Chapter 41 Nine Desolate Villages

It was getting dark.

The weather is not beautiful tonight, dark clouds cover the whole sky, it seems that a heavy rain is coming.

On the wasteland.

A huge caravan is moving forward.

The caravan is protected by horses holding sharp knives at the front and back, and a carriage in the middle.

"It should be raining tonight. We have a lot of food in the carriage and we can't see the water. Let me know and go to Jiuhuangzhai to take shelter."

Near the carriage, Xu Sheng rode on the horse and said to the horse steward next to him.

"Well, I see, I'll do it now!"

Manager Ma responded and began to make arrangements.

Not for a while.

The horse team began to change direction and headed in another direction.

The sky became more and more dull, and sporadic thunder began to sound in the sky from time to time.

at last.

When the raindrops began to fall, the horse team came to a stockade.

Jiuhuangzhai.

This is a gathering place for people who live in the wilderness and herd horses and sheep.

This kind of place is also a good place for caravans to take shelter in rainy days.

"Who is it? Report your name, why are you here!"

The huge team of Xu Sheng and others had already alarmed the people in the village when they came close.

The gate of the stockade has been tightly closed, and the wooden walls on both sides of the stockade are already full of people holding various weapons.

Compared with the residents living in the city, the residents in these barren villages are almost all soldiers.

They have survived the banditry all year round, and their combat effectiveness is not low.

Among them, the Nine Desolate Villages are even more famous among the desolate villages in the border towns.

Strange to say.

Jiuhuangzhai and Shacheng are not far from each other.

But among all the border towns, Shacheng can almost be said to be the weakest and poorest city.

But Jiuhuangzhai is different.

Although the area is adjacent to Shacheng, the strength of Jiuhuangzhai is top among all the deserted villages.

There are rumors that Huan Jiuzhen, the owner of Jiuhuangzhai, already possesses the strength of the eighth rank.

Otherwise, it would not have established a village near Heisha village without being wiped out.

Of course, everything is a rumor, and no one has confirmed this rumor.

"I'm waiting for the caravan of Xu's Trading Company. I met your village owner some time ago. She promised that our caravan can enter Guizhai to rest in the future!"

Xu Sheng did not step forward, but shouted loudly surrounded by many subordinates.

According to etiquette, Xu Sheng should have stepped forward to negotiate.

But it was a relatively peaceful city.

In the wilderness, all etiquette is useless.

Only strength is the most important.

Those who can walk on the wilderness are either capable, or they are ruthless people who are hunted down by several sects in Mobei and wander around.

These people, the favorite is the past caravan.

Generally speaking, whether it is a caravan coming or going, it must have a lot of money and silver on it.

Therefore, they occasionally appear as horse bandits.

Even the people in the deserted village are the same.

The reason why they are not accepted by the city is that most of them have been horse bandits.

This kind of existence that affects public security, unless it is a short-term residence, is basically impossible to live in the city for a long time.

Therefore, Xu Sheng has always been wary of these people.

He was also worried that if he stepped forward, if there was an arrow from the dark, or if someone had bad intentions and planned to capture the thief first, then the loss would outweigh the gain.

To be honest, Xu Sheng really didn't want to come to this kind of place if he wasn't afraid that the rain would spoil the food ordered by Tianxiahui.

But, there is no way, businessmen, what they pay attention to is integrity.

The Xu family has been relying on this to walk the rivers and lakes.

It is said that the good food will be shipped to the bad ones.

Not to mention what the world would say, Xu Sheng himself would feel offended.

Therefore, he could only take the risk of coming here to rest for one night to avoid the rain.

Fortunately, he had thought before that if he took this path, he would inevitably encounter the situation tonight.

Therefore, he greeted all the deserted villages on this road.

Although Xu's firm has only taken root in the border town not long ago, it has many allies by virtue of its unique business method.

Even the major barren villages, some have become their collaborators.

Once the different forces were engaged by the middleman Xu's Commercial Bank, a translucent joint force appeared in the border town and even in Mobei.

Therefore, anyone who has some knowledge will not tamper with the things of Xu's firm.

Of course, it's another story for those who don't have long eyes.

The worst thing in this world is a person without eyes.

They can only see the huge amount of supplies transported by Xu's firm each time.

And the white flowers and silver that I bring back every time I go back.

Driven by profit, there are never fewer people who take risks.

but.

These people will not include these deserted villages.

After all, the deserted village is different from the horse bandits.

Most people know the location of the deserted village.

If you offend big forces.

Then unless they abandon the deserted village they have been running for a long time and become horse bandits wandering the wasteland, otherwise, they will not be able to escape at all.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xu! I said who made such a big fight!"

A head popped out of the wooden wall.

is a woman.

However, this woman is different from ordinary women.

She was tall, stronger than a man, and the big brass ring on her nose stood out in the light of the torches.

It was such a man who was as strong as a cow, but his voice was slender and full of temptation.

That kind of strong contrast makes people feel disgusted in their hearts.

but.

Feeling sick.

You have to hold back too.

No one in the border town knows that the owner of Jiuhuang Village, Jiuzhen, hates others to laugh at her the most.

If she finds out, just wait for the sledgehammer to come!
"Jiuzhen Zhaizhu is polite, the weather is changing, I wonder if I can count on what I discussed with Zhaizhu last time?"

Xu Sheng bowed to Huan Jiuzhen from afar and said.

"Okay! Come in!"

Huan Jiuzhen responded.

"Open the gate!"

Following Huan Jiuzhen's voice, the gate of the village was slowly opened.

Xu Sheng led the team in, and under the arrangement of Huanjiuzhen, he began to drive the carriage into the wooden shed for shelter from the rain in Jiuhuangzhai.

"Master Xu, my village master invites you to come over!"

The arrangement was almost finished, and someone from Jiuhuangzhai came to inform Xu Sheng.

"Okay, please wait a moment, brother, I will arrange it first."

Xu Sheng responded and came to the side of Manager Ma.

"You and Chief Wu are guarding here, explain to me, be careful."

After explaining to Manager Ma, he followed the man from Jiuhuangzhai who came to deliver the message to a courtyard that looked very elegant.

Xu Sheng visited this yard last time.

That's where he met Huan Jiuzhen at that time.

"Mr. Xu, you are here, please sit down!"

As soon as you enter the house in the courtyard.

In the brightly lit room, Huan Jiuzhen greeted him.

Besides her, there is another person in this room.

The man sat in front of the candle, blocking the candlelight, so Xu Sheng couldn't see his face clearly.

"I have troubled the Lord of Jiuzhen Village this time, and I will definitely offer a great gift someday in return for this kindness."

Xu Sheng clasped his fists in salute.

"Be polite, be polite, it's just a trivial matter!"

Although the voice is like that of a delicate and weak woman, Huan Jiuzhen still has a very strong aura of the sons and daughters of the world.

She knows almost everything about the rules of the world.
