At daybreak, many bandits roared away, leaving only a mess.

Shang Zhongmou waved his hand to stop it with a blue face, and wanted to chase after the group of subordinates, the thieves seemed to be defeated, but in fact they still had the strength to fight, but it was the caravan's side, exhausted after a night of fierce fighting, in fact, it was the end of the crossbow, and it was not good to catch up, but to increase casualties, today is only the third day, who knows what bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods will pop out in the next two days, and the most important thing now is to preserve the strength.

Shang Zhongmou took people and inspected the losses along the caravan, and he walked all the way down and found that the goods were still secondary, and the loss of manpower was really not small. According to the current situation, if there is a tough battle in the next few days, it is impossible to say that the gecko will cut off its tail and give up some cumbersome small businesses.

"Boss, boss. Shang Zhongmou lowered his head all the way to think of countermeasures, and a shout from the younger brother woke him up from his contemplation, and he glared at the other party dissatisfied.

When he came back to his senses, he was a little surprised by the sight that he had unconsciously walked to the vicinity of the carriage where Shi Yi was, which had turned into a human purgatory, and the thieves who had fallen nearby were even more than the total number of thieves killed by him and his men in a single night.

And most of them died in a miserable state, either the chest and abdomen collapsed, or the head was opened, and some of the hands and feet were twisted like twists. Although the deaths were different, Shang Zhongmou believed that it was all from the hands of one person, when did such a big master come to his caravan.

Shang Zhongmou remembered that in addition to Shi Yi, there was only a pair of ancestors and grandchildren in this car, although the old man knew martial arts, but he would never reach such a level, and he was a knife, so it could not be a knife wound no matter how you look at it.

The answer was obvious, Shang Zhongmou looked at Shi Yi who was lying under the tree and pretending to sleep, he patted the dust on his body, and walked towards Shi Yi with his subordinates with a solemn face.

Shi Yi didn't fall asleep, no matter how thick his nerves were, it was impossible to fall asleep here, in a place where the dead were asleep, it was really a little heavy blood consumption to the enemy last night, plus he didn't sleep all night, which made him a little dizzy, so he lay down under the tree to rest for a while.

"Boss Shang, this is different from what you said when you set off, if you encounter horse bandits of this size in the next few days, I doubt that the caravan will be able to cross the border of Rongliu and Liu. As soon as Shang Zhongmou appeared, Shi Yi found out and felt that he was walking towards this side with his subordinates, but Shi Yi didn't get up, and blocked Shang Zhongmou's words when he opened his mouth.

"Brother, I really can't complain about my brother, who would have thought that along the way, I would meet Rong Liu officials and bandits coming out to forage for food, I can only say that I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out this time, and I was very unlucky. When Shang Zhongmou heard this, he stopped and said to Shi Yi with a wry smile.

"Officials and bandits? What is that, robbers who rob houses and houses, and they can still distinguish between three, six, nine and so on. Shi Yi opened his eyes when he heard this, and asked Shang Zhongmou suspiciously.

"Brother, don't you know, bandits and robbers in other places are only big and small, the bandits here on the border of Rong Liu and Chu State, there are many doorways, last night's one if I guessed correctly, it was pretended to be the Rong Liu border guard troops, they sometimes go out to loot in the name of bandits, so they are called official bandits, but it is rare, I don't want to take bad luck this time for you and me to meet, hey." Shang Zhongmou explained to Shi Yi with a bitter face.

"Officers and soldiers robbed the road? Listen to what you mean, it's not once or twice, this Rongliu border guard is too bold, right, no one in their court cares about this kind of thing. Shi Yi felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, so he frowned and asked.

"Brother, don't you know, this kind of thing is just common in Rong Liu's country, I have been in business for 25 years, Rong Liu border guard, so many years to change not ten but also eight, which one of them will send people out to loot, it is no longer strange. This is nothing, although the officials and bandits occasionally come out to loot, but not frequently, the most terrible is the horse bandits raised in the Rong Liu clan, they are not only well-equipped, but also disciplined, if they are embellished, it is really over. Shang Zhongmou said and explained to Shi Yi.

"If I'm not mistaken, Rong Liu is only one-fifth the size of the Chu State, and the population is not even as large as the Chu State as a province, how dare their clan rob the merchants of the Chu State so blatantly? The old man who was in the same car with Shi Yi had been taking care of his granddaughter beside him, and when he heard Shang Zhongmou's words, he couldn't help but ask.

"What the court of Chu thinks, who knows. I just know that this kind of thing is not a day or two, especially in recent decades, but it has become a little more intense. In recent days, Chu and Rong Liu are not in harmony, I think the two have heard a lot, in fact, the reason is simple, Chu is located inland, although the territory is vast, but it does not produce salt, Chu domestic salt is mostly transported from Rong Liu, who let Rong Liu Linhai. Originally, Rong Liu and Chu had an agreement that Rong Liu would not rob the official salt transportation team, but recently, I don't know what happened, Rong Liu tore up the agreement, and last year not only openly robbed the salt team, but also caused the death of the salt transportation supervisor Dangchao Horse. The court of Chu has not said anything so far, but now the soaring price of salt in Chu is comparable to gold, which has prompted more merchants of Chu to take risks and smuggle salt to Rongliu. Hearing the old man mention the Chu Imperial Court, Shang Zhongmou looked a little disdainful, but he still explained.

After listening to Shang Zhongmou's words, Shi Yi felt that things were really a bit paradoxical. This Rong Liu country, the country is small but not humble, the strength is small but not afraid of the strong, rude and insulting the neighbors, greedy and clumsy, it is simply a look of a dead country.

The absurd thing is that Rong Liu has enjoyed the national honor for two hundred years, although he has been dying, the Chu State has not treated him well, which is simply incomprehensible.

However, Shi Yi has read the history books, and he knows that at the beginning, the Chu State was not as cowardly as it is now, in the past hundred years, the Chu State had used troops against Rong Liu three times, but in the end they all died because of the illness of the main general. Thinking of this, Shi Yi instinctively felt that this should be Xiao Shenhe's handiwork, and even now that he thinks back, the Chu State has changed five emperors in the past forty years, and it feels inseparable from the Xiao family. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain that Xiao Shenhe is in Rong Liuguo, which is comparable to the prestige of the emperor, so thinking about it, why Rong Liu Guo is so unscrupulous seems to make sense.

Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh that cultivators are comparable to gods and Buddhas to ordinary people, even if they enjoy a country and sit on the emperor of the world, they are just a chicken-like existence in front of them.

But this is also more firm, Shi Yi's determination to go to Rong Liu Guo, he stood up and flicked the dust on his clothes, and said to Shang Zhongmou with a smile: "It's useless to say more, now the trip is more than halfway, or it will be at the station in two days, even if there are tigers in front of it, now you have to break through." By the way, Boss Shang, my carriage was destroyed by the officials and bandits last night, and I myself have nothing to do, but the old people and children here, please help us get a car. ”
