He just won't ask, doesn't that make you angry? It'll drive you crazy!
"Hey, this kid..."
Han Feiyu's answer was all in his eyes. In the end, Old Man Han just slapped his thigh and remained silent.
It has to be said that the two are quite similar in this respect.
Meanwhile, on a hilltop more than five miles away from the caravan, a man put down his binoculars and ran quickly into the depths of the forest.
Graywood Mountain, Tiger Head Village.
"Second brother, third brother, eat more. The more we eat, the better we can practice martial arts, and the more people will take us seriously."
Our stronghold has already gathered a hundred brothers. Let's keep working hard and make our business bigger and stronger.
At a square table, three burly men were feasting on large amounts of fish and meat in front of them; these were the three leaders of Tiger Head Village.
The one who just spoke was the leader, Liu Hu.
"What my brother said is true. The weather is getting colder lately, and the groups coming and going on the road are definitely carrying a batch of hot-selling goods."
I have already spoken with the brothers below and told them to be more careful, as there are also our outposts in the villages along the way.
"If we pull off a few big heists before it snows, we'll have everything. Those soldiers won't come up the mountain in this freezing weather."
As he spoke, Zhang Neng, the second-in-command, casually chewed up a chicken leg, meat and bone together.
"But we still need to be careful. Some teams are formidable and we can't afford to mess with them. We need to act within our capabilities."
He Liang, the third leader, was considered half a strategist for the stronghold. It was he who persuaded his two brothers to join him as bandits.
They are skilled, but practicing martial arts is too expensive. It's much faster to just rob someone than to honestly guard the homes of the rich.
"Report! Good news, three leaders! Wang Houzi has spotted a troop approaching us."
Judging by their size, they don't seem like any formidable opponents. Should we go and take them out?
A henchman's intrusion interrupted their conversation, but the news he brought put the three leaders in a good mood.
"Oh? You're lucky. We were just talking about pulling off a heist, and a kind person has already come over so quickly?"
Alright, alright. As long as they cooperate a little and hand over the money to buy their lives, I, Liu Laohu, might be willing to let them go.
"Let's go, call all the brothers. Whether we can eat like this for a few months depends on today."
A group of about a hundred people, armed with weapons, continued to advance towards the caravan.
On the other side, the caravan was still on its way.
They wouldn't just find a place to rest anywhere. The cart was carrying a batch of spices and silk, all of good quality. The faster they delivered it, the better the price would be.
"Mr. Li, we shouldn't encounter any bandits on this road, right?"
A man who was hitchhiking held a child whose face was flushed and asked in a low voice.
His son suddenly fell ill, and the local doctors couldn't cure him, so they had to try their luck at the one next door.
"What's there to be afraid of? We've traveled this road countless times. The Chamber of Commerce has already made arrangements with those big mountain strongholds. As for the smaller ones? Whether they even dare to come is a question."
They are a large merchant guild operating under their own banner, the Feiyun Merchant Guild, unlike ordinary traveling merchants.
"call out……"
Mr. Li had been making such a confident statement, but no sooner had he finished speaking than an arrow shot towards the horse he was riding.
"Whoosh..."
A flash of silver light, and a steel blade cut the arrow in two. It was the guards who had intervened, preventing Mr. Li from being injured.
But things wouldn't end there. Following the attack, dozens of people stood in front and behind the group, while archers lurked in the shadows on both sides.
"Damn it... what is this? Aren't these local bandits being a bit too unruly?"
