Chapter 114 [Behind the scenes]

"Elder, these bandits really want to fight with us. Why don't we just give them more goods, otherwise we may not be able to pass half of the people today." Seeing that the number of bandits was increasing, some bandits even rushed up desperately, some small leaders of the chamber of commerce said nervously.

"Okay, the situation is critical this time. Try not to take any of the things that can be discarded. Everyone rushes forward to the death. As long as you pass this gourd-shaped bend, you will pass the gate of hell." The elder of the Chamber of Commerce shouted in his voice when he heard the words of the guard leader.

Hearing the words of the elders of the Chamber of Commerce, Shi Wuji roughly understood the meaning of the Chamber of Commerce, which was to abandon them, such as passers-by.

However, this cannot be said to be abandoned completely. After all, they are just in the back of the caravan. If they can rush up when the caravan is surviving, then they will gain more vitality. But on the contrary, if they cannot keep up with the caravan, it is normal for them to die. Of course, at this time, they can also choose to leave the caravan and escape by themselves.

For Shi Wuji, he chose to keep up with the caravan.

"Puff..."

Although these bandits are pretty good, they are still a little worse than Shi Wuji. More than a dozen bandits were destroyed by the "Hatching Knife" in his hands.

But at this moment, a bandit with a half-step warrior actually came out from the side and stopped Shi Wuji directly.

"Boy, I didn't expect your strength to be quite strong, but even so, so what? Then you will die obediently and become my deceased soul. Brothers will come up together and leave him for me." This half-step warrior always felt that Shi Wuji and the others had a grudge. Every time they attacked, they would be bloody, and they could almost cut one of his subordinates over with one knife. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see that he was specifically targeting Shi Wuji.

"Hmph. You are also a waste." Seeing this half-step Tianshi warrior coming up, Shi Wuji was not idle either. He waved the "Hatching Knife" in his hand and did not decrease his speed. Instead, he accelerated twice as fast as he rushed towards this half-step Tianshi warrior. He attracted so many bandits at once, which also relieved a lot of pressure on the caravan ahead.

If the situation would not worsen, as expected, their entire caravan would pass through this gourd-shaped bend in less than half an hour.

"Dangdangdang..."

With such close-up battle, Shi Wuji's speed was getting faster and faster. Although the wounds on his body were increasing, he did not retreat at all. Instead, he rushed towards these bandits at a faster speed.

Although there are many bandits, the leading half-step Tianshu warrior bandit did not take advantage for a while, and was forced to retreat repeatedly by Shi Wuji.

Seeing this, this half-step warrior bandit felt insulted. For him, he had never seen any scene in the past few decades and would lose to a warrior who was so much younger than him. He felt unwilling to accept it.

Just as Shi Wuji cut over another bandit, the half-step Tianshu bandit suddenly used his martial arts and rushed up from behind Shi Wuji.

The half-step warrior "Shocking Wind Slash" was extremely fast. When he got out, he felt like a gust of wind blew. Even his speed increased a lot at this moment.

As soon as he slashed at Shi Wuji, Shi Wuji felt a gust of wind coming from behind.

Shi Wuji turned around and blocked with the "Hatching Knife". At the same time, he also used his nameless sword to draw the sword and break the void method.

Although this sword is not the strongest, it is successful in close combat. It is extremely fast and consumes not much true energy. It can be said that it can attack or defend, without any trace of dragging it out.

With a "dang", Shi Wuji could inject true energy into the blade of the ", chop the hatchet". Hearing a "click", Shi Wuji cut the steel knife in the hand of the half-step Tianshu bandit with his sword.

Then the "Hatching Knife" in Shi Wuji's hand did not stop, and he cut the half-step Tianshi's body in half with one knife. In this way, he rushed to the front of the caravan without any hesitation to meet with the other guards of the caravan.

After about a while, the caravan finally rushed out of the gourd curve and left the bandit's sphere of influence. Although they were barely safe here, the elders of the Chamber of Commerce still did not dare to stop and speed up.

After about half an hour, they finally returned to the vicinity of Hongwu Town and met with the disciples of the Zhao family who were accompanying them.

Seeing the casualties of his chamber of commerce, the elders of the Zhao family who came to pick him up couldn't help but frown.

Let’s not talk about how much goods they lost, just the casualties of the people. Nearly half of the entire Zhao family died. This was the case when more than a dozen passers-by and a lot of goods were sacrificed. If these passers-by were not there, their casualties would definitely exceed half.

However, although the Zhao family caravan suffered heavy losses, it is still a little bit more fortunate than the Sun family's almost wiped out. Even so, if this situation continues, the situation in the entire Hongwu Town will become very bad, and the Zhao family will suffer even more heavy losses.

Seeing that the people in the Zhao family caravan returned to their family indignation, Shi Wuji suddenly thought of his own way of doing the best of both worlds.

"It seems that I still have to go to the Sun family to have a look first." When Shi Wuji thought of the conflict between the Yu family and the Sun family, he changed his clothes and came to the Sun family's mansion.

"Come" Shi Wuji is now dressed as a solitary warrior who fights alone. Although such warriors generally have no companions or backers, once such a person makes up his mind, he can do anything. Moreover, the strength of the solitary warrior who can live to the age of 40 is not bad.

"Who is it?" Hearing Shi Wuji's scream, a middle-aged man in his fifties and sixties opened the door and walked out of the Sun Mansion. When he saw Shi Wuji's appearance as a lone warrior, he couldn't help frowning, but there was also a hint of fear in his eyes.

You should know that although the lonely warriors don’t look very particular about their dressing and even have some sloppy elements, they have to be said that this type of people are full of murderous aura, and their behavior is always rampant, and they rarely care about other people’s lives and deaths. However, such characters also have one advantage, that is, they rarely break their promises when they promise others.

"I am a walking warrior. I have important things to come to your family this time. I hope you can take me over to see him." Shi Wuji spoke very calmly, and there was no room for negotiation. If the butler rejected Shi Wuji, he would probably be knocked over to the ground on the spot.

Hearing the other party's words, the butler hesitated for a moment, then took Shi Wuji to the living room for a while and let Shi Wuji wait for a moment. Sure enough, the head of the Sun family walked in from outside not long after.

As a lone warrior at the level of Tianshou, it is still qualified to ask for a patriarch of an ordinary family.

"Hahaha. Brother, are there anything wrong with me, Sun?" Sun Huyan was not angry when he saw Shi Wuji sitting there with his eyes closed and resting. Instead, he came to his seat leisurely and sat down. At this time, the maid who specially served tea for some distinguished guests was already standing beside him and prepared to make tea for the guests at any time.

"Sun Huyan, head of the Sun family. I'm not wrong. This time I'm here to tell you a very important news. I think your Sun family will definitely like it when they hear this news." Since Shi Wuji wants to treat himself as a lone warrior, there is no need to hide it here, but to directly express his purpose, it will be more likely to attract the other party's attention.

"Oh, since my friend brought the news, my Sun family naturally welcomed it. However, if the news brought by my friend made me interested, Sun, I should listen to what the news is first." Sun Huyan was also a little surprised when he heard Shi Wuji's words.

However, it was difficult for him to see Shi Wuji's strength clearly. Naturally, he would not have been so abrupt and wiped out the other party's face. Otherwise, in the case of the Sun family in trouble, it would definitely not be a good thing to establish an enemy for himself for no reason.

"Indeed, Chief Sun, your consideration is correct. What if I say it is about those bandits?" said this, Shi Wuji increased his bargaining chips again and added.

"What do you know about those bandits?" Sun Huyan was somewhat surprised to understand Shi Wuji's words. However, his expression quickly returned to calm, as if it was calm as usual.

"Yes. And I also brought some tokens that can prove that group of bandits, but this still requires some benefit from the Clan Chief Sun." Shi Wuji said this and couldn't help but smack his lips and said.

"Hahaha, my friend. I'm afraid you know that our Hongwu Town Chamber of Commerce has been harassed frequently these days. If you can bring some good news, we will naturally welcome it. Let's do this. Here are a thousand gold coins, you can accept them first. If the message you give me exceeds this number, I, Sun, are willing to give me more rewards."

"If the news from my friend is still a little lacking, then this thousand gold coins are just a little meaning I gave to my friend." Sun Huyan's words were very obvious, that is, you should first bring some things that I could see for me to see, otherwise, even if you were given the money, you might not be able to collect it.

Of course, Sun Huyan is still very much looking forward to this mysterious lone warrior in front of him.

"Okay, Clan Chief Sun is really happy. Let's do it. I'll just reveal a little news. If I say that these bandits are all from the Yu family behind the scenes, would you be surprised?" Speaking of this, Shi Wuji increased his bargaining chips again.

Actually, this is the negotiation technique.

In this process, Shi Wuji first aroused the other party's interest with his own strength and unique identity, and then he talked about topics that the other party was more interested in, allowing the other party to gradually enter his trap. At this time, he could increase his bargaining chips bit by bit, thereby gradually attracting the other party's attention.

Of course, the chips Shi Wuji has released are just a drop in the bucket now.

"What, do you say it is the mastermind behind the Yu family?" Sun Huyan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"It's OK, but if you just say this, it's useless if there is no evidence." Although Sun Huyan also thought in his heart that this matter must have been done by the Yu family, the problem is that there is no evidence now. It is impossible for him to lose the least amount of money every time based on the Yu family Chamber of Commerce, and use this to judge this matter by the Yu family behind the scenes. To be continued.
