Just as the convoy was about to start, Li Bantou saw someone walking towards the convoy in front of him, this person was dressed in green clothes and dressed as a scholar.

The man walked to the side of the convoy, saluted the leader of the convoy, and said, "This gentleman is invited, Xiaosheng wants to go north, I wonder if your convoy can take me for a ride, so that I can pass through Mopan Mountain, where bandits are rampant?"

The leader of the convoy looked at the scholar in front of him, who was no more than twenty years old, with a righteous face, and did not look like a villain.

But he also understood that the origin of the person in front of him was unknown, and he and others had to pass through the place where the bandits were infested, so they could not easily bring people they didn't know, so as not to bring spies into the team and bring disaster to themselves.

Therefore, he still refused politely: "This son, we are just a businessman, and I don't know the son, so I can't take the risk of taking you, and please forgive me." ”

Luo Yin saw his concerns, so he smiled: "I just heard that there are bandits in Mopan Mountain ahead, and they often kill people, so I want to go with everyone." There must be so many guards in your firm that you should be able to protect them, so you take the liberty to make this request. ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his arms, and looked at it as if it was about twenty taels, "This gentleman, please rest assured, I won't ask for shelter in vain, this ingot of silver will be used as the travel expenses of my peers, do you think?"

At this time, the girl in yellow in the carriage looked at the scholar who came to ask for her companionship, and remembered that she had met Shi Cai in the restaurant. I thought that I and the others didn't dare to go into the mountain alone, so I found this convoy to go with him, and this scholar was alone, if he couldn't walk with the convoy, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to walk into the mountain at all.

A trace of sympathy suddenly appeared in her heart, so she poked her head out of the carriage and said, "This gentleman, I don't think this son is a bad person, why don't you let him go with him?"

The leader of the convoy looked at the ingot of silver handed over by Luo Yin, swallowed slightly, and thought to himself, this scholar looks thin and weak, and he looks weak, I'm afraid there will be no threat, even if there is, what can he do alone?

Thinking of this, he reached out and took the ingot of silver, and then said, "You must remember not to leave the convoy easily, you must follow the arrangement, otherwise we will not blame us for leaving you halfway." ”

When Luo Yin heard that this person agreed, he thanked him with a happy face, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to the girl in yellow in the carriage, thanking her for speaking for herself.

For the sake of the money, the leader arranged for Luo Yin to sit in a carriage. Then, with a shout, the convoy set off towards the north of the town.

The convoy slowly walked towards Mopan Mountain with a large number of goods, but no one noticed when everyone went on the road, and the window of a house opposite the inn was ajar, and a man was observing the situation outside through the half-open window.

"You quickly go back to the cottage to inform the owner, the fat sheep has been on the road, please ambush the brothers on the mountain road, and wait for the fat sheep to send it to the door by itself. The man then closed the window and turned to the other person behind him.

"Yes, my subordinates immediately rushed to the cottage to inform everyone. So saying, the man went downstairs, came to the courtyard, and took out a horse, and mounted the horse and galloped towards the northern Mopan Mountain.

On the other hand, the caravan that was already targeted by others was ignorant of it, and still headed towards Mopan Mountain according to the original plan. Due to the large convoy, the large number of people, and the large number of goods on the car, the whole convoy walked very slowly, and it took more than an hour to enter the Mopan Mountain.

After entering the mountain, the originally scattered team began to become nervous, and the chatter and laughter that came from time to time before entering the mountain gradually disappeared.

A strong man with a big knife on his back rode a horse beside the convoy, looking left and right vigilantly, always paying attention to the movements left and right and ahead. He looked at the slow-moving convoy and frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the speed of the turtle now.

I heard him shout loudly: "Hurry up, speed up a little faster, and you can't get out until dark like this, do you want to spend the night in the mountains, or do you want the bandits to invite you to dinner?"

Luo Yin looked at this strong man, only to see that his muscles were bulging, he was full of anger when he spoke, and his eyes flashed from time to time, so he understood that this strong man must be good at martial arts.

Turning his head to inquire about the guards around him, he learned that this person was the leader of the guards of this convoy, named Zhang Hai, who also had some fame in the rivers and lakes when he was young, but when he got older, he no longer mixed in the rivers and lakes, accepted the invitation of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and became the head of the escort of the commercial house.

Everyone in the convoy listened to Zhang Hai's shout, shook their spirits, and accelerated their pace.

Everyone knows the danger of this Mopan Mountain, and they have long heard of the prestige of the mountain thieves. Although his own convoy guards many strong soldiers and horses, he is not afraid of the reputation of these bandits, but it is best not to meet them, otherwise there will be deaths and injuries once the fight starts, and no one dares to guarantee that he will be able to survive all of them.

After Zhang Hai's words, the speed of the convoy really increased a lot, and after more than an hour, the sun slowly walked from the sky to the west.

At this time, the convoy had been traveling for half a day, and the speed slowly slowed down under the fatigue of people and horses.

Zhang Hai looked at this situation and knew that he needed to rest for a while, otherwise neither the animals nor the personnel would be able to withstand it, so he raised his hand and shouted to stop, "Rest for a quarter of an hour, and then hurry later." ”

Everyone was already tired at this time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and the originally silent convoy suddenly thundered with joy.

Zhang Hai was sitting on his horse, and was about to get off the horse to rest, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a white light flashing in the woods not far away.

The white light flickered, but it caught his attention, because it was all too familiar, and it was the light that often appeared when weapons reflected sunlight.

"There's someone in the woods!!," he shouted, not daring to ask for further information.

When the guards heard the warning, they could no longer care about the fatigue on their bodies, and drew their weapons and set up a position against the woods in front of them. The rest of the convoy jumped up from the ground and hid behind the guards.

Just after the convoy took up the posture to meet the enemy, there were shouts from the woods beside the road ahead, and then a group of people rushed out with sharp swords in hand, and after a short time rushed to a distance of three feet in front of the convoy, aiming their swords and bows at the people in the convoy.

For a while, the two sides were tense, and a conflict would break out at any time.

Zhang Hai, the leader of the convoy's guards, got off his horse and took two steps forward, hugged his fist at the group of robbers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I am Zhang Hai of the Four Seas Trading Company, I don't know which way I am a friend in front of me, can I report my name?"

One of the thieves stepped forward, and saw that he was in his thirties, elegant and elegant, not like a bandit, but like a scribe.

"Hehe, who am I, it turned out to be the famous broken door knife Zhang Hai, I can't imagine that you don't want to be a good knight, and you actually did a lackey act that works hard for others, it's really worthless. ”
