Chapter 44: The Robber Who Robbed Only Ten Taels of Silver
At this point, after passing through this trail, there is a main road, which can directly lead to Qingliu City. On the road from Stone Town to Qingliu City, there were often some robbers robbing some caravans from south to north. And they look like caravans, so it's no surprise that they attract robbers.
Stone Town belongs to the three-regardless zone, even if there are rampant robbers here, no one cares. Over time, these robbers became the default presence of the merchants, and in this case, they were usually given some silver and they dispersed.
Zhan Qingxiao looked at these robbers, the swords in his hands were all made of ordinary mortal iron, and he didn't have a decent piece of clothing on his body, and he didn't have any cultivation, so it looked like he should be an ordinary civilian who couldn't survive.
"Third Highness, a rabble, the villain will be able to solve it in a moment. The commander of the guard who was born in the moon whispered.
"Third Highness?" Although Zhan Qingxiao was far away, his ear power was excellent, and he naturally heard the guard's name to Yue Fusheng, it seems that he is still a prince?
"How many times have I told you, call me the third prince outside, the third son!" Yue Fusheng slapped him on the back of the head and whispered.
"No need, this son will come out in person!" Yue Fusheng did not let the guard commander come forward.
Then he stepped forward, put on a smiling face, and said, "How much is this road money?"
When the leader of the robbers heard him say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said to a young man in sackcloth beside him: "Strategist, how much silver should we charge for our first robbery?"
"Tell him, ten taels of silver!" replied the sackcloth youth.
"Ten taels of silver!" the leader said loudly to Yue Fusheng.
Ten taels of silver is nothing to Yue Fusheng, but it makes him very curious, it stands to reason that you are a robber blocking the way, this silver is naturally the more the merrier, I didn't expect him to only need ten taels.
So he said, "I don't have ten taels of silver!"
"Ahh
"Who is the poor ghost? I mean I don't have a silver ticket as small as ten taels! I have at least a hundred taels of silver tickets here!, take it?" Yue Fusheng took out a silver ticket and said.
The leader of the robbers was stunned when he saw the silver ticket in his hand, and finally his face turned slightly red and said, "One hundred taels, we can't find it!"
"......" Yue Fusheng looked at him like a fool for a while, and then said very speechlessly: "I will give you all the one hundred taels of silver! I don't need you to find ninety taels for me!"
"Well, no! If you say that you will only rob ten taels, you will only rob ten taels. The leader of the robbers said immediately.
"Brother Qingxiao, is he a fool?" Zhang Wan'er suddenly said to Zhan Qingxiao.
Zhan Qingxiao also felt that the robber leader was a little stupid, but he didn't plan to say anything, but took out ten taels of silver, walked over, and said, "I have ten taels here." ”
When the leader of the robbers saw Zhan Qingxiao take out the silver, a look of joy appeared on his face, and then he grabbed the silver, returned to the sackcloth boy, handed it to him, and said, "Strategist, we have already got ten taels of silver." Now the little tiger is saved!"
"Da Ming, move the stones away and let them pass. The sackcloth boy took the money and said.
Then the leader of the robbers walked up to the boulder, clasped it with both hands, and with a slight effort, slowly moved the big boulder to the side of the road.
This boulder weighs a thousand catties, and ordinary people don't have the ability to move, as long as people who have reached the spiritual gathering period can move it with the help of spiritual power. Obviously, this guy is just in the forging period.
The young man in sackcloth walked up to Zhan Qingxiao and said, "We have no choice but to block the road and rob us!" I know that your strength is much stronger than ours, but you didn't make a move, but instead gave us silver, this kindness I Lu Xu remembered. If we have to rush over to save people, we will retire first! If we encounter a kindness one day, we will repay this kindness!"
After he had finished speaking, he called the leader of the robbers and the others to leave.
It was just a small episode, and it didn't stop them from continuing on their way, so they set off again.
There was nothing to do along the way, except for the "fake robbers" who met Lu Xu, they did not encounter any robbers again, and passed the path safely and came to the main road.
In the distance, you can see a tall and towering city, which should be Qingliu City.
In a border city like this, those who enter the city need to be interrogated and identified, otherwise enemy spies will be allowed to infiltrate.
However, since they are going to be spies, where can they be easily found out, so this interrogation is just a face-saving project to increase the income of those soldiers who defend the city.
"Stop, what are you doing?" asked the soldier at the gate, who stopped their convoy.
Yue Fusheng didn't speak, and the guard commander behind him stepped forward, took out a copy of the identity that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it over.
The soldiers guarding the city took it and looked at it carefully, their faces tightened, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Yue Fusheng, and they didn't collect money from them, and let them enter the city directly.
"Brother Zhan, let's find a place to stay first, eat first, rest for a day before leaving?" After entering the city, Yue Fusheng discussed with him.
"No need, let's have a meal and leave!" Zhan Qingxiao was in a hurry to go to Pinggang City to find Zhan Qingyun and them, so he didn't plan to delay.
"Okay, let's have dinner together and then hurry!" he said with a hint of smuggling.
"Yue Gongzi, you don't have to be like this! Now that the Northern Qi Empire has arrived, we still have our own affairs, so we must no longer be on the same road with you. So, you can play for a few days if you want to, and it has nothing to do with me. Seeing that he seemed to have to leave himself as his free guard, Zhan Qingxiao was naturally unhappy.
As he spoke, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and then he saw a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old in tattered clothes running towards him.
Passing by the boy, Zhan Qingxiao felt something stuffed in his hand.
And a fierce man chased after him, followed by seven or eight big men, and scolded loudly: "You rabbit cub, I see where you run!"
He crossed the sky, grabbed the little boy who had escaped, and searched for something on him, and asked angrily as he looked for it, "Little cub, where are the things?"
Then he punched and kicked the little boy, although the little boy was already thirteen or fourteen years old, this young man was generally able to withstand the blows of a vicious man. But the little boy seemed to be very weak, and he held his head, and he kicked him one by one, and soon shrank into a ball.
"Stop!" suddenly someone shouted, and then a young man in a sackcloth coat came up and said to the vicious man.
Zhan Qingxiao followed the voice and looked over, and the person who suddenly appeared was the coarse cloth-shirted young man Lu Xu who had stopped them from robbing before, and he was followed by the leader of the robbers.
Lu Xu walked up to the little boy and asked, "Xiaohu, are you okay?"
"Ahem, I'm fine, why are you here?" he said in surprise.
"Yu Laoqi, I brought ten taels of silver! You quickly let Xiaohu go!" Lu Xu took out the ten taels of silver that Zhan Qingxiao gave him and brought it to the man.
The man snorted coldly, and with a flick of his hand, the silver was swept away. He said: "That was the price before, and now, your brother has stolen my chicken song stone, don't want me to let him go so easily!"
"What is your Chicken Singing Stone? It's obviously my Lu family's Chicken Singing Stone!" Lu Xu argued.
"Hmph! It's mine in my hands Yu Qi! If your brother doesn't hand it over, don't even think about leaving! Someone come, arrest the two brothers for me!" he said disdainfully, and then ordered his thugs to make a gesture to take down the two men.
The big men behind him were about to step forward and grab the two brothers, when the brute force of the robber leader stopped in front of them.
"Xu Daming, don't think that you are born with a lot of strength, so you want to keep their brothers! You are just a person in the body forging stage, my eight subordinates are all in the spirit gathering stage, you had better get acquainted with each other and get out of the way, otherwise, you will not be polite to blame Lao Tzu!" Yu Qi said coldly.
Seeing that Xu Daming was still indifferent, with the posture of trying to protect the two brothers, Yu Qi directly asked the people behind him to do it.
Even if he is infinitely powerful, but against the cultivators, and the seven or eight people who have reached the spirit gathering period, they are naturally not opponents, and soon Xu Daming was beaten down, and then the three of them were caught and taken away.
Zhan Qingxiao and the others didn't plan to make a move, if he had to take care of everything in this world, then he wouldn't be busy at all.
The three of them were taken away, and when they passed by, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy stared at Zhan Qingxiao, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but Zhan Qingxiao felt that there was something strange in this look, but he didn't know what the specific reason was.
