Chapter 1261 Companions

"This brother, what are you doing?"

A middle-aged man with a fierce face suddenly walked over to Feng Rushan and them, Mo Yun didn't wait for the other party to speak, and asked directly first, but he didn't mean to stand up to greet the guests.

Where they are parked now is a simple one on the side of the road, called the service area, there are a few small shops in the service area, in fact, they are a few relatively strong tents, and they also provide basic safety guards at night, and people passing by can rest and stay overnight in the service area, and they can also replenish basic supplies such as water, food, and long arrows, of course, the price, you know.

Compared with sleeping in the barren mountains and mountains, the simple hot tea and flatbread four big-character signboards in the service area are very tempting for travelers who are tired of eating barbecue.

It was getting late, and in the service area, a dozen or so temporary tents were set up, and next to one of the tents, there were five people who lit a fire, drinking and chatting, and they had more than a dozen camels gathered together, and a bunch of goods were built in large bags and small bags, which seemed to be a small caravan.

"Hehe, in the Lower Gisai tribe,......。 ”

The middle-aged man smiled and arched his hands, walked to the fire and poured two bowls of wine, held one of the bowls to Mo Yun with both hands, picked up the remaining bowl and drank it all, and said it unhurriedly.

It turned out that Xiao Guang was the shopkeeper of the small caravan, and this time the caravan transported a batch of common herbs to the east, and he got the news that about half a month ago, the famous horse bandit Banbianyun was surrounded and suppressed by several nearby tribes, a big battle, the horse bandit was defeated, and Banbianyun did not even hold the old nest, and fled in a hurry.

Fighting horse bandits was originally a good thing, and it had little to do with their caravan, but it is said that a small group of horse bandits who broke up fled to the Black Wind Mountain in front, the key is that this horse bandit not only accidentally hidden, but plundered in all directions, and Black Wind Mountain is the only way for their caravan, Xiao Guang is worried that the caravan is small, and wants to go with Feng Rushan and them.

“...... , Hehe, in fact, before Banbianyun, it was not too harsh on us small caravans, and there was a rule for tolls, and it was not much to collect, but unfortunately, now if you encounter these stragglers, and you don't abide by the rules of Banbianyun, it's hard to say, people in troubled times are as cheap as dogs. ”

Xiao Guang is eloquent, and he tells the story of the great battle between the tribal alliance and Banbianyun, but in the end, to put it simply, Xiao Guang wants to hire Feng Rushan and them as temporary bodyguards for the caravan.

Relying on parents at home, relying on friends when going out, and doing business on the grassland, accidents large and small will occur anytime and anywhere, similar situations. Not unusual.

"Half of the clouds have been wiped out!Xiao Shopkeeper, how many bandits are there in Black Wind Mountain?"

Banbianyun is the largest horse bandit within a radius of thousands of miles, famous far and wide, Mo Yun has naturally heard of it, however, they have left Shiniuzhai for 6 days, walked nearly 500 miles, and the news that Banbianyun was surrounded and suppressed, he heard it for the first time.

It seems that cracking down on horse bandits is not a good thing for everyone, and no matter how bad the rules are, they are better than no rules. Knowing himself and knowing his opponent, Mo Yun can still calm down, not bad. ”

Feng Rushan nodded secretly in his heart.

They are a group, Black Wind Mountain is also a must-pass place, Xiao Guang is a veteran of this road at a glance, walking together is good for both parties, Mo Yun can also inquire about the situation first, as a young man in his early 20s, he is also calm.

As for the horse bandits blocking the road and robbing them, of course, they are a scourge, but as far as Feng Rushan knows, the horse bandits who are slightly larger in scale and have a fixed territory generally do not kill people indiscriminately for passing caravans and travelers, but collect tolls, and the amount of tolls is also generally stable.

The tribe generally does not levy tolls, but the shops in the service area have the background of the tribal nobles, the price of the service area is much more expensive than the ordinary market price, and basically not discounted, there is no room for bargaining, which tastes, hehe, the service area is the guest initiative, voluntary door-to-door service, willing to fight, and horse bandits by force to levy, maybe, or a little different, at least, is a small step of civilization.

Although in essence, Feng Rushan really can't understand, across the horse knife, the mouth shouted that this mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me horse bandits, and smiling, gentle and smiling welcome to the next visit, I wish you a happy journey The shopkeeper of the service area, what is the essential difference.

"There are about two or three hundred people in total, and I just heard about it, so I'm not sure. However, the horse bandits will not always go out all at once, as long as it is not too much, it doesn't matter if you buy them a glass of wine to drink,......。 ”

Feng Rushan and his party, not only are there a lot of people, but everyone's mount is a leopard and a horse, the key is that except for the two servants and Murong Xuefei, they are all samurai, all with swords and arrows, they look majestic and high-spirited, and there are two second-order warriors, if the luck is not too bad, it is enough to deter twenty or thirty horse bandits.

Horse bandits want money, and under normal circumstances, they don't want to die.

Xiao Guang has been running on this road for most of his life, and he has dealt with Banbianyun many times, what he transported this time is an ordinary blue Yingju, which is not of high value, he does not expect that in case of encountering horse bandits, Feng Rushan and they can win the battle, but to make money and avoid disasters, he just wants to pay a little less, tolls.

It's a pity that bargaining also requires strength, and the caravan, according to the usual habits, only brought four guards, and the strength was too poor.

Who knows if this horse bandit who has just suffered a defeat has a good temper.

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow morning. Zhewen, you go and have a drink with Shopkeeper Xiao and have a good chat. ”

Mo Yun understood Xiao Guang's bottom line and requirements, and agreed without hesitation.

Cameo bodyguards are also paid, as for the specific amount of compensation, there are corresponding rules on the road, however, Mo Yun will not worry about these details.

"Haha, Zhewen of the Shiniu tribe, shopkeeper Xiao, fortunately,......。 ”

Zhewen glanced at Feng Rushan intentionally or unintentionally, and enthusiastically pulled Xiao Guang to the caravan's bonfire and drank.

This is his role in the squad, and Dzewin is very experienced.

"There is a decision. However, he is still a little younger. Maybe Mo Yun thinks that I killed the wolf with the help of the power of the hidden weapon, and the real strength is just like that, so it is not worth paying attention to. However, hehe, the horse bandits are newly defeated, and the shopkeeper of Xiao Da has found us, so don't set yourself on fire. ”

Feng Rushan shook his head slightly towards Murong Xuefei.

Their party is naturally led by Mo Yun, but it is reasonable to say that Mo Yun should seek the opinion of the elder Feng Rushan for this kind of matter, even if it is symbolic, and both sides understand that it is symbolic, and there should be no less than the scene.

Even if the nominal elder of Feng Rushan is nothing, he is still a second-order warrior, and now they are drinking in the vast Qinke grassland, not in the tent of Shiniuzhai.

Unless necessary, keeping the procedure as correct as possible is an indispensable, basic philosophy for a successful leader, or rather, su zhì.

Of course, maybe Mo Yun never regarded Feng Rushan as an elder in his heart.

I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates, Feng Rushan, I'm really worried about Mo Yun and some second generations, such as Mulan Qinyan, the same, I don't know anything, I don't have fart skills, and I think Lao Tzu is the best in the world.

Although in the past few days, Mo Yun's appearance was quite decent, but he was obviously not very emotional, and he rarely spoke, and Feng Rushan had no way to judge his temper and character.

Nanmen Yuan's feelings towards Mo Yun may not be false, but Feng Rushan still prefers to believe in his eyes.

A group of them, gifts to the relevant personnel of the black wolf tent, still brought a little, the value is not low, but the volume is not large, there are no eye-catching valuable goods on the appearance, some living utensils, of course the horse bandits can't look down on, however, the leopard Lin horse, the horse bandits, but it is fun, Feng Rushan's intuition, horse bandits, always have to touch it, there are more Xiaoguang caravans, this old sparrow, is not a bad thing.

......

"Horse bandits, hehe, what do you mean by Elder Mu?"

In the evening of the next day, the smoke and dust were billowing in front of him, the sound of hooves was faint, and a team of men and horses galloped over, seemingly coming towards a somewhat strange combination of their team, Mo Yun waved his hand to prepare everyone for battle, and rode forward with Xiao Guang, and suddenly remembered that there was such an elder as Feng Rushan in the team.

"Hehe, the horse bandits are newly defeated, their foothold is not stable, they are impetuous, the bandits are ferocious and changeable, Yun Gongzi should be more careful. ”

How will the defeated army flee the general, Feng Rushan is not familiar with Banbianyun, and he is not sure, so naturally he does not have any high opinions, so he can only rely on Mo Yun to improvise, however, he has no interest in coming forward to negotiate with the horse bandits.

Besides, at length, his Turkic-Hungarian language is not bright.

"Well, Elder Mu Takami. ”

Mo Yun nodded expressionlessly, and made a strange gesture to Zhewen, urging the horse to catch up with Xiao Guang in front of him, and stood side by side not far from the caravan.

"Brother Mu, the number of horse bandits is not much, it is estimated that there are less than thirty, what Childe means, it's best if it's okay, it's really not good, it's better to strike first, kill if you can, wait for his actions, in case of action, Brother Mu is responsible for solving the horse bandits led by him as soon as possible, and hand over the rest to the brothers. ”

Zhewen patted his horse close to Feng Rushan and said in a low voice.

"Well, I'll try. ”

"Hehe, it's really coming! I'm so lucky, too, I don't want to talk about it. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Mo Yun's courage is commendable!"

Feng Rushan could only smile bitterly.

"Miss Mu just looks at our camels. ”

Zhewen was deeply impressed by Murong Xuefei's thunderous fingers, but he still didn't want Murong Xuefei and the horse bandits to fight head-on.

"Xiaobei, wait for the cleverness, once the situation is not good, don't wait for me and Uncle Shi, we are fast, and the horse bandits may not be able to catch up. ”

Zhewen left, and Feng Rushan whispered to He Shuang.

He didn't want to provoke the fierce horse bandits, and in the open grassland, facing dozens of horse bandits, Feng Rushan was not worried about the safety of himself and Murong Xuefei, but he might not be able to protect He Shuangquan.
