Chapter Eleven: Thirty-six Giant Bandits in the North
With the knife on his neck, Ma Kuo couldn't calm down even if he didn't want to.
He directly waved his hand and asked the others to put down their weapons, looked directly at Chu Xiu and said: "Tell me, how do you know our origins?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "I guess, the master of Mazhai has good kung fu, and it seems that he is not from a wild background. And judging from your behavior, although you look like bandits, you are enforcing orders and prohibitions, and you don't have the casualness of ordinary bandits.
In addition, the last time you mentioned the word Qilian, Master of the Mazhai, it is even more suspicious. The bandits are connected with the word Qilian. Except for the Qilian cavalry among the thirty-six giant bandits in the North, I
I really can’t think of anything else.”
Hearing this, Ma Kuo couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Damn, it's because I didn't keep my mouth shut about my feelings."
In fact, although Chu Xiu said that he relied on these detailed observations, he was actually able to determine the identity of the other party because the original plot mentioned news about the thirty-six giant bandits in the North.
They are bandits in a small way, but when banditry develops to the extreme, it becomes a giant bandit, a giant bandit who robs the world!
The three major powers in the world, Northern Yan, Dong Qi, and Western Chu, are now about the same strength. But a few decades ago, Northern Yan was extremely weak. It was jointly attacked by Dong Qi and Western Chu, and could not be controlled by the outside world, let alone
Internal.
In the troubled times, a large number of heroes rose up. In the northern part of the Yan Kingdom, groups of bandits quickly grew in strength and became the thirty-six giant bandits in the north. They were so powerful that they even dared to rob the Northern Yan court and Jianghu sects.
But later, Beiyan re-emerged. It was heard that the thirty-six giant bandits in the North also provoked Beiyan's martial arts sect, Extreme North Piaoxue City. They were defeated by the Beiyan court and Extreme North Piaoxue City. The leader of the thirty-six giant bandits died.
Death and disability are no longer a thing of the past.
In the original plot, there was news that the remnants of the thirty-six giant bandits from the North had appeared in Wei County. It was precisely because of this news that Chu Xiu dared to confirm the identities of Ma Kuo and the others.
Chu Xiu took the knife away and said calmly: "I know the details of the leader of Mazhai, but I didn't publicize it. Now the owner of Mazhai should know my sincerity, right?"
Ma Kuo rubbed his neck and muttered: "Your sword is indeed very fast, but if the distance were any further, I would never give you a chance to get close!"
After showing off his strength, Ma Kuo asked: "What exactly do you want to trade with my boss? It's the same thing if you tell me first."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I know the whereabouts of Pang Hu, the leader of the Qilian Cavalry among your thirty-six giants, the 'Red Faced King'! I wonder if this information is enough to trade with?"
Ma Kuo was shocked when he heard this and shouted: "Do you really know the whereabouts of the great master? You didn't lie to me?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Take me to see the person behind you. He will naturally be able to tell whether what I say is true or false. Besides, I won't dare to lie when I get there."
Ma Kuo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you can come with me. My boss is on the other side of Beishang Mang Mountain. It will take a few days to get there."
Originally, Shangmang Mountain was not divided into north and south. It was just a mountain range. However, the mountain range in the middle was slightly smaller, and Tongzhou Prefecture was in the center. Therefore, the locals in Wei County called it North Shangmang Mountain and South Shangmang Mountain.
The place where Chu Xiu is now is Nanshang Mang Mountain, leading to the Nanshan mining area, while Beishang Mang Mountain is north of Tongzhou Prefecture, leading to Yan State.
Ma Kuo took Chu Xiu all the way to Bei Shang Mang Mountain. It took him five days to take a small road before arriving at Bei Shang Mang Mountain.
In the Beishang Mang Mountain, a large-scale cottage appeared in front of Chu Xiu. There were high-rise arrow towers around it. It looked much more formal than Ma Kuo's small cottage.
Ma Kuo explained: "After arriving in Wei County, my boss established a cottage here, but just in case, we still have a small group of people scattered outside, just like my small cottage."
Ma Kuo blew a few strange whistles, and immediately several bandits came over. They raised their hands to Ma Kuo and said, "Boss Ma, why are you back today free? Who is this kid?"
Ma Kuo said: "An acquaintance, I will take him to see the boss first."
The bandits just nodded and paid no more attention. It was obvious that Ma Kuo had enough prestige here and was at least worthy of the trust of these bandits.
After arranging Chu Xiu in a living room, Ma Kuo left directly, obviously going to find the person behind him.
Chu Xiu was not in a hurry and just drank tea quietly. After a while, Ma Kuo walked in with a man in his thirties, tall and powerful, with a leopard head and eyes.
This man is much stronger than Chu Xiu. He has already reached the blood coagulation realm. In Chu Xiu's view, the man has even reached the peak of the blood coagulation realm and is only one step away from entering the innate realm.
The man looked at Chu Xiu, and a fierce aura rushed to his face. He said in a deep voice: "You are the one who said you know the whereabouts of the great master?"
Ma Kuo said quickly: "This is Boss Han Bao Han, one of the personal guards of the former head of the family."
Chu Xiu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "That's right, Chu Xiu has met Boss Han."
Han Bao waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what you want. Of course, don't think about it, otherwise I can pry the news out of your mouth."
!”
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "Boss Han, don't scare me. In fact, I didn't intend to trade this news at first. Now I'm telling you, Boss Han, as a meeting gift.
As far as I know, after Master Pang Hu was seriously injured by people from the Beiyan court, he has hid in the barren mountains and dense forests of Liaodong County in the north, is recovering his strength, and wants to make a comeback."
Chu Xiu didn't lie to them. Pang Hu, the 'Red Faced King' in later generations, did bring some trouble to the Beiyan court after he recovered his strength. Unfortunately, it was just a small trouble and was easily solved by the Beiyan court.
Already.
Han Bao asked doubtfully: "You didn't lie to me? Those who participated in the extermination of our thirty-six giant bandits were also people from the Far North Piaoxue City. The Far North Piaoxue City is in the North, and the boss will continue to stay in the North.
land?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "The barren mountains and dense forests in Liaodong are desolate and uninhabited. Neither Piaoxue City in the far north nor the Northern Yan court will enter them, and only some herb collectors will occasionally enter.
Master Pang Hu just wants to restore his strength, not develop his power. This kind of place is perfect.
Besides, you all must have heard of the principle of darkness under the lamp. Even you yourself could not have imagined that Master Pang Hu would still stay in the North, let alone the imperial court and Piaoxue City in the far north.
If Boss Han doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Liaodong County to have a look in person. There must be a code message from Master Pang Hu there. From here, hurry to Liaodong County and you can arrive in more than a month."
After hearing this, Han Bao's expression softened slightly, and he cupped his hands towards Chu Xiu and said, "If you can really find the master, I will accept this love. Tell me, what do you want?"
Chu Xiu didn't say what he wanted. He asked instead: "What will Boss Han do after he finds Master Pang Hu?"
Han Bao said matter-of-factly: "Of course I will take the people from the village to join the boss."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "That's wrong. Boss Han, Master Pang Hu is currently recuperating. It will have no effect if you go to him. On the contrary, your actions will increase the risk of exposing the master. So I can guarantee that you
After the people sent there meet the big boss, the big boss will definitely let you stay in Wei County temporarily and obey his orders.
So, Boss Han, what you have to do now is to accumulate money and food in Wei County, cultivate resources, and prepare for the future rise of the great master."
Han Bao rolled his eyes. He was a rough man. When he followed Pang Hu, he was just an ordinary bodyguard with only loyalty and bravery.
But he was not an idiot. Although Chu Xiu's words sounded nice, he would not just believe what Chu Xiu said as an outsider.
Han Bao asked directly: "Boy Chu Xiu, what do you want from being so considerate of me? Although your Chu family is only a little powerful in Tongzhou Prefecture, it is still a local hegemon after all. You don't want to join our Beidi San
Sixteen giant bandits, right?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What I want is very simple. I don't want to trade with you, Boss Han, but to cooperate and have long-term cooperation."
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?"
Chu Xiu pointed to Shangmang Mountain outside and said: "Wei County is a three-nothing zone. Beiyan's rule of Wei County is in name only, so bandits are rampant in Wei County. Even in Shangmang Mountain, there are probably dozens of bandits.
However, these bandits went too far, stealing wealth and killing people, and showed no mercy to the caravans coming and going."
Han Bao sneered: "We are bandits and they are a caravan. Why should we show mercy to them?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "But because of this, those caravans were afraid of bandits, so they simply did not take the small roads in Shangmang Mountain and took the main roads instead. Although it was time-consuming, it was safe.
Or arrange a large number of escorts to accompany them so that the bandits cannot attack. If this happens more and more, it will also lead to less and less business among bandits in Shangmang Mountain."
Han Bao frowned when he heard this. In the past, the Thirty-Six Giant Bandits in the North had specialized people to make suggestions. He had never considered these things. Han Bao couldn't help but ask: "What should we do?
"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "There is no place without rules. If there are no rules, we will make rules! Caravans coming and going can enter and exit Shangmang Mountain at will, but they have to hand over a part of their money. After Boss Han takes the money, he can take the initiative to escort the merchant.
The caravan has left Shangmang Mountain. Anyone who wants to take advantage of this caravan will be your enemy, Boss Han.
When the rules are finalized and your reputation spreads, Boss Han, the caravans coming and going will take the initiative to pay you money."
Han Bao thought for a while and said, "Wouldn't this mean that I would be the enemy of the bandits in the entire Shangmang Mountain?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "One voice in the entire Shangmang Mountain is enough. Doesn't Boss Han have the confidence to deal with those rabble?"
Han Bao laughed ferociously and said, "Of course! If I hadn't been injured, I would have dealt with those losers long ago."
Chu Xiu glanced at Han Bao in surprise. It seemed that this man should be innate at the peak of his strength, but he made a mistake.
