Chapter 413: Mountain Bandits
After dinner, Qin Wen and Han Shang returned to the courtyard to the west, and now they had nothing to do in Lishan Town, so they went back to their rooms to practice.
After half a month, the monks who bought grain had rushed back from the country of the blade, this time they had bought enough food for the current residents of the town to eat for a year, and when a large amount of grain was taken out of the storage bag and piled up in the entire granary of the Dong Mansion, all the townspeople who carried the grain cheered in unison.
Now that Lishan Town is safe, plus so much food, compared to the other displaced people, they already feel that they are living in paradise, and all of them are full of gratitude for Qin Wen's caravan.
When all the people in the caravan returned to the courtyard in the west, Qin Wen also made some hard rules for them, most of these rules were about how to deal with the relationship between them and the residents of the town, according to Qin Wen's regulations, the safety of the residents in Lishan Town was solved by the monks of the caravan, and if there was a dispute with the local residents, they had to find the head of the Dong family to deal with it first.
Once you feel that the result of dealing with the matter is paranoid, do not use your own force to solve it for the time being, so as not to have a bigger conflict, you must report it to Qin Wen in the expulsion city through the channel of returning to the caravan, and then Qin Wen will make the most difficult decision, and the monks of the caravan must also follow certain rules, if they find that there are things such as burning, killing, looting, and occupying fields and wives in the town, the monks who are in charge here will bring people to the Dong family and deal with them.
This is a kind of restraint by Qin Wen on the caravan monks, he knows that when he is here, maybe the caravan monks have scruples and dare not do such a thing, if he leaves, the realm of residents like Lishan Town cannot be compared with the caravan monks at all. If there is a problem in this contrast, the efforts I have made to set up a base here will be in vain.
Now Qin Wen made a rule that is to establish an order of peaceful coexistence between the caravan and the local people, he does not want to enslave this place, but it is better to form a situation of cooperation between the two sides, and his caravan has a strong force as a guarantee. He thought that the residents of Lishan Town would not provoke the caravan for no reason.
After promulgating these rules, Qin Wen assigned another monk to be on duty at night, and then the other monks went back to their rooms to rest.
After staying in Lishan Town for three days, Qin Wen saw that the situation in the town had completely stabilized, so he was ready to trade the elixirs carried by the caravan this time, and then return to the city of expulsion with a few monks, leaving Han Shang for the time being, and waiting until the next time he came, he would bring a few more spirit level monks or magic circle monks. Instead of Han Shang, the caravan could then move further west to the country.
In the evening, Qin Wen asked the monk to go to Dong's house to call Dong Hou, and then he asked the caravan to count the pills carried this time, the pills carried by the caravan this time were all low-grade pills refined by Han Duan's alchemy group, there were nearly a thousand Xuan-level lower-grade pills, and more than 300 Xuan-level middle-grade pills. And there are only about fifty pills of the upper grade of the Xuan level.
The pills that Qin Wen consumed on the road were all the pills placed in his storage bag, if you look at the current price of the spar and the pill traded here. The elixir carried by the caravan can basically be traded for more than 4,000 spars, and from here, you can buy some higher-grade magic weapons to go back, and the difference in the price can also earn a spars.
As soon as the statistics were here, the monk took Dong Hou into the main hall, and Qin Wen said at this time: "Dong Hou, where is your map? I think the situation in the town has stabilized in the past two days. I'm going to take a few monks to a nearby city to trade the elixir, and then bring back some of the spiritual things we need there. ”
Dong Hou took out the map from his storage bag and put it on the table in front of Qin Wen, and then asked cautiously, "Master Qin, you go this time." How many monks are you going to bring? If you're not familiar with the road, I can also give you two guides. ”
Qin Wen knew that he was worried about the protection of Lishan Town, so he waved his hand and said: "The guide just wants one, I will bring three monks this time, Han Shang and another monk from the Xuanshi realm will stay here to help you do a good job in the protection of the town, and after this transaction is completed, I will prepare to return with the caravan, and when the next time the caravan comes, I will bring more monks, and I will be stationed here in the future, and the safety of the town is definitely not a problem." ”
After Dong Hou listened to Qin Wen's words, he also put his mind at ease, and then he pointed to Lishan Town on the map, and then moved his finger to the north: "Now the north of the capital of the country of Huichuan is occupied by the army of the Ziyang Kingdom, and the cities in the distance from the town to the capital are basically relatively small cities, and the pills consumed are also limited, by the way, how many pills are you going to trade?"
Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "It should be around a thousand, the Xuan-level lower grade pills are the most, where do you think it is more appropriate to trade?"
Dong Hou didn't expect Qin Wen to bring so many pills, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "If Qin Ye wants to trade at one time, it is estimated that the shops that can take so many pills can only be found in the capital, and the annual consumption of pills in the rest of these cities may not be able to reach this amount." ”
Qin Wen looked at the map on the table at this time, he looked at it carefully, there were three cities from Lishan Town to the capital, and he muttered for a while: "The caravan will often take this road in the future, although the one-time transaction is convenient, but it is not conducive to the future development of the caravan, I am going to go to these three cities to take a look, select some powerful shops from them, and then sign a long-term supply contract with them, if you do this transaction, it will not be too abrupt in the future, and attract the attention of others." ”
As soon as Qin Wen's words fell, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a monk of the Dong family arrived at the door of the main hall with a panicked face and said: "Young family master, Qin Ye, a group of mountain bandits from outside have now rushed into the town, and there are nearly more than 100 monks in total. ”
Listening to the monk's words, Qin Wen suddenly stood up and said to Han Shang and the caravan monk next to him: "You guys prepare, let's go to the town now, don't let the mountain bandits hurt the residents of the town, Dong Hou, you go and organize the monks in your mansion and let them gather to protect everyone, as for those mountain bandits outside, we will go out and drive them away." ”
Dong Hou nodded and agreed, and everyone left the main hall in a hurry, and as soon as they got out of the courtyard door, Qin Wen took Han Shang and them to get up, and quickly rushed to the center of the town where Dong Mansion was located.
The leader of the mountain bandits was a middle-aged monk wearing a red mantle, with a full beard on his face, and a pair of small eyes that exuded a cruel light from time to time, Han Shang saw that the realm of the middle-aged monk was in the middle level of the Xuanshi at this time, so he whispered to Qin Wen: "This should be a group of more powerful mountain bandits nearby." ”
Qin Wen nodded slightly, then turned around and asked the monk who reported the news, "Have you seen these mountain bandits when you came to the mountain bandits in the town before?"
The monk who reported the news shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, there are three mountain bandits near this Lishan, one was wiped out by the officers and soldiers before the battle, and the other two groups of their leaders are about the same as the head of the family, plus there were more monks of our Dong family at that time, so they didn't dare to come to the town, we have never seen this group of mountain bandits." ”
Han Shang carefully looked at the monks behind the leader of the mountain bandits, frowned slightly, and said: "Master Qin, these mountain bandits should have been officers and soldiers before, I see that they are wearing a lot of standard military uniforms, you see that the flying swords they are holding are all of a unified standard, and their actions are also very organized, which is not comparable to those rabble at all." ”
Qin Wen's face became cold and said: "Now that this country of Huichuan is fighting, if our caravan wants to gain a foothold here, the army and the mountain bandits will have to deal with, and as soon as I and the others leave in two days, there will be only the two of you left, we must stand up this time, and if we want to kill the nearby mountain bandits, we will not dare to approach Lishan Town." ”
"Don't leave your hands behind this time, I didn't carry any pills that could control them, you said to the caravan behind, all the mountain bandits will be killed, let Dong Hou find someone to prepare to clean up the battlefield, and hang all the mountain bandits' bodies in the woods outside the town, to deter these forces nearby. ”
When Han Shang was in the Western countries before, he basically had to experience a war every few years, and there were naturally not a few monks killed, since he entered the city of expulsion, especially in the Fang family, he basically fought very little with people, and gradually his temperament was a lot more restrained.
This time, Qin Wen allowed him to go on a killing spree, and the bloodiness that had been hidden for a long time broke out again, and the violent aura on his body gradually exuded, so he turned to the monk behind him and said: "Qin Ye said, there is no one left behind these mountain bandits today, Dong Hou, you are ready to clean up the battlefield, remember, hang these people on the woods outside the town for a while." ”
After saying this, Han Shang screamed strangely, and rushed directly towards the leader of the mountain bandits, and the leader of the mountain bandits who was sitting on the spirit horse also saw Qin Wen's people at this time, and when he found that the other party actually had a spirit level monk and four Xuan Master upper level monks, he knew that Lu Dao had kicked the steel plate today, and he turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "There are high-level monks in this town, and all of them have retreated."
