Li Guangyin felt that the sky was falling. Because the other party not only wants goods, but even people. This is obviously a plan to leave a posture that does not stay.

For a moment, Li Guangyin even wanted to fight with these horse bandits. But I want to hit the horse bandit just now, so fast that I can't see it clearly. He was mentally weakened. It's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's that the enemy army has Gundam.

This group of horse bandits is naturally the disciples of the Lian Feng led by Ding'an. After killing the flying dragon, Ding'an, like Lu Xiao, had all the demons in his heart. Coupled with the original master's positive teachings.

Lu Xiao passed on your sword technique, that is the grace of teaching. Treat him as a master and an apprentice. Don't be as casual as you used to be. Therefore, Ding'an is now obedient a lot, and he is all the right-hand man under Lu Xiao.

In addition to Ding'an, those disciples of Lian Feng regarded Lu Xiao as an idolatro.

Not only is the force value high, but also the brain is good. With dozens of them, he wiped out hundreds of local horse bandits. In the eyes of these disciples of the Lian Feng, the entire cottage and the entire town should be Lu Xiao's final say. They will not obey anyone but him.

Therefore, when Lu Xiao asked them to come out and be horse bandits once, they did not hesitate at all.

Of course, Lu Xiao didn't let them really be horse bandits, but just pretended to be horse bandits and went to find a caravan to come over.

This town has been greatly damaged over the years, and wants to use traditional farming methods to recover its vitality. Ten or twenty years have no end in sight. Therefore, Lu Xiao can only try to take a shortcut and trade.

One of the reasons why the town was able to be established back then was because of the water. The other is that it is a trade route between the East and the West. It was only later that the trade route was abandoned by horse bandits. The town is gradually declining.

Now if you want to rebuild the town, the most important thing is to reopen the trade routes here.

But once the trade route is broken, it is impossible to reopen it. Therefore, Lu Xiao can only use a simple small means, such as forcibly opening it.

In fact, Ding'an has been wandering around that area for more than a month. He couldn't go to the periphery of those cities to kidnap people. Once you meet the garrison, it's not a joke. Although the border army at this time was rotten to the extreme.

But the irony is that the work of driving away the horse bandits is related to their oil and water. Therefore, the people who are dispatched are the personal guards of those generals, that is, the real elite. Therefore, Lu Xiao specially instructed not to approach those defenders.

Ding'an took Li Guangyin's men and horses for more than ten days before finally arriving in the town. And the first time he saw the town, Li Guangyin's hanging heart finally let go a little.

Because he saw a real town, not the eerie horse bandit den as he imagined. This gave him a little more hope that he would survive or not.

It's just that Ding'an took them, walked and walked, and they deviated from the town. Then I came to a cottage, which looked like a horse bandit's lair.

Li Guangyin: "????? ”

Soon, Li Guangyin's people were settled. And he himself was taken to the hall of the cottage.

Li Guangyin looked at his surroundings along the way. What made him a little relieved was that it looked like a horse bandit's lair from the outside. But when you walk in, it's not like it at all.

First of all, the inside of this cottage is too clean. The floor is clean. In the middle is a stone-paved road. On both sides is a uniform and fine yellow sand. It looks clean and tidy.

It's not a luxury, but it's rare in this remote border town.

After entering the hall, Li Guangyin was even more surprised.

It's said to be a hall, but it's actually just a relatively large room. This place Lu Xiao hasn't had time to rebuild, so he can only keep it as it is for the time being. In the middle of the hall, there is a huge table. Clay, yellow sand, and rocks were used to create a huge three-dimensional sand table.

Li Guangyin is not familiar with this generation, and he can't see where it is. I just feel that the sand table is extremely exquisite. It's not at all like what a group of horse bandits would have.

Li Guangyin was invited to sit on a chair next to him and wait.

"You wait here for a while, Brother Lu is dealing with other things." After saying that, he left the hall directly.

Li Guangyin sat down nervously. At this time, he was the only one left in the entire hall. The horse bandits, or strange people, didn't seem to be worried about him running away or anything.

In fact, Li Guangyin had no way of escaping at all. Along the way, he didn't see many people. But basically they are the kind of samurai who are strong and strong with swords.

He felt that any one of them would be able to cut down a few of his 'guards'. And this is someone's territory, and he doesn't know where to run when he goes out.

And what he didn't know was that in the back room. Lu Xiao followed and was sure that the three of them were looking at him.

"Let's talk about it, Ding'an."

"Hmm. This man is a bit responsible. Although I was scared enough along the way. But in the end, it still held on. One of the caravans was his son. It is estimated that he is an only son, and he cares a lot. He once said that he would give me all the goods and let me release his son.

The caravan was not escorted. Those who were holding knives were not knife hands at first glance. The goods were some porcelain, with silk. I don't see the quality being good or bad. He tested us many times along the way. But I passed it perfunctorily. I can't see any more. ”

"It's already good. We already know that this is a smart, somewhat timid, cautious businessman who pampers his son. In negotiations, this is already a huge advantage. ”

Lu Xiao said and walked out of the room.

Li Guangyin finally met the person in Ding'an's mouth.

To their surprise, the man who came was a man who was even younger than the previous youth.

Li Guangyin hurriedly got up and luggage. Lu Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't be polite, it's our rudeness to say it first. It's just that there is a reason for it, and please Haihan. ”

"Out of the way, out of the way." Li Guangyin waved his hand again and again. People make it clear that they can't take it seriously.

"I just don't know what advice Mr. asked me to come here?"

"I can't talk about advice. I don't know what Mr. thinks of my cottage and the town here? ”

Lu Xiao did not respond positively, but asked rhetorically.

"This? In my humble opinion, Mr. will govern this place in an orderly manner. Even if it is in the Central Plains, there are few comparable ones. ”

Li Guangyin's words were naturally exaggerated. But who doesn't like sycophants! Lu Xiao smiled and continued.

"Sir doesn't know that this town seems to be rich. But in fact, he is already terminally ill. It has been ravaged by horse bandits for many years, so much so that its vitality is greatly damaged. Even though I tried my best to get rid of the bandits, it seems that there is a sense of powerlessness now. ”

Li Guangyin pursed his lips, the kid in front of him obviously had something to ask for, but he refused to say it clearly. It seems that he must wait until he speaks first.

Li Guangyin knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, it would definitely be a trouble. But helplessly, people have knives in their hands, and they have no choice.

"I wonder if there is anything that can help?"
