Chapter 458: Zoujia Village
"Brother, look at their dress, they are indeed foot traders." The young man said.
The round-faced man glared at him, noncommittal.
"Say, how did you end up here?" He continued to ask Guo Dagui.
"Good man Rong Bing, just because the gate of Yiyang City is closed, we can't enter the city, we can only find a place, and we will spend the night first."
Guo Dagui didn't dare to tell the truth at once, so he fabricated a reason at will.
Hearing his words, Li Feibai frowned slightly.
This reason is too rough.
Sure enough, the round-faced man sneered, "Spend the night? There is no temporary inn outside the city, so why do you go all the way to this deserted village to spend the night?"
"This ......," Guo Dagui smiled bitterly and was speechless.
"Huh"
The men raised their slingshots in unison.
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll bury you all here." The round-faced man threatened.
Helpless, Li Feibai could only turn over and dismount, walked in front of Guo Dagui, and arched his hand and said, "Everyone, don't hide it from you, in fact, we are merchants of Zhuguo, and now that the war is urgent, we can't get out of Yiyang City, and we can't go back to Zhuguo. The reason why I walked around the mountain was to find a path and return to Zhuguo as soon as possible."
Truth be told, logic is always right.
When the men heard this, although their vigilance was slightly reduced, they still did not put down their slingshots.
"Are you from Zhuguo?"
"Exactly." Li Feibai replied generously.
The round-faced man's name is Zou Bo, and the younger one is called Zou Zhong, and the two are brothers.
At this time, it was quite surprising to hear the other party generously admit that he was from Zhuguo.
"You say you're a foot merchant of the country?" Zou Bo's face was full of suspicion.
"It's like a fake."
If it were normal, they would not be so cautious, after all, there is nothing strange about the trade between countries.
But now that the two countries are about to go to war, Zou Bo has to think twice.
"You say yes, but I think you are a spy from Zhuguo, who came over the mountain to spy on the military." Zou Bo asked tentatively.
Zou Zhong on the side said in a low voice, "Brother, as far as I know, it is impossible for spies in the army to have such a large team."
"Shut up." Zou Zhong glared at him fiercely.
Although the voice was low, it was heard clearly by Li Feibai.
"This brother is right, how can there be a group of spies, and besides, you have also seen, we carry a lot of goods with us, if it is an enemy spies, how can we bring these burdens?" Li Feibai explained.
"Hmph." Uncle Zou sneered: "Who knows if what you have hidden in your package is a sharp weapon?"
Hearing this, Li Feibai pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, opened his hands and said, "You can come forward to check."
Hearing him say this, Zou Zhong stepped forward to check.
"What are you doing?" Zou Bo shouted dissatisfied.
"Brother, inspect the goods?"
"The goods are carried on their backs, and if you want to check them, you have to go in among them, and if they suddenly attack, you don't know how you died."
"What should I do?"
Zou Bo glanced at Li Feibai, pointed to the group of horses carrying commercial goods, and said, "Are you the one who calls the shots?"
Li Feibai was about to shake his head in denial, but Guo Dagui hurriedly spoke: "Exactly, this little brother is our head."
Li Feibai was stunned, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Then you have the goods unloaded and thrown to the front."
Glancing at Guo Dagui, Li Feibai's eyes flashed with inquiry, and seeing Guo Dagui nodding, he said, "Okay!"
Then the guards unloaded the goods and placed them between the two sides.
"You guys, come up and check." Zou Bo ordered a few men at random.
They ripped out the silk cloth that had been carefully wrapped and scattered it all over the ground until each package bottomed out.
Seeing this, Guo Dagui frowned.
These goods in his eyes are not just money, but more
It was the hard work of his trip, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw that he was treated like this.
But I have promised, and I can't go back.
After a while, a man returned to Zou Bo and replied, "Boss, the package is full of silk, and nothing else is hidden."
With a wave of his hand, Zou Bo asked him to step back.
"You said you were looking for a path back to Zhuguo?" Zou Bo had already believed what Li Feibai said.
"Yes, we are not familiar with this, thinking that under the high mountains, there must be villages, and there must be elite hunters like you in the villages, and the hunters must be familiar with the mountain paths, if any of you are willing, we are willing to hire a lot of money to bring us and the others back to Zhuguo."
Li Feibai explained the truth of the matter and explained it to him.
"You want us to lead the way?" Zou Bo asked repeatedly.
"Well, heavily." Li Feibai nodded heavily and emphasized the last four words.
I thought that the other party would agree, but I didn't expect Zou Bo to suddenly drink.
"Dream! You Zhuguo vampires, it's not bad that I didn't go to Yiyang City to report you, and I want us to show you the way, hurry up and get out of me, I'll chop you up later."
Hearing this, Li Feibai frowned.
Guo Dagui hurriedly came out to play a round: "This little brother, just say how much it costs, don't hurt the harmony."
"You dead old man, don't think that a few stinky money is great, and disappear in front of my eyes immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu will be unkind to you." Zou Bo continued to shout.
Seeing this, Zhao Qiancheng was angry in his heart, and was just about to step forward, but was stopped by Li Feibai.
He saw that this Zou Bo was full of foul language, and his face was fierce, he seemed to be a Taoist figure, and he wanted to explore his true nature.
At this time, Zou Zhong seemed to be unbearable, and said: "Brother, the two countries are at war, and it is the people of Li who suffer, although they are Zhuguo people, but after all, they are just foot merchants, and they have nothing to do with the war, so we don't have to drive them away."
Hearing this, Zou Bo turned his head and stared at Zou Zhong dissatisfied.
"What? Do you still want to take them back to wish the country a success?"
"Brother, I don't dare to take them back to Zhuguo, but they have traveled all the way, it is already dark, and they can't go to the village or the store...... Isn't it dangerous?" Zou Zhong replied cautiously.
Hearing his words, Li Feibai had a rough judgment in his heart.
Although these two are brothers, their personalities are very different.
The elder brother is quite ruthless, and Zou Zhong is benevolent.
"Hiss"
Taking a breath of cool air, Zou Bo tilted his head and crossed his waist and replied, "Then what do you mean?"
"Why don't you let them go into the village to rest overnight, give them some food, and let them go tomorrow?" Zou Zhong plucked up the courage to reply. br>
"Papapa"
Knocking Zou Zhong's head three times, Zou Bo gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy, they say a few words, you let this group of strangers of unknown origin enter the village, in case they are dressed as a group of bandits, can you afford it?"
"Brother, how can they be bandits?"
"Why can't it be?"
Zou Zhong retorted: "Their goods are worth 10,000 gold, and all the property in our village is not enough for a fraction of the family, if they are bandits, what are they doing in Zou Village?"
