Twelve years ago, if the Luo family's motorcade had put on such a big show when traveling, made it so high-profile, and so ostentatious, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were important figures in the Luo family, then what would happen? There is only one explanation: to show off, to show off, not to protect one's own safety.
¡°You¡¯re kidding, how many forces in Yinzhou, or even in the entire Western Capital Region, dare to deal with the behemoth of the Luo family? The Luo family is not only a millennium-old giant snake that is extremely powerful, but also one of the most wealthy and powerful families in the country. No matter where it is placed, it is a real "dragon crossing the river", able to suppress the princes at the end of the Luo family. No matter how you calculate the number of nobles or local forces, they are only thirty or forty.
In fact, this is just a rather "modest" way of saying it. It conservatively includes all the princes and princes. The Luo family has never considered themselves to be ranked above the "lords". However, if we really want to talk about it, the Luo family, which owns the top-quality Taoist weapon "Tai Xuan Taoist Robe" and the "Little Blessed Land" Ziling Mountains, as well as a "Medieval Mountain Protection Formation", can at least rank among the top ten in the country in terms of overall strength. The five of them, if coupled with the strong rise of Fu Qi Ji and the power of the female goddess of wealth in the Western Capital Region in recent years, are said to be ranked in the "top ten", I am afraid that not many powerful families dare to categorically say "impossible" "These three words.
With the rise of Fuqiji and the prosperity of Xuanqi Trading Company, in fact, this is the prosperity of the Luo family, at least, in the eyes of outsiders, this is the impression, just like the luxury and extravagance of the Luofu fleet at this moment, inside and outside , all of which show the strength of the Luo family, the wealth of Fuqiji, the amazing power of Xuanqi Trading Company, and the powerful status of mother and son Li Yuanyan and Luo Qi, so that even a fool can see this at a glance The convoy was so rich that countless bandits were hiding in secret places along the road, drooling, and almost drowned themselves. It also made countless business travelers who encountered the Luofu convoy on the official road in the past four days The visiting team's horizons were greatly opened. Some were dumbfounded, some were envious, and there were hundreds of merchants who wanted to join the Luofu Team, all wanting to take a ride on the Luofu Team. Rush back to Yinzhou Mansion.
Obviously, these caravans firmly believe that if they go with the Luofu convoy, there will be absolutely no problem with their safety along the way. They are even willing to pay a "travel fee" for this. However, It is a pity that the steward of the Luofu convoy politely and tactfully rejected these caravan travelers who wanted to hitch a ride, and did not allow this long snake-like convoy to grow in length and thickness. Moreover, the reasons were also appropriate - four The sky has traveled more than 700 miles, who can bear it? Who can keep up? ?
This speed is also a major reason for jaw-dropping those who meet on the road. Even if this southwest official road has indeed been unstable in recent years, with strong men and countless forces in the surrounding mountains and forests, is it necessary to rush like this? With such a super lineup, who would dare to make any decisions?
In fact, strictly speaking, the "accident rate" of this Baiyin Avenue in the past two years cannot be said to be very high. It can only be said that it has increased approximately six or seven times compared to ten years ago. Based on this data, At first glance, it seems to be an exaggeration, but you have to consider that the "accident rate" ten years ago was extremely low. Even though it has increased six or seven times now, it is not so exaggerated that ordinary warriors would not dare to ride alone. The extent of being in a hurry.
In fact, without lucrative targets, most bandit forces have little interest. On this extremely wealthy Baiyin Avenue, in the past few years, many unspoken rules for robbery have been produced. One of the important principles is "not open for three years, open for three years." Before taking action, try to find the target accurately, strike out, and immediately escape far away to avoid the Daxia border army, and moved once After the surgery, it is best not to show off again for three or four months
There are many similar robbery rules, and among them there is also a very important "taboo", which is to leave no one alive every time a crime is committed, to kill everyone, money, money and human life, all are needed, and it is extremely cruel. Therefore, this This kind of extremely vicious and arrogant force usually does not live for more than a month, and the longest does not exceed three months, which is a major evidence that the "accident rate" of Baiyin Avenue is really not high - such arrogance will bring trouble to Daxia The imperial court was so furious that it was really difficult to live.
Yes, it is extremely difficult to form thousands of elite teams to wipe out countless bandits across the country, but this does not mean that if you only target someone or a certain force in a certain place, Daxia officials will also There is no way to deal with it. If you really want to destroy a specific bandit force, you will never be able to escape even if you are the biggest thief in the world.
With these common unspoken rules and some bloody exceptions, this determines that the safety of most business travelers traveling on Baiyin Avenue is guaranteed in most cases, as long as their own strength is not too weak. Being able to hold on until the moment when the border troops arrive, instead of being defeated by the bandits at once, being cleaned up by the bandits in a few rounds and then taking off with the loot.If you go away and escape without a trace, then it's not that easy if something goes wrong.
At the same time, the Great Xia court, the Yinzhou government, the local rich and powerful in Yinzhou, the Baizu City officials and various forces, and the surrounding Baiman tribes, all of which have "equity" in Baiyin Avenue, will not allow Baiyin Avenue to be allowed. Silver Avenue has really become a "treasury" for bandit forces, allowing strongmen from all walks of life to do whatever they want on this avenue. Therefore, the Daxia border troops are stationed along the road and stationed in several specific military camps. Most of the forces of the barbarian tribes will also consciously maintain the security of this official road, because this itself is related to their respective interests.
In this case, the Luofu convoy still made such a fuss about this trip, as if they wanted to use this lineup and strength to scare the bandit forces along the way, hoping that they would retreat and not ask for trouble. , seeking a dead end, not to mention affecting the speed of the convoy - judging from the reason of "rushing to deliver", it still makes sense, and even most people in the convoy hold this idea.
But, is the reason really that simple?
Obviously, if it was just to rush the delivery, Li Yuanyan would not have to put up such a big fight. All of this is actually a forced and helpless choice. Otherwise, he would really have invited so many people. Escorts and bounty hunters all cost nothing, right? ?
¡°Also, hundreds of soldiers and private soldiers marched in a hurry, and the spiritual springs and spiritual wine that were consumed along the way did not need to be spent, right? No matter how much you show off, you can't show off like this, and no matter how rich you are, you can't waste it like this. Furthermore, even if you really want to rush to deliver the goods to the buyer on time, there is no need for Li Yuanyan, the mother-in-law, to bring her own son. Escort them together, and there is no need to urgently summon Yang Hu, the would-be martial sect, from Yinzhou Prefecture overnight
All of this actually clearly shows that this "dart walk" is unusual. Unfortunately, only a very small number of people in this convoy can see this, and it happens to be these few people. The expressions on the road were all serious and alert, just like the twenty black-armored guards who did not relax at all, just like the walking black-armored Captain Di Nu, who was walking on the avenue. No one knows what he is actually doing - there are many things he can learn by stepping on the earth
