Chapter 17: Encountering Bandits
"Xiaohai, I'm afraid I have goods to bet on this time," on the way to the Green Snake Gang, a guy from Ziyuan Altar said to Zhang Hai.
In a few days, Zhang Hai and more than 20 people under Guo Tanzhu have become somewhat familiar, most of the people in the rivers and lakes are informal, and everyone will be brothers in working together in the future.
"Brother Wang is right, it is estimated that I am going to bet on a trip, otherwise Lord Guo Tan would not be in such a hurry to gather brothers, but this is my first time to charge the goods, if there is anything I don't understand, you big brothers, bear with me," Zhang Hai was a little worried about the first time to charge the goods.
"Xiaohai rest assured" the other guy was relieved
"Our Green Snake Gang is famous, and there are generally no thieves who don't have long eyes to intercept the goods, I haven't encountered a few interceptions for a few years, even if there are some thieves who haven't heard of our Green Snake Gang, they will be sent away in a few clicks. ”
While speaking, a group of people had already come to the hut marked with Guo Tanzhu, and the hut naturally could not accommodate so many people, all of them entered the small courtyard, and Guo Tanzhu was already waiting in the courtyard at this time.
"Lao Wang won't do it this time, he has already told me in advance, are there any other people who won't do this trip?" Guo Tan said when he saw that the people had already arrived
"Boss Guo, how long will it take this time, my wife is about to give birth, I won't go far away, I don't want my child to be born without seeing his father," a man said.
"This trip is not far, it will only take about half a month to go back and forth, and I can't delay the day when your wife will give birth" Guo Tanzhu has most of the situation of everyone here, and naturally knows when the wife of this talking man will give birth.
Zhang Hai calculates the days, he will stay in the Green Snake Gang for about half a year, at most in a few more days, although the benefits of the Green Snake Gang are still far from enough for him, some of the long time he will naturally not do, he has planned to wait for the rivers and lakes to leave the Green Snake Gang, by the way to find a way to make money, there is really no way to try to fight those mountain bandits who block the road, or the attention of the wealthy families, although most of the mountain bandits and thieves are forced to live by the poor, but there are still a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who do the work of robbing homes and houses, generally speaking, this kind of bandits will gather a lot of money, Maybe if you're lucky, you'll soon be able to gather the resources of Kaimai Dan, although it's a bit disdainful to say it, but a large part of Zhang Hai's skills are body methods, light skills, and it's still easier to really do some things like a gentleman on the beam.
"Since we have no opinions, we will take this trip," Guo Tan made the final decision when he saw that no one spoke.
"This trip is an old acquaintance Boss Chen, he and a few other fur merchants want to transport some goods to Haoyue City, although it is not far, but because of the time, you can't take the official road and can only start from the path, and it is very likely that you will encounter bandits on the way, so this time you have to take good guys, but don't worry too much, this road has been walked before without many problems" The last sentence said to Zhang Hai, a newcomer.
"Okay, there's nothing else, you go back and pack up some things, gather outside the gang tomorrow morning, Zhang Hai, if you don't know what to bring, you can ask a few of them, don't miss anything." Guo Tanzhu finally said
"I know, thank you for your concern," Zhang Haidao.
Master Guo Tan nodded, and let everyone disperse, after all, except for Zhang Hai, they are all old guys who know what to do, so there is no need to say more.
The next day, Zhang Hai followed the others to the door of the Green Snake Gang, it was still very early, it was estimated that it was when people were just about to get up, at this time there were not many people at the door of the Green Snake Gang, but there were two or three carriages parked, one was full of the fur of various beasts, one was full of all kinds of sundries, and one didn't know what it was for, it seemed that these were the goods that Zhang Hai and they were going to escort.
Guo Tanzhu has arrived, and he is chatting with a middle-aged man at this time, and the two laugh a few times from time to time, and they seem to be very familiar.
As soon as Zhang Hai's group approached, the two stopped chatting and began to instruct their subordinates to make various preparations.
Wait until the morning sun just came out, the group officially set off, the wheels of the carriage pressed over the cyan stone slab and slowly moved forward, Zhang Hai and other people of the Green Snake Gang communicated while hurrying, they were all people who went south and north, there was never a shortage of topics, Zhang heard a lot of rumors in their chat, they had not heard of all kinds of rumors, and they had a lot of knowledge, but there was not much intersection with the people in the caravan, Guo Tanzhu had been chatting with the leader of the caravan, and they had cooperated many times and were very familiar.
The route Guo Tan Lord has already discussed with the caravan, everyone just keeps following, I don't know if it is the large number of people in the group or the banner of the Green Snake Gang is too loud, although it is not a safe official road along the way, but there is no thief who is not long-eyed, eight or nine days have passed, and I see that it is getting closer and closer to Haoyue City, I am afraid that nothing will happen, originally Zhang Hai still thought that there would be any fierce fights along the way, but these days except for the people under Guo Tan Master and occasionally in the wild place to play some game to relieve hunger, there is almost no place to use force, for the people in the rivers and lakes is indeed a little boring。
Unlike Zhang Hai and the others in the dart bureau, the caravan saw that it was getting closer and closer to Hazy Moon City, and the more relaxed their mentality became.
"Pay attention, there is a mountain barrier in front, but it is notoriously dangerous, it is very likely that there will be mountain bandits, brothers, don't be careless" Just as he was about to walk into a mountain road, Guo Tanzhu spoke. He has bet on the goods many times, and he has a certain intuition about where there will be bandits, although the Green Snake Gang is quite famous in the rivers and lakes, but the bandits are not even afraid of the government, it is a big deal to intercept the goods and change to another place to continue, what can the Green Snake Gang do.
"Yes" The others answered unanimously, working outside is not like you can laugh at it normally haha, Guo Tan Master must be dignified.
Everyone walked carefully on the mountain road, and it was a dangerous place on either side of the woods or boulders.
"If you can't figure it out, there will really be mountain bandits," Zhang Hai thought.
I don't know if the people with spiritual veins have stronger intuition, and they didn't walk much, Zhang Hai and the others really encountered mountain bandits, and the number of people on the other side was afraid that there were fifty or sixty people, which was not small, and rushed out of a dense forest, with Zhang Hai's eyesight, several of them were afraid that their martial arts were not weak, and even one of the leaders even put a lot of pressure on Zhang Hai.
"Friends on the road, our Green Snake Gang came out to charge the goods, they are all mixed to eat, please raise your noble hands, and leave a line to see each other in the future"
Guo Tanzhu spoke first, this tone was different from what Zhang Hai imagined, Guo Tanzhu, who had a somewhat hot temper, would actually speak well to the thieves, in fact, this is also a habit of the dart game, after all, if it is really a fight, I am afraid that some casualties will be indispensable, and if someone is really injured, they are all brothers and no one is comfortable.
However, the other party still dared to come over when he saw the banner of the Green Snake Gang, and he probably made up his mind.
"I know that this is the Green Snake Gang holding goods, but recently the brothers have been unable to open the pot, so we naturally won't let go of these goods," said the bearded bandit leader on the other side.
"Then I'll give you five hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid these are enough for all the heroes to be free for a while, after all, the sword is not long-sighted, and it's not good if it's injured" The caravan leader spoke, he didn't have the experience of being intercepted, for these people, sometimes as long as they give a certain amount of money, they can be allowed to retreat.
Merchants pay attention to harmony and wealth, and if these dart players do not stop it, it will undoubtedly be extremely bad for those of them who are powerless.
"I'm afraid that your batch of goods is worth tens of thousands of taels, and five hundred taels want to send a few of our brothers, and call them Hanako."
