Chapter 222 [Black Wind Chamber of Commerce VS Huo Family "Bandit"]
"Sort of. Steward Pang nodded, and the black shadow disappeared.
The black shadow came and went faster, and it could be said that his speed was almost so fast that even Steward Pang couldn't catch it.
However, Steward Pang had dealt with this black shadow a lot, and he was already accustomed to this situation, so he was not very surprised.
Under his arrangement, it didn't take long for seven or eight servants to come over and pack up the things in the living room. Afterwards, Steward Pang also went back to his room to rest.
After a night of speechlessness, through full cultivation, Shi Wuji's physical strength has also reached its peak, especially some recent combat experience, which has been digested a lot by him.
came to the predetermined place to gather, and it didn't take long for them to gather together and come to the outside of Dongzhou City through a secret passage of the Linghu family.
After walking out of the secret passage, the seven of them were already dressed as ordinary businessmen, especially Ling Hu Qitian, who had two locks of small black beards pasted on, looking like a middle-aged uncle.
If he appeared in the Linghu family in this way, he would definitely be laughed at, but now he was definitely dressed as a serious eight hundred caravan leader.
It's just that the things transported by the Chamber of Commerce this time are particularly important, so the Chamber of Commerce only sent a few of their most core personnel.
There are hundreds of kilometers of road from Dongzhou City to Jindong City, and it probably takes less than a day according to their footsteps. However, there is still a valley to pass through between them entering the realm of Jindong City.
This valley, known locally as Tiger Cry Gorge, is a place frequented by bandits and wanted criminals. Therefore, Tiger Screaming Gorge is also the place where merchants are most vigilant.
But there is also a benefit to this Tiger Leaping Gorge, so just pass through here. Under normal circumstances, you don't need to spend the night outside to get to Jindong Castle, so even here is very dangerous. There will also be quite a few caravans passing through here.
Now Shi Wuji and the others arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge at noon.
The origin of the so-called Tiger Leaping Gorge is because this canyon is twisted and twisted, like a tiger roaring in the sky, so the locals call this place the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
However, as soon as they reached this point, they saw that a caravan had stopped at the entrance to Tiger Leaping Gorge to rest.
You know, as soon as you enter the Tiger Leaping Gorge, there is grass and canyons everywhere. The terrain is dangerous, and there is a possibility that bandits can be infested at any time. Therefore, many caravans will not choose to rest in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, but find a place to camp near the entrance of the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
In this way, after the large army enters the Tiger Leaping Gorge, it can speed up and pass through that dangerous area.
"Who are you?" Just as Shi Wuji and the others approached the caravan in front, a big man suddenly called them out.
Although this big man is not very tall, he also looks like two meters four or five, which is at least a head taller than Shi Wuji and the others. His cultivation realm has reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Martial Master, and he can be regarded as having some clamor capital.
And judging from the position of the caravan he was in, he should not be the strongest in this caravan. It can be seen that this caravan should be the property under the name of a big family.
"Don't be so nervous. A few of us are from the Dongzhou City Chamber of Commerce, and here is my waist card!" Linghu Qitian said, and handed over his token.
After taking the token, the big man looked at it carefully before saying, "I didn't expect to meet people from Dongzhou City here." We are from the Jin Kingdom, and this time we are going to Jindongcheng to exchange a batch of goods, if you are willing, you can travel with us. ”
This big man is not wordy. Directly invited.
"Well, in that case. Then we'll bother, here is our toll. "Generally with a large caravan. Those with fewer people will pay a protection fee.
Although the strength of several of them was stronger than the entire caravan, Linghu Qitian didn't want to add to the wrong, so he paid his protection fee in advance.
After looking at the red token in his hand, the big man smiled and said, "You guys are quite smart, you just follow behind that guard, and then you can say what I said, remember that my name is Qian Jing." ”
After Qian Jing finished speaking, he looked towards the rest of the caravan.
"Hmph, Qian Jing, I think he has lost his money. "These people are all disciples of the big family, when have they been wronged like this. However, since Linghu Qitian didn't say anything, they didn't have a good seizure.
came to the side of this guard and explained what Qian Jing said, this guard nodded, and pretended to arrange a few vacant seats for them. This will also allow them to follow along.
After a few hundred breaths of rest, the caravan began to set off again.
At this time, Shi Wuji walked up to the guard and said, "Big brother, where did you come from?"
Shi Wuji took out a pack of Strong Body Pill from his pocket and handed it over.
Although the Strengthening Pill is not a good thing, for a martial artist, the Strengthening Pill is also a good thing that can quickly recover his physical strength, especially if he uses it to please the relationship, it is definitely a sharp weapon.
Now this guard saw that Shi Wuji actually handed over a package of things. When he opened it, he saw that it was a good pack of strong body pills, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"We are from Pudong City in the Jin Kingdom, and we are going to Jindong City to exchange a batch of goods. It is said that the buyer is very mysterious, and I don't know what exactly is being exchanged. "This guard has received the benefits of Shi Wuji, so he naturally has to sell some strength.
"Oh?" Hearing the guard's words, Shi Wuji probably thought of something, so he continued to ask, "Then what kind of chamber of commerce are you?"
"Our Chamber of Commerce is the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce, you are from the Xuanguo Kingdom, you may not know about our Chamber of Commerce, but if it is really the Jin Kingdom, when it comes to the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that everyone knows about it, and no one knows it. As soon as the guard mentioned the name of his chamber of commerce, he became excited again.
"Sure enough, it's the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce, it seems that we stumbled into the mission by mistake this time. However, the road ahead is likely to be even more dangerous. Shi Wuji and Linghu Qitian glanced at each other, chatted with the guard about something, and followed the caravan into the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
"Huhuhu......"
One enters the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Then I heard the sound of the howling wind.
In the midst of this wind, there is still a trace of crazy energy flowing non-stop. It sounded like a tiger roaring.
"Hmm? Why? As they walked, suddenly the whole procession of a hundred men suddenly stopped. Shi Wuji frowned slightly, looked into the distance, and saw that another team of black pressure had appeared in front of him. But these people are not good things, but robbers.
"The bandits are coming......" At this time, Shi Wuji heard this guard show extremely excited eyes. This made Shi Wuji suddenly stunned, not knowing why he was so excited.
When Shi Wuji looked around, he found that not only this guard seemed very excited, but even the other guards were very happy after seeing the bandits. Not the timid expression of the Xuanguo caravan guard.
"Are you alright?" Shi Wuji asked, thinking that the guard was stupid.
"I, of course I'm fine, I'm afraid you don't know, our Black Wind Chamber of Commerce's favorite is the bandits, every time the thieves are killed, it will increase the reputation of our Chamber of Commerce by a few points, and now that these bandits are out looking for death, we naturally can't let them go." With that, the surrounding guards began to move the carts toward the center of the caravan. There were even some of the guards who had already drawn their weapons and were ready to rush to the front of the caravan to fight.
"Let's go and have a look. Linghu Qitian waved his hand, and a few of them followed some guards to the front of the team.
"What, is this still a bandit?" saw the bandits. Shi Wuji and the others were also a little speechless.
You must know that it is not bad for ordinary bandits to have hundreds of people, and the strength of these bandits is still uneven. But almost all of these bandits in front of him are the cultivation of the Heavenly Warrior or above, and the leading One Thief King is the cultivation of the half-step Heavenly Martial Venerable. Besides. Beside him, there were almost a dozen bandit leaders who had been cultivated by the Heavenly Martial Master. The number of some small bosses is even more numerous.
Although the lineup of this caravan is strong enough, the strength of the bandits is no worse than theirs.
See these bandits. The big leader of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly smiled and said: "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to greet me like this, but it's nothing, although you don't like me to exchange that batch of goods, but I'm already here, and there is no reason to go back, so I think you are here in vain, at most just a few more people." ”
"Hmph, Qian is prosperous, your Qian family doesn't stay well in the Jin Kingdom, but you want to come to our Jindong City, is it just to exchange our batch of goods? Let me tell you, he Huo Qidong promised you, and our master didn't agree, so if you want to pass from here today, you either kill all of us, or, we will kill you all, there is no second choice at all, if you want to die, come here." Huo Zhiyan said very disdainfully.
In his opinion, what he brought this time was the elite of the Huo family, if he couldn't kill these people who didn't know what to do, then he would really live in vain.
But what he didn't understand was that there seemed to be an obvious difference between the people of the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce and the people of the ordinary Chamber of Commerce. If the guards of the ordinary Chamber of Commerce would instinctively be afraid when they saw the bandits, the people of the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce had an instinctive excitement. This was a clear reversal of his understanding.
"Hahaha, Huo Zhiyan, I'm afraid you don't know, the reason why our Black Wind Chamber of Commerce started is mainly by killing bandits, and our Black Wind Chamber of Commerce will also have a very comprehensive reward and punishment system for the number of guards killing bandits, so your appearance is also when these guards enhance the status of the Chamber of Commerce, do you think they will be excited?" Qian Fanhua said with a playful face.
"What, the status in the Chamber of Commerce is determined by the number of bandits killed? This reward and punishment system is indeed a bit interesting, but even so, what can it be? We are fighting for strength, not luck, so you still have to die here today, kill!" With Huo Zhiyan's order, all the bandits began to form various small formations and rushed into the caravan.
