Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 463 The Tragic Bandit Part [-]

At this time, the eyes of the old man were full of surprise.

He couldn't figure out how Shen Mu and the others escaped from the bandit's siege.

And why it can suddenly appear in front of them.

"How did you escape?"

Shen Mu looked at the old man, said with a smile: "I didn't escape, I just came out normally."

"It's impossible!" Before the old man could say anything, the cold and arrogant young woman beside him hastily denied Shen Mu's words: "There are obviously valuable things in your car, and those bandits can't let you go. With bandits?"

Shen Mu admired this little lady's genius logic very much, if they were really bandits, they would have stripped off their clothes and put them on the kang.

"Miss misunderstood, and look, your valuables are still in the car. It should be because we walked the path at night, so we are in front of you."

"Hmph, I... I think you guys have ghosts! Butler Sun, I don't think you should take them away with you."

The woman pretended to be calm and said coldly, but there was obviously a guilty conscience in her eyes.

After all, this is a game they set up, taking the lives of ordinary people at will, as bait and scapegoats on their way.

No matter how vicious the woman's heart is, she is still at the age of first love, and she is still a little younger.

Compared with women, the old man is much calmer.

Hearing Shen Mu's explanation, he more or less believed it, if he took a shortcut, he might really be faster than them.

And the reason why they were not killed last night was probably because the bandits were also fishing.

Could it be that the items in this cart can't satisfy those people at all?

So the other party is also fishing, thinking of swallowing them all?
At this time, the old man considered many possibilities in his heart.

But there are not many doubts about Shen Mu and the others. The old man himself is a monk in the middle martial arts realm, and he walked around the rivers and lakes for many years when he was young, and he thinks he is experienced.

He had spied on the three of Shen Mu a long time ago, except for their stronger physical bodies, they had no vitality fluctuations on their bodies, no doubt they were ordinary people.

He is not even at the lower level of martial arts, and he probably doesn't have much courage to lie.

"Cough, it's okay, let's make a false alarm, and don't misunderstand each other. Let's hurry up while it's dawn, and then we can make repairs in the next county at night."

"But..." The young woman hesitated to speak, she glared at Shen Mu, then turned around and took the young man beside her back to the carriage.

The old man looked at Shen Mu: "You have to follow closely this time, don't make any mistakes, we paid for it."

"Okay, don't worry." Shen Mu said with a smile.

After explaining.

The crowd set off again.

After the fright of last night, the coachmen were not sleepy at all. Even if there was a little trouble in the daytime, they were all scared, and the whole journey was frightening.

Fortunately, the whole day was calm, and the bandits behind did not catch up.

Finally arrived in Hujia County

If it was going at the previous speed, it must have been directly bypassed, and then moved forward overnight.

But after what happened last night, everyone dared not leave like this, and they would spend the night in the county town no matter what.

The old man booked an inn with the team.

Shen Mu, Zhao Taiji and Li Tieniu spent their own money to find a place to sleep.

After all, people only pay for the transportation of things, and it is the rule to control food and housing.

In order to continue the play, Shen Mu rented the firewood room of the inn for ten cash a night, which was in line with their identities.

at night.

Hujia County is very quiet.

In the firewood room, an oil lamp flickered, and Shen Mu sat on the straw mat, watching Zhao Taiji move a big box from the ox cart.

This big box is very inconspicuous, but there seems to be something shaking inside.

After opening it, there was a person who was tied up and stuck with a talisman inside.

The man was dressed in a black robe, with disheveled hair and raised moustache. His shape was very strange, but his terrified eyes could be regarded as expounding his current situation.

He was very scared.

And was beaten badly.

"Young man, pretend to be dead, get up and talk!" Zhao Taiji picked up the man and kicked him.

The man in black staggered and knelt in front of Shen Mu who was sitting on the straw mat.

"Forgive me...my lord, forgive me, I know I was wrong...don't dare next time!" The bearded man knelt down and begged for mercy.

Shen Mu opened his mouth and said: "Tell me, name, identity, origin, and you, a sea-observing monk, what can you do wrong? Why do you pretend to be a ghost?"

The man's face was pale, and he moved forward with his kneeling legs, and then said: "I... I am Cao Bi, a monk in the wild, there is no other way, so I will become the robber in the forest."

"No way?" Shen Mu smiled: "You are a sea-observing monk, not to mention going to the sect, even if you find some larger counties or big families to be guest ministers, it is more than enough, I will give you one more time opportunity, if you don’t tell the truth, then you don’t have to say it again.”

Hearing this, the man in black lost all color on his face.

He had felt the terror of the three before him.

In fact, until now, he couldn't figure out why such a terrifying figure appeared on this road section.

He was full of confidence before, but today he can gain something again.

As soon as the result appeared, it was directly grabbed and rubbed against the ground.

With the strength of his sea-observing realm, the opponent didn't even open his Qi Palace, relying purely on his physical body, he was knocked down with a few punches.

So it can be seen that the three people in front of them are at least the overhaul of the upper martial arts realm!

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Shen Mu's body, the man sighed tremblingly, and could only confess honestly.

"I said, I said, as long as the lord doesn't kill me, I'll say everything, alas..." The black-clothed man's eyes suddenly turned red, and the two beards that were originally raised turned down comically.

"My lord doesn't know, I... I was originally a monk in the forest of Xiaosong Mountain."

"Xiaosongshan?" Hearing the name seemed familiar: "Is it the Xiaosongshan near Yuncang Port?"

Cao Bi nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it turns out that the adults recognize it, it is Xiaosong Mountain near Yuncang Port, although the name has a small name, but in fact this Xiaosong Mountain is not small, but several low-level mountains connected together.

Due to the unfavorable geographical location and the mediocre luck of the land veins, there is no canonized mountain god, and there are some monsters and ghosts on the mountain, or monks from other sects. "

Shen Mu: "Then why did you come all the way here to rob?"

Cao Bi burst into tears, his expression a little unlovable: "Oh, my lord doesn't know something, but I was actually a good-looking disciple of literature and Taoism back then. I really shouldn't have listened to the witch's slander and finally left. The way of the side door..."

Shen Mu: "Oh?"

Zhao Taiji: "Is there anything about women?"

Li Tieniu: "Tell me."

Cao Bi: "..."

...

...

in the hotel room.

Steward Sun sat opposite the young woman and the boy.

The old man said slowly: "Miss is nothing more than annoyed, these three people are lucky, keep it, otherwise after arriving at Xiaosong Mountain, they will still have to make offerings before they can cross the mountain."

The woman's arrogant face was very disdainful: "It doesn't matter, it's just a few low lives, and I will listen to Grandpa's arrangement from now on."

The old man nodded with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, the old man will settle the small things on the road. When the time comes, miss will take over the family business. This will be a big deal."

The woman nodded, her face was a little angry: "This time they won too much, when I take over the ferry business of our Sun family, after rectification, I will definitely make them look good!"
