The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Seeing Adu take out the silver, the leading bandit smiled. He was sensible and didn't make things difficult for him. He waved his hand and made way.

Seeing that Adu solved the problem in just a few moves, Yang Qi finally felt relieved and put the dagger back.

After making sure that the carriage had left the bandits' territory, Yang Qi spoke up, "We are still five days away from Xihu, but I didn't expect that there would be bandits now."

Xiao Qing explained, "These bandits don't gather together. Each mountain has its own rules and territory. Now that we have encountered bandits, no one in this mountain will come to embarrass us again."

After sorting out his thoughts, Yang Qi said, "Is this a rule set by the bandits?"

Xiaoqing lifted the curtain, looked out, and nodded.

Yang Qi was a little confused when he heard this: "Are these bandits really so disciplined?"

Xiao Qing lowered the curtain and laughed sarcastically, "If they want to survive in the underworld, they must follow the rules. If they open this loophole of breaking the rules first, other mountain leaders will naturally break the rules and attack them.

We have just paid the "bribe", and the bandits should have given Adu a receipt. If we meet the bandits again later, Adu just needs to show them the receipt and they will not make things difficult for us.

When we finally leave this mountain, the responsible bandits will naturally come and take back the certificate.”

Are today's bandits so organized?

Yang Qi originally thought that these bandits were a bunch of rabble, and that the court was inactive, so they were allowed to exist. After this personal experience, he realized that the bandits were not just empty-headed fools, and that they were being managed in a reasonable way.

It's surprising that they still know how to follow the rules with each other.

Although these bandits were able to thrive in the local area, they were lucky because the imperial court did not pay much attention to them. However, if the bandits started fighting among themselves, it would only weaken their own strength and give the imperial court an opportunity.

Just as Xiaoqing said, they encountered three groups of bandits along the way, but as long as Adu showed him the credentials, these bandits did not make things difficult for them.

The sun was about to set, and Adu looked at the map and said, "Third sister, due to various reasons, the actual arrangement is somewhat different from what is marked on the map.

I am worried that the inn marked on the map ahead might be different, so why not rest at the inn here. "

Yang Qi opened the curtain, waved at Ah Du, motioned Ah Du to come closer, and whispered: "Brother, we haven't left the bandit territory yet, right? Aren't all the inns here shady?"

It's said in the books that there are quite a few black shops out there, and their usual trick is to drug the customers and make them faint, then take away their valuables and chop them into pieces.

Thinking of this, Yang Qi couldn't help but touch his neck.

Ah Du nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Don't worry, Third Sister, we are here for you."

Seeing Adu's indifferent look, Yang Qi couldn't help but said again: "Brother, have you ever stayed in a shady shop? How come you are so calm?" This is a shady shop.

Adu looked around and said to Yangqi, "Third sister, it's not convenient to talk now, let Xiaoqing explain to you." Then, Adu automatically lowered the curtain that Yangqi had lifted.

Sitting back in the carriage, Yang Qi looked at Xiao Qing and blinked. Xiao Qing should have heard the conversation between him and Adu just now.

Xiaoqing handed Yangqi a piece of fruit and said, "Miss, don't worry. Even if we hurry up and leave this mountain today, who can guarantee that the inn outside is not a shady shop?

The situation outside is very chaotic right now. How could someone without background or means open this inn?

A-Du and I have a lot of experience. If you are in a black shop, just be careful and don't use the things in the shop or eat the food in the shop. "

Yang Qi felt a little pain in his head and couldn't help patting his head. Xiao Qing and other experienced secret guards would naturally not worry about staying in a black shop, but he was just a lady from a wealthy family who never left the house. How could he have experienced this?

Yang Qi has always been a person who thinks twice before he acts, and is used to looking three steps ahead before doing anything. This trip to Xihu, every experience he had was new, and he was following behind Adu.

This inn was different from the previous ones. There was no waiter outside soliciting customers. When Yang Qi and his group arrived, they tied their horses to the stable.

Wearing a veil, Yang Qi looked around and said to Adu, "It seems that there are a lot of people resting in this inn." The small stable had more than ten horses and was almost full.

Ah Du nodded and said, "In recent years, the inn's business has been bad. I think all the nearby inns have gone out of business. This may be the only choice for travelers."

How could a decent inn be open when there were bandits all around? Not to mention opening it normally, most innkeepers would have packed up their gold and silver and fled when they encountered bandits.

Ah Du had no choice but to rest in the black shop. The area around here was in chaos. Even if the bandits didn't attack him, who could guarantee that passersby wouldn't be tempted by the money? The weather was hot now, and both people and horses needed to rest. Since there were dangers everywhere, it was better to choose a place with better conditions.

Most of those who could rest in the bandit inn knew the rules of the underworld. As long as others did not provoke them, they would not attack them. If they encountered some blind people, they would not be afraid.

After settling the horses, Yang Qi touched Xiao Bai and thought, Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, the shop we are staying in now is probably a shady shop. You should be careful and alert at night. Don't sleep too deeply today. If anything happens, we can run away in time.

Perhaps sensing Yang Qi's worry, Xiaobai lowered his neck and rubbed against Yang Qi in a flattering manner, as if to say, don't worry, master.

In order to make Xiaobai feel more comfortable, Yang Qi tiptoed, touched Xiaobai's temples with a smile, and carefully fed him the tender grass taken from the carriage.

Of course, Yang Qi also did not leave behind Adu and the others’ horses.

After feeding the horses, Yang Qi clapped his hands and said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, let's go in."

Ah Du nodded, then gave Xiao Qing a look. Since they encountered the bandits today, everyone needs to be on high alert.

As soon as Yang Qi stood still, Adu and Ayi automatically walked in front of Yang Qi, Xiaoqing stood closely beside Yang Qi, and Chen Jing stood behind Yang Qi with a box. Everyone automatically surrounded Yang Qi.
