Sunrise in the east, surrounded by mist

A carriage is slowly driving on the official road to Qingzhou Zhoucheng.

There were twelve guards at the front and rear, protecting the carriage and driving smoothly.

"Tell everyone to rest on the side of the road."

A gentle voice came from inside the car, and Xiao He greeted the guards accompanying the car, and the car stopped by the side of the official road.

A few minutes after the convoy stopped, another team of carriages appeared on the official road.

However, compared to the previous one, this team seemed a bit embarrassed.

Several warriors with scabbards were covered with bandages, but there were a total of seven carriages, but the goods on four of the carriages were gone, leaving only two wheels and the wooden boards on them.

"It's the convoy of Dahan Commercial Bank!"

The leader of this team was a middle-aged man, and a young man beside him saw the flag with the four characters of Dahan Commercial Bank flying in the air, and his face showed envy.

Anyone who does business knows the name of the Dahan Commercial Bank, especially for those who ship goods to various places. In their eyes, the Dahan Commercial Bank represents safety.

Because the Dahan Trading Company is rich and has hired a large number of warriors. A few years ago, many robbers robbed the goods of the Dahan Trading Company. Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, the general trading company can only accept the dumb loss.

After all, these robbers were hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, but they had no choice, but the Dahan Trading Company did not. Not only did they dispatch all the warriors in the trading firm, they even spent a lot of money to invite some martial arts experts to encircle and suppress these robbers.

It's just because these robbers robbed Dahan Commercial Bank of three boxes of goods, the total value of which was only one thousand taels, and in order to encircle and suppress these robbers, Dahan Commercial Bank paid a price of tens of thousands of taels.

At that time, many commercial firms felt that Dahan Commercial Firm was stupid. Isn’t it a waste of money to do so?

But after the news got out, the robbers from all over the place didn't dare to attack the trucks of the Dahan Company because they were afraid of the revenge of the Dahan Company.

It was only then that the other firms realized, why did the Dahan firm spend such a high price to encircle and suppress the robber? This was to make an example to other robbers.

Many commercial firms also want to follow the example of Dahan Commercial Firm, but the effect is not so good. After all, these robbers also want to eat. If you commercial firms do this one by one, how can they eat as robbers?

The middle-aged man looked at the twelve warrior guards, then looked at the situation of his own team, pondered for a while, and then walked towards the carriage.

It's just that as soon as the middle-aged man walked in, the twelve guards stared at him immediately. The sharp eyes made the middle-aged man feel great pressure, so he stopped, cupped his fists and said, "Excuse me, the one in the carriage is a big man." The nobleman of the firm is Chen Jin, the treasurer of the Xiasantai firm."

The twelve guards did not speak, but a young man sitting in front of the carriage came over: "Is there anything for Shopkeeper Chen?"

"Dare you all go to Qingzhou?"

"yes."

"I don't know if our caravan can go with you. Of course, I will pay you according to the rules."

"Can."

He Chuan readily agreed, but this made Chen Jin a little surprised, because in his imagination, this person was obviously a book boy or a servant, and it was impossible for him to be in charge. After listening to his request, It should be to ask the nobleman in the carriage for instructions.

Seeing shopkeeper Chen's astonishment, He Chuan secretly laughed in his heart. Just now, his son had been sent to him by voice transmission, and he agreed to shopkeeper Chen's request.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Jin came to his senses and quickly expressed his thanks, then turned around and went back to inform the team of the news, after a while there were cheers from the team.

Their team was also guarded by several warriors, but they encountered robbers a day ago. Not only were they robbed of three carts of goods, but several guards were also injured.

And there are several hills to pass from here to Qingzhou. There are also rumors of robbers on these hills. Given the current situation of the caravan, it is impossible for the caravan to pass safely.

You can't get to Qingzhou, and you can't go back. If you choose to go to Qingzhou after repairing the nearest county, it will delay the delivery time.

Originally he had no choice, Chen Jin could only be prepared to waste time, but now that he met the team from the Dahan Trading Company and gave him a chance, he naturally hoped to rush to Qingzhou as soon as possible.

If these goods are delivered to the commercial firm on time, the profit can just offset the truckloads that were robbed, so it is a waste of time.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, the two convoys started again, and soon came to a mountain.

Windy Ridge.

Fengfeng Ridge is not the only way to Qingzhou, but it is a shortcut to Qingzhou. Chen Jin looked at the mountain and said to his son with emotion: "Xiaofeng, the Dahan Commercial Bank, dared to go to Fengfeng Ridge." , if it were us, we would rather take a half-day detour each time."

There are bandits on the mountains around Fengfeng Ridge, and there are more than one gang. The caravans that often travel to Qingzhou dare not take this road, and some foreign caravans will most likely suffer in order to take a shortcut.

"This is the Dahan Commercial Bank. It is indeed one of the four major commercial firms in the world. The robbers in Fengfeng Ridge will not dare to do anything when they see this flag."

"Stop the caravan!"

A roar sounded from the mountain on the left, and then dozens of figures appeared and walked out of the forest, blocking the caravan's way forward and back.

"Father!" Chen Feng looked at his father.

Chen Jin looked a little embarrassed. He just said that the robbers in Fengfeng Ridge did not dare to stop the convoy of Dahan Trading Company, but he was slapped in the face.

"Heroes and heroes, this is a car from Dahan Commercial Bank. I hope you can accommodate me."

Facing the burly robber with a fierce look on his face, He Chuan stepped forward and spoke without any fear.

"It doesn't matter what kind of business you are, as long as you pass here, you have to leave the goods. If you don't want to die, leave the goods, and everyone will get out of here."

The bandit leader glanced at the caravan disdainfully, and the twelve guards took up their weapons one after another when the bandit leader said this.

Swish!

The spear in the lead guard's hand shot at the bandit leader like an arrow, and the bandit leader didn't even have time to react, the spear directly pierced his chest.

The leader of the bandits fell to the ground, but the other bandits did not retreat. Instead, they were aroused fiercely and raised their swords in their hands to attack.

"Form formation, kill!"

The guard who shot the spear drew his long knife from under the saddle and gave an order. The remaining eleven guards also drew their spears and faced the robbers.

There were nearly a hundred robbers, but the horses under the feet of the twelve guards all fell to the ground after a few back and forth charges. The most important thing is that these guards shot so hard that these robbers didn't even have a life.

"This... is simply more terrifying than the warrior army."

Chen Jin once joined the army when he was young. There were some teams of warriors in the army. These teams were powerful and decisive. A team of a hundred people could easily kill a team of a thousand people.

He had seen a team of warriors before, but compared with the twelve guards in front of him, it was still inferior.

"This is definitely the elite of Dahan Commercial Firm, so who is sitting in this carriage?"

The elite will only appear when escorting important people, that is to say, the people sitting in the carriage are extremely important people of the Dahan Commercial Bank, and definitely not ordinary shopkeepers.

"Shopkeeper Chen, you just saw that these robbers attacked the caravan, and our caravan fought back in self-defense. If there is an inquiry from the government, shopkeeper Chen will be asked to testify."

"Yes... yes."

Chen Jin just recovered from the shock. Hearing He Chuan's words, he felt a little guilty in his heart. How could the government care about the robber's life and death, and only rewarded the behavior of the Dahan Trading Company.

Could it be that the Dahan Commercial Bank wanted to take the reward from the government, and many of them themselves testified for them?

Chen Jin only thought of this possibility, but then he thought that the Dahan Commercial Bank did not lack the reward silver, and if he really took the reward silver, it would only anger the robbers everywhere.

This gang of robbers plundered your Dahan Commercial Bank, and if they were killed by your Dahan Commercial Bank, they deserved it because they didn't have eyesight, but if your Dahan Commercial Bank went to the government to receive reward money, it would be a violation of the taboo of robbers in the world.

These robbers really wanted to target the Dahan Trading Company, even if all the warriors from the Dahan Trading Company were sent out, they would not be able to protect all the caravans.

The convoy continued on with Chen Jin full of thoughts until the sky gradually darkened.

Seeing the convoy stop suddenly, Chen Jin looked at the carriage in front of him with some doubts, and then saw that little brother He walking over.

"Brother He, why did you stop the team?"

The guards of Dahan Trading Company called this little brother He, and he followed suit.

"Shopkeeper Chen, tell the people in the caravan not to panic for a while."

"do not panic?"

Before Chen Jin could understand why He Chuan said this, the horses in the caravan suddenly neighed, and Chen Jin, who had been in the business all year round, could tell at a glance that this was a sign of the frightened horses.

Why was Ma'er suddenly frightened?

Rumble!

When Chen Jin was puzzled, there was a sudden rumbling sound, followed by the vibration of the earth. Chen Jin immediately looked forward, and there were groups of black shadows galloping ahead.

This is a cavalry team, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 300 people.

The caravan personnel behind Chen Jin also saw the shadow of the cavalry in front, and retreated to the side of the road in panic.

"Brother He, you..."

Chen Jin saw that the carriage of the Dahan Commercial Company did not move, and was still occupying the middle of the official road, so he couldn't help but reminded: "This team of cavalry seems to be in a hurry, if they don't move out of position, they will be charged directly by the cavalry. stepped on."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for reminding me."

He Chuan turned his head and smiled to express his gratitude to Chen Jin. Chen Jin felt that Brother He had listened to his words, and the next step was to pull the carriage aside.

But what he didn't expect was that the carriage was still parked in the middle of the road, and He Chuan didn't give any orders.

One breath, two breaths...

Within fifteen breaths, the cavalry had arrived.

Chen Jin couldn't bear to close his eyes, even though the Dahan Commercial Firm had twelve guards, the end was doomed under the attack of the army.

Even if the first wave can be blocked, it is impossible to block the second wave.

He didn't understand why a business firm should compete with the army.

"Father, you...you look quickly."

After a few breaths, the screams of the horse and the shock of his own son came to his ears. Chen Jin opened his eyes and looked forward. The pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank and enlarged.
