Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

The young men in the caravan were all kind-hearted people. They agreed to the old man's request without hesitation. They helped the old man onto the carriage and continued on their way.

However, what they didn't expect was that the old man was actually a charlatan who pretended to be sick and approached the caravan in order to steal the goods.

When the caravan was resting, the old man quietly sneaked into the place where the goods were stored. He skillfully opened a box filled with precious jewels and silk.

Just as the old man was about to steal the goods, the night guard suddenly appeared.

When he was having dinner, he felt that this old man was abnormal. Others would focus their eyes on the dishes and rice when eating. The food in the team was not bad, but this old man who was fleeing was not so concerned about the food. His eyes were wandering around, and he would glance at the goods from time to time.

Therefore, the guard reported the old man's abnormal behavior to the leader, who told him not to alert the enemy and to secretly observe the old man's behavior. If it was just a coincidence, he didn't need to take it seriously. If the old man was a robber, he should be caught on the spot when he took action.

As the saying goes: Catch the adulterer and catch the couple; catch the thief and take the stolen goods. Even if you suspect this old man, you have to get evidence first.

In order to avoid causing panic, only the team leader and the young man knew that the old man was abnormal, and the team leader also secretly observed the old man's behavior.

Now the guard had caught the old man about to steal and started shouting.

The guards gathered around first, and the remaining young men also came over and surrounded the old man.

The old man saw that his plan was exposed and tried to escape, but he was surrounded by guards and could not escape at all. The old man was also a habitual criminal, so he immediately reached out and took something out of his arms and scattered it around. He was waiting for these people to faint and then escape with the stolen goods.

But the old man never expected that the young men had taken antidote pills before going to sleep, and the effect of the pills was still there, so the poison he threw had no effect at all.

The guards looked at the old man angrily and tied his hands and feet. They never thought that their kindness would be taken advantage of. They decided to hand the old man over to the local government to let him receive the punishment he deserved.

The young men in the caravan also learned a lesson from this experience. They understood that while they should be kind, they should also remain vigilant to avoid being deceived.

That's great. The county government office was the next destination of their caravan, so they continued to sell goods there and waited for the results of the government's interrogation of the old man.

After interrogation by the authorities, they discovered that the old man was actually the leader of the bandits. Because he had disguised himself, his true identity was unknown at first.

The interrogation was quite complicated. Initially, the old man was very cooperative and admitted that he was tempted by the money and decided to steal on the spur of the moment.

The county magistrate originally thought that this was a very simple case, and since the old man was so cooperative, he could just confess and the case would be closed. He hoped that the old man would be imprisoned for half a year.

Just at this moment, a constable who had just returned from his business trip came to the lobby and saw the old man.

He looked at it carefully for a few times, and then said to the master with great certainty: "Sir, you may have been deceived by this old man. This is not the first time he has stolen.

I have seen this old man before, wearing this kind of clothes and stealing money from merchants. The merchant shouted that his money had been stolen and I happened to be patrolling nearby, so I led people to chase him but failed to catch up with him.

Therefore, Xia Tian recognized this old man, and judging from his stealing techniques and escape routes, he was definitely a skilled habitual thief.

I suggest that we torture this old man severely, maybe we can get other cases out of him."

The officers intensified the torture, and during the interrogation, a flaw appeared at the edge of the old man's mask.

When the mask was removed, the officers were shocked at first, then overjoyed. This old man was not an old man at all, but a middle-aged man under 40 years old. His real identity was the leader of the theft gang they had been tracking down recently.

After another round of torture, the leader of the theft gang confessed.

Some time ago, at the caravan's last stop, he inquired about the caravan's itinerary. He also witnessed with his own eyes that the caravan not only had a lot of goods, all of which were valuable, but also had a large amount of payment when they sold the goods. In addition to the large amount of money exchanged for silver notes, there were also several boxes of silver and copper coins on the caravan.

Therefore, he deliberately waited at the route that the caravan must pass, disguised as a poor old man and attempted to sneak into the team and steal.

The caravan members were shocked; they didn't expect to meet the bandit leader here.

After the results of the interrogation were announced to the caravan, the leader and other young men were filled with regret. Their caravan was indeed the target of many thieves and bandits.

Every time he encountered a thief who was a headache for the government. This time, the government tortured him and found out that this man had led his men to steal from the warehouses of several other wealthy families, so he was sentenced to a heavy sentence.

The government rewarded them again. However, the amount of the reward was not large, so there was no need to report it. The reward was already stored in the government treasury, and the team leader directly received 200 taels of silver. The silver was divided equally among all members of the caravan.

However, this accident also made them more vigilant and realized that they could not relax at all in the rest of the journey.

However, on the way to the next destination, they were attacked by a group of men in black, who were highly skilled in martial arts and clearly well prepared.

The caravan members fought back, but they were outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand. At the critical moment, a cultivator came to their aid, using his superb martial arts and magic to quickly repel the men in black.

The caravan members were extremely grateful to this chivalrous man. They asked for his identity and name, intending to repay his kindness.

The man said that he was a cultivator, and it was his duty to help those in need when he saw injustice, so there was no need to thank him.

The leader of the caravan sincerely asked the cultivator to leave his name. He would report to his master, Prince Hongdu, when he returned. In addition to giving the cultivator some convenient food that he could take out and eat at any time on the road, he would also reward him handsomely afterwards.

The cultivator refused the gift, saying that he didn't need these items, and his fellow apprentices also sold these convenience foods. The two of them filled his storage bag. The food stored in the storage bag was enough for him to eat for a year.

His words surprised the leader. Who has such courage? He looked unbelieving. At the same time, he further asked who this cultivator's junior sister was.

After careful inquiries, I found out that his junior sister was Beichuan Crown Princess Xiao Yunyan, and his junior brother was Crown Prince Li Mohan.

He happened to be traveling nearby. He heard a message from his junior sister saying that bandits were rampant in the area, so he came here specifically to eradicate the evil.

When the caravan passed by this place, it was targeted by local robbers and thieves because of the large number of people and the conspicuous cargo it was carrying.

This cultivator happened to hear that they were planning to hijack a caravan and steal at night, so he came here to eliminate this harm to the people.

The leader of the caravan was filled with gratitude and said that he had been taken care of by the Beichuan Crown Prince and Crown Princess many times along the way, and he was grateful on behalf of the family organization. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess also thanked this cultivator.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the leader invited him to go with them. If this cultivator accompanied them, their caravan would be safe.

However, the cultivator politely declined, saying that he was traveling and had important things to do, so he could not go with the caravan.

The team leader could only thank the cultivator again.

Then the cultivator disappeared into the vast mountains and forests. The caravan continued to move forward, and everyone was more careful than before, and everyone was very vigilant along the way.

However, although some of the black-clothed men were injured by the cultivators, they were numerous, so they did not give up the plan to hijack the caravan.

When the caravan set out on its journey again, it was intercepted by the men in black again.

Looking at the attire and martial arts routines of these men in black, compared with the previous gang of bandits, this group of people is more like members of a disciplined organization.

When the two sides met, the leader of the caravan asked directly: "Please tell me your name, which force are you from? Are you in the same group as the bandit leader and the robbers who kidnapped us before?"

A tall and thin man among the men in black said with disdain: "That old man looks like a country bumpkin, he is not the same kind of person as us. I have nothing to do with him.

As for the gang that kidnapped you last time, the robbers do have some relationship with us, but they are just small fry recruited by us, and their status as masters is very different from that of the bosses.

However, you don't need to ask about their identities. Just hand over the carriage and banknotes.

I'm being kind and will spare your lives. If you know what's happening, take your men and get out of here.

If you piss me off, none of you will be able to leave today."

The leader of the caravan had experienced countless hardships and dangers along the way, so he had no particular fear of this group of people.

He talked to these people in the hope of finding some clues from their language.

Now I heard these people speak in a tone that sounded arrogant and rude. Looking at their attire, more than 20 people were wearing the same black brocade suit, and their hair was tied with a golden crown. They were rich and powerful people. These people must not be ordinary local bandits.

They suspected that these people might be high-ranking confidants of Jiayang, and now they were robbing caravans in various places to accumulate wealth.

After knowing the identity of the other party, the leader no longer had any doubts. Even if they were not Jiayang's men, since these people were from a certain organization, their skills must be far superior to those of the local bandits.

Therefore, the leader responded to the bandits while using gestures to tell the guards behind him, who already knew the secret codes, that the people around him should take the detoxification pills as soon as possible, and then attack the bandits with the sleeping pills, and throw the stiffness charms on them when necessary.

The team leader knew that these people must be very skilled. Although there were martial arts masters in his team, if a real fight broke out, the whole team would be in chaos. If more accomplices rushed out from the other side, their team would be in danger. So they had to fight quickly and the best way was to use drugs and spells.

At the same time, he gestured to the guards behind to protect the convoy with a protective magic circle. Although the number of bandits they faced was not large, only a dozen in total, they were afraid that another group of bandits would appear at the rear of the convoy. If they only cared about the front and not the rear, the convoy would still suffer heavy losses.

The news spread quickly. The convoy behind had already used a protective array to protect the convoy and its personnel.

Only the team leader and a few guards who were confronting the robbers in front had not used the protective magic circle.

After receiving the signal from the guard, the leader immediately threw the pill in his hand into his mouth, while the guard beside him raised the sleeping pill and threw it at the other party. The wind direction was just right.

When the other party drew his sword and slashed at them, the guards had already thrown away the stiffness talisman.

The four stiffness charms just flew onto the four robbers who were coming towards them, and they immediately became unable to move.

Everyone gasped, it was too dangerous just now. Fortunately, the stiffness charm was used. Because even if you use drugs to knock the opponent unconscious, it will take several breaths.

Just when the stiffening talisman was thrown at the opponent, the leader who was speaking moved so quickly that the blade in his hand was almost touching the leader's neck.
