"Who?" Chen Ran asked softly.

He is not the young dart head he was a few months ago now, and he is not too nervous about the fact that someone is blocking the way.

I only heard Sikong Ping say softly: "It may be some bandits in the mountains on the north bank of the Yellow River." ”

Chen Ran was a little surprised, and said, "Why did you just cross the Yellow River and meet bandits?" It's Mengjindu here, and it's a big ferry. ”

Sikong Ping explained: "From here, we go all the way north to the boundary of Jinju. Master knew that the giant thieves of Taihang Mountain were entrenched there. Therefore, the northwest of Henan has always been not peaceful. Even the docks of the Flying Fish Gang are often infested with water bandits, and it is impossible to prevent them. Our convoy is very long, there are too many things, and the rut marks are relatively deep, so it is normal to be targeted. ”

When Chen Ran heard this, he also felt quite a lot in his heart, this world is indeed full of dangers, even if he was in Ninghuafang, which is not too far from Luoyang City, he also encountered a burglary, and the robber turned out to be a part-time pharmacy owner on the street.

A person who heals and saves people is a part-time robber, which shows the chaos of this world.

He softly told Yun Jiang not to come out while sitting in the car, while he got out of the car and rode the horse, and stepped forward to check with Sikong Ping.

At this time, the convoy had stopped, and there were several rough men with big knives standing in front of the mountain road, led by one with a towel tied to his head, with a majestic figure, holding a long-handled Daguan knife, which looked majestic.

The long-handled Daseki sword is a weapon on horseback that is used exclusively between battle formations. This man used it in foot combat against the enemy, but it was quite imposing.

Chen Ran's convoy is very long, and he got all the gold and silver out of the Changxing Dart Bureau, almost all of his belongings.

And the big man with Guan Dao stood in front of him, watching Sikong Ping and Chen Ran walking slowly, he automatically ignored the young man next to him, and only stared at Sikong Ping.

"Please forgive the old man's clumsiness, who is the honorable driver?" Sikong Ping said according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Guan Dao Dahan waved the weapon in his hand casually, let out a whining sound, and said with a smile: "Jiuligou, Huolan." Who are you? ”

Sikong Ping's eyes lit up, he had heard of this name. Jiuligou is located in the original city, north of Okyang Mountain, and was originally close to Jinju. This Huolan bandit has always fallen into the grass in Jiuligou, and he has some reputation in Jinnan Yuzhong.

"It turned out to be Huo Dangjia in Jiuligou, I don't know what kind of wind blew Huo Dangjia to the north bank of the Yellow River. Disrespectful, disrespectful. Sikong Ping said: "The old man belongs to the same faction, Sikong Ping." ”

"Sikong Ping?" Huo Lan looked Sikong Ping up and down, and said, "Lao Tzu only knows about the Flying Fish Gang Sikong Ping, what kind of thing is the Guiyi faction?" ”

"Huo Dangjia said cautiously, the Guiyi faction is the newly established sect of my Flying Fish Gang." Sikong Ping frowned.

"Oh." Huo Lan suddenly realized, casually bowed his hand, and said, "It turned out to be the Sikong gang leader of the Flying Fish Gang. Who was so bold as to cut off the leg of the Sikong gang leader? Isn't it that Brother Sikong didn't give money when he visited the kiln, and was discounted by the turtle father? ”

He stared at Sikong Ping with a smile in his tone.

The cold light in Sikong Ping's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Huo Dangjia has been acting on the border of Jinyu for a long time, why did he suddenly arrive on the north bank of the Yellow River?" ”

"Ugh." But seeing Huo Lan sighing, he pretended to be helpless and said: "Brother doesn't know, now the world is too chaotic, all kinds of strongmen are infested, and those bandits in Jinnan run to Yuzhou every day, and the behavior is really serious." Brother, I can't get along at the Jinzhou border, so I have to come to western Henan to fight the autumn breeze. ”

"What do you mean, the giant bandits of Taihang Mountain have already touched the boundary of Yuzhou?" Sikong Ping was surprised.

He usually walks by water, and he walks from the river under the protection of the Frost Moon Sect, but he didn't expect the Jinyu border to be so chaotic.

"yes!" Huo Lan patted his thigh and said: "Brother, I will come to your western Henan to eat, in the future, the north bank of the Yellow River will be my Huo Lan's territory of influence, my brother will not give face, right?" ”

Sikong Ping looked at Huo Lan with a cold expression: "Huo Dangjia, from your Jiuligou to this Mengjindu, there is Yuyang Mountain in the middle. Listening to what Huo Dangjia means, Yuyang Mountain is also in your sphere of influence? ”

"Brother has placed Yuyang Mountain?" Huo Lan looked surprised and smiled: "That's really a coincidence. We'll be neighbors from now on. The old brother has a lot of money, and he put down a mountain in one breath, and he happened to meet here today, so I just asked the brother to share some of the brothers, and begged for a little food. ”

Sikong Ping heard Huo Lan's blatant request, so he turned his head to look at Chen Ran and listened to his instructions.

Chen Ran was already quite restrained at this time, he didn't want to cause trouble as soon as he came to the north bank of the Yellow River, and he didn't see the situation clearly, so he smiled slightly and said: "You might as well give Huo Dangjia some face, and give some silver taels according to the rules of the rivers and lakes." ”

When Chen Ran was dart with Han Dangtou in the past, when he encountered bandits blocking the way, he always had to give some silver taels as usual, which is a common thing.

Since the master spoke, Sikong Ping no longer showed hostility, the gloom on his face dissipated, and asked the man to take out a hundred taels of gold, put it on a plate, and give it to Huo Lan and said: "In the eyes of Huo Dangjia, this hundred taels is a red envelope that I sent to my new neighbor." If you don't pay respect, please accept it. ”

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the bandits blocked the way, and they offered a hundred taels of silver, which was already very sincere. I didn't know that Huo Lan didn't look at it, he waved his hand directly, let the guy who was holding the silver roll aside, and smiled at Sikong Ping: "It turns out that my brothers in Jiuligou are called Huazi." ”

Sikong Ping's brows furrowed again, and he said, "What, this money is not enough?" ”

Holland laughed and said softly, "I want half of the boxes in your convoy." ”

When Sikong Ping heard this, he looked up to the sky and sneered: "It seems that the Huo Dang family doesn't take us into the same faction anymore." ”

Huo Lan didn't care about Sikong Ping's anger, and only said lightly: "To be honest, when you Sikong Ping's legs were there, Lao Tzu was not afraid, but now that he is lame, how can Lao Tzu put it in his eyes?" If you give me half of it, you can say it. If you don't give it, you will be killed, and you will be taken away, so what can you do? ”

When he said this, his face was extremely contemptuous, and he did not take Sikong Ping in his eyes at all.

Sikong Ping was suddenly furious, he looked at Chen Ran, and he was angry, just waiting for Chen Ran to show him.

Horan was originally guarding against Sikong Ping's sudden attack, although this guy was lame, but at least his reputation was still there, and he should not be taken lightly. It is also one of his tactics to provoke Sikong Ping, that is, he wants Sikong Ping to attack suddenly in anger, and then expose the flaws in the lower plate.

It's just that he suddenly noticed that Sikong Ping was in a rage, still looking at the young man next to him, as if waiting for him to give an order.

Huo Lan's heart suddenly wondered, thinking where did this young man come from? Why does Sikong Ping seem to still listen to his orders?
