    Chapter 1261: Partnering up

    "Brother, what do you do for me?"

    A middle-aged man with a fierce look on his face suddenly walked over to Feng Rushan and the others. Mo Yun didn't wait for the other person to speak and asked directly, but he didn't mean to stand up to greet the guests.

    The place where they are parked now is a simple one on the roadside, let's call it a service area. There are several small shops in the service area. In fact, they are just a few relatively sturdy tents. Basic security is also provided at night, so that people passing by can  , you can rest and stay overnight in the service area, and you can also replenish basic supplies such as water, food, long arrows, etc. Of course, you know the price.

    Qinke Grassland is vast and sparsely populated. Even such a simple service area is not easy to find. Compared to sleeping in the barren mountains and wild mountains, the simple four-character signboard of hot tea and flatbread in the service area is not a good choice for those who are tired of eating.  Travelers who order barbecue are very tempting.

    It was getting late, and a dozen temporary tents were set up sparsely in the service area. Next to one of the tents, five people lit a fire, drank and chatted. They had more than a dozen camels gathered together.  There was a pile of goods packed in small packages, and it looked like a small caravan.

    "Haha, I'm from Xiaoguang, the Gisai tribe,"

    The middle-aged man smiled and cupped his hands. He walked to the fire and poured two bowls of wine. He held one of the bowls to Mo Yun with both hands. He picked up the remaining bowl and drank it in one gulp. He said this unhurriedly.  Just flip the words.

    It turned out that Xiaoguang was the shopkeeper of a small caravan. This time the caravan was transporting a batch of common herbs to the east. He got news that about half a month ago, the famous horse bandit Ban Bian Yun was joined by several nearby tribes.  Encirclement and suppression, a big battle, the horse bandits were defeated miserably, Ban Yun even failed to defend his lair, and fled for his life in a hurry.

    Fighting against the horse bandits was originally a good thing and had little to do with their caravan. However, it is said that a small group of horse bandits that broke up fled into the Black Wind Mountain ahead. The key is that this group of horse bandits not only accidentally concealed themselves, but also  They were plundering everywhere, and Black Wind Mountain was the only way their caravan would pass. Xiaoguang was worried that there were few people in the caravan, so he wanted to go with Feng Rushan and the others.

    " Hehe, in fact, in the past, Banbianyun was not too harsh on small caravans like us. There was a rule for tolls, and the collection was not much. It's a pity that if we encounter these stragglers now, we still can't keep it.  It¡¯s hard to explain Banbianyun¡¯s rules. In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog.¡±

    Xiao Guang was very eloquent and vividly described the battle between the tribal coalition and Banbian Yun. But in the end, simply speaking, Xiao Guang wanted to hire Feng Rushan and the others as temporary bodyguards for the caravan.

    When you rely on your parents at home, rely on friends when you go out, or do business on the grassland, accidents, big and small, and similar situations will happen anytime and anywhere.  Not uncommon.

    "Half the cloud has been wiped out! Shopkeeper Xiao, how many remaining bandits are there in Black Wind Mountain?"

    Banbian Yun is the largest group of horse bandits within a thousand miles and is well-known far and wide. Mo Yun has naturally heard of it. However, it has been six days since they left Shiniu Village and they have traveled nearly 500 miles. The news that Banbian Yun was surrounded and suppressed has reached him.  This is the first time I heard it.

    "What a pity? Hey, thieves have their ways! It seems that fighting against horse bandits is not a good thing for everyone. No matter how bad the rules are, it is better than no rules. Knowing yourself and your enemy, Mo Yun can still keep his composure.  good."

    Feng Rushan nodded secretly in his heart.

    Heifeng Mountain is also a must-go for their group. It seems that Xiaoguang is a veteran of this journey. Traveling together will be beneficial to both parties. Mo Yun can also inquire about the situation first. As a young man in his early 20s,  It's quite calm.

    As for horse bandits blocking roads and robbing, they are of course a scourge, but as far as Feng Rushan knows, horse bandits that are larger in scale and have a fixed territory generally do not kill people indiscriminately on passing caravans and travelers, but collect tolls.  The amount of travel expenses is generally stable.

    Tribes generally do not collect tolls, but the shops in the service area all have the background of tribal nobles. The prices in the service area are much more expensive than the ordinary market prices, and there are basically no discounts, and there is no room for bargaining. Among them  Hehe, in the service area, guests take the initiative and voluntarily come to receive services. They are willing to be beaten or endured, and the bandits rely on force. Maybe it is a little different. At least, it can be regarded as a small step towards civilization.

    Although in essence, Feng Rushan really couldn't understand it. He stood on horseback and raised his knife, shouting that I drove this mountain and planted this tree. He was smiling and said in a gentle voice that he was welcome to visit next time. I wish him the best.  What is the essential difference between your happy trip and the service area shopkeeper.

    "The total number of people is about two or three hundred. I just heard it from someone, so I'm not sure. However, the horse bandits will never go out all at once. As long as it doesn't go too far, it doesn't matter if you buy them a drink  "

    Feng Rushan and his party were not only quite large in number, but each of them rode a leopard and lin horse. The key point was that, except for the two servants and Murong Xuefei, they were all martial artists.?, all of them carry swords and arrows, looking majestic and high-spirited, and there are two second-level warriors. If luck is not too bad, it is enough to deter twenty or thirty horse bandits.

    The bandits want money, usually not their lives.

    Xiaoguang has been running on this road for most of his life and has dealt with Banbian Yun many times. What he transported this time was ordinary blue chrysanthemums, which were not of high value. He did not expect to run into horse bandits. Feng  Rushan, they can win in battle, but harmony will bring wealth, and loss of wealth will avoid disaster. He just wants to pay less tolls.

    Unfortunately, bargaining also requires strength. According to usual habits, the caravan only brought four guards, which was too weak.

    Who knows if this group of horse bandits who just suffered a defeat have a good temper.

    "Okay! Let's set off together tomorrow morning. Zhewen, go have a drink with Shopkeeper Xiao and have a good chat."

    Mo Yun understood Xiaoguang¡¯s bottom line and requirements and agreed without hesitation.

    Being a guest bodyguard is also paid. As for the specific amount of the reward, there are corresponding rules on the road. However, Mo Yun will not worry about these details.

    "Haha, Zhewen of the Stone Niu Tribe, shopkeeper Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you"

    Zhewen glanced at Feng Rushan intentionally or unintentionally, and enthusiastically took Xiaoguang to the caravan's bonfire to drink.

    This is his role in the team, Zhewen is very experienced.

    "I am decisive. However, I am still a bit young and energetic. Maybe Mo Yun thinks that I killed the evil wolf with the help of a hidden weapon, and my real strength is nothing more than this, so it is not worthy of attention. But hey, the horse bandit is newly defeated,  Shopkeeper Xiao has come to find us, so it¡¯s better not to get into trouble.¡±

    Feng Rushan shook her head slightly towards Murong Xuefei.

    Naturally, their group was headed by Mo Yun, but due to emotions and reasons, Mo Yun should seek the opinion of the elder Feng Rushan on such matters, even if it was symbolic, and both parties understood that it was symbolic.  Some cutscenes are still indispensable.

    Even if Feng Rushan's nominal elder is nothing, he is still a second-level warrior. Now they are drinking in the vast Qinke grassland, not in a tent in Shiniu Village.

    Unless necessary, keep the procedures as correct as possible. This is an indispensable basic concept, or quality, of a successful leader.

    Of course, maybe Mo Yun never regarded Feng Rushan as an elder.

    He is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. Feng Rushan is really worried that Mo Yun is like some second-generation people, such as Mulan Qinyan. He knows nothing, has no ability, and is arrogant, thinking that I am the best in the world.  .

    Although Mo Yun behaved quite well in the past few days, he was obviously in a low mood and seldom spoke. Feng Rushan had no way of judging his temper and character.

    Nan Menyuan's feelings for Mo Yun may be true, but Feng Rushan still prefers to believe her own eyes.

    A group of them brought some gifts to the people related to the Black Wolf tent. They were of high value, but not large in size. They did not have any eye-catching valuables and some daily necessities. Of course, the horse bandits looked down on them. However, Leopard  Linma is a good thing to fight against horse bandits. Feng Rushan's intuition and horse bandits always have to be touched. It is not a bad thing to have this old sparrow in Xiaoguang's caravan.

    ¡­¡­

    "Horse bandit! Hey, what does Elder Mu mean?"

    In the evening of the next day, smoke and dust were billowing in front, the sound of hoofbeats was faint, and a group of people and horses came galloping towards them. It seemed that they were coming towards their strange combination. Mo Yun waved his hand to everyone to get ready for battle, and Xiao Guang  Riding their horses forward together, they suddenly remembered that there was an elder like Feng Rushan in the team.

    "Haha, the horse bandits have recently been defeated, their footing is not stable, and they are impatient. The bandits are ferocious and changeable. Mr. Yun, please be more careful."

    Feng Rushan was not familiar with Ban Bian Yun and was not sure about how the defeated general would act. Naturally, he did not have any good ideas and could only rely on Mo Yun to adapt to circumstances. However, he had no interest in negotiating with the horse bandits himself.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT TO TALK ABOUT IT

    "Well, thank you, Elder Mu."

    Mo Yun nodded expressionlessly, made a strange gesture to Zhe Wen, urged his horse to catch up with Xiao Guang in front, and stood side by side not far from the caravan.

    "Brother Mu, there are not many horse bandits, probably less than thirty. What the young master means is, it's best if nothing happens. If it doesn't work, strike first. Kill him if you can. Wait for his movements. If you do, Brother Mu  Responsible for dealing with the leader of the horse bandits as soon as possible, and leave the rest to the brothers. "

    Zhewen patted his horse and approached Feng Rushan and said in a low voice.

    "Well, let me try."

    "Hehe, you really come! My luck is too bad, no need to talk about it.  A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Mo Yun is commendable for his courage!  "

    Feng Rushan could only smile bitterly.

    ¡°Miss Mu just needs to look at our camels.¡±

    Zhewen was deeply impressed by Murong Xuefei's thunderous finger, but he still didn't want Murong Xuefei to fight head-on with the bandit.

    "Xiao Bei, be smart and don't wait for my uncle and me if the situation goes bad. Our horses are fast and the horse bandits may not be able to catch up."

    After Zhewen left, Feng Rushan whispered to He Shuang.

    He didn¡¯t want to provoke the tough horse bandits. Moreover, facing dozens of horse bandits on the open grassland, Feng Rushan was not worried about the safety of himself and Murong Xuefei, but he might not be able to protect He Shuang completely.
