Chapter 30 Encounter on the Road

Chen Luo left most of the looted silver bills in Chenjia Village and only took a small portion with him.

With these banknotes as start-up capital, Chenjia Village should not have such a hard time in the future. Chen Luo believed that his uncle, who had worked in the city for many years, could help everyone find a way to use these banknotes safely.

It's not that when the young people grow up, the older generation becomes useless.

At least Chen Luo doesn’t think so.

Uncle San was still as cunning as ever. With him around, the people of Chenjia Village would not be cheated. And with the help of Boss Cai and the people of the Shahu Gang, they were completely relieved.

Rough road.

Chen Luo was drowsy sitting on the ox cart.

After leaving Chenjia Village, he rented an ox cart. Originally, the old farmer refused to rent it, but he gave too much.

The jade book in his arms had been torn apart by him. He had memorized the contents word for word, but he had no idea what they meant. They were all awkward professional terms, and even with the knowledge from the two worlds combined, he still couldn't understand them.

The only benefit was that when he activated the royal brain, the contents of the booklet could give him some feedback, but that was all. He still had no idea how to use it.

The Black Tiger Fist has been trained to its limit, and the improvement it brings now is negligible.

The effect of the prescription began to decline. Chen Luo felt as if he had reached the limit of his training. Even if more than a hundred brains were stacked together, there was no way to achieve anything.

"Boss, boss?"

Chen Luo was woken up from his sleep.

It was the old man driving the cart. He stopped the cart and pushed Chen Luo carefully beside it with a nervous look on his face.

"What's up?"

Chen Luo took a look and saw that it was the old man driving the car.

He made the decision to rent a bullock cart after careful consideration. First, it was convenient and he could comprehend the Jade Book on the way. Second, it was safe and would not attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. After the death of General Fan and his men, many people in Qingya County had their minds on this. According to the information he had gathered over the past three days, there were several forces secretly asking about the mineral deposits, including General Fan's subordinate Zhu Duwei. That guy inherited General Fan's power and was now the real power in Qingya County.

"There is a caravan ahead. Should we go over and follow them? It will be safer this way." The old man asked embarrassedly.

Following the sound, we saw that there was indeed a large caravan ahead. The torches were lit brightly at night, illuminating an entire area.

There were seven or eight armed guards standing guard in front and behind.

The old man is afraid too.

It was true that he was in this business, but he used to travel during the day and rest at night. Because there were too many dangers at night, this time he took Chen Luo's money and had to travel at night as required.

However, the old man is not Chen Luo, and he does not have strong martial arts. Now driving alone in the middle of the night, he always feels unsafe. In the dark woods next to him, it seems that a beast will jump out at any time.

“Will others accept you?”

Chen Luo was somewhat pessimistic.

He didn't care who he went with, as long as they didn't go in the wrong direction. But the key issue was that caravans, under normal circumstances, would not allow strangers to join.

People who travel at night are very cautious. If you go there rashly, you will definitely be expelled, let alone accepted, even if you pay. When walking in the mountains, you need to pay attention to unfamiliar faces, especially those villagers who look honest. Many of them are spies of mountain bandits. If you are soft-hearted and accept these people into the caravan, you will be found by bandits.

"The leader of the guards over there is my eldest nephew."

The old farmer rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

It turned out that I met an acquaintance.

"It's all right. You decide."

Chen Luo waved his hand and continued to close his eyes to recall the contents of the jade book.

The purpose of his trip was simple, it was the mine in Qingya County!

The special ore that could attract the attention of King Ning must be of great value, and it might also help him practice the Jade Book. This method was proposed by "General Fan's Brain". Chen Luo thought it was very reliable, so he adopted it.

After obtaining Chen Luo's consent, the old farmer immediately ran over and prepared to cling to the caravan.

"Who is it?"

"I'm Tian Daniu's fifth uncle. If you don't believe me, ask him." The old farmer raised his hand early. Seeing his expression and the fact that he mentioned the name of an acquaintance, the group of people were not so nervous anymore, but they still remained on guard. As long as the old farmer did anything wrong, they would kill him immediately.

In these desolate mountains and wilderness, it is normal to kill people and dump corpses, and the imperial court will not care.

"Fifth Uncle? Why did you come to Yanziling? Did something happen at home?"

Soon the old farmer's nephew came over. After seeing the old farmer, he asked anxiously, thinking that something had happened at home.

"There's nothing wrong at home. Your fifth uncle just took on some outside work."

The old farmer rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, he had caused trouble for his nephew. If he hadn't made so much money on this trip, he would never have lost face.

"I'm glad you're okay."

Tian Daniu was also relieved. He knew that his uncle often took jobs to make money, so he was not surprised. During the process, he also took a look at Chen Luo who was lying on the ox cart in a daze. After confirming that he was a young man who did not pose any threat, he did not look at him any more. With his eyes that had been in the underworld for many years, he could tell whether he was a bandit at a glance.

"Maybe he is going to visit his relatives," Tian Daniu thought.

Something unexpected happened in Qingya County some time ago, and many people went out to live with their relatives. They have met several groups of people during this period, so they are not surprised.

"Uncle Wu, please wait here. I'll go talk to the boss. Don't worry! I guarantee that the boss will definitely agree to let you follow us." Tian Daniu promised, patting his chest.

It was out in the wilderness, and he was worried about letting his uncle go alone.

"Okay, okay."

The old farmer rubbed his hands, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and asked Tian Daniu to take his brothers to drink.

Seeing Tian Daniu being so sensible, the others also let down their guard and started calling him "Old Tian, ​​Uncle Wu".

It’s good to have someone you know to guarantee you.

Soon the boss of the caravan agreed to Lao Tian's request, but asked them to follow the caravan, not to enter the center, and not to get close to the area where the carriages were in the middle. Tian Daniu naturally agreed.

With a big supporter, I don't have to worry about the rest of the journey, and I can count on making money.

When he thought about the gains from this trip, Lao Tian was overjoyed.

Next to the bonfire.

The caravan boss walked carefully to the front of the carriage and told the noble inside about this matter.

For a caravan like theirs, everything is done according to rules and regulations. If the nobles inside disagree, they will not go against the nobles' opinions to earn a favor.

"Do you need to ask me about the affairs of ants?"

A cold voice came from the carriage, and the words were full of indifference. It was as if everyone except himself was an ant.

The night wind blew, the curtains fluttered, revealing the face of the nobleman inside.

A young man in green clothes, with a stern face and black hair draped over his shoulders, was sitting cross-legged with a sword shining with cold light. If Chen Luo's third uncle, Chen Lao San, was here, he would probably recognize the identity of this young man at a glance. This man was the young master who took money from Eunuch Wei that day, and the mysterious man who killed the royal team.

"It was I who was abrupt."

Seeing that the nobleman had no objection, the caravan boss was relieved. No matter what, Tian Daniu had done a favor, and he couldn't use Cuihualou Xiaohong to threaten him in the future.
