"Be careful everyone!
Protect the lady!”
As the leader of the guards in this team, Li Ergou reminded the experts from ‘Si Hai Bang’ and then rode straight towards the group.
He reined in his horse at a distance of one zhang.
"Thank you all for your hard work.”
This expert from ‘Si Hai Bang’ was very polite at the mont, even when facing a group clearly inferior to himself, he showed not a trace of arrogance.
As a seasoned martial artist, Li Ergou, this expert of ‘Si Hai Bang’, had his own set of standards.
Or rather: survival principles.
He followed strength but also respected everyone.
He would never resort to violence if he could maintain harmony.
However, once violence was necessary, he would show no rcy, eradicating every trace.
Never allowing the opponent a chance for resurgence.
There’s no such thing as thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
Even if it ant death with no burial, he’d strike with the force of thunder.
This was the insight Li Ergou, the expert from ‘Si Hai Bang’, had gained from years in the martial world.
And it was how he acted.
This mont was no exception.
Looking at the obvious leaders, Li Ergou clasped his hands respectfully.
The leaders on the opposite side imdiately returned the greeting with clasped hands.
"Thank you, Steward.”
After the unified response, the true manager of this cavalry team urged his horse forward.
A man wearing a tiger skin vest, donning a black cloak, with a face of bristle-like whiskers, holding a large knife, reined in his horse before Li Ergou.
"Having heard that ‘Heavenly Sword’ Lord Mu is passing by, ‘Wo Hu Zai’ has specially prepared a small gift, hoping Lord Mu won’t mind.”
After speaking, this leader turned and returned to the team without waiting for Li Ergou’s response.
Then the team turned their horses and left.
The dust rose into the air.
Monts later, only a bundle was left on the ground.
Wo Hu Zai?
‘Five Tigers Breakthrough Blade’ Peng Hu!
Li Ergou, the expert from ‘Si Hai Bang’, instantly guessed the identity of the other party, a look of surprise in his eyes.
‘Wo Hu Zai’ is also a major force in the outlaws.
The leader ‘Five Tigers Breakthrough Blade’ Peng Hu is a master who has reshaped his ‘Bone Marrow’.
Why are they here?
Bringing gifts?
Glancing at the bundle on the ground, Li Ergou imdiately reported to Jason sitting in the carriage.
“‘Wo Hu Zai’?”
Jason had not heard of this force.
"Not a bandit force near ‘Jin Port’, but closer to ‘Daocheng’. Though not too far from here, they occasionally appear for big deals.
The leader of ‘Wo Hu Zai’ is ‘Five Tigers Breakthrough Blade’ Peng Hu. Word has it that he reshaped his ‘Bone Marrow’ years ago, becoming a master in his own right.
I just don’t know what their intentions are this ti…”
Before Li Ergou could finish speaking, he saw Jason had already picked up the bundle.
When picking up the bundle, Jason confird it posed no danger.
On the contrary, it carried a faint fragrance.
It was ‘food’.
Not the cakes sent by ‘Green Wood Island’.
But ‘Secret dicine’.
Jason opened the bundle, imdiately seeing a box, clearly containing ‘Secret dicine’, with a layer of Gold Leaves beneath it, at least a thousand pieces upon a glance.
"Ginseng Toad Pill? What a grand gesture!”
Li Ergou looked at the three pills revealed by Jason, eyes filled with astonishnt.
Ginseng Toad Pill, as a top-tier mid-to-high grade secret dicine, each pill is worth about three thousand silver coins, totaling nine thousand for three pills; if urgently needed, it could sell for ten thousand silver coins, plus the thousand Gold Leaves exchanged for silver coins being five thousand.
Roughly calculated, this amounts to fifteen thousand silver coins.
Even Li Ergou, an expert from ‘Si Hai Bang’, couldn’t help but be taken aback.
It’s not that he hasn’t seen it before.
He hasn’t seen it given so generously.
It was truly perplexing.
Li Ergou couldn’t help but ponder.
‘Wo Hu Zai’ is regarded as the leading bandit near ‘Daocheng’.
In the entire Empire’s outlaw realm, they’re considered significant figures.
Engaging in profit-driven businesses.
However, they are known not to engage in murders for gain, usually seeking wealth.
But the more such people, the less Li Ergou believed they would curry favor with Jason without reason.
As Li Ergou contemplated, Jason naturally pondered too, tossing the whole bundle, including the three Ginseng Toad Pills and Gold Leaves to Dou Bao — Dou Bao had begun the ‘Skin Training’, with the Ginseng Toad Pill’s effects peaking during this stage.
Better allowing Dou Bao to develop a greater self-defense capability than rely satisfying Jason’s hunger.
Thus, even as Jason drooled, he still gave them away.
Despite the Ginseng Toad Pills being precious, the safety of his little chef was more crucial.
Taking the bundle, Dou Bao’s eyes squinted with joy, resembling crescent moons.
She naturally understood Jason’s intention.
Of course, Dou Bao wasn’t pretentious.
She simply smiled sweetly.
Shifting sideways, letting Jason return to the carriage.
The convoy set off again, with over thirty experts from ‘Si Hai Bang’, excluding the three scouting ahead and two patrolling behind, scattered around the convoy.
Having encountered ‘Green Wood Island’ and ‘Wo Hu Zai’, these experts from ‘Si Hai Bang’ beca even more vigilant instead of relaxing.
This situation was truly unusual.
Soon, several carrier pigeons flew from the convoy.
