After a while, Fan Youfu in the carriage said, "Don't misunderstand Xia Pao Head, it's because the bandits on the grassland are too cruel. There are more people to protect the convoy, so everyone can be safer on the road."

The guy on the carriage said in a voice: "The more people, the more power, the Jurchens are powerful enough. With the Jurchens here, ordinary horse bandits dare not make up for our convoy. Xia Pai Head, what I said

Is there any reason?”

"There's a big deal." Xia Piaotou cursed.

"Hey, why are you scolding, Xia Pao Head!" The guy looked ugly.

Xia Pao Head no longer paid attention to the guy in the carriage, and only looked at Fan Youfu.

"Xia Patrol Head." Fan Youfu said, "I think I have heard from someone in the convoy these days. We have had rumors that the convoy encountered horse bandits on the grassland twice before."

Xia Pao nodded.

Fan Youfu continued: "To be honest, these are not rumors. Not only that, none of the guys I sent to the grassland from Fan Ji were able to come back, and all of them were buried in the grassland."

"It's all done by the bandits?" Xia Biaotou frowned.

Fan Youfu nodded and said, "These horse bandits are extremely vicious. We, Fan Ji, suffered two great losses. There is really no way, so we can only invite the Jurchens to help. We want to use the reputation of the Jurchens to scare away the horse bandits.

I hope Xia PaoTele can understand one or two.”

Xia Biaotou frowned and asked, "Your Fan Ji's goods were not sold to the Jurchens, right?"

"No, absolutely not." Fan Youfu hurriedly denied, "The convoy only went to Korqin and returned when he arrived in Korqin. He would never go to the territory of the Later Jin."

"What kind of territory of the Jurchens is all my territory of the Ming Dynasty." Xia PaoTouyu said dissatisfied.

What are the white mountains and black waters, and the dragon-rise land of the Later Jin Dynasty, they were once under the jurisdiction of the Nurganden Office of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all the lands of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, yes, yes, they are all from our Ming Dynasty." Fan Youfu nodded and agreed, and then said, "Are those places occupied by the Jurchens now? That's why I said that, don't blame Xia Pai Head.

”

Xia Pao Head said in a deep voice: "You Fan Ji wants to give me an explanation about this matter. Although I, Xia Guang, is just a stunner, never associate with the Jurchens."

Fan Youfu in the carriage smiled and said, "What Xia Pao said is that we, Fan Ji, have no choice. The two convoys that came to the grassland encountered horse bandits. Our Fan Ji suffered too much loss and could not invite the Jurchens only.

Please be considerate of Xia Pao.”

"Don't worry, I will naturally complete it after taking your Fan Ji's escort." Xia Guang said, "But I, Xia Guang, will not be with the Jurchens. When the Jurchens you Fan Ji invites, I will take people away. I will take people away when the Jurchens you Fan Ji invites.

As for the money I received from you Fan Ji this time, I will return it to you. I won’t make any money from Xia Guang.”

"Xia Pai, why bother!" Fan Youfu advised, "I, Fan Ji, are just a business. No matter how hard the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens fight, it doesn't matter to us merchants. We can't just put money and make money without making money.

Bar!"

"Butler Fan, you have to know that some money can be made, while some money that is unconscience cannot be made. If you make such money that you lose money, you will suffer harm to your descendants in the future." Xia Guang replied.

Before Fan Youfu could speak again, he urged his horse to get off his crotch and left Fan Youfu.

"you……"

Fan Youfu looked at Xia Guangyuan's back, and his teeth were itchy.

The guy in the carriage said, "Master, if you really want Xia Guang to meet the Later Jin, you will definitely know that our Fan Ji goods were sent to the Later Jin."

"This Xia Guang is simply a life-and-death thing." Fan Youfu cursed hatefully, and then said, "Don't worry about him, I have my own arrangements for this matter."

The guy next to him said, "When the Jurchens come, will we really let Xia Guang and other corpses leave?"

"It's not that easy to leave," said Fan Youfu. "Now they need to protect the convoy, and everything will be discussed when the Jurchens arrive."

The guy nodded.

Fan Ji's convoy continued to walk on the grassland, and the sky in the west was red, indicating that it was about to get dark.

At this moment, Xia Guang, who was walking in front of the convoy, suddenly shouted: "Stop, everyone is on guard, there is an unknown horse team approaching in front of you."

As he shouted, all the stooges in the convoy rode together to Xia Guang's side.

In the distance, under the sunset, a horse team was approaching the convoy.

"Xia Pao Head, what happened?"

When the convoy stopped, Fan Youfu asked Xia Guang in front of the convoy.

Xia Guang turned his horse's head and retreated to Fan Youfu's carriage, saying, "There is an unknown horse team approaching in front of me. I suspect it may be a bandit. I also asked Butler Fan to gather all the carriages and people together for my protection.

”

"It's right, it's right." Fan Youfu nodded repeatedly.

The convoy encountered such a thing as a bandit on the grassland. He knew that he could not help at all, so he could only count on Xia Guang and the escorts he brought.

After Xia Guang told Butler Fan, he turned his horse's head back and returned to the front of the convoy, and continued to stare at the horse team running from afar.

"Big, big butler, what should we do?"

The guy sitting in the same carriage with Fan Youfu stuttered in panic.

"What are you still standing there? Didn't you hear Xia Pao Head's words? Why don't you quickly gather the cart and the people together?" Fan Youfu patted the back of the guy's head with his hand.

I felt very panicked.

What he didn't expect was that the Jurchens did not come, but the horse bandits on the grassland arrived first.

The guy in the car walked down the carriage tremblingly. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he collapsed on the grass.

"It's useless." Fan Youfu cursed, then walked off the carriage himself.

Although he was just as scared in his heart, because he had been with Fan Yongdou for many years, his experience and experience were much better than that guy, so he naturally would not be as unbearable as that guy.

Getting off the carriage, he first glanced at the front of the convoy, just in the direction Xia Guang and the others faced, as if at the end of the grassland, there was a black shadow shaking.

He knew that it was because the distance was too far, and in fact, the black shadows swaying in that direction were all human figures.

Seeing this, he didn't dare to waste time. He hurriedly called the driver and the mates in the convoy to drive the cart together, and gathered the goods on the cart together.

Another guy who didn't know what was going on asked the people next to him and said, "What's wrong? Why did the butler get us all together and not rush to go?"

A coachman next to him replied, "It must have been a meeting with the bandits. Didn't he see the escorts in Xia's head of the escorts all in front?"

As he said that, he raised his chin in the direction of Xia Guang.

"What? Horse bandit!" a guy exclaimed.

The other guys also showed panic, and some people were panic-stricken and wanted to escape.

But Fan Youfu stopped him.

Fan Youfu said, "It's all quiet. At this time, leaving the convoy is going to die by yourself. Do you think you can survive on the grassland alone?"

The guy who had been following Fan Youfu also said, "The convoy has Xia Pao and others to protect it. Ordinary horse bandits cannot move our convoy at all. Everyone is at ease and there will be no trouble."
