Chen Han is the boss of Chenji Trading Company. He is in his forties this year. He is smart and capable and has won the trust of the old man of the Chen family. Transportation is inconvenient these days, and there are many bandits in the barren mountains, so it is not easy for any caravan to go out to do business. For example, Chenji Trading Company went to Zhoucheng to do business this time. In addition to the big shopkeeper Chen Han, there are two shopkeepers. , four guys, more than 20 carters and porters, and seven professional guards.
It was getting late, and the caravan was tired after a day's trek. Chen Han clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. He said: "Everyone, walk two miles further and you will reach Qilipu. There is an inn and hot soup there. There are delicious meat buns and a beautiful boss lady! Let’s rest there tonight, can you guys agree?”
"good!"
Everyone responded enthusiastically, and the guys became very motivated. Just look at the beautiful proprietress, the attraction of hot soup and meat buns is really hard to resist.
Qilipu is located at a traffic hub, with two official roads intersecting here. It is a natural transfer station. If you rest here for one night, you can reach Dali County at the next stop. Some old people in the caravan were walking this way for the first time, and they couldn't help but show off to the new guys. They talked about how beautiful and coquettish the proprietress of Chunlai Inn was, and how their steamed buns had thin skin and big fillings. It's full of juicy fat.
Chen Han laughed and said nothing while listening to the guys' bragging. At this moment, someone from behind the team suddenly screamed. Chen Han's expression changed and he asked hurriedly: "Old Li, what's going on?"
Old Li's name is Li Bo, he is the leader of the guards, he is good at hard work, and his machete is extremely powerful. Li Bo said: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Boss. My junior brother is greeting you from behind. Maybe someone has a sprained foot, and he will come to report it right away."
The caravan consisted of more than a dozen large vehicles and stretched for a hundred meters. The seven guards spread out and greeted one section of the caravan each. Li Bo was at the front of the team, together with Chen Han, and at the end of the team was his junior brother Ma Fei. Because of the scream at the back of the team, the team caused a commotion. Chen Han asked the team to continue moving forward. He and Li Bo were about to go to the back to have a look. At this moment, a frightened horse galloped towards them, causing people to fall on their backs along the way.
Li Bo's face darkened, and he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"
The convoy gave way, and Li Bo stood in the center, facing the galloping horse. His legs were slightly bent and he stretched out his right hand. The horse came to the front and let out a scream. Then Li Bo grabbed his neck and pulled him alive. Fall to the ground!
The force of the frightened horse weighed more than a thousand kilograms, but it could not break away from Li Bo's iron hands. Seeing how powerful Li Bo was, everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly.
After this small episode, the convoy continued to move forward. Li Bo looked proud, but in a blink of an eye he found Chen Han and said worriedly: "Big shopkeeper, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Big shopkeeper, come with me."
Li Bo took Chen Han to the frightened horse, stretched out his hand, and saw that a ghost-headed knife had been stuck on the horse's buttocks. It was bloody and looked very scary. Chen Han was surprised and asked: "This... this is..."
Li Bo nodded and whispered: "I asked, the horse suddenly convulsed, the driver accidentally fell off, that's why it screamed. But no one saw any strangers, this ghost knife... "
"Shh!" Chen Han stopped Li Bo. He looked around and said, "Old Li, just pretend this didn't happen. Let's hurry up and get to Qilipu."
Li Bo frowned. He wanted to persuade Chen Han, but Chen Han looked like he couldn't listen, so he had to swallow the words in his stomach.
The motorcade continued to move forward. Chen Han kept encouraging everyone to speed up, but after a few steps, the team stopped again.
"what happened!"
Chen Han was furious and rushed to the front of the team. He saw several guys and guards gathered in a circle and no one said anything. Chen Han walked over and saw that the branch of a tree stretched into the middle of the road, with a bloody body hanging on it. Bobcat carcass. The bobcat was very big, its skin had been stripped off, and a ghost-headed knife was carved on its body.
"The Ghost Sword is coming, the Ghost Sword is coming, the Ghost Sword is coming!"
With a bang, the convoy was in chaos. Not to mention the guys trembling, even the several professional guards looked pale.
In the shadow of the famous tree, the Qingfeng Mountain bandit gang has been rampant in Yuzhou for decades, robbing homes and killing people. The Sixth Master's Ghost Sword is even more notorious. Once the mark of the Ghost Sword is revealed, who dares to bear it?
People were in confusion, Chen Han stood up and said loudly: "Stop! What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of ghost sword! The Chen family caravan has always been on the same page as Qingfeng Shanjing. Besides, there are rules on the business road. We have paid for the road, so the ghost sword is really Even if someone comes, you must follow the rules. Don’t scare yourself, and hurry up!”
Chen Han was the chief manager of the caravan and he was always dignified. Everyone couldn't help but be suspicious after hearing his words. Chen Han knew that he couldn't let people think wildly at this time, so he had to make them move. Otherwise, once panic spreads, the team would disperse.
"Hurry up, Niu Lao Er, what the hell are you looking at? Hurry up, Zhang Qizai, do you want to go home and get a wife? Your wages this time back home are enough to buy a wife, you What are you waiting for?"
Chen Han beat and scolded him, finally calming people down temporarily, and the motorcade started again. Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Li Bo, who had been guarding him, suddenly raised his machete and said "Hey".
Ding!
The sound of gold and iron was flying, and Li Bo fell off his horse. He groaned and said: "Be careful, big shopkeeper!"
Chen Han turned his head subconsciously and felt a chill in his ears, followed by a heartbreaking pain. He reached out and touched his hand, which was covered with blood.
"Ah, my ears, my ears!" Chen Han screamed.
A ghost-like figure slowly appeared in front of the team and said in a hoarse voice: "I heard that you want to tell me the rules? My rules are the rules."
"Oh my god, it's a ghost sword!"
The guys were trembling, the guards were in danger, and the entire convoy turned into a flock of quails because of the appearance of one person.
The person blocking the front of the team was dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, a veil covering his face, and carrying a ghost-headed sword on his back. He lightly snapped his fingers, and dozens of people came out of the crowd on both sides of the road. , all of them are tough and ferocious in appearance.
"The Ghost Sword of the Sixth Master of Qingfeng Mountain is here!" A strong man said fiercely, "We are here to seek wealth. I will count dozens of you. You'd better disappear as soon as possible, otherwise, you will also keep your life!" "
"One, two..."
Li Bo's face was ugly, and his hand holding the machete was still trembling slightly. That was the result of the move he took from the ghost sword. The gap in strength was so huge that it made people feel desperate.
"Big shopkeeper, let's go, keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood."
Li Bo helped Chen Han up. Chen Han had no ears and was shivering in pain. He also knew that the situation was not good. At this time, it was ridiculous to try to reason with the Qingfeng Mountain bandit gang.
"Go, go!"
Chen Han spoke, and everyone in the convoy immediately fled. Li Bo helped Chen Han to the roadside. Unexpectedly, the hoarse voice suddenly said: "Others can leave, but you can't. You have to pretend to watch my ghost-headed sword after seeing it." No, what do you need these eyes for? If you want to leave, you can leave your eyes."
