C978 The Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce

Because the Heavenly Faction did not think that these bandits could cause any danger to Lee Zhuohua, so they did not wake him up, and the bandits only thought that Lee Zhuohua had lost his team and fainted because there was no food supply outside. Just like that, Lee Zhuohua, who was in a state of cultivation, was brought back by the bandits.

"Move aside, move aside." The bald man and a bandit carried Lee Zhuohua to the top of an oxcart. On top of the oxcart was a wooden cage containing the survivors of the caravan that they had robbed.

When the men locked up in the cart saw that the bandits had brought another man with them, they all looked over in confusion. They realized that they did not know this man, and were surprised that he was not from the caravan.

Lee Zhuohua was thrown into the oxcart just like that. The people inside surrounded Lee Zhuohua and looked at him. One of the young men seemed to be one of the more important people in the caravan. He moved closer, wanting to see who Lee Zhuohua was, and the others in the oxcart gave up their seats for him.

"What a harvest, ha, ha! Not only did he rob the Zhu family's caravan, but he also met such a rich man on the road, and judging by how he was dressed, he must not be from any ordinary family. When he wakes up and finds out what his background is, he'll extort a large sum of money from him." After the man locked Lee Zhuohua in the oxcart, he left with his companions, talking and laughing.

This group of bandits were on their way back to their own stronghold.

The young man in the oxcart looked at Lee Zhuohua carefully and found that his face was very unfamiliar. He was not from their caravan, and he did not seem to be from the same place as them.

He shook Lee Zhuohua in an attempt to wake him up, but right now, Lee Zhuohua's perception of the outside world was zero. Therefore, under the shaking, he still did not wake up. Just by looking at his appearance, it was as if he had fallen asleep.

"Strange? It seems like he hasn't been injured. Why is he in such a coma?" The young man frowned, feeling that Lee Zhuohua's situation was a little strange.

The surrounding people did not say a word, but just watched silently from the side. Other than Lee Zhuohua, the people in the cow cart were all from the same merchant group. They were from the Zhu family's merchant group in the nearby city.

The young man was the young master of the Zhu family's caravan, and this time he had come in person to escort them because the goods were so precious, but he hadn't expected to run into bandits.

Right now, all the items of their caravan had been taken away by these bandits, including them. However, this young man didn't plan to leave it to fate. He wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

When they were locked up, he had discussed it with the other people in the caravan.

If they succeed, they will be able to escape, and at that time, they will be able to pay a great price to the practitioners to deal with these brigands; but if they fail, at most the result will be the same as it is now.

"Young master, what's wrong with him?" An old man at the side came up to the young man's side and asked.

The elder was the manager of the Zhu Family's Chamber of Commerce called Zhu Da. He had followed this youth for more than ten years and was his confidant.

"He seems to have passed out. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like one of us. I don't know which family he came from, but he got separated from his group and was captured by these bandits." The young man said with a frown.

The young man's name was Zhu Hwa, the young president of the Zhu Family's Chamber of Commerce.

After hearing Zhu Hwa's words, Zhu Da looked at the young man seriously. His eyes flashed with a trace of uncertainty, but he did not say anything in the end.

"By the looks of it, they'll take us back to their lair first, and then they'll interrogate us about the goods, and when that happens, we'll all be ready to rush out together when they open the cage." Zhu Hwa whispered to the people around him.

When they heard Zhu Hwa's words, they all nodded their heads, indicating that they had no objections.

Soon they were led back to the thieves' den, where they were locked up in the dungeons. It was a dark, damp place, and there was a foul smell everywhere, mixed with the smell of rotting bodies.

Zhu Hwa saw several people in ragged clothes in the dungeon. She did not know when they were imprisoned, but most of them seemed to have lost their hope, but some of them had fierce gazes, which shocked Zhu Hwa.

"Swish..."

In the corner of the prison, a prisoner tore off another prisoner's clothes and put them on himself. The prisoner who had his clothes ripped off seemed to have died a long time ago.

The atmosphere was filled with despair. It was the first time that Zhu Hwa and the other merchants had come to such a place, so they felt very uncomfortable.

Lee Zhuohua was directly thrown into a corner of the dungeon by Baldy and the others. When the prisoners saw that Zhu Hwa and the others were in the same group, their eyes were filled with vigilance and fear.

However, when they saw that Lee Zhuohua, who had been thrown in the corner, seemed to have nothing to do with them, some people slowly approached him. It seemed like they wanted to plunder something from Lee Zhuohua's body.

Zhu Hwa saw this scene. Although he and Lee Zhuohua did not know each other, they were caught by this group of bandits at the same time. Furthermore, looking at Lee Zhuohua's clothes, it was obvious that he was from a noble family. So when he saw the prisoners approaching Lee Zhuohua, Zhu Hwa frowned.

"'Get out.'" Zhu Hwa bellowed and blocked in front of Lee Zhuohua. When the people of the merchant group saw Zhu Hwa's actions, although they were a little confused, they still stood with him. When the prisoners saw that these new people were protecting Lee Zhuohua, they knew that there were a lot of people on the other side, so they sensibly retreated, not daring to have any more thoughts about Lee Zhuohua.

Seeing that these prisoners did not dare to make another mistake, Big Zhu turned his head around and looked at Lee Zhuohua. Seeing that the other party had yet to wake up, he sat down beside Lee Zhuohua.

The people of the merchant group also sat down around Boss Zhu when they saw this.

After about an hour, the bandits arrived at the dungeon.

"Go, bring that person out," the bald man pointed at Zhu Da and shouted.

The bandits who came with him opened the dungeon and rushed in to capture him.

When Zhu Hwa saw that the other party was about to take Eldest Zhu away, he immediately stood up and glared at the bandits, and the people from the merchant family also stood up.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Hwa immediately scolded.

The bald man saw that these people had already become prisoners, yet they still dared to speak like that. He immediately pulled out his knife and pointed it at them.

"Sit back down." The bald man said with an ominous glint in his eyes.

The bandits behind him also drew their swords and pointed them at them.

When Zhu Hwa and the others saw the bandits threaten them like this, their faces turned cold.

At this moment, Eldest Zhu, who was behind them, walked out.

"I'll go with you," he said to the bald man.
