Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Chapter 45

Li Xu ordered, "Let everyone hide their weapons, change into ordinary clothes, find a nearby village to settle down, and then get a dozen or so carriages, fill them with stones, cover them with tarpaulins, and say they were brought from the north. furs and herbs."

Ye Changqing said in embarrassment: "This carriage will not be able to get so many in a short time."

"Go to the county government to ask for it. Jia Ping should have ordered it down. One day is enough for them to prepare." Li Xu asked for the dozen or so carriages for himself. Now that they have found them, they should be on their way. There is no carriage. How to do it.

Ye Changqing grinned, "Your Highness still has a vision."

Li Xu took people to settle in the nearest village, a dozen tall and strong attendants, and brought a lovely daughter. He said that he was a merchant from north to south, and he stopped here for a rest, and gave it to the lodger. A piece of silver was used as a reward, but the family was very happy.

When it was almost dark, dozens of health servants drove the convoy to meet Li Xu. Every carriage was full, and the wheels made deep ruts on the dirt road.

When entering the village, the leading carriage accidentally bumped into a rock, and a wooden box fell from the carriage. As soon as the wooden box fell to the ground, the fur inside was full of various colors rolled out, which made the villagers envious.

They live by the river and live by fishing all the year round. They used to be able to go hunting in the mountains, but now the mountains are occupied by bandits, so they dare not go there. If they want better furs, they have to spend money to buy them. People can't afford such a good leather.

Li Xu rented houses from several other families for his servants to live in, and each family gave a large amount of gold and silver as compensation, which made other families envious, and word spread immediately.

The villagers hope that Li Xu can stay in the village for a few more days, but he spread the word that he will take a day off tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. If anyone wants furs or medicinal materials, he can sell them to the villagers at a cheaper price. Good fate.

Fur is something that most people can't afford. Although medicinal materials are expensive, people always get sick, so it's better to store them at home.

So they actually made a few deals for Li Xu. Although they were all common medicinal materials, they were also Li Xu's first business after his rebirth.

The gangsters on the mountain got the news very quickly. They had just made a big fortune and robbed a group of wealthy merchants. The wealthy merchants also went from north to south and bought two boatloads of wool and a whole boatload of live sheep. Cattle and sheep.

Those wool bandits don't know what to do with them, but cattle and sheep are good things, enough for them to eat meat every day until the New Year. Of course, they are not so extravagant. What to buy what to buy.

The bandit leader was gnawing on the roast leg of lamb, and when he heard the younger brother say that another rich businessman passed by at the foot of the mountain, bringing more than a dozen carts of fur medicinal materials, his mouth was so happy that he said, "This year is really prosperous, after finishing this Tickets, we can live without worrying about food and clothing for several years."

"Brother, I heard that there are dozens of health servants in the caravan, and each of them is equipped with a knife." You know, in this era, ironware is strictly controlled, and it is not easy to buy a knife.

"Hey, there are only a few dozen people, so I'm afraid of being a dick. If you give them drugs, don't you just let us slaughter them! When you tie them up, you just hand over those knives to us as weapons."

"What elder brother said is true, but they live in several families, so it's not easy to take this medicine."

"Stupid, are there any villagers at the bottom of the mountain that we don't know? Call them out secretly, and ask them to put a little while cooking and boiling water, without anyone noticing, hehe."

"Big brother is smarter." The younger brother flattered, and walked away happily.

The bandit leader finished eating the leg of lamb, drank half a bottle of wine, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me down the mountain to catch the fat sheep!"

"Ho Ho..." Everyone yelled excitedly, and the sound came to the dungeon in the back mountain, startling the people trapped here.

Liu Shu and Commander Lin were locked in an iron cage, and they were like frosted eggplants, not as lively and agile as before. When he heard the movement in front of him, he cursed angrily: "These bastards, young master, go out!" In the end, we must chop them up." As he spoke, he cried again, "Miss... was taken away by them, and I don't know if it's dead or alive. How can I explain to my master when I go back, huh... The servant might as well die."

Lin Zhao had to listen to such words several times a day, and he was already indifferent. He moved his hands and feet secretly, and found that he was not as weak as he was a few days ago, knowing that the effects of the medicine had finally passed.

I don't know what kind of medicine these bandits gave them, the medicine is amazing.

He had already observed that there were only a dozen people guarding the dungeon, and they took turns every four hours. The key was kept by the leader. They were unarmed, and they had to find a way to get the key if they wanted to break through the door.

But they had no chance to contact the person holding the key, which made it difficult.

The wealthy businessman who was locked up next door leaned against the fence and confessed: "Little brother, I'm really sorry, it was Lei who harmed you. If you hadn't traveled with me, you wouldn't have been arrested."

Liu Shu is also very regretful, but what's the use of saying this now, can he still blame the people who helped them?That's too heartless.

After another night, in the early morning of the next day, the bandit leader sneaked into the fishing village with his men, guarding far behind the hillside outside the village, using weeds to cover up his whereabouts, they were waiting, and when Li Xu and the others woke up, they used medicine Tea can catch them all in one go, and even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, they will definitely not escape their grasp.

Just like that until dawn, the sun was just rising, and the sky was bright. Seeing that there was no movement in those yards, the bandit leader cursed: "Fuck, these people sleep well."

The little brother next to him volunteered: "Brother, let me go and have a look, don't let the fat sheep get away."

Another younger brother retorted unwillingly: "Why are you running? I saw them fall asleep with my own eyes last night. Those families have also explained clearly. How could they be allowed to run away?"

"Okay, don't make noise, wait for another half an hour, if there is still no movement, it will not be too late."

While they waited hard, Li Xu had already climbed up the mountain with his men. They set off in the middle of the night, tied up the villagers from those households, and then sneaked out through the back door. They even met the bandits who went down the mountain on the way They passed each other, but fortunately, the night was dark and the other party didn't notice them at all.

When approaching the top of the mountain, Li Xu tested the wind direction and asked someone to open up a isolation zone at the selected location, and then set fire to the chopped bushes and branches.

The damp branches were not easy to ignite, but the smoke was billowing, and it was quickly blown up to the top of the mountain by the wind.

Because the boss led his people down the mountain, the bandits who stayed behind did not dare to sleep, and they were all guarded everywhere. As soon as the thick smoke floated up, they were discovered by the guards.

"Where did the smoke come from? Boss, they won't burn down the village, right?" Although they often do this kind of thing, they generally don't kill the villages that are close to their old nests. They inquired about the news, why bother to kill them all.

"Look, the smoke is coming up from the mountainside."

"What's going on, is the forest on fire? It shouldn't be, I didn't hear thunder."

"The smoke is so big, it must be on fire, why don't you go and have a look?" Someone suggested.

Everyone was discussing and couldn't make up their minds for a while. The smoke was weird, but they couldn't feel at ease if they didn't go to see it. They can only stare at the top of the mountain, they can't climb down the cliffs of the back mountain.

In the end, they decided that half of the people would go down to check. If there was a fire, they would organize people to put out the fire. Once the forest fire started, it was no joke.

The Habayashi army hiding on the branches saw the people coming down from the mountain, and imitated the sound of birds and gave a signal to remind their companions to get ready.

There were only [-] bandits who went down the mountain, and they were quickly subdued by the Habayashi Army without making a sound.

He Zun looked at the bandit whose hands and feet were bound and gagged, and sneered. He waved the big knife in his hand a few times, and several heads flew out. Blood spurted out, staining the fallen leaves on the ground red.

His actions were fast and ruthless, not only frightened the rest of the gangsters, but also stunned the Habayashi soldiers. They thought to themselves: This man not only looks like a ghost, but also has such a vicious temper. He must never offend him in the future.

"If you don't want to die, just be honest?" He Zun cut off a piece of the deceased's clothes to wipe the sword, and said coldly, "If anyone can take us up the mountain, I will spare his life."

Most of the people who can turn grass into bandits are not tough guys. The gangsters who were frightened by the scene just kowtowed their heads and begged for mercy, but they couldn't make a sound with the cloth strips in their mouths.

He Zun picked the one he liked, and took off his cloth strip, "Give you a chance to live, shall we?"

That gangster was rarely tempered, "Bah, well thought out, when our boss comes back, he will kill you!"

"Tsk." He Zun didn't even bother to persuade him, and directly chopped the man in half. The scene was bloody and disgusting, which made the Yulin soldiers take a few steps back.

He chose another gangster and asked the same question. The man peed in fright and nodded tremblingly: "Okay...okay, don't kill me, I'll take you there."

The remaining gangsters struggled one after another, fearing that they would be useless and become He Zun's ghosts.

He Zun was not stupid, so he asked people to tie the rest of them to a tree, and patted the bandit leading the way with the back of his knife, "If you dare to play tricks, you will end up worse than those people just now, think carefully before leading the way."

"Master, master, the villain must not dare to play tricks, don't worry."

Li Xu walked behind with the little princess in his arms, and when passing by those corpses, he covered the little princess' eyes and said, "Bury these, dig a bigger hole, so as not to have to dig again later."

The gangster who was tied to the tree was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, tears and feces flowed together.

Old Gong: "Such bloody violence will stain my daughter-in-law's eyes."

Li Xu: "I like this."

Old Gong: "Hey, student He Zun is still too gentle. We should goug out their eyes, cut off their noses, cut off their limbs...!"
