Chapter 10: Bandits

How much Xuan'er is worth is an interesting topic.

Judging from its ability to subdue these wolves, it is naturally not a sacred object that can be bought at an ordinary price.

But for Xu Han, Xuan'er's price is not determined by these, Xuan'er has been with him for so many years, don't say that Xuan'er is unique now, that is, Xuan'er is just an ordinary black cat, and Xu Han will not use it to make any deals.

Xu Han didn't have many things.

And it is precisely because he has too little, so he will protect everything with his life.

So he shook his head at that point and responded, "You can't afford it." ”

Of course, he is grateful to Liu Sheng, and he really regards Liu Sheng as his friend, but this does not mean that he will give Xuan'er away or sell it as a commodity. Both are equally important to Xu Han.

Such an answer was expected by Liu Sheng, and he smiled smiling, unimpressed.

"You know me?" he asked, dispelling the question in turn.

"Naturally. Xu Han nodded.

And at this time, the people who finally came back from the change of the demon wolf hurriedly packed up the goods on the ground, as for the demon pill in that place, after asking Liu Sheng's meaning, Boss Gan put it into a small alley, Xuan'er jumped in with excitement when he saw this, squinting his eyes and sending these demon pills into his mouth one after another as if eating.

"Tell me, who am I?" Liu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he asked as he looked at Xu Han.

......

On the second day, with a feeling of apprehension or unease, the group marched towards the center of the Antler Plains again, but the relationship between the people in the team quietly changed because of yesterday's events.

The big man named Liu Sheng was naturally still sitting in the only carriage of the caravan, but the crowd faintly changed to a posture led by the black cat standing on his shoulder.

"Boss, did you say that monster is one of those bandits?" With a fluke thought, Hu Ma walked up to Zhen Yue and asked in a low voice.

Zhen Yue shook his head when he heard this, "He said no." ”

The person she was referring to was naturally Xu Han, and when she heard this, Hu Ma looked up at the back of the young man in front of her, thinking that she was inexplicably a little weak in her previous rudeness.

"Boss, this kid is a little wicked. He spoke again in a calm voice.

Who knew that these words attracted Zhen Yue's fierce glare, and she said: "Control your broken mouth, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth!"

Huma suddenly lost his arrogance, shrunk his head and retreated.

"Half a day's journey to the center of Antlers Plain. Boss Gan, who was walking in front, looked up at the sky and turned around to speak.

Antler Plains is actually a long and narrow plain, and it is actually only four or five days away before and after crossing the Antler Plain, after driving away the wolves yesterday, Xu Han ordered Boss Gan to discard all the goods in situ, and now the boxes turned in these carriages are actually empty for a long time, and the carriage without the load is naturally much faster, and it is only half a day before it is about to arrive at the center of Antler Plain.

"Well, keep on your way. Xu Han nodded and said so.

When Boss Gan heard this, although his face was a little ugly, he didn't dare to disobey Xu Han's intentions after all, so he took everyone on the road.

Obviously, after the events of last night, Xu Han's prestige in everyone's hearts had reached the point where everyone didn't have the courage to refute his decision.

And when Boss Gan led everyone to hurry again, Xu Han looked at the backs of Boss Gan and the others, but his brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Are you worried about those bandits?" and Zhen Yue walked to Xu Han's side at that time and asked softly.

Xu Han, who was immersed in his thoughts, heard this, and glanced at Zhen Yue with a blink of an eye, but shook his head and didn't say much.

He wasn't lying, he wasn't thinking.

Yesterday, he told the other party everything he knew about Liu Sheng, but the other party's reaction made Xu Han a little disappointed.

He seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before Liu Sheng, he couldn't remember anything except his name, and even his younger brother and sister had forgotten it. If he hadn't finally taken out the dagger engraved with the word Han, Xu Han would almost have suspected that the person in front of him was just a guy who happened to have the same name and surname and was exactly the same as Liu Sheng.

Although the appearance of the dagger made Xu Han affirm the identity of the other party, the other party was extremely wary of Xu Han.

Last night's conversation ended in nothing.

As for what Liu Sheng has experienced over the years, he is obviously wary of Xu Han, and he is not far away from revealing that Xu Han naturally can't force him, so he can only give up for the time being, thinking that he will talk to the other party about it when he is here.

It's just that Xu Han's gloomy expression fell in Zhen Yue's eyes, and the other party didn't seem to believe Xu Han's attitude, and only thought that he was comforting himself.

Zhen Yue whispered at that time: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, maybe those bandits are really those demon wolves..."

This kind of speculation has always existed in Zhen Yue's mind since he saw those demon wolves' thirst for demon pills, but for some reason, Xu Han denied such speculation from the beginning.

Speaking again at this moment, Zhen Yue naturally has her own careful thoughts, she hopes that Xu Han can explain the reason why he is so sure that those demon wolves are not bandits, or can know a little bit of the identity of those bandits from Xu Han's mouth, so that she can be more or less prepared when the bandits arrive.

It's just that how can she hide this little bit of thought from Xu Han, Xu Han glanced at her sideways and said, "You want to know who those bandits are?"

Zhen Yue didn't have the vigilance she should have after being poked, she nodded, and looked straight at Xu Han.

"In fact, it makes no difference to you whether you know who the other person is or not. The only thing I can tell you isβ€”" Xu Han's eyebrows furrowed, and a voice spat out of his mouth at that time. "If you do encounter those bandits, don't think about anything. ”

"Run!"

......

Xu Han calculated carefully, if it was really as Zhen Yue said, every caravan that was looted was carrying this demon pill, and the number was about the same as that of Boss Gan this time.

Then the demon pill that has been added up to several murders before and after is probably an extremely expensive number, and such a huge number of demon pills, if all of them are obtained by the wolves, then the mutations they can produce must be far more simple than what they saw yesterday, and it is obvious that the existence of the wolves is likely to be because they got some of the demon pills plundered by those bandits by chance.

As for whether those bandits did it deliberately, or whether Xu Han was accidentally lost, I don't know.

And the true identity of those bandits, Xu Han combined with some news he had obtained from Ning Zhumang and others before, and there were some vague guesses in his heart, Xu Han also told Liu Sheng about such speculations, but I don't know for what purpose, Liu Sheng still stubbornly maintained his previous decision to cross the antlers.

Xu Han knew that because of his amnesia, the other party was wary of himself, and seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Xu Han could only go with him, but he was already secretly thinking about how to settle the matter.

As for reminding Zhen Yue and the others, it was just a effortless act of kindness to Xu Han, and he was willing to do such a thing, and even let Boss Gan unload the goods, hoping that when danger came, Boss Gan and his men would be able to escape from here quickly.

Maybe Xu Han himself never noticed it, as the master once said.

Under Xu Han's cold appearance, there is actually a heart that is far kinder than he imagined.

......

Soon night fell again on Antlers Plain.

The caravan stopped, and a bonfire was lit in the camp.

But everyone didn't have the slightest intention to sleep, this is already the center of the Antler Plain, and it is also the area where several caravans took place, Boss Gan intended to rush through here overnight, but Liu Sheng rejected the other party's proposal very harshly, Boss Gan was reluctant but did not dare to go against Liu Sheng's will, so he could only stay in place.

But in this situation, those guys, Zhen Yue and others obviously didn't feel sleepy, but they tensed their nerves one by one.

And Xu Han finally came back from Liu Sheng's move, Liu Sheng didn't want to hurry or anything else at all, he chose this caravan from the beginning to use the demon pill on their bodies as bait to lure those bandits to appear.

In fact, his plan can be described as a success.

After everyone had settled down for dinner, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance of the plain.

The people who were already taut on a string looked up at that time, but saw a row of figures in the distance suddenly appear on the horizon.

They walked as they walked, and their steps did not seem to be hurried, but their speed was surprisingly fast, and their appearance could already be seen clearly after only ten breaths.

Instead of imagining the bandits with swords and halberds, those who came were all handsome and calm in white robes and hairpins.

It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a bandit as a Confucian scholar.

"They?" Boss Gan frowned and turned his head to look at Xu Han beside him, trying to know some answers from the other party's mouth.

But Xu Han obviously ignored their thoughts, just took a step forward, and spit out a word that was the same as before: "Run!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't come back to their senses, but the group of white-robed Confucian students still walked up to everyone.

The Confucian scholar at the head swept over the cold-eyed crowd one by one, and finally raised his eyebrows and looked at the only carriage in the camp.

"Looks like this time, it's a big man?" said the Confucian scholar, but there was no surprise in his eyes. "I didn't expect that the Senluo Palace family had a great cause, and they would have to work so hard for these little demon pills..."

And the carriage slowly opened at that time, and Liu Sheng stepped out.

He walked up to the white-robed Confucian scholars, looked at each other as they looked at each other, and finally spoke in a deep voice.

"I can't imagine that the Taiyin Palace, which has always been known as the holy land of scholars, would do such a hurtful thing for the sake of some demon pills!"
