Chapter Eleven: Thirty-six Giant Bandits in the North
With the knife on his neck, Ma Kuo couldn't do it even if he didn't want to calm down.
He waved his hand directly, asked the others to put down their weapons, and looked directly at Chu Xiu and said, "Tell me, how did you know our origin?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "You guessed that the master of Mazhai is good at kung fu, and he is not born in a wild way at first glance. And judging from your behavior, although you are like bandits, they are prohibited, and there is no ordinary bandits' scattered meaning.
In addition, the last time you said the word Qilian by the leader of the Ma Village, which is even more suspicious. The words bandits and Qilian are associated with each other. I really can’t think of anything else except the Qilian Iron Cavalry among the 36 giant bandits in the north.”
Ma Kuo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "Damn it, I don't control my mouth in my feelings."
In fact, although Chu Xiu said that he was relying on these details to observe, he was able to confirm the other party's identity because the original plot mentioned the news about the 36 giant bandits in the North.
It is a bandit in small fights, but when the bandits develop to the extreme, they are giant bandits, giant bandits that rob the world!
The three powerful countries in the world, Northern Yan, Eastern Qi and Western Chu, are almost the same now, but decades ago, Northern Yan was extremely weak and was attacked by Eastern Qi and Western Chu. They could not control the outside world, let alone the inside.
In the troubled times, the heroes emerged. In the northern part of Yan State, bandits grew rapidly and became the thirty-six giant bandits in the former north. They were extremely powerful and even dared to plunder the Northern Yan court and the great sects in the martial arts world.
However, later the Northern Yan rose again, and the 36 giant bandits in the north also provoked the Great Northern Yan martial arts sect, the Great Northern Piaoxuecheng, and was defeated by the Northern Yan court and the Great Northern Piaoxuecheng. The leader of the 36 giant bandits was killed and the scattered were no longer in a state of chaos.
In the original plot, there is news that the remnants of the thirty-six giant bandits in the north appeared in Wei County. It is precisely because of this news that Chu Xiu dared to confirm the identities of Ma Kuo and the others.
Chu Xiu took the knife away and said lightly: "I know the background of the Ma Village Master, but I didn't promote it. Now the Ma Village Master should know my sincerity, right?"
Ma Kuo rubbed his neck and muttered, "Your knife is indeed very fast, but if the distance is farther, I will not give you a chance to get close!"
After showing off his strength, Ma Kuo asked: "What do you want to trade with my boss? Tell me first that the same is true."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I know the whereabouts of Pang Hu, the leader of the Qilian Iron Cavalry among your thirty-six giant bandits, the 'Red-faced Heavenly King'! I wonder if this news is enough to trade it?"
Ma Kuo was shocked when he heard this and shouted: "Do you really know the whereabouts of the boss? Didn't you lie to me?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "When you take me to see the one behind you, he will naturally be able to tell whether what I said is true or false. Besides, I dare not lie there," he said.
Ma Kuo thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you go with me. My boss is on the side of Beishang Mang Mountain. It will take several days to get there."
Shangmeng Mountain was originally not divided into north and south, but it was just a mountain range. However, the mountain range in the middle was slightly smaller, and Tongzhou Prefecture was in the center, so it was called Beishangmeng Mountain and Nanshangmeng Mountain by locals in Wei County.
The convenient location where Chu Xiu is now located is Nanshang Mang Mountain, which leads to the Nanshan mining area, while Beishang Mang Mountain is located north of Tongzhou Prefecture and leads to Yan State.
Ma Kuo took Chu Xiu all the way to Beishangmang Mountain. It took him five days to take a small road before he arrived at Beishangmang Mountain.
In Beishangmeng Mountain, a large-scale mountain village appeared in front of Chu Xiu. There were tall buildings and arrow towers around it. It looked much more formal than Ma Kuo's small mountain village.
Ma Kuo explained: "After coming to Wei County, my eldest son established a copycat here, but just in case, we still have a small group of people distributed outside, just like my small copycat."
Ma Kuo blew a few strange whistles, and immediately walked over and bowed to Ma Kuo and said, "Boss Ma, why are you back today? Who is this kid?"
Ma Kuo said: "A familiar, I will take him to see the boss first."
The bandits just nodded and didn't care. It was obvious that Ma Kuo had enough prestige here, at least worthy of the trust of these bandits.
After arranging Chu Xiu in a living room, Ma Kuo left directly, obviously going to find the one behind him.
Chu Xiu was not in a hurry and just drank tea there quietly. After a while, Ma Kuo walked in with a tall and mighty man in his thirties, with a leopard head and a round eyes.
This man's strength is much stronger than Chu Xiu, and he has reached the blood coagulation realm. In Chu Xiu's opinion, the other party has even reached the peak of the blood coagulation realm, and he is only one step away from entering the innate realm.
The man looked at Chu Xiu and a fierce aura came to his face. He said in a deep voice: "You said you know the whereabouts of the boss?"
Ma Kuo hurriedly said: "This is Han Bao, Boss Han, and one of the personal guards of the former boss."
Chu Xiu stood up and bowed and said, "That's right, Chu Xiu has seen Boss Han."
Han Bao waved his hand directly and snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, say, what do you want. Of course, you don't want to say a lion, otherwise I can even pry out the news of the boss from you!"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Boss Han, don't scare me. Actually, I didn't plan to trade this news at the beginning. Now I will tell you about it as a meeting gift.
As far as I know, after being seriously injured by the people of the Northern Yan court, Pang Hu's boss had already hid in the barren mountains and forests of Liaodong County, the northern part of Liaodong County, and was recovering his strength and trying to make a comeback."
Chu Xiu did not lie to them. After the later generations, Pang Hu, the "Red-faced King", really brought some trouble to the Northern Yan court after he recovered his strength. Unfortunately, it was just a little trouble and was easily solved by the Northern Yan court.
Han Bao asked in confusion: "You didn't lie to me? There were people from the Far North Piaoxue City who participated in the extermination of my thirty-six giant bandits. Far North Piaoxue City is in the north, will the boss continue to stay in the north?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "The deserted mountains and dense forests in Liaodong are deserted. Neither the Snow City of the North nor the Northern Yan court will enter it, and only some herbicide collectors will enter occasionally.
The head of Pang Hu just wants to restore his strength, not to develop his power. This kind of place is perfect.
Besides, you must have heard of the truth that darkness is under the light. Even you own people would never have imagined that the boss of Pang Hu would stay in the north, and the imperial court and the Piaoxuecheng in the far north could not have imagined it even more.
If Boss Han doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Liaodong County in person. There must be a secret code left to you by the boss Pang Hu. From here, you can get there in more than a month."
After hearing this, Han Bao looked slightly slower and bowed to Chu Xiugong and said, "If I can really find the boss, I, Han Bao, have you accepted this love. Tell me, what do you want?"
Chu Xiu didn't say what he wanted, he asked back, "What will Boss Han do when he finds Pang Hu's boss?"
Han Bao said for granted: "Of course I'll take the people from the village to join the boss."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "This is a bad thing. Boss Han and Pang Hu are now recuperating. You will have no effect when you go to him. Instead, your actions will increase the danger of exposing the boss. So I can guarantee that after the person you sent will meet the boss, the boss will definitely let you stay in Weijun for the time being and obey his orders.
So what you have to do now is to accumulate money, food, cultivate resources in Wei County, and prepare for the resurgence of the boss in the future."
Han Bao's eyes turned. He was a rough man. When he was following Pang Hu, he was just an ordinary personal guard, only loyalty and bravery.
But he is not an idiot. Although Chu Xiu said it nicely, he would not just believe what Chu Xiu, an outsider said.
Han Bao asked directly: "Boy Chu Xiu, what do you want for me so much? Although your Chu family is only in Tongzhou Prefecture, it is also a local dominance. You don't want to join me as a thirty-six giant bandits in the north, right?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "What I want is very simple. I don't want to deal with you, Boss Han, but cooperate, long-term cooperation."
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?"
Chu Xiu pointed to Shangmeng Mountain outside and said, "Wei County is a three-no matter area. Northern Yan ruled Wei County in name but not real, so bandits were rampant in Wei County. Even if there were dozens of bandits in Shangmeng Mountain, there might be dozens of bandits in Shangmeng Mountain.
However, these bandits did a little too much, robbing money and killing their lives, and showed no mercy to the caravans coming and going."
Han Bao sneered: "We are bandits, they are caravans, why are they merciful to them?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "But because of this, those caravans either simply did not take the path of Shangmiao Mountain and instead took the main road. Although it was time-consuming, it was safe.
Or arrange a large number of guards to accompany the bandits, making it impossible for the bandits to start. This situation will increase and increase, which will lead to less and less bandits in the Shangmiao Mountain."
Han Bao frowned when he heard this. There were special people to make suggestions on the scale of the 36 giant gangs in the north in the past. He had never considered these things. Han Bao couldn't help but ask, "What should I do?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "No rules can lead to a square. Without rules, we will make rules! The caravans can enter and exit Shangmeng Mountain at will, but they have to pay a portion of their money. After Han takes the money, he can take the initiative to escort the caravan away from Shangmeng Mountain. Anyone who wants to make the caravan's idea is to be an enemy of you, Boss Han.
When the rules are set, your reputation will spread, and the caravans that come and go will take the initiative to pay you money."
Han Bao thought for a while and said, "Will I be enemies of the bandits in the entire Shangmiao Mountain?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "It is enough to have a sound in the entire Shangmiao Mountain. Does Boss Han have no confidence in dealing with those mobs?"
Han Bao grinned and said, "Of course there is! If I hadn't been injured now, I would have solved those wastes."
Chu Xiu glanced at Han Bao in surprise. It seemed that this person's strength should be innate when he was at its peak, but he was misunderstood.
