Child of Light

Chapter 55
The bandit leader said happily: "Okay, brother, you and your friends go, I'm going to receive the spoils. Haha."
I really didn't expect this to be the result in the end. It was so dramatic that I became friends with the robber.
The leader of the caravan, Mr. Meng, saw that we turned enemies into friends, not to mention how uncomfortable he was. He kept scolding himself for being so blind, so he ran over quickly. He didn't dare to look for me, so he ran to Long Meng and begged bitterly. : "Longmeng, let the great magician of the longbow tell us about it, and let these big brothers let us go, it is too great for us to lose this batch of property."
Long Meng looked at him with disdain, and said coldly: "Is it too late? Who told you not to trust Longbow? Who is to blame? You are to blame. I have no face to intercede for you."
"Yes, yes, it's all because of my lack of vision. I'm too selfish, but there are old and young among us. Many people lost their property this time and went bankrupt. Please, tell me." Mr. Meng was already in tears.
Although Long Meng looks reckless on the outside, he is still very kind in his heart. Seeing Mr. Meng, a big man with tears streaming down his face, his heart softened, and he said helplessly, "Okay, don't do this, I'll try it, but I can't guarantee it." The Longbow will answer."
"Thank you, thank you, you're such a nice guy."
I have heard their conversations on the sidelines for a long time, and I thought about it in my heart, it is not easy for businessmen, it is also for survival, forget it, why should I have the same knowledge as them.
Before Long Meng could speak to me, I said first: "Okay, Long Meng, stop talking, I'll go and try to plead with the other party."
I walked up to the bandit leader who was counting the belongings, and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I still have to trouble you."
The bandit leader said boldly: "If you have any embarrassment, just say anything."
"It's like this. You see, these merchants are not easy. 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 in embarrassment: "I'm afraid it's impossible for us to spit out the fat in our mouths. Why do you still help them? You didn't see the face of those profiteers just now. They don't trust you at all. Why do you still care about them so much?"
I also felt very embarrassed and sighed, "No way, firstly, they are my clients, secondly, 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 budge, "I didn't mean to threaten you, I just hoped that you would agree to my request, and I will definitely return your favor in the future."
Under my firm gaze, he gradually softened, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "I really can't do anything 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, so many brothers follow me, I can't let them go away empty-handed, and, I have one condition."
I am already very satisfied with his answer, these profiteers should also learn a lesson, this result is the best, I said with a smile: "Then I thank you in advance, please 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 strict. You have to be prepared. If you can't do it, the agreement just now will be in vain."
My heart tightened, and I gritted my teeth, "You tell me, as long as I can do it." Will he deliberately make things difficult for me?You won't want an arm or a leg from me.
He laughed and said, "My condition is—" He deliberately drew his voice to whet my appetite, "I invite you to our cottage as a guest."
After listening to his words, I was like a deflated ball, almost fell to the ground, I fell, I fell mad, what kind of condition is this, it is 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 has been cancelled."
I hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I am willing to go, and I also want to see what your place is like. Are you not scaring me to death?"
He suddenly laughed happily, "Haha, I tricked you 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 so grateful to me, I ignored them and just told Long Meng about the bandit's conditions.I asked them to escort the caravan to Xiuda first, and I will be a guest in the bandit den for a few days.
At the beginning, Long Meng firmly opposed 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 let me go to Xiuda Kingdom safely.I accidentally accepted so many younger brothers, and I was also a little bit surprised. After I told him this, I said that I would look for them when I arrived at the Xiuda Association.
Seeing Long Meng and the others go far away, I turned my head, 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 Longbow Wei, this year [-] years old is almost [-]."
"Everyone calls me Zhan Hu, so you can call me that too. I don't want to mention my previous name again. I am [-] years old this year, but I am older than you. It's okay to be your big brother."
I thought to myself, it seems that he must have some unbearable past events, it is better not to touch him, and replied: "Of course, you are the big brother, let's go, let me see your lair." Then, I urged a horse that was given to me by a bandit, and rushed out first.
"Do you know him? Let me lead the way." Zhan Hu's horse is obviously more handsome, and he chased me and rode side by side with me.
Their lair is in the mountains at the border between Aisha and Xiuda. It is a bandit lair rather than a large-scale village, and Zhan Hu is obviously the village head of the entire village. When all the bandits brought back a large amount of property, they greeted 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, it is a basin-like terrain, the whole village is integrated with the surrounding mountains, lush, if not Knowing that I really thought this was a paradise.
