The distance between the county town and the county town is relatively long, there are mountains, forests and rivers, there are many snakes, insects and beasts, and of course, robbers.

Some robbers are forced by life to fight the autumn wind, quite amateurish, but some robbers are professional, Lin Xiao is eyeing professional robbers, most of the amateur robbers are external forging, the highest is internal training, and there are even ordinary people who have only practiced a few hands and feet.

"My lord, it's the first time I've come out to rob the road, there are old and young, so you can let me go as a fart. "A man with five big and three thick kneels shrunk into a ball, crying and begging, it was really sad for those who heard it, and those who heard it wept.

"I can't let out a fart of your size. Lin Xiao was unmoved: "You are quite familiar with this set of rhetoric, how many times have you done it?"

"...... My lord...... My lord...... It's the first time I've come out to rob the road, but I kicked the iron plate and met you......" The big man almost said that he leaked his mouth, and he had to react smartly and quickly woke up, insisting that he was robbing the road for the first time.

"Alright, alright. Lin Xiao smiled, this strong man looked at the five big and three thick, in fact, he was an ordinary person with some strength, not even external forging: "It's not impossible to spare your life......"

"My lord, please say what you want, I can do it with my little life. The strong man hurriedly responded, his chest pounding.

"Take me to Heijiao Village. Lin Xiao's words suddenly made the man's face change drastically, and he pretended to be dead directly, and his voice burst into tears: "My lord, just pity me......

"You only have two choices, die here or lead the way. Lin Xiao's voice was suddenly full of coldness.

"Don't, Heijiaozhai will definitely not let me go. The big man screamed.

Black Jiaozhai!

The first URL

This is the only bandit village between Luoyang County and Liancang County, or a water village, and the rest of the bandit villages have been destroyed or subdued by Heijiao Village, so there are quite a lot of masters in Heijiao Village, and they are dominant, like a nail nailed in the lake, which is difficult to destroy.

Although Lin Xiao knew the existence of Heijiao Village, he didn't know where the specific location was, so he had to find someone who knew to lead the way, otherwise he would have to spend a lot of time looking for it slowly.

"You only need to take me to a place where you can see the Black Jiao Village, you don't need to take me into the village. Lin Xiao added, and the strong man suddenly thought about it.

If you don't bring it, you may die here, and if you bring it, you may die afterwards, so bring it.

It's a big deal to leave here as soon as you finish leading the way and go away from home.

That's it.

Although this man has no cultivation, his strength is not weak, his muscles and bones are also strong, and the most important thing is that he has been mixed for many years, and he is quite familiar with this area, so he not only knows the famous name of Heijiao Village, but also knows where Heijiao Village is located.

After bending around, he finally came to the edge of a big lake, and the man hid in the grass and pointed to the left: "The black Jiaozhai is there, you see, my lord, this is the one." ”

Lin Xiao's eyesight is much better than that of a strong man, so he can see the outline of a water village on the lake, standing by the mountains and rivers.

"Alright, let's go. Lin Xiao chuckled: "But don't do any more robbing in the future, it's hard to guarantee that one day if you meet a ruthless person, your life will be gone." ”

"Thank you, sir...... Thank you, sir......" The strong man kowtowed again and again, got up, turned around and left quickly.

Looking at the back of the other party's departure, a smile hung on the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth, the feeling of doing good deeds without leaving a name, a thief is cool, but this will have to think about how to cross the water and enter Heijiao Village.

I'm not a top martial arts master, I can't tread water, I have to have tools like a boat.

......

The strong man ran wildly all the way, and he had already made up his mind, and listened to Lin Xiao's suggestion, he couldn't do this kind of robbery work anymore, otherwise he really accidentally met a ruthless lord one day, and it was really useless to call the earth and the earth to be unhappy every day, and it was useless to beg hard, and he would be killed directly.

After running a long way, the strong man stopped panting, raised his hand to wipe the sweat, habitually touched his pocket, and suddenly touched something, took it out and saw that it was a folded piece of paper, and then opened it to see, it turned out to be a silver ticket.

One hundred taels!

A silver ticket with a face value of one hundred taels!

The strong man's eyes suddenly widened.

One hundred taels, that's not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family of four to live in a small place for two or three years, if you are saving some money, it will not be a problem for four or five years, even if you spend more, it will not be a problem for a year.

The strong man suddenly turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to the place he came from, and burst into tears.

With this one hundred taels of silver, you can get a job by yourself, and there is no problem in supporting your family.

......

Why didn't Lin Xiao give a thousand taels and only a hundred taels?

Because there is no don't give so much, for an ordinary person, one hundred taels of silver is enough, and you can't give the other party enough money to eat and drink spicy food, even if you are suffering from any disease, one hundred taels of silver is normal and enough, a man, with hands, feet, limbs and limbs, and a body of strength, with the one hundred taels of silver by his side, whether he is looking for a job or doing a small business, at least there is a guarantee.

Do-it-yourself, with plenty of food and clothing, Lin Xiao simply made a small boat, saying that it was a small boat, but in fact, it was cut and split with wood, and then tied up with vines, and finally formed a raft about one meter wide and about two meters long, and then put some branches and leaves next to it to increase buoyancy, and a simple raft did just that.

Putting it into the water, it didn't sink, Lin Xiao tried to stand up, the raft sank slightly, but fortunately, it was still able to float, so that he could cross the lake through this raft and go to Heijiao Village.

The speed of the raft was not fast, and Lin Xiao had no choice but to cross the lake slowly, fortunately the lake water did not flow urgently, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

The closer he got to the Black Jiao Village, the more clearly Lin Xiao could see that the Black Jiao Village was established by the mountains and rivers, which can be said to be leaning against the foot of the mountain and standing on the surface of the lake on the other hand, and the mountain peak was very rugged, it was impossible to come down from the mountain at all, according to that rugged degree, at least the martial arts master had to take action to be safe and sound, otherwise the real martial artist might fall to death if he was not careful.

In this way, Heijiao Village has a natural geographical advantage, or this is one of the reasons why Heijiao Village has not been exterminated.

Of course, these are just Lin Xiao's personal speculations, what are the reasons for it, it is not clear, in the world, it is not as simple as black and white, there is also gray, for example, there are gangs in the county, are gangs a good thing?

In essence, it is not, he has to collect money from merchants, so that the merchants have to share a part of their profits every month to reduce their profits, but are gangs bad? Not necessarily, gangs collect money, they have to be responsible for the merchants, so that no one can make trouble.

Good and bad, sometimes there is no such absolute, it is impossible to kill everyone with a stick, this, Lin Xiao is watching, seeing with his own eyes, experiencing and experiencing it himself, and then keeping it in his heart bit by bit, accumulating enough, it will come naturally, then you can understand.

There are many boats parked under the black Jiao village, some are more than ten meters long, some are three or four meters long, and there are also people patrolling next to the village.

"Crossbow!" Lin Xiao's pupils suddenly froze.

There are crossbow arrows in Heijiaozhai, crossbow arrows are forbidden weapons in the army, without permission, they are not allowed to be owned privately, generally that is, the city guard department and the army will be equipped, and even the crossbow arrows equipped in the city guard department are the kind retired in the army, or the short crossbow level, that is, the lowest level of crossbow, which can only threaten the kind of internal martial arts practitioners.

Some killers will also get crossbow arrows and so on, but a bandit village has them, and there are more than one or two, which is not simple.

At a glance, Lin Xiao saw that there were ten people with crossbow arrows patrolling, very solemn, and then, these bandits with crossbow arrows also found Lin Xiao who was approaching, and immediately raised their hands to aim at Lin Xiao.

"Who are you?" one of the bandits asked aloud.

"Stop, stop, don't blame us for being rude. ”

Lin Xiao smiled, this bandit is a bit interesting, it seems that the discipline is relatively strict.

"I admired Heijiaozhai, and I heard that Heijiaozhaiism was Bo Yuntian, and I came to take refuge. Lin Xiao didn't pause the raft, and responded with a smile while slowly cruising closer.

"Stop, or don't blame us for not having long eyes on our crossbow arrows. The bandits were slightly surprised, but they didn't doubt it, after all, the people who came to take refuge were not one or two, they had all become their own brothers, as for what to say to exterminate the bandits, what a big joke.

This is a black Jiaozhai village, who dares to exterminate it alone, isn't it looking for death?

But for the sake of prudence, they still had to let Lin Xiao stop the raft, this was the rule.

Lin Xiao still didn't stop the raft, but continued to move forward, silently calculating the distance, the right distance, and guessing that he could use his skills and rush to the village at once.

The faces of the ten bandits suddenly changed greatly, and they did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and ten crossbow arrows immediately flew through the air, one by one, the crossbow arrows tore through the air, and in Lin Xiao's eyes, they brought up white ripples one after another, crossed the ten trajectories, and accurately locked themselves.

Crossbow arrows are easier to handle than bows and arrows, but they also require some training to get the hang of them, which is enough to show that these ten bandits are not novices.

Lin Xiao didn't draw his sword, but his body shook slightly, avoiding the shooting of ten crossbow arrows, and he got closer to the water village.

"Someone, someone is attacking the village. Seeing that Lin Xiao actually avoided the shooting of ten crossbow arrows, the faces of the ten bandits changed suddenly, knowing that they must not be ordinary martial artists, they immediately shouted loudly, and soon, more than a dozen bandits rushed over, staring at Lin Xiao one by one.

Immediately afterwards, a slender man appeared beside the stockade with a brisk step, like a silent cat walking, carrying a strong attack more than a meter long and a pot of twelve black feathered arrows on his back.

"It's really fun. With a chuckle, the man moved elegantly but quickly to take off the attack from behind, opened his bow and arrows, and aimed directly at Lin Xiao.
