Chapter 29 Swallow Thief
Under the scorching sun, pedestrians on the official road wiped their sweat and walked unsteadily.
The hot sunlight made Shi Kang feel very uncomfortable, let alone ordinary people.
But there is no way. At this time, the world is raging with war, and walking at night is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. We can only go together during the day when there are many people, hoping to avoid the strongman.
It's just that in today's world, there is no difference between day and night, but there is always an advantage in having more people, which can stop those stragglers from retreating.
Shi Kang looked indifferent and walked among a caravan.
More than a year has passed since he left Fengyang County.
During this time, he traveled to many places and learned many things.
The imperial court had collapsed a few days ago, and the last emperor had been killed by rebels. Troops were raised in various places, entering an era of troubled times and competition for supremacy.
Among the strongest forces now, one is Malen in the north. A court general with barbarian origins, he has been secretly raising private soldiers for a long time. Finally, he raised the flag of rebellion and rebelled against the court. He has occupied a large territory.
Behind him were a large number of barbarian cavalry, which were quite powerful.
The other big force is the Zheng family in the south. They are elected by maritime merchants from all over the coast. There are no richer people in the world than maritime merchants, and the spokespersons selected by the maritime merchants are naturally rich and have the most sophisticated weapons under their command.
, the force with the most masters.
The last party is the Feng family in the West.
The Feng family was originally just an ordinary rich family, but it hooked up with Qi State and received a lot of help. It was promoted to one of the three major forces and should not be underestimated.
In addition to these three forces, there are also many small and medium-sized forces, which combine horizontally and vertically with each other, and there is a slight balance for a while.
Unfortunately, this is only a balance on the upper level. Shi Kang has been walking for more than a year and knows very well how hard it is down there.
The war has never left the local area. Fengyang County was invaded by the Demon King Li Jie, which was just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, such wars occurred everywhere.
Unfortunately, Shi Kang participated in it several times and never triggered an event, which made him doubt his own guess.
But not long ago, he triggered a new event.
[Kill the Thief]: Kill Luo Yongsan of Yanzilin. Reward: 60 Luck.
Yanzilin is where Shi Kang is planning to go. It is a small forest located between Yancheng and Panlong Town.
Here, there is a group of robbers, named Yanzi Bandits, who are extremely vicious and have ruined the lives of countless people in the Fish and Meat Village.
Luo Yongsan is the second leader of the Yanzi Bandits, and he does all kinds of evil.
A few days ago, Shi Kang passed by Panlong Town, where he saw a group of ragged people kneeling in front of the yamen, kowtow and begging to be seen. However, no one from the local officials was willing to pay attention to them, and even avoided them for fear.
He felt a little strange and quietly asked people nearby, but the people he was asked about also had frightened faces and did not dare to say anything.
In the end, he spent a lot of money to buy a large table of delicious food in a nearby restaurant, and then the waiter, who had received a large bounty, revealed the situation one by one.
These people are not from one place, but survivors from more than ten villages near Panlong Town.
Their village was coerced by Luo Yongsan and his men from Yanzi Robbery, asking them to hand over food, money and even women. If they were unwilling, they would come and kill a group of people every few days.
Even after killing someone, they didn't rob him. They just said it was just a warning and walked away.
Not robbing is not a kind intention, it is just using this method to constantly break the resistance of the villagers, making them consciously surrender and consciously dedicate everything to them.
Some villages surrendered and handed over their food, wealth, daughters, and wives to the thugs.
But they were not left behind either. All their food was wasted by eating and drinking, their wealth was squandered carelessly, their wives and daughters were ruined, and their bodies were even sent back incomplete.
Every village wears mourning, every family weeps bitterly, causing countless people to hate and fear.
But even if he resists, it will be of no avail. Luo Yongsan is so powerful that no one can resist his attack.
Panlong Town originally wanted to suppress bandits, but shortly after sending out a team of troops, they were ambushed by Luo Yongsan and his men on the way, and the entire army was wiped out.
As a result, Panlong Town no longer dared to care about the Yanzi theft, and even though the villagers begged outside, they did not show any sign.
"Swallow Thief..."
Shi Kang sighed silently in his heart. He had seen too many guys like Swallow Thief who were worse than pigs and dogs, but he had never seen anyone so arrogant and wanton.
"They do deserve to die."
He shook his head and sighed, watching the people crying not far below.
But at this moment, virtual words appeared in front of his eyes again, and the event was triggered again.
Although his luck was only 60, it was enough to cheer him up.
"It seems that there is something else that needs to be paid attention to in the triggering event."
Shi Kang compared his previous actions in his mind, "This requires me to feel the same way, so that the incident can be triggered."
Before he wanted to trigger the event, he didn't think much about those people and separated himself from them, so the event couldn't be triggered.
It seems that if you want to trigger an event in the future, you have to make yourself feel that you should do this from the bottom of your heart.
If you don't even agree with yourself, you won't be able to trigger the event.
In order to celebrate this hard-won event, Shi Kang decided to complete it well.
Although the incident only required killing Luo Yongsan, he was prepared to kill all the Yanzi thieves.
He stayed in Panlong Town for two days and carefully inquired about the Yanzi Bandits. He kept their lair, approximate number of people, and movement patterns in mind, and then he went out to find the Yanzi Bandits and catch them all.
He inquired about the news and learned that a caravan was going to Yancheng. It was very likely that the Yanzi thieves would take a fancy to this caravan and come to rob it.
The caravan also knew that it was being targeted, so it has been recruiting guards in Panlong Town, sending out large sums of money, and attracting many strong men.
No matter how ferocious the Swallow Thief is, would he still dare to come up when faced with so many guards?
With this idea in mind, the caravan took a large number of people and set out on the road with peace of mind.
Shi Kang took this opportunity to join the caravan.
He didn't even need to show anything, just looking at his height and his exposed muscles, he was directly selected and even became the leader of a team of guards, earning double his salary.
Shi Kang was not polite about this. After all, he came in and it didn't matter if he had twice the money.
You must know that as long as he is here, the group of people stolen by Yan Zi will not be able to harass them anymore.
After all, how could a mere robber who gathered strength and energy be the opponent of a powerful master like himself?
