Chapter 177: 这年头山贼不好当啊

[It’s not easy to be a mountain bandit these days ah]

“Boss, you’re also too good, you even got a mistress of the fort (a sobriquet for the wife of a brigand chief) back!”

“Wow, this is a superb beauty ah!”

One of the juniors had already started rubbing his hands together and staring at Lu Yunluo with glowing eyes.

That mountain bandit leader was hastily shivering in fear.

He hurriedly kicked that little brother (subordinate) away.

These ungrateful things, is this auntie easy to be messed with?

Can’t you see that he still has silver needles sticking out of his head?

There are still a bunch of brothers at the foot of the mountain waiting for the antidote from this aunt.

Now waiting for this aunt to look at their Qing Long Village, to exchange the antidote in her hands.

“Each and every one of you listen to me well, mind your eyes and claws, which one of you is ungrateful enough to mess with her. Don’t blame me for not remembering old times. Act according to the rules of the fortress.”

After all, the mountain bandits leader has been the head for so many years, how to say, that also has a certain prestige and momentum.

With these words, the juniors who were previously staring at Lu Yunluo with impunity immediately restrain himself.

The fact that even the boss was so scared meant that this little beauty was not simple ah.

The gazes of a group of little juniors or subordinates couldn’t help but fall onto the head of the mountain bandits leader. That head full of silver needles, could it be the handiwork of this little beauty?

Lu Yunluo, on the other hand, took it upon herself to turn around in the Azure Dragon Village. 

After a circle down, she found that this Qing Long Village is really poor.

Even if she lifted the thatched roof, not to mention five thousand taels, I’m afraid she wouldn’t even be able to find a single copper plate.

The most valuable thing in the entire fortress was the inscribed board (fixed to a wall or the lintel of a door) at the main entrance with the words “Green Dragon Fortress” written on it.

Lu Yunluo glanced at the head bandit with a black line on her face, “Didn’t you say that your Green Dragon Village is the richest fortified village within a few hundred miles?”

This broken fortified mountain village could turn over into a single copper plate then counted as if she lost!?

“Because we’re the only stockaded village within a few hundred miles.” The head of the mountain bandits said with a heartfelt expression.

He had just said that to bluff her up as well.

“How long have you guys been in this business?”

“Our Qing Long City has been established for five years.” Speaking of this, the head of the mountain bandits had a proud face.

To be able to occupy a mountain outside the capital city and be the bandit leaders for five years.

That was something that took a certain amount of skill.

There was originally more than one of them outside the capital city, but those few were all besieged by the government not long after.

Only their Green Dragon Village is left standing until now.

Speaking of which, it was not that the Government court was afraid of the strength of their Azure Dragon Village.

 “Five years? Your Green Dragon Village hasn’t even saved a single copper plate in five years?” Lu Yunluo looked scornful.

This business ability wasn’t generally poor.

“We used to live quite well. This is not the new emperor ascending to the throne, the checkpoints to the capital are patrolled by imperial guards, right? We have so many brothers in the Green Dragon Village who want to eat and drink, naturally slowly finish all the family money.” The mountain bandits leader is also very helpless, but this is the reality.

These days, it’s not easy to be a mountain bandit ah. 

“What’s the standard for living quite well in the past?” Lu Yunluo asked as she looked at the rows of ragged thatched huts.

“That’s naturally being able to eat three meals a day, not having to go hungry, and occasionally being able to go to the capital to buy a few bottles of wine and come back.” The mountain bandit leader said while nostalgically remembering the old days.

He remembered that there was a wine shop in the capital where their home brewed wine ah. That flavor, it was truly exceptional.

Fine ba. 

It was true that everyone had different standards for the good old days.

Lu Yunluo also finally understood why this Azure Dragon Village was able to exist for so long in a place so close to the capital.

It was entirely because these mountain bandits were too useless.
