After nightfall, Zhang Quan led the caravan and directly entered the dense forest of Shangmiao Mountain.

The Chu family's caravan has only about a hundred people, and its strength to resist bandits is not strong, but Zhang Quan and the others are also old people in this caravan. They are experienced and cannot resist, so hide. Shangmeng Mountain is so big that they can bypass those bandits with their experience, and completely eliminate the traces behind them, leaving Shangmeng Mountain safely.

Even if the bandits sometimes find out that they are not lucky, Zhang Quan and the others will decisively throw the goods and run away.

Although those bandits robbed money and killed people, they were extremely cruel, compared to killing people, robbed money is the most important thing. So once this happens, those bandits will definitely take the goods they left behind first, and Zhang Quan and the others can also escape calmly.

It is inevitable that the caravan will encounter such a thing. As long as there is no frequent incident, the Chu family will not blame him. If you go a few more trips, you will be back.

Looking up at the sky, Zhang Quan whispered to the caravan people: "Walk another period of time, there is a big cave ahead, let's go there to rest."

But at this moment, a voice came with a laugh: "No need to leave, if you want to rest today, just have enough rest here!"

As the sound came, torches rose one by one, and the clanging sound of weapons being unsheathed came, and dense bandits around appeared in front of them.

Zhang Quan's expression suddenly changed. What's going on?

He has only been preparing to take this road recently, and there are no robbers nearby.

The most important thing is that even if he was really unlucky to meet a bandit accidentally, he could still notice a trace of movement. Moreover, these bandits clearly seemed to know their caravan route and were waiting for them here!

"run!"

Zhang Quan shouted loudly, urged the horse to turn around and run, and the rest of the managers and caravans were the same. They didn't have time to think so much.

However, it was a little different from what they expected. The qualities of these bandits were simply comparable to those of officers and soldiers. Faced with the goods they left behind, these bandits didn't even look at them and rushed towards them.

Moreover, the few of these bandits with strong martial arts skills were staring at the managers of the caravans, and the warriors of the caravans turned a blind eye to them.

Seeing that the managers in their caravan were caught up by the bandits and killed one by one, Zhang Quan couldn't help but feel anxious.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out a dagger and tucked it on the horse's buttocks. The horse neighed in pain, speeding up the speed.

But at this moment, a heavy sword flew from a distance and directly hit Zhang Quan.

Although Zhang Quan is the manager of the caravan, he has only practiced some basic skills in fisting and kicking. Over the years, he has been able to control the caravan by his own means, not martial arts.

The heavy sword hit him and subconsciously turned around and raised his arms to block it, but his arms were smashed and shattered, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and he was directly dismissed.

Behind him, Ma Kuo walked over slowly, picked up Zhang Quan, who was frightened on the ground, and whispered in his ear: "Zhang Quan, right? Mr. Chu Xiu asked me to tell you something, Manager Zhang, go all the way!"

The moment he heard this, Zhang Quan's eyes were filled with horror.

I understood, he understood everything. The second son of the Chu family actually colluded with bandits to rob and kill his caravan!

However, at this time, Zhang Quan had no time to resent or regret, because Ma Kuo had already taken out a dagger and stabbed it into Zhang Quan's chest, twisted it all, and then threw Zhang Quan, who was already struggling and extinguished, on the ground.

Ma Kuo shook the blood from the dagger and waved to the other bandits, "Go, open the goods and see how the meeting gift Mr. Chu gave us."

The next morning, a news came from inside the Chu family mansion that the Chu family's caravan was robbed and killed!

The caravan had more than 100 people, not only were all lost, but more than 20 people, but the most important thing was that none of them, including three caravan managers, escaped.

After so many years of business, the Chu family has only caused great losses at the beginning because they were not familiar with the paths of Shangmiao Mountain. However, such a thing has never happened in recent years.

In the second wife's courtyard, Chu Sheng had a gloomy look on his face: "Mom, do you think this matter will have something to do with Chu Xiu? Manager Zhang and others just offended Chu Xiu, but something happened here."

The second wife also looked gloomy and said, "I don't know, but Chu Xiu shouldn't have that courage. If the master knew about this, even if he was the master's own son, the master would have ruined him.

Besides, even if he has the courage, he doesn't have the energy. The bandits on Beishangmeng Mountain are rebellious, how could he listen to him? Last time I invited a small mountain village that was insignificant and cost 10,000 taels of silver. How could Chu Xiu get so much money?

Before there is no evidence, don't go out and talk about this matter, otherwise it will make the master unhappy."

Chu Sheng nodded, but at this time he suddenly said, "Or we would dig up all the servants of Chu Xiu and ask them if they know any clues?"

The second wife snorted coldly and said, "Chu Xiu has become much more cautious after returning from the Nanshan mining area. After returning to the Chu family, he sent him to the Nanshan mining area. Now there is no one to be found. The only one who follows him is Gao Bei.

But that man was his confidant. Since Chu Xiu kept him by his side, he would not be afraid of us coming to dig it out."

Chu Sheng's face showed a hint of unwillingness. His opponent was Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, but unexpectedly, Chu Xiu suddenly appeared and caused him a considerable loss.

The second wife waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't complain. The master asked you to discuss matters later. Say what should be said, and don't say what should not be said."

Chu Sheng nodded, turned around and walked out.

The caravan was not big or small, but because such a thing had not happened for many years, it also alarmed Chu Zongguang and brought some managers and Chu Xiu and others to listen.

In the conference hall, Chu Xiu sat upright there with no expression on his face, but Chu Sheng occasionally glanced at Chu Xiu, not knowing what he was thinking.

The caravan members below who escaped death still spoke with horror on their faces, but unfortunately they had nothing valuable.

They didn't even know the other party's bandits and didn't see their appearance. The bandits killed them when they saw them. They were just rushing to escape, so how could they care about these things?

Chu Zongguang waved his hand slightly irritated and said, "Okay, okay, I'll remember all the lessons this time. Be careful next time, let's go, I'll go back to seclusion."

At this time, Chu Xiu suddenly stood up and said, "My father, the caravan has no leader at the moment. I am willing to lead the caravan to Shangmiao Mountain again."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, including the three brothers Chu Xiu.

Since the Chu family established a family in Tongzhou Prefecture, in addition to some open and secret battles with other family forces, the second most died in the caravan.

Just like this time, if you are not lucky, you foresee the bandits, so whether you can survive depends on your luck.

Therefore, even if Chu Sheng and his team manage the caravan, they never follow the caravan. At most, they are responsible for allocating caravan goods, etc.

Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "What trouble did you make up with? You have no experience at all, how did you lead the caravan?"

Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "The caravan is panic now. If there is no one with enough weight to lead, when will they set off again?

Other things can be delayed, but my Chu family’s pharmacy cannot be delayed. Some medicines in the pharmacy will be out of stock if they are not purchased.

As the direct descendant of the Chu family, the child should take the lead and inspire people, so he asked his father to allow him.”

Chu Zongguang frowned. He seemed to have never expected Chu Xiu to be so enlightened.

But after thinking about it, he still said, "Then go and be careful."

Chu Xiu bowed his hand and walked out in the puzzled eyes of others.

The other three Chu Xiu's brothers didn't care about him. They wouldn't do such thankless things and even dangerous things for free.

Before, the caravans were all gathered in a small courtyard, and dozens of people were dejected and pointed at by the Chu family members who were coming and going.

It was said that this time they were indeed cowardly. They were robbed as soon as they entered the mountain. The things were not saved and many people died. Some people even became afraid and did not dare to go to the caravan anymore.

Chu Xiu walked in separately from the crowd. The group of people were also listless. Only a few people stood up and bowed to Chu Xiu Gong, "I have seen the second young master."

He glanced at everyone and Chu Xiu said, "Everyone is packed, the caravan sets off again and heads to Yan State."

When the people heard this, they immediately became anxious and someone said, "Second Young Master, we have just had something to do, so we have to cultivate for a while and think of a countermeasure before leaving? What if we get into the mountain and get robbed by bandits?"

The people from other caravans also agreed, and they were really scared.
