Chapter 189 Meeting Song Jiang

The sun was scorching, and there were fewer and fewer passers-by on the official road. Soon, only the caravans were left walking along the official road. After walking for more than ten miles, they came to a mountain pass and had to enter a more than 400-meter-long road. canyon.

The entire caravan stopped. Lao Zhou and several merchants at the head of the group looked at the canyon in front of them. They all looked at each other with solemn expressions and hesitation on their faces. After passing this area, there was the notorious Qing Dynasty. Yunzhai.

"Boom!"

At this time, I heard the sound of a gong, and bandits with ragged clothes, thin skin, and unkempt hair jumped out from the grass around the col. They intercepted the caravan in the canyon and stared at the caravan. After a while, there were almost more than 500 bandits. Famous bandits surrounded the entire caravan.

Most of these bandits held sharpened wooden guns, and the remaining more than a hundred strong bandits had rusty steel knives. Among them, every forty or thirty bandits had a knife in front of them. A man who looked like a leader led the team, there were ten people in total, holding a bright steel knife, which looked extremely sharp, and the aura of the ten acquired warriors was undoubtedly revealed.

The caravan was startled by this turn of events, and the horsemen stopped the carriages one after another. The caravan was in some commotion for a while.

And Li Yuan's carriage was as stable as a mountain under Fan Jianqiang's control.

Li Yuan quietly looked at the bandits surrounding him through the car curtain. Even Ah Qing looked at these bandits with interest.

This was a mountain bandit, it was her first time meeting him!

Xiao Yezi was lying on the carriage window, his eyes showing curiosity.

It was his first time to come into contact with bandits at such a close distance. He was tired of hearing about how ferocious the bandits were in books and rumors, and today he could finally take a look.

The last time I saw the bandits was when I and Your Highness went to Lingzhou for the first time. Unfortunately, the bandits not only robbed Your Highness, but also attacked the princess. Every time, Your Highness watched the bandits attack the princess from a distance. , his cultivation level is not high, and he is too far away to see what the bandits look like.

Later, the princess went to the front to suppress the bandits, and she couldn't even see them.

Later, His Highness subdued General Yuwen, and the Princess subdued the group of fools in Lingfeng Village who did not look like bandits.

The hundreds of strong guards of the caravan jumped down from their respective carriages, took out their steel knives, and then quickly ran to the front of the carriage. The five Houtian warriors in the caravan stared closely at the ten Houtian realm leaders on the opposite side.

When several merchants in the caravan saw Qingyun Village appearing so quickly and being surrounded by more than 500 bandits, as well as ten Houtian warriors, they broke out in cold sweat and huddled behind the guards.

Seeing how useless these merchants were, Lao Zhou sighed inwardly, quickly dismounted, came to the front of the caravan, showed a friendly smile and said to the bandits in front:

"You good men, if you have something to say, if you have something to say!"

"Everyone goes out to seek wealth, so don't hurt the peace. I don't know which of you heroes is the king. We are willing to pay the toll."

"Look, this kind of caravan is still easy to deal with. Every merchant and peddler is extremely precious about his life."

Among the bandits, a man with a sinister face walked out. His clothes were several levels higher than those of the other bandits.

"Second Master!"

Following the shouts of the bandits, the second leader of the bandits came to Lao Zhou, spinning an iron fan in his hand, raising his forehead, and squinting at Lao Zhou. He looked at the caravan's trucks behind him out of the corner of his eye. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was. Slightly rising.

"Seeing as you are a bit brave, you should know who we are!"

"Of course, of course, the heroes of Qingyun Village are famous far and wide. Your Excellency is Yan Feng, the so-called Feiyun Shou of Qingyun Village. Head Yan!" Lao Zhou half-bowed and smiled humbly.

"Yes, yes, you are very knowledgeable, so I won't be embarrassed. You should know the toll rules of our Qingyun Village."

Yan Feng said with a smile, the fan in his hand flickering.

Lao Zhou's smile faltered. The toll rule of Qingyun Village is that 50% of the total value of the caravan can be released.

This is fifty percent!

If you give it to them, not only will your work be in vain, but you will also have to pay for it!

Sure enough, the faces of the several business partners who were huddled behind the guards turned pale. One of the shrewd businessmen finally remembered that there were two innate masters in the caravan, and hurriedly went to ask them to come out.

Yan Feng noticed the movement of the caravan behind Lao Zhou, but looked at Lao Zhou calmly and said:

"What's wrong? Is it difficult to handle?"

Lao Zhou forced a smile and was about to speak.

A powerful innate momentum rose in the caravan. A well-dressed middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage and jumped to the top of the carriage in front of the caravan. His face was upright and he said in a solemn tone:

"The second head of Qingyun Village, Zhang Qiang in Qinghe City, can you give me some face?"

On the carriage, Zhang Qiang's aura in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm spread out, making the caravan guards feel at ease.

Sure enough, when Zhang Qiang came out, there was some movement among the bandits around him. Many of the bandits behind them were holding wooden guns and dressed in ragged clothes. They swallowed and looked at Zhang Qiang nervously.

This is a master of the Xiantian realm!

One person can kill a large number of them in just a few moves.

When Yan Feng saw Zhang Qiang coming out, his eyes narrowed, his smile remained unchanged, he held the fan in his hand and said slightly:

"It turns out to be Master Zhang from Qinghe City, disrespectful!"

When Lao Zhou saw Yan Shun's appearance, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and slowly backed away.

Zhang Qiang felt relieved when he saw Yan Shun, who was in the early stage of Xiantian, showing respect to him. It would be nice if he could give him some face.

"Since Master Zhang is in the caravan, we in Qingfeng Village must give him a face. Let's make an exception this time for the caravan's toll!"

The swallow fan waved gently towards the caravan, and a light breeze floated towards the caravan. He looked at Zhang Qiang and said very generously:

"This time your toll will be less..."

Yanfeng slowly raised a finger, and in the expectant eyes of everyone in the caravan, slowly uttered a few words:

"Just one tael less!"

"One tael of silver?!!"

Several merchants were stunned.

On top of the carriage, Zhang Qiang's face turned red and his chest heaved with anger.

Isn't this humiliating him?

"You are humiliating me!" Zhang Qiang stared at Yan Shun who was smiling and said through gritted teeth, the innate energy swirling around him and the strong wind howling!

Yan Yan closed his fan, finally stopped pretending, and said with a cold face:

"Zhang Qiang? Haha, who are you!

A mere innate-level cat or dog dares to come out and clamor for Qingfeng Village to give him face. Do you deserve it? "

"Haha, that's right!"

A loud voice, accompanied by three strong winds, appeared in the canyon. Three figures quickly tapped the branches and jumped to Yanfeng's side.

"The boss!"

"Third Master!"

"The fourth master!"

As the bandits shouted one after another, the momentum of the bandits became higher and higher!

The first master is a master in the late innate stage, and the third master and the fourth master are masters in the early innate stage!

Opposite us is a piece of trash in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm. Why should he fight with our Qingyun Village!

Sure enough, when all four village leaders of Qingyun Village arrived, the entire caravan fell into panic.

Everyone in the caravan turned pale. Zhang Qiang, who was originally angry, suddenly stopped and his face turned blue and white.

Pan Hua, the leader of Dazhai, held a tiger-breaking machete in his hand, and the terrifying aura of late-stage innateness burst out from his body, and the surrounding air became distorted.

"Boss Zhou, Boss Hai, you guys, stop pretending. This batch of sales of your caravan is worth at least 300,000 taels. It is all the savings of you bosses. If you want to do something big, you can't do it, right? We I also want to do something big!"

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

Yan Feng, the two village leaders and a group of bandit leaders behind them laughed, looking at the group of frightened merchants with a playful look.

"You... how did you know?" Boss Jia Hai, who had just called Zhang Qiang out, pointed at Pan Hua and said tremblingly.

He is the one who spent all his savings to do this and then quit.

"Lao Wu, come out!" The third master laughed.

"Uh-huh!"

A person suddenly shot out of the caravan carriage. It was Liang Wen, another innate master who had been hiding in the caravan. He was originally used as a back-up by Lao Zhou and the others, but his figure jumped directly into the village leaders of Qingyun Village.

"Brothers, this is the fifth master of our Qingyun Village. Come and meet the fifth master!" Pan Hua patted Liang Wen, with a smile on his face, and shouted to the bandits behind him.

"Greetings to the Fifth Master!" the bandits shouted.

With a smile on his face, Liang Wen bowed his hands to Pan Hua, Yan Shun and other mountain bandits.

"What do you think of the meeting gift I brought?"

"Okay!" the bandits shouted!

"That's right, this time, thanks to the fifth master, we didn't miss this big fat sheep!" The fourth master laughed wildly and looked at the caravan with a fierce look!

At this moment, don't Lao Zhou and others understand that one of the innate masters they relied on was from Qingyun Village, and he was responsible for everything about the caravan!

Originally, they were careful to hide the value of the caravan, and with the two innate masters, even if they met the people from Qingyun Village, it was impossible for them all to go out. At most, there would only be one or two leaders. When the time came, there would be two innate masters to shock them. At worst, just pay some tolls.

Boss Hai was trembling all over and felt dizzy. Liang Wen was the one he recruited. In order for this early-stage innate master to escort him all the way, he paid a total of three thousand taels!

Everyone in the caravan looked at the group of bandits with slight trembling and fear, and kept retreating to the carriage.

There were also some loyal guards surrounding Lao Zhou and several merchants, looking around to see if they could find an opportunity to rush out.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing the retreat of the caravan, the bandits became even more arrogant and slowly approached them with swords and guns.

"Wait a moment!"

At this critical moment, Lao Zhou suddenly shouted!

Everyone stopped immediately, and everyone looked at him.

Lao Zhou took a step forward and said to Pan Hua, Yan Feng and other village leaders:

"All heroes of Qingyun Village, we are willing to give up all the goods and the banknotes on us. Please let us go!"

"Lao Zhou!" A merchant suddenly screamed when he heard that Lao Zhou had given all the goods to Qingfeng Village.

But he was quickly pulled by another person, and he held the merchant's mouth tremblingly. He was almost dead, and he would give these extraneous things if he could.

"You said you want to give us all the goods here?" The third master said with a sinister face and a sinister smile.

"Yes, all heroes, please let us go!"

Lao Zhou bowed and bowed.

"Brother, they said they would give us all the goods and banknotes here. Should we let them go?" Huang Ke, the fourth master, felt moved in his heart and asked Pan Hua, the first master.

"Confused, they are dead, all the goods here and the banknotes on them belong to us!"

Pan Hua waved his sword and looked at Huang Ke with hatred.

This old fourth bandit's quality is not good, he still needs to train more.

Pan Hua looked at Zhang Qiang, the only innate master on top of the caravan carriage, and said:

"Brother Zhang, I know they gave you five thousand taels to protect them. Now I can give you a chance to join our Qingyun Village, eat meat and drink wine with us, and share in the hardships and blessings!"

The most embarrassing thing now is Zhang Qiang. Facing the other five innate masters, he can neither stand nor sit, and dare not move.

When he heard Pan Hua's solicitation, his eyelids lit up, but when he turned to look at Lao Zhou and the others, he showed hesitation. Lao Zhou treated him well.

"I said, you are an innate master, why are you risking your life just for these five thousand taels!"

Seeing Zhang Qiang's excited expression, Pan Hua was overjoyed. If Qingyun Village and Zhang Qiang, who was in the middle stage of Xiantian, were added to him, he would definitely be sure to kill the famous Liangshan Village, which was adjacent to him!

"Join us and you will get more than 300,000 yuan in this batch. If you become our brother, you will get at least 10,000 yuan more!"

Yan Feng frowned when he saw Pan Hua recruiting Zhang Qiang.

At this moment, Lao Zhou and others were staring at Zhang Qiang nervously. He was their only support now.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang was also caught in a difficult choice, between friendship and survival.

Pan Hua and others became increasingly impatient when they saw Zhang Qiang's entangled look.

"Be strong and prepare to take action!"

In the middle of the caravan, Li Yuan reached Fan Jianqiang's ears, and Fan Jianqiang alone was enough to deal with them.

Li Yuan has no interest in testing this Zhang Qiang. Being able to get into trouble at this time already shows that he is very good.

In the face of life, selfishness is human nature.

Maybe if you help him in this desperate situation, his decision will be different.

"yes."

When Fan Jianqiang was about to get up, Li Yuan's somewhat surprised voice suddenly came to his ears again.

"Wait a moment."

When Fan Jianqiang was surprised, Li Yuan's spiritual consciousness suddenly felt that a large number of people were ambushing and moving forward on both sides of the canyon, and the person leading them surprised Li Yuan.

It's Song Jiang!

Behind the bandits in Qingyun Village, more than 800 bandits were ambushing in the grass and moving forward slowly, staring closely at the bandits who were encircling them in the distance.

The grass here is dense and tall. Song Jiang doesn't need to lean down, the long and dense grass can block his figure.

At this moment, there were seven innate masters, more than 20 acquired warriors, and more than 800 mountain bandits beside him.

In less than two months, Song Jiang had gone from the border of Lianzhou to now, and he had recruited so many people.

And from the eyes of these people, it can be seen that they respect Song Jiang very much.

Especially Tieniu, who is like a big black bull next to Song Jiang. He has now successfully broken through the innate realm, and he found that the more he respects his brother Gongming and the closer he is to him, the faster his cultivation will be. I believe that after a while, he will It can break through to the middle stage of Xiantian again.

"Brothers, it seems that the people in Qingyun Village are going to kill innocent people indiscriminately again. We must stop them. You can be a bandit out of helplessness, but killing innocent people indiscriminately is wrong."

Song Jiang sighed and said with compassion: "Brother, I originally wanted to take you to join the big forces in Lianzhou, but I didn't expect them to treat us as pigs or dogs. My brother is here to let the brothers live a good life, not to be their dogs! "

"We swear to follow brother Gongming to the death!" A late Xiantian realm master looked at Song Jiang with great emotion.

In order to prevent these brothers from being wronged by that big force, Brother Gongming took them away within a few days of joining the big force. As a result, he was suppressed and persecuted by that big force, and eventually had to fall into the trap of being a bandit.

"Since all brothers are willing to follow my brother and build a mountain village to do justice for heaven, then we should let more brothers who are suffering join us in Liangshan Village to protect more people from suffering!"

"This Qingyun Village has fallen into confusion, we must save them!"

"After we rush out, brothers, please don't do anything yet. Wait for my brother to talk to them!"

"Yes, brother Gongming!"
