Chapter #12. Polite Robber

Chapter #12. Polite Robber

"Where am I" He said in a monologue.

He was a little confused, because he thought he would come out of the place where he had fallen. Not wanting to worry, he followed where his footsteps took him. Zhao Yun followed the path in front of him.

As he walked leisurely, his sharp and sensitive hearing picked up something unusual. He heard the sound of swords clinking and horses neighing.

“There seems to be something up ahead!”

He immediately shot towards the direction the sound came from, he deftly jumped over every existing tree branch, so that he quickly arrived at the place where the sound came from. In just a few breaths, he arrived at one of the branches of a tree, from a distance of twenty mi he saw two groups involved in an argument.

From a distance he could confirm that the debate in front of him was a robbery. Zhao Yun approached slowly to confirm first. The news from the ancestor regarding the chaos that was happening everywhere made him have to act carefully.

Because not all crimes occur due to desire and lust, but the matter of survival is also a need that can drive someone to madness to commit a crime. Up close, he could see that the robbery was not an ordinary robbery, the carriage that was blocked by a group of people was a carriage carrying medicine.

"Give us twenty percent of the medicinal ingredients in the carriage, I promise, I won't hurt you and will get out of this black forest safely," said the man with a cloth covering his nose and mouth bluntly.

"Please be generous sir, these items belong to the people's clinic! Honestly, sir, I cannot hand this over to you because the people's clinic in Rose city is in great need of these medicines right now. Rose city is currently experiencing a pandemic and famine, and the medicines and rice in this carriage are all for the children suffering from hunger there, please, sir, show some compassion!" said the old man sitting on the carriage.

"Brother, how is this?? I know that old man, he is indeed a healer from the medical center. He's an honest person, I can guarantee that! " Said one of the pirates who was standing next to the leader of the robbers.

The leader of the robbers also looked confused, because on the other hand he needed the medicine to cure children in a village in the black forest, but on the other hand the medicine was for children in the city's people's medical center.

Zhao Yun who saw this just smiled a little, because the robbery in front of him was really very unusual.

"It turns out there are still people like them..." He muttered to himself.

Immediately Zhao Yun jumped from the branch and landed on the ground, Zhao Yun's unexpected appearance of course made all eyes immediately look at him, the group of men in black with face masks were immediately alert, he and his seven men immediately took out swords from their respective scabbards.

Zhao Yun was indifferent to what they were doing, but his eyes narrowed at the swords that the polite robbers were using. He casually walked towards the healer who was on a horse-drawn carriage with several of his assistants

"Greetings, healer," Zhao Yun said politely while cupping his hands.

"Greetings, young master," said the healer awkwardly.

"Master Healer, Master Robber, I've been listening to what you were arguing about! What if I provide a little solution, if the two of you don't mind?" Zhao Yun said casually but with emphasis, he deliberately released a little of his realm to suppress everyone for a moment.

By releasing his realm, of course, the silver realm robbers immediately fell silent and didn't move.

"Damn... what should i do??" Muttered the group leader in confusion.

"Master healer, what if I buy the medicine they ask for at double the price?" Zhao Yun said without much ado.

"I'm sorry young master, I truly cannot hand over these items, they are very important to me, due to the limited availability of medicine everywhere, even though there is medicine in the medicine pavilion, the price is really unusual!" Said the healer again

Too lazy to argue, Zhao Yun then took out a thousand gold coins and handed them to the healer.

"Is this enough to buy all the medicine on the train?"

"T... that's enough young master, even with that money you can buy three times the amount in this horse-drawn carriage if you buy it from the medicine pavilion," he said honestly.

“Oh….Robber master, is half of this medicine enough for your needs??" Zhao Yun asked politely.

“M.. more than enough young master! " Said the leader of the group of robbers awkwardly.

“Then take half and take this??" Zhao Yun said casually as he threw four money bags containing thousands of gold coins.

"Stop robbing! Especially with your status as nobles! Use the money well," Zhao Yun said calmly, but he really surprised the robbers.

"How do you know?" Said one of the robbers who looked stiff.

"By you answering, it already justifies what I suspected!" Zhao Yun said, immediately leaving the robber at a loss, caught in Zhao Yun's mind trick.

"Healer, please help, quickly bring down the medication! And leave here immediately, because danger will come very soon. The same goes for you all!" Zhao Yun said seriously while looking towards one direction of the road.

Realizing that Zhao Yun's face had turned serious, they hurried to obey his orders. The robbers and the healer assistants helped each other unload the medicines that had been promised previously.

" It's finished? If so, get out of here immediately!" Zhao Yun said quickly avoiding further pleasantries.

They all nodded in understanding, and immediately left according to Zhao Yun's orders, because they also had eyes and ears, they could hear the neighing of horses and smoke billowing from a distance, indicating that another group was approaching.

"Brother, thank you!" The leader of the robbers said from his horse, and they immediately left the place. Only the healer and his entourage did not leave because the healer was worried about Zhao Yun's situation.

"Master healer, why don't you get out of here immediately?"

“Young master, let's go together. Those who came are the Rose city troops, there will be no problem with their arrival for us," said the healer

“Is that so? "Okay then," Zhao Yun replied casually.

And sure enough, what came towards them turned out to be troops from the city of Rose.

"It turned out to be Healer Qin and his entourage!!, was there a problem on your journey that caused you all to be stuck here?" The squad captain said while looking at Zhao Yun with a probing gaze.

"Captain Feng, long time no see!! There's no problem, Captain, it's a coincidence that this old man found an old friend on this trip," Healer Qin said casually.

"Is that so? That's good then. By coincidence, we are just about to return to the city of Rose, let me accompany all of you just in case," he said again.

“Then thank you! I'm sorry if this old man troubled captain Feng and the city troops.”

They finally left and headed for the city of Rose together.
