"This ......"

Suddenly hearing this question, several people were stunned at first, and then the partial general said,

"There used to be robbers here, but because of this station, they were all exterminated to ensure safety, and the few who survived fled here."

"I see."

Zhu Di nodded and said,

"So very good, the generals have to guard here, the post station has always been the most important place to transmit military information, it can be said that it is a great responsibility, and I have to thank you."

"His Royal Highness King Yan, please relax, your subordinates will be conscientious and defend here!"

The general, along with the three centurions, replied in unison.

Zhu Di listened, nodded with satisfaction, then took the horse from the post guard next to him, turned over on the horse, and left here with Zheng He.

On the road, Zheng He seemed quieter than before, but his bright eyes always paid attention to the movements around him, and he didn't mean to relax at all.

Zhu Di looked at him and said,

"Sanbao, don't be so nervous, didn't the defenders in the post station say that there are no bandits here."

"It is precisely because there is no longer that Sanbao is even more nervous."

Zheng He said softly,

"If there is a small group of bandits, then maybe the whistle just now was just an accident, and it may not have other purposes. But as the postman said, there should be no bandits here, but at this time, their whereabouts were discovered, which can only mean ......"

"They came here with a clear purpose,"

Hearing him say this, Zhu Di immediately understood,

"In addition, in addition to the post station here, it is you and me, and the post station is heavily guarded, but ordinary bandits can't successfully attack at all, so their target is likely to be you and me."

"Yes, Fourth Master, you're right."

Zheng He nodded again and again in agreement.

Zhu Di still couldn't believe it, thought about it and said,

"It's just that if you and I don't look like you and I can attract the attention of others at all, who can take the trouble to rob us? Unless they know my true identity, that's unlikely. ”

"yes, so it's really weird,"

Zheng He was also a little puzzled, and said,

"I hope we're overthinking."

"Well, it's better for us to hurry up."

As he spoke, Zhu Di urged the horses under his seat and accelerated the speed of his journey.

I didn't want to make it all the way, but it was safe and sound until it was getting late. With the lesson of the previous day, the master and servant felt that it was better not to wait until it was really dark to stay, so they found a nearby market town to prepare to stay. Fortunately, this time it was finally very smooth, not only did they find a very comfortable store, but Wu Pingwen did not come to hate it, and the two of them were able to rest well for the night.

The next morning, after settling the bill, Zheng He asked the shopkeeper in front of him,

"May I ask the second brother, what is the northeast direction?"

"Oh, you two are going to the Northeast, and further on, there is a mountain called Batailing, and through the mountain is the boundary of Shanxi."

The shopkeeper replied politely.

Zheng He nodded and asked,

"Oh, I see, so can that mountain be peaceful?"

"You mean to ask if there are robbers in the mountains, do you?"

The guy was also very clever and understood what he meant at once.

Zheng He smiled and stretched out a big finger and praised,

"The little second brother is smart, that's what I mean. You see that we only have two masters, servants and servants, and we don't have many things with us, so I'm really afraid that we will meet a strong man, so ......"

"Little boy doesn't need to say much, you can rest assured."

The guy waved his hand and laughed,

"Our road is not an official road, most of the rich merchants who come and go don't go from here, and people take the official road over there, so even if there are really strong people, they will go over there to rob, and they will never come to this road."

"That's great, thank you Xiaoer."

After inquiring, Zheng He was somewhat relieved, and when he looked back, he saw that Zhu Di was already standing outside the door and was about to go on the road, so he walked a few steps quickly and hurried over, and the two continued to hurry.

Sure enough, not too far out, a mountain flashed in front of me, this is probably what the guy said about Batai Ridge, and the road under his feet has also extended to the mountain, it seems that it is not possible to pass through this mountain, so he no longer hesitated, and the master and the two of them hit the horse into the mountain.

This road had never been walked before, so it was very unfamiliar, and the two of them just hurried along the mountain road, just wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.

I estimated that I could walk half the way, and the mountain road in front of me suddenly became narrow, and my heart had just tightened a little, but I had already seen four horses coming in front of me, lined up to block the road tightly. At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him, and the way back was blocked without asking.

Sure enough, I still encountered bandits

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh, and when he turned his head to look at Zheng He, he saw that his hand had tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.

Because of the lesson of the last time, Zhu Di also carried a sword with him at this time, subconsciously touched the scabbard, and looked up at the few thieves in front of him.

"A few heroes, the two of them are just in a hurry to visit relatives, and they really have nothing to offer, and I hope you will raise your noble hands and let us pass, and we will repay your great kindness in the future."

"What is a 'long thing'? We didn't say we wanted anything long! ”

One of the big men said in a loud voice.

The man in the middle, who looked like the leader of the bandits, glared at him.

"He said 'no long things' means that he doesn't have any good things on him, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

As he spoke, he looked Zhu Di up and down again,

"Whoever says we want something from you, it's you who we want our brothers. How about it, this son, let's go with us obediently. ”

"Yes, hurry up and come with us obediently, do you know that you are worth a thousand taels of silver!"

Another big man also shouted loudly and pettily.

Tattooed a thousand taels of silver, is this king worth such a little silver, it seems、They don't know my true identity

Thinking to himself, Zhu Di waved his hand and said,

"I don't know who made this agreement with you, but if you are willing to let me two go, I am willing to offer three thousand taels of silver, what do you think?"

"Three thousand taels? Big Brother ......"

The big man from before immediately turned to look at the bandit leader and shouted.

The bandit leader listened and glared at him again,

"Shut up!"

Then he looked at Zhu Di again, and said with a cruel smile,

"It's quite generous, it seems that Childe is really a very valuable character, how can three thousand taels be so?"

"And how much do you want?"

Zhu Di forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked patiently.

The man smiled wickedly,

"Five thousand taels, how's it going? Childe, you should be worth the price. ”

"Okay, five thousand taels is five thousand taels, then, please get out of the way, and we will take you to get the silver."

Zhu Di was angry in his heart, but he had to be nervous on the surface.

It's just that the bandit leader didn't mean to get out of the way at all, and still stared at him and asked,

"Childe, where are you going?" 2k reading web
