"It's come to this, don't be too sad, the eldest lady should not be too sad, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood! Although your goods have lost a lot, they have finally been saved!" Lu Chen said.

Guo Xiuyun glanced back at the trucks in the caravan, looked at the burned silk, and was so distressed that he was dripping blood: "What you said is light, these goods are all the net worth of the Guo family, and now that it is like this, do you know how much I have to lose?"

"That's no way, who told you to offend the villain, if you were a little vigilant, maybe you wouldn't have made such a fuss!" Lu Chen sighed lightly.

Guo Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Chen in surprise, "You know!"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is premeditated, will ordinary bandits directly burn your goods?" Lu Chen shook his head and said.

Guo Xiuyun smiled bitterly: "Little brother is really smart, this has made you aware of it! Maybe my Guo family is destined to have this disaster!"

"It's good to know in your heart, what to do, a shrewd businessman like you has his own plans in his heart!" Lu Chen plucked the match and smiled lightly.

Guo Xiuyun said with a sad face: "I'm a woman, can I fight those arrogant and unreasonable villains?"

Lu Chen didn't say anything, he didn't want to meddle in the affairs of other people's families.

Guo Xiuyun saw that Lu Chen didn't say anything, and sighed: "Hey, why am I telling you this! I've already caused you trouble, and I don't know how to thank you!"

"Don't get in the way, your caravan is kind enough to take me in, and I will help you teach those bandits a lesson, as a matter of course, it should be repaid. The eldest lady wants to thank me, but you don't have to!" Lu Chen said indifferently.

Guo Xiuyun said with sincere gratitude: "Little brother is chivalrous at first glance, if you don't make a move today, our caravan will be over!"

"Don't praise me so much, otherwise I'll be a little embarrassed!" Lu Chen's tone was very kind.

"Little brother, it's really funny!" Guo Xiuyun covered her mouth and smiled, her beautiful eyes flashing: "I haven't asked your Excellency for your name!"

"The surname is Lu, a single name is a cloud character!" Lu Chen said casually, and did not tell the other party his real name, of course, there is no benefit in knowing his real name, and it is better to be cautious when wandering outside!

Guo Xiuyun smiled lightly: "The little brother turned out to be Lu Yun, this is a coincidence, there is also a cloud in my name, it seems that we are very compatible!"

"Fate?" Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled warmly: "Wandering outside, meeting is fate!"

At this time, Lao Wang, the personal butler next to Guo Xiuyun, stood up and suddenly bowed to Lu Chen: "Little brother, the old man has eyes and no beads during the day, and the adults don't remember the villain's mistakes, please forgive me!"

"Old man, you don't have to be polite, I have received your favor, and it is natural to help you, be polite, there is still a long way to go to Jingzhou, and next, I will trouble you for a few days!" Lu Chen glanced at the housekeeper Lao Wang and smiled slightly.

This old Wang acted cautiously, thinking about everything for the sake of the caravan, and empathy, which is understandable. Besides, Lu Chen is not the kind of person who cares.

"No trouble, no trouble, little brother can join our caravan, it is the honor of our caravan, you can stay as long as you want!" the housekeeper Lao Wang Lian said, admiring Lu Chen's open-mindedness.

There is such a master to stay in the caravan, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, and there is no need to be afraid of the next time he encounters a bandit, of course Lao Wang is happy.

After seeing Lu Chen's powerful strength, everyone in the caravan felt that he was an unfathomable and mysterious master, and compared to the previous indifference, his attitude became very enthusiastic at this moment.

The sky soon dawned, and the morning sun rose in the east, shining on the official road, a blood-red color.

The corpses of the bandits lay on the ground, discarded on the road like garbage, and the bloody scene was shocking.

It is conceivable that last night, there must have been a thrilling battle here.

The caravan rested a little and continued to set off towards Jingzhou.

According to the speed they are driving now, it will take four or five days to reach Yuyang County, Jingzhou, and Lu Chen is not in a hurry, slowly following the caravan on the road, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers on the side of the road.

On the fourth day, the caravan met a group of bandits on the road, and according to the old rules, they had to pay a huge toll this time, otherwise these greedy bandits would not have let a 'big fat sheep' slip away under their noses.

On the official road, the caravan and the bandits confronted each other, and the atmosphere was tense, ready to fight at any time.

A group of bandits surrounded the caravan, and the leader of the bandits, a strange-looking dwarf, demanded that the caravan pay 100,000 taels of silver for the journey.

If you dare to refuse, the thieves will release cruel words, and they must let the caravan chickens and dogs not stay, and the blood will flow like a river, and the arrogance will be very arrogant.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money, and the caravan can take it out, but the loss is too great.

Originally, this trip to the business was difficult to do, and if a piece of meat was scraped off by the bandits, the caravan's business would basically be a bamboo basket.

The eldest lady naturally refused, but if they didn't pay the money, the thieves would never let them leave.

Just when the caravan was in a dilemma, Lu Chen suddenly burst out of the caravan like lightning, and directly slashed it with a sword, splitting the bandit leader in half on the spot, instantly scaring the gang of bandits into the wilderness and running away in the blink of an eye.

Under the protection of Lu Chen, the caravan traveled for five days in a row, and finally arrived safely all the way to Yuyang County, Jingzhou.

The caravan was able to arrive in Yuyang County safely, Lu Chen, a mysterious master, played a huge role, and Guo Xiuyun invited him to the family as a guest in order to thank him.

Lu Chen had no provenance for the time being, so he readily agreed and entered Zhengcheng with the caravan.

The Guo family was a well-known family in Zhengzhou, and in the early years, their silk business spread all over Jingzhou, and many shops were thriving, earning a lot of money, and their financial resources were quite strong.

After the owner of the Guo family was worth a lot of money, he spent a lot of silver in Zhengcheng and bought a house with two entrances and two exits, covering a huge area.

As a distinguished guest of the Guo family, Lu Chen was warmly entertained after entering the Guo family, and then was arranged by Guo Xiuyun to live in the courtyard of the east courtyard.

After all, Lu Chen's help to the caravan was obvious to all, and the Guo family dared to slack off.

After he lived in Guo's house, he also knew that Guo Xiuyun was not easy for this woman.

The Guo family has a total of five people, including a father and a dumb uncle, and two teenage siblings below.

lost his mother at an early age, and his father was in business in his early years, coming and going in the wind and rain, and he became ill from hard work, and suffered from an injury, and now he can only care for the elderly at home

, completely unable to take care of themselves.

Her uncle can't speak, he was born disabled, and he can't take over family affairs, and her two younger brothers and sisters are still young and ignorant, and the entire Guo family is managed by her, because she is shrewd and capable, and has made a name for herself as a strong woman in the Zhengcheng business community.

After Lu Chen settled in Guo's house, he wandered around Zhengcheng for two days and collected a lot of news about the 'Ten Thousand Swords Villa'.

According to his understanding, Wanjian Villa was founded more than 800 years ago, and is very famous in Kyushu, controlling the entire nine towns of Lantian County in Jingzhou, and controlling a population of nearly 10 million.

Unlike the Eight Great Sects, this force rules Lantian County with the descendants of the family as the core. After hundreds of years of development and growth, the number of children of this family has reached nearly 200,000, and the children of the family are all over the corners of major towns, and the management of Lantian County can be described as solid.

In the territory of Lantian County, Wanjian Villa is almost an existence like an earth emperor, with the absolute right to speak.

There are three current leaders of Wanjian Villa, Jian Haifeng, the owner of the big village, Jian Junxiong, the owner of the second village, and Jian Shaoze, the master of the third village!

And their young owner is Jian Wuchen, who shined in the Hidden Dragon Competition half a year ago.

The enemy that Lu Chen wants to find should be hidden in it, but the Wanjian Villa family has nearly 200,000 children and a large population base, and trying to find the murderer is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, which is not easy to say.

Five or six days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Chen relaxed at Guo's house

On this day, the weather was sunny and the wind was beautiful, and he was about to leave his post to thank Miss Guo for her hospitality, but unexpectedly encountered some trouble.

"Guo Xiuyun, you, come out to Lao Tzu!"

"Don't think about hiding today, when will the money you owe Lao Tzu be repaid?"

"Yes, come out quickly, and my rent, shouldn't it be time for me too?"

Who would have thought that suddenly, a large group of people rushed into the Guo Mansion menacingly, shouting to settle accounts with Miss Guo, and the entire Guo family's mansion was in an uproar, chickens and dogs jumping.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the housekeeper Lao Wang immediately sent the guard Dong Qiu to stop him, turned around and rushed into the lobby, and reported what happened outside to Guo Xiuyun.

Guo Xiuyun wore a purple dress, her demeanor was graceful, she walked out of the lobby with an expressionless face, looking at the mess outside, her brows couldn't help but lock, she suddenly scolded: "Everyone, don't be impatient, if you have something to say!"

"Miss Guo, may I ask when your store owes me 150,000 taels of goods! My snow yarn shop has been unable to open the capital turnover recently, and I urgently need this silver, last time I said that I wanted the old man to give you half a month to raise it, and now that the time is up today, please give an explanation!" An old man dressed as an outsider shouted at Guo Xiuyun, his face full of sadness.

"Guo Xiuyun, and mine, your store borrowed 180,000 taels of silver from our money bank, when will it be repaid!" another thin man said next, with a fierce expression.

"Xiuyun, it's time to pay the rent for more than a dozen shops you opened in Zhengcheng, Lao Yu came here today on behalf of those small bosses, it's not easy for everyone, but you should always give an explanation!"

As he spoke, the remaining dozen or so people who were begging for debts became more and more excited, and they all rushed to find Guo Xiuyun to ask for an explanation for various reasons.

All in all, it's about asking for money.
