Chapter 11 Thirty-Six Giant Bandits in the Northland
With the knife resting on his neck, even if Ma Kuo didn't want to calm down, he couldn't do it anymore.
With a wave of his hand, he asked the others to put down their weapons, looked directly at Chu Xiu and said, "Tell me, how do you know our origin?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Guess, the master of the horse village is good at martial arts, and he is not from Yeluzi at first glance. And judging by your behavior, although you are like bandits, you are prohibited by law, and you don't have the loose intention of ordinary bandits.
In addition, you said the word Qi Lian last time, Ma Zhaizhu, which is even more suspicious. Bandit and Qi Lian are connected together. Except for the Qi Lian cavalry among the thirty-six giant bandits in the Northland, I I really can't think of anything else. "
Hearing this, Ma Kuo couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "Damn, the feeling is that I didn't control my mouth."
In fact, although Chu Xiu said that he relied on these detailed observations, he was actually able to determine the identity of the other party because the original plot mentioned the news about the thirty-six giant bandits in the Northland.
A small bandit is a bandit, but a bandit who develops to the extreme becomes a giant bandit, a giant bandit who plunders the world!
The three great powers in the world, Beiyan, Dongqi, and Western Chu, are about the same in strength now, but a few decades ago, Beiyan was extremely weak, and was attacked by Dongqi and Western Chu. inside too.
In the troubled times, a group of reckless heroes rose together. In the northern land of Yan Kingdom, bandits grew rapidly and became the former thirty-six giant bandits in the northern land.
However, Beiyan re-emerged later, and it was heard that the Thirty-Six Giant Bandits in the Northland also provoked the Northern Yan Dynasty's martial arts faction, Extreme North Piaoxuecheng. The dead, the disabled, have become out of date.
In the original plot, there was news that the remnants of the thirty-six giant bandits from the North had appeared in Weijun. It was because of this news that Chu Xiu dared to confirm the identity of Ma Kuo and the others.
Chu Xiu took the knife away, and said lightly: "I know the details of the horse village master, but I didn't publicize it. Now the horse village master should know my sincerity, right?"
Ma Kuo rubbed his neck and muttered: "Your knife is indeed fast, but if it is farther away, I will never give you a chance to get close!"
After trying to be brave, Ma Kuo asked, "What exactly do you want to trade with my boss? It's the same if you tell me first."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I know the whereabouts of Pang Hu, the leader of the Qilian Iron Cavalry among the thirty-six giants, the 'Red Faced King' Pang Hu! I wonder if this news is enough to trade?"
Ma Kuo was startled when he heard the words, and sternly shouted: "You really know the whereabouts of the head? Did you lie to me?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Take me to meet the person behind you, he will naturally be able to tell whether what I said is true or not, and besides, I dare not lie when I get there."
Ma Kuo thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you can come with me, my boss is at Beishang Mang Mountain, and it takes a few days to get there."
Shangmang Mountain was originally not divided into north and south, it was just a mountain range, but the mountain range in the middle was slightly smaller, and Tongzhou Prefecture was in the center, so it was called Beishangmang Mountain and Nanshangmang Mountain by the locals of Wei County.
The place where Chu Xiu is now is Nanshangmang Mountain, leading to the Nanshan mining area, while Beishangmang Mountain is in the north of Tongzhou Prefecture, leading to Yan Kingdom.
Ma Kuo took Chu Xiu all the way to Beishangmang Mountain, and it took five days to copy the path before arriving at Beishangmang Mountain.
In Beishangmang Mountain, a large-scale cottage appeared in front of Chu Xiu, surrounded by high-rise arrow towers, which looked more formal than Ma Kuo's small cottage.
Ma Kuo explained: "After coming to Wei County, my boss built a cottage here, but just in case, we still have a small group of people scattered outside, just like my small cottage."
Ma Kuo blew a few strange whistles, and immediately a few bandits came over, and said to Ma Kuo, "Boss Ma, why are you free today? Who is this kid?"
Ma Kuo said: "An acquaintance, I will take him to see the boss first."
The bandits just nodded and ignored them. Obviously, Ma Kuo had enough prestige here, at least worthy of the trust of these bandits.
After arranging Chu Xiu in a living room, Ma Kuo left directly, apparently to find the person behind him.
Chu Xiu wasn't in a hurry either, so he drank his tea there quietly. After a while, Ma Kuo walked in with a tall and mighty man in his thirties, with a leopard head and eyes around him.
This guy's strength is much stronger than Chu Xiu's, he has already reached the blood coagulation state, and in Chu Xiu's view, the other party has even reached the peak of the blood coagulation state, and he is only one step away from entering the innate state.
The man looked at Chu Xiu, and a fierce air came to his face. He said in a deep voice, "You mean you know the whereabouts of the head?"
Ma Kuo hurriedly said: "This is Boss Han Bao Han, one of the former personal guards of the head of the family."
Chu Xiu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, Chu Xiu met Boss Han."
Han Bao waved his hand directly, snorted coldly and said: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what you want. Of course, you don't want to open your mouth like a lion, otherwise I can force the news of the big boss out of your mouth !"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Boss Han doesn't need to scare me. In fact, I didn't intend to trade this news at first, so I will tell Boss Han you now as a meeting gift.
As far as I know, after being seriously injured by the people of the Northern Yan court, Pang Huda had already hid in the barren mountains and dense forests of Liaodong County in the Northland. He is recovering his strength and wants to make a comeback. "
Chu Xiu didn't lie to them. After recovering his strength, Pang Hu, the "red-faced king" of later generations, really brought a little trouble to the Beiyan court. Unfortunately, it was just a small trouble, which was easily solved by the Beiyan court. up.
Han Bao asked suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me? Those who participated in the extermination of my thirty-six giant bandits back then included people from Extreme North Piaoxuecheng. land?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "The barren mountains and dense forests in Liaodong are deserted and uninhabited. Neither the Extreme North Piaoxue City nor the Beiyan court will enter it, and only some herbal pickers will enter it occasionally.
The head of Pang Huda just wants to restore his strength, not to develop his power. This kind of place couldn't be more suitable.
Besides, you should have heard of the truth about the darkness under the lights. Even you yourself would never have imagined that Pang Huda would stay in the Northland, let alone the imperial court and the Snow City in the Extreme North.
If Boss Han doesn't believe you, you can send someone to Liaodong County to have a look in person. There must be a code left by Master Pang Huda for you. From here, you can walk to Liaodong County in less than a month. "
After hearing this, Han Bao's face softened a little, and he cupped his hands to Chu Xiu and said, "If you can really find the master, I will accept this love. Tell me, what do you want?"
Chu Xiu didn't say what he wanted, he asked instead: "After Pang Huda is found, what is Boss Han going to do?"
Han Bao took it for granted: "Of course I'm going to take the people from the cottage to seek refuge with the master."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "That's wrong, Boss Han, Pang Hu's family is recuperating now, and it won't do anything for you to join him. Instead, your actions will increase the risk of exposing the big family, so I can guarantee that you After the sent people see Da Dangjia, Da Dangjia will definitely let you stay in Wei County temporarily and obey his orders.
So, Boss Han, what you have to do now is to accumulate money and food in Wei County, cultivate resources, and prepare for the re-emergence of the master in the future. "
Han Bao's eyes rolled, he was a rough man, when he was under Pang Hu's men, he was just an ordinary personal guard, only loyal and brave.
But he is not an idiot. Although Chu Xiu's words are nice, he will not just believe what Chu Xiu said by an outsider.
Han Bao asked directly: "Boy Chuxiu, what do you want for me? Although your Chu family is only a little powerful in Tongzhou Prefecture, you are still a local leader. You don't want to join my Beidi three Sixteen Giant Bandits, right?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What I want is very simple. I don't want to trade with Boss Han, but cooperation, long-term cooperation."
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?"
Chu Xiu pointed to Shangmang Mountain outside and said, "Wei County is a no-regret area. Beiyan ruled Wei County in name only, so bandits in Wei County are rampant. Even in this Shangmang Mountain, there may be dozens of bandits.
However, what these bandits did was a bit too much, they robbed wealth and killed them, and showed no mercy to the caravans that came and went. "
Han Bao sneered, "We are bandits, they are caravans, why are you showing mercy to them?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "But because of this, those caravans are afraid of bandits, or they simply don't take the small road of Shangmang Mountain and take the main road instead. Although it takes time, it is safe.
Or arrange a large number of guards to accompany them, so that the bandits can't get started. More and more such cases will also lead to less and less bandit business in Shangmang Mountain. "
Han Bao frowned immediately when he heard the words. In the past, the scale of the thirty-six giant bandits in the Northland had special people to make suggestions. He really hadn't considered these things, and Han Bao couldn't help asking: "Then what should we do? "
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "No rules, no rules. If there are no rules, we will make the rules! Caravans can enter and leave Shangmang Mountain at will, but they have to hand over part of the money. Boss Han can take the initiative to escort the merchant after taking the money." The caravan left Shangmang Mountain, anyone who wants to take advantage of this caravan is against you, Boss Han.
When the rules are settled and your reputation spreads, Boss Han, the caravans that come and go will take the initiative to ask you to pay money. "
Han Bao thought for a while and said, "Then, wouldn't I want to be an enemy of the bandits in Shangmang Mountain?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "One voice is enough for the entire Shangmang Mountain. Doesn't Boss Han have the confidence to deal with those mobs?"
Han Bao grinned and said, "Of course! If I hadn't recovered from my injuries, I would have dealt with those trash a long time ago."
Chu Xiu glanced at Han Bao in surprise. It seemed that this man's strength should be innate when he was at his peak, but he was mistaken.
