Chapter 204 What Kind of Grudge? (1 Chapter in One)

Chapter 205 What kind of enmity? (one chapter)

Since practicing martial arts, Chen Shaojun has seldom slept and rested seriously.

Most of the time, they are spent in practice.

First of all, it is unshakeable and forgets to run.

Even though he has limited spiritual power to improve him every time he practices sitting and forgetting the scriptures, the accumulation of small amounts adds up.

A small step of progress every day, after ten days and a half months, is a big step.

At least at this time, Chen Shaojun already felt that his mental power had improved a lot compared to when the All Spirits Divine Solution was perfected before.

It is manifested in the radiation range of mental power, which has been increased from the original twenty feet to twenty-one feet.

"Twenty-one feet is seventy meters.

For any worship, it is an almost impossible value.

Even if it is a treasure master who specializes in serving Taoist monks, there are probably not many strong people who can raise their spiritual power to more than twenty feet, right? "

Chen Shaojun was slightly satisfied.

Because of this, he also attaches great importance to this forgotten scripture.

Even if he is busy, he will take time to practice and improve his spiritual strength bit by bit.

In addition to sitting and forgetting the scriptures, it is naturally the Taishang induction chapter.

Even though he can now use the golden light of merit to improve his mana and power. But after each practice, he will feel refreshed and full of energy.

This state is also hard to find, and now that he is used to practicing, he will not give up.

Early the next morning, before dawn, some people in the caravan began to call for assembly.

Then after a simple breakfast, we started to set off again.

After one night's correction, even though many people did not sleep very comfortably, after all, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes in the mountain village.

But the speed of the caravan is still faster than yesterday.

It is also worth mentioning that Dongfang Bai really kept his promise, and actually leaned to the side of the carriage where Chen Shaojun was, and accompanied him to protect him.

Chen Shaojun tried a few words of persuasion, seeing that the other party was unmoved, he had no choice but to let him go.

However, Chen Shaojun didn't stay on the carriage for long.

In his mind, he wanted to improve the stacking talisman to perfection as soon as possible. In addition, although he discovered many secrets about the caravan through appraising yesterday, he also knew that there would be some bandit forces.

To the detriment of the entire caravan.

But he is still not sure how many of these gangs of bandits will be mobilized, how many masters there will be, and the specific location and time...

So, Chen Shaojun started to move around in the whole team again.

While walking around and chatting with people, at the same time, he took out treasures from a person's body for identification, and then put the identified treasure back on the other person's body without anyone noticing.

During this period, Dongfang Bai has been following Chen Shaojun to protect him.

But even though the two were very close, the other party couldn't see Chen Shaojun's actions. It can be seen from this that his speed is fast and his methods are secretive.

Time passed unknowingly, and Chen Shaojun also took out a treasure from a person for identification.

After summarizing the news, there were indeed some new discoveries.

"The gang of bandits who planned to attack the entire caravan this time did not act alone, but several forces connected together.

In addition, in addition to the Red Clothes Sect, Jinshan Bandits, and Axe Village that I knew before, there is also a gang called the Black Tiger Gang, which is involved. "

"Among them, Jinshan Bandit and Axe Village are actually small and medium-sized bandits. The entire Jinshan Bandit is no more than 80 people, and there are only 30 or 40 who are really capable of fighting. Among them, the leader is Zhao Jinshan, the No. Five levels of strength, and two other warriors at the early stage of Qi Sea Realm, namely Wu Yong with a diamond body and Li Hui with an iron foot.

The strength of Ax Village is about the same as that of the Jinshan bandits. The owner of Ax Village is named Xu Jia. The owner of the Ax Village is said to practice horizontal kung fu. He is invulnerable to swords and guns and has infinite strength. His strength is probably around the sixth level of Qi Sea Realm, and his subordinates are also The two warriors of Qi Sea Realm are Xu Lang, the master of the second village, Zhou Wei, the master of the third village, and the rest are thirty or forty masters of the body training realm with combat effectiveness.

As for the Black Tiger Gang, although it was only considered a small gang in Shengjing City, the opponent's ability to gain a firm foothold in Shengjing City was enough to prove the opponent's strength.

In the entire gang, apart from the leader Zhao Hu who has reached the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm, there is also a deputy leader who is a top-rank martial artist at the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm, and two elders who have reached the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm. And three rudder masters at the early stage of Qi Sea Realm, plus hundreds of helpers...

After careful calculation, it is not much weaker than the strength of Mo's firm's guards this time.

Although, these forces may not necessarily move in full force.

but……"

Chen Shaojun frowned slightly.

He hadn't forgotten that among the forces making the move this time, there was also the powerful Red Clothes Sect.

This is a rebel force that dares to assassinate the prince, and the hidden power is so terrifying that it is absolutely astonishing.

If you send out a strong innate realm...

"Probably not?

Based on the calculation that one carriage can pull 30,000 taels of silver, the total of seven carriages is only 200,000 taels of silver, so it shouldn't be possible to provoke the hands of the strong innate realm? "

Chen Shaojun muttered, but he was relieved a lot.

What is the status of a person who is strong in the innate realm and has high strength? Generally speaking, one should not take risks for a mere two hundred thousand taels of silver.

"However, just in case, I still need to be prepared for someone with a strong innate realm to make a move."

Chen Shaojun thought about it in his heart, and felt quite at ease.

His strength is still not weak.

The ninth peak of the Sea of ​​Qi Realm is only one step away from the Innate Realm, plus nine years of magic power and many spells... Even if he is defeated, it is not difficult to escape.

"In addition, through this treasure appraisal, I finally got a more useful piece of information.

That is to determine their approximate action location.

Gutter Ridge.

At the foot of a rolling mountain. "

Chen Shaojun's eyes flickered, combined with his memory, he found that the so-called Yingou Ridge was thirty miles away from them at this time.

At the speed of their group, they will arrive at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, officially entering the range of Yingou Ridge.

"Hurry up, everyone.

After crossing the two avenues in front, it is Yingou Ridge.

We strive to get out of Gutter Ridge completely before dark. "

In the distance, in Mo's firm, a guard shouted loudly.

"Gutter Ridge? This Gutter Ridge is not a good place.

Normally, it would not be difficult to cross it before dark, but if it was accidentally noticed by the people of Guitou Village in Yingouling, it would take off a layer of skin if it was not dead. "

Just at this time, the two business runners in front of Chen Shaojun discussed, with awe in their tone.

"Ghost village?

On the Yingou Ridge in front, are there any cottage bandits who can't be entrenched? "

Chen Shaojun was startled, stepped forward two steps quickly, and began to question him.

But calmly took something from each of the two, and took advantage of the situation to identify one.

It soon became clear that both of them were traveling traders in Shengjing City.

Originally, they usually only wandered among the various mountain villages near Shengjing City.

Unexpectedly, some time ago, a group of people who called themselves the business alliance came to them directly, saying that there was a selling business in the surrounding area, which was occupied by the other party's contract, and asked them to find another way to survive.

Later, the two found out that the so-called business alliance was actually a small gang that had just been established. They took a fancy to their business of traveling around the villages and directly took over all of them.

They are just ordinary merchants, and they are all doing small business. How can they fight against those gang forces?

As a last resort, I had to find another way of life.

But what else can they do besides selling goods through the streets?

Fortunately, they have been doing business for many years, and they also know the reason why persimmons are more expensive in the south than in the south, so they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet. Together, they sold a batch of yellow silk cloth unique to Shengjing City, and then headed to the neighboring cities.

Going with the caravan of Mo's Firm is naturally for safety.

"Of course there is.

On the Yingou Ridge, the Ghost Head Village is entrenched, but it is the strongest group of bandits in the surrounding hundred miles.

It is said that the entire cottage adds up to two to three thousand people, which can be described as very rampant.

It's not that the government has done nothing. I heard that they have sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but because of the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack location of the cottage, they can only return without success. "

One of the middle-aged merchants heard the words and quickly explained.

"Even the government encircled and suppressed the opponent's cottage?"

Chen Shaojun said in disbelief.

Through the screen of appreciating treasures, he has long known that regardless of the various martial arts forces, the Taoist Immortal Sect is not weak, and its power is also very extraordinary, but the real most powerful is always the Great Zhou Dynasty, the government.

A small cottage, if the higher-ups don't pay attention to it, it's fine. Once they pay attention, how can it survive to this day?

After the government's siege came back without success, according to his understanding, stronger forces should be organized soon, and stronger masters should be dispatched to completely wipe them out.

"Exactly.

The government did take action to encircle and suppress the Guitou village.

Returning without success is also true.

However, I heard that it was because the official who issued the encirclement and suppression order at that time had just arrived at Yingouling, and there was a transfer order from above, directly demoting him from Beijing.

This official is lost, how can he have the heart to attack Guitou Village again? Had to withdraw troops hastily. "

At this time, another merchant also followed suit and said.

"So, does this Guitou Village have another background?"

Dongfang Bai at the side couldn't help but asked, too.

"I heard that this Guitou Village is indeed inextricably linked to some dignitaries in Shengjing City.

Every year, there is a lot of money that goes out to honor those officials and lords.

This is also the reason why this Guitou village has been here for decades without being encircled and wiped out. "

"And where did the money for respecting the officials come from?

It is from among the caravans and pedestrians who pass by this Yingouling every year.

I heard that even the eight major commercial firms in Shengjing City, if they want to get through safely, they have to call for a "toll" regularly every year to ensure a smooth and safe journey, otherwise they will be made things difficult, and even their goods will be robbed... ..."

The two of them spoke with inexplicable emotion and awe.

This Guitou village is indeed famous for its fierceness.

Especially for businessmen like them, it is absolutely unavoidable existence.

This is also the reason why, even though they felt sorry for the 'boarding fee' handed over to Mo's Commercial Bank, they had to obediently hand over the money.

In fact, Yingouling, Guitou Village, is a dangerous place.

They dare not pass without permission at all.

"I see."

Chen Shaojun nodded, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Perhaps in the past, this Mo's firm was able to survive safely because of the 'toll fee' paid.

It is also possible to get out of Yingou Ridge completely before dark.

But this time, not necessarily.

In addition, what made Chen Shaojun feel bad was that.

He suddenly discovered that this time, there might be one more bandit force than he had imagined.

That is Guitou Village, which occupies a favorable location and is the strongest bandit force nearby.

Because, if that wasn't the case, why would Jinshan Bandits, Ax Village, Black Tiger Gang and other forces decide to place their actions in Yingou Ridge?

You know, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

No matter what the reason was, Guitou Village would never tolerate other bandits attacking passing caravans on their own territory.

Not to mention, they still collect tolls from Mo's business every year.

"So, it is only possible that Guitou Village actually participated in this siege.

And the reason for all this is estimated to be the teacher in red.

Because only the formidable and powerful Red Clothes Sect could integrate so many and such a strong force to attack the caravan together. "

Thoughts flickered in Chen Shaojun's mind, and he also felt a burst of confusion and doubt.

why?

What hatred, what resentment?

Just for a mere 200,000 taels of silver, you dispatched so many strong men to attack this caravan?

Or, there is another reason for it.

It's just that I don't know?

Chen Shaojun was confused.

"I heard that there are innate talents in Guitou Village."

Suddenly, Dongfang Bai spoke.

"Um?"

Chen Shaojun frowned even deeper.

This is even more unreasonable.

There are all innate realm powerhouses here, so why do they have to unite so many forces to attack their caravan together?

Are they so important?

More than two hundred thousand taels of silver at most, so many people are willing to follow suit?

To attract the heart of the strong innate realm?

"Or is there something else I don't know about?"

Inexplicably, Chen Shaojun looked forward, at the person in charge of Mo's Trading Company in that obviously much more high-end carriage.

He suddenly realized that it would be difficult to obtain useful information only from the low-level people around him.

Only from those who are stronger and occupy high positions, can they obtain the many secrets that they want to know.

Only then can we understand what is the reason that has prompted so many forces to focus on their caravan together.

...

The word count was a bit short just now, so I added it. Tears, sorry.
