C145 Red Sand Bandits

old servant slowly stopped when he saw Puyang Yu.

Xiao Chen looked at Puyang Yu. "This fish is for me to eat. I gave it to you. What should I eat?" Xiao Chen asked Puyang Yu slowly.

Puyang Yu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Brother, if you don't mind, you can come to my Puyang family's camp. When I went out, I brought some food with me. Although it's not as good as this Golden Dragon-fish, it's still in my mouth."

Puyang Yu was gentle and gentle. His words and actions didn't have the slightest bit of irritation or rudeness. Every word he said made people feel very comfortable.

"Of course, we will give you a reasonable price. How about it?"

"Then how much is it?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Golden Dragon-fishs are priceless. Whether it's in Nine Prefecture Land or other places, a Golden Dragon-fish is worth at least one million Spirit Stones. Thirty million gold taels. I can pay you five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. How about twenty million gold taels?"

After Puyang Yu finished speaking, Xiao Chen slowly nodded his head. What Puyang Yu said wasn't wrong, but one medicinal Golden Dragon-fish was worth at least this price.

"Since you have said that you will sell at least a million Spirit Stones and 30 million gold taels, do you think I will sell it to you at a low price?"

"It is your business whether you want to buy it or not. Father has taught me that although I am a profit-oriented businessman, I must take it. The price I have given you is very reasonable in Golden Desert."

Puyang Yu said seriously.

Although Puyang family was a businessman, a gentleman loved to take money.

"It's not easy for the Puyang family to have you!" Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Go, I won't buy this fish!"

"Then I'll take my leave."

Puyang Yu did not continue to pester him. He turned around and left after saying that. Buying and selling were both your wishes. The other party did not feel at ease when forced to do business. They felt that the other party would lose money if he made profits.

Everything had to be done with a clear conscience.

When old servant saw Puyang Yu leave, he immediately started to clean up the Golden Dragon-fish. This scene made the people of Puyang family's heart bleed.

That was a priceless Golden Dragon-fish. Wouldn't they feel guilty if they ate it just like that?

"It's really a waste. It's too wasteful!"

"That's right. Take it out and sell it. What mountain ginseng and sea food can't be eaten!"

Many people thought Xiao Chen was being short-sighted. They just wanted to eat their fill in front of their eyes and not think about the future. After old servant finished cleaning the Golden Dragon-fish, Lo Hongqing also placed a pot on top of it.

She took out the lake water, put in the seasoning, and then put the Golden Dragon-fish in.

Not long after, the thick fragrance of the fish drifted out. It was very thick and fragrant, making people feel hungry just by smelling it. Everyone smelled the fragrance. Everyone smacked their lips and swallowed their saliva.

Xiao Chen was lying leisurely beside the fire. Lo Hongqing was very serious in brewing the fish soup.

"Young Master is ready!"

Lo Hongqing lifted the lid of the pot and a cloud of white mist rose into the air. The fish fragrance became even stronger. The heaven and earth were filled with the strong smell of fish soup.

Lo Hongqing took out the best part of the Golden Dragon-fish meat for Xiao Chen and carefully selected the fish bones from the fish meat.

Finally, Lo Hongqing handed the fish meat to Xiao Chen.

"This treatment is too good!"

The people of Puyang family looked at Xiao Chen with envy. Eating medicinal Golden Dragon-fishs and having such a beautiful woman serve by the side. This was the pinnacle of life.

Xiao Chen took the bowl.

"You guys eat too!"

Just like that, under the envious gazes of the crowd, the three of them ate a Golden Dragon-fish cleanly. They didn't even leave any fish soup behind.

The most detestable thing was that Ma Chao actually drank the fish soup as well. What kind of logic was this?

Xiao Chen rubbed his stomach and revealed a very satisfied smile.

The night passed just like that. The next day, Xiao Chen set off. Similarly, the Puyang family would leave. They were merchants who were racing against time. If they did not encounter an oasis, they would not even stop for a night.

"Let's go together. How about Young Master come with us?" Puyang Yu came to Xiao Chen and the other two and said. He didn't seem to be angry that Xiao Chen didn't buy the Golden Dragon-fish last night.

"The Golden Desert is a remote place. The Puyang family has been traveling with us for generations. It will be less dangerous to follow us." Puyang Yu saw the hesitation in Xiao Chen's eyes and continued.

Puyang Yu was right. It was easy to lose your way in the desert. If you lost your way here, you could only wait for death even if you were a powerful cultivator.

There were also bandits. Xiao Chen and the other two men, an old man, a woman, and a young man. In the eyes of bandits, these three men were nothing but fat meat.

"If that's the case, then I won't refuse!"

Xiao Chen nodded his head and agreed to Puyang Yu's request.

"Then I will go back and prepare. We will go together." Puyang Yu said goodbye to Xiao Chen and returned to his own caravan. Many people in the caravan didn't understand. Last night, they did not sell the Golden Dragon-fish to you. Why did they have to be so kind this morning?

"Young Master doesn't need to bring them along?"

A servant said unhappily.

"It's not easy for anyone to go out. The rule of the Puyang family is to have one more friend outside and one more path. No matter who the other party is, they will need help."

Puyang Yu looked at Xiao Chen and the other two and said.

"This kid has a good temperament!"

old servant said with a smile.

"It seems he is good to be in your eyes." Xiao Chen nodded and said. old servant had a very high opinion of Puyang Yu. The fact that Puyang Yu was chosen by old servant proved that Puyang Yu was a good person.

The caravan set off. Xiao Chen and the other two's carriages followed at the back. Puyang Yu even arranged six people to protect the carriage, which was a form of protection.

There were about a hundred people, but the caravan stretched for about five hundred meters.

One by one, the caravan stretched for about five hundred meters. There were all kinds of things on the carriages: weapons, pills, herbs, porcelain and all kinds of things. The ones pulling the carriages were not horses, but demon beasts unique to the desert.

Lizards were similar in size to horses. They were extremely strong, and were most suitable to survive in the desert.

Every carriage was decorated with the flags of the Puyang family.

The lizard dragon roared as it walked on the sand, and the caravan proceeded forward.

"I really don't know what Young Master Pu Yang is thinking. He wants us to protect them!" One of the six said impatiently. They were cultivators recruited by the Puyang family, and they had never thought that they would come to protect someone they didn't know.

"Stop talking. Since you've taken the money, you can say whatever you want." One of them looked at the person who was complaining.

"The caravan has stopped!"

The caravan suddenly stopped in the middle of their conversation.

"What's going on?"

"Something seems to have happened up ahead!"

Someone stood on the roof of the car and looked up. There was an accident in the desert, most likely bandits or quicksand. Everyone waited for a long time, but they did not see the caravan continue to move forward.

"The one in front, what exactly happened in front?"

"We met a group of cultivators who were killed. They seem to be the last group of people from the Puyang family." Soon, the news came. The last group of people? The people who heard it all frowned.

Puyang Yu arrived at a high ground. In front of him were the corpses of the cultivators, the broken carriage, and the corpse of the lizard dragon.

"It seems like they encountered bandits here!" Looking at the scene in front of him, no one survived.

"And it seems like they are Dao Sovereign warriors." Puyang Yu looked at the wounds on their bodies and said. All of them died with a single slash, without any signs of struggle.

"Record all these people. When we go back, we will give their families a pension. Tell everyone to be on guard. There might be an ambush ahead."

Puyang Yu looked around. He did not know what would happen in the vast desert.

"Young master!"

old servant said slowly.

Xiao Chen pushed open the curtain and followed old servant's gaze. There was a black dot in the sky. No one noticed it, but old servant was different.

"So there is still a rat that refuses to give up."

It was a flying demon beast. There was a man standing on top of it. That man was looking down at the Puyang family's caravan from ten thousand feet high. It was very difficult for ordinary people to notice it from ten thousand feet high.

"I'm very sorry, but it might be a little dangerous if we keep moving forward. I might not be able to take care of you if we fight." Puyang Yu came over to tell them.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Chen smiled. "Since you are so sincere, I will give you a present. Xiao Chen pointed at the sky."

Puyang Yu looked in the direction Xiao Chen was pointing at and his expression turned serious.

A telescope appeared in Puyang Yu's hand. He held the telescope and saw the true appearance of the black dot. It was monitoring them.

"Crossbow, shoot down the person on top!"

Puyang Yu ordered. A huge crossbow was placed on the carriage in the middle of the caravan. The ten men pulled the bowstring and loaded the crossbow.

The crossbow was pitch black and the tip of the arrow shone with a cold light.

"Release!"

With Puyang Yu's order, the arrow flew out. In an instant, the man's chest was pierced by the arrow, and he fell down from the sky.

"Go and find the bodies for me!"

"Understood!"

The two of them left the caravan and headed to the place where they had fallen. The caravan continued to move forward. Puyang Yu looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Thank you for your help. Puyang family will never forget such a great favor."

"It was a piece of cake."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing.

Soon, the body was brought over. The arrow went right through his chest.2

"I didn't expect the Puyang family to have such a treasure." old servant said with a smile. This crossbow looked very old, but it was a genuine tier 8 Holy Treasure. As long as one was locked by the crossbow, one would not be able to escape unless one had a powerful strength to break the crossbow with a backhand.

"The treasure is no longer worn out. It's good as long as it's useful."

Xiao Chen said.

"It belongs to Hong Sha." The man had a red bracelet on his wrist. Hong Sha was the strongest group of bandits in Golden Desert, and also the biggest enemy of Puyang family. Over the years, many bandits had been scared by Puyang family, but Hong Sha was still entangled with them.

"If it's Hong Sha's men, we have to be more careful."

Puyang Yu said seriously.

"Since they are watching us, they must be interested in us. This time, a tough battle has begun." A cultivator said.

"Yes. Keep your guard up and shorten the distance between the caravans. From one column to three columns, we will move forward in order to avoid trouble!" Puyang Yu said. The Puyang family had traveled in the desert for generations, so they had their own unique move in the desert.

Soon, the caravan had become three rows, and the distance between them had become much shorter.

In this way, they would be able to provide support at the first possible moment if anything went wrong.

"Prepare to activate the array formation on the carriage at any time!"

"Understood!"

They were all ready for battle. They had walked for a month but did not meet any Hong Sha's men. Gradually, they felt that they were making a big fuss out of it.

"Are there no bandits?" Lo Hongqing asked. There had been such a thing a month ago. Why was the journey so peaceful?

"Both sides are in a stalemate. It will depend on who can't hold their anger." Xiao Chen said. Now that the Puyang family was on full alert, Hong Sha was undoubtedly walking right into their trap. Therefore, Hong Sha was waiting for the Puyang family to relax. When the time came, he would catch them off guard.

The Puyang family knew that Hong Sha wouldn't let this matter rest, so they had been on high alert all this time. They didn't give the enemy any opportunities to take advantage of. This was a long battle, and it would depend on who would compromise first during this boring process.
