It's been three days, not to mention bandits, not even a pheasant. The security in the south is pretty good, right?
The second roommate kept grumbling and complaining.
Li Junxian said: "Yi Ai, if you want me to blame you, who is not scared to see you standing on the roof of a car and showing off? Even if someone is really guilty, if someone jumps out and takes a look, oh... ...Who robbed whom?"
Fang Er gasped twice and said weakly: "Huh? So I was the one who scared you away? Fifth brother, I didn't bring a weapon. How do they know if I know martial arts? Besides, if there are really one or two I don’t like those little bandits either. If you want to hit them, just hit a big village with hundreds of people.”
…
Xiao Rui thought for a while and came up with an idea, "Maybe our carriage is too shabby and people don't like it. How about this, we will stay in a city tonight and exchange it for a more ostentatious carriage. The three of us will change it." Change your clothes and try to look like a rich man to see if you can attract the attention of bandits."
Fang Er's eyes lit up, yes, it's not that I look terrible, it turns out that the bandits think we are poor!
"Great, Brother Xiao, you still have an idea. How about we change to a pure gold carriage, which will definitely show off."
puff……
A solid gold carriage? How dare you think! Why don't you put a flag in front of the carriage and shout for people to come and grab it?
Xiao Rui sneered and said: "You kid... don't say I don't have so much money. Even if I really have so much gold to build a carriage, would you ask the old horse in front of me to move?"
"Let's have a four-horse chariot! Choose four strong horses." Fang Er blurted out.
Li Junxian smiled and said: "Okay, Yi Ai, four horses driving the shaft? The court has etiquette and rules. If you behave like this, those bandits will not dare to attack. Everyone knows that there are high-ranking officials in the car."
"According to what I said, and what the young master said, let's pretend to be rich people, especially you. We should dress up to make people know that we are a young and rich dandy, traveling south to play. Also, eat in the city, Spend money on shopping, show off, and try to get people to notice you.”
Fang Er was puzzled, "Why? We were on our way out of the city to find bandits. Are there any bandits in the city?"
Xiao Rui laughed loudly and said: "My silly little brother, you have too little experience in the world and don't know the truth behind it. Bandits and bandits who rob the roads along the way often station scouts in the city, which is commonly known as stepping on the plate and stepping on the plate. I gathered some ideas, noticed those customers who were easy to get, and sent people to follow them all the way, and sent people all the way back to the cottage to report the news and set up an ambush."
"Do you think those thieves in the cottage are just waiting for food? How is that possible? If they didn't plan to rob the rich businessmen, they would have died of starvation long ago just by squatting here every day!"
Fang Er slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Isn't it true? If there are no people on this road today, or all the people walking on it are poor people? Wouldn't it be in vain?"
"It turns out that Jie Dao is also so knowledgeable. Hehe, Brother Xiao, I just say, it's better to follow you. If you follow you, even if you become a bandit who dominates the mountain, you will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing."
Pfft...are you praising me?
"That's not right, Brother Xiao, are you so knowledgeable? Have you done this before?" Fang Er suddenly thought.
before?
Xiao Rui's thoughts were drawn back to when he was traveling to study. He traveled all over the world in a few years. What kind of things have he not encountered? I have been a bandit and been robbed by bandits... Tsk tsk. In the past, I only thought about inheriting the family business and becoming a rich man in the future. I didn't expect that I would achieve what I have today.
"Yes, I once worked as a bandit in Qingzhou for a few months, but it was too boring, so I disbanded the village and continued to travel."
real?
Oh my God, Brother Xiao, have you really been a bandit?
"Tell me, is it fun to be a mountain bandit? How about we scan the copycats this time and integrate them, so I can try what it's like to be a mountain king?" Fang Er instantly became interested, and even Li Jun Xian Ye's face was full of gossip, waiting for Xiao Rui to tell a story.
Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "When I went out to travel, I was only fifteen or sixteen years old. I was young and ignorant, and I just wanted to experience all kinds of things in the world. But when I became a bandit, I realized that I was not the material for this industry."
"Others only look at status and wealth to rob others. They rob wealth and sex, but do not offend the powerful. Those who cannot afford to offend are not robbed."
"But I am different. I don't rob the poor because they have no money. I don't rob the rich because they are not as rich as me. I don't rob the rich because they are kind-hearted, and I don't rob the good people."
ah?
Fang Er said in confusion: "This is not a calamity, and that is not a calamity. Aren't we going to starve?"
Xiao Rui smiled, "No, although I only do business for evil people, the benefits are pretty good, and I was praised by the people for robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Li Junxian also asked: "Let's put it this way, it is profitable and has a good reputation, how can it be boring? Why should it be disbanded?"
Xiao Rui sighed: "Hey... That offended the government and the powerful. I didn't let anyone pass by, including corrupt officials and bullies. Haha, in the end, bandits were suppressed every now and then. It’s not like I know the art of war and always fight guerrillas to preserve my strength, I really can’t defeat these people.”
"It's just that gradually, the bad guys don't dare to leave my vicinity, and I can't bear to do anything to the good guys. Without the support, naturally I won't be able to continue."
"When the business goes bad, we can only disband and find another way to make a living."
Forehead……
Li Junxian was stunned, he never expected it to be like this.
Fang Er's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Xiao is so powerful. This is what a bandit should do. Those who bully the weak and fear the strong and only know how to bully the weak and kind are so shameless. I, Fang Er, don't even bother to fight with him." Be with us!"
Li Junxian covered his eyes. He had no doubt that if the Marquis relaxed his words during this trip to the south, Yiai, a tough guy, would not hesitate to collect a copycat and then become the king of the mountain himself.
"Sir, Tanzhou is only thirty miles away. This is a big city. Should we go eat and stay in a hotel first? Or buy some clothes first?"
Xiao Rui waved his hand, "Let's buy some clothes first, change the carriage, and go to the largest inn in Tanzhou in a swaggering way. Yi Ai, this time my fifth brother and I are here to act as your followers. The fifth brother is a part-time guard and groom. I Playing the role of a book boy, you play the role of a young master.”
"Whether you can attract the attention of the bandits depends entirely on you."
Li Junxian also warned: "That's right, don't mess up the performance. If we get involved and people find out that the three of us are liars, haha, you, the king of the mountain, will lose your dream."
Fang Er patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Brother Xiao, Fifth Brother, although I am not a rich man, I am the prime minister's son after all. I grew up with the dandies in Chang'an City. How difficult is it to play a dandy? No, not at all. There’s no need to act, I’ll just act as I am.”
"Wait a minute, Brother Xiao, there's a problem..." Fang Er suddenly felt weak and said weakly, "I don't have much money with me."
Xiao Rui smiled, "It's simple. There are also people from our Xiao Family Chamber of Commerce in Tanzhou City. After entering the city, they will give you a set of silk and satin, and then give you a set of big gold chains, gold rings, jewelry, etc." Set. Do you want a folding fan?"
"Yes, of course, a folding fan will look elegant. It needs to be painted with gold and have a jade pendant." Fang Er has already rehearsed it in his mind.
"Hey, you know your stuff!"
