The night rain was still cold and chilly.

The battle in the woods was coming to an end. Soon, the last tall remnant of the Moshan tribe was killed. The blood and rain mixed and dyed the surroundings red.

Soon, it was washed away by the rain again.

The Black Wind Bandit leader looked around with a gloomy face. When he came, he had forty or fifty men, but now there were only more than thirty left, and more than a dozen died on the spot.

This business has not even started yet, and almost half of his men have died.

And these mountain folks are very poor, and ten people can't even get half a tael of silver.

Loss, blood loss.

"Boss, do you think we should continue?" At this time, the second boss stood up and asked, naturally asking whether we should continue to wait for the target.

"Continue? Continue what? We'll go back now. There's been so much noise, why ambushing? I'm afraid it would have been known by others." Han Sanshan snorted coldly.

"But it's hard to explain to Shanyang Prefecture. The other party paid the deposit? We're leaving now." The second in command said with some embarrassment.

"Humph, bad luck, just that little silver is not enough for the pension. It's all because of the problem with the intelligence they gave us, otherwise how could we run into this group of reckless men here. You go and tell the contact person that if you want me to do it again, you have to pay more."

Han Sanshan snorted coldly, turned around and called the team to clean up the bodies of his companions.

The Black Wind Bandits came and went quickly, disappearing in the vast rain.

Back in the ruined temple, the caravan had cleaned up the battlefield just now.

After such an incident, Zheng Lao, the old escort, naturally arranged more escorts to keep watch.

And Fang Yue returned to the inner room of the ruined temple and began to check the animal skins he had just obtained.

The firelight shone, and a map appeared on the animal skins.

"Is this a map leading to the deeper part of Moshan?"

After just a few glances, Fang Yue determined that this map depicted the scenery around Moshan, and it was even deeper.

Originally, the Moshan tribe was in the deep mountains, full of ferocious beasts, and it was very dangerous.

That is, these mountain people used some means to make those ferocious beasts avoid their tribe.

In fact, the reason why Moshan was difficult to attack was because of the existence of these ferocious beasts.

This is a map, and it is also a map leading to the deeper part of the forest.

If this road is safe, then the value of this map is not simple.

However, Fang Yue did not have the idea of ​​going on an adventure. After all, going deep into the mountains must be extremely dangerous.

In the old legend, there are monsters in the deeper part of the mountains!

~~~~~~

At this moment, in Shanyang Mansion, in a seemingly ordinary house.

Even though it was late at night, candles were still burning in the main house.

"Master, the tea is ready. This tea is very expensive. It is said that it is the top-grade tea from the 'Yue Chong Shan' tea shop. The master spent more than 1,000 taels of silver to buy one kilogram."

The maid pushed open the door and brought a pot of tea that was still emitting steam.

"Well, leave it there. How is the matter I asked you to find out? What is the background of the Yue Chong Shan tea shop?"

The voice was cold, but it was inevitably filled with a little softness that made people think.

"That is the property of the eldest son of the Bai family in the city. It is said that the tea was sent from Xiahe County." The maid said.

"Well, you go down, go to bed early today, and you don't need to serve."

"Yes, master."

Soon, the maid left the room.

"Mother, Anu is thirsty."

At this time, a slight murmur came from the room.

The young woman quickly got up, poured a cup of tea, blew away the steam with her beautiful red lips, and came to the inner room.

Looking at her daughter who was rubbing her eyes, Widow Yu smiled slightly.

"Come, Anu, drink some water."

Gudong, gulp~

"Mom, this water tastes really good. Is it brewed by Brother Yue? It's exactly the same as what I drank at Brother Yue's house." The innocent girl said.

However, Widow Yu did not answer, but patted her daughter and soon let her go back to sleep.

In the room, Widow Yu was the only one left, listening to the sound of rain in a trance.

~~~~~~

After a few days, Fang Yue and his team had already walked most of the way.

If it didn't rain and there were no accidents, they would be able to return to Xiahe County in three or five days.

"Boss, there is a teahouse in front. We have been walking for a day. Why don't we go and take a rest."

Old Escort Zheng came to Fang Yue to ask for instructions.

Now, he has gone from originally despising Fang Yue, the young boss, to looking him in the eye, and then to respecting him now.

This is also the strength that Fang Yue has shown along the way, which has impressed this escort who often licks blood on the edge of a knife.

Strength is respected, that's it.

"Well, let's take a break here."

As Fang Yue nodded, the caravan came to the teahouse.

Soon, some tea, simple pastries and pickled radishes were served as side dishes.

When the food was served, it was natural to test whether it was drugged.

After confirming that it was safe, everyone began to eat and drink with peace of mind.

Although the food in the teahouse was simple, the caravan still brought some dried meat, which, with the hot water and pastries here, was quite good during the journey.

At the same time, on the small hill not far from the teahouse.

"You must not have any problems this time, and the last incident must not happen again!" Liu Chuanzhi looked at the vicious scarred bandit in front of him and said in a gloomy tone.

"Don't worry, since you have added money, this will definitely happen! What happened last time will not happen again." The scar-faced gangster is the second in command of the Black Wind Bandit.

So he went to contact the contact person for this transaction, and then met Liu Chuanzhi and explained the matter.

Of course, the failure of the mission was blamed on Liu Chuanzhi's inaccurate information.

At the same time, they took action on the rainy night before.

So not only did Liu Chuanzhi pay the balance, but he also increased the price this time, asking for an extra five thousand taels of silver.

"It's best not to have another accident." Liu Chuanzhi snorted coldly, then turned around and prepared to leave without waiting for a reply.

There was bound to be a fight here, and he didn't intend to stay here. It would be bad luck if he was accidentally injured.

His own wealth and life are much more important than those of these bandits and those of Fang Yue. In the future, he will be a literary scholar or a literary scholar.

"Master Liu, walk slowly. There will definitely be no accidents this time."

The scar-faced bandit said with a smile.

Then he rushed towards the Black Wind Thief who was ambushing on the other side.

~~~~~~

Another moment passed.

Another group of guests came to the tea house, about twenty or so, all dressed simply, like farmers.

But the momentum that his whole body exuded intentionally or unintentionally was fierce and tight.

"Guests, what do you want?" The grey-haired old man, the shopkeeper of the tea house, saw another group of guests arriving, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Whatever they eat, we also eat." The dark-faced man at the head said angrily.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Cha Lao Zhang left with a smile.

Soon, the same tea, noodles, and pickled radishes were brought to these people.

"Boss, these people are wrong."

At this time, old escort Zheng came up to Fang Yue and whispered.

These people looked at the farmers dressing up, but the aura exuding from their bodies was not ordinary.

Besides, these people are strong and powerful, and they all have some skills in their hands.

How could these people be farmers?

More like a bandit!

"Well, let everyone be careful."

Fang Yue nodded. As soon as the dark-faced man spoke, he could tell that his voice was the same as one of the group of men in black he met in the woods not far from the ruined temple that night.

These people are not farmers, they are Black Wind bandits!

I just don’t know what these people want to do when they appear here. Could it be that they are their target?

Having come into contact with this group of bandits twice must not be an accident.

Fang Yue was wary.

After a while, everyone in the caravan had almost finished eating and drinking, so they paid their bills and started packing up to leave.

"Hey, do it!"

While the caravan was cleaning up, the black bandits who were eating and drinking on the other side finally took action.

They overturned the table in front of them, and immediately there was the sound of broken dishes, and the sound of tables and chairs colliding and breaking.

Afterwards, these people drew out their weapons and prepared to kill Fang Yue and the others.

But before these bandits could even take a few steps forward, each one of them collapsed one after another as if they were drunk.

"What! The food just now was poisonous!"

Seeing this scene and feeling the soreness and weakness coming from the body, the leader of the Black Wind Pirates didn't know that what they had just eaten and drank was poisoned.

Immediately, the executioner, whose hands were stained with blood, gritted his teeth and turned around to escape, but he only ran out for ten steps before he fell down.

It's just that he can't figure out why the people in the target caravan are fine!

"What happened?"

Fang Yue was stunned. These black wind thieves had just taken advantage of them to leave and looked like they were going to rush up to deal with them. Why did they all lie down before taking a few steps?

Was the food poisoned? So how come they are okay?

While he was thinking, not far away from Fang Yue, a dozen caravan members also collapsed to the ground.

Soon, the only ones left standing were Fang Yue, Mr. Zheng, the bodyguard beside him, and another bodyguard.

Immediately, Fang Yue looked at the shopkeeper of the tea house, that is, the old man and his two sons.

And just at this time, the other three people also looked at them.

His eyes were full of doubts, as if he wanted to ask why you were the only ones who were okay after everyone had already collapsed.

"Sir, what happened? What happened to them?"

Just as he took a breath, the confusion on the face of the tea house manager disappeared, replaced by a look of fear, and he quickly moved closer to Fang Yue.

The next moment, he raised his sleeves, and a cold light shot out from his sleeves.

"Huh, sure enough!"

Fang Yue had long been wary of this old man, so he would not be fooled by his poor acting skills.

When the old man threw out his sleeve arrows, Fang Yue had already moved, easily avoiding the opponent's sleeve arrows, and then punched the old man in the tea house on the stomach, beating the opponent into a shrimp.

After a while, the three people in the tea room were tied up.

After being tortured, Fang Yue also found out that these three people were indeed running a black shop.

Whether it is tea or pasta, they are actually not poisonous when taken alone, but they will be poisonous as long as they are combined.

Fortunately, the drug was not a deadly poison.

But the old man in the teahouse didn't know why Fang Yue and the other two were not poisoned.

The next step was to treat the caravan members and interrogate the Black Wind Bandits.

~~~~~~

An hour later.

Fang Yue cut the throat of the Black Wind Bandit leader with a knife, and the rest of the Black Wind Bandits were treated the same way, and were buried with the leader.

"Someone in Shanyang Prefecture hired them to deal with me, so who could it be?"

Thinking about the information he got from the Black Wind Bandit leader, Fang Yue pondered slightly.

This time he was very cautious in Shanyang Prefecture, and he should not have offended anyone.

Except for a little conflict with the people from the Chamber of Commerce when entering the city, he should not have offended anyone else.

Could it be the Sanfu Chamber of Commerce?

It's a pity that the Black Wind Bandit second leader who was responsible for the contact was not caught, otherwise the matter today should have been clear.

As for the three teahouse owners who drugged them, they were naturally dealt with by Zheng Lao Escort.

Although, it was so easy to solve the Black Wind Bandits today, it was really because of the other party's poison.

But these people opened a black shop here, I'm afraid I don't know how many people they have harmed. Today is also their good luck. If they were all poisoned, the result today would be different.

Will the other party let them go at that time? Of course, it is impossible.

~~~~~~~~

Xiahe County, Fang's house.

"Hey, why are you here again? Didn't you say that Zhu'er is not at home? When he comes back, I will ask someone to inform you."

"What? You said you wanted to introduce a wife to my Zhu'er. Why didn't you say it earlier? Come in and talk to me."

Chen enthusiastically and happily invited a middle-aged man in butler's clothes into the house.

"Haha, old lady, the one I'm talking about is the jewel in the crown of our Wei family master. This family background is unmatched in the entire Xiahe County. It is definitely worthy of your young master Fang."

Wang Quan said with a smile.

He came here on orders. Wei He is indeed a shrewd guy.

This man is actually planning to marry Fang Yue, and the purpose is naturally for the tea garden.

After all, seeing that Mr. Liu failed, Wei He knew that this matter was not easy to do, and if he forced it, he would definitely hit a wall.

But if it is a marriage, it will be his own business at that time.

Either trick the Fang family into using the tea garden as a gift, or wait until the marriage and find an opportunity to get rid of Fang Yue. At that time, everything about the Fang family will be left to their Wei family.

Of course, at that time, he will definitely take action to "save" Fang Yue at the right time, and then incorporate this Fang Wuju into the organization with benefits.

Prepare for future major events.
