Chapter 2 Encounter with the Thieves at Night
The caravan, unable to brave the scorching sun and wind and sand in the desert can only go out day and night, it is close to dusk when the journey starts, according to the prediction of the Chang army, the caravan will enter the sphere of influence of a very famous bandit group in the desert tonight, therefore, everyone's face is more or less with a touch of worry, of course, Dugu Yi is not among them, he is by no means the object of interest to the thieves.
There are more than 20 mercenary teams in the Chang army, and they are not the only mercenary teams in this caravan, there are also five mercenary teams with weaker forces, and the six mercenary teams together have more than 100 people, plus merchants and more than ten carts of goods, there is no way for a team of this size to escape the eyes of thieves.
In the center of the procession, Dugu Yi and Haiyan sat in the back of a carriage carrying goods, while Changjun and Huanming rode on the left and right sides of the carriage.
Dugu Yi hugged his head and leaned on the goods to take a nap after it got dark, but at this time, he suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to Haiyan, and asked lightly, "What will you do when you encounter bandits?"
"Huh?"
Because Dugu Yi asked suddenly, Haiyan didn't react for a while.
"What will you do if you encounter bandits?" Dugu Yi asked again.
This time, Haiyan heard Dugu Yi's question clearly, but she was silent for a while before replying: "It depends on the strength of the other party first, if they are weaker or comparable than us, then we will talk about it after the fight; ”
"Hehe!" Dugu Yi chuckled and lay back in his original position, not making any comments on Haiyan's words.
"Hey!" Haiyan gently pushed Dugu Yi's shoulders and asked with a serious face, "Do you look down on us?"
"Nope. Dugu Yi closed his eyes and said lightly: "What you did is very correct, for this world, in the world of the jungle, naturally you can only bully the weak." ”
"You ......," Haiyan tilted her head to the side in annoyance at the last of the boy's smile and words.
Chang Jun on horseback very clearly captured the last contemptuous smile on Dugu Yi's face, but he saw it more deeply than Haiyan, this young man was not so much contemptuous of mercenaries as he was not used to this world.
"You seem to hate the world?"
After listening to Chang Jun's words, Dugu Yi sat up and looked at Chang Jun with his only left eye for a while before saying, "I just don't like it." ”
"Isn't it different?" Changjun couldn't understand the difference between 'hating' and 'disliking'.
"Will it be the same?" Dugu Yi asked calmly.
Chang Jun shook his head and smiled and gave up arguing with Dugu Yi, and instead said, "I really doubt your age, because what you say is difficult to understand. ”
Dugu Yi shook his head and sighed in his unique green voice: "A person's age does not mean anything, what he has seen and experienced is what causes him to change and mature." ”
Changjun was speechless to refute.
At this moment, countless fires lit up on the sand dunes in the distance at the same time, and it was like a wall blocking the front of the caravan, and as a result, the whole caravan suddenly became noisy.
"Thieves!"
"Horse thief!"
"......" all kinds of panicked voices rang out in the caravan.
The caravan stopped advancing, and everyone waited with their backs to their vehicles and pale faces to be surrounded by a large group of thieves.
The sparks on the dunes lit up after a pause before surrounding the caravan, which numbered in the hundreds of torches, and behind them there were still many thieves with torches eyeing the caravan.
"Petrel. Chang Jun called Haiyan's name while looking at Dugu Yi.
"Leave me alone. Dugu Yi also understood that Chang Jun wanted Haiyan to stay here to take care of him, so he preemptively said, "I know what to do, and these thieves won't be interested in me." ”
Hearing Dugu Yi say this, Chang Jun changed his words and said, "Then you wait for me here, Haiyan and Huanming will go to the front with me." ”
"Hmm!" Haiyan and Huanming nodded and ran to the front of the caravan with Chang Jun.
As soon as the thieves appeared, the mercenaries quickly showed their weapons and set up a posture waiting for the thieves to approach, although all of them were combined, the number of them was less than half of the other party, although they were afraid and their bodies were trembling, but since they had taken other people's money, they had to do something, even if it was just to fill it up.
When the three Chang soldiers came to the front of the caravan, more than 200 horse thieves had already surrounded the caravan like a cloth bag, because they had the upper hand, they did not immediately plunder the caravan, but all the horse thieves looked at the goods on the car with greedy eyes.
"Huh......" A bald man with a full beard jumped off his horse, whipped at the wagon loaded with goods, and shouted: "Here, who is in charge?"
Hearing the sound, an old man with a small bag trotted up to meet him, and explained respectfully: "Uncle, this is a piece of work that our many small businessmen put together, and the car is loaded with some cheap goods that do not have much profit, please make it convenient for the villain to pass through." ”
The old man said and handed the bag in his hand to the big man.
When the big man opened the bag, a suspicious smile appeared on his face, and the horsewhip slapped the old man on the shoulder twice, and said: "You only cost three hundred gold coins for this shot, and you even said that the things in the car are worthless, and it is not so easy to deceive our brothers." ”
"Three hundred gold coins!" Chang Jun on the side exclaimed in his heart, hearing this amount, even he had the idea of falling into the grass, their mercenary team of twenty-five escorts could only get a commission of one hundred gold coins, even if it was evenly distributed, each person could only get four gold coins.
"How dare the villain deceive the uncle. The old man waved his hand again and again, and pointed to the bag containing the gold coins and said, "These three hundred gold coins are already the price of our people and all the goods, if you don't believe it, you can check our car." ”
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. The big man smiled at the old man and waved his arm. "Brothers, be careful, don't break everything. ”
When the thieves heard the news, they rushed to the wagon full of goods, regardless of whether they would damage them.
"What can you do now?" a green voice sounded behind Chang Jun.
When Chang Jun heard this familiar voice, he turned around and saw Dugu Yi, who came to them at some point, looking at him with interest.
"Why did you get here? Didn't you ask you to wait for us in the back?" said Haiyan, slightly reproachful.
"What's the difference between here and there?" Dugu Yi replied with his usual rhetorical question.
"There really is no difference. Chang Jun shook his head helplessly, as long as he moved, this young man who had no ability to resist would be in danger no matter where he was.
Huan Ming also approached Dugu Yi at this time, bent down and whispered in his ear: "The strength of this thief group, you have also seen, it's not that we don't want to protect the employer, it's just that the other party is too strong, we can't do anything at all, and the employer himself has already given up resistance." ”
Dugu Yi looked at Huanming, then turned his gaze to the thieves riding on horseback a few meters away, and said: "That's why I don't like this kind of world, as long as you have enough force, you can do whatever you want, right and wrong are not distinguished, good and evil are unknown, violence has become the guarantee of everything, such a world, it is better to destroy ......"
"That car ......can't be touched," the old man's anxious shout not only made Dugu Yi unable to finish his words, but also attracted everyone's attention smoothly. The old man ran to a four-wheeled carriage in a panic, and raised his arm to stop the two thieves in front of the car, but it was too late.
"Shhh
The curtain of the car that had just been lifted fell again without pause, and the two thieves who had gone to lift the curtain fell to the ground without even seeing what was in the car, blood flowing from their chests and seeping into the sand.
"Martial Sect powerhouse!"
Chang Jun looked at the carriage fixedly, the expression on his face was both surprised and confused, and he was shocked and respectful, and he didn't know that there were such powerful characters in the caravan.
Cultivators improve their strength and enhance their strength by cultivating the 'Yuan Force' in their bodies, of course, people are not born with Yuan Force, and with Yuan Force, they enter the realm called 'Martial Disciple', and after cultivating to the ninth level of Martial Disciple, they will advance to the 'First-level Martial Artist', followed by Martial Master, Martial Sect, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Martial Zun, Martial Saint, a total of nine levels, each level is divided into nine levels.
As Dugu Yi said, in this world where violence solves problems, only if you have a strong force can you protect your life and property from infringement, so cultivating Yuan Li to become a strong person has become the goal that people are pursuing, and this Wu Yuan Continent is a world where the strong are respected.
