Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 183 Bandit
Exiting the north gate of Beicheng, there is an ancient road extending to the north, passing through villages and small towns, leading directly to the mysterious valley among the mountains on the northern border of Zhuo Kingdom.

After more than a dozen miles away from Beicheng, stretches of low hills began to appear beside the ancient road. Messy vegetation grew on the hills, which was not a suitable place for people to live. Therefore, there were no villages on both sides of the road that was about four or five miles long.

Also because of the sparse population, this section of the road has become a favorite place for bandits to ambush. In order to prevent the hard-earned coins and purchased goods from being robbed, merchants often go together when passing by here.

It was in the afternoon at that time, and the merchants who went to the mountains to buy mountain goods had already passed through here to the north in the early morning, and most of them would not return until dusk.

The warm sun moved quietly, reflecting on the ancient road, illuminating the cracked loess ground.

Accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, a man in Tsing Yi turned a corner and walked up this section of the ancient road where bandits are most likely to ambush.

I saw that the man was tall and thin.He has clear eyebrows, and a pair of moderately thick lips with slightly raised corners, making him seem to be smiling even when he is expressionless, with a gentle and kind appearance.

He carried a two-foot-high pannier on his back, which contained meat wrapped in oilcloth, several sets of ready-made clothes, saponins, towels, and other daily necessities, which were almost full.

A basket full of things should have some weight, and the man in Tsing Yi held the shoulder straps of the basket with both hands to reduce some of the weight on his shoulders.

At this time, he was the only one on the quiet ancient road, which was about four or five miles long, and such a lonely figure was the most likely to attract robbers, but there was no trace of fear on his face, and his pace did not speed up. Meaning, walk forward unhurriedly.

When the man in Tsing Yi came to the side of a low mountain with lush vegetation, accompanied by a rustling sound, suddenly a masked man in black scarf stood up from behind the weeds one after another, jumped onto the ancient road, and surrounded the men in Tsing Yi. surrounded.

Such a change caused the man's footsteps to stop. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked around at the dozen or so black-clothed men who surrounded him, with an unbelievable feeling on his face. ?”

At this time, the last tall and burly masked man jumped down from the short hill. He walked slowly to the front of the man in black, and replied in a dull voice, "Boy, it's not easy for our brothers to guard the ancient road. Please leave some money to reward the brothers, so that the brothers can have a full meal and a good drink!"

Talking about guarding the ancient road, this is a high-sounding statement, but what these people did was clearly blocking the road and looting.

The man in Tsing Yi looked away from the dozens of masked men, looked down at his left chest, and saw a vivid fox's eye embroidered with gold thread on the shirt there.

In other words, he didn't wear the wrong clothes, and he wore clothes without the logo of Shenmou Valley.

After confirming the fox's eyes on the shirt, the man looked up at the tall and burly man who spoke just now, and asked in a warm and shallow voice, "Don't you all see who I am?"

The tall man sneered, and said disdainfully: "I can't see who you are, and I don't want to know who you are. I just want some passing money. If you are sensible, hand over your valuables obediently. I will let you leave safely, otherwise, don't blame the brothers for not having eyes!"
