It will probably take five or six days to travel from Jingzhou to Hanzhong.

In addition, what everyone has to do during this period is to lure the evil Matai assassin to appear again, and the speed is obviously much slower than before.

Everyone expects to arrive in Hanzhong in about ten days.

Soon, two days passed.

Except for the occasional caravan traveling from Jingzhou to other places, there was nothing unusual in the surrounding area.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but said with some doubt:

"Did you think too much, sir? In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Cao Zhi?"

Li Cunxiao smiled calmly:

"We still have about eight days to go, so don't be so hasty in making a conclusion."

Jiang Wei nodded weakly and touched the inner armor given by Bai Feng with his palm.

With this, it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

Moreover, the hundred cavalry brought here are all the best among the best.

At this time, Jiang Wei was not afraid that these assassins would come out, but that they would not come out.

If this is the case, the clue is broken.

These Yamatai people actually entered the territory of the Central Plains so openly, and there were definitely a lot of them.

What's more, they may not be the only one they assassinate.

If he harmed one party and specialized in assassinating people for a living, wouldn't that mean he turned a blind eye to the laws of the Wei Dynasty?

Just as Jiang Wei was thinking about all this, Li Cunxiao on the side suddenly frowned:

"etc!"

"Look at the caravan in front of you, it seems like it's in trouble?"

Jiang Wei couldn't help but follow the sound.

The caravan in front seemed to be from Jingzhou, escorting a lot of goods.

At this moment, people were already on their backs and living creatures were scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Wei remembered that he had seen this caravan passing by yesterday, but they were faster than his group who deliberately slowed down, and they did not take the official road afterwards.

Therefore, the two teams quickly separated.

But now, I actually saw such a scene!

"Let's go over and have a look."

Jiang Wei frowned and hurriedly took his soldiers with him.

When he got closer, Jiang Wei saw several corpses lying next to the carriage!

There were cuts everywhere on the body, blood was flowing all over the ground, it was too horrible to look at.

However, Jiang Wei unexpectedly discovered that there was still a human presence in the carriage!

When Li Cunxiao saw this, he used Bi Yan in his hand to open the door curtain of the carriage.

A wealthy businessman walked out in a panic, shrinking his neck and saying:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I really have no money on you!"

"All the money has been taken away by you. These goods of mine are all tea, which is not in line with the king's appetite."

"Please, Your Majesty, give me a way to survive!"

As he spoke, the merchant kept kowtowing with a look of fear on his face.

Li Cunxiao suddenly smiled bitterly, turned to Jiang Wei and said:

"It looks like it was robbed by bandits."

Li Cunxiao was speechless now. He never thought that he would spend most of his battles begging thieves, and that one day he would be considered a bandit.

Jiang Wei gave a helpless smile, walked forward and said:

"Don't be afraid, we are not bandits, we are officers and soldiers of Hanzhong."

"Let me ask you, when was your carriage attacked?"

After hearing Jiang Wei's words, the merchant slowly raised his head.

Looking at everyone's costumes and the "Wei" flags held by everyone, I breathed a sigh of relief:

"It turns out it's Mr. Guan..."

"Sir, this little person's life is miserable!"

"Those thieves suddenly attacked the villain half an hour ago, killing all the villain's guards and plundering all the money."

"Fortunately, the villain's goods are tea, and they are not interested."

"The little man hid in the carriage and didn't dare to breathe, so he survived!"

Hearing the merchant's words, Jiang Wei couldn't help but frown:

"This place should belong to Bashu, so why are there still rogue bandits in Bashu?"

The merchant cried and shouted:

"Even the villain doesn't know!"

"Those thieves are very vicious. They come up to kill people without saying a word, even if they give all the villain's money."

After hearing this, Li Cunxiao whispered to Jiang Wei:

"Boyo, this matter shouldn't be that simple."

"What this merchant encountered was probably not a bandit, but an assassin from Yamatai."

"Look, this merchant's carriage is also holding a Wei flag. This is the only way we must pass. Maybe they admitted their mistake."

Jiang Wei shook his head helplessly:

"It seems that we need to be more careful."

"What are you still doing here? Don't you quickly pack up your goods and go to your destination?"

"If you encounter bandits again, I'm afraid your life will be lost."

Jiang Wei was really too lazy to care about these things, but after all, he was related to the assassin of Yamatai, and this guy was also a victim, so he couldn't help but say more.

The merchant burst into tears:

"Sir! Please take the little one with you. The little one is about to go to Hanzhong. Once he gets to Hanzhong, he will definitely thank you!"

"I heard that there were no bandits here, so I was so confident and bold in taking the official route, but now I still encountered bandits!"

"What should I do if I encounter bandits alone?"

"By the way, sir, these are all the best tea cakes. If you need it, I can give you some as a thank you gift!"

The merchant knelt on the ground and begged again, obviously frightened by the bandits.

Jiang Wei sighed helplessly.

Unexpectedly, he was actually entangled?

"Okay, then you follow closely. If you don't keep up, you have only yourself to blame."

"As for the tea cake, you'd better keep it for yourself."

After saying that, Jiang Wei got on his horse again.

The merchant suddenly burst into tears of joy:

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

After that, the merchant quickly packed up all the scattered tea cakes, and Jiang Wei also sent someone to help him pull the overturned carriage back.

The merchants took their own carriages and followed Jiang Wei closely for fear of encountering bandits again.

"It seems that it is necessary to inform this matter, sir."

"If it's not the Yamatai assassin, it's most likely a rogue bandit."

"In this land of Bashu, there are actually rogue bandits, and they are so close to Hanzhong."

"There are many caravans in Hanzhong. If they are often killed, wouldn't it be detrimental to Hanzhong?"

While riding his horse, Jiang Wei whispered filial piety to Li Cun.

Li Cunxiao nodded slightly:

"But I still feel that this matter should be related to the assassins of Yamatai."

"How could an ordinary bandit be left alive?"

"Obviously, they planned to kill and silence them after committing the crime, but they knew when I was about to arrive, so they were forced to evacuate."

"Let's be careful along the way."

However, as soon as Li Cunxiao finished speaking, many rustling sounds suddenly came from the surroundings!

"Boyo, be careful!"

Li Cunxiao thrust Bi Yan in his hand toward the sky.

Someone is always nearby!
