The bandit leader said happily: "Okay, brother, you and your friends can go, I'm going to receive the loot. Haha."
I really didn't expect this to be the result in the end. It was so dramatic. I actually became friends with the robber.
The leader of the caravan, Mr. Meng, felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw us turning enemies into friends. He kept scolding himself for being so blind. He ran over quickly. He didn't dare to look for me. He ran to Long Meng and begged bitterly. : "Long Meng, please ask the Great Magician of Longbow to speak for us. Let these big brothers let us go. The loss for us is too great if we lose this batch of property."
Long Meng looked at him with contempt and said coldly: "Is it too late? Who made you distrust Longgong? Who is to blame? It is yourselves. I have no face to intercede for you."
"Yes, yes, it's all because of my lack of vision. It's because I'm too selfish. But there are seniors and juniors among us. There are many people who have gone bankrupt after losing their property this time. Please, please tell me something." Mr. Meng was already in tears.
Although Long Meng looked like a reckless man on the outside, he was still very kind in his heart. Seeing that Mr. Meng, a grown man, was in tears, he softened his heart and said helplessly: "Okay, don't be like this. I'll try, but I can't guarantee it." Longbow will agree."
"Thank you, thank you, you are such a good person."
I had already heard their conversation nearby, and I thought to myself, it is not easy for businessmen, it is also about survival. Forget it, why should I be acquainted with them.
Before Long Meng could speak to me, I said first, "Okay, Long Meng, stop talking. I'll try to beg for mercy."
I walked up to the bandit leader who was counting his belongings and said sheepishly: "I'm so sorry, I still have to trouble you."
The bandit leader said boldly: "If you are embarrassed, just tell me if you have anything to do."
"It's like this. You see, it's not easy for these businessmen. Can you let them go this time? After all, this is the first time I have received a mercenary mission, and I don't want to waste it halfway."
The bandit leader shook his head and said awkwardly: "I'm afraid it's impossible for us to spit out the fat in our mouths. Why are you still helping them? You didn't see the faces of those profiteers just now. They don't trust you at all. Why do you think so much about them?"
I also felt very embarrassed and sighed, "I can't help it. First, they are my clients. Second, they also have wives and children. I just hope you don't do too much. I know you must have your own difficulties." , but everyone must leave a way out for themselves.”
The bandit leader's face darkened and he said grimly: "Are you threatening me?"
I stared into his eyes and refused to give in. "I didn't mean to threaten you. I just hope you can agree to my request. I will definitely return the favor to you in the future."
Under my firm gaze, he gradually softened, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do about you, but I like your character very much. I can promise you to let them go, but not all of them. I want half of the property. With so many brothers following me, I can’t let them leave empty-handed. Moreover, I have a condition.”
His answer satisfied me very much. These profiteers should also be taught a lesson. This result is the best. I smiled and said: "Then thank you first. You can tell me what conditions you have. As long as I can do it." , I will try my best to satisfy you.”
"My conditions are very harsh. You must be mentally prepared. If you fail to do so, the agreement you just made will be in vain."
My heart tightened and I gritted my teeth, "Just say it, as long as I can do it." Would he deliberately embarrass me? You don't want my arms or legs.
He laughed and said, "My condition is—" He deliberately lengthened his voice to appetize me, "I invite you to be a guest in our village."
After hearing his words, I felt like a deflated rubber ball. I almost fell to the ground. I fell, I fell wildly. What kind of condition was this? It was too simple.
I said weakly: "Boss, I'm convinced."
He said in surprise: "Why, you don't want to be our guest, then forget it, the agreement is cancelled."
I hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I am willing to go, and I also want to see what your place is like. Don't you scare me to death and make me feel uncomfortable?"
He suddenly laughed happily, "Haha, you were fooled by me too. This time I will take revenge."
I am speechless.
With the permission of the bandit leader, the bandits returned half of their belongings to the merchants. These profiteers were extremely grateful to me. I ignored them and just told Long Meng about the bandits' conditions. I asked them to escort the caravan to Xiuda first, and I was going to be a guest in the bandits' den for a few days.
At first, Long Meng was firmly against it, but after I kept explaining that the bandits would never hurt me, he agreed. He said that he would follow me in the future and ensure that I would reach Xiuda Kingdom safely. I was a little surprised that I had unintentionally accepted so many younger brothers. After I told him this, I said that I would find them when I got to the Xiuda Society.
Seeing Long Meng and the others walking away, I turned around, looked at the bandit leader, and said with a smile: "Boss, let's go too. By the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Changgong Wei. This year 16 years old, almost 17 years old.”
"Everyone calls me Zhan Hu, so you should also call me that. I don't want to mention my old name anymore. I'm 29 years old, but I'm older than you. It's okay to be your eldest brother."
I thought to myself, it seems that he must have some unbearable past events, so it would be better not to touch him. I replied: "Of course, you are the eldest brother. Come on, let me see your old home." Then, I urged a bandit to give me a horse and rushed out first.
"Do you know me? Let me lead the way." Zhan Hu's horses were obviously more powerful, and they immediately caught up with me and rode side by side with me.
Their nest is in the mountains at the border of Aixia and Xiuda. It is better to say that it is a bandit's nest than a large-scale village. Zhan Hu is obviously the head of the entire village. When the old, young, women and children in the village watch The thieves brought back a large amount of property and welcomed them like heroes.
The scale of this bandit village is really not small. The mountains have become their natural barrier. The small village is surrounded by mountains and has a basin-like terrain. The whole village is integrated with the surrounding mountains. It is lush and lush. Knowing this, I really thought this place was a paradise.
