Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

At night, Murong Shun led [-] cavalry to the vicinity of the destination, and [-] cavalry stayed on the east side to hide. I don't know if the Black Bandit is used to rampant here. They didn't put any scouts around them. Words have scouts.

But for the sake of safety, Murong Shun dismounted everyone ten miles away from the small mountain col. Because thousands of cavalry were running wildly, although there was a mountain range in between, the other party had scouts at the mouth of the canyon, and they might be heard, so the last ten miles were posted. Walking along the foot of the mountain and stepping on the hard road can also avoid leaving horseshoe marks.

It was already late at night when they safely entered the canyon. After leaving the sentries behind, everyone dismounted and rested immediately.

But Xue Wanche and the other three led three cavalry to completely surround the Black Bandit from the periphery.

In the morning of the next day, when the scouts reported that the caravan ahead had arrived, Murong Shun rushed out of the canyon with three hundred cavalry who took off their Mingguang armor and only wore tattered leather armor.

And the person behind Murong Shun was holding a banner similar to that of a Black Bandit.

When Murong Shun and others stopped this large-scale caravan, the other party wasn't too scared. Although the caravan's guards were also on alert, they were really nervous.

A 40-year-old man who took the lead came out, first bowed to Murong Shun and others with his hands clasped, and then said loudly: "Heroes of Montenegro, we are a caravan headed to Loulan and other places, and the toll has been prepared. gone."

Murong Shun also cupped his hands, and then said directly: "This time the toll will be doubled."

Hearing Murong Shun's words, the shopkeeper of the caravan immediately froze. He said in disbelief, "This leader, is this... not in accordance with the rules? The last time we came here, it was still the same number."

"I said, double." Murong Shun's expression was calm, but the person behind him had already pulled out the scimitar from his waist.

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched. The opponent had at least 100 cavalry, and their caravan guards were only [-] people, and they were cavalry fighting infantry.

"Okay!" The shopkeeper agreed without a pause.

Murong Shun didn't say much, but watched the shopkeeper carry the things. After he brought out the prepared things, Murong Shun signaled the people behind to carry all these things onto the horses.

After doing all this, Murong Shun directly signaled the people behind him to throw a tattered Montenegrin flag in front of the shopkeeper, "Bring this and walk on the road ahead."

After finishing speaking, Murong Shun greeted him directly without waiting for him to speak, and the whole cavalry team went straight to the east.

Although the shopkeeper was a little surprised, it didn't seem like this before?But he didn't think too much about it, mainly because the influence of the black bandits on this area had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he didn't think about other possibilities at all.

With the flag that didn't look like the black bandit's flag, the treasurer led the caravan and continued to set off.

Their speed is not fast, but this place is not very far from the scout area of ​​the Black Mountain Bandits. After an hour, the caravan saw another team of about [-] riders heading towards them from a distance. came running wildly.

The shopkeeper stopped the caravan immediately.

The team of [-] riders also stopped in front of them quickly. After the leading Turkic reined in the horses, he clasped his fists and shouted loudly, "Where are the sheep on the ground?"

When he heard this sentence, the shopkeeper suddenly realized that something was wrong. The group of people before didn't seem to say anything?Although not every group of horse thieves said cuts, but the black mountain thieves did.

"Boss Muwutu, it's me!" The shopkeeper knew the leader and hurriedly said loudly.

Mu Wutu looked at him, he really knew him, the main reason was that the other party often came and went in this business, and he could be regarded as their big...big customer.

"It turned out to be shopkeeper Bai. I don't know if shopkeeper Qian Bai is ready for passing by?" Mu Wutu asked with a smile.

"Boss Mu Wutu, your people have already been taken in just now." The shopkeeper immediately said loudly, he has realized that something is wrong, but he must not tell the truth. Not happy.

"What do you mean by Shopkeeper Bai?" Mu Wutu frowned. Recently, the black bandits have reduced their space of action because Datang has eliminated the leader of Tuyuhun. Outside is Hanyang Pass, and a hundred miles to the northeast is Dunhuang County of Datang.

Although the Black Mountain bandits are powerful, they are not stupid. They will not provoke an enemy like Datang. Moreover, their Black Mountain Bandit family has a great career. It is not impossible to give up this hometown, but if you give up, it will be difficult to build another one.

"Mu Wutu leader is about [-] miles away. When we came just now, there were [-] riders. They said that they were from your Montenegro country. They paid the toll and gave me this." The closed Montenegro flag was brought out, and the Montenegrin bandit called himself the country of Montenegro.

"And the other party asked us for double tolls. You can see that there is a lot of space in our car, Chief Muwutu. In the past, we used to carry tolls in a carriage every time. Now But there are two empty carriages." Shopkeeper Bai simply pointed to the caravan behind him.

Looking at the two empty carriages of the caravan, Mu Wubald's expression was extremely ugly, how dare someone steal food from their black bandit territory? !

Is it because they have been too low-key recently, these people don't know what to do? !

"If I say that those people are not from our Montenegro, can Shopkeeper Bai be trusted?" Mu Wubald asked with an ugly expression.

"Ah... this... is this impossible? Isn't this the territory of Montenegro? How could anyone dare to be so bold?" Shopkeeper Bai said with a frightened expression on his face. In the end, shopkeeper Bai hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Muwubald leader... this... I'm really sorry, we recognized the wrong person... the main reason is that we don't know..."

"Then let's pay another toll." Shopkeeper Bai said decisively again, "It's just that the supplies you need may not be available... May I use silk instead?"

Taking a serious look at shopkeeper Bai, to make sure he wasn't lying, Mu Wutu took a deep breath: "No, this toll will be treated as you have paid, but I warn you, you'd better not lie to us, otherwise If you don’t, no one in the Western Regions dares to protect you, you should be clear that we Montenegro people will kill them even if we chase them for thousands of miles, and you won’t be able to get out if you enter this Sulun River.”

"Boss Mu Wutu, we've been doing business here for so many years, I wouldn't dare lend me a few more courage." The shopkeeper said with a bitter face.

"Okay, I see. Shopkeeper Bai, your caravan can go first, but please stay for a while. You just said they have about [-] riders, right? Hut, go back and call someone!" Mu Wutu said directly .

"Yes! Leader!" Behind Mu Wutu, a horse thief in his 20s turned around and rushed into the distance.

Although shopkeeper Bai didn't want to, he also knew that he had no choice, so he immediately arranged for the deputy shopkeeper of the caravan to lead the caravan forward, while he himself stayed where he was with a horse.
