In order to ensure that the goods are safe, the dart team generally does not let people who do not know the root of the dart team join the dart team on the road, in case it is a spy and leads to the loss of the dart.

However, Li Yue just killed the bandits with the dart team, and killed the bandit leader so that the dart team survived more people, and he was kind to the dart team, which cannot be equated.

"Yes. ”

Hu Xiangming agreed very simply.

"Thank you, old darthead. ”

Li Yue clenched his fists and arched his hands.

"Little Brother Li is kind to our dart team, so there is no need to be so polite

Hu Xiangming waved his hand and said with a smile.

During the fight, some bandits ran into the forest with their goods in their arms.

Later, the bandit leader was killed, and the bandits, who had just run to the forest with the goods, threw down the goods and ran away in panic.

Some large and small goods were scattered on the roads and in the forest.

After recovering the goods and loading them onto the dart truck, Hu Xiangming and Zhao Qiang began to count the losses.

It was just a rough estimate, and now it is a careful inventory to calculate how many silver taels to compensate the owner of the goods.

As the counts were counted, the two of them looked worse and worse.

Hu Xiangming's Fuyuan Dart Bureau where they are located is just a small dart bureau, and they can't receive any big business.

Among the escorted goods this time were tea, grain, cloth and porcelain.

A cart of porcelain, in the battle with the bandits, was knocked down and fell to pieces.

Some of the cloth, snatched and thrown down by the bandits, was also soiled.

It didn't go far before a small part of the escorted goods went wrong.

Zhao Qi frowned, his face ugly.

"How should I explain to the guests who hold the darts then?"

How to explain?

Naturally, there is only money to pay for compensation.

It would be a lot of money.

Money is secondary, and the most important thing is to have a bad reputation.

The most important thing in the dart game is the plaque!

Even if a person dies, the plaque can't be smashed, otherwise the dart game will not be opened.

Although this time it didn't get to the point of smashing the plaque, it was also a weak bodyguard, which was somewhat unfavorable to the next dart of Fuyuan's dart game.

"This gang of bandits hasn't been seen before.

There is no sign on the map, and there is no way to bump into it. ”

Hu Xiangming shook his head and sighed.

There is a map of the darts that indicate the location of known bandits.

Except for a few powerful dart games, you have to weigh and weigh, and you can not care about all others.

When encountering a big dart game, those bandits have to avoid it, so as not to be killed by suspicion.

And a small dart game like Fuyuan Dart Bureau can only obediently detour regardless of whether the bandits are big or small.

But the map isn't updated in real time.

There will always be new bandits and robbers who will pop up and stop in the road.

That's the risk that the game takes.

Hu Xiangming and Zhao Qiang took the account book and took stock of the losses.

A dart rider who was re-tying up his goods suddenly noticed a slender trail of water on the ground.

He looked down and saw the trail of water trailing from the side of the road to a dart cart in front of Yanchang.

On the dart cart, there was a large black wooden box, which should have been snatched by the bandits and moved back.

"Hu Darthead, Zhao Dartmaster, there seems to be something missing in this black wooden box!"

Hu Xiangming, Zhao Qiang and Li Yue, who were calculating the losses on the side, turned their heads when they heard the sound.

Li Yue, who had been standing beside the two of them and helping to calculate the losses, also turned his head and cast his eyes.

"Strange, I remember that there was no alcohol in the cargo escorted this time, what's going on with this box?"

Zhao Qiang looked at the water trails on the ground and stepped forward, patted the box, and looked puzzled.

"This is a dark dart entrusted to us by a guest. ”

Hu Xiangming looked through the account book, raised his head, and said.

Zhao Qiang withdrew his hand when he heard this, and suddenly extinguished the idea of opening the box to check the contents of the contents.

"Darts?"

Li Yue looked at the wooden box, his expression moved slightly.

The so-called dark dart means that the guest does not tell the dart board what it is.

On the way, the dart board is not allowed to open to see, once you see no matter what the contents are, they are also considered to be missing darts, and they have to pay heavy compensation.

The dart board only needs to escort the dark dart to the place designated by the guest.

Dark darts are generally not too big things, and they can be loaded with a dart cart, just like the big wooden box in front of you.

Hu Xiangming's gaze slowly moved with his fingers on the ledger, and finally stopped in one place.

"Found it, this dark dart is worth fifty taels. ”

"Fifty taels, which means that if this thing is lost, we will compensate about one hundred and fifty taels?"

If there is a problem with the escort of the dart, it is several times the amount of silver paid to compensate the guest when betting the dart, which is different from other darts.

It is precisely because of this that if a priceless thing wants to take a dark dart at a very low price, it will not work to take advantage of the dart game.

"Thankfully, it's not lost. ”

Zhao Qiang was a little lucky.

Although I don't know what is missing from this box, it seems that something is wrong.

According to ordinary darts, this will definitely have to be compensated.

But the dart is different, as long as the thing is delivered to the designated place in its entirety, and the thing has not been opened during the period.

As for the problems with the contents during transportation, it was because the guests did not take precautions in advance, and it had nothing to do with the dart game.

"I'm really curious about what's in there. ”

Zhao Qiang squatted down, rubbed the water on the box with his fingers, put it to his nose and sniffed, and said with some doubts.

"It's colorless and tasteless, it seems to be water. ”

"Fifty taels to carry water?

Are you still walking a dark dart?"

When Li Yue heard this, he suddenly became a little curious.

Dark darts are generally things that can't see the light.

What is there about water that does not see the light?

Or is there more than just water in it?

Hu Xiangming and Zhao Qi were also puzzled and curious.

However, even then, the box cannot be opened.

As soon as the box was opened, even if the dart was missed, they had to pay more than 150 taels in compensation.

The bandits that suddenly appeared this time have already made them lose enough!

Packing up the goods and taking care of everything, the dart team continued on their way.

Li Yue rode a horse and walked in the dart team, walking with Hu Xiangming and them.

This is what he had in mind before.

Although he is not a rich boy who does not know the cruelty of the rivers and lakes and suddenly runs out of his home.

But when Li Yue saw the confrontational dart team and bandits on the mountain road, he had to admit that he had indeed neglected one thing.

It's just that this road is high and far away, I don't know how many bandits and robbers he will encounter, and how he will pass alone.

After all, this is not a previous life, a person "one horse" can swim the world at will, without worrying about any danger, just worrying about whether the money is enough.

With Li Yue's current strength, he can deal with at most six or seven bandits and robbers with knives, and his life is in danger if there are too many people.

He had to use the strength of the dart team to get out of Qingzhou and go somewhere else.

So when he saw the dart team and the bandits fighting, he immediately drew his sword and stepped forward to help the dart team, hoping to help the dart team and win the gratitude of the dart team, so that he could walk with the dart team.

Now his purpose has been achieved.

"Hopefully this journey will go smoothly in the future. ”

Li Yue rode on his horse and whispered silently.

It's just that for some reason, when he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that strange dark dart, and his heart was restless.
