Chapter 92 This is really heartbreaking
Bai Li comforted herself. Just as they were about to reach the Simon border and enter the territory of Great Zhou, the caravan encountered a Laotian merchant caravan that had set out a day earlier than them.
Blackbeard was limping in one leg, and his men were lying on the ground with broken arms and legs.
Looking again at the snow, there were bloodstains everywhere. The carriage and horses were gone, and there were only tracks leading into the distance.
Apparently, they were robbed too.
"Brother Hei, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Li stopped the carriage and walked forward to ask in surprise.
"Miss Yu, it's a good thing you separated from us, otherwise..."
Blackbeard was sweating profusely from the pain. When he saw someone coming, he thought he was saved and his eyes lit up, but when he saw it was Bai Li, the light in his eyes dimmed again.
She is just a little girl, and her teammates are also injured or disabled. What can I do to help them if I meet them?
Encountering robbers will only result in a few more corpses!
Bai Li was stung by the contempt in Blackbeard's eyes. She pursed her lips and complained in her heart: Who is he looking down on? If she were with them, it would be the robbers who fell down now.
Blackbeard had protected her for a while, so she would not just stand by and watch him die.
Although they are not good people, she must repay the favors they owe her.
"Let me bandage you first,"
Bai Li asked her people to get out of the car to help. Fortunately, she had some emergency gauze and hemostatic powder in her car. Luo Yang and the others were familiar with bandaging these external injuries, and they bandaged Black Beard and the others in no time.
While bandaging her, Blackbeard told her about their encounter with robbers.
"...They're too powerful. We're all skilled fighters, but we were defeated in one blow. They don't seem like ordinary robbers, but more like..."
Bai Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Like what?"
"Like a soldier!"
“Boss, do you still care about Simon’s face at this time?
If they hadn't heard the carriage, they would have killed us all!"
His subordinate held his broken arm and said angrily, fortunately Miss Yu's powder could stop the bleeding, otherwise he would have died from losing blood!
Simon dogs are so abominable that they actually come out to rob merchants. No one will dare to do business with them in Simon from now on. Let them eat grass!
"well!"
Blackbeard moved his mouth a few times, trying to say something for Simon, but no words came out.
"Simon wasn't like this before. At least I didn't hear about this until half a year ago."
"I think that was the work of that King Jin. This is all his territory!"
"When I was at the post station, I heard a merchant say that this kind of thing had happened several times before. The person he knew didn't come back, and the road he passed by was only covered in blood but no sign of the person or the goods.
Unfortunately, it's all speculation with no evidence, because the bodies were all buried, and none of the victims were left alive!"
"He cut off trade between the two countries. What did he want?"
"He robbed merchants of their property to arm his own army. With the silver, he could go directly to the Great Zhou to buy grain. The interruption of trade between the two countries would have no effect on him at all!"
"This is really terrible. I won't come to Simon again even if I have nothing to eat or drink!"
"Alright, let's be careful with our mouths. We need to get out of here as soon as possible in case they come back and kill us!"
Blackbeard's words reminded everyone, and thinking of the brutality of those robbers, his men immediately stood up and staggered to leave.
Bai Li saw that they couldn't get anywhere without a carriage, so he had to give them a carriage.
There were ten people in their group, four died, two were seriously injured, and four had broken arms and legs. None of them was intact.
All six people were arranged in a carriage, driven by Blackbeard, who only had an injured leg.
Let him take care of his people, Bai Li didn't want to worry about it.
Bai Li agreed to escort them to the Laotian border. Blackbeard was very grateful and expressed his gratitude to him.
The team hurried and finally found a place to spend the night before dark.
This time they did not go into the post station, but just found an inn to stay in.
This is a small border town in Simon. Beyond this is the territory of the Great Zhou.
When they went to Simon, Nanny Wu took them to stay in a hotel here, so Bai Li found the place easily because she was familiar with the place.
The inn only has a few rooms. The owner divided his own house into two parts. One side is for people to live in, and the other side is for passers-by to stay and do some small business.
At night, when everyone was warming themselves around the charcoal fire in the room, Blackbeard looked at the large flakes of snow falling outside, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"This heavy snow is never going to stop!"
"Fortunately, there is no snowstorm in our Great Zhou."
In Da Zhou, only Qianxi and Qiannan, two places sandwiched between Laos and Ximen, had snow, and it was light snow. Other places were slightly cold, but the weather warmed up in spring, which did not affect the growth of crops at all.
Compared to Laos, which has to hibernate for more than half a year, Bai Li's words are really heartbreaking. There is no point in chatting today.
But Blackbeard was still very grateful to her. Not only did she save them, but she also lent him a carriage and money. Otherwise, they would have starved to death or frozen to death.
"Your Great Zhou is indeed a good place, rich in rice, corn, wheat and other grains. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people coveting it..."
"Dahei, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Blackbeard glared and interrupted his brother. He said in front of others that he coveted their food. The faces of the people from the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately darkened, and they were about to draw their swords. Was he crazy?!
He was truly a guy who went out without a brain. He even suspected that the failure of this trip was due to him being brought along.
Dahei realized belatedly that the hostile eyes around him were all on him. He shrank his neck and stopped muttering.
Someone just saved them, and now they turn around and covet their food. It seems a bit unkind.
Bai Li glanced coldly at Blackbeard, who suddenly felt a surge of pressure. The immense pressure made him unable to lift his head.
This little girl has such a strong aura!
He had noticed her extraordinaryness before, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful!
Blackbeard was so angry that he almost died. That idiot wanted to kill him.
Thinking that the idiot was his after all, he couldn't get away from it, so he could only laugh and explain.
"This kid is dumb and can't speak. What he means is that there is enough food in the Great Zhou, and anyone who wants it will pay for it."
"Haha, yes, if you want something, you have to pay a price. Don't always think about snatching and getting something for nothing!"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
"Do you know why our small country, the Great Zhou, has been able to stand for hundreds of years without falling?"
Everyone knows that the small Great Zhou Kingdom is a delicious bun, and everyone wants to take a bite of it, but whoever takes the first step will inevitably be attacked by everyone. This is why the Great Zhou Kingdom can still exist independently.
Blackbeard thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
