the night, Chen Nian was sitting alone on the mountain rock in a daze, Lu Xiao came over and sat down beside her, looked at her sideways, and asked softly, "What's wrong." ”

Chen Nian replied, "I'm thinking about what happened today." It's clear that my things were snatched away by you, just because you gave me some back, not only will I not resent you, but I am still grateful to you, what is the reason. Why is this the case? ”

Lu Xiao pondered for a moment and replied, "Because you can't beat me." ”

Chen Nian couldn't help but smile, "Yes, to put it bluntly, it's because I can't beat you, and I'm afraid of power, so I have to do this." ”

She suddenly felt that her heart suddenly opened up, before she wanted to keep the word "morality", but she always felt powerless, so that she began to waver and doubt whether the "morality" she kept was correct. Now I know that it is not that the "morality" is wrong, but that she is not strong enough, not strong enough to protect this "morality".

Chen Nian stood up from the rock, turned around and looked down at Lu Xiao, and said with a smile: "Now that I think about it, talking about the word 'morality' is like a joke, I have morality in my heart, and I need the ability to maintain your morality." ”

Although Lu Xiao didn't understand why there was suddenly more dazzling brilliance in her eyes, he could see that she was so radiant, but he was happy for her from the bottom of his heart, and he wanted to protect the bright smile on her face. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little enthusiastic and heartbeat, and he was a little afraid to look at her, so he turned his head as if to hide it, and looked at the undulating mountains in the night.

Chen Nian looked at him like this, sat down beside him, and asked him, "Do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

Who knew that Lu Xiao was just silent, didn't say anything to answer, and refused to even look at her.

Chen Nian frowned unconsciously, and said, "Lu Xiao, speak." ”

Lu Xiao glanced sideways at her, and suddenly asked, "Xie Chennian, do you still like Feng Junyang." ”

Chen Nian didn't want him to ask this suddenly, and was slightly stunned.

Lu Xiao couldn't wait for her answer, as if he was a little impatient, and said, "Xie Chennian, answer." ”

Chen Nian thought for a moment before replying, "I don't know." After she answered, she felt depressed again, and couldn't help glaring at Lu Xiao, "Can you not open any pot and mention which pot." Ask him what he does. I've been able to stop thinking about him these days, and you're annoying again. ”

Hearing her say this, Lu Xiao grinned at her and said, "When do you feel that you don't like him in the future, remember to talk to me." ”

Chen Nian felt that Lu Xiao was really weird, and said strangely: "Tell you what to do." ”

Lu Xiao didn't answer, only smiled and shook his head. Chen Nian only thought that he was deliberately selling Guanzi, so he didn't ask anymore. The two sat side by side in the night for a while, Lu Xiao suddenly touched Chen Nian lightly with his shoulder, and said softly: "Someone from behind has come to look for you." ”

Chen Nian turned around and saw Cui Xi walking slowly this way. She thought for a moment, stood up and greeted her, and asked, "Something." ”
