On an official road in Korea, a caravan carrying many goods was slowly moving.
" Little Liu, your driving skills have improved. There were no bumps along the way," another older man said with a smile.
" Sigh, it's been three years. Speaking of which, there were quite a few things that happened in these three years." The man surnamed Hong took out the wine jug at his waist. He opened the lid of the wine jug, and a cool and sweet smell spread out from it. At the same time, there was an obvious hissing sound.
"Big Brother Hong, you're too cunning. When did you collect Sprite? You actually didn't tell me!"
" Humph, what do you know? Sprite is extremely expensive. Ever since it suddenly appeared in Korea three years ago, it has spread throughout the seven countries in less than a month. The price has been rising steadily. Now, it's like golden liquid. I bought this pot with half a year's salary. How can I let anyone drink it?" The burly man grabbed his wine pot tightly, as if he would never let anyone drink it.
Seeing the big man's narrow-minded appearance, Xiao Liuzi felt helpless and said,"" Sigh…When can I have a sip of Sprite? I really envy you, Brother Hong!"
"What's there to be envious about? I've also saved up for so long before I could buy a jug of it. Those nobles in the palace who can drink this wine every day are the ones who make me envious." The burly man surnamed Hong took another sip, and the enjoyment on his face was overflowing with words."Speaking of which, in these three years, other than this Sprite wine, there is another thing that has spread widely. It is said that it has also affected the seven countries."
" I know about this, Big Brother Hong. Is it the so-called number method that the scholarly faction has spread?" Little Sixth smiled.
" Hahaha, that's right, that's the one. The Confucians are indeed the most knowledgeable school among the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. After the leader of our merchant group found out about it, he laughed for several days and praised the Confucians for using this number method. In the future, it will save a lot of effort to settle accounts for goods," the burly man said.
" The scholarly faction is truly amazing. I really wonder which expert in the scholarly faction created this number method. It must be a knowledgeable old man." Little Six's face was filled with admiration as he imagined the appearance of the expert who created this number method.
Just as Little Six was lost in his thoughts, a giant tree suddenly fell not far ahead of the caravan. The trunk of the tree was more than one meter thick, cutting off the entire official road.
" Ah! Be careful! Stop! There's an accident on the main road!" The burly man shouted in fear. The entire caravan was in an uproar. The people driving the carriage immediately tried their best to control the horses. Fortunately, they were not moving very fast. They stopped just before they hit the trees. Everyone was so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat.
" Hahahaha, good timing. This road has been blocked by our brothers. Useless merchants, if you don't want to die, leave your goods behind and scram." A hoarse and arrogant laughter came from the side of the official road. The people in the caravan were horrified to find that dozens of brawny men with bare arms and sabers had suddenly appeared around them.
" This is bad. We've encountered robbers." The burly man's face turned pale when he saw the group of people. He had not expected so many robbers to appear on the usually safe public road at this critical moment.
These bandits were all muscular and looked at the merchants with fierce eyes. Some of them even deliberately held a knife to their lips, making some young men who had just joined the merchant group tremble in fear. In this era, there were chaotic disputes. Even if they killed someone, there was no legal action.
" What are you robbers trying to do? This place is not far from the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng. Aren't you afraid that South Korea will send troops to exterminate you?" The burly man pulled out a large knife from the carriage with a pale face and shouted fiercely.
A middle-aged man with hair all over his body and a ferocious expression stood on the big tree. Clearly, this person was the leader of this group of bandits. Looking at the burly man, this person smiled disdainfully and said,"It's not far from Xin Zheng. Are you trying to scare me? Isn't there still some distance? If you resist, we'll kill all of you. No one will stand up for you. We've already killed many people."
"If you want to pass through here, you have to leave behind money. Otherwise, you have to leave your life behind. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."
The surrounding robbers burst into laughter, like a pack of wolves looking at a group of fat sheep that was about to be eaten.
The burly man was struggling. This batch of goods was worth a lot. If they lost it like this, it would be a huge blow to their business group. However, this group of robbers looked ferocious and unstoppable. If they fought head-on, they might lose not only the goods but also their lives.
Just as the burly man was caught in a dilemma, an extremely swift figure suddenly appeared. A slight sound of wind sounded in the air, followed by two cold lights flashing.
"Puchi ~""Puchi ~"
" It wasn't easy for you to find your prey. Same here. I've been waiting on this road for three days to find you bandits." A young man's voice rang out. A blue-haired, blue-eyed young man stood there with a cold sword in his hand.
Zhang Xuan was indifferent. His gaze swept over this group of bandits and immediately smiled." Three third-rate experts of Wujo, one second-rate expert of Shichijo, and the rest of them are trash with only one internal force. They're passable and can be used as practice for me. I've waited for so long, but it's not in vain."
Zhang Xuan's sudden appearance stunned everyone. The robbers looked at their two dead accomplices and locked their eyes on Zhang Xuan. However, Zhang Xuan's self-confidence and arrogance made these robbers, who had successfully robbed countless times, furious.
