Section 26 Riding with Bandits

"Brother, how are you thinking about it? Shang Zhongmou observed the young man in front of him, his many years of experience in business, and he could tell at a glance that the young man in front of him did not know martial arts. It is really the size and posture of a martial artist, which is very different from ordinary people, even if he brings a sword, it is just an ornament, and then he asked quietly.

"Then let's go according to the price you said, boss Shang. "Thirty taels of silver, although Shi Yi knew that the other party intended to kill him, but he didn't want to entangle some money, it was really this caravan, it was the first one on the road in Shicheng, and the next one would be a month later at the earliest, Shi Yi really couldn't wait so long, now that Zhao Lingzhou and the two are dead, the longer this trip drags on, the easier it is to change.

The reason why Shi Yi hesitated now is that most of his previous silver taels were given to Su Zhicheng's family. And paying with gold ingots is a bit ostentatious. Shi Yi originally thought that Zhao Lingzhou and Uncle Ma would have some on them, but he didn't expect that they would be the same as himself, but there were five or six ingots of gold, and the silver money on his body couldn't make up thirty taels together.

Hearing Shang Zhongmou's question, Shi Yi sighed, and reluctantly handed over the gold ingot, now that the caravan is about to travel, he can't care so much.

"My brother is really refreshing, I look like a person who makes a lot of money, and this trip is wrapped up in my brother. Come, this carriage is now for you, brother. Shang Zhongmou collected the money, I don't know if it was for the sake of the fat sheep's face, and his attitude changed a lot more enthusiastically, so he arranged a carriage to come over.

Shi Yi lifted the curtain of the carriage without moving, and couldn't help frowning and looking at Shang Zhongmou, it turned out that there were other people in this carriage. You must know that thirty taels of silver is enough to charter a painting boat, from Chu Nan along the Fubo River downstream, all the way to Rongliu, if it were not for the stagnation of shipping during the sacrifice to the river god, Shi Yi said that he would not choose, both bumpy and dangerous land.

Now, thirty taels of silver have been paid, and even a carriage has to sit with others, and it is really impossible to think of yourself as a wronged person, thinking of this, Shi Yi can't help but be a little angry.

"Brother, do you know, there are many bandits in Rong Liu, and now there are water bandits on the Fubo River, this time the boatmen stopped all the boats by sacrificing to the river god, but in fact, they were all troubled by the water bandits, and the boatmen hoped to put pressure on the government to come forward to exterminate the bandits along the river. So, this waterway has been temporarily blocked, and this land route has become the only option, and now the caravan location is hard to find, it's really not that I deliberately embarrassed you, brother. When Shang Zhongmou saw Shi Yi's expression, he immediately explained.

When Shi Yi heard this, he felt that Shang Zhongmou's sincere words did not seem to be fake, so he didn't care too much, said a few words casually, turned around and got into the carriage.

"Boss, why bother with this kind of fat sheep, take him outside the border and do him for a hundred, this kid is really rich, gold ingots, slaughtering him is enough for a brother to be free for a long time. After leaving, the little brother beside Shang Zhongmou said greedily.

"Loose fart, are you blind, the number on the gold ingot handed over by that kid was just typed by Lao Tzu a few years ago, and he personally gave it to the head of the Eagle Feather Alliance Law Enforcement Hall. You all fucking take care of my paws, whoever dares to make trouble for me, Lao Tzu will never spare him. Shang Zhongmou was not surprised by this kind of rhetoric of the younger brother, they were originally the kind of characters who met bandits were businessmen, and businessmen became bandits. However, this time, when Shang Zhongmou heard the words of the younger brother, he slapped the back of the other party's head hard, and warned the rest of the younger brothers with a scolding. Be careful, if he provokes the Eagle Feather Alliance, he won't have to mix in the Hades Realm.

At this time, Shi Yi didn't know that a big crisis was wiped out by an ingot of gold he got from Yansen's room. However, according to Shi Yi's current strength, it should be Shang Zhongmou who picked up a life for them.

Shi Yi entered the carriage and sat down, and saluted the people in the carriage, it turned out that there was an old man and a young man in the carriage, it should be two grandparents and grandchildren, the old man was burly, he should be a person who practiced martial arts, and the little girl looked like she was five or six years old, and she was sleeping soundly in the old man's arms at this time. The old man also seemed to be the kind of person who didn't smile, and he only nodded slightly when Shi Yi saw the salute, and then didn't say anything.

Shi Yi smiled and felt that this was good, so he would have less disturbance along the way, and he could plan with peace of mind to contact Xiao Shenhe after arriving at Rong Liu.

Shi Yi was thinking about it when there was a shouting outside the carriage, and then the horses neighed, the wheels turned, and the caravan set off.

It will take five days to get from here to Rongliu at the earliest, and I hope that everything will go smoothly during the journey. Listening to the sound of rolling wheels, Shi Yi closed his eyes and couldn't help but think.

............

The bow and arrow were shot on the carriage, making a dense doping sound, listening to the crying of ghosts and wolves outside, Shi Yi sat in the carriage a little helpless, today is the third day of the trip, but he has already encountered four waves of bandits Liu, the first three groups of people and horses, are some small bandits who are not in the climate, and the caravan was sent away without much effort.

However, this time is obviously different from the previous times, listening to the movement outside, the number of people attacking the camp this time should be quite large, and it is still at night, I'm afraid it is not so easy to deal with.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid. The little girl was awakened by the shouts outside, and cowered in the old man's arms with a crying voice.

"Yun Niang is not afraid, there is a grandfather here. The old man patted the little girl's back gently, and while comforting, he took out the sheath of his saber and held it tightly in his hand.

At this moment, a thief ripped off the curtain of the carriage, he jumped into the car and ignored Shi Yi, howling and slashing at the old man, who seemed to be the most threatening.

The old man knew that there was no way to avoid it, but he saw that he was holding Yun Niang with one hand, and the other hand holding the knife was full of green tendons, and the blade was facing the thief, and he was ready to fight to the death.

At this moment, he saw that the thin young man who had been sitting in the carriage for the past few days suddenly stood in front of the thief without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and the old man couldn't help sighing, sighing that this young man's courage was commendable, but he was a little stupid, and he might be able to save his life by hiding aside.

Just when the old man was sorry, with a muffled sound of "bang", the thief flew out of the carriage like a rag doll, and happened to smash on the thief who passed through here, and neither of them stood up again for a while.

This scene shocked the old man, he looked at the thin young man in front of him, his face was a little pale, and he didn't know what to say.

"My husband is fine, now there are many thieves outside, and it happened suddenly, and the caravan guards were dispersed, but this is all temporary, and it will be dawn in another hour, and when the caravan everyone stabilizes the situation, the thieves should retreat." We might as well just wait in the carriage until dawn and see each other again, and the carriage is still safe. After cleaning up the thief, Shi Yi said to the old man with a smile.

As soon as Shi Yi finished speaking, before the old man could answer, several rockets were shot at the carriage, one of which passed through the window and was shot into the carriage, and the flames on the arrows scattered, igniting most of the items in the carriage in an instant.

The old man didn't say a word, and quickly jumped out of the carriage with his granddaughter in his hand, Shi Yi twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, and reluctantly followed.
