Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 763 The Master Is This Person

Gan Shisan sneered when he saw someone hesitate.

"I'm willing to risk my life, but I can't guarantee I can defeat these over a hundred bandits. If I'm defeated, everyone will lose everything. Think about this carefully, isn't this true?"

His men also shouted along.

"Don't hesitate, the horse bandits have a short patience. Once they rush over, we will lose both our lives and our wealth."

Bas Mu took the lead and took thirty taels of silver from his steward.

"Bamou has more people, and there are more cars and people, so it should be so."

Some merchants followed suit and took out silver.

Merchants are profit-oriented. Even though they make money, they spend it lavishly without hesitation, but they are very stingy with the money they shouldn't spend.

After a while of commotion, they managed to gather three hundred taels of silver, and asked a guard to take the silver and hand it over to the horse bandit.

I saw more than a hundred horse bandits, who took the silver, whistled, turned their horses' heads, and sped away.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed.

Lin Feng also paid ten taels of silver, but he didn't see Gui Juan, Wu Mei and others. They didn't show up at all.

I don’t know what identity I have to follow the caravan and not pay any money.

The next two days went smoothly.

But on the third day, the caravan was stopped by horse bandits again.

This time the bandits were much more spirited than the last time. Not only were they better equipped, but they also had nearly two hundred men and horses.

The merchants in the caravan turned green in the face when they saw this situation.

How much the hell is this going to cost? I've already paid for a bodyguard, but all he does is negotiate for money.

If we encounter horse bandits a few more times, this trip will be a loss.

Gan Shisan still took people out to negotiate with the horse bandits. When he came back this time, his face was not very good. After gathering everyone, he pondered for a while.

"Everyone, we're unlucky this time. We've run into the biggest gang in the west of the town. I'm afraid we'll have to pay more money."

A dozen businessmen suddenly became nervous and stared at Gan Shisan, waiting for him to name the price.

"Uh... they want 1,500 taels from us."

"what..."

Everyone was suddenly in chaos.

"I've walked this road many times, and I've never encountered someone asking for money like this."

"Yeah, how can we live like this?"

"This business is incredible."

One thousand five hundred taels, if evenly distributed to each person, would be more than one hundred taels. Although it was not enough to make them lose money, it was still very painful.

The horse bandits were also very smart and pushed the price to the limit that the merchant had in mind.

Gan Shisan waited until the situation calmed down a little before speaking again.

"They also need some food and cloth, which can be used to pay for the silver."

Everyone was speechless, their faces darkened, and they stopped talking.

Gan Shisan shook his head: "You can see that they have more people and are stronger. If we choose to fight them head-on, we will definitely lose."

Bass Mu nodded and said, "If Lao Gan loses, we'll be at the mercy of others. Not only will we lose our money, but our lives will also depend on others' moods."

Gan Shisan bowed to Bas Mu.

"Brother Ba, please pay a little more this time. Once you pass this test, your future will be much smoother."

Ba Si Mu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give him more money. After all, I have more vehicles and horses. As long as we pass the customs smoothly, I will definitely make more than ten times the money."

When the small merchants heard them talking like this, they reluctantly started to pay money.

Lin Feng looked at it from the side and felt something was wrong.

The two guys sang in unison, and the traces of performance were obvious.

However, Lin Feng did not bother with them. His focus was on the man named Gui Juan and the girl named Wu Mei.

With everyone's reluctance, they finally collected enough money.

Just when everyone thought it was over, Gan Shisan spoke.

"Boss, please return to your carriages. The bandits are here to get some food and cloth. We should be impartial. Whoever's goods belong to us will be the one to suffer. Don't let others be implicated."

Among the dozen or so merchants, three were in the grain business and two were in the cloth business. When they heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly and they were in tears.

I paid the money and now I have to give back the goods. Looking at the two hundred bandits, how much of my goods can I keep?

"Boss Gan, we paid you to be our bodyguard, so why can't you protect anything?"

A businessman couldn't help but ask sharply.

Gan Shisan said calmly, "I, Gan Shisan, can protect your lives."

Bass Mu tried to persuade him, "Hey, money is something outside of your body. If you lose it, you can always earn more. But if you lose yourself, you lose everything. Isn't that right?"

"So you took our money and just saved your life?"

"What else can I do? Do I, Gan Shisan, have to guarantee that you can make money in business?"

"you you..."

The businessman was so angry that he couldn't speak.

No matter how they argued, the bandits had already urged their horses to the circle of carriages formed by the caravan.

The leader was a tall man with a fierce face. He held a spiked mace in his hand and scanned the area with his narrow eyes.

"Let them stand aside to avoid any loss of life."

Hundreds of horse bandits, with a bloody and violent atmosphere, created enormous psychological pressure on everyone. No one dared to argue anymore. They obediently returned to their carriages and watched the bandits' actions worriedly.

The bandits did not dismount, but rode in front of carts of goods, using their spears or lances to lift the oilcloth covering the carts to check what was inside.

"Everyone in the car, come out and stand."

A horse bandit came to the carriage with carriages and shouted sternly.

There were seven or eight carriages with compartments in the entire caravan, all of which were carrying people, either female relatives or merchants themselves.

Hearing the bandits' shouts, the people in the carriage slowly began to get out.

Most of them were women. Seeing the swords and guns everywhere, they trembled all over and were helped to stand aside by their families.

Lin Feng finally saw Gui Juan and Wu Mei, as well as an old man with a white beard and a young man with an upright body, with two straight knives, one long and one short, stuck in his waist.

These four people were obviously different from the others. Both their clothing and temperament were somewhat different from the majority of people.

They were about twenty or thirty steps away from Lin Feng, and they turned their heads to look at him at the same time, with the same scrutiny in their eyes.

They both knew that the other was an expert and difficult to deal with.

Guijuan grabbed Wu Meizhe's sleeve with one hand and kept reminding her not to act rashly, as these horse bandits were not their enemies.

Tsurutamon bent over and squatted in front of the carriage, looking at no one, as if counting ants on the ground.

Shuichuan leaned back against the carriage, looking indifferent, occasionally glancing at Lin Feng and Hong Xiao.

Hong Xiao leaned against Lin Feng, looked at Shuichuan, and spoke softly.

"General, this young man has the aura of a master from that night, as sharp as a knife."

Lin Feng took a deep breath.

"Looks like I have to compete with him in swordsmanship."

"What should we do with these horse bandits?"

"Don't worry, we'll just get the news out and send people to wipe it out."

As the two were talking, a bandit came up to them on horseback, waving a foot-long spear in front of them.
