Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 27 Encountering Bandits

Just as Li Yuan and the others continued on their way, Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Yong's group had already entered the territory of Lingyang Mansion in Lingzhou.

After a day of travelling, they were robbed.

Yes, it was robbed...

"What are you looking at, haven't you seen such a big machete!"

On the densely forested road, more than 30 bandits in ragged clothes surrounded Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Yong's travel-stained group.

It was a leader who spoke, holding a machete in his hand, waving a demonstration in front of Yu Wencheng.

The leader, Wei Yuan, had a bushy beard on his face, and his eyes scanned the group of pedestrians, a strong man, a thin and poor literati, a dirty woman, and eight thin children.

With such a combination, how dare they go this way, if they don't rob them, it will simply disrespect their profession.

puff!puff!
Suppressed laughter echoed through the crowd.

Xiao Si, who was hiding behind, felt funny when he saw the funny appearance of the bandit leader who only reached Brother Yuwen's chest showing his power in front of Brother Yuwen.

I have to say that there are really many bandits in Lingzhou. They have encountered three times when they entered Lingzhou.

It was also the first time they saw Yuwen Chengdu make a move, strong!
too strong!
So Xiaosi and the others didn't panic at all. Following Xiaosi's laughter, the other companions couldn't help laughing too.

"Cluck!" "Cluck!"

"Do you want to die!" Wei Yuan laughed when he saw a group of children who didn't feel scared. With a roar, a ferocious aura emanated, and his appearance became very frightening.

Immediately frightened Xiaosi and others, the laughter stopped, and they huddled together.

Wei Yuan looked at the group of children who were frightened by him, and showed a smug smile, but when he saw the children's clothes were more or less patched and their bodies were thin, there was a trace of unbearable in his eyes.

"Ahem, this road belongs to our Lingfeng village. Anyone who passes by has to pay a toll. Everyone..."

"Everyone will pay ten cents!"

Wei Yuan crossed Yu Wencheng's stout figure, and looked at Wu Yong, Nangong Xiyue and the group. Except for a dilapidated carriage, there seemed to be nothing of value.

"Did you hear that, today our eldest brother is showing mercy, and everyone can leave after paying ten Wen."

The younger brother next to Wei Yuan shouted, the surrounding bandits stood still, not even raising their weapons.

Yu Wencheng stood quietly, he could tell that these bandits had no killing intent, especially when the eight children came out, the fierce light in their eyes was reduced by half, which made him not do anything at first.

Nangong Xiyue, Xiaosi and others looked at Yuwen Chengdu, waiting for his decision.

The bandit's eyes had long been focused on Yu Wencheng. After all, such a tall and mighty man stood there without paying attention.

Yu Wencheng shook his head at Wei Yuan and other bandits.

"What, you can't afford ten Wen per person?"

Seeing Yu Wencheng shaking his head, Wei Yuan immediately exclaimed.

The little brother next to him leaned over to him, looked at the shabby looks of the group, and whispered:
"Brother, look at their shabby appearance, they may really have no money. This strong man should be the mainstay of taking care of these children. They are all poor people, why don't we let them go."

"No, the so-called state-owned state law, bandits have bandit rules, and passers-by must pay the toll."

Wei Yuan refused straight away, then glanced at Xiaosi and the other children, raised the sword in his hand, and sighed to Yu Wencheng:
"This strong man, we also know your difficulties, but we are also very difficult to deal with.

In this way, each of you pays a penny, and you can leave for a penny, how about it. "

Nangong Xiyue, who was dressed dirty, saw Wei Yuan let go so quickly, her eyes lit up, and she pushed Xiaosi next to her.

When Xiaosi saw Nangong Xiyue's expression, he immediately understood, and hurried to Yuwen Chengdu, crying:

"Brother, you should sell me. You have to support so many younger brothers and sisters, and now you can't even pay the toll. With our current state, can the relatives of Lingyang Mansion look up to us? Then we will be punished for a while. Roll your eyes, it's too uncomfortable to live under the fence."

With tears all over his face, Xiaosi looked very pitiful, looked at Wei Yuan and the others, and continued to cry:

"Brothers, I know you are not bad people, why don't you buy me? My elder brother is too miserable. One person has to support nine people, and the second brother is a waste material. Our knowledge was appreciated by the official boss Bo, and he got a literati position, but unexpectedly, he was snatched away by the children of the big families in the city, and they still oppressed us, so we had to leave our homes and wander around."

"Woo! Woo!"

Immediately, the seven children next to Nangong Xiyue started crying at the same time, and ran to Xiaosi to cry.

"No, Sixth Brother, you still have to stay and help Big Brother, if you want to sell it, sell me."

"No, Seventh Sister, sell me, I'm useless at all."

"Sell me, I will have tolls if I sell."

"Ahem," Wu Yong put the jade fan back into his sleeve when he saw this scene, quickly covered his face with his sleeve, and gave Yu Wencheng a look. These bandits seem to be good, different from the previous two waves, a little morality.

An idea formed in Wu Yong's heart.

hiss!
so miserable!
After all, this group is not vicious bandits, and many of them have no choice but to go up the mountain.

Seeing the miserable appearance of these skinny children, the bandits who had surrounded them walked back to Wei Yuan one after another, their intentions were self-evident.

"Brother, why don't we let them go, they are all hard-working people, and there is also an unlucky scholar."

"What the hell, what kind of books do you study if you don't have money? Look at your elder brother and younger brothers who are still studying after suffering so much!"

Wei Yuan looked at Wu Yong, who was covering his face and crying, and cursed. In this era, there was no imperial examination system, but all virtuous talents can only join various families and forces, and can only enter the court as an official after being recommended by them.

Even though there are so many warriors and scholars in Kyoto, that is Kyoto. For example, these bandits, Wei Yuan is a mid-acquired warrior, and everyone else is around the third or fourth level of martial arts. Ordinary people are stronger.

"Don't scold my second brother, my second brother is smart, but he didn't meet the opportunity, woohoo!"

Stoudemire covered his little face with his dirty sleeves and cried bitterly.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

The children were crying.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, all knowledge is useless." Wu Yong put down his sleeves and said sadly.

"Hey, forget it, let's go!"

Seeing a group of sad voices, Wei Yuan turned his head and waved for them to leave.

Originally, I was living an unsatisfactory life, but I couldn't see the suffering in the world.

"No, big brother, you want me. I only need one hundred yuan. We have been hungry for a long time. I want big brother and the others to have a full meal and eat a few more big white steamed buns."

Seeing the bandits give way one after another, Xiao Si boldly ran to Wei Yuan, pulled his sleeve and cried.
