My years in the pawnshop appraising treasures

The ninth peak of the Sea of ​​Qi Realm is only one step away from the Innate Realm, plus nine years of magic power and many spells... Even if he is defeated, it is not difficult to escape.

"In addition, through this treasure appraisal, I finally got a more useful piece of information.

That is to determine their approximate action location.

Gutter Ridge.

At the foot of a rolling mountain. "

Chen Shaojun's eyes flickered, combined with his memory, he found that the so-called Yingou Ridge was thirty miles away from them at this time.

At the speed of their group, they will arrive at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, officially entering the range of Yingou Ridge.

"Hurry up, everyone.

After crossing the two avenues in front, it is Yingou Ridge.

We strive to get out of Gutter Ridge completely before dark. "

In the distance, in Mo's firm, a guard shouted loudly.

"Gutter Ridge? This Gutter Ridge is not a good place.

Normally, it would not be difficult to cross it before dark, but if it was accidentally noticed by the people of Guitou Village in Yingouling, it would take off a layer of skin if it was not dead. "

Just at this time, the two business runners in front of Chen Shaojun discussed, with awe in their tone.

"Ghost village?

On the Yingou Ridge in front, are there any cottage bandits who can't be entrenched? "

Chen Shaojun was startled, stepped forward two steps quickly, and started to question.

But calmly took something from each of the two, and took advantage of the situation to identify one.

It soon became clear that both of them were traveling traders in Shengjing City.

Originally, they usually only wandered among the various mountain villages near Shengjing City.

Unexpectedly, some time ago, a group of people who called themselves the business alliance came to them directly, saying that there was a selling business in the surrounding area, which was occupied by the other party's contract, and asked them to find another way to survive.

Later, the two found out that the so-called business alliance was actually a small gang that had just been established. They took a fancy to their business of traveling around the villages and directly took over all of them.

They are just ordinary merchants, and they are all doing small business. How can they fight against those gang forces?

As a last resort, I had to find another way of life.

But what else can they do besides selling goods through the streets?

Fortunately, they have been doing business for many years, and they also know the reason why persimmons are more expensive in the south than in the south, so they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet. Together, they sold a batch of yellow silk cloth unique to Shengjing City, and then headed to the neighboring cities.

Going with the caravan of Mo's Firm is naturally for safety.

"Of course there is.

On the Yingou Ridge, the Ghost Head Village is entrenched, but it is the strongest group of bandits in the surrounding hundred miles.

It is said that the entire cottage adds up to 3000 people, which can be described as very rampant.

It's not that the government has done nothing. I heard that they have sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but because of the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack location of the cottage, they can only return without success. "

One of the middle-aged merchants heard the words and quickly explained.

"Even the government encircled and suppressed the opponent's cottage?"

Chen Shaojun said in disbelief.

Through the screen of appreciating treasures, he has long known that regardless of the various martial arts forces, the Taoist Immortal Sect is not weak, and its power is also very extraordinary, but the real most powerful is always the Great Zhou Dynasty, the government.

A small cottage, if the higher-ups don't pay attention to it, it's fine. Once they pay attention, how can it survive to this day?

After the government's siege came back without success, according to his understanding, stronger forces should be organized soon, and stronger masters should be dispatched to completely wipe them out.

"That's right.

The government did take action to encircle and suppress the Guitou village.

Returning without success is also true.

However, I heard that it was because the official who issued the encirclement and suppression order at that time had just arrived at Yingouling, and there was a transfer order from above, directly demoting him from Beijing.

This official is lost, how can he have the heart to attack Guitou Village again?Had to withdraw troops hastily. "

At this time, another merchant also followed suit and said.

"So, does this Guitou Village have another background?"

Dongfang Bai at the side couldn't help but asked, too.

"I heard that this Guitou Village is indeed inextricably linked to some dignitaries in Shengjing City.

Every year, there is a lot of money that goes out to honor those officials and lords.

This is also the reason why this Guitou village has been here for decades without being encircled and wiped out. "

"And where did the money for respecting the officials come from?

It is from among the caravans and pedestrians who pass by this Yingouling every year.

I heard that even the eight major commercial firms in Shengjing City, if they want to get through safely, they have to call for a "toll" regularly every year to ensure a smooth and safe journey, otherwise they will be made things difficult, and even their goods will be robbed... ..."

The two of them spoke with inexplicable emotion and awe.

This Guitou village is indeed famous for its fierceness.

Especially for businessmen like them, it is absolutely unavoidable existence.

This is also the reason why, even though they felt sorry for the 'boarding fee' handed over to Mo's Commercial Bank, they still had to obediently hand over the money.

In fact, Yingouling, Guitou Village, is a dangerous place.

They dare not pass without permission at all.

"I see."

Chen Shaojun nodded, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Perhaps in the past, this Mo's firm was able to survive safely because of the 'toll fee' paid.

It is also possible to get out of Yingou Ridge completely before dark.

But this time, not necessarily.

In addition, what made Chen Shaojun feel bad was that.

He suddenly discovered that this time, there might be one more bandit force than the four he had imagined.

This occupies a favorable location, and it is the ghost head village with the strongest bandit force in the vicinity, and it is estimated that it will be one of them.

Because, if that wasn't the case, why would Jinshan Bandits, Ax Village, Black Tiger Gang and other forces decide to place their actions in Yingou Ridge?

You know, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

No matter what the reason was, Guitou Village would never tolerate other bandits attacking passing caravans on their own territory.

Not to mention, they still collect tolls from Mo's business every year.

This toll fee is also equivalent to a protection fee to protect their safety during this journey.

If not, how could the strong team obediently give money?

It is absolutely impossible for Guitou Village to be truly stable until now, even if it is protected by the powerful, it has been uprooted by various forces long ago.

After all, the power behind the Eight Chambers of Commerce is not small.

"So, it is only possible that Guitou Village actually participated in this siege.

And the reason for all this is estimated to be the teacher in red.

Because only the formidable and powerful Red Clothes Sect could integrate so many and such a strong force to attack the caravan together. "

Thoughts flickered in Chen Shaojun's mind, and he also felt a burst of confusion and doubt.

why?

What resentment what?

Just for a mere 20 taels of silver, you dispatched so many strong men to attack this caravan?

Or, there is another reason for it.

It's just that I don't know?

Chen Shaojun was confused.

"I heard that there are innate talents in Guitou Village."

Suddenly, Dongfang Bai spoke.

"Ok?"

Chen Shaojun frowned even deeper.

This is even more unreasonable.

There are all innate realm powerhouses here, so why do they have to unite so many forces to attack their caravan together?

Are they so important?

More than 20 taels of silver at most, so many people are willing to follow suit?

To attract the heart of the strong innate realm?

"Or is there something else I don't know about?"

Inexplicably, Chen Shaojun looked forward, at the person in charge of Mo's Trading Company in that obviously much more high-end carriage.

He suddenly realized that it would be difficult to obtain useful information only from the low-level people around him.

Only from those who are stronger and occupy high positions, can they obtain the many secrets that they want to know.

Only then can we understand what is the reason that has prompted so many forces to focus on their caravan together.

……

The word count was a bit short just now, so I added it.Tears, sorry.

Chapter 2 Betraying the Hue Instinct (One Chapter)

"The 20 taels of silver is probably only one of the reasons.

Perhaps the caravan transported more important things and treasures this time? "

Chen Shaojun's eyes flickered, and he finally decided to set Jianbao's gaze on those senior executives of Mo's Firm.

In addition, those martial arts masters in the accompanying caravan are also one of his targets.

For example, the pair of grandpa and granddaughter in front of him, regardless of their inconspicuous attire, the grandfather was dressed in rags, and his back was bent all the time, as if he was a little hunchbacked. He is a martial arts expert at the seventh level of Qi Sea Realm, and his strength is not weak.

As for his granddaughter, she is about 15 years old, she is dressed in white washed clothes, and her face is also a little dark. Except for her bright eyes, she looks no different from a peasant girl, but she also has The strength above the seventh level of Body Refining Realm.

At this age, with such strength in body training, he is not weak among his peers.

At least he is also a young genius who has practiced martial arts since childhood and has good talents.

Before, he had some scruples about these masters. After all, the more powerful he is, the stronger his perception ability is. Although his skill of emptiness is exquisite, he is not sure that he can take things from such strong people without being noticed.

But now, after all, it is time to take a risk.

"Fortunately, the means I have mastered are not just the skill of empty hands."

Chen Shaojun muttered to himself, but first looked at Dongfang Bai who was at the side.

Before the other party, he was also one of the people who made him afraid, afraid of being discovered and didn't do it directly.

Now it is just right to start the experiment from him.

Moreover, Chen Shaojun shot consecutively in front of the opponent before, but the opponent didn't notice it. Obviously, the speed of his methods was enough to hide it from the opponent's eyes.

What is really difficult is actually the moment when something is taken away from the opponent, the weight change when the thing is missing.

After all, any thing, whether it is a jade pendant, a hairpin or other accessories and treasures, once it disappears, the weight it carries will also disappear.

If it is just an ordinary person, the perception of these weights is not obvious, and of course it is very easy to ignore the past.

However, warriors, especially those whose strength has reached a certain level, are different. Their perception is extremely strong, and they can detect even the slightest weight change, so they can be discovered.
