Hearing this, Boss Wu looked at Luo Xixian with wide eyes, Zhao Huang had long been accustomed to Luo Xixian's indifference, he did not rush to refute, but said to Boss Wu:

"I know you're going to have a hard time, so I'll put this aside for now. But there is one thing you need to answer clearly. ”

"Xiaomin doesn't dare to hide it." Boss Wu hurriedly said.

"I just heard you talk about it in the guest room, and it has been more than ten years since you mentioned the bandits in Xingluo County." Zhao Xiao simply singled out: "Is this statement true or not?" ”

Boss Wu looked at the two of them left and right, and had to answer, "Indeed." ”

Zhao Xiao took a deep breath, the situation in Xingluo County was even more complicated than he expected: "It has only been ten years since the agreement was made for the soldiers of Shouyang Mountain of the Five Kingdoms, but the bandits in Xingluo County started before the soldiers. I'm curious, what kind of bandit can always be entrenched in Starfall County? ”

"You don't know?" Boss Wu explained: "It's that group of eye-piercing mountain soldiers." ”

"Is that them?" Zhao Xiao pondered.

Before and after the fall of the Tianxia Dynasty, Kunlun Continent had fallen into chaos. There is no clear affiliation in the area of Xingluo County, but Wubao villages are dotted around, and there is no unified government decree and commander. Battles often broke out between the marshals of the dock fort in order to compete for food and wealth.

Later, the rise of the Xuanming Kingdom led the Rong Di of various ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang to the south, and a partial army bypassed Panlong Mountain and entered the boundary of Xingluo County. Most of this partial army is composed of the Ichimoku people, as the descendants of the ancient dragon kingdom, the ordinary Ichimoku people are more than two people tall, strong, rough skin and thick flesh, and the ordinary dock fortress wall cannot stop them at all. In addition, the one-eyed eyes on the heads of some of the people can emit terrifying evil light, and the gathering of people is so strong that Starfall County was ravaged by them.

In this situation, there were several Wubao heroes in Xingluo County who chose to fight to the end, and they began to gather the displaced people, form a rebel army, and take advantage of the intricate terrain of Panlong Mountain to fight with the people of Ichimu for many years.

Because Xingluo County was really destroyed too much by the people of Yimu, this rebel army hated Rong Di deeply, and every time they killed the people of Yimu, they must gouge out their one eye, and all the soldiers ate together, so they were called "the people of the mountains with their eyes".

Later, the lord of the Xuanming Kingdom was beheaded in the emperor's capital, and the two countries of Xiong and Huaxu launched a counterattack on the Xuanming Kingdom at the same time, and Xingluo County was included in the boundaries of the Huaxu Kingdom at this time.

"I have the impression that the mountain people have been disbanded and returned, and they have already settled down." Zhao Xiao said.

"My lord, I'm afraid you don't know." Boss Wu explained: "After the Huaxu army occupied Xingluo County, they relocated the displaced people from other places here. The group of eye-catching mountain people could only be allotted some barren corner land, and they appealed to the governor again and again, but received no response. As a result, when the army withdrew from Xingluo County, the people of the Eyed Mountains immediately rose up to rebel. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but think of Wang Miaoshou in Chengyang County again. The War of the Five Kingdoms seems to be over, but the world is not peaceful at all.

Luo Xixian didn't care too much: "I've also heard of the mountain people, but there can't be many of them, they just hid in the mountains back then, and occasionally came out to attack the camp of the Yimu people. To really wipe out that group of stupid and dumb-eyed people, it still depends on the army of our Huaxu Kingdom. If they had to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, it would have been reasonable for them to be given some corner land. ”

Boss Wu's cheeks were agitated, and he said in a low voice: "People have lived in Xingluo County for generations, and they have survived the war, but the land of their homeland has been occupied by outsiders, and anyone else will be angry." ”

Luo Xixian still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Xiao raising his hand, and he said to Boss Wu: "So it seems that your batch of dragon blood lipids was sold to the troublesome mountain people?" ”

"This ...... Xiaomin doesn't know either. ”

Zhao Xiao was puzzled: "Why don't you know?" Such valuable goods, the other party always has to send someone to collect it, and if you don't see the other party take out real money, can you rest assured that the goods will be delivered? Without a clear trading partner, you dare to go north with a cart of dragon blood lipids? ”

When Zhao Xiao was in the Huaiying Pavilion, he purchased all kinds of spiritual materials. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to use these things in their daily lives, and basically only cultivators or dignitaries will pay for them. Or, like the dragon's blood, it is directly in the hands of a person of high status.

Seeing that Boss Wu bowed his head and was silent, Zhao Xiao said: "Reflect on your situation as soon as possible, explain things clearly, and you can suffer less." ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Boss Wu stood up in fright, and Luo Xixian didn't understand Zhao Xiao's intentions.

"I can hear a few of you hiding in the guest room and whispering, do you think I can't dig out the secret hidden in my heart?" Zhao Xiao's eyes were gloomy: "Have you heard of the Gu technique of Jiuli Kingdom?" I know a Gu lady, the corpse Peng Ju Gu she refined, can burrow into the brains of living people, gnaw the brains little by little, and eventually the Gu worms occupy the brain, replacing the person's spiritual intelligence. No matter how many secrets you hide, they can be dug up by Gu worms...... Of course, the process is not very comfortable. ”

Boss Wu's face couldn't tell whether he was angry or afraid, Zhao Xiao pressed his belly on the edge of the wine glass, and circled back and forth: "I also understand that the bandits in Xingluo County are not only mortal thieves, but also demons and evil spirits involved." If you sell this batch of dragon blood lipids to the demons, what will be the result? If you raise a big demon monster that can cause disaster for thousands of miles, you will take the money and leave, what will happen to the other people in Xingluo County? ”

Boss Wu's eyes rolled wildly, and his heart was numb. Zhao Xiao continued to induce: "Of course, ordinary people are fascinated by demons and evil for a while, and they do illegal acts, as long as they can wake up, according to the laws of Huaxu Kingdom, there is not no room for salvation." If you can make meritorious service and help you destroy the demon, then there may be another reward. ”

Luo Xixian seemed to understand what Zhao Xiao meant, got up and patted Boss Wu on the shoulder: "What you said, Brother Wu is upright, where does it seem to be fascinated by demons?" As long as it's not collusion with Rong Di of the Xuan Netherworld, then I don't think it's a big deal! ”

"Huh? Is it still related to the Xuan Netherworld? Boss Wu's thighs weakened and sat down.

"Don't you know?" Luo Xixian asked: "In the Xuanming Kingdom north of Xingluo County, from time to time, there are monsters climbing over Panlong Mountain. This time, the bandits in Xingluo County may have been provoked by the demons of the Xuan Netherworld. ”

Zhao Xiao could see that this Boss Wu was either confused by demons and demons, or out of his own thoughts, he came to do this job of selling smuggling and reselling.

However, a large amount of dragon blood lipids is indeed not like the materials needed by ordinary thieves. Considering that there are likely to be many monsters entrenched in Starfall County, it is not impossible that they need dragon blood lipids.

"Most of the spirits and monsters are familiar with changing shapes." Zhao Xiao reminded: "Maybe it's a monster who is in contact with you, but you don't know." If you don't meet us, if you know the situation ahead, and still insist on going your own way, then I will advise you, you may not be able to earn this money. ”

Boss Wu is not a reckless person who only knows how to fight and kill, he quickly figured it out: "You mean that after my goods are delivered, the other party will not give money?" ”

"That's what you should think." Zhao Xiao smiled and looked very kind: "Since the bandits in Xingluo County are serious, how can you ensure that the dragon blood lipids can be safely delivered to the consignee?" ”

Luo Xixian slapped the table: "This is too dark!" If you don't give money, forget it, and send someone to rob halfway? ”

"Isn't that what thieves are?" Zhao Xiao said calmly: "You are taking a huge risk in this business, I don't understand, you just believe the consignee like this?" What is the origin of the other party? ”

Boss Wu's heart was pushed to the limit by these words, and finally sighed and said, "It's Chiyundu." ”

"What?!" Luo Xixian almost screamed.

Zhao Xiao frowned and asked, "Chiyundu?" That army of outcasts? Didn't I remember that they were made redundant? ”

During the War of the Five Kingdoms, the sources and affiliations of the armies of various countries were once confused, including the private soldiers of the wealthy families themselves, and the people from all walks of life who were gathered by homeless thieves. They either took refuge in a certain country in order to protect themselves, or they simply became the emperor of a land and were knighted.

After the defeat of the Five Kingdoms, Huaxu began to rectify the military system in China, and in the past, some local commanders and generals were either deposed or punished for crimes. Luo Xixian's father was more aware of current affairs, gave up his military power to protect his whole family, and became a nobleman of the DPRK and China.

"The army has been abolished, but there are still many people on the green forest road who claim to be from Chiyundu, and over time they have become a signboard." Boss Wu was a little aggrieved: "The two adults, like Xiaomin, who run the rivers and lakes, are also for the livelihood of their families, and it is inevitable that they will have to interact with these characters." ”

"No, they're no ordinary Green Forest characters." Luo Xixian's expression was unusually serious: "On the border of the southwest country, Cangwuling, which borders Jiuli and Xiong, there is a chaotic party in Chiyundu. Among them, there is even a loose cultivator with high mana, who can summon clouds and seal the mountain and hinder the army from conquering and suppressing it. ”

"Cangwu Ridge?" Zhao Xiao questioned: "But there is a difference of thousands of miles from Xingluo County, no matter how powerful Chiyun is, can you still arrange people in the northern border counties to provoke bandits?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's just a pretense." Luo Xixian looked at Boss Wu, and the other party hurriedly waved his hand: "My goods are not from Cangwuling!" Absolutely true! ”

Zhao Xiao smiled: "You are getting deeper and deeper now." Originally, he was just a border bandit, and he said that he would not collude with the rebel party in the future. If you can sell them dragon blood lipids today, are you going to sell the discarded armor of the imperial court's arsenal to Cangwuling tomorrow? ”

As soon as the words of discarding the armor came out, several people present understood, and selling part of the armor in the name of discarding it was a common greedy trick. The dragon's blood lipids, which were strictly controlled by the Jiuli Kingdom, could all appear in the northern border counties of the Huaxu Kingdom, and it seemed that the refined armor of the Huaxu Kingdom fell into the hands of the chaotic party, which was not unusual.

Boss Wu's face turned pale, and he had to say, "What are you going to do with the little people?" ”

Zhao Xiao looked at Luo Xixian, and the other party cast a gaze and motioned for him to make a decision.

"I have an idea." Zhao Xiao said while thinking about it: "Aren't you going to sell this batch of goods to the people of Chiyundu?" Then let's sell, but we're going to follow a piece. ”

Boss Wu's face was shocked: "What are you going to do, my lord?" ”

"Take the opportunity to grab a few live mouths." Zhao Xiao said: "If it is really them who provoked the bandits in Xingluo County and colluded with demons and evil spirits, then it is natural to be punished." ”

Zhao Xiao listened to Boss Wu's account of the situation in Xingluo County, coupled with his thoughts during these days, he already had a general idea of how to suppress the bandits. By brute force alone, I am afraid that this thief will never be wiped out.

"We need to understand the bandits in Xingluo County, and if we catch any important people, it will be better."

Hearing Zhao Xiao's words, Boss Wu was nervous: "My lord, will this be too dangerous." ”

"Isn't your trade dangerous?" Zhao Xiao said: "Don't worry, when the time comes, we will set off with you, and we will definitely do a good job of camouflage." ”

Boss Wu wanted to speak and stopped, and Luo Xixian hammered the table: "If you have something to say, just say it!" We're here to save you, you're struggling, and when something really happens, we can't protect you! ”

"Two adults, it's not that I don't want to help." Boss Wu said with a bitter face: "My gang of guys also count on this trip to make money to support their families." I can promise you, but I'm afraid that these guys will be disobedient and cause you other trouble. ”

"I know, that Scarface of yours wants to kill us." Zhao Xiao said with a smile.

Boss Wu hurriedly explained: "I refused on the spot!" They are all countrymen who have never seen the world, and they don't know that there are many masters in this world, so please forgive the two adults. ”

Zhao Xiao smiled: "You don't have to use your subordinates to prevaricate, I know what you're worried about." It's just that we feel that we have intervened, and this business has been wasted. Right? ”

Boss Wu nodded slightly in shame, and Zhao Xiao simply said: "Your batch of dragon blood lipids, we can indeed buy it in the Huaiying Pavilion." But not now, at least we have to wait until we meet the people of Chiyundu. As long as the matter is done, we can report that there are righteous people who have gone bankrupt to help suppress the bandits, and ask the local government treasury to allocate money as compensation. You'll be able to get the money then. ”

These words somewhat mean the white wolf with empty gloves, and Boss Wu is obviously difficult to believe.

"You still don't believe us." Zhao Xiao smiled faintly: "It's okay, you can go." ”

"Huh?" Boss Wu was a little inexplicable, and Zhao Xiao's attitude suddenly changed, which made him scratch his head.

"What? Didn't you say yes? Now that we're done, you're good to go. Zhao Xiao waved his hand.

"But ......"

"But what?" Zhao Xiao slapped his forehead: "Oh, yes! You just have to go, as for whether we will sneak in behind, or put Gu in your drinks and food, and kill you and the thieves in Chiyundu when the time comes, then I can't guarantee it. Anyway, it's not a big deal to deduct one more charge of conspiracy and collusion with demons. ”

Boss Wu was even a little dizzy when he heard this, he understood that he was completely pinched by the other party, and if he didn't agree, I was afraid that it would really not end well.

"Xiaomin is willing to help." Boss Wu bowed deeply.
