Chapter 393
The next morning, the caravan of the Tracy City branch of the Jinsha Trading Company was ready to depart from Tracy City and head to Tesi Town, west of Tracy City, with a total of more than 20 carriages.
The nearly 100-meter-long caravan stopped on the street.
The captain of the caravan was a thin middle-aged man.
"Boss, this batch of ironware is worth more than 200 gold coins. How many mercenaries are you going to send to escort it?"
Next to the caravan, the captain of the caravan asked the boss of the Tracy City branch of the Jinsha Trading Company.
The business of the Jinsha Trading Company covers more than a dozen major cities nearby, and each major city has two or three branches. The boss of the Tracy City branch is considered a worker under Carter.
The middle-aged boss frowned, "Lord Carter asked someone to bring news that we will not hire adventurers or mercenaries this time. Someone will come to escort us."
"Who?"
"I don't know. Lord Carter only said it was a young man."
The caravan was waiting on the street.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, Cheng Yu came here and looked at the sign of the Cuisi City branch of Jinsha Trading Company. It should be here. He walked to the caravan next to the trading company and said to everyone: "Hello, I am the person responsible for escorting the goods this time."
"Let's go, you are the only one missing."
The captain of the caravan looked at Cheng Yu and said nothing more. Since Carter sent this young man to escort the caravan, this young man must be extraordinary.
Cheng Yu sat on the carriage and went to Tesi Town with the caravan to see who was robbing the caravan of Jinsha Trading Company.
The 100-meter-long caravan slowly left Cuisi City and headed towards Tesi Town along the official road.
After leaving the city, there were large tracts of villages and farmland outside the city.
When the caravan passed through a forest, hurried footsteps sounded in the surrounding woods, and many people ran towards this side.
"Everyone be careful, it's another robbery." The captain of the caravan said to the caravan members.
All the people in the caravan were alert, picked up their weapons, and prepared to fight the enemy.
Strangely enough, this gang of robbers always knew the departure time and route of their caravans and robbed them accurately.
On both sides of the wide road, dozens of robbers holding machetes rushed out of the woods and blocked the caravan. They were all dusty, with messy hair and tattered and colorful clothes.
Although this kind of dress fits the image of robbers in people's minds, it more or less gives people a deliberate feeling.
"Stop, leave all the goods behind." A robber pointed a machete at the caravan.
Cheng Yu jumped off the carriage, walked to the front of the caravan, and looked at the dozens of robbers, "Who are you?"
"Why so much nonsense, either leave the goods behind or die."
A robber carrying a big hammer said in a rough voice.
Vine magic!
Talking to the robbers is like playing the lute to a cow. Cheng Yu gave up singing and directly released vine magic. A large number of green vines broke out of the ground and instantly covered the woods within a few hundred meters around.
Green vines as thick as wrists swayed flexibly, attacking the robbers.
After Ivennie's transformation, the vine magic summoned was quite tough, and most of the robbers were entangled by the vines and could not move.
But two of the robbers were extraordinary, swinging their scimitars to attack the vines that swept over. With one strike, the powerful force directly cut off seven or eight vines.
The blade fell to the ground with a loud bang, leaving a crack more than ten meters long on the ground.
Judging from the power of this knife, the opponent was at least a third-level warrior.
The two were agile, facing the vine attack, and methodically resisted the vine attack while rescuing other robbers.
The rescued robbers quickly formed a formation, with five people in a circle, with their backs facing the circle and their knives facing outwards to avoid being attacked from behind and to fight against the vines from five directions.
The robbers could not have such a tacit understanding.
These people were specially trained soldiers.
Cheng Yu was not a powerful magician, and the vine magic he released was limited in strength. Although it could trap ordinary robbers, it could not trap the two more powerful robbers, and many vines were cut off.
Controlling the strength, Cheng Yu directly used the fly slapping magic, and slapped the two more powerful robbers from a distance of dozens of meters.
The invisible force slapped the chests of the two people, and the two were caught off guard, spitting blood, and flew backwards.
Without the two people cutting off the vines, the other robbers were defeated and were bound by the vines again.
The caravan members looked at the dozens of robbers who were entangled like dumplings in front of them in surprise.
The mercenaries hired before could not beat these robbers, but they were dealt with by this young man in a few moves.
The people sent by Lord Carter are indeed extraordinary.
Cheng Yu walked up to a robber and asked, "Who sent you here?"
"Friend, I advise you to let us go. The power behind us is something you can't afford to offend."
The robber sneered. Not only was he not afraid of Cheng Yu, he threatened him.
Bang!
A big bag was thrown at the robber.On his face.
Cheng Yu repeated the question just now, "I asked you who sent you here. You only need to answer my questions. Don't say anything irrelevant."
With a red slap mark on his face, the robber's eyes were almost spitting fire, and he shouted, "We robbed your Jinsha Company's goods to make your Jinsha Company restrain itself. It's for your Jinsha Company's good. Don't rob all the business. Some business is not something you can get involved in. If you really provoke the forces behind us, your Jinsha Company will have no need to exist."
Pah!
Another big bag was thrown on the robber's face.
"You don't seem to understand what I said. I asked who sent you here." Cheng Yu's tone was impatient.
With a slap mark on each cheek, the robber wanted to roar at Cheng Yu and vent his anger.
But if he did that, he would definitely be slapped again.
Endless anger turned into a simple sentence, "The boss of Saili Trading Company sent us here."
"Why did you rob our Jinsha Trading Company's goods?" Cheng Yu asked again.
"Jinsha Trading Company seized our Saili Trading Company's grain business." The robber replied.
This is a simple business dispute.
Cheng Yu said to the robber, "Go back and tell the boss of your Saili Trading Company to return all the stolen goods, plus 10,000 gold coins as compensation, and let this matter go."
The robber was surprised that this man actually wanted their Saili Trading Company to pay compensation, "Do you really not know the power behind our Saili Trading Company?"
"What power? So arrogant."
Cheng Yu just heard him emphasize the power behind Saili Trading Company.
"North! Wind! Lord!"
In order to enhance his momentum, the robber read out these four words one by one, "Our Saili Trading Company is the property of the Lord of the North Wind."
"Do you know who is the power behind Jinsha Trading Company?" Cheng Yu asked mysteriously.
"Who?"
"The Lord of Bailu Island."
"I don't know him."
Cheng Yu didn't know the Lord of Beifeng, and the robbers didn't know the Lord of Bailu Island either.
"Is my reputation so low? It seems that I am still too kind."
Cheng Yu thought that he had imprisoned two groups of people on Bailu Island as hard labor, and his bad reputation had spread, and no one would come to him again.
It seems that it didn't spread too far, and there are still people who don't know his reputation.
"You can go away, I will take the others back to Bailu Island to do hard labor."
Cheng Yu removed the vines from the robber.
The robber couldn't beat Cheng Yu, so he ran away and went back to report the news.
