"Oh, I remembered it wrong, I am Hong Xiu of Bingwuqi!"
Fei Yong: “…”
Could you be a little more fake?!

Chapter 438 Acquiescence
Watching Fei Yong and the remaining soldiers slowly walking away, Chen Mu turned his head to look at the pile of red-eyed water apes and couldn't help but smile.
If he handed over all the apes, he would get at least thirty military merits. This one merit alone was worth three days of hard work.
"It is true that a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass! Haha!"
But this joy did not last long and turned into helplessness.
He pushed the Flame Cart to its maximum and filled the Five Ghost Bag to the brim. But even so, there was still a small portion of the Red-Eyed Water Ape left.
"Why are you monkeys so fat?!" Chen Mu had a sour face and had to grit his teeth and leave.
He suddenly understood. No wonder Fei Yong led such a large group of people to rob. It turned out that it was not just to show off his power, but more to help him carry the water ape.
"Don't let anyone take advantage of you."
Chen Mu immediately drove the fast horse of the Flame Cart and galloped towards the camp.
But when he finished dealing with the water ape at hand and hurried back, the little water ape that was left there had disappeared.
Chen Mu stood there with a blank expression.
After working hard for a long time, only half of the harvest goes into someone else’s pocket?
Hey!
Don’t fucking let me know which bastard it is!
"How about, next time after the robbery, let those guys send them directly to the camp gate?" Chen Mu was eager to make a move.
"Forget it, forget it. Black robbing black is arrogant enough."
"It would be too disrespectful to let them deliver it to your door again."
Chen Mu had a lot of wild thoughts and finally had to leave reluctantly.
"After all, this is my first time to rob someone, so I still don't have enough experience."
……
In the southeast corner of the Hai Camp is the camp of the third flag of the Yanxing tribe.
Shi Dechun quickly came to Chen Mu's side. Seeing that Chen Mu was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you are okay."
"That morning, you disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
"I thought you were also in the trap of those big monkeys?"
The Red-Eyed Ape was powerful and strange, and even death was dangerous. Before, someone had been careless and accidentally approached the giant ape, and turned into smoke without any warning.
"I was so busy picking up water apes that I ran a little off track. When I looked back, you had already left. I followed the other teams back." Chen Mu lied casually, but he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Shi Dechun had noticed his first departure. If he left Yisan Banner again and again, he might be discovered by others.
"You have to think of a reasonable reason to act alone." Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Shi Dechun didn't notice the change in Chen Mu's expression. Instead, he asked anxiously, "You didn't run into any robbers, did you?"
Tribulation?
I actually encountered it!
It's just that I robbed them.
"No!" Chen Mu said without changing his expression.
"You are lucky." Shi Dechun's face was full of disappointment and envy.
What's going on? Judging from what the old rascal said, the B3 flag was stolen?
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.
But you are envious, why are you disappointed? You are hoping that I will be robbed, right?
Chen Mu rolled his eyes secretly.
"It was Hong Xiu from the Bingwu Banner." Shi Dechun sighed, "A few old ghosts in the banner released paper figurines to resist, but they ran into the other side's pottery figurines and ghost soldiers, and they were easily dismantled and beaten up."
"The rest who don't want to be beaten can only pay the toll reluctantly and give them half of the water monkey obediently."
Pottery ghosts?
A ghost weapon more powerful than paper figures?
Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
I didn't expect that I could escape a small disaster by leaving the team?
This is probably not a coincidence, but the looting team saw that the Yin soldiers in the main camp did not care, so they had the courage to start looting on a large scale. It can be said that it was inevitable that the third flag of the third flag would encounter it today.
If the strong people behind follow suit, the situation will only get more chaotic!
"Our General Shi really doesn't care?" Chen Mu asked calmly.
"That guy only shows up at roll time and spends the whole day hiding in the barracks making soup and cooking medicine. Who would care about him?" Shi Dechun curled his lips.
He then leaned closer to Chen Mu and whispered, "I even suspect that those ghost soldiers acquiesced to Fei Yong and others' actions, otherwise how could they dare to be so bold."
"How much we transport has nothing to do with the military merits of the Ghost Soldiers' General Flag. As long as we don't cause casualties among the auxiliary troops, these Ghost Soldiers won't interfere."
"If someone else uses military merit to exchange for secret magic medicine and offers it to them, they will definitely be happy to turn a blind eye."
Chen Mu suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Someone actually got the connection?
If that's the case...
Wouldn't it be possible for me to boldly carry out my own grand plan of robbing other gangs without any worries? !
Tsk! What a nice guy...
Just as Shi Dechun was chattering about how he was robbed today, a group of five or six people suddenly broke into the barracks.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing brown tights and a thick black mustache.
"Hello everyone, I am Xiao Jinquan." The middle-aged man smiled friendlyly.
"Everyone's military achievements were robbed today, and you are sad. I understand very well."
"I have already gone to look for General Shi just now, but unfortunately..." Xiao Jinquan shook his head and sighed with a heavy face.
The already depressed atmosphere became even more depressing.
Seeing everyone's grim expressions, Xiao Jinquan smiled again: "Fortunately, there is still a way."
"I put in some effort to contact Hong Xiu, the Bingwu Banner member today."
"After much lobbying and persuasion, we finally reached a consensus with Brother Hong."
"From now on, as long as we hand over 30% of the Red-eyed Water Ape, he will not only not rob us, but will also protect our safety." Xiao Jinquan looked excited.
"Of course, I also know that you are all hurting." He advised earnestly: "But if you don't pay it, someone else might take away half of it."
"If I run into that greedy and rude person, not only will everything be taken away from me, but I'll also get beaten up. Wouldn't that be even more unprofitable?"
"Please think about this carefully."
"If you agree, we will continue to team up tomorrow. If you don't agree, please leave the team on your own."
After saying that, Xiao Jinquan left with four or five people behind him and continued to lobby in other barracks.
People were talking about it, some were unwilling, some thought 30% was too much, and some suspected that Xiao Jinquan and Hong Xiu were in collusion.
Chen Mu in the corner couldn't help but smile.
I was just thinking about how to leave the team, and now the opportunity has come, right?
However, if I leave alone, it would still be a bit too conspicuous.
Chen Mu couldn't help but look at Shi Dechun.
Old man Shi, who was listening to people's discussions with his ears perked up, suddenly felt cold, turned his head abruptly, and met Chen Mu's strange gaze.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't you want to pay the protection fee?" Chen Mu asked with a smile.
Shi Dechun instinctively wanted to nod, but he forced himself to hold back.
Is this little bald guy going to cause trouble?
"No, I can hand it over." He looked at Chen Mu with a vigilant look.
Chen Mu was stunned.
How can you go against your conscience?!
A red light flashed in his eyes: "Come on, tell me together, you don't want to hand it over."
Shi Dechun's eyes were confused at the time, and then he said woodenly: "Yes, I don't want to hand it in."
Chen Mu's mouth curled up immediately: "It's too conspicuous if one person doesn't make friends. If two people don't make friends, then... it's still a little conspicuous."
He hesitated for a moment, looked at the other people in the room, and narrowed his eyes.
Everyone who was having a heated discussion suddenly felt a chill on their necks, as if there was a ghost in the house.

B3 Flag Camp.
"Do you want to pay the toll?" A red light flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.
