Chapter 26 The Treasure Thief Group Played Between the Palms

The most convenient and fastest way to transport goods from Qingcezhuang to Liyue Port is to go in the direction of Wangshu Inn, go straight through Guiliyuan, and go to Liyue Port through Liyue Official Road.

Although the reason for the departure is its own historical reasons, treasure stealing groups have been popular since ancient times, but after years of suppression by Liyue Seven Stars, it has now converged a lot. At least most of the merchants coming from Mondstadt will choose this path.

This batch of silk from Qingce Village also went through the official route for the first time, but the stolen treasure group made my scalp numb...

The second time, they chose to find another way, cross the river by water, and then transport it to Liyue through the mountain road.

This road is long and troublesome, but it is better than being secretive.

This thought continued until the treasure thieves appeared in front of them fully armed and snatched away the silk after a disagreement.

This third time...

They are still prepared to take the official route.

Before Xingqiu came, they had even mentally expected to be robbed again. As for why they chose the official road... it was just because after being robbed on this road, they could get to Liyue Port faster.

.

They were going to be robbed anyway, so it would be better to show off on the spot, which would save trouble.

Of course... things will be different after Xingqiu joins.

The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce behind this young master has business contacts with many people in Qingce Village. If they are offended, I'm afraid there will be no good fruits in the future.

...

When the caravan arrived at a low-lying intersection in Guiliyuan, the guards instantly became nervous, and all of them took up arms, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

As soon as Xingqiu took a look, he knew that this place was probably where the dream began.

Um...

It is flat in the middle, high on all sides, and has only one road extending forward... No matter from every aspect, this place is indeed suitable for an ambush.

But... hum, things are not that simple.

When the guards saw Xingqiu's indifferent expression, their hearts gradually relaxed.

Since this young master is so calm, he must be fully prepared, right?

Soon, the caravan passed through this area.

Not to mention the treasure thief group, not even a single person was seen.

The guards were also very surprised that they passed through the most dangerous place so smoothly.

However, the matter was not over yet, and they were reluctant to speak. They just concentrated on it and raised their spirits to the fullest.

——Until they successfully reached Liyue Port and successfully delivered the goods.

Yes, we neither encountered a treasure-stealing group nor encountered any natural disasters, and the journey went surprisingly smoothly.

I, have we really delivered the goods?

Until Xingqiu started to remind them that it was time to return to Qingce Village, the guards were in disbelief.

"Haha... maybe those people's ability to foresee and foresight has disappeared, and their conscience has discovered it?"

Xingqiu just left these words and left alone.

The guards were confused, but the result was good, so they didn't pay much attention. After thanking the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, they also embarked on the road back to Qingce Village.

...

Conscience discovery?

Not to mention guards, even Xingqiu himself didn't believe this statement.

After bringing the caravan completely to Liyue Port, Xingqiu walked non-stop towards another road - the direction of Tianheng Mountain.

Although it is hidden here, there is a very ancient trade road. And this road is the road that the caravan chose for the second time.

Half an hour ago, the treasure thieves arrived at this place under the instruction of "intelligence" and set up an extremely tight defense here.

However... after waiting for nearly an hour and watching the sun begin to set, they did not wait for the caravan.

"Boss, boss, is our intelligence wrong? Could it be that the caravan from Qingce Village took this route?"

Among the treasure thieves, a thin member spoke hesitantly.

Hearing this, a strong man standing in the middle gave the thin member a hammer, and then said fiercely: "Impossible! When has there ever been a problem with the information they gave us? Didn't we all eat well the first two times?

The bowl is full?"

"yes..."

The thin man was innocently hit and felt a little aggrieved: "But those people never came. According to the intelligence, it's almost their delivery time now, right?"

After hearing this, the boss of the treasure thief group took a look at the sky and found that the sun was indeed tending to set, and he was a little undecided for a moment.

Although the clues given by those weirdos are strange, they are extremely accurate every time... and every time they rob the goods, they are divided into 30-70. They only take a mere 30%, and their sincerity has always been very sufficient...

Last time, the boss used intelligence to accurately tell the color of the underwear of those members of the escort team. Seeing those people scared out of their wits, he got great satisfaction.

It is precisely for this reason that he trusts those weirdos who are unwilling to show their faces.

"...Is it possible that I was really deceived?"

After coming back to his senses, the boss of the treasure-stealing group's expression kept changing, and his thoughts kept diverging.

"Boss, why don't we evacuate first? This place doesn't look good..."

At this time, the thin man from before looked around and spoke again.

The location they chose to ambush the caravan was a small valley, low in the middle and high on all sides, suitable for blocking a road.

Frankly speaking, this is the most ideal area if you want to intercept merchants.

but...

If someone wanted to ambush the merchants who were ambushing them below... that would be very easy.

When the boss of the treasure thief group heard what his younger brother said, his heart skipped a beat. He also knew that it was not advisable to keep this for a long time, but when he thought of the valuable batch of exquisite silks, he felt that he could not give up on this matter.

"Don't be that crow-mouthed. We are the only ones who ambush others, but no one has ever ambush us!"

Turning his head, the boss of the treasure stealing group scolded his younger brother severely, shaking his face with anger, which seemed to calm the tension in his heart.

It was at this time.

Squeak————

A sound similar to that of a carriage came from afar, and the treasure thieves at the scene became energetic.

The goods are here!

"Brothers, get ready!"

The leader of the treasure-stealing group was even more beaming. Listening to the thick voice, it seemed as if what was coming in front of him was not a carriage, but boxes after boxes of molas.

In fact... what came was indeed not a carriage.

The sound gradually came closer, and the object came into the eyes of the treasure thieves.

Well...at first glance, there are wheels! Look carefully...it seems that there are no horses, so how does it move?

oh!

It wasn't until this behemoth rolled over that they suddenly realized - what kind of carriage was this? It was a weapon used to charge into the battle!

"ah----"

boom!

As the heavy objects fell to the ground and the treasure thieves' screams rang out, the position they had set up tightly fell into chaos in an instant.

It was at this time that two figures appeared on the high ground on both sides.

"Hmm... Not bad, the effect is very good."

Looking at the dizzy group of treasure thieves below, Xingqiu was very satisfied.

"Thank you very much, Master Xingqiu, for your help. If it weren't for you, we would probably have suffered their consequences again this time."

The other strong man turned out to be Feng Jun, who had never appeared.

At the same time, a voice came from below: "Master Xingqiu, they have all fainted. Do they need to be tied up?"

Looking down, I found that there were seven or eight people standing below, waving to Xingqiu.

Xingqiu nodded towards them, then looked at Feng Jun and said, "Let's go down and get all those silks back."

"good!"

Feng Jun, a strong man, was also unambiguous. He would do anything as long as he could get the silk back from Qingce Village.

Seeing Feng Jun's appearance, Xingqiu also shook his head in amusement.

It's very simple. It's just a treasure-stealing group, and a little trick is enough.

That's right, Xingqiu can't bring a large number of people to Qingce Village, because that will alert the enemy.
Chapter completed!
