Chapter 267 Beishan Bandits

The result of the negotiation came out quickly. More than 800 captives were all redeemed. The Hua family received 160 fine horses and 450 strong horses. These captives were worth this price here.

The other party sent all the horses the next day, which shows that these horse bandits all came from tribes within 300 miles around.

In the following days, the Hua family horse team encountered many horse bandit teams, but the other party saw them and avoided them from a distance. No battle occurred along the way. The Hua family slave team was already familiar with the rhythm of rushing on horseback.

Now there is no need for the Hua family members to take care of it. After each slave brigade has hundreds of horses, they can use the extra horses to bring more food and daily necessities. Hua Kai only needs to prepare food for them every day, and they don't need to take care of anything else.

In these few days, with the help of the Hua family members, the captains of the 14 brigades spontaneously formed their own emergency squadrons. When they encounter danger, their emergency squadrons can provide protection to other squadrons and serve as the emergency team of the slave brigade. If there are slaves escaping from the slave brigade, these emergency squadrons are the whips to punish the escaped people.

After four days of traveling east, it was already June 15th. In half a month, everyone walked about 2,400 miles. After entering the Linhu grassland, the number of horse bandits increased, and the caravan could only travel about 100 miles a day at most.

On this day, they saw many caravans doing business in the tribes in the north of the Linhu grassland, and found that the number of caravans here was increasing.

Two thousand miles south of here is the Aohan tribe. This area is generally the place with the largest number of caravans. Hua Kai saw many small caravans driving horse carriages into small and medium-sized tribes in exchange for a large number of cattle and sheep. Here, small caravans are the mainstream.

Continuing east, they soon entered the Donghu Kingdom. Donghu Kingdom is different from other grassland countries. The King of Donghu has full rights over the entire country. It is very difficult for ordinary caravans to negotiate with Donghu Kingdom. There are fewer caravans walking in the border area. The tribes of Donghu Kingdom generally go to their Donghu King's Court to exchange for daily necessities. Of course, some tribes secretly trade with Linhu tribes. There are often some Donghu cavalry patrols here. If they find unauthorized caravans entering Donghu Kingdom, they will confiscate all goods. They also often conflict with some caravans and tribes.

Hua Kai knows that Donghu Kingdom has long-term trade cooperation with many big families in Yan Kingdom. They do not allow scattered caravans to enter the Donghu grassland area. This time, they have to cross Donghu Kingdom for more than a thousand miles to return to Gaoliu City.

There are a large number of horse bandits and mountain bandits on the border between Donghu grassland and Linhu grassland. The horse bandits and mountain bandits usually live in the mountains and forests on the border between the two countries. The scale of the mountain bandit horse bandit groups here is not small. They often go deep into Linhu grassland to rob caravans and even some tribes. When they encounter danger, they will retreat to the mountains and forests. Even Linhu and Donghu countries can't do anything to them.

Some people say that the horse bandits here are abandoned soldiers of Donghu country, and some people say that these horse bandits are some big families of Yan country. They formed these horse bandit teams to prevent other caravans from trading with countries north of Donghu country, which makes them earn a lot every year.

Hua Kai rode [Di Lu] into the mountains and forests. This is the fastest trade route from Linhu country to Baoyuguan. Compared with Panlong Eighteen Bends, the mountain road here is much flatter, but Hua Kai dare not be careless at all.

Several gray wolves have been staring at them from a distance. There are many more wild beasts here than on the grassland.

"Tell everyone to speed up. We must pass through this mountain forest today." Hua Kai said to the servants behind him.

This road was the busiest trade route a long time ago. In the end, because there were too many bandits and horse bandits, fewer and fewer people walked on it. However, some large family merchant groups in Yan State often passed through here. If the Hua family wanted to open up the trade route between Gaoliu City and Ordos Tribe, this forest could not be bypassed.

In the distance, someone was watching them from a distance on the hillside, but Hua Kai did not care and ordered 14 slave teams to continue moving forward.

Finally, they saw a flat grassland. Because there were many trees here, everyone took a short rest under the shade of the trees with their horses, and then they continued to move forward.

Until the sun was about to set, the Hua family caravan was finally about to walk out of the forest. At this time, he saw more than a hundred people blocking their way ahead.

The Hua family servants all looked at Hua Kai at the front of the team. If they were ambushed here, they would really have a big battle.

Hua Kai signaled everyone not to move, and he rode forward alone.

"Dear friends, please give the Hua family caravan a favor when it passes by!" Hua Kai said to the bandits in the distance.

"The grassland has its own rules, and we have our own rules in Beishan. I see you dare to bring back so many slaves and horses. You are really brave! Leave half of the horses and slaves and leave!"

The voice came from a thick-bearded man who looked like a leader of the other side. He walked out of the queue and came to Hua Kai and said.

"Half? I'm afraid there is no such rule in the whole grassland! We are the Hua family caravan of Gaoliu County. We may have many places to deal with in the future. I'm afraid this is not the way to get along with friends." Hua Kai checked the other party's attributes and found that he was in the great perfection of Qi training. He knew that this matter might not be so easy to handle.

"Gaoliu County? From Yan State? Gaoliu County may have been deserted a long time ago, and I have never heard of any Hua family in Yan State. Young man, I kindly advise you that the road in Beishan is not so easy to walk. If you are willing to leave half of the slaves and horses, I will kindly let you go today. Otherwise... it's not as simple as leaving half of the goods!" The bandit leader said.

"So... it seems that today can't end peacefully?" Hua Kai said, looking at the bandits around him, six Qi training realm, more than 20 Qi dynamic realm, this road is indeed not so easy to walk.

"Haha! I'll wait for you in front, you still have time to choose, Gaoliu County Hua family..." The bandit leader sneered and left, and the Hua family came behind Hua Kai.

"Master, what should we do now? No, let's notify the fifth master! It only takes two days for our light cavalry to get here. As long as we hold on for two days, they can't do anything to us!" A family servant came to Hua Kai and said.

The 500 elite light cavalry of the Hua family are all wearing [Gold Silk Soft Armor], which is the trump card of the family. It only took two days to get here from Gaoliu County.

"This Beishan Road may be more complicated than we imagined. If we wait for another two days, the trouble may not be just this. I don't think the other party has too many people, otherwise they would not have waited until now to show up." Hua Kai said.

At this time, the Hua family caravan had been traveling for a day and had no time to retreat from the forest. The opponent had seized the opportunity very well. Now there was only one way for Hua Kai to go, that is, to quickly force his way through Beishan and enter the grassland.

The Hua family caravan had the advantage of horses when entering the grassland. If the opponent had a small number of horses, they would not be able to cause them much damage. Hua Kai asked all the members of the Hua family to gather together and ordered 14 slave brigades to follow the Hua family team and kill them with all their strength.

The Hua family caravan moved quickly. All the slaves tried to get closer and followed the Hua family to the east side of Beishan. After passing Beishan, they entered the territory of Donghu. These bandits might take Donghu into consideration and dare not entangle with them for too long.

Hua Kai rode slowly on [Di Lu], and 271 members of the Hua family followed closely behind them. They could already see the blue sky a thousand meters away in the distance. As long as they walked another thousand meters, they could enter the Donghu grassland.

But the figures moving in the forest ahead told everyone that it was not so easy to walk the last 1,000 meters. There were about 500 cavalrymen blocking them. Hua Kai stopped his horse 100 meters away from the opponent.

The thick-bearded bandit leader rode a BMW and looked at Hua Kai quietly. Seeing that Hua Kai had only more than 200 people to fight, he smiled. If they could defeat the Hua family caravan in this battle, their strength would definitely be improved by several levels.

Hua Kai looked at the about 500 bandits on horseback in front of him. They were all at the late stage of the Tempering Body Realm, which was a considerable force among all the horse bandit groups on the grassland.

But Hua Kai smiled in his heart. He looked at the bandits ambushing in the surrounding forests. The number did not exceed 3,000 at most, and the opponent put all the elite at the exit to stop them. Presumably, the strength of the ambushing people on both sides was not as good as that of the Hua family slave team. With such strength, they dared to intercept him.

Hua Kai rode slowly towards the opponent. Hua Kai communicated with the members of the Hua family around him with his eyes. Everyone knew what he meant and rode slowly behind him.

Some people on the bandit side thought that the Hua family caravan was going to negotiate again, and everyone was waiting quietly. However, when Hua Kai was only more than ten meters away from the other side, he did not stop his horse but instead accelerated his speed and rushed forward. Seeing this, the Hua family servants also rushed forward on horseback.

The bandits knew that the other side was going to choose to fight. Seeing that Hua Kai dared to kill him alone, the bandit leader did not dare to be careless and summoned all the members of the Qi training realm to kill Hua Kai. A bandit of the Qi training realm died when the two sides came into contact. The bandits knew that they might be in trouble this time.

Hua Kai knew that only by quickly dispersing the more than 500 elite bandits in front of him could the Hua family slave brigade quickly leave this mountain forest. It is rumored that the number of horse bandits and mountain bandits between Donghu and Linhu exceeded 100,000, and he did not dare to stay here for too long.

More than ten people besieged Hua Kai together. Some bandits turned to attack his [Di Lu]. As long as they killed the horse, even the strength of the Xiantian realm would be greatly reduced. However, they did not expect that [Di Lu] was a divine horse. It neighed and all the attacks were blocked by an energy shield. Many bandits' horses began to retreat after hearing this, and some bandits almost fell off their horses.

Hua Kai ignored the surrounding attacks. He aimed at the bandit who was negotiating with him and killed him with all his strength. The opponent was stabbed and fell off his horse in just three moves. After possessing the second level of [Ice Power], Hua Kai's true energy carried the ice deceleration effect. Without other willpower to compete with him, it was difficult to survive three moves under his hands.
