Chapter 1376 (2/2)

In fact, what Chu Yan wanted to talk about at this time was that when he was eight years old, he killed 760 black wind bandits in luoyuegu, Nanyuan Prefecture, and opened up the northwest business road.

Only at this time, he did not recall.

The village head stares at Chu Yan, expecting his next words, but seeing Chu Yan frowning, he immediately knows what's going on.

So he comforted Chu Yan and said, ”you don't have to be too anxious about amnesia. When you have time, I'll ask people in the village to pay attention to it for you. Maybe you can find clues about your origin and identity along the way.”

At this time, the village head has determined that Chu Yan is a member of the caravan hijacked by the bandits of Longji mountain, so he doesn't say much about the survival of your companions, for fear of stimulating Chu Yan.

But at this time, Chu Yan's mind was not on it, so he didn't think much about it. After thanking him, he asked the village head to follow the previous topic.

”Well, that's about it, because Longji mountain is the only way to several nearby cities.

If you choose to take a detour, it's normal to spend more time on the road for two or three months.

So the caravan had to walk from Longji mountain.

And those mountain bandits rely on the caravan to survive. There is no need to plunder outside the mountain, and the risk of plundering outside the mountain is also great. ”

Speaking of this, the village head paused for a moment, and then continued: ”but in the past half a month or so, I heard that there seems to be some natural disaster. Well, I think it should be because I was sitting at home that day, and I obviously felt the ground shaking a few times.

It's said that there are children in the village who were shaken down from their beds.

Anyway, from that day on, the caravan passing through Longji mountain suddenly became more and more. ”

The village head opened his hand and straightened his finger: ”five times more than usual!”

”That's a lot. If it's a natural disaster, it's either to avoid goods or to make a profit.” Chu Yan immediately said, ”in this case, the latter is more likely, so mountain bandits should be out quite frequently during this period of time.

After all, merchants who want to make a profit will bring a lot of gold and silver, as well as more important materials for bandits. ”

”You guessed it.” The village head can't help but open his eyes, ”have you heard other people talk about it before?”

”No Chu Yan shook his head, ”but it's not hard to guess. You must think so, village head.”

”Er... Er, yes.” The village head blinked and nodded.

Chu Yan didn't care about the village head's slightly unnatural look. He looked around and continued: ”I understand when I say that.

Since mountain bandits have been frequent recently, those caravans naturally need more people to escort them.

And those who invite soldiers from other places, or those brought by their own families, will inevitably spend a lot on the road, and once there is a loss of personnel, it is the loss of their own families.

Even if the goods are delivered, it will make a lot of money, but if the family members are killed, it is also a loss that the family can not make up for in a short time.

So the most appropriate way is to hire local villagers to join the escort team.

Villagers have lived here for generations and know more about the environment of Longji mountain than others.

Moreover, the villagers themselves are very exclusive of the mountain bandits. As long as the price is settled, they will be the most suitable guards along the way. ”

Chu Yan pointed to some nearby villagers who were walking around with swords and swords and said, ”they should have such work today. Am I right, village head?”
