On May 6th, 183 AD, Han Fei began his first long journey. Looking back, the walls of Luoyang were more than 200 feet tall, and they were like huge objects lying on the boundless horizon. Who knew that the political, economic, and cultural center of the Eastern Han Dynasty would be burned down in the near future?
Those high-ranking officials, nobles, and wealthy families were still living in a drunken stupor, while Han Fei and Han Zijin were fighting hard for the Yellow Turban Rebellion a year later. Using the horse carriage as a substitute for foot strength, they traveled very quickly on the post road. They passed Nanyang County the next day.
"Lord, Xinye County is not far ahead. Are we going to stay there?”Zhou Shan asked. He had worked in the previous trading company for more than ten years and had walked this path a few times.
There were more than 40 people following Han Fei on this trip. They were divided into several carriages, and these horses were rented by Lu Zhan. "Xinye County?" Qin Feng looked at the sky." Is there no other place to stay in Xinye County?"”
"Yes, but we have to pass through a mountain called Sleeping Horse Mountain. A few years ago, a group of mountain bandits occupied it.”Zhou Shan voiced his worries.
"We don't have any goods either. If we speed up and cross over, we'll just make it in time.”Time was of the essence for Han Fei. As long as they had a large amount of money on hand, they would be able to form a team as soon as the useless Spirit Monarch gave the order.
Along the way, there were endless fields everywhere. If it was in the future, it would definitely be endless farmland, but in this big man, it was almost all wilderness. The small population was one thing, but the most important thing was the low productivity. Apart from the few passersby around the village and city, Han Fei's team was particularly eye-catching.
"My lord, we will enter Xiangyang in a few dozen miles. Xiangyang City is a large city, and it is very prosperous compared to our Luoyang City.”After rushing for nearly a day, Zhou Shan was afraid that Han Fei would be bored, so he said.
"Chengdu, Chang 'an, Luoyang, Ye City, Xiangyang, Jianye. Other than Jianye, the other places are also big cities.”Han Fei recalled some things in the future. If he wanted to build a new force in the game, he would choose to build a city if it was empty.
"My lord is right." In Zhou Shan's opinion, the young Han Fei was simply omniscient. Presumably, those great sages were only so-so. The lord is so young, his future is limitless. Zhou Shan knew that his lord could be said to have started from scratch. As long as this business trip went smoothly, a new wealthy family would definitely appear in Luoyang. Then, he, who had followed his lord from the bottom of the world…Zhou Shan remembered his mother's words and calmed his impetuous heart. No matter what happened in the future, he had to be loyal.
"Eh, what happened to the group of people in front? Why are you so flustered?" It was almost dusk. Just as Han Fei was about to say that he was looking for a place to stay in the Zhou Mountains, a dozen or so people ran over while shouting.
As he spoke, he ran a distance away.
"Run, run!"
"The mountain bandits of Sleeping Horse Mountain are here!"
"Mountain bandits?" Han Fei was shocked. To him, this mountain bandit had only been heard of.
"Not good, everyone stop the car and turn around!”Zhou Shan, who was sitting in front of the carriage, pulled the reins. The horse, Xilulu, let out a loud cry and stopped in its tracks. The other carriages stopped one after another, and the people hurriedly turned their horses around in panic.
"Hahaha…I didn't expect to find a fat sheep after chasing a group of small fish. Brothers, charge!" Three mountain bandit leaders on horseback rushed over and blocked Han Fei and the others 'path. Soon after, nearly a hundred bandits armed with sabers and spears surrounded him.
Han Fei panicked. The journey had been very smooth for the past few days. He did not expect to encounter mountain bandits here. What should he do?
"My lord, just say that I am the leader. I only hope that my lord can treat my mother well…”Zhou Shan made up his mind and said.
"What do you want!" Han Fei shouted. Zhou Shan was touched and anxious when he saw that he did not take his suggestion.
"Hahaha…call out the person in charge.”The leader of the bandits waved his Zhanmadao and shouted arrogantly.
"I am!" When Han Fei saw the shining broadsword, more than a hundred people's eyes were vicious and their faces were ferocious. Their hands and feet were trembling.
"You're the kid. You have delicate skin and tender flesh. I wonder which wealthy family's fat sheep you are.”The bandit leader lifted his horse and walked over. Whoosh. The Zhanmadao landed on Han Fei's shoulder, and the sweat on his head instantly dripped down.
"Hahaha…" Seeing Han Fei's smug expression, the bandit leader smiled and said,""Do you want money or your life?"
"Boss, it looks like you've misunderstood. We came from the north to attack Jiaozhou. They were all poor commoners. How could they have any money?”Han Fei hurriedly said.
"Breaking into Jiaozhou?"
"Yes, I heard that the land of the south is fertile and rich in resources. Whatever is planted in the land will grow. It can be harvested many times a year and can also fish for a living. We can't survive in the north, so we'll go to the south to try our luck. We're all poor people, so why make things difficult for us, Boss…”Han Fei said with a pitiful look.
The bandit leader was stunned. Xu Er was furious and shouted,""You dare to bluff me? Looks like you won't cry until you see the coffin. Brothers, show them what you're made of.”
The bandits shouted and dragged a few people down from the carriage. These people were all poor people in Luoyang. They had never seen such a scene before. They were crying and peeing. "Fault, hurry up and hand over your belongings.”
"Boss, we really don't have any money…”Han Fei was shocked. If this money was taken by these people, the development plan he had set would die in infancy.
"Looks like you want money more than your life.”
"Big Brother Han, save us…!”A few people who were captured by the bandits cried out in fear, and the rest were also afraid.
A few shiny sabers were raised high. As long as they fell, their heads would be separated. Han Fei could not bear it and shouted,"Wait a minute, Zhou Shan, give them the money."”
"My lord!" Zhou Shan was anxious. If he gave this money to these bandits, his business would be over.
"If I give it to them, everyone will follow me, Han Fei, and become my brothers. Money is a worldly possession. I will never lose my brothers 'lives for money. Money is not important. What is important is that you are my brothers.”Han Fei looked at everyone and said.
"Big Brother Han…" Everyone was touched.
The chest was filled with hundreds of strings of money, and the bandits were all beaming with joy when they saw it. "Hahaha, you dare to lie to us? Didn't you say you don't have money?”The bandit leader treated human lives like grass. Once he got the money, he revealed his fierce expression and shouted,"Brothers, kill all these people!”With a cold flash, the Zhanmadao in his hand went straight for Han Fei's neck.
My life is over! Han Fei saw the Zhanmadao coming down on him and was about to close his eyes and wait for death.
"Thieves, how dare you!" With a furious roar, a long spear reached out from the side. The tip of the spear accurately hit the blade of the Zhanmadao. With a crisp clang, the Zhanmadao was pushed back with sparks flying everywhere.
"Die!" With another shout, the long spear shot out like a snake and expanded by more than seven feet, piercing a hole in the bandit's chest on the spot.
The moment the bandit was shot, his entire body became alert. He looked at the spear in front of his chest in disbelief and fell off his horse, dying on the spot.
He was saved! It was just an instant, but Han Fei felt as if a century had passed. Who saved me? He quickly turned around and saw a young man in white riding a majestic white horse. He was more than eight feet tall and held a silver spear in his hand. He had a handsome face and a pair of sharp eyebrows.
