After testing his strength, the warlord Daran took Shidewa to the South Ridge to meet the chieftain and the chieftain.

The chieftain and the chief looked at Da Ran and Shi Dewa excitedly, and the chief said: "As far as I know, the Xurui Dynasty has less than ten people who have reached the Great Martial Sect in terms of force, and now, our Changyu clan has produced two Great Martial Sects at once, this is amazing! With the commanders of your two Great Martial Sects in my hundreds of thousands of troops, the combat effectiveness of the army can be raised by a large grade at once!"

The soldier master Da Ran said: "Now whoever wants to bully our Changyu clan again, we will make them pay a very tragic price!"

The chief pondered for a moment and said, "We want to become stronger, and what we need most now is money. ”

The chieftain suddenly realized: "With more money, I can pay more salaries, improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and expand the strength of the army, but the number of our army is too small!"

"With more money, I can hire people to make more steel, build more armory, and craft more crossbows and weapons. ”

Shi Dewa said: "In order to get the new metal of our Yongan Island, the Xurui Dynasty once gave us a lot of money, but unfortunately it is all on the island and we can't take it out!"

"I have come up with a way to get money, but it requires Shi Dewa's nod to agree. ”

Shi Dewa said: "Please speak up, I can do it, I will never give up!"

"Brother Deva is serious," said the warlord, "Brother Deva is serious! I have just heard your words, and it occurred to me that if I sold a few knives made of the new metal you brought from the island, I would surely make a great deal of gold and silver. ”

Shi Dewa said: "That's a magic weapon, is the master willing to sell it to someone else?"

The soldier lord said: "Of course, you can't sell it to the Xurui Dynasty, they always want to annex us, they are our opponents, in addition, selling them is easy to expose your whereabouts, if you want to sell them, you can sell them to countries outside the Xurui Dynasty." ”

The chief said, "Lord, I know that there is a small country to the north of the Rodamba, a neutral country, which is located in the middle of several large empires, where two seasons of trade fairs are held every year. Empires will take specialty products there and sell them, and then buy back what they need. There were often wars between those great powers, and I heard that good weapons and armor were the most sought-after goods there, and they could be sold at a high price. ”

Daran, the lord of the soldiers, said, "Let's go there and sell knives." ”

The chief said, "I approve of this idea, but if you want to go to the small northern country of the Rodan Po Dynasty, you can only take the mouse path up the snowy plain, and climb through the snowy plain to climb several peaks more than 6,000 meters above sea level to the south of it. It was an extremely dangerous road, and over the years, I don't know how many people have died there, and the soldiers have to think twice!"

Da Ran, the soldier master, said: "I understand this situation, this road may cost more people's lives, but on this road, there are caravans and caravans walking every day. I decided that I wanted to walk the snowy mountains of the rat road once. ”

Shi Dewa said, "If the master goes, I will go." ”

The chief nodded, then looked at the chief, everything was up to the chieftain.

The chief looked at the expectant eyes of the three people, let out a long breath, and said: "Okay! For the sake of the development of my hundreds of thousands of people, I also agree with the soldier master and Shi Dewa to go to the rat road, however, the chieftain and the soldier master carefully agree on the personnel of the entourage, as well as the materials needed, and I will do my best to support you." ”

Half a month later, Daran and Shi Dewa led a caravan of more than 190 people to the rat road.

Of the more than 190 people, 150 were warriors of the Changyu tribe personally selected by the chieftain, and the remaining 40 or so were hired caravans of familiar local professional runners. More than 180 horses are carrying all compressed tea, the local is the production area of high-quality tea of the Xurui Dynasty, the price of tea is low, and the people on the snowy plain thousands of miles away take meat and barley as their staple food all year round, and need to drink a large amount of milk tea every day to relieve greasy and supplement dietary fiber, so the snow region needs a large amount of tea, and because the rat road connecting the snow plain and the tea production area is in the complex and steep terrain of the mountains and rivers, it has become extremely difficult to transport tea, so the tea can be sold at a very high price in the snow region。

In the middle of the tea transportation season every year, you can see many tea teams on the rat road, including the brigade of the official family, the squadron of the business, and the team of individual unions.

Daran's caravan reached the tenth day on the rat road without danger, and was attacked by one of the most powerful bandits on the rat road, and one hundred and fifty elite soldiers led by Da Ran surrounded the horse team and started a battle with more than 200 robbers who rushed down from the slopes on both sides.

Da Ran originally thought that the well-trained and well-equipped elite soldiers of the Changyu clan would beat the bandits to the ground, but the situation after the two sides fought surprised Da Ran.

The elite soldiers of the Changyu clan were stronger in combat, and they were smaller in number, but they gradually gained the upper hand in battle.

The more than 200 robbers who were at a disadvantage did not panic, gathered their minds, and defended tightly, and it was difficult for the elite soldiers of the Changyu clan to defeat the robbers for a while.

The soldier lord Da Ran does not want to fight a war of attrition, they need to preserve their strength.

Daran observed a man standing on the hillside behind the robbers, who seemed to be directing the robbers, and he was sure that the man was the leader, so he said to Shidwa, "Brother Harrier, you are here to suppress the formation, and I will go and capture the man on the hillside." ”

Stonewa said, "I'll go and get him!"

Before Shi Dewa could finish speaking, the man had already jumped out. Stonewa rose and fell a few times, and he came not far from the man. At this moment, two robbers who noticed Stonewa ran over and tried to intercept Stoneva, and Stoneva jumped up and when he passed by the two robbers, he stretched out his arms and nudged them on the shoulders, and the two immediately fell to the ground, and Stoneva took advantage of this push, and his body was not hindered and rushed faster to the man on the hillside.

The people on the hillside had already seen Stonedwa, and he was fascinated by Stonewa's form.

When Shi Dewa arrived in front of the man's eyes, he saw that the man was looking at him in a daze, and he did not want to take advantage of the danger of others, so he reminded the man.

After the two fought, Shi Dewa felt that this person's strength was extraordinary, close to the level of Xiao Wuzong, and the man saw that Shi Dewa's strength was far superior to him, so he blindly dodged, wanting to take the opportunity to escape, Shi Dewa was in a hurry, and used all his strength, and only used a dozen moves to knock down the man.

When the robbers who came up saw that the leader was captured, they all shouted, and the formation of the robbers was immediately chaotic. Seeing this, the leader, who had been captured by Shidva, shouted and retreated, and the robbers all gave up their resistance and stayed away from Daran's horse caravan. Da Ran shouted, and the elite soldiers who protected the horse team stopped chasing.

Of the one hundred and fifty elite soldiers, only a few were slightly wounded, and some of the robbers were seriously wounded, but not dead.

The bandit leader is called Lin Ju, it turned out to be a first-class military attache under King Qiulu, a few years ago when he accompanied the youngest son of King Qiulu on a hunting, he fell asleep on the horse due to excessive fatigue, at this moment, the youngest son of King Qiulu fell off the horse, broke his leg, broke his head, and bled his face, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go back to see King Qiulu, and left his official position and ran to the edge of the rat road where the officers and soldiers would not come.

At the beginning, Lin Ju was made the head of a martial horse by a horse gang because of his excellent martial arts. Soon after, his horse gang carried a lot of medicinal herbs, and also brought back a lot of good horses, from the snowy plain, encountered the most ferocious robbers on the rat road, the horse gang died, fled, and finally only Lin Ju was left.

The leader of the robbers saw that Lin Ju's martial arts were super strong and superior to himself, so he persuaded Lin Ju to join the gang and gave up the position of the leader to Lin Ju.

Lin Ju put forward the condition that the leader let go of the caravan's goods, and the leader actually agreed.

Lin Ju found the escaped caravan and asked them to transport the goods back, and he stayed in the caravan.

Lin Ju later became the leader of this gang of robbers, and he formulated the principle of not killing people and robbing the poor, and trained a gang of robbers into a disciplined and combat-ready army.

Lin Ju was completely succumbed to Shi Dewa's force, and he was willing to lead all his men to follow Shi Dewa and be loyal to Shi Dewa from now on.

Da Ran said happily at first sight: "Lin Ju! We are short of manpower, you take my token and go to the Nine Desolate Mountains to find the chief, and Shi Dewa and I will return to the Nine Desolate Mountains to find you when we come back from the Snowy Plains." ”

Lin Ju said: "There are more than 160 people in our family, I will go and bring them, and we have accumulated a lot of gold and silver treasures in the past few years, and we will take them with us and go to Jiuhuangling." ”

Shi Dewa said, "Are these brothers willing to go to the Nine Desolation Mountains with you? ”

Lin Ju said: "The children of the rich and unkind officials and businessmen are not robbers, these so-called robbers are the children of poor families who are forced to live, and if they have a stable place to live, they are not willing to be robbers." ”

Lin Ju's prestige among this gang of robbers was extremely high, and his decision was warmly responded to by all the bandits.

Da Ran and Shi Dewa waited for Lin Ju to gather all the men and horses, and they were ready to go on the road, when Lin Ju stepped forward and said to Da Ran and Shi Dewa: "Two adults, can you let me join your horse gang and go to the snowy plain with you? I am very familiar with the terrain of this rat road, and the robbers on the road also know me." ”

Shi Dewa said: "Okay! Senior Lin, just now you said that you want to learn martial arts from me as a teacher, you are a senior, I don't dare to be your master, we can learn martial arts from each other along the way." ”

Seeing that Shi Dewa had agreed to Lin Ju's request, Da Ran said cheerfully: "Brother Lin, this is fine, we don't have many people, you can select fifty more shrewd and capable people, and bring more food and water." ”

Lin Ju was very happy, he selected fifty people, mixed dozens of horses, some food and water, and secretly brought some gold, silver and jewelry, and finally handed over the token that Da Ran gave him to defect to the Nine Desolation Mountains.

Daran's horse team walked up step by step on the rat path again, and there were dozens more horses behind the original team.

Shi Dewa walked behind the horse team, Lin Ju guarded the team in the middle, and Da Ran was at the front of the horse team, closely following the pot horse head and head horse.

The horse team is walking on the most dangerous part of the rat road at this time, more than 20 meters on the left is a turbulent river, on the right is a cliff with no top to see, the road the horse team is in the middle of the cliff carved out of a semi-arc path, the path can only accommodate a horse to pass, the outer hooves of the horse step out of the twenty centimeters, will slide down the trail and bury themselves in the river.

Just as most of the horse team had walked through this path, and everyone's nervous and frightened minds were slowly relaxed, there was a horse behind the horse team that had a swollen bubble grinding on the horse's hooves and touched a small stone, and the horse's legs fell to his knees as soon as he became weak, and the horse's legs were not attached.
