Chapter 33 Escort Convoy

"This is my friend Zhao Fu, who is the captain of this team. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info ask the little brother to take a break, and when everyone arrives, we will set off. Zhou Futong introduced Zhao Fu to him again.

Zhong Zihao hugged his fists and saluted Zhao Fu before he was taken aside by the previous Zhou family warriors, and he kept guessing in his heart: "What kind of goods is the Zhou family escorting this time, and the quantity is so large?" Not only did the masters of the second order of Juyuan personally lead the team, but they also spent a lot of money to hire many good players. ”

You must know that the martial artists of the Juyuan Realm are real masters, and there will be no Juyuan masters among the ordinary robbers. Just imagine, you have the strength of Juyuan Realm, just find a big family to worship, the treatment is not low, there is no need to be this kind of robber who licks blood with the tip of the knife and has a bad reputation.

Just as he was guessing to himself, the door of a carriage next to him opened, and two sixteen or seventeen-year-old women came out. In front of him, a slender figure with a pale face, but no lack of beauty, is Zhou Rui, the young lady of the Zhou family; The one in the back is elf-faced, playful and cute, and a clear-eyed person knows at a glance that she is a personal maid.

Seeing the two girls coming out, Zhou Futong hurried over: "Rui'er, it's cold outside, what are you doing when you get out of the car?" Xiaojing, how do you take care of Miss? ”

The playful girl stuck out her tongue and bowed her head silently. Zhou Rui said: "Dad, it's not about Xiaojing, it's because I think it's too stuffy in the carriage, so I come out to breathe." ”

"Hey!" Zhou Futong sighed: "This time when I go to Chu Wucheng, after I sell the medicinal materials, I will definitely find you a famous doctor, so that you can recover as soon as possible." Rui'er, your mother went early, and your father was only busy with himself and didn't take care of you. It's ......."

Zhou Rui comforted Zhou Futong again and again, and finally didn't want her father to worry, so she took Xiaojing back to the car.

It didn't take long for all the hired warriors to arrive.

Zhou Futong gathered everyone together, introduced the main matters, and finally said loudly: "Everyone, Zhou is very grateful for everyone's support. This time I went to Chuwu City, everything depends on you. Now, half of the commission will be distributed to everyone first, and the rest will be given to you when you reach your destination! ”

Everyone applauded, and some people comforted Zhou Futong loudly, there is no need to worry about them. I have to say that with Zhou Futong's move of issuing half of the commission first, he immediately won the support of all the warriors, at least at this time, everyone was passionate.

Zhong Zihao silently counted, in addition to the twenty or so martial artists of the Zhou family, there were more than thirty people who were employed. Among them, there were seventeen seventh-order martial artists, nine eighth-order martial artists, five ninth-order martial artists, and finally one martial artist, who turned out to be a master of the second order of Juyuan.

This kind of battle undoubtedly relieved everyone, not to mention that they usually can't meet the robbers of the Juyuan Realm, even if they encounter one or two, everyone is confident that they will defeat each other. What's more, Zhou Futong was generous, how could a few dozen taels of gold be earned in a few days, even if he reached the Yueying Mountains, he might not be able to earn this amount in three days, not to mention the danger.

After the gold was allocated, everyone got on the bus in turn. The two girls naturally rode in a carriage, Zhou Futong and Zhao Fu rode in the same car, and another second-order martial artist of Juyuan was assigned a car separately, but Zhao Fu followed when he left, and he should have gotten chatting and getting acquainted.

There were five ninth-order martial artists, and three cars were allocated, and Zhong Zihao didn't like to share the car with others, so he occupied one alone. The other three may feel that he is too young to care about him, or they may think that he is a disciple of a family or sect and do not want to offend him, but only one of them has a bad eye, but he did not say much.

The nine eighth-order martial artists were divided into three carriages, and the remaining one was naturally ridden by several eighth-order martial artists of the Zhou family. Helplessly, the seventh-order martial artists and the rest of the Zhou family could only move forward on foot.

After a while, Zhao Fu got off the carriage of the Juyuan master and returned to the carriage that Zhou Futong was riding, and the convoy set off on the road. In this team, there are more than 30 carriages, plus the subordinates of the Zhou family and the coachman, there are nearly 100 people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large team.

Winter has passed, the sky has cleared, and the snow on the ground has basically melted, which has also led to the accumulation of mud in many low-lying places, and the speed of the convoy is not fast. Fortunately, Chilin's horsepower is strong and steady, and people will not feel a big shock in the carriage.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhong Zihao devoted himself to cultivating the exercises. Because he felt that due to the environment in the past few days, it was inconvenient to practice martial arts, so he could only practice the exercises, and now he only felt that the qi in his muscles and veins was full and full, and he would soon be able to reach the peak of the ninth order. At that time, as long as you have a wedge, you can be promoted to the realm of Juyuan.

Soon, half a day passed, the convoy stopped, and the subordinates of the Zhou family distributed food to each warrior, and after eating, they took a short rest and continued on the road.

The journey was safe and sound, and there were no robbers who did not take a long look. Maybe I have encountered it, but after seeing the Zhou family's convoy, I felt invincible and gave up the robbery.

In order not to make a detour, the convoy went all the way north, and when it arrived, it did not run into a small town, so it could only pick a relatively flat place to spend the night before dark. In fact, such a large convoy, even if it arrives in a small town, it is not easy to settle down, and it is difficult to have an inn that can accommodate everyone. It is even worse to disperse, if you encounter a robbery of goods, you can't concentrate on dealing with it.

More than 20 carriages full of goods formed a large circle at the end of the end, and the warriors of the Zhou family took care of it, while the subordinates lit a fire and cooked a little farther away. The hired warriors scattered farther away, either meditating and cultivating, or relaxing their bodies, or chatting in groups of three or five about strange things in various places.

Zhong Zihao also got out of the carriage, practiced for a day during the day, and now he can't practice, so it's rare to relax and look up at the night sky on the grass, after all, cultivation is also the best combination of work and rest.

Two warriors suddenly came to him, and one of them said directly: "Boy, I want you to get the carriage out!" ”

The rare good mood was disturbed, Zhong Zihao turned his head to look, one of them was a ninth-order martial artist who saw that he was not good at sight during the day, and the next to him was an eighth-order martial artist who was about fifty years old, both of them were carrying spears, and it seemed that they might be members of the same family. It was the young martial artist who was practicing the ninth order who was speaking.

The other party was rude to him, and he wouldn't give any good face, so he said impatiently: "Why? ”

"Why? Ha ha! The young martial artist continued: "You and I are both cultivators of the ninth order of body training, and you are the only one in the carriage, besides, I don't think you have anything extraordinary. This is my third uncle, although his cultivation is only the eighth order of physical training, but I don't think you are his opponent. Shouldn't you kid respect your elders and give up the carriage? ”

was about to answer, when he suddenly saw Zhou Rui and Xiaojing walking this way. Xiaojing also asked, "What are you talking about?" Are you talking about some interesting stories in the world? ”

After all, Zhou Rui was a young lady born in a big family, and she noticed something abnormal, and said with a smile after approaching: "You are all friends invited by my father, don't hurt the harmony, if we have anything to take care of, we will definitely add silver taels to compensate after arriving in Chuwu City." ”

The girl's body was thin and pale, and people couldn't help but feel caring, Zhong Zihao stopped the words that wanted to scold the young warrior, and turned his head to the side and ignored it.

The ninth-order martial artist's eyes lit up, his mind turned again and again, and he said, "Miss Zhou has spoken, and I, Wu Dinghao, should obey it." Boy, for Miss Zhou's sake, I'll let you go today, and when I get to Chu Wucheng, hum! The last sentence was naturally said to Zhong Zihao, and after speaking, he turned around and left with his "third uncle".

Zhou Rui naturally couldn't see Zhong Zihao's cultivation level, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken out to persuade him. may be that seeing his similar age, Zhou Rui said more to Zhong Zihao: "They didn't do anything to you, right?" Don't worry, my Uncle Zhao loves to fight the most. ”

Rao is Zhong Zihao didn't take Wu Dinghao in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be moved, and at the same time wanted to help this weak woman: "Miss Lao is bothered, I don't know what is wrong with Miss's illness?" ”

Before Zhou Rui could answer, Xiaojing on the side said: "Miss's illness was brought out of the mother's womb, and Mrs. was already weak, so Miss went a few years after she was born." Miss is miserable. ”

"Xiaojing! Who told you to talk nonsense? "Although Zhou Rui was reprimanded, she was not really angry." It's all my own fault, and over the years, my father has visited many famous doctors, but no one has a solution for my condition. This trip with my father was also my father's insistence, saying that he would take me to Chuwu City to try my luck. ”

It turned out to be congenital, Zhong Zihao couldn't help but feel bitter, he didn't know anything about this, let alone help the other party. can only comfort: "Miss is kind-hearted, Jiren has her own natural appearance, I believe that I will soon meet a famous doctor and cure my condition." ”

"Thank you, Childe!" Although she knew it was comforting, Zhou Rui still smiled.

After a while, dinner was ready, and after everyone had eaten together, they dispersed, and many warriors gathered together to talk and laugh.

Zhong Zihao returned to the carriage and continued to comprehend the fusion sword moves.

There were four or five warriors gathered around Wu Dinghao, talking about something, glancing at the carriage where Zhong Zihao was from time to time, and occasionally moving his gaze to Zhou Rui's carriage.

After dawn, the convoy set off and came to a sudden halt when it arrived.

Zhong Zihao lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that there was a small mountain range in front of him, so he didn't care about it and continued to comprehend the sword moves.

Zhou Futong and Zhao Fu had already gotten out of the car, looked ahead, and Zhou Fudao: "Brother Xian, shall we stay overnight first or continue to move forward?" ”

Zhao Fu frowned: "I always feel that I should hurry over, climb over the mountain and rest." ”

Zhou Fu channel: "It's just over the New Year, so you won't run into robbers, right?" ”

Zhao Fu shook his head: "Big brother, you also know that the two murderers in Chu Wucheng escaped, and their strength is both in the Juyuan realm, if you don't worry, we won't hire so many martial artists this time." ”

Zhou Futong was also worried, but still comforted and said: "We have walked dozens of times on this road, and the previous little robbers have also been ambushed, I think, it will not be so unlucky." ”

"I hope so." Zhao Fu said, and then remembered something: "Let's go and ask Brother Yuan what he means." ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" After Zhou Futong finished speaking, he walked with Zhao Fu towards the carriage where the hired Juyuan second-order master was.

The martial artist surnamed Yuan is in his thirties, and he is also a native of Qiyun Country, so he is quite familiar with this area, and after listening to the consideration of the two, he said: "Those two fugitives don't need to worry, they are one of the second order of the Juyuan and the other is the first order of the Juyuan, and they can't make much waves." However, it is not appropriate to spend the night next to the mountains, so it is better for us to hurry first. ”
