Chapter 229: Dark Whistle
If the other party has a good attitude, he will do business normally, and if he has a bad attitude and upset himself, he will simply cut it in one go, and then set fire to a white expanse that is really clean.
This logic is similar to the heroic man who walks the rivers and lakes, in reality it is the way to die, if you keep taking this as a criterion, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Unless the backstage is as big as a living person trampling on an ant's nest, no matter how you cause trouble, you can settle it with one hand.
However, if you just use such a trick against the weak chickens, there is no problem.
Even if there is really a nobleman behind this group of weak chickens as the big boss in the background, it is easy not to offend another nobleman for a few "watchdogs".
For the aristocracy, of course, other nobles should be respected first, and secondly, wealthy merchants, scholars, craftsmen, mages and warriors among the commoners should also be respected, but the degree is often lower.
An upright warrior is just that, like this kind of gray business, even if he is a strong man, he will hardly be looked down upon by the nobles.
Just do it, Luo Ming didn't even have to go back to the territory to find a bodyguard, went out of the gate of the city of Vanshei, and rode his horse directly in the direction pointed out by the slave trader.
Although the cultivation of the swordsman is far from being rampant in the world, for the ordinary wild thieves or something, the swordsman is a real big man, and there is no need to worry about anything.
Idle is also idle, and halfway through, Luo Ming began to practice energy vision again.
If you don't deliberately hide the energy you emit together, then no matter how skilled the visual concealment is, it will still be okay - so energy vision is a powerful trick against ambushes and assassins.
Of course, ordinary assassins and spies will not hide this too much...... Although energy can be perceived by others to some extent, how can the rare and extraordinary ability of energy vision be so intuitive?
Cao Cao Cao said that Cao Cao Cao did not find any humanoid creatures in the bushes that looked suspicious at first glance, only a vole, but a little energy came from the inside of a big tree.
Luo Ming slowed down his horse steps, looked carefully, and had to admire the other party's subtlety in concealment.
More than three meters above the ground, there was an observation hole in the bark of the tree, and it is estimated that the other party had hollowed out the center of a certain part of the tree and then drilled into it. There are fine foliage that swayed from time to time next to the observation hole, and there is even a bird's nest in which the birds can more or less attract the attention of others and dispel some of their suspicions.
"Ah, is it the shaking of the leaves? or the movement of the birds, it's so cute~" Someone will be deceived like this.
Luo Ming pretended to be aware, but he was not very sure, looked around left and right, and then rode forward - if he could make a business, he didn't want to stiffen the relationship, so it was better not to deliberately expose the other party's secret whistle.
After all, it must be very hard to set up such a secret whistle, and as a good person, he has to respect the labor of others.
From the direction of the dark whistle came a flute that resembled the chirping of a bird, and he didn't pay any attention.
It didn't take long for him to reach a half-deserted mansion.
It may have been inhabited by an aristocratic lord hundreds of years ago, but now, half of the rooms have collapsed, and the cost of repairing is no cheaper than building a new one, so it has been completely abandoned here, and finally reduced to the residence of a group of outlaws.
After receiving the signal of the whistle of the secret whistle just now, three people have already been armed and ready for battle, I am afraid that there are many more people in the room with weapons and equipment, if the situation is not good, they will kill them or release arrows from the house.
It's no wonder that they are vigilant - Luo Ming rode a tall horse and carried a sword, and although he was only wearing leather armor, he must have been strange to come alone to this remote place.
In other words, nowadays, ordinary leather armor or something has a very limited effect on him, and wearing it is mainly used to scare the ignorant weak. Some robbers are so weak that they can't perceive the other party's powerful aura at all, and if Luo Ming only wears cloth clothes and rides a horse, he will inevitably be regarded as a rich second generation of waste wood who sneaks out to play alone.
Of course, he is not afraid of bandits, but he is afraid of trouble - this kind of thing is not good for the heart when he is often attacked when he walks on the road, just like normal people will be annoyed by the steady stream of small flying insects, although the ten thousand small flying insects cannot cause substantial harm to humans.
If you wear leather armor, it shows that you are a person with combat effectiveness, and the weakest kind of lower three bandits have to weigh whether they have the ability to take him down.
On the way here just now, Luo Ming observed what traces were on the ground—not only horseshoe prints and ordinary footsteps, but also the ruts of the wheels, and more than once back and forth—it seemed that the slave trader had not deceived people, although there was a group of murderers living here, they had done a lot of communication with the outside world, and they were not afraid of being known by ordinary people.
One thing is certain, they are not robbers who have no money to buy and sell, but real businessmen. Even the gray business of catching and trading slaves is much better than buying and selling without capital.
Luo Ming could kill them and set them on fire, but if they had nothing to do with the slave trade, and were just a group of bandits who spread rumors to lure people to the bait, even if they were killed, Luo Ming's time back and forth would be a complete waste.
"Who are you!" Luo Ming was thinking about it, when a loud shout came from the opposite side, and a strong man pulled out a big bow and aimed at Luo Ming's side.
Although there was some vigilance in his voice, it was not to the point of disgusting outsiders, and it seemed that the other party also wanted to do business.
However, the big bow still made Luo Ming can't help but take a second look.
The bow itself was not enchanted, the arrows were not magic arrows, and there weren't even expensive materials used, but the sheer size of the bow itself made it strong.
If an arrow is sent out within a distance of ten meters, even the swordsman's Dou Qi shield has a high chance of shooting through - although there is only one chance for this arrow, dodging an arrow and then crossing ten meters to kill the enemy, even Luo Ming, a high-level swordsman, can do it.
This is an extreme weapon, and Luo Ming can just look at it - the long-range weapon he has prepared for his future is a large-caliber musket or simply a small-caliber field gun, which is unparalleled in the world when it comes to extremes.
If it was something powerful that could equip an army on a large scale, he would have been interested in it for a while.
He replied that he was a slave purchaser, and casually reopened the energy vision and glanced around.
At this moment, he found a more interesting existence.
