Chapter 53 This Road Is My Drive
"Huh? All right, 500 taels a catty, thank you for your patronage." Anyway, I went to Yanshan City to set up a stall to sell it, and now there is a good start on the road. This uncle couldn't wait for it.

After Xiuyi paid the money, he picked a few peaches that looked good and put them in his bag, and then he didn't leave directly, but started to talk to the uncle.

"Uncle, I want to ask you something, why are so many of you walking together? I have never seen such a long caravan."

"Oh, you should not be a resident of Yanshan City. Have you seen the trademark in front of you? It is a large chamber of commerce in the capital of the country of fire. It departs from the capital every month and makes a big circle around the capital. Every city it passes through There will be transactions.”

"I came from the city near Yanshan City. An individual merchant like me can go with the entire caravan as long as he pays a small amount, so that he can be protected by the army." The uncle saw that Xiuyi was his customer. , explained a sentence.

"So that's it, thank you, uncle! We are destined to meet again." Xiuyi did not continue to follow the caravan to Yanshan City, but pretended to be traveling in another direction.

This fruit seller is located at the front of the caravan, following the large amount of goods in the Fire Nation caravan, there are many individual merchants selling various supplies behind him.

Xiuyi walked slowly near the side of the road, but not far from the caravan. He carefully observed every merchant passing by him.

Suddenly, a caravan transporting grain caught his attention.

They have a total of 3 trucks moving next to each other, and each truck has two people pushing it. The top of the truck is half covered, and people next to them can still see bags of food faintly leaking out.

Xiuyi narrowed his eyes, but still walked slowly as if nothing had happened.After a while, the entire caravan passed by Xiuyi, but he stopped at the same spot.

When he came to the middle of the road, Xiu half squatted and looked at the traces on the ground, and Dashemaru also came to Xiuyi's side at this time.

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Xiuyi's judgment is correct! We have already caught their whereabouts, and you didn't act immediately just now, so what are you going to do?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.

"They can run away now, monks can't run away from the temple, and I didn't find Amaru just now, I think he should be in the caravan, just disguised." Xiuyi analyzed calmly, and also explained the reason why he didn't do it directly just now. .

That's right, Xiuyi has already targeted the rebels, that is, the caravan transporting food just now.

The first reason is that Xiuyi discovered the abnormality of their trucks. Among other merchants, many people had a lot of goods, but none of them would leave obvious marks on the ground.

However, the places where the three trucks passed did have obvious wheel indentations, which obviously did not match the condition of the goods on the trucks. Even if they were fully loaded with grain, they would not be so heavy.

The second reason is the physical condition of the cart pusher. It must be difficult for ordinary people to push such a heavy cart, just like the fruit seller.

But judging from the demeanor of these people, it is obvious that they are not very tired. At the same time, the posture of transporting goods is also different from those of the old merchants. At first glance, they are at the level of novices, so these people are likely to be the ones in the Renren gang. A few patience.

Because the Konoha team focused on Amaru Chunin last time, Shuichi didn't have detailed information about these ninjas, but this time, Shuichi had already remembered the appearance of each of them.

The reason Xiuyi didn't do anything was because he didn't find Amaru. If he only killed these ninjas, then he probably wouldn't show up.

Now there are two paths for Shuichi to choose, one is to find a way to do something to catch Amaru out during the remaining journey, and it is impossible for the remaining ninjas to escape from him and Orochimaru.

The other is to let Amaru enter Iwayama Castle, and then wait for the moment when they finish the transaction and start to share the spoils. Amaru will definitely show up and take most of it.

After thinking about it again and again, Xiuyi still felt that it was too passive to wait until the time of the transaction. In case they had already contacted the transaction personnel in the city, other twists and turns might occur at that time.

What's more troublesome is that this group of traitors are mixed in the caravan of ordinary people, and if there is a fight at that time, it will bring them a huge disaster.

According to this situation, Xiuyi formulated a not-complicated trouble-making plan, shared his thoughts with Orochimaru, and then the two followed the caravan from the woods beside the road.

The next step is where to do it, because the surrounding area of ​​the 10-kilometer road near Yanshan City has already been explored last night, so Xiuyi is going to do it near there.

After more than an hour, the caravan maintained an even speed and headed towards Yanshan City.It will be here soon, thinking that they will be able to enter the city for transactions before noon, many individual merchants have cheered up.

At this moment, a gang dressed as robbers rushed out of the woods on both sides of the road. The leader held a short knife in his hand, and the two behind him carried a big wooden stick in their hands. masked.

Behind them, there were a few bastards who seemed to be in a hurry to follow without saying a word. It looked like a team of robbers.

"Rooters! Hand over the iron ore, and the irrelevant personnel leave immediately!" The leader of the young man with a short knife led the team straight to the three carts of grain and grass, shouting loudly.

"Who are you? This is the team of the Fire Country Sakura Chamber of Commerce. If you don't want to be wanted by the ninjas of Konoha Village, get out." A soldier closest to here quickly discovered the situation in the caravan and came over and shouted.

The movement here was quickly discovered by the entire caravan, and the soldiers at the head, tail and other places rushed here as fast as possible.

And the nearby self-employed merchants seem to have a lot of experience. When they saw that the robbers were not coming towards them, most of them dropped their goods and ran to the woods on both sides. Some people even rushed to their trucks before running. I touched it twice, as if I was running with something more important.

In a few breaths, the soldiers vaguely surrounded the gang of robbers and the three vehicles loaded with grain and grass, and then a soldier with a belt card stepped forward into the encirclement, pointing a long gun at the robbers and the few slaves. Disguised farmers, and then asked them.

"What's going on? Are you not afraid of death if you dare to rob the large caravan of the Fire Nation?"

"I made it very clear just now. These few people are not farmers. They are all rebels from various villages. This batch of goods is iron ore, not grain." The masked bandit headed said sharply.

"So what kind of business association you guys have to get out of here quickly. Your uncle and I are Chunin. We are not interested in other goods. If you dare to intervene in this, even if you are wanted by Konoha, we will not miss it."

When the originally aggressive soldiers heard that they were surrounded by ninjas, many of them immediately panicked. Ordinary people have no way to fight against ninjas!

If this is done, it is estimated that a large number of people will die immediately, and this gang of robbers just stared at these 3 trucks, ignoring other merchants.
