"Is this true? Great!"
As soon as Guan Heng said these words, not only the leader of the local soldiers, Qiao Fei, was happy, but also the merchants around him became happy. At first, they were a little afraid of the ghost-swallowing tiger, but the giant tiger was right next to Guan Heng. Sleeping lazily, it didn't look scary at all from the outside, so everyone gathered around and started talking about what happened. 81 Chinese website
But these people were so noisy that Guan Heng suddenly growled: "Stop, just two of them can talk, and the others should shut up. You are really noisier than snakes and birds. It's annoying to death."
After hearing this, the merchants stopped talking, but the snake-like bird sitting on the head of the ghost-swallowing tiger called out twice in dissatisfaction: "Quack!"
"Li, you and Qiao Fei tell me what happened. Everyone else, please sit down and calm down." After listening to Guan Heng's instructions, everyone found a clean place and sat down around him cross-legged. At this time, Li Xiaocai told what happened.
After breaking up with Guan Heng and the others, Li and his son moved overnight to Qinghe City, where acquaintances lived, in order to avoid trouble. Fortunately, it was not that far away.
In order to make a living, father and son Li Da and Li Xiao temporarily joined a caravan under the introduction of their friends to help Luan Yao, the lord of Qinghe City, transport a batch of valuables back to Qinghe City from hundreds of miles away.
At first, the caravan marched smoothly, and Qinghe City sent more than a dozen soldiers to escort the caravan to ensure safety. Unexpectedly, when passing by here, a group of bandits rushed down from the nearby "Qiyang Mountain", killed the caravan protected by the soldiers, plundered all the goods, and finally walked away.
"Fortunately, that group of bandits did not easily injure anyone's life. My men and several merchants were slightly injured, but they are all fine."
Qiao Fei said at this time: "But the valuable goods are lost. We soldiers and merchants are afraid that our lives will be at stake, because the city lord hates his subordinates for failing to do things well."
When everyone was talking about this, Guan Heng also got to know Luan Yao, the lord of Qinghe City, who had occupied the territory of Qinghe City many years ago, recruited troops and horses, and proclaimed himself the lord of the city.
Qinghe City had no intention of surrendering to the six major tribes in the north of Chongguo. Luan Yao claimed that he would only pay tribute to the Chongguo royal family alone every year and would never bow to any shortcomings.
Everyone knows that Luan Yao's tyrannical style and attitude are based on something. It turns out that the local soldiers under Qinghe City have an elite unit, known as the "Qinghe Soldiers", with more than 300 people, all of whom are He is in the realm of dark green aura, brave and good at fighting, daring to fight, and all the four commanders are strong in the crimson realm, and he is Luan Yao's right-hand man!
Relying on the four commanders and three hundred soldiers, Luan Yao could rule the area within a hundred miles of Qinghe City. Moreover, this man was greedy, ruthless and cunning, especially narrow-minded. Bao, to put it bluntly, Luan Yao is nothing!
At this time, Guan Heng glanced at the gray-faced Qiao Fei and other local soldiers, and knew that they were also worried about their lives, just because the city lord and the four commanders simply did not regard ordinary people as human beings. Treat them like ants and bugs that can be crushed at any time.
"Well, what are these goods?" Shang Tianlin asked curiously at this time: "If possible, wouldn't it be enough to let the merchants compensate the city lord according to the price?"
"Oh, girl, we can't afford the compensation." At this moment, a businessman said with a grimace: "Before the caravan left, the manager of the city lord's palace sent someone to send a message. If there is any damage to the goods this time, If there is any mistake, we will compensate you at more than fifty times the original price. Even if you try to sell the goods, you can’t afford to compensate these huge amounts of goods.”
"Brother Guan, the goods this time are bronze vessels and statues customized by the city lord at high prices from several large nearby tribes. They are precious tributes that are planned to be presented to the Chong royal family this year."
Qiao Fei shook his head and said: "Not to mention paying fifty times the price, it is impossible to find an identical substitute. The wealth and lives of us people have come to an end this time."
"Well, it's really serious." Hearing this, Guan Heng and Shang Tianlin looked at each other speechless, but Agou muttered: "Humph, what's so difficult about this? If you lose something, just throw it away. If that city chief dares to stare, I will pull his head off for you."
"Brother Agou!" Guan Heng almost fell down because of the other party's words. He smiled bitterly and said: "The city lord has a large number of people. It's better for you to come and go freely by yourself. If you hurt someone, the other party will retaliate. Dear relatives, what should we do? According to me, it is best to go to the mountains to find the thieves and take the goods back."
As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Heng immediately turned around and asked Qiao Fei: "Those bandits went to the nearby Diyang Mountain, right?"
"Yes, yes, brother Guan, if you are willing to help us get the goods back, then I would be really grateful." Qiao Fei said at this time: "I think so, I am very familiar with the roads nearby, so I can't help you." How about I take you to Qiyang Mountain?"
Guan Heng chin slightly, then raised his voice and asked: "Okay, who else wants to go with me?"
Shang Tianlin thought for a moment and said, "I won't go. There are many injured people here. I want to bandage their wounds and treat them urgently."
Hearing this, Agou nodded slightly: "Then Shanyu and I will stay here to protect everyone."
"Chichi!" The sharp-billed mountain eagle suddenly waved to the snake-bird and let him pass. The snake-like bird originally wanted to follow Guan Heng up the mountain to play, but now it reluctantly landed on Agou's shoulder. .
"Then I will go up the mountain with the Young Master with the Ghost Swallowing Tiger." Ruotao said and stood next to Guan Heng. After everyone discussed their own affairs, Guan Heng led Ruotao and Tunguihu, and led by Qiao Fei, the leader of the local soldiers, to the foot of Qiyang Mountain.
"Stop here for a moment." Guan Heng suddenly remembered something and said, "Qiao Fei, whether the bandits have recently arrived here or have been here for a long time, you have to tell me clearly."
"That group of bandits?"
Qiao Fei scratched his head at this time, and then said with some embarrassment: "Brother Guan, if you don't ask, I almost forgot to mention that those bandits have been working near Qinghe City for several years and are the masters of the family. Yes, they are two siblings, the elder sister’s name is Teng Yu, they are said to be twenty-five or six years old, and she is very beautiful.”
At this point, Qiao Fei saw that Guan Heng and Ruotao were listening attentively, so he paused for a moment and continued: "That Teng Yu's brother is called Teng Jin. He is a strong and powerful man. He was killed not long ago. The two commanders of the Qinghe soldiers teamed up to capture him, and he is currently being held in a prison in Qinghe City. It is said that the city lord ordered that he be executed in public to intimidate the rampant bandits."
