    Gao Teng felt that he must have forgotten to ask God to bless him when he went out this time. Otherwise, how could he be caught in this mountain cave by a group of robbers on the way? The four warriors he hired were also captured within a few moves. When did such a group of masters blocking the road appear near Donggao Town?

    It’s not good for fleeting years, it’s bad for fleeting years, even if you lose the goods this time, you’re afraid that you won’t even be able to save your own life.

    "You...what do you want to do?" Gao Teng pretended to be calm and looked at the tall men in front of him. They were dressed in mountain people's clothes. They were sturdy and expressionless. It seemed that it was difficult to communicate.

    Sure enough, these people didn't answer Gao Teng's question, they just stomped on the spot.

    Gao Teng was ready to speak again, when he saw someone came in from outside the cave.

    Although the person who came here was dressed in rough clothes, he was handsome in appearance and had an extraordinary temperament. Judging from his experience of traveling all over the world for several years, this person was definitely not a villager in the mountains.

    "Who are you? What are you going to do?" The robbers will either take the goods and leave, or they will see blood.

    "Don't be nervous." Murphy looked at the poor guy who was caught by them, and said lightly, "We caught you just to ask a few questions."

    "What do you want to ask?" Seeing this man's calm tone, Gao Teng felt a little calmer in his heart.

    "Your name? Where do you come from? What business do you do in Donggao Town?"

    Gao Teng asked hesitantly, "If I answer, you won't kill me?"

    Murphy nodded.

    "Okay." Gao Teng stood back and replied, "My surname is Gao Mingteng, I am a native of Chilong Township in Nanhuang Mountain, and I came to Donggao to buy animal skins, herbs, grains, etc. Jade and some small objects."

    "Jade? That's what you're talking about?" Mo Fei took out a palm-sized jade ornament from his bosom and said casually, "This piece of jade is rough in carving, and the quality of jade is inferior. There is nothing good about the goods on your mule or horse. Things. You should know that foreign businessmen who go to Donggao Town need to pay the boss to buy and sell money, so you can use this kind of thing to charge up?"

    Gao Teng smiled reluctantly, and asked carefully: "Your Excellency, is your Excellency the guard of the leader?"

    "Just answer my question, there's no need to ask redundant words."

    "Yes, yes." Gao Teng said hurriedly, "Of course I don't dare to use this inferior item to recharge, and I have everything ready for the leader." After speaking, he took out a brocade box from his arms.

    Mo Fei opened the brocade box and saw that there were five jade ornaments placed in the box, which were beautifully carved and crystal clear. What was even more rare was that the five jade carvings were yellow, purple, red, green and blue, meaning auspiciousness. Truly a treasure. If such a thing was put into her original world, it would definitely be a luxury item of tens of millions.

    The surrounding Tai tribes couldn't help showing expressions of amazement when they saw it, only Murphy remained indifferent.

    She put away the brocade box and said to Gao Teng expressionlessly, "Okay, Gao Teng, take off your clothes now."

    "What?" Gao Teng subconsciously hugged himself with both hands, and said nervously, "What are you doing taking off your clothes?" Could this group of robbers still be robbed?

    Seeing this man's terrified look as if he was about to be stabbed, the corners of Murphy's mouth twitched. This Gao Teng is about 20 years old, a few inches shorter than Murphy, his facial features are still correct, but his face is slightly fat, like a dumpling. difficulty.

    "Bo Wu, go and help him take off his clothes, move faster." Murphy didn't plan to linger any more, and said to Bo Wu who was beside him.

    "Okay!" Bo Wu immediately showed a very wretched smile, and walked towards Gao Teng eagerly, and then heard Gao Teng's desolate and tragic scream...

    Murphy put on the clothes that Gao Teng had taken off, and then put the brocade box into his arms. At this time, four warriors dressed in Nanhuangshan costumes walked in outside the cave.

    One of them said, "Sir, everything is ready."

    Murphy nodded and said to Gao Teng who was still in shock in the corner: "You have to be wronged to go to the Tai tribe for a few days. Don't worry, it won't hurt your life, and then your things will be returned intact."

    "You... Who are you? What do you want to do?" Gao Teng finally realized that this group of people was unusual, and his heart trembled.

    Murphy didn't answer, just walked out with four Tai people disguised as warriors.

    Originally, they were going to enter Donggao Town by changing their clothes, but they happened to meet Gao Teng and others who were driving mules and horses. Seeing that their clothes were different from those of the locals, Murphy knew that her plan was not enough, so she made up her mind. The poor guy Gao Teng was captured, who made him appear so coincidentally...

    A group of five people pulled mules and horses into Donggao Town.

    Donggao Town is bigger than Murphy imagined. The side walls are made of stones, more than three meters high. The walls are covered with green vines, and they look old and old. Passing through the gate, there is a loess road in front of you, with houses on both sides. Although the structure is simple, they are neatly arranged and arranged in an orderly manner. After walking for a while, we arrived at the Beizhen Market, where people shuttled and shouted incessantly, but it was very lively.

    In addition to the various shops in the town, there are many villagers going to the market and foreign businessmen buying and selling goods on the streets. The difference between locals and foreigners can be seen from the clothes.

    "Sir, when businessmen from other places come here, they usually stay at the Wanlai Inn." Saduo, one of the four people who accompanied Murphy, whispered.

    "Okay, you lead the way, let's go to Wanlai Inn."

    Several people came to Wanlai Inn, found a place to sit down, and asked Xiao Er for a few cups of tea.

    Murphy looked around without a trace, and sure enough, almost all of the people present were foreigners with various accents. If you listen carefully, you can gather a lot of information.

    When paying attention to others, Murphy and the other five also attracted much attention.

    The four warriors of the Tai tribe are tall and mighty, and their long-term life in the mountain forest gives them a sense of beast-like danger.

    Murphy's appearance and temperament stand out, and her short hair is unattractive because she wears a felt hat, but her elegant and calm demeanor, which is different from ordinary literati, cannot be ignored. Meeting such a person in this remote place is like discovering a strange treasure in a nook and cranny.

    "This little brother is polite." A man came over to say hello. This man is about forty years old, and his clothes are still gorgeous, at least more delicate than what Murphy wears.

    "Hello." Murphy didn't get up, just nodded lightly to the person who came.

    The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My dear Luo Zhang, what do you call my little brother?"

    "Gaotu." Murphy used a pseudonym.

    "It turned out to be Brother Gao. I think that Brother Gao has an extraordinary bearing and wants to meet up. I wonder if Brother Gao would mind?"

    "Brother Luo, you're welcome, please take a seat." Murphy waved to him.

    After Luo Zhang thanked him and sat down, he was very surprised. The man in front of him seemed to have been in a high position for a long time, otherwise he would never have behaved like this. He has been in business for decades and has seen countless people. Even in the prosperous Liandu, it is rare to see such a person.

    "I don't know where Brother Gao came from? Doing business or traveling in the mountains and rivers?" Luo Zhang asked tentatively.

    "Business." Murphy said, "It's just some small business, not worth mentioning. It's Brother Luo, who must be an extraordinary small business hawker."

    "Haha, I'm buying and selling cloth and spices, and it's just a small business." Seeing that the other party was deliberately avoiding the source, Luo Zhang didn't ask any more, but said, "I was discussing with a few companions about going to the lord's mansion just now, I don't know. Has Brother Gao visited the leaders of Donggao Town?"

    "Not yet." Mo Fei moved in his heart and asked, "When does Brother Luo plan to go?"

    "I'm about to leave, the rules of the lord's mansion, after the meeting, the chief will invite everyone to stay for a while and visit their house." When Luo Zhang said this, a bit of disdain flashed in his eyes, but it quickly returned to normal, just listen to him continue Said, "I don't know if Brother Gao will go with you?"

    "Happy." Murphy cupped his hands and said, "I have little experience in business, I have Brother Lauro to take care of it."

    "Haha, no problem." Luo Zhang laughed a few times, then seemed to remember something, his face changed, he hesitated for a while before whispering, "Brother Gao, do you know something about the leaders of Donggao Town? ?"

    "Brother Luo, what do you mean by this?" Mo Fei's face was still, but he could probably guess what Luo Zhang was going to say in his heart.

    "Several leaders are... all romantic people."

    Merry? Murphy sneered in his heart, which is really euphemistic. She said: "Thank you Brother Luo for your concern, I have a good idea."

    "Brother Gao has a good idea. I don't want people like Brother Gao to be bullied." Luo Zhang looked at Murphy and said sincerely.

    "Thank you." Murphy thanked again. The person in front of him has a good heart.

    After a few more chats, they invited each other to set off together.

    Murphy and others only had two mules and horses, while Luo Zhang and others had a team of mules and horses. Of course, these were temporarily stored in the inn, and they only sent a few leaders to the lord's mansion, while Murphy brought two Tai people.

    Donggao Town is just an ordinary town. The locals are diligent and good at farming and live a simple life, but the lord's mansion is like a castle in the sky. I would like to compare it with the mansion, but it stands out from the crowd here, and it is very incongruous.

    After the notification, Murphy and others were welcomed into the mansion by their servants. The interior decoration of the mansion is eye-opening, and it is indeed a must to decorate a quaint building like a nouveau riche.

    Golden willows hang in the rockery, pearls are set on the stone pillars, and divine beasts are placed in the garden... The corner of Mo Fei's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.

    Luo Zhang and others are not surprised. This is not the first time they have come to the lord's mansion. Every time they come to Donggao Town to do business, they have to pay tribute once. This is a common practice. Foreign businessmen can travel here unimpeded only if they have obtained a business pass.

    The servant arranged a room for each of them, and told the leader to summon everyone one by one, and asked everyone to prepare.

    What else can you do to prepare, it is nothing more than a gift.

    Several people spit in their hearts.

    Sadow said to Murphy: "The leader will be summoned separately later, I'm afraid we can't follow, sir..."

    "Don't worry." Murphy said, "Donggao Town's prosperity depends on the exchanges of merchants from all over the world. Those people will not easily offend the merchants."

    "But..." Sado and others were still a little worried.

    Murphy comforted: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself. Besides, the patriarch and the others are already lurking nearby. If there is any change, they can help at any time. The guards in the assassin's mansion are probably less than 100 people."

    Her confidence comes from Zhan Yi. With Zhan Yi's skills, it shouldn't be difficult to solve several leaders. Even if they are superb in martial arts, how high can they be higher than Qi Su or Lone Crane? Even more delusional and Wu Yue than.

    But that's the worst-case scenario, and it's best to avoid conflict and rush into action until you're fully prepared.

    After lunch, the servant finally came the order to summon the leader. Luo Zhang and others next door have already met, and Murphy is the last one.

    Murphy followed the servant slowly, but his heart was very calm.

    A few underlings are reckless, why should you be afraid?

    The author has something to say: This chapter is a process, and the next chapter will solve several leaders! Futu is about to become famous from now on...
