These questions were completely out of the question for Zixi, and she easily pointed out Lin Fan's mistakes. It dawned on him.

Just when the two of them were full of interest and ready to continue talking, a **** voice came from outside the door: "Report to the ancestor, the reception banquet has been prepared in the most luxurious private room of the Wusu Restaurant, the patriarchs of the two major immortal cultivation families in Wunan City, and the presidents of the three major chambers of commerce have already arrived, I don't know when the ancestor and the Jiang brothers can go to the banquet?" ”

Originally, they didn't plan to invite Lin Fan at all, but now that they knew that Lin Fan and Tianyou Ancestor had such a deep friendship, wouldn't they just take the opportunity to pull the relationship and invite him together.

After Zixi heard this, she had no choice but to get up and sigh: "Lord Song, I'll come out immediately, and then go together!" ”

After that, she looked at Lin Fan with a pair of pretty eyes, intending to ask for his opinion and see if he wanted to go to the banquet together.

Lin Fan was about to speak, but he suddenly reached forward and grabbed it, only to see a spark appear in his hand.

Zheng Yiran said that he had already connected him with a reliable caravan and was about to set off, so that he could go to the central square of the city immediately, while the little girl could stay in the rudder and be taken care of by a deputy captain of the guard surnamed Zhan.

Lin Fan sighed, secretly thinking that if it weren't for the fact that this caravan was about to leave, time couldn't wait, and it wouldn't hurt to meet the patriarchs and leaders of this group.

So, he had no choice but to say apologetically: "Senior Sister Zi, maybe I can't go, Senior Sister Zheng has already contacted a caravan for me, and I have to leave immediately......"

"Oh? In such a hurry? After Zixi heard this, she was slightly surprised, but she didn't persuade again, after all, she still knew which of the two things was more important.

So, the three of them walked out of the courtyard together. Lin Fan apologized to **** and Liang Xing again, saying that he was in a hurry, and he could only apologize for going to the banquet.

The two persuaded each other, and seeing that Jiang Chen had made up his mind, they had no choice but to give up and watch Lin Fan leave.

At noon, in the square in the center of Unan City, there were many captains of caravans recruiting people, and shouts came and went.

"Our Fang family's caravan is going to the capital of the Song Kingdom to recruit guards! As long as you have a mid-stage or above cultivation and sign a contract, you can get three hundred spirit stones, and after you arrive at the destination, you will receive the remaining seven hundred spirit stones, and at the same time collect passengers, but you will need fifteen hundred spirit stones! A lean man waved a small green flag and shouted loudly.

Next to him stood an old man in a gray robe, also holding a wooden sign, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Our Shui family caravan is going to Xiangyang Mansion, with many guards and strong strength. The passengers need to pay a guard fee of 1,000 spirit stones! ”

"Uncle En, don't run out of places! I said yes, I must leave a vacant seat and bring my friend to Xiangyang Mansion! A beautiful woman dressed in red and black and Heavenly Demon Sect clothes stood beside the old man and reminded.

"Zheng Daoyou, don't worry! I'll keep your friend's spot! The old man named Uncle En hurriedly agreed.

After a few shouts, he saw a young monk dressed in black, looking at him.

The old man was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted: "This little brother, are you coming to Xiangyang Mansion with our Shui family caravan?" The trip is up to one month. ”

However, as soon as his voice fell, the beautiful woman was overjoyed when she saw the comer: "Uncle En, this is what I said about my friend......

Then, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you are finally here!" ”

"It's the same, I've kept you waiting!" The young man was Lin Fan, and when he saw Zheng Yi, he said with an apologetic face.

Then. Zheng Yiran bowed his head slightly, then turned his head to the old man and said, "Uncle En, this is my friend Jiang Chen who I told you!" You must bring him to Xiangyang Mansion intact! ”

The old man nodded, then looked at Jiang Chen and said, "People still look decent, but their cultivation is a little low." In the middle of Qi refining, you have to cross the Great Desert to Xiangyang City, which is indeed dangerous! Therefore, it is safer to go with our Shui family caravan...... However, you also have to sign a boarding agreement! ”

He only had the early stage of condensation cultivation, so naturally he couldn't see through Lin Fan's breathing technique. Before Lin Fan came to the square, he had already lowered his cultivation to the middle stage of qi refining, and informed Zheng Yiran with a transmission note. Don't tell others that you are a potential disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, just say that you are a casual cultivator, so as not to attract attention. After all, in this Unan City, the condensation stage monks are already considered to be relatively high in cultivation.

"Boarding agreement? What is the meaning? After Lin Fan heard this, he was slightly stunned.

"Oh! Brother Jiang, it seems that I have to explain it to you. I forgot that it was the first time you left the Han Kingdom, and you didn't know the rules of these caravans. Zheng Yiran pursed his lips and smiled, and began to tell Lin Fan.

It turned out that these cross-border caravans came to the square to recruit two kinds of personnel, one was the passengers, and this kind of people needed to pay spirit stones to the caravan, and they had to sign a contract with the caravan captain. declared that he did not carry the kind of items that were very valuable and attracted the prying eyes of others, and there were no enemies to chase and kill. After all, the caravan didn't want to get into trouble for itself.

The other kind of personnel is a temporary guard. This is mostly because the caravan lost manpower in the previous trip, and it feels that its current escort force is a little weak, and it is difficult to successfully resist the destination. That's why I came to this square to recruit guards.

And the guards recruited by the caravan are, of course, paid by the caravan as a reward for spirit stones. Most of the caravans have certain requirements for their cultivation and magical powers. For such personnel, it is also required to sign a contract to guarantee that in case of monsters or robbers. It will not run away in battle, or even act as a mole. Of course, the general contract still stipulates that if the caravan leader dies in battle or escapes first, the contract is void.

After all, this kind of thing happens. Most of the time it was due to the fact that the enemy was too strong. At this time, it would be a death for the guards to stay and fight, and if they run away, they may be able to bring back the enemy's information, which is conducive to the revenge of the caravan.

Zheng Yiran also gave Lin Fan a general description of the signing of the contract, which was written down by the caravan captain on a kind of golden rune paper, and then signed by both parties, with a blood on it. Then the words written on the contract will burn in the air, turning into two streaks of green smoke and entering the eyebrows of the two of them. According to Zheng Yiran, it should be something that belongs to the category of curses. If you violate it, you will be attacked by the contract.

Just as Lin Fan was about to have a further detailed discussion with the old man who claimed to be from the Shui family caravan to see what kind of agreement to sign, the lean man who claimed to be from the Fang family's caravan snorted coldly: "Shui Bourne, don't fool others. Your caravan didn't go directly to Xiangyang City, but also made a detour to Jiangling. How much time does this have to take......"

"A detour to Gangneung?" After Lin Fan heard this, his eyes flickered, and his heart moved.

At this time, the thin man said to Lin Fan with an enthusiastic face: "Fellow Daoist! You might as well come to our Fang family caravan! We're going straight to Xiangyang! It only takes half a month, and of course the price is slightly higher, requiring fifteen hundred spirit stones, but our guards are very strong......"
