Chapter 194: The leader of the green forest in Beijiang

In the eyes of the commoners of Panjiang City, only by letting Menghuzhai enter Panjiang City could they live a good life like the commoners of Qing City.

As for these officials, what did they have to do with them?

It's just a pity that the situation is stronger than people, and they can only hope that Menghuzhai can break in early!

To prevent his wife from suffering, Jiang Jinshi specially arranged a carriage in the caravan, while he himself rode a horse and carried a long halberd, walking at the very front of the caravan.

The caravan set off with goods, and the progress was not as fast as a single person and a single horse. Jiang Jinshi was a bit bored, so he asked the bandit beside him.

"Where did you encounter bandits last time?"

"Replying to the Great Chief, it was after stepping into Shuo Fang Jun, almost every city could encounter a group of bandits!" The bandit looked at Jiang Jinshi with full admiration.

Jiang Jinshi cheered up. Now they had just entered the scope of Shuo Fang Jun, "Yo! Then that means it's almost time now?"

"Yes!"

"I hope these fellow travelers won't let me down!" Jiang Jinshi muttered to himself. After all, this matter could be considered the only fun on his trip.

As soon as the words fell, rows of wooden stakes were erected at the intersection ahead. The tops of the wooden stakes were sharpened, clearly to prevent anyone from escaping on horseback.

"It really is 'speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives'! I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Jiang Jinshi didn't have any panic, held the long halberd with one hand, and carefully observed these fellow travelers.

These wooden stakes were clearly buried shallowly in the ground, tied tightly with hemp rope. When someone passed by, they only needed to pull the ropes at both ends to make them stand up.

At the same time, there was movement at the very back of the caravan. Jiang Jinshi looked back and saw a group of people rushing out from one side, blocking the caravan's retreat.

The front was the same. These bandits kept rushing out from the side of the road, with greedy light flashing in their eyes.

The entire caravan had seventy carts, which looked like a standard wealthy family. How could these bandits not be tempted?

Jiang Jinshi raised his hand and ordered: "The ones behind move forward, gather! Protect the goods in the very middle!"

Li Xinyue lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside, then put it down indifferently.

In the carriage, Tang Rui was a bit nervous: "Pre... President, are there many bandits?"

"It's fine! Jinshi can handle it, don't worry!"

Tang Rui suppressed the panic in her heart. When she encountered bandits robbing the road, she was also calm, but the result was that the maid was almost split in half. Since then, she had had a shadow in her heart.

But the good news was that Jiang Jinshi, who caused her psychological shadow, was now in the caravan.

There was a man with a handlebar mustache among this group of bandits, who should be the military advisor, and said to the Great Chief beside him.

"It's indeed a fat sheep, but I estimate the point is a bit thorny!"

This Great Chief had a similar build to Xiexiezi, but didn't have a trace of the scholar's elegance, and the scar on his face looked exceptionally fierce.

This person said calmly: "The road is blocked, try the depth first!"

"Hey! Which path are you from?" The military advisor shouted at Jiang Jinshi. This person looked like the leader, so see what the other party said first.

Jiang Jinshi said excitedly: "Fellow travelers! Want to practice?"

Both of them were a bit unsure. There wasn't a trace of nervousness on the other party's face, clearly very confident in their team.

Roughly estimating the strength of both sides, Jiang Jinshi's team had more than two hundred people, while their stronghold only had more than one hundred. If they really fought, it might not be good.

So the military advisor thought for a while and shouted: "I don't care which path you are from, leave us two-tenths of the goods, and we will let you go."

Usually, such a statement meant there was no certainty to take down the other party, so just ask for some road money. The other party didn't want casualties either, and generally, they would agree.

These dozens of carts of goods, two-tenths were a bit too much, but the military advisor did it on purpose. After all, according to common sense, the other party would also bargain.

"Two-tenths?" Jiang Jinshi dragged the tail sound very long, and a mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

The military advisor couldn't see the expression on Jiang Jinshi's face, only thinking the other party was hesitating, so he continued: "That's right! But seeing that the good man is also a straightforward person, we only want one-tenth and a half, just to make friends!"

"Want one-tenth and a half of my goods, and make friends? You've eaten shit until you're full, haven't you!" Jiang Jinshi spoke unceremoniously.

The bandit leader's face sank immediately, blocking the military advisor who was about to speak, and said with a hint of threat: "Does your Excellency want to live?"

Jiang Jinshi was a bit helpless when he heard this, "Why don't you have any new ideas? Always talking about wanting to live, it's clear you are bandits who haven't read books!"

"It seems your Excellency is determined to be our enemy?"

The other party's Great Chief drew his big knife, and a group of bandits also held the hilt of the knife tightly, just waiting for their own leader's order.

"If you want to fight, just fight, why so much nonsense?" As soon as the words fell, Jiang Jinshi clamped the horse's back and rushed forward with the long halberd in one hand.

Xiao Hu silently retreated to Li Xinyue's carriage. This was arranged by Jiang Jinshi in advance.

Seeing the other party so stubborn, rushing to kill without a word, the other party's Great Chief could only bite the bullet and pick it up.

"Kill for me!"

The moment the two approached, Jiang Jinshi made the first move, and the long halberd picked up and collided with the other party's big knife.

"Clang!"

After a clear sound, the other party's big knife had already left his hand, and Jiang Jinshi's long halberd was placed on the other party's neck.

Jiang Jinshi didn't expect the other party's momentum to be quite sufficient, but he didn't expect to be defeated in just an instant.

Even the bandits behind didn't rush up, standing blankly in place watching this scene.

And the bandit leader looked at his slightly trembling palm in disbelief. What kind of strange power was this?

The feeling transmitted from the handle of the knife at that moment was like encountering something that couldn't be blocked, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake it at all.

Only then did the bandit leader understand that this point wasn't a bit thorny, it was very expensive.

"I lost, kill or cut as you please!"

But the bandit leader still stiffened his neck and didn't beg for mercy, just the blushing face was a bit ashamed.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinshi took back the long halberd and asked: "What are your bandits called?"

"I don't change my name when I walk, I don't change my surname when I sit, Muyang Stronghold!"

Hearing this name, Jiang Jinshi almost fell off the horse's back, and asked with some hesitation: "This name... could it be..."

"That's right, I admire Menghuzhai very much!" Speaking of this, the other party's eyes suddenly had light, and he began to talk endlessly.

"Menghuzhai robs the rich and helps the poor, opens granaries to save commoners, and is the number one stronghold in the green forest of Beijiang!"

"I imagine you merchants should have heard of Menghuzhai's name, but it's a pity that you will never be able to experience Menghuzhai's greatness."

"Especially the Great Chief of Menghuzhai, he is a dragon and phoenix among people!" ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
