The last day of the gladiatorial contest was the Beast King Contest. In the previous two days of competition, the dual swordsman Hekru won the title of this year's gladiatorial contest with three victories. While winning glory for the Duncan family, he also won freedom and wealth for himself - he has now become a citizen, and although he is still dependent on the Duncan family, he also owns his own house and servants.

Wu Lai told Bailey the news on the carriage on the way back to Saltmarsh Town. Bailey was silent for a while, then a smile appeared on his face: "Master, Haiklu is a good guy."

"I know, but you are better than him." Wu Lai said, "By the time we return to Salt Marsh Town, your wound will be almost healed. Just lie down and rest for the next few days."

"Okay, sir." Bailey nodded.

Outside the car window, Plancy, who preferred riding a horse to riding in a car, was humming a little tune happily. He was so happy in his heart - he didn't expect that his resignation and going to Salt Marsh Town would be so smooth. Wei Huo even paid out of his own pocket to give him 50,000 gold coins, saying that it would help him to look good.

The basis of war is soldiers and supplies, or in other words, money. With money, Plancy will naturally be more confident. This is the true nature of a warmonger.

Wu Lai naturally understood why the Duncan family would so readily agree to let Plancy go to Saltmarsh Town, because the control of a city is often reflected in who holds the military power. Wu Lai also believed that even if there was no Plancy now, the Duncan family would send him someone with military power in the near future, just like the current Lunvington. George's status is indeed prominent, but he has no choice but to obey the Duncan family.

Plansy didn't have so many thoughts. For him, there was only one purpose for going to Salt Marsh Town, which was to fight. However, he didn't quite understand why Wu Lai was so low-key. If it were him, he would definitely bring a lot of cars and people, eat, drink and have fun all the way back to Salt Marsh Town. Why would he be like this now -

Wu Lai only brought two carriages that looked very ordinary. He and Bailey rode in one, and in the back carriage were Iles and Mengbao. After getting along for several days, Mengbao and Iles became familiar with each other. Not only did he no longer scare Iles, but he would occasionally accept Iles taking care of his fur. Of course, Mengbao actually wanted to ride with Wu Lai, but Wu Lai did not agree.

As Wu Lei requested, Plancy only brought two ordinary carriages. One was loaded with valuables and food and wine for the journey, and the other was filled with his two maids and Manji and Banu, whom he had given to Wu Lei before. In addition, Plancy also brought two slave guards, but this time they were riding horses like their masters, following behind the carriages on guard.

At first glance, Woolley and his party looked like ordinary small noble merchants.

Therefore, Plansy felt that this was not very exciting. He thought that except for Lunvington, the rest of the country was basically rural. Wouldn't it be more refreshing to show off a bit? Soon Plansy could not even enjoy the joy of riding - it started to rain on the second day of the trip, and the drizzle did not stop for several days. It was not until they were almost a day's journey past Lunvington that it began to subside.

Plancy stuck his head out to look at the sky, and seeing that the raindrops were so sparse that they were almost non-existent, he jumped off the car and took the horse brought by a slave guard. Without caring whether the water droplets on the saddle had been wiped clean, he stepped on the stirrup and jumped on the horse to catch up with Wu Lai's car in front.

When Plancy caught up with Woolley, Woolley was listening to Bailey talking about the customs and people of Mondovoye. When he heard Plancy's loud call, he opened the car window a little.

"Lord Wu Lai, why don't you get off the carriage and ride your horse too? Let's have a competition, how about that?" Plancy said with a smile. Even though he sounds like a coward because he has three major hobbies, he is actually not the case. Take riding skills for example, Plancy is really the best in the First Legion.

"Maybe next time. There's no shortage of places for horse racing in Saltmarsh Town." Wu Lai was listening to what Bailey was saying and was not willing to get off the car.

Plansy didn't force it. He laughed and said, "Lord Wu Lai, Baiguo Town is not far ahead. I've heard that there is a vast white fruit forest to the south of Baiguo Town. It is said that there are several thousand-year-old white fruit trees. I'll go take a look. How about we meet at the Baiguo Tavern later?"

Wu Lai also knew that this active guy had been feeling pent up these days, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead."

"Okay." Plancy laughed again and waved to the two slave guards who followed him, "Let's go."

"Alas, some warmongers still have a childish heart." Wu Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After walking for a while, we arrived at Baiguo Town. It can be said that Baiguo Town has benefited a lot from Yanmarsh Town during this period. As Yanmarsh Town is becoming more and more prosperous, there are many more merchants and travelers coming and going in Yanmarsh Town than before. Baiguo Town is also located near the intersection of horse trails, so the business of various taverns and hotels has also improved a lot.

As the largest tavern in the town, the White Fruit Tavern naturally benefited the most. However, Sokpuo was not very happy. For him, who was both the governor of White Fruit Town and the leader of the Grey Wolf Bandit Gang, the losses caused by Wu Lai's tough style could not be compensated by the prosperous tavern business.

You know, ever since Yanhuan Town gained prestige and momentum, small bandit groups basically dared not harass the merchants going to that area, because Wu Lai had his men set up warning signs along the way, one every ten miles or so, with two lines of big characters written on them: "Anyone who offends the merchants traveling to and from Yanhuan Town will be punished, no matter how far away they are."

However, no matter how unhappy Sokpuo was, he had to endure it, after all, he was a two-faced man. But his younger brother named Kaidipuo couldn't help it, because although Sokpuo was the big boss, he rarely participated in direct management. It was he, the second boss, who was the real boss for more than a thousand brothers.

Bandits are naturally plundering by nature. Even if they are not like this at the beginning, they will develop banditry over time. Birds of a feather flock together.

After the Fox Wolf Bandit Gang, whose overall combat power was comparable to that of the Grey Wolf Bandit Gang, was wiped out by Wu Lai, Kadip'ao was ambitious and ready to do something big, but unexpectedly, Sokpu'ao warned him not to act rashly.

Kadip'o then asked his brother Sokpu'o, what does it mean that you cannot act rashly?

Sokpu'ao gave the answer - don't act rashly, which means don't provoke Salt Marsh Town.

In Sokpu'ao's opinion, if the Grey Wolf Bandits did not provoke the merchants from Salt Marsh Town, their lives would naturally be much more difficult, but at least they would be safe, because Wu Lai could not afford to provoke them and it was not advisable to provoke them.

However, Kadipiao did not think so, because the Grey Wolf Bandit Gang never had the habit of mobilizing all its members like the Fox Wolf Bandit Gang. Instead, it divided more than a thousand people into dozens of small teams, and used the small teams as units to carry out looting and harassment. As the second leader, he only needed to provide intelligence and assign looting work, and then collect the "quota profit" handed in by these teams on time every month.

But now that he was restricted by Sokpuo, Kaidipuo, who had been doing well for many years, was immediately overwhelmed - raising bandits was just like raising soldiers. In the past, those teams could rob at will and had no shortage of food, drink or clothing. But once the financial route from Baiguo Town to Yanzhao Town was cut off, every team immediately became tight on money, and when they were tight on money, they naturally became resentful. Those who had stocks or not all started to ask Kaidipuo for food and wages.

As time went by, even Kadipao had a lot of complaints, but he didn't dare to vent them on his brother. He could only vent his anger with alcohol during the day and relieve his worries with women at night.

After the carriage stopped in front of the White Fruit Tavern, Wu Lai got off. If he had a choice, he really didn't like going into this busy place with so many people coming and going. However, he had made an appointment with Plancy to wait here, so it would not be a good idea to go anywhere else.

After Iris and Manji got off the car, Plansy's two maids also got off. Without Plansy, they could only follow Wu Lai. Bailey did not get off the car. Wu Lai had just changed his medicine and was lying in the car to rest. Meng Bao did not get off the car either. It was not that he did not want to get off, but Wu Lai did not let him. Meng Bao had developed a wild nature and could not stand other animals. Once he saw them, he would chase and kill them. He had caused several troubles along the way.

When Wu Lai led the sisters Iris, Manji and two maids of Plancy into the tavern, Cadipao was drinking alone. He looked up and saw the beautiful Iris walking in, followed by a pair of pretty girls, and even two beautiful young girls behind them. His heart was moved...

Naturally, Kadipao was not the only one who was in love, but when others were still secretly guessing the identities of Wu Lai and his party, Kadipao had already stood up staggeringly with a bottle of wine. What's more, although he was a little tipsy, Kadipao instantly "saw through" Wu Lai's identity - a businessman, and a commoner businessman at that.

Kadip'o's judgment was well-founded, because Wulai did not hang a citizen plate on his belt. However, Kadip'o's judgment went beyond that. He felt that Wulai should be a businessman who kept women for the flesh trade - which was also a respectable business in Assyria.

Wu Lai chose an empty table. Before he could invite all the beauties to sit down, Kadipoao had already squeezed beside him with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, are you going to Salt Marsh Town?"

Woolley glanced at Kadipoao and nodded.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"These..." Kadipao drew a circle with his hand towards Iles and the others, "They are all yours."

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Wu Lai frowned. Kadipiao reeked of alcohol, which was quite unpleasant.

"Here." Kadipao nodded at Iris, then pointed at the Manji sisters, "And these two, let them accompany me, you name the price."

"What did you say?!" Wu Lai glared and stretched out his hand to grab Kadipao's collar. Although Iress was of humble origin, she was gentle and considerate and was very much loved by Wu Lai. Normally, he was reluctant to let her show up in public when entertaining guests. Now that Kadipao was swearing, how could Wu Lai tolerate it?

"Oh, you are a flesh trader, and you dare to act arrogantly in the White Fruit Tavern?" Kadipao laughed instead of getting angry, "Are you itching for trouble? Or do you think your life is too long?"

"You should ask yourself." Wu Lai finished speaking word by word, and with his right hand he moved, and his fingers gripped Kadipao's neck and exerted force. Kadipao suddenly found it extremely difficult to breathe, and he hurriedly tried to pull Wu Lai's hands away, but Wu Lai had no intention of killing him. With a shake of his hand and a push, he forked this guy back several steps, knocking over a wine table with a bang, and scattering the bottles, cups, knives and forks on the table all over the floor.

At this point, Kadipao couldn't hold back his pride anymore. He was still struggling on the ground and was already shouting, "Catch this guy quickly!"

Are there any accomplices? As soon as Wu Lai frowned, he heard the sound of wind behind him. He knew that someone was attacking him. He immediately turned sideways and kicked the attacker in the abdomen. He kicked the attacker five or six steps away. But before he could pull his leg back, the sound of wind came again. After two muffled "bangs" sounded in succession, Wu Lai's right thigh and right shoulder were hit hard. His center of gravity tilted and he fell down immediately.

Oh my god, it turned out to be the tavern owner. Although he was caught off guard, Wu Lai was able to see the clothes of the attacker while rolling and dodging. It was clearly the bartender in this tavern.

As soon as the noise was heard, the tavern suddenly became noisy, and those who were watching the fun, making a fuss, and trying to avoid it were all in chaos. Plancy's two maids hurriedly looked for a place to hide, while the two sisters Manji stood there in a daze. Elise rushed straight to Wu Lai, trying to use her body to block the stick for him.

It would have been fine if she hadn't pounced on him. With Wu Lai's skills, even if his leg injury hindered his reaction for a while, he was still more than enough to deal with these two. Iles pounced on him and protected Wu Lai. In desperation, Wu Lai had to push Iles away first. As a result, he was hit by two heavy sticks on his back and almost died.

After lunging forward and kicking up a chair to block the pursuit of the two bartenders, Wu Lai waved his hand fiercely at Iris who fell to the side: "Go!"

Elise was startled. The two bartenders had already swung their sticks to pick up the flying chair, and changed from smashing to stabbing, and hit Wu Lai hard with the heads of the sticks.

"Beat him to death! Beat him to death!" Kadeepao had already stood up, and while roaring, he grabbed the bottles and sundries on the table beside him and threw them at Wu Lai. At the same time, the accountant who was still keeping accounts behind the counter ran to the backyard of the tavern. The second boss was being bullied, so naturally he had to call as many people as he could.

The boy deserves his bad luck. The accountant was secretly gloating as he ran, because there were more than 40 bandits disguised as civilians in the backyard - they came to Baiguo Town to transport grain back to the mountains.

"Master, be careful!" The two sisters Manji finally came to their senses. Although they were small and weak, they were brave. Seeing that Kadipao was grabbing something to throw at Wu Lai, they quickly grabbed the dishes from the next table and hit him back. In a few moves, Kadipao was in a mess...

“Oh my god!” Wu Lai seized the opportunity to knock down a bartender and just as he gave the bartender a fierce elbow, he was hit on the left waist with a stick. His anger rose again. He grabbed the end of the stick that had not been withdrawn yet, twisted it and successfully grabbed it. He dodged a blow from Kadipiao, raised the stick and blocked the stick thrown by the fourth bartender...

"Cute baby! Cute baby!" Iris shouted quickly...
