In the dark alleys, Li Luowu and Li Ying followed the slender old man walking, and in the process of their passage through the streets and alleys, Li Luowu and Li Luowu kept a distance of several meters from the old man, and always paid attention to the surrounding situation.

It may seem ironic to others that a strong young man should be so wary of an old man. But in Li Luowu's opinion, in this strange place, even an old man can't relax his guard, who knows if this old man has anything on him that can pose a huge threat to the two of them?

The old man naturally sensed Li Liuwu's vigilance, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and just led the way on his own.

As the minutes ticked by, the distant sun drew closer to the mountains. And on the streets where Li wandered without them, there was also a group of men in uniform uniforms. The men kept walking through every street, asking the inhabitants of the streets, and there were three waves of them just that Li Luo had personally encountered.

Every time he met them, Li Luowu could hear what they were saying, and the content was the same every time, that is, he was looking for a black-robed boy and a girl in a white dress.

"Brother Wandering Wu, they seem to be looking for us..."Li Ying also heard the content of what the group of men said several times, and she also knew what was going on in her heart, and there was a trace of sorrow in her eyes when she looked at Li Wandering.

Li Luowu frowned and was silent, he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and the suspicion of the old man in his heart suddenly became a little less, maybe it was a psychological change, and the distance between Li Luowu and the old man was also much closer.

"Now, I can only trust this old man for the time being. Li Luo said secretly in his heart.

And the old man did not live up to his hopelessness, and several times he shuttled through the streets, easily bypassing those searchers.

In the end, after about two hours of going around the alleys in the town, Li Luowu and the three of them came to the exit of an alley.

Li Luowu walked first towards the exit, and he poked his head out to observe, and found that beyond the exit was the entrance where they came. The dim red sunset shone on the empty grass, and there was not a trace of people on the surrounding stone walls and alleys, and Li Luowu's hanging heart finally let go.

"Thank you, old man!" Li Luo didn't turn around and bowed to the old man, his words were full of gratitude, he had just carefully investigated, and there was indeed no ambush here, nor any guards, indicating that this old man was indeed sincere in helping them.

"Please leave the old gentleman's honorific name, and the boy will definitely repay him in the future. ”

"Hehe, little brother is polite. The old man smiled and said:

"The name is not necessary, the old man is a businessman, so the little brother will call me the green shopkeeper. ”

Li Luo didn't hear anything, but also smiled, and bowed down again and said:

"Thank you, shopkeeper. ”

"Hehehe. The green shopkeeper also smiled, and then, he smiled slightly, and said:

"As for what the little brother said about repaying the kindness, the old man has something he wants to discuss with the little brother. ”

"Sir, please. Although Li Luowu had some doubts in his heart, he still said respectfully.

"Huh. The green shopkeeper stroked his beard, and then said slowly:

"Actually, the old man has his own purpose in helping you. As soon as you leave the auction house, the old man will always follow you. ”

"Oh?" Li Luowu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his face gradually converged.

"Then why is this the green shopkeeper?"

Seeing the changes on Li Luowu's face, the green shopkeeper laughed lightly:

"Little brother, don't worry about it, the old man just wants to talk to you about a business. ”

"Business?

"Hehehe. The green shopkeeper stroked his beard again and said:

"Please take a step to speak. ”

With that, he walked in a direction away from the two of them.

Li Luowu hesitated for a moment, and then instructed Li Ying not to run around

"The old man wants to hire you, little brother, as the guard of our caravan. ”

The green shopkeeper said suddenly.

"Actually, the old man originally planned to find that Zhang Qian as a guard this time, but he is one of the best people in this Tianmeng Town. What the old man said just now has been following you, in fact, it's just because that Zhang Qi has followed you, and what I have been following is actually Zhang Qi and a few people. ”

Shopkeeper Qing smiled and continued:

"But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Qian was so vulnerable in your hands. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, little brother, you just used a magic palm, right?"

"Little brother, you..." The green shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly:

"A junior fighter?"

"No, it's not. Li Luo didn't answer, "I'm just about to be promoted to a junior fighter." That's why you can use some magic. ”

Li Luowu deliberately concealed his situation, although the old man in front of him helped them get out of the predicament, it did not mean that Li Luowu did not have the heart to guard against him.

After all, it was clear that he came with a purpose.

And the green shopkeeper listened to Li Luowu's answer, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw him sigh a few words one after another, and said with burning eyes:

"This time, the escort of the caravan is lacking a good hand like you, little brother, you might as well think about it. ”

Li Luowu frowned slightly, a little uninterested in his heart, but he was embarrassed to refuse directly, so he said:

"Let's introduce the content of the introduction first. ”

"Okay!" the green shopkeeper came to his senses, only to see him straighten his waist, and said fluently:

"The job of this hire is to send the caravan to Diqiu Town, one of the seven towns, safely, and it will take about a whole day. ”

"At present, the caravan is in the inn not far from Tianmeng Town, and there are mostly flat roads between the inn and Nadi Qiu Town, which can be passed safely, but there is only one danger!"

The eyes of the green shopkeeper were slightly heavy, and he said:

"That's the Red Sai Mountain in the middle of the road. ”

"Red Saishan?"

"That's right, Red Saishan. Shopkeeper Qing nodded and continued:

"This mountain is a corner of the mountain range that stretches from the border to here, and the demon beast disasters in the seven towns of this Jingtian are basically caused by the demon beasts of this border mountain range. This mountain directly separates the road between some of the seven towns, this mountain is densely wooded, the road is difficult and dangerous, although after several years of road repair, the road is a lot better, but it is still dangerous. ”

"Why?" asked Li Luowu.

"Because of the monster!"

"Demon beasts?"

"Yes, since this mountain is a corner of the border mountain range, it is easy for demon beasts to enter Hongsai Mountain directly from the border, and the dense woods are conducive to the demon beasts to fight guerrillas, so they will set up camp and live in it. ”

"The location of this mountain is extremely important, so Jue Tiancheng has sent troops to encircle and suppress, of course, the effect is also good, in the past few years, although this mountain is infested with demon beasts, but there are only a few occasional ones, as long as a small number of guards are hired to accompany them, they can pass unharmed. ”

"But it's different now.," the green shopkeeper sighed.

"I don't know why, since more than a year ago, the number of demon beasts on this border has increased, including this Red Saishan, and the demon beasts have also appeared in piles and piles. It is said that someone even encountered a fifteenth-level faint beast in the mountains!"

"Faint Beast!?" Li Luowu was also surprised, as far as he knew, the Faint Beast was the title of the Demon Beast when it reached the fifteenth level, similar to the junior warrior of the human race, and the Demon Beast that reached the twentieth level was called the Great Faint Beast.

"Although this is just a rumor, the truth is not optimistic. The green shopkeeper sighed again, his face full of sadness.

"Nowadays, hiring ordinary guards is no longer effective, you have to hire people who are level 10 or above, and you can't just recruit one or two to barely make it safe. ”

"Of course, it is safer to have junior fighters, but the price of junior fighters is too high, it is not cost-effective, and there are very few people who are willing to serve as guards. ”

Speaking of this, the green shopkeeper looked at Li Luowu's eyes and was full of burning heat again.

"So, it's really the old man's luck to meet the little brother today, for the sake of the old man helping the little brother, can you agree to serve as the guard of our caravan?"

"Please rest assured, everyone else is 30,000 gold coins, but the little brother is different, I will give the little brother a reward of 50,000 gold coins! This is already the highest price under the junior fighters on the market!"

"Please also ask the little brother to seriously consider it!"

Hearing this, Li Luowu's eyes moved down slightly, and he fell into thought. About three or four minutes later, under the burning gaze of the green shopkeeper, Li Luowu took a deep breath and gave his answer:

"I'm sorry. ”

Li Luowu's incomparably simple words made the shopkeeper Qing look like a deflated ball, full of disappointment. But then he still asked a little unwillingly:

"Why? Is it because I'm not satisfied with the price? What if I add more?"

"Uh..." Li Luowu was a little helpless for a moment, and said:

"It's not about money. ”

"After this auction, I have other things to do, especially the breakthrough in a few days, so I have to go back and prepare for the promotion. ”

"Of course, I will not forget the kindness of the green shopkeeper, and after I go back, I will also find a suitable candidate for the green shopkeeper to ensure that your caravan will pass through this red race mountain safely!"

With that, Li Luowu turned around and walked in the direction of Li Ying.

And the shopkeeper of Naqing saw Li Luowu acting like this, and his heart was also anxious, he had long known that Li Luowu was not a junior fighter, but this Li Wander could not defeat that Zhang Qian with one palm, and his strength must have basically reached the level of a junior fighter, and he exchanged the price of an ordinary awakened person for a junior fighter-level guard, and he played such a wishful thinking. And this duck was in front of him at this moment, how could he let it fly away again?

Thinking like this, the brain of the green shopkeeper began to spin rapidly. Suddenly, his head flashed and he stopped Li Luowu:

"Little brother, please stay!"

"Is there anything else?" Li Luowu turned his head and said, his tone was impatient, he was really not interested in this kind of work.

"Little brother, do you remember the golden toad silk clothes at the auction?"

"Is that the junior warrior's invulnerable and extremely light armor?"

"What's wrong with it?"
