When Zhao Hai saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. &Quot; &Quot; it seems like these people have been lying in ambush on the mountain for a long time, waiting for a fat sheep to strike. But do we really look like fat sheep? ”
Xu Wanying, mu TOU, and Shi TOU chuckled when they heard Zhao Hai’s words. Xu Wanying said with a smile, ” “We don’t look like it, but Ryan does.”
“Why?” Zhao Hai asked, stunned. If we really count, we should be the ones who look like each other, right? There are only a few of us, but we have two carriages. And no matter what, Ryan still has nearly a hundred guards.”
Xu Wanying smiled and said, ” &Quot; all businessmen who walk the line of life know that without absolute confidence, they will not come without guards. We only have two carriages, and it looks like we don’t have any guards. In the eyes of those mercenaries, such people are either idiots or there are Masters in the carriage. Those mercenaries are weak. If we have Masters here, they will only be courting death. That’s why they won’t do anything to us. Ryan is the opposite. She has nearly a hundred guards. This number of people is already quite a lot for her carriages, and the mercenaries can tell the skills of his guards with one look. Compared to us, who don’t know who’s stronger, they’re better targets.”
Zhao Hai laughed. &Quot; I didn’t expect that to happen. But they’re right. Let’s not talk about anything else. You alone have more people than them. If they attack us, they’re just looking for death. &Quot;
Xu Wanying smiled. To be honest, he was very satisfied with his ability. On the mainland, one person could be a famous figure.
At this moment, the curtain moved slightly, and Shunyi’s figure appeared in the tent. He said to Zhao Hai in a low voice, &Quot; young master, we’ve informed lucky. They’re already prepared, but it doesn’t look too good. &Quot;
Zhao Hai thought for a moment. &Quot; let’s go out. Can we not fight this battle? otherwise, we will alarm too many people. &Quot; &Quot; Yes, sir! &Quot; Shunyi answered and closed the curtain. Mu Shi and Shi TOU walked out first, followed by Zhao Hai and Xu Wanying.
As soon as they left the tent, Zhao Hai waved the staff in his hand and a fireball with a diameter of one meter appeared above the head of the staff. Zhao Hai then directed the fireball to rise into the air, lighting up their small campsite.
The mercenaries did not expect Zhao Hai to do this. Just as they were at a loss, Zhao Hai said calmly, ” “My friends, let’s not hide anymore. Let’s have a manager talk.”
There was a commotion among the mercenaries. Then, a mercenary with a big beard walked out from the crowd. He looked at Zhao Hai and then at the fireball. He was obviously a mercenary who had been through hundreds of battles. He had extraordinary eyesight, so he knew that Zhao Hai was a 7th-tier magic caster. A 7th-tier Fire Magic caster was definitely a nightmare for these small mercenaries.
The bearded man walked forward and bowed to Zhao Hai, ” “We didn’t know that you were here. Please forgive us. We will leave immediately and not disturb your rest.”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; good, you’re good. It’s not easy for you guys to come out at night. Thousand shadows, take out 1000 gold coins and treat these brothers to a drink. &Quot;
Although Xu Wanying did not quite understand what Zhao Hai meant, he still turned around and went into the tent. There was a bag of gold coins in the tent. There were 1000 gold coins in the bag. Xu Wanying took out the bag, walked to the bearded man, and put the gold coins on the ground.
The bearded man looked at Xu Wanying and finally couldn’t help but say, ” “May I know if Mister is a thousand shadows?”
Xu Wanying looked at the man and frowned. He didn’t remember knowing this man. He couldn’t help but say, ” “You know me?”
When the man heard Xu Wanying’s words, he couldn’t help but show a panicked expression. &Quot; &Quot; so it’s really Mr. Thousand shadows. Please forgive us, Mr. Thousand shadows. We really didn’t mean to disturb you this time. &Quot;
Xu Wanying smiled. &Quot; it’s fine. This is a gift from the master. Take it and drink. He’s in a good mood today, and he’s satisfied with your performance. Otherwise, none of you will be able to go back alive. &Quot; Then, he turned around and returned to Zhao Hai’s side.
The bearded man didn’t know if he should take the money and stood there helplessly. Zhao Hai looked at the bearded man and said in a deep voice, ” “I’ll reward you with this money, but you can’t take it for free. I don’t want to be disturbed tonight, so I’ll have to trouble you to keep watch for me. Are you willing to do that?”
The big bearded man was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a happy face, ” &Quot; we’re willing, we’re willing. Please rest assured, Sir. We promise not a single mosquito will fly into your tent. &Quot;
“Alright, I’ll leave it to you guys then,” Zhao Hai said with a smile. After saying that, he turned around and went back into his tent.
Zhao Hai’s actions earned the respect of the other players in lifeline. He was too awesome. First, he used his strength to intimidate the bandits. Then, he tasted the money. He was even concerned about the bandits ‘reputation and specially hired them to keep watch. This was too awesome.
All the merchants who walked the line of life knew that it was best not to offend the bandits in lifeline Canyon. Even if you were strong, it was best not to offend them. Even if these bandits weren’t strong in combat, they had a lot of evil tricks up their sleeves.
They could harass you at night, and even if you were heavily guarded, they could still cause you losses. They could think of ways to lure magical beasts down from the mountains to attack you, and they could cause you to lose a lot of things without even having to kill a single person. It could be said that these bandits were like bugs, constantly flying around you, but you couldn’t do anything to them. Unless you could kill them all in one fell swoop, they would always be watching you. It will make you feel uncomfortable all over.
There was also another reason why these merchants didn’t want to offend the bandits that appeared in lifeline Canyon. These bandits were all connected to the guards of cold wind fortress and the warring fortress. If you went too far and the guards of cold wind fortress and warring fortress found out, they would find ways to make things difficult for you. At that time, your losses would be even greater. Therefore, most merchants would bring enough people here to make the bandits not dare to deal with them. The merchants who often came here knew the bandits. They would regularly give them some money so that the bandits would not deal with them.
Among the caravans camping at lifeline, there were a lot of people who used this route often. They could tell at a glance that Zhao Hai’s group was new and had never taken this route before. After seeing Zhao Hai’s strength, they knew that the bandits would definitely make their move tonight. Therefore, many people were watching Zhao Hai’s group to see how they would deal with this.
However, no one had expected Zhao Hai to play such a beautiful game. 1000 gold coins not only solved the crisis, but also formed a good relationship with the bandits. If he were to walk this path again in the future, the bandits would definitely give him some face.
Because of Zhao Hai’s actions, he gained a lot of attention. Those people wanted to know where this person came from. He was really good at doing things.
Nothing happened that night. When Zhao Hai woke up the next morning, he found that the thieves were still keeping watch for him. They were all very energetic.
Especially the bearded man. The moment he saw Zhao Hai, he immediately went up to him and bowed.”Sir, you’re up. We brothers should leave. Please take care, Sir. I can guarantee that in the future, as long as we see any of your family’s horses pass by, no one will come and disturb you.”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; good, you’ve worked hard. Oh, I’ll give you something else. Wood, bring two bags of war provisions. &Quot; &Quot; yes, ” blockhead replied and walked to the supply truck. He put on an act and took out two large bags of war provisions. There were a few hundred pounds, enough for these mercenaries to eat for a few meals.
Mu put the food in front of the bearded man. Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” “I used the method of the beastmen to make these battle provisions. If you want to eat them, just take out a piece, add water to the pot, and cook it. Don’t underestimate these two bags of battle provisions. They were made from the meat of four lambs. These two bags are enough for you brothers to eat three to four meals. I’ll give them to you as a small gift.”
When the bearded mercenary heard Zhao Hai, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he said with a grateful expression, ” “Thank you so much, Sir.” Although these mercenaries were not far from cold wind fortress and hundred battles fortress, they had to control the road and lay in ambush. Therefore, they usually lived in the wild and could only eat flatbread. Now that they heard Zhao Hai talk about the benefits of the war provisions, they couldn’t help but be very happy. To them, this was a rare good thing.
Zhao Hai didn’t mind. He smiled and said, ” &Quot; alright, you guys should go too. We should be on our way. &Quot; The big bearded man called two of his brothers over to carry the two bags of battle rations away. Then, he bowed to Zhao Hai and led his men away.
At this moment, Laura and the rest walked out of the tent. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, ” “This is the first time I’ve seen a robbery like this. Hehe, interesting.”
Zhao Hai didn’t seem to mind. He just smiled and said, ” “It’s not easy for them either. Forget it, let’s eat something and get ready to go.”
At this moment, Ji Li also walked over and bowed to Zhao Hai. &Quot; &Quot; thank you for last night, Sir. Her Highness asked me to thank you on her behalf. &Quot;
Zhao Hai waved his hand. &Quot; forget it, it’s a small matter. It’s not a big deal. You guys should get ready. We’ll be on our way soon. &Quot; Ghillie nodded and returned to their camp. They were about to enter the Rosen Empire’s territory.
