Chapter 84: Bodyguards
After more than ten days of trekking, everyone finally entered the Shandong territory, because everyone is injured, so this road did not go too fast, while walking while recuperating from injuries, only walking dozens of miles a day, just looking for a place to stay and rest, this day at dusk, they came to Jinan Mansion on the edge of a small shop to stay.
This is a small shop next to the official road, specializing in receiving passing caravans, after a few people dismounted, they asked the guy for a small courtyard, and after handing over the horse to the guy, Wu Ran began to shout for the guy to prepare wine and food.
After everyone finished washing, the guy had already prepared the meal, and asked if they would eat in the tavern in front of them, or send them in, according to Ye Qiushui and Gao Biying's ideas, they would eat in the small courtyard, after all, it should be cleaner here, girls, they all like to be clean.
But Xiang Luyang was unusually this time, and he had to go to the tavern in front of him to eat, his reason was that he had just arrived in Shandong and wanted to learn about the folk customs here, so as to prepare for the future.
When everyone came to the tavern, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, all drinking in big bowls, eating meat in large pieces, and talking about something with red faces, the land of Qilu has always been the same, and the wine style and martial arts are parallel, so Xiang Luyang and the others didn't mind too much.
After sitting down, Xiang Luyang also learned from those people, replacing the small cup with a large bowl, chatting with Luo Tianwu and others while drinking, and listening to what the people at the other tables were talking about from time to time.
After listening to it for a while, Xiang Luyang didn't hear anything useful, so he began to concentrate on drinking and eating.
When Xiang Luyang and the others walked into the tavern, there was a pair of eyes in the corner, staring at their group, to be precise, they should be staring at Ye Qiushui and Gao Biying.
This is a young man with a pale face and deep-set eye sockets, a pair of gloomy eyes, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, all show that this young man has been in a high position for a long time, and he is the kind of high position that holds the power of life and death.
The middle-aged man sitting next to him knew what was going on when he saw that the young man had been staring at Ye Qiushui and Gao Biying, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to invite those two beauties over to have a drink with Gongzi?" ”
The young man said: "No need, it's not clear about the strength of this group of people, don't act rashly first, you can go over and talk to them in a while, and see what they are from." ”
The middle-aged man said: "Don't be so troublesome, just rely on the prestige of my Haisha Gang in this Qilu land, don't say that you invite them over, or rob them over, they don't dare to say anything." ”
It turns out that this young man is Hai Zhongtian, the young master of the Haisha Gang, and his father is Hai Lie, the leader of the Haisha Gang today, this Haisha Gang is the largest gang in Shandong, with more than 10,000 gangs under his hands, and the famous knights in Shandong are all friends with him Haisha Gang, and even the prefect of Shandong, and the leader of this Haisha Gang, are all brothers.
This Hai Zhongtian is Hai Lie's only son, although he has been pampered since he was a child, but his kung fu is not weak, and he is also a master who can rank in the top ten in this Shandong territory, so even if he does not rely on his prestige, in this Qilu land, few people dare to provoke him, this time it is because he is bored at home, so he comes out to play with the caravan selling smuggled salt.
The middle-aged man next to him is his entourage named Hai Yong, and he is the roundworm in Hai Zhongtian's stomach, as long as Hai Zhongtian has any ideas, he can know immediately.
Seeing Hai Zhongtian staring at Ye Qiushui and Gao Biying just now, Hai Yong knew that the young gang leader's lustful problem was again, so he said what he just said.
It turns out that there is nothing wrong with this Hai Zhongtian, that is, he is lustful, and his lustful way is different from others, he likes to torture women, looking at a beautiful and incomparable woman, being tortured to death by himself little by little, Hai Zhongtian will be unprecedentedly satisfied.
When I saw Ye Qiushui and Gao Biying today, Hai Zhongtian knew that he had a new toy.
Hai Yong took a bowl of wine and came to the table of Xiang Luyang and the others and said, "I don't know what to call a few people, who is in charge here?" ”
Seeing someone coming, Marco pointed at Xiang Lu Yang and said: "This is our dart head, we are walking darts, and this time we are going to Dengzhou Mansion to pick up darts." ”
Along the way, Marco doesn't know how many times he has told this set of lies, and he has already been ripe.
Hai Yong put down the wine bowl, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Haiyong, it is the caravan manager outside, we also went to Dengzhou Mansion to deliver goods, we came out in a hurry, and we haven't invited bodyguards yet, I don't know if a few people can go with us?" ”
"Rest assured, although we are on the road together, we will definitely not treat everyone badly in terms of honorarium."
Xiang Luyang didn't expect that when he was on the road, he casually told a lie and actually got business, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
Seeing that Xiang Luyang didn't speak, Hai Yong continued: "What, Xiang Dart doesn't want to take this business? ”
Xiang Luyang hurriedly said: "No, no, how can you not do it if you have business to come to the door, I am thinking about it, to see if the time is enough, because the dart we want to pick up is a little urgent, and the team will go immediately, I am afraid of delaying the trip." ”
Hai Yong laughed and said: "Don't worry, Xiang Dart, we are doing business in this Shandong territory all the year round, from here to Dengzhou Mansion, I know a shortcut, and I guarantee that I will not miss your trip." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "In this case, then I will take this dart, about the cost, you can talk to my brother later." ”
With that, he pointed to Mark.
Marco pulled Hai Yong aside, and after discussing the price, he agreed on the departure time for the next day, and Hai Yong went back to the room with Hai Zhongtian.
After Haiyong left, Marco said, "Boss, why did you promise them?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Anyway, they are all on the way, they run Dengzhou for a long time, and we can also learn a little about the situation in Dengzhou on the way." ”
After returning to the room, Hai Yong said to Hai Zhongtian: "Childe, why do you want them to give us bodyguards, in this Shandong realm, it seems that no one dares to fight our Haisha Gang's idea, right?" ”
The sky in the sea is cloudy and yin said with a smile: "The game has to be played little by little to be enjoyable, and the game that you will know the result when you come up is boring to play." ”
Hai Yong smiled and said, "How does the boy want to play?" ”
Hai Zhongtian said: "I haven't thought about the specifics yet, you find a few thieves tomorrow, try the skills of these people on the road, see their strength, I'm deciding how to play with them." ”
After returning to the small courtyard, Ye Qiushui said to Xiang Luyang: "I feel that this matter is not so simple, when we came in, I saw that their caravan was carrying knives, and the cars were empty, not like they were going to Dengzhou Mansion to deliver goods." ”
Gao Biying heard Ye Qiushui say this, and also spoke: "I agree with Qiushui's opinion, and the young man who is with Hai Yong always looks at people strangely, and there is always a chilling feeling. ”
Xiang Luyang said: "You can see that it is right, this group of people is not a delivery person at all, they are selling illicit salt, and the salt stains and empty bags on their cars are the best proof." ”
Gao Biying said: "Do you know that you still go with them?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Don't forget, I'm the new governor of Dengzhou, transporting smuggled salt from my territory, how can I not ask about it?" ”
At this time, everyone remembered that Dengzhou's specialty was salt.
