"Didn't you say that Divine Seed was awarded? Why did you come to rob?..."
Zhu Yu weighed the rusty iron knife in his hand, wondering if it would break if he swung it a few more times.
Mi Ya'er stood beside him, also carrying a rusty iron sword. He might have stayed up late, his brows were sleepy, and he couldn't help but yawn.
Earth Road.
White Tofu stood the flag upright, clapped his hands, nodded with satisfaction, turned around, walked up to the two of them, and said solemnly:
"If you want to join Cloud Mountain Stronghold, you need to submit a certificate of registration."
"A caravan will be passing by soon. Whether you two are cheating, robbing or killing, as long as you do this, you will be my Cloud Mountain Stronghold from now on."
"After that, brother, I will grant you two Divine Seed."
Zhu Yu looked at the broken knife in his hand again, "..."
No... you want me to use this to loot a caravan?
Are you sure you're not committing suicide?
Lu Wanrong looked at White Tofu with a somewhat dangerous look.
"Haha..."
Seemingly seeing what the two were thinking, White Tofu's solemn expression suddenly disappeared. He laughed twice, but when no one responded, he coughed twice, pointed at the indigo flag standing in the center of the avenue, and said proudly:
"As long as this flag is here, no caravan will dare to take action against you, so don't worry about looting!..."
"It turned out to be protection money..."
Zhu Yu immediately understood after hearing this
Also, Cloud Mountain Stronghold are all bandits, they don't engage in production, and if they don't run a few trade routes, how can they support hundreds of people in the village.
"Yes, Brother Bai."
Zhu Yu and Lu Wanrong nodded seriously, looked at each other, held swords in hand, walked to the flag, and looked at the road ahead.
Although the two of them tried to remain solemn as much as possible, their ragged clothes and dark and thin appearance did not look like bandits, but rather like they were out begging for food.
"Let's see the fun..."
White Tofu had a smile in his eyes, stomped his steps slightly, and a light green whirlwind emerged out of thin air, carrying his body and rushing towards the mountain beside him.
At this time.
Several miles away from the flag.
Amid the billowing smoke and dust, dozens of oxen-drawn trucks lined up for a hundred meters, with a dazzling array of goods and a flag embroidered with the word "" flying high.
Beside the motorcade.
A dozen fat and muscular men riding horses, wearing leather armor, and hanging swords and axes from their waists patrolled the surroundings of the convoy.
The scorching summer heat scorched the earth, and many drivers driving the carriages were sweating constantly, soaking their clothes. However, these horse-riding warriors, wearing thick leather armor, did not feel it at all, and there was no sweat at all.
Just then.
A fast horse appeared on the road ahead, and soon it came to a steady middle-aged man with a good-natured face and a knife hanging from his waist. He pulled the reins, stopped the horse, clasped his fists and said, "
"Master Liu, there are robbers on the road three miles ahead."
Liu Sheng was not surprised at all and waved his hand to let him go. He immediately urged the horses to come to a carriage that was more luxurious than other vehicles in the center of the caravan. Listening to the bursts of sweet laughter coming from inside, he coughed twice.
The voice paused, the door curtain was opened, and with a burst of cool air, a young man with a fleshy face and a belly as big as an eight-month pregnancy walked out.
"Shopkeeper Qian."
Liu Sheng was so busy that he held his hands in greeting.
The young man said "Hmm", looked around, frowned, and said casually, "What happened?"
Liu Sheng told the young man the news that the escort agents had discovered. Seeing his disinterested expression, he hurriedly explained in a low voice:
"Shopkeeper Qian, the leader of this business is Cloud Mountain Range's "Cloud Mountain Stronghold", and his First Leader "Righteous Affinity" Lu Changming is a well-known hero in the world!..."
"A good man? Huh..."
Qian Gui curled his lips in disdain, but didn't say much. He had heard of Lu Changming's name. He waved his hand and said, "Liu Biaotou has been on the road and knows what to do. Please help me deal with these bandits."
"It should."
Liu Sheng just eats this bowl of rice, there is no reason why he should not do it.
Qian Gui nodded with satisfaction. When he turned back to the car, his eyes suddenly rolled and he added, "It's okay if they ask for less, but if they ask for too much, I can't explain it to my cousin..."
"Hmm... one... two hundred taels, at most two hundred taels...!"
Liu Sheng Hearing this, he subconsciously glanced at the caravan of dozens of vehicles and frowned.
He had dealt with the bandits of "Cloud Mountain Stronghold".
I know that they still abide by the rules. As long as they pay the toll, they don't care whether the caravan is transporting gold or silver.
This fee is also clearly marked.
A heavy chariot costs five taels of silver, and a light chariot costs ten taels of silver.
The "Bai" family was transporting tea and silk on this trip, which was a light vehicle, and for these dozens of vehicles, two hundred taels was obviously not enough.
Liu Sheng's thoughts flashed through his mind, he shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, this amount is too small, I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qian Gui impatiently waved his hand and interrupted, "That's three hundred taels, not even one more copper."
The fat body squeezed into the car, and its voice came out.
"You only know "Righteous Affinity"Lu Changming?, don't you know that my cousin "Jade-Faced Gentleman"Bai Yutang?"
"Hmph... Others are afraid of it Cloud Mountain Stronghold, but I Bai Family am not afraid..."
Bang...
Looking at the closed carriage door.
"Hiss..."
Liu Sheng felt helpless and took a breath to calm down his annoyance. Again, who told him to eat this bowl of rice?
The cottage needs to be taken care of, and the owner must also take care of it.
"Let's first see which leader is here..."
Liu Sheng thought for a moment and drove towards the front of the convoy.
It won't be long.
The convoy slowly came to the road between two mountains.
Liu Sheng Looking from a distance, as expected, an indigo flag was planted in the middle of the road, fluttering in the wind, and the three characters "Cloud Mountain Stronghold" came into view.
But when they saw the two men holding knives and swords under the flag, they were stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence.
"Are they really "Cloud Mountain Stronghold"? When did "Cloud Mountain Stronghold" also recruit beggars? I didn't hear who they fought with and suffered heavy losses..."
Liu Sheng had many thoughts in his mind, and looked around again to confirm that no one else was ambushing him. Thinking of what Qian Gui said, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, and he was secretly surprised.
"Let two bandits who have just started collect tolls, "Cloud Mountain Stronghold" is indeed "Cloud Mountain Stronghold", it is really extraordinary..."
"Drive..."
Liu Sheng drove his horse forward. When he came closer, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yu. Although they looked like begging flowers, their eyes were particularly bright and energetic. He nodded secretly, made a Jianghu gesture with his hands, and shouted:
"Dangyang County"Tiger Might Escort Agency"The fourth header is Liu Sheng, I have met two heroes."
"Coming..."
Zhu Yu, Lu Wanrong were eager to accept Divine Seed, and did not want to cause more trouble, so they responded:
"Cloud Mountain Stronghold Mi Gousheng, Mi Ya'er have seen Wang Biaotou."
"As expected, he is new to the village..."
Hearing Gousheng'er's name, Liu Sheng further confirmed his thoughts, but he did not dare to underestimate him. He returned the salute seriously and drove his horse back to the caravan.
Not long after, he returned carrying a cloth bag.
Liu Sheng was about to throw the bag containing two hundred taels of silver to Zhu Yu when he heard a loud shout from behind.
"Wait a minute..."
