The Luo family is just a small family, and it can't even be called a martial arts family, because there are only a few martial arts students in the entire family, and every time they go on business trips, some of the people who escort the caravans even know how to use fists and kicks.
I haven't practiced, I'm just an ordinary servant.
A steward of the Luo family's caravan shouted to the caravan: "Please be more efficient! Wait until you leave Shangmang Mountain and pass by Tongzhou Prefecture before you rest!"
The caravan was struggling to move forward on the small road. At this time, Feng Yidao and others stood at the intersection with their golden swords, without any cover.
In the past, the people from the Luo family's caravan must have turned around and ran away, but now, the steward of the Luo family came up to Feng Yidao with a smile, took out a piece of silver and said, "Everyone
Heroes of Shangmang Mountain, this is the toll, you heroes can use it to drink."
Feng Yidao didn't take the silver, but instead slapped it away, and said with a gloomy expression: "Are you fucking kidding me? Fifty taels of silver is enough for me to drink with you, but what about the brothers behind me?
Are they going to drink the northwest wind?"
The steward of the Luo family was shocked. He immediately yelled: "You heroes of Shangmang Mountain, I really didn't fool you. The toll is always 10% of the value of the goods. I'm going to the Luo family."
I brought a lot of goods with me, but I had already paid a silver deposit last time, so I only brought more than 500 taels of goods when I came back. Most of them were just some local specialties of Yan State. Don't look at it.
It’s a lot, but it’s actually worthless, why don’t you guys go check it out?”
Feng Yidao waved his hand directly and said: "Sir, I don't care about that. Why don't you tell me in advance if you don't bring those goods when you come back? Just for your fifty taels of silver, I ended up waiting here early in the morning with my people.
Come on, tell me what to do about this matter."
At this time, the stewards of the Luo family were almost crying. Facing such a group of vicious bandits, what could they do?
Feng Yidao chuckled twice and said: "Don't blame me for bullying you. Let's do this. You can leave and leave all the goods. Remember to be smarter next time. Don't tell me that I broke the rules and something like this happens in the future."
Let me know in advance."
Just as the steward of the Luo family was about to say something, he saw Feng Yidao's face darken and said coldly: "What, you don't want to? You want money at the risk of your life?"
Being frightened by Feng Yidao, the manager of the Luo family immediately did not dare to say anything more and immediately fled in panic with others.
After everyone left, Chu Xiu and Ma Kuo walked out of the dense forest. Feng Yidao waved his hand and said, "Master Chu, if you like something, just take it."
Chu Xiu looked through the goods and found about a dozen secret boxes among them. He took the secret boxes away and said to Feng Yidao: "Leader Feng, I will leave these remaining items to you to deal with."
Feng Yidao saw that Chu Xiu just took the secret box, and he didn't say much. In the past, when the thirty-six giant bandits in the North were at their strongest, they had obtained a lot of secret boxes.
It’s just that the element of luck in this thing is too bad. Normally, if someone discovers the ruins of a large sect, it goes without saying that there must be good things in the secret box in the ruins. Grab it first, and it will not flow outside at all.
go.
Most of the secret boxes that have actually been released to the outside world are of unknown origin, or were excavated from the ruins of some small sects, and there are basically no good ones.
After getting the secret box, Chu Xiu, Ma Kuo and others went down the mountain directly, but after entering Tongzhou Mansion, the two parties separated.
It seemed suspicious that so many people would join Chu Xiu's command, so people like Ma Kuo would enter Tongzhou Mansion in batches and join his command in batches.
Back in his courtyard, Chu Xiu opened the secret boxes one by one and looked at the contents.
The two things that the Luo family got should be good things, but they are not considered treasures. Otherwise, the news would have spread out long ago, and there would not be several small families competing for them.
He opened the secret boxes one by one, and when Chu Xiu opened the fifth one, one of the sheepskin books appeared in front of Chu Xiu, with the three words "Blood Sword Sutra" written on it.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. This technique had appeared in the original world and was rated as level three. It was not high, but it was definitely not low either.
Opening it and taking a look, the sword skills in the Blood Sword Sutra can be summed up in just one sentence: evil and ruthless!
The angle of the sword was so weird that it was hard to guard against. Every move was almost a killing move. It was clearly an extremely extreme demonic technique, but it was quite to Chu Xiu's liking.
The Qinglong in the Sleeve was cultivated by Chu Xiu to the point of entry, and even drawing the sword out of the sheath has become instinctive.
But the Qinglong in the sleeve is supposed to be the art of hiding the sword. What is important is the surprise at the moment when the Qinglong goes out to sea and kills with one strike.
As a result, now that he was facing an enemy, Chu Xiu had no other way to defend himself, so he could only choose to use the Qinglong in his sleeves as soon as possible.
It would be fine if this sword kills the opponent or seriously injures him, but if he is blocked or dodged by the opponent, then Chu Xiu's sword will be meaningless, and its power will be reduced by 90%.
Now with the Blood Sword Sutra as an assistant, Chu Xiu's combat effectiveness can be made a little stronger.
The Blood Sword Sutra was put away by Chu Xiu, and he was going to practice it later. The third-level skills were indeed a treasure for a small family like the Luo family, so no wonder they would cause competition.
The remaining secret box was also opened by Chu Xiu, but the contents inside were somewhat unexpected. It turned out to be a hidden weapon from the Qianji Sect.
During the ancient catastrophe, the strongest person in martial arts regarding hidden weapons was the Tang Sect in Sichuan.
After the catastrophe, the survivors of the Tang Clan in Central Shu re-established the Tang Clan and renamed it Tangjiabao. The Shu Middle Generation in Western Chu was the top martial arts force in the land of Western Chu.
Moreover, before the ancient catastrophe, the Qianji Sect’s attainments in hidden weapons were second only to the Tang Sect.
But what is different from the Tang Sect is the understanding of hidden weapons between the two sects.
The Tang Sect pays attention to hidden weapon techniques and the use of poisons. It is still based on people and supplemented by hidden weapons. The current Tangjiabao is following the route of the Tang Sect in the past.
The main research of Qianjimen is on hidden weapons that ordinary people can use. Although the cost is high, they are undoubtedly more suitable for some low-level warriors.
It's a pity that the inheritance of Qianjimen has been cut off. Although Tangjiabao sometimes makes some hidden weapons, there are not many.
The hidden weapon in Chu Xiu's hand now is called Qianye Ling. It looks like just a cylinder. There is a description in the secret box that as long as the trigger is pressed, the thousands of thin iron leaves in the cylinder will explode.
The power is extremely terrifying, but it is a one-time use.
Moreover, the description states that Qianye Ling's power can theoretically kill an innate warrior, but in fact that is just a theory. In a face-to-face situation, an innate warrior is prepared and can definitely block this hidden weapon.
While Chu Xiu was practicing hard on the Blood Sword Sutra he had just obtained behind closed doors, Chu Shang was already preparing to return to Tongzhou Mansion with his caravan.
For Chu Shang, doing business this time was just like playing for fun, without the slightest pressure.
With Lin Qian, a master of the blood coagulation realm, protecting them, they paid the tolls according to the rules when passing by Shangmang Mountain, and the bandits obediently let them go, and they were not in danger at all.
Thinking about it this time, he made a huge profit by proposing to his father in exchange for the Chu Xiu caravan.
Of course, Chu Shang can only mention this kind of thing once. If he mentions it too much, he is pushing his limits. He is not an idiot. He knows that his father's favor for him has its limits. Once he makes Chu Zongguang disgusted, then he will be in the Chu family.
His status is no different from that of Chu Xiu.
Just as I was thinking about this, about a hundred bandits appeared in front of me, blocking the way and collecting tolls.
The leader is still Feng Yidao. He often guards this area and everyone in the Chu family's caravan recognizes him.
A steward under Chu Shang handed over a banknote, cupped it in his hand and said, "Chief Feng, please give way."
Feng Yidao frowned and said, "It's only four hundred taels, why is it so little? Let's go and search."
The steward quickly said: "Chief Feng, our Chu family is all about rules. The tolls we should pay will definitely not be less."
Feng Yidao sneered: "You don't have to say whether you follow the rules or not, I have the final say! Now you don't let me search, is there something fishy in this?"
Chu Shang behind him had a look of anger in his eyes. The last time he went to Yan Kingdom, he had never suffered such an insult.
Just as he was about to say something, a steward next to him quickly stopped him and said: "Fourth Young Master! Don't be impulsive! This is Shangmang Mountain after all. If they want to search, just let them search. We didn't do any tricks anyway.
."
Chu Shang snorted coldly and said, "Let them search!"
Several bandits walked over, searched the caravan's carts one by one, made a final calculation, and whispered a few words to Feng Yidao.
Feng Yidao sneered and said: "You also said that there is nothing wrong with you. The goods of your caravan are worth about 6,000 taels, so the toll paid is not 400, but 600!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Shang couldn't help it. He pointed directly at Feng Yidao and shouted angrily: "You are just deliberately looking for trouble!
What price do a group of thieves know? I'll give you this cart of goods. If you can sell it for six thousand taels, these goods will be yours!"
Upon hearing this, the steward next to Chu Shang suddenly said to himself that this was not good. These four young masters were too reckless and actually went toe-to-toe with those bandits.
Although he has never been in charge of a caravan before, he also knows that people have to bow their heads when they are under the roof.
This is Shangmang Mountain, the territory of those bandits. Isn’t it just an extra two hundred taels of silver? If these bandits want to extort money, then just spend an extra two hundred taels of silver to buy a safe place. Why bother to conflict with them?
