Chapter 61 [(*^▽^*)]
Ming Fanxing went on, "Although there are many precious pearls, corals and so on among the cargo this time, most of them are definitely other seafood that are not very expensive."
He became more and more excited, "After all, the cargo of the caravan departing from Jinzhou City was all purchased in Jinzhou City. No matter whether it is medicinal materials or food and daily necessities, they are all very good and of relatively high value."
Ming Fanxing narrowed his eyes and smiled as he spoke, "In terms of total value, the batch of goods brought back to Jinzhou City is definitely a little short in total value." Qin
Jiuzhou looked at him speechlessly as he talked nonsense in a serious manner.
Ming Yufeng agreed, "That's right..."
If you don't think about it carefully, what Ming Fanxing said is indeed quite right, but in Qin Jiuzhou's opinion, it is not quite right. The corals, pearls and other sea treasures produced in Qixia Town are of great value, especially the best ones. Not to mention in Jinzhou City, even if they are transported to the imperial city, it is said that many princes and nobles are fighting for them.
But Qin Jiuzhou didn't mean that. What he said was that there would be no robbery of the caravan, but they came to attack them, and they were definitely targeting him!
He still hasn't forgotten Jin Jingyun's coveting of his life. This bastard has been thinking about how to kill him and is always looking forward to him leaving Jinzhou City.
Originally, he could cultivate to the martial arts master level in a short time, which was enough to attract the serious attention of some teachers, but there was a rumor that he could advance in a short time by eating the true qi pill.
This made him, who had already been noticed by the teachers, abandoned by them again. Even Teacher Lin, who had been kind to him before and thought he had a strong character and even helped him secretly, looked at him with a slightly different look.
Lin Chenyuan really helped him a lot.
Qin Jiuzhou was really grateful to him, but he couldn't explain it now, because the more he explained, the more guilty he felt. He could only practice faster and seriously, and strive to break through to the realm of martial arts master as soon as possible!
Only in this way can it be proved that he relied entirely on his own ability to practice, and it had nothing to do with other things.
He did this not for his own glory or flattery, but only to become stronger and to make Lin Chenyuan, who had been helping him, not so embarrassed. After all, his secret help had always been secretly criticized by other teachers.
Ming Fanxing carefully observed Qin Jiuzhou. From the beginning, his expression was a little strange. Could it be that what he said just now was wrong and touched his heart?
Or... was it because he had not learned a spell until now?
No, no. He
should have learned the gravity spell... But, apart from the gravity spell, there seemed to be no other skills or spells to practice.
Only... pure leg skills, weapons, or spiritual power release. He can't learn spells like Water Dragon Technique, after all, his spiritual root is dark.
If he wants to learn, he can only learn dark magic, but... Jinzhou Martial Arts School doesn't even have the most basic dark mental method, let alone dark magic!
But... if he guessed correctly, Qin Jiuzhou's jade slip, in addition to the most basic Dark Night Art, should also have some built-in dark magic.
However... although he can learn, it may still be a bit inappropriate to use it, after all, dark magic does not exist in Jinzhou Martial Arts School. If he uses it, it will definitely attract the attention of others.
His current strength is not enough. If it arouses suspicion from others, it may be more than what he gains.
However, the hero shouldn't be so stupid, he should only use those spells that cannot be seen as dark spells, so he doesn't need to worry so much.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously observed Qin Jiuzhou again, especially the area on his chest, where the jade slip passed down from generation to generation in the Qin family was hung.
He retracted his gaze, looked forward, and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
Ming Yufeng's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and then followed Ming Fanxing, leaving Qin Jiuzhou, who was lost in thought, behind.
When Qin Jiuzhou came to his senses, he found that he was alone at the back, while Ming Fanxing and the other two had already come to the front, talking and laughing, chatting about something.
"Great..." They
actually left him behind.
He hurriedly rode forward and joined them.
The journey back to the city was not as safe as they had imagined, but there were no powerful robbers. It was estimated that these scattered robbers had not expected that there were three martial artists among the people escorting the caravan.
These robbers did not even need the three of them to take action, as the martial artists alone could kill them.
Ming Fanxing was still thinking that it had been so long since he left Jinzhou City, and Jin Jingyun should have received the news that all the martial artist robbers he hired before had been killed.
During this time, he should have thought of other ways to teach them a lesson, but...
when they passed by the bandit village, the leader thought they could just go through in broad daylight and did not need to stay there, but he never expected that these villagers would come to block the road and rob in broad daylight.
There is not a single martial artist, not even a warrior!
They are holding wooden sticks and wooden spikes, and some are tied with stones. They look like savages, but they look very fierce.
The leader looked at these robbers, and his mouth twitched. The people from this robber village probably did not stop here when they passed by before, which made them lose an opportunity. This time they planned to strike first.
"What are you doing?" He shouted, "There are countless good players in the caravan, you should retreat quickly, otherwise you will die here!"
This time, he reminded them, and he was kind enough. If these people don't know what's good for them, then don't blame him for being merciless. This is not in the village. After killing them, they can let the villagers come to cheat. Although the weapons in these people's hands are poor, weapons are weapons!
"Don't talk nonsense. Leave your money and we'll let you pass. Otherwise, even though we are no match for you, you still have to save your lives."
"If you don't want to be killed by us, just leave your money. Otherwise, don't blame us for taking action now."
Seeing that they were still stubborn, the leader was so angry that he took several deep breaths. "Forget it. Since they are looking for death, let's satisfy them."
"Go! Be alert. These guys are risking their lives."
As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes. People who risk their lives can be said to be the most terrifying at certain times.
This time, Qin Jiuzhou and the other two did not take action. The leader directly ordered the warriors in the team to kill all the bandits who were blocking the road. Although it took some time, the result was not bad.
Only two people were slightly injured. They were accidentally attacked in the melee. When they were applying medicine, they were laughed at and said that they were weak and inexperienced.
Qin Jiuzhou sighed, "It seems that the people in this robber village can no longer make a living, otherwise, they would not come out to rob in broad daylight."
Ming Fanxing narrowed his eyes, "Since they can't make a living here and don't trust the new officials here, why don't they move to another place? Like the beach... just go to the sea and catch some fish and shrimp to fill your stomach."
Qin Jiuzhou blinked, "Huh?"
Ming Fanxing was also stunned for a moment, looking at him, "What's wrong?"
Qin Jiuzhou, "Don't you know?"
Ming Fanxing was puzzled, "Know what? Wasn't what I said just now right?"
Qin Jiuzhou, "If a village wants to relocate, it must go to the town to which it belongs to apply, Only if the application is approved can you relocate, otherwise you will be caught and brought back. "
Ming Fanxing was puzzled, "You can't just leave your own village?"
Qin Jiuzhou shook his head, "That's not what I mean. It's fine if a few people want to leave, but this village must not disappear."
Ming Fanxing was even more puzzled, "If the villagers can't survive and they all starve to death, won't they disappear?"
Qin Jiuzhou, "So... the town will regularly distribute some supplies to some villages that really can't survive to ensure that the village will not disappear. It can't take care of everyone, and it's impossible to feed them all. It's just to maintain the existence of the village. This is also a bandit village, you don't have to think too much."
"Don't they farm for these supplies? If they farm, they will lose these free supplies. If there are not enough to share, they have to take the risk to rob? They don't feel
anything even if so many people die?" Qin Jiuzhou, "There are not enough supplies, so they go out to rob. This is also an alternative way to have the best of both worlds. If they fail, some people will die. With fewer people, there will be less food, and the consumption of supplies will be less. If they succeed, they can consume some people while gaining some better supplies or money."
Ming Fanxing didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, "Hey... let's go."
The corpses around were quickly cleared away by everyone, and the caravan was able to move forward. This time nothing unexpected happened. After walking a little further, they saw the familiar dilapidated village covered with weeds.
There were fewer people in the village. A few people were watching the caravan and found that the villagers who had not returned had become more and more lifeless.
They also knew that everyone was dead and nothing was brought back.
The caravan slowly went away and disappeared in the distance. When the wind blew, the raised yellow sand covered the last trace of shadow and then disappeared.
The next few days were very peaceful.
The three of them followed the caravan during the day, and in the evening they kept sparring with each other to improve their boxing and kicking skills.
Although Ming Fanxing said that the Water Dragon Technique could restrain Qin Jiuzhou, he was really no match for Qin Jiuzhou in terms of pure physical skills!
Even though they were only one year apart in age.
Ming Yufeng was even worse off. After all, Ming Fanxing had learned martial arts before going to Jinzhou Martial Arts School, but Ming Yufeng had no experience before that.
Seeing Ming Yufeng being abused, Ming Fanxing did not feel distressed at all. Instead, he was happy to see it happen. He encouraged him with a smile, "It's okay. Suffer a little more now, so that you can bleed less when you encounter a real crisis in the future."
Ming Yufeng leaned against him, and the two of them stood back to back. Under the setting sun, their shadows seemed to merge together.
"I know..."
Looking at his trembling hands, he smiled slightly. He never complained, but only felt lucky.
