In the Li Family Courtyard in Wancheng, Li Yuan walked into the inner hall and came to Gu Sheng's side. He laughed heartily and said, "Brother Teng, brother Teng, didn't you see how ugly Liu Sanlong's face was just now?"
The ancient well in Gusheng was as calm as a wave, and he said to himself: "One hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold, excluding the twelve thousand taels paid to the city guard's middlemen, there are still one hundred and eight thousand taels, which is one thousand and ten pieces of silver."
Eight hundred thousand taels.
Fortunately, Liu Sanlong had to prepare gold and purple gold, otherwise transportation would have been a big problem. However, Liu Sanlong would definitely not swallow this breath after suffering such a big loss, and he might take revenge. Maybe there will be no peace in this journey.
.”
"Do you need to find an escort?"
Li Yuan's heart tightened when he heard this. He returned from joy to reality and seemed a little nervous.
"Need not!"
Gu Sheng pulled out the polished long knife, and the bright white back of the knife reflected a somewhat blurry figure. After doing a trick, he looked at the Black Wind Leopard lazily basking in the sun next to him, "Don't worry! Your safety along the way will not be a problem.
.”
"That's good!"
Li Yuan nodded, "Then, I'll tell my servants to prepare some things, and we'll leave as soon as the gold arrives!"
"This house!"
Li Yuan looked at the servants who were rummaging through the room, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. The home he had lived in for more than ten years was about to leave, and perhaps, once he left, he would never come back.
"Brother Li doesn't have to deal with this house!"
Gu Sheng walked to Li Yuan's side and said, "We are not going to Jiangning County to flee, so we don't have the opportunity to lower the price. Keep the house, and when we come back later, you will have a place to stay."
"Ha~ That's right, I got it wrong!"
Li Yuan nodded, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
…
At the gate of Wancheng City, local parent Guan Wancheng Tiechengshou personally saw off a motorcade, which attracted many people's attention.
"Brother Li! Have a nice trip!"
Tiecheng Shou took the wine glass from the servant's hand, had a drink with Li Yuan and then kept it with great enthusiasm. Those who didn't know it thought they had such a good relationship!
"Thank you, Lord Castle Keeper, for your concern!"
Li Yuanman drank a glass of wine and said goodbye to Tiecheng Shou with fists clasped.
"Liu Sanlong has contacted the robbers outside, and they will attack if they leave the city for hundreds of miles. You'd better find another way!"
Such words suddenly came to Li Yuan's ears. He looked up and looked at Tiecheng Shou, who was smiling. He did not make any other actions. He still went through the normal process and drove away from Wancheng with the Li family's motorcade.
"Lord City Guard! This Li Yuan is so ignorant!"
The leader of the city guard walked up to Tiecheng Shou and said, "You showed your kindness to him and tried to retain him on time, but he still insists on going his own way. He is really looking for death!"
"No~"
Tie Chengshou shook his head, "Li Yuan is not such an impulsive person. There must be something I don't know about."
"The Liu family sent people to set up an ambush in Tieyunling, a hundred miles away. Do we want to send people there?"
Another man who looked like a master came closer.
"Need not!"
Tie Chengshou shook his head, "I promised the Liu family not to interfere in the business affairs, and it was already a great honor to remind the Li family. Since they are not willing to accept it, let me see what trump card he has!"
"Brother Teng, we are in trouble!"
Li Yuan drove his horse to Gu Sheng, who was guarding the leopard in front. "Just now, the Tiecheng guard warned me that there are men and horses of the Liu family ambush a hundred miles away. They actually dare to take the risk."
"A hundred miles away, what dangerous terrain is there!"
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, took out a blueprint from the pocket beside him, and spread it on the black wind leopard's back.
"It should be here, Tieyunling!"
Li Yuan pointed to a place where several peaks were drawn on the map. "The official road is about 120 miles away and will pass through the outskirts of Tieyunling. Tieyunling has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There have always been many bandits there.
This cutting diameter.
However, they had a certain style in the past and would not venture out of Tieyunling to go to Guandao to plunder. At least, the last time that happened was three years ago. Afterwards, the area was plowed by Tiecheng guards.
The thieves are scattered. Unexpectedly, within three years, there will be another one~"
"Liu Sanlong should have reached an agreement with that city guard!"
Gu Sheng tapped his finger on the map a few times, as if he was thinking about something.
Li Yuan wondered: "Then what did he mean by the warning just now!"
Gu Sheng replied: "Obviously, the twelve thousand taels of gold worked and fed him half full."
"Half full?"
Li Yuan was a little confused.
"If he is really full, he will not send a warning, but will send someone to escort you all the way away!"
Gu Sheng clicked his finger on the map, as if he was planning something.
Li Yuan worriedly said: "Then do we need to change our route?"
"Need not!"
Gu Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Just follow the original path. Believe me, they are not a problem."
…
On Tieyunling, a large number of horse thieves and robbers were armed with bows and arrows, and they were clearly divided into several camps.
"When the caravan arrives, follow my instructions, do you understand?" A fair-skinned middle-aged man looked at the people around him. This man was Liu Sanlong, the patriarch of the Liu family in Wancheng.
"Don't worry! Brother Liu San, we have cooperated so many times. We all know what you want and we all listen to you. But, Brother Liu, they really brought one hundred thousand taels of gold!" Several others around him said
The bandit leaders dressed similarly were chatting and laughing, but some people didn't quite believe it.
Someone even said rudely: "Liu San, where did you get your news? Is it accurate?"
"Lai Wu, what do you mean? I personally sent them ninety thousand taels of gold and one hundred and eighty taels of purple gold."
Liu Sanlong said dissatisfied: "We have not cooperated once or twice. If you don't believe me, just don't come."
"Haha~"
Another bald man said: "Who knows if this is a trick of yours? Who doesn't know that you have a reputation of 'keeping three hands', which has deceived countless people in Wancheng.
Moreover, it’s not like you haven’t done anything illegal before. Why did Da Mang Bear get destroyed? It’s because you and Zhao Yuanzuo were fooled. You, Liu Sanlong, have no credibility on the road. If Zhao Yuanzuo hadn’t protected you, you
His head had been cut off a long time ago."
"Huang Sa, you~"
Liu Sanlong was angry and raised his whip to strike, but he did not expect that the other side would react even more. Many arrows were already aimed at this side, waiting for an order and ready to fire at any time.
"Okay! Everyone, take a step back!"
An old man with silver hair and long beard came out to be the peacemaker, "Lai Wu, Huang Sa, please stop saying a few words, Da Mang Xiong, it's because he broke the rules himself, and after getting the benefits, he found others to sell the stolen goods, and he can't blame Liu Sanye.
Fall out.
But! Third Master, we all live by licking the blood with a knife, and we only have our lives left. We can’t be too careful. This is such a big business, and according to what you said, the Li family did not hire an escort to protect them. What do you think?
, it’s not common sense. You’d better say it carefully!”
