President Bingshan's Personal Crazy Dragon

Chapter 917: Encountering bandits again!

On the mountain path, a team of 11 people was walking forward.

This team is none other than Shen Nian and the remaining troops of Zhao's caravan.

They have been walking on the mountain path for 5 days.

Although the journey was a bit difficult, the whole journey was relatively smooth and we didn’t encounter bandits again.

"In another half month, we will reach the capital. Everyone, please work harder."

Zhao Xiaoqiang said softly.

Everyone nodded, and no one complained.

The most difficult part of these five days was the eight injured guards.

The most serious person's wound had suppurated, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, without crying out in pain or falling behind.

Fortunately, the caravan transported a lot of medicine. In addition to the rare medicines needed by the Shenwu royal family, there were also some ordinary healing medicines, which were all used by these guards, otherwise they would have died long ago.

"Near here, I remember there is a river. When we get there, let's take a rest and replenish some water."

After walking some distance, Zhao Xiaoqiang observed the surrounding terrain and said softly.

Everyone nodded without objection.

For five consecutive days, the water source they had stored on their bodies had been exhausted. If they didn't replenish some, they probably wouldn't be able to last long.

Even if their lives are not in danger due to lack of water, if they are in poor condition and encounter bandits blocking the road, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, leaving them defenseless.

Shen Nian didn't have any objections to these.

His mission is to escort the caravan safely to Shenwu Capital and complete the deal with the royal family.

Then, through Zhao Xiaoqiang's relationship, he came into contact with the Shenwu Royal Family, and thus left the Shenwu Continent through the passage.

Not long after, they arrived at the river. The caravan stopped along the river and made a simple station.

The guards took water bags and came to the river to replenish the water supply.

The brother and sister Zhao Xiaoqiang and Zhao Xiaoyan were not idle either and built a fire nearby.

Immediately, he went to the river to catch fish.

The food they carry is limited, and they should save some when necessary to prevent some emergencies.

In the past five days, in addition to eating a little food, they spent more time hunting along the road and eating some mountain game. The food treatment was pretty good.

At this time, there was a river in front of them. There were plenty of fish in the river, so they naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Shen Nian also went to help and caught some fish.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xiaoyan started to cook a pot of fish soup, while others processed the remaining fish and grilled it on the fire.

Soon, the delicious smell spread out, and everyone started to enjoy it.

“I never expected that one day just grilled fish would make me feel like I’m eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea.”

Zhao Xiaoqiang sighed while devouring it.

Shen Nian smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Brother, don't tell me that this fish did really well in the exam. I think we can open another grilled fish shop, and maybe we can make a lot of money!"

Zhao Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't think about the grilled fish shop. Let's get over the current difficulties first. If we can't get through this, the Zhao Chamber of Commerce will really be finished, and you and I will also die." here."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyan's eyes dimmed.

Even though they seemed to be very stable these days, there was still half a month to go, and no one could guarantee what would happen.

Both the Zhao brothers and sisters and the eight guards knew this very well.

"Brother Zhao, I said I would escort you to the capital safely and I will do it. You don't have to worry."

Shen Nian comforted him.

"Haha, little brother, I feel more at ease with your words. We will definitely reach the capital safely."

Zhao Xiaoqiang said with a smile.

It could be seen that his confidence in Shen Nian was not very high, but in order not to dishearten everyone, he still managed to smile.

Shen Nian also noticed it, but he didn't say anything more.

At this time, no matter how much he said, it was in vain. Only when the danger really happened and he helped everyone get out of trouble could the problem be explained.

"Everyone has almost adjusted. In that case, it's time for us to continue on the road."

After resting for an hour, Zhao Xiaoqiang stood up and said.

Everyone nodded and began to get up and pack their equipment. They extinguished the fire and covered it with sand to avoid being noticed.

"On the road? It's time to send you on your way!"

At this moment, a sneer rang out.

Everyone was shocked and quickly looked behind them, only to see dozens of young and strong men dressed as bandits rushing out of the mountain forest.

The leader was a bald, strong man holding a mace in his hand.

Everyone in the caravan changed their expressions, and the eight guards also picked up their weapons and stood in front of the Zhao brothers and sisters, looking at the people opposite them with wary expressions.

"You heroes, are you here to rob our caravan too?"

Zhao Xiaoqiang suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, you are smart. If that's the case, then hand over your things obediently, and then commit suicide to apologize. I can keep your whole body."

The bald man laughed and said.

"Who sent you here? This is the royal family's goods. How dare you rob the royal family's belongings? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

Zhao Xiaoqiang scolded angrily.

"Lost your head? After you die, who will know the truth?"

"Besides, since the big man behind me dares to take action against you, he must be fully confident. You should just accept death!"

The bald man was unmoved and did not take Zhao Xiaoqiang's threat to heart.

After hearing his answer, Zhao Xiaoqiang gave up completely.

He knew very well that it was impossible to make these bandits stop with threats alone.

So, he turned to look at Shen Nian.

"It doesn't matter, leave it to me. You stay here and don't go anywhere."

Shen Nian smiled lightly.

After the previous battle, he had a clear understanding of his own strength.

He may not have stood out in the Demonic Mountains, because the humans and monsters there were once extremely powerful beings, and even if their cultivation was suppressed, they could still exert great power.

But in Shenwu Continent, this is not the case.

The people here are all ordinary people, no matter how strong they are, they can't be much stronger.

Those bandits before were proof that Shen Nian easily defeated them without even using 30% of his strength.

So he didn't take the dozens of bandits in front of him seriously. After saying something casually, he walked out from behind them.

He walked towards a group of bandits with his bare hands.

All the bandits, including the bald man, were stunned, with mocking looks in their eyes.
