Volume 1: The Wind Comes Chapter 33: Things are actually quite simple
The night is difficult for many people, and I don't know if it's because the night and the eyes are the same color, or because the night takes the light away from people's eyes.
Therefore, the mountain bandits who operate at night will also take the light from the eyes of the caravan, and the goods and women will of course shine with incomparably dazzling light.
Hundreds of mountain bandits surrounded a strong team of thirty or forty people, and no matter how well-trained the hired guards were, cold sweat couldn't help but flow down their backs.
"Yinghualou delivery passing by Guibaodi, I don't know who of you is'Mountain Lord'?"
Looking at the crowd of black pressure, Jiao Nian could only bite the bullet and go up to negotiate.
As the name suggests, the "mountain master" is the master of the mountain, and there are countless people in the ancient land, and not many people are willing to pay attention to it.
Therefore, in this case, the businessman will make some extra preparations, and then come forward to negotiate in case of accidents, the purpose is to try to avoid losses with "road money", which has also become a default "surface unspoken rule" between the two.
And self-reporting, but also because Yinghualou has always been generous, the general mountain bandits will not be embarrassed when they hear this name, you must know that Yinghualou can open all over the ancient continent, and the forces behind it are not beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Yo! There are still people who are on the way!"
A disdainful voice came from the crowd, and the mountain bandits made their debut, and a masked man riding a huge wolf beast came in front of him.
"Since there is a good way, let's look at the price!"
Look at the price, this is also a word on the road, for these mountain bandits who make a living by lawlessness, sometimes, as long as the other party is willing to pay a good price, then they will not be too harsh.
After all, if you want to start, no one knows if there will be an accident or something, they are all trying to live, and only by living can they have the capital to enjoy themselves.
When Jiao Nian heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully took out a small bag from his arms, and handed it over.
A sharp-eyed younger brother hurriedly dismounted, took the money bag, and then walked over to the wolf beast and handed it to the masked man in the lead.
The masked man took the money bag, opened it and looked at the dozens of glittering gold coins in the bag, looked up and asked, "Didn't I wash my face today?"
"Uh..."Jiao Nian was stunned when asked, he didn't know what he meant, thinking that you were covering your face, it was the middle of the night, who knows if you wash your face or not?
He replied at a loss: "What does the mountain lord mean by this?"
The masked man jokingly said, "Oh, I don't understand, I mean, I thought our brothers didn't wash their faces, so we came to ask for food in a group at night!"
"This ......" Jiao Nian understood what the other party meant, but dozens of gold coins can only be given by the wealthy Yinghualou, in exchange for ordinary mountain bandits, this is a huge amount of money. And now these people in front of them are not greedy enough, can it be that they know something?
Thinking about the safety of the girl accompanying him in the carriage, Jiao Nian was anxious, and before leaving, the owner had seriously explained that the status of the woman in the carriage was extraordinary, and he couldn't afford it.
Pretending to be calm, Jiao Nian smiled and said: "The mountain lord is joking, as we all know, our Yinghualou has always been convenient for each other with the heroes on the road. Our small caravan is only responsible for sending some of the dregs in the building, and it is really generous to be able to take these out, and I hope that the main body of the mountain will be considerate!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Jiao Nian's words, the masked man in the lead laughed.
"Since we are all pretending to be confused, then you might as well ask me, the little wolf under the crotch, is the money you gave to buy the road enough for it to plug between its teeth?"
As the masked man spoke, the wolf beast under him also roared in a majestic manner, and the horses around him retreated a lot in fright.
After all, although this kind of wolf beast is low-level, it is not something that ordinary livestock can match, just like a brave mortal, it is as brittle as tissue paper in front of a great cultivator.
So Jiao Nian was also taken aback, retreated again and again, and then bumped into Yue Dongxue, who just walked back.
Stretching out her hand to stabilize Jiao Nian, Yue Dongxue didn't say anything, and continued to walk towards the carriage she was riding in.
He had already guessed that something would happen, and he had guessed that it would be difficult to do good, and these people had other plans.
If it was just unintentional, then he might have solved it before these people arrived, but if he had the heart, he felt bored.
The most luxurious carriage transmitted two invisible eyes, standing quietly not far away, in addition to the mediocre-looking little black girl, there seemed to be their young lady, who was also the "big man" that Jiao Nian was worried about.
Not at all taboo about this tense scene, Yue Dongxue continued to walk towards her carriage.
But if the ordinary gesture appears out of place, it may become arrogant and ignorant.
The leader of the wolf beast took advantage of the shadow of the firelight to make a secret gesture, and one of his subordinates rode forward and shouted, "Stop!"
"Old man, you are not a little bold, do you mean to look down on us brothers by swaggering in front of us?"
It's no wonder that others call him an old man, after all, after changing his face after Yu Jing, and wearing a mask to make people unable to see his appearance, he has white hair on crutches, and it is difficult for others to treat him as a bad old man, of course, whether he has a beard or not does it mean nothing.
Yue Dongxue also knew that the other party was drinking himself, he was too troublesome to pay attention to, so he continued to walk towards his carriage.
"Old man, this good man seems to be calling you!"
The voice is brittle, immature, but nice. Much like the voice of a small child, but there are no small children here.
The sweetness of the cake still seems to be echoing in her mouth, just like the voice of the girl in her ears.
Yue Dongxue turned around, and in front of the carriage in the middle, the swarthy little girl had gotten out of the carriage at some point, blinking her big smart eyes, looking at Yue Dongxue, and it seemed that she didn't seem to notice the vicious mountain bandits around her.
Yue Dongxue also looked at it, and she just looked at it.
If you just look at those eyes and listen to the beautiful and childish voice, most people think she is a beauty!
The mountain bandits naturally thought the same way, and looked at her curiously, and when they could see her face clearly, they wished that they had never heard such a heavenly sound.
The eyes are delicate, the nose is delicate, the double ponytail and the small mouth are also delicate, but because they are so delicate, they become very tight and more chic when put together.
Her presence seemed to brighten the whole world, and there was nowhere to hide the few dark purple acne marks and freckles on her face.
If it were someone else, such as Jiao Nian or the like, he would definitely hate the worry and anger that iron could not become steel, why was this little ancestor so short-sighted?
But Yue Dongxue didn't, he just looked at the little girl, and then turned back to look at the nameless mountain bandit who stopped him.
With such a mask and rat eyes, the whole face must be even more obscene and annoying, Yue Dongxue thought so.
Thinking of safety first, Jiao Nian, who came back to his senses, quickly took out a cloth bag larger than before from his arms and held it in front of the wolf beast.
"Don't be angry, the mountain lord is not fully prepared, so that the mountain lord is displeased, this is an apology, I hope the mountain lord will raise his noble hand and forgive us for my ignorance and offense!"
Jiao Nian, who spoke, lowered his head as well, appearing more sincere.
But this time no one took it, although those mountain bandit brothers looked at the bag in Jiao Nian's hand, and their eyes were shining with the brilliance of wealth.
But the principal did not speak, and no one dared to answer.
At this moment, Yue Dongxue looked at the leading bandit leader and said a sentence thoughtlessly.
"Three moves don't die, everyone lives together!"
