Chapter 36: Pan Lie (Seeking follow-up reading)

"Oh, hahaha. I was wondering how a little kid could find the thief. Turns out it was Ningguang's man."

Pan Lie glanced at No. 3 and probably recognized the other person's identity.

The frightening aura suddenly dissipated, and the discomfort on Wang Hao's body disappeared instantly.

(War General Panlie, picture by AI)

The shadow that originally blocked Wang Hao's way also disappeared again.

As expected of a death warrior, No. 3 really makes no sound at all.

"Hey, what happened?" Xingqiu looked confused.

Wang Hao forced a smile and said, "Nothing, the general was just joking with me."

As he spoke, Wang Hao extended his hand and said, "Let's sit down and talk first."

Several people entered the room. It was clearly Xingqiu's place, but it seemed as if Wang Hao was the one in charge.

"Boy, how do you want me to cooperate with you?" Pan Lie sat down with his horse and sword in his hands. He didn't look like a general, but rather like a military bandit.

Wang Hao shook his head: "It's not that the general cooperates with us, but we cooperate with the general. The suppression of bandits is the job of the Qianyan Army, and we can't interfere in their affairs."

Pan Lie smiled, and the scar on the corner of his mouth made him look a little ferocious: "Haha, you are indeed Ningguang's man. You know the location very well."

Pan Lie said without hesitation: "I want the caravan to be the bait to fish out all these bastards."

"Then how do you calculate the loss?" Wang Hao asked very naturally.

The caravan belongs to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. We can't let Feiyun Chamber of Commerce take the responsibility.

"Oh, no problem. Late at night, the camp will be under martial law. I will send people to your side to unload your goods and load the Qianyan Army onto the trucks. When the battle starts tomorrow, you will at most lose some horses and vehicles, and the camp can compensate you directly."

After a pause, Pan Lie continued, "As for the time you wasted, don't blame me. It's because you were targeted."

Xingqiu nodded: "It's true that the general cannot be blamed."

He is honest.

If Xingqiu didn't speak up, Wang Hao could still gain some benefits.
Since Xingqiu, the young master of the Chamber of Commerce, has spoken, Wang Hao naturally cannot say anything more.

"Then do as the general says." Wang Hao nodded.
Xingqiu looked at the guy beside him and said, "Ah Xu, go to the camp and tell everyone to cooperate with the Qianyan Army. Also, no one is allowed to leave the camp."

This is because of the fear of news leaking.

Pan Lie nodded, and was quite satisfied with Xingqiu's arrangement.

stand up,

"Then I will go and make the arrangements. If it succeeds, I will take credit for you."

After saying that, Pan Lie left.

Xingqiu gave Axu a look, and Axu left.

Only Wang Hao and Xingqiu were left in the room.

Xingqiu was a little excited: "I didn't expect that the things in the story would happen to me."

The protagonist encounters the Qianyan Army suppressing bandits, and then helps them a lot.

This is also a classic plot in the chivalrous novels that Xingqiu likes.

Xingqiu was naturally excited when the things in this story happened to him.

Wang Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't get carried away. You'll be with me tomorrow. Don't go near the battlefield and don't get off the carriage."

They have been recognized by the thieves, so they must be used as bait together tomorrow, otherwise the thieves will be alert.

Don't underestimate the treasure-stealing group. As the largest criminal group in Teyvat, they still have some stuff.

"Hey, of course I know. Hehe, let's just consider this as gaining experience. It won't be too late to become the protagonist after we return from our studies." Xingqiu snorted.

"I'm going back to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow morning. Be careful and don't show your fear."

Wang Hao waved his hand and turned back to his room.

Xingqiu curled his lips: "I wouldn't do that."

……

Early the next morning,
The Feiyun Caravan started packing up early, obviously to hurry on their way. Some people around took a look and started to do their own things.

It’s just a large caravan, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.

After the caravan was packed up, Wang Hao and Xingqiu came out of the room and boarded the luxurious carriage.

On the outskirts of the camp, several people dressed as adventurers disappeared into the crowd.

However, these people did not seem to notice that while they were following the Feiyun Caravan,
Some people dressed as ordinary people were also staring at them.

In a luxurious carriage,
"The fish has taken the bait." Pan Lie, who was dressed in casual clothes, received the news from his subordinates.

"It's not surprising for a fish to take the bait, but why did the general get on our carriage?" Wang Hao looked at the other party speechlessly.

Although the carriage is luxurious, it is still a carriage after all.

Originally, the seats were just right for Wang Hao and Xingqiu, with some space left.
As a result, when I got on the bus today, I found that Pan Lie occupied most of the carriage.

"Hey, this general still has some prestige here. If I hide in the caravan, I'm afraid I will be recognized directly." Pan Lie didn't care about Wang Hao's resentment at all. "Besides, kid, I'm here, so I can protect you if a fight breaks out."

Wang Hao was speechless. Pan Lie’s words made sense and he couldn’t refute them.

"Well, then please look out the window, General, so that no one can see you." Wang Hao shook his head and said no more.

However, Xingqiu pulled Panlie aside and asked him various questions, seeming to be very interested in this general of Qianyan Army.

The caravan slowly left the camp.

Leaving deep ruts, people around looked at him with envy.

There are such deep ruts, how much cargo must have been carried?

As expected of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, they are rich.

Some people even hurriedly left the camp and headed in other directions.

……

Return to the wilderness.

In fact, the environment of Guiliyuan is very good.
The former civilization was destroyed by the flood, but after the flood receded, a large amount of silt was left behind.

time flies,
Although the Guiliji civilization no longer exists, a large number of lives have flourished on this land.

The trees are dense and lush,
From time to time, huge wild boars would run through the half-human-high grass.

It is precisely this kind of environment that allows the treasure-stealing group to hide under the inspection of the Qianyan Army.

"come yet?"

"The stalkers have reported back and are almost there."

"The chevaux de frise and trip wires are ready. Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, ha, what a big fat sheep."

"This... Boss, if we offend Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, will it..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. We'll just hand the goods over to the Yinyuan Association and take the money. If the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce investigates, they can only trace it back to the Yinyuan Association." The tall and strong treasure-stealing group had a sinister look on their faces.

Normally, the Treasure Stealing Group would not offend a large chamber of commerce like the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the treasure-stealing gangs also have to make a living, selling stolen goods and buying supplies, and the big chambers of commerce always have a way to deal with them.

But ever since the Black Crow Treasure Thieves and the Silver Origin Society established a relationship,

The deterrent power of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is not that strong.

After receiving the news that a caravan from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was carrying a large amount of supplies and only had a hundred or so guards,

Black Crow decided to take action.

How much money can you make by working hard to dig out ruins outside?
Taking over a caravan of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce would earn at least several million Mora. Even if some of it was shared with the Yinyuan Society, it would be enough for them to eat their fill.

"Cheer up, don't reveal your identity."

The black crow gave a light cry.
Behind and around him, the treasure-hunting members holding sharp blades also looked excited.

They stared straight ahead.

On the road in the distance, a large caravan was approaching.
