After walking on the road for more than 20 days, he didn't even go out of Dacheng's country, after all, it was a caravan to follow, and he couldn't move up quickly, so it was inevitable to slow down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xi were not in a hurry to leave, so it was a good choice to follow the caravan all the way and look at the scenery.

The conditions of the caravan are not simple, the goods transported are from the capital Jigu Zhai, which is a store specializing in selling porcelain and ancient paintings of some historical value, which is very prestigious in the capital, the shopkeeper is a very funny but well-read old man, and the background is also profound, I heard that he is from the side branch of the Rongwang Mansion, also surnamed Ye, and is considered half a royal person.

Before the Great Apocalypse, all the treasures in Jikosai were hidden in the palace by the shopkeeper, so the things were not damaged much, but the building was not even visible.

The capital gradually stabilized, so there seemed to be business in the Great Zhou, and someone specially bought a bunch of celebrity calligraphy and paintings and some fine porcelain and jade, so it was specially transported by its caravan. Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici followed all the way.

The shopkeeper knew the identities of Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici, the emperor greeted King Rong, and King Rong mentioned it to the shopkeeper again, so Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici were dressed up as Jianghu people at this time, and followed the caravan all the way to Dazhou.

It's just that the people in the caravan don't know the identities of the two, so they don't have the appearance of those who are condescending and respectful, they only know that these two people are relatives of the shopkeeper, so they accept them to follow. During the previous catastrophe, they were out to deliver goods, and they had just come back, so naturally they had not seen Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici in the limelight.

The journey lasted for nearly a month, and the caravan traveled smoothly all the way, until noon, when the caravan stopped, and then began to light a fire and cook.

Most of the food he brought with him was some large cakes and jerky, because of the weather, fresh food could not be stored for a long time, and in the past month, Fang Xiaoyu could be regarded as experiencing what it was like to fade out of his mouth.

However, under such conditions, she will not make any trouble with the eldest lady's temper, she will do what she wants, she just hopes to go to Da Zhou as soon as possible, find a restaurant to have a good meal, and comfort her stomach that has almost forgotten what delicious things are.

"Childe, miss, let's have a bowl of broth first." The leader of the caravan was a man with a bit of a short temper, with an ice cube face to everyone, unsmiling, and a somewhat cheap mouth, not specifically aimed at anyone, he himself could sometimes reflect on himself, but the next time he should be cheap. The people in the caravan are used to it.

On the contrary, the deputy team is a good old man, always smiling, and it is difficult to see him angry. He is very popular in the caravan and looks like a smiling Bodhisattva.

The deputy team's name is Sun Zhuang, he was originally a scholar, and he was named Sun Shan after taking the imperial examination three times in a row, and he also knew that he might not be the material for reading, and when he reached middle age, he didn't insist anymore, but found a job, barely able to support himself and his wife and children.

When I first came to the caravan, I was always laughed at, after all, he was a scholar, and he should have been the life of the master, but unfortunately this one was not angry, and he didn't have that life, but he became a runner. However, Sun Zhuang has always been open, he thinks that he has the ability to do what kind of work, he has no ability to take the top prize, do he have to persist again and again until he is eighty years old, and then he is tired of his wife and children to support him as a waste? Relying on his own ability to earn silver, he does not feel ashamed, now this job is very good, although he often has to leave home to transport goods far away, but the owner gives a lot of silver, his wife and son can also live a good life, no longer have to wear sewing and mending three or five years of torn clothes, no longer have to worry about his son not being able to go to school and is illiterate. He was already satisfied.

"Thank you." Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici took Sun Zhuangsheng's full bowl of broth and took a sip gently, their faces unchanged.

This month, she has gotten used to it. At first, it was okay, and you could still eat something good when the food could be preserved, but unfortunately, later, all I ate was tasteless things.

This broth is made from the dried meat mixed with water, and it has a slightly salty taste, but because there is no other seasoning, the taste is really not delicious.

"That's all that's left now, whether you like to eat it or not."

The captain of the caravan is named Liu Zhongyuan, it sounds like a very elegant name, at first glance I thought it was a scholar, but unfortunately, the text is not right, under the elegant name is a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, it looks very muscular, compared with him, whether it is Ye Xici or Sun Zhuang, they all seem a little petite and exquisite.

Fang Xiaoyu was used to his yin and yang weirdness, not to mention that they had only been following the caravan for a month, they were their companions who had been walking together in the caravan for several years, and he was still stubbornly cheap when it was time to be cheap. On the contrary, the people in the caravan knew that he had a cheap mouth, and he felt uncomfortable for a while if he didn't choke on himself, but he didn't have a bad heart, and he was really good at being a man and doing things, so he wasn't very annoying.

Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici shook their heads with a smile, they had heard this six or seven times in the past month. Anyway, after saying this, there was nothing to do, and then he drank the broth himself with a look of disgust, and the contrast between before and after made Fang Xiaoyu look at him quite pleasing to the eye.

Actually, they don't usually do that. It's just that this time, when they were out of the house, they negligently left all the seasonings they had prepared in the capital, which caused them to gnaw on tasteless flatbread and jerky all the way, which was really sad.

"He's just having this temper, don't be surprised." Sun Zhuang also shook his head helplessly, and then swallowed a mouthful of dried meat with difficulty, looking a little painful. Although it is a delivery, the owner is generous on weekdays, and even if they go out in the wind and sun, they rarely eat this tasteless food.

Ye Xici shook his head and said, "Why, it's us who bother." ”

"No, no, we transport goods on weekdays, and it may be more than a year when we go out, and every time I look at the same person, I don't have anything to say. It's rare to have a fresh face joining, and it's a lot more fun along the way. Sun Zhuang hurriedly waved his hand.

"Miss Childe is going to participate in the martial arts conference this trip?" Sun Zhuang asked casually. These two people look like they are from the rivers and lakes, and this son is still holding a sword in his hand, going to Da Zhou at this time will make you easily remind him of the martial arts conference that Da Zhou is about to hold.

Ye Xici nodded and said: "Let's take it here, the rivers and lakes are calm, but it's a little boring, I just heard that Da Zhou is going to hold a martial arts conference and elect the leader of the alliance, and I want to take a look." ”

"It's no wonder that the rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou have always been scattered in the past, but this time a peerless demon suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, and I heard that many righteous people of various sects have been killed, so these sects want to unite to exterminate the demon path. But if they were fighting separately, they might not be that person's opponent, so they came up with the matter of the martial arts conference, and wanted to unite to lead the demon to appear in the world, and wipe out the demon and his sect. Sun Zhuang also shook his head, and he didn't know what he was regretting.

"Brother Sun seems to know a lot about this matter?" Fang Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

Sun Zhuang also smiled back: "Earlier, our caravan just went to the Yingzhou Freight Fair, you know, there are many people from the rivers and lakes in Yingzhou, and many sects have taken root here. When I was in Yingzhou, the streets and alleys were talking about the martial arts conference that was going to be held in Da Zhou, and I heard that many sects in our Dacheng rivers and lakes would also go to participate in the martial arts conference. For example, Qin Wanglou, the Tiger Crane Sect, Kyushu Gate, Canglan Sea Pavilion, and the Ji family, which has recently re-emerged in the rivers and lakes, are all ready to leave for Dazhou. ”

"How much does Brother Sun know about the devil?" Fang Xiaoyu asked curiously. Although she already knew the general idea, sometimes these business runners heard more and more detailed gossip.

Sun Zhuang frowned and shook his head, "I haven't heard much. I just heard that the demon seems to have come from the Demon Cult. You must also know that in the rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou, the Demon Sect has always been a plate of loose sand, but I don't know where such a demon came from, and it only took less than a year to reintegrate the Demon Sect like a plate of scattered sand. And this demon is cruel and murderous, I heard that he first singled out children, and then began to hunt and kill the elders of various sects. His martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has begun to openly provoke the heads of various sects, and he is strong in martial arts, and many sect leaders have been defeated by him, and even abolished by him. ”

"It's no wonder that it will cause jealousy and backlash among martial arts people." Ye Xici nodded. Such a person is actually very dangerous, because he has no bottom line in his heart, and no one knows what he will do.

"Childe and Miss are going to Da Zhou, but they have to be careful in everything." Sun Zhuang still said uneasy.

"They're going to find death themselves, what kind of good people are you doing! Hum! Sun Zhuang had just finished instructing, and Liu Zhongyuan suddenly interjected.

Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici smiled bitterly, this person's mouth is like this, sometimes I want to tear him apart, but he seems to know how to stop in moderation, stop after speaking, as if you are talking about him, you are not generous.

"Captain!" Sun Zhuang tugged at Liu Zhongyuan's sleeve in disgust.

"What! Am I not right? Look at the two of them, the thin one is like a monkey, what kind of martial arts conference are they going to attend? Let me tell you, there are many bandits on the road ahead, you should be careful yourself, if it is really blocked by bandits, we will give priority to protecting the goods in good condition, as for your life and death, I don't bother to care about you! Liu Zhongyuan always felt that although Ye Xici looked quite cold, he was just a showman, and that Fang Xiaoyu was an ordinary person who didn't know anything, and he couldn't see a little bit of martial arts on his body, thinking that a pretending hero with a sword was a martial arts master? It's just naïve!

In fact, Liu Zhongyuan especially hates these so-called Miss Childe who walks with the caravan. The reason has to be traced back to a long time ago, and when he had not yet become the captain and was a deputy team, he was also a young master of the clan who followed their caravan to the Great Moon Country with a maid who seemed to be overwhelmed.

Because the young master's family is powerful and powerful, and it is because of the relationship between King Rong, although they don't like it, they have to take it, but they didn't expect that when they first entered the border of the Great Moon Country, the maid was taken by a gentleman.

The young master didn't want his maid to be robbed by others, and he resisted, but all the guards he brought with him were killed by the other party, and in the end, even the young master was not spared.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with their caravan, escorting the young master to Dayue, their task had been completed, who knew that they would still suffer an unwarranted disaster. After they went back, the young master of the family was dead, and he refused to give up, and they didn't dare to seek revenge from the Great Moon Country, so they poured their anger on their caravan. The captain at that time was tortured to death, and he almost lost half his life. It was also because of this that he later became the captain, but for those young masters who wanted to travel with the caravan, especially the kind of relationship that was stuffed in, he was especially disgusted.

At this time, Ye Xici and Fang Xiaoyu reminded him of the young master and maid who tortured him, so he didn't stop talking coldly along the way.

"What? Is there still a road bandit ahead? Fang Xiaoyu ignored Liu Zhongyuan's disdain, but asked.

Sun Zhuang nodded and said: "After the front, we will reach the boundary of the rivers and lakes, the people of the rivers and lakes are wild and uninhibited, and there are chivalrous and righteous knights, and naturally there are robbers who rob money." It was a chaotic area, and there were often bandits blocking the road and robbing the caravan, so most of the caravans had to give out some silver every time they passed by, so as to avoid disaster. ”

"I see." Fang Xiaoyu nodded.

"When you're done eating, hurry back to the carriage and set off as soon as possible." Liu Zhongyuan ignored the other party's laughter and hated it.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't follow him, and was very obedient and got into the carriage with Ye Xici, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.

People say that Cao Cao is the fastest person in the world, after all, Cao Cao Cao is here.

Originally, although there were often bandits on this road, they were not always encountered. It's a pity, I don't know if it's Liu Zhongyuan's crow's mouth or Fang Xiaoyu's bad luck, but it didn't take long to go, and it was 'I planted this tree, and I opened this road'.

Although Liu Zhongyuan was a little cheap, he was still very responsible, and he bargained with the bandit leader, and finally paid a sum of money, and finally this matter passed.

Originally, although there were many people who killed people and overstole goods among the bandits, most of them also knew how to trickle the water. Some caravans have already traveled here many times, and every time they kill them, they may offend people, after all, these caravans are likely to have a terrible backstage behind them, and it is better to collect a large sum of silver every time, and a few more times, it is worth this caramel of goods.

Fortunately, the robber this time is a familiar face, and he has also received a lot of silver from Liu Zhongyuan, so he naturally took the money in one hand and released the person with the other.

Originally, he was about to leave, but he didn't know what kind of sheep epilepsy the bandit had suddenly made, and when he saw the carriage where Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xiqi were sitting, he suddenly shouted 'Stop' and stopped the team again.

Liu Zhongyuan's heart mentioned that he was in his throat, for fear that the history of the year would repeat itself, and there would be another disaster or something, this time he was the captain, if these two people died halfway, he would definitely bear the charge.

Liu Zhongyuan wanted to strangle Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici for a while.

The bandit leader opened the curtain of the car rudely, and just met Fang Xiaoyu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, so the corner of the bandit leader's mouth twitched, and the smile was obscene so that Fang Xiaoyu wanted to vomit.

"It's a good thing, it seems that the owner of this village is not only going to rob money, but also to rob a woman." The bandit leader smiled lewdly.

Fang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled brighter than him, and then turned his head to look at Ye Xici, but pointed his finger at the bandit leader and said, "Husband, he said that he wanted to rob someone." (To be continued.) )
