But even so, Zhang Dacai was still not at ease.

It is naturally not the skills of the few people in front of you who are not at ease, but the people themselves.

And the more they show their martial arts, the more uneasy they are.

Qi Zhen saw the hesitation in Zhang Dacai's eyes, and immediately glanced at Yu Liang, who understood and took out a full ingot of gold from the bag.

Qi Zhen took the gold, walked up to Zhang Dacai, and placed the gold in the empty bowl in front of Zhang Dacai.

Zhang Dacai's family does not worry about eating and drinking, and he is also a person who has seen money, but he is still dazzled by the gold ingots in front of him.

He looked down at the gold, then raised his head and looked at Qi Zhen suspiciously.

"...... are you?" Zhang Dacai asked.

"This is a fixed amount for you, if something goes wrong with this trip, it will be counted on us, and the gold will be yours." Qi Zhen replied with a smile.

Qi Zhen's original intention was to tell Zhang Dacai that he had money on several people, and he would definitely not kill him halfway because he coveted his carload of goods, please rest assured.

And Zhang Dacai looked at the gold in front of him with a bitter face: "Don't tell you, I think so, if you slaughter me halfway, isn't this thing still yours?" ”

Zhang Da has been a financial businessman for so many years, and he has never heard anything pickled.

Over the years, I have also hired bodyguards to protect the goods, but which dart bureau is not a well-known big family, it is a famous signboard in a province.

How can I dare to believe these strangers who meet in the water?

Qi Zhen also seemed to have figured out this section, no longer hidden, and said with a fist: "It's really not that we have to help you protect this dart, but that two people disappeared in our team last night, and we suspect that their disappearance should be related to the brother you are traveling with." ”

When Zhang Dacai heard that the disappearance here was related to Huang Wenbiao, he immediately panicked and hurriedly explained: "Everyone, in fact, ......"

Qi Zhen interrupted him: "I know, Brother Zhang and him also met in Pingshui, and I just met in Yixing Mansion, and I also know that his name is Huang Wenbiao......"

Then Qi Zhen made up a story, Huang Wenbiao coveted the things in Li San's hands, so he had a bad heart, and found Zhang Dacai, relying on his identity as a merchant and the carload of goods to cover up his true purpose.

Several members of the team had to admire Qi Zhen's ability to make up stories, if they didn't know the true reason for this matter, it really didn't sound flawed at first glance.

"But what proof do you have for that? Besides, they're gone in the middle of the night, and even if you follow me now, it's useless. Zhang Dacai said.

Qi Zhen was a little helpless in her heart, how can you say that you are the key NPC of this mission, and we can only get possible clues on the road by following you?

At this time, Zhang Dacai was thinking about other things in his heart, such as the strangeness of Huang Wenbiao along the way, the secret purpose, the identity of the businessman who was concealed, and the sudden deep sleep he had last night, but he believed Qi Zhen in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, the things in my companion's hands are extremely valuable, and they can be said to be priceless, and on that day, the two of you had been to Yixing, so you have to have this suspicion." Qi Zhen continued, "Now there is no news of several people, and we have no way to find out, it is really helpless to join you, and I hope you will sell face." ”

Without saying all the words, it naturally gave Zhang Dacai enough room for imagination.

For example, how did Qi Zhen know Huang Wenbiao's name? How do you know that the two of you have been to Yixing?

Therefore, in Zhang Dacai's eyes, the people in front of him are not only strong in martial arts, but also shrouded in a layer of mystery.

At this point, Zhang Dacai naturally can't say anything, if he refuses again and again, I'm afraid that these people will be angry and silently follow him behind him, wouldn't the result be the same?

Zhang Dacai nodded, and agreed to the matter.

Zhang Dacai was thinking about his own net worth and life, and everyone in the team was thinking about Lin Xiao and Li San, so this meal was eaten in a very dignified atmosphere and at a very fast speed.

After lunch, everyone said goodbye to Xiao Er, set up the carriage, and prepared to go on the road.

Before leaving, Qi Zhen glanced at the innkeeper who was still hiding behind the counter and silently settling accounts, the shopkeeper didn't even raise his head, the abacus in his hand crackled, it seemed that everything that happened here was not as attractive as the accounts in his hand.

Qi Zhen thought about it, gave up the greetings she was trying to explore, and turned to leave.

The carriage slowly drove into the official road and headed west.

Xiao Er sent everyone away and returned to the inn, but he spoke: "The shopkeeper, it's not that I'm careless, these guests have too strange tempers, kicking the door and smashing the bowl, and I don't know what nerves to have, where can I do them single-handedly." However, with my little trickery, I still got the money back, not only can the door be repaired, but the tables and chairs in our store can be replaced with new ones, I tell you......"

"I'm going out in two days, you see the inn." The shopkeeper stopped settling the accounts and interrupted Xiao Er's boasting.

"Oh, when are you going to be back?" Xiao Er was also accustomed to the shopkeeper's ignoring himself and asked.

"It's as short as three or five days, as long as ten days, and if you don't come back in ten days, this shop will be yours." The shopkeeper said.

"What are you doing here, how do you tell your last words?" Xiao Er asked.

"." The shopkeeper whispered and ignored him.

"Okay." Xiao Er didn't dare to laugh anymore and went upstairs to clean up the house.

Whether he should look forward to the safe return of the shopkeeper, or hope that he will not come back if something happens, Xiao Er decided almost without thinking.

As a junior, you have to worry about so many things, if you become a shopkeeper, you won't be tired to death?

Well, the shopkeeper is really good to himself, although he is a little bored.

So where the hell are you going?

……

Zhang Dacai's suggestion to let the team hire another carriage, or speed up the march, was vetoed by Qi Zhen.

It is said that it is a half-day journey, which is according to the speed of horses, in fact, from Liyang to Wuhu, even if the road is unimpeded, there is still a distance of nearly 150 miles.

After all, to rush to Wuhu within three hours means that the speed of travel must be accelerated to the point that it is exaggerated for normal people.

Qi Zhen calculated, even if he didn't rest all the way, everyone still had to run at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour, which was equivalent to running an oversized marathon.

The twenty-mile journey passed quickly, and at this time, the strengthening of everyone's own attributes was very obvious.

Even Qi Zhen, who had all the attribute points on the spiritual attributes, did not feel the slightest difficulty at this time.

After all, with his current status of level 23, just the attributes that the system gave him by default after upgrading have already exceeded his original attributes.

This made Qi Zhen, who was still running and looking at the scenery at the same time, moved in her heart and thought about it.

After another twenty miles, not only Zhang Dacai looked at everyone in amazement, but even the team themselves looked at each other and found the surprise in each other's eyes.

Qi Zhen decided that after this game was over, he must find a way to quantify the team's individual body data.

It seems that running is a good choice.

People do not rest, but horses do, and everyone finally ran a distance of fifty miles in an hour and came to a tea stall next to the official road.

Zhang Dacai handed the horse to the man at the tea stall and beckoned everyone to drink water and rest.

Tea stalls are generally set up on both sides of the official road for pedestrians to rest, and the stall owners are nearby villagers.

Some tea stalls also provide some food, build a stove on the spot, a big pot, as long as there is no shortage of oil and salt, no matter what food is sold, for these stall owners always have no worries about not being able to sell.

Whether it was a wilderness or an inaccessible area, Qi Zhen's team did not show any interest in Zhang Dacai's belongings, which made Zhang Dacai feel a lot more relieved, and deep down in his heart, it seemed that he didn't have to hurry up so much.

Zhang Dacai said hello to the stall owner familiarly, and it seemed like an old acquaintance.

Everyone sat in their seats, and finally had a chance to chat with Zhang Dacai.

Along the way, in addition to the slight sweat on their foreheads, even the two girls, Meng Ran and Jiang Yan, were not blushing or panting, which was unimaginable before Zhang Dacai set off.

So he was finally able to slightly understand why Qi Zhen would not hesitate to reject his offer to hire a carriage.

People don't need it at all!

Zhang Dacai was also curious about these people in front of him, so he did not refuse Qi Zhen's greetings.

"This stall owner, do you know Brother Huang?" Qi Zhen asked.

"Well, it's been almost 20 years, at that time I followed my father to go shopping, and often passed by here, at that time he set up a stall here to sell water, and now in a flash, his sons are already so old, and we can be regarded as a lifelong friendship between our fathers." Zhang Dacai pointed to the guy who was busy serving tea and water, and said with a smile.

It turned out that the guy was the stall owner's son.

Qi Zhen knew that the gap between the rich and the poor in ancient times was probably not much more than it is now, and even exceeded, and he could still maintain a heartfelt smile instead of being domineering to a tea stall owner with a disparity in status.

Judging from this point alone, this Zhang Dacai is not a bad person.

The mode of chatting between the two people is basically Qi Zhen asking, Zhang Dacai is saying, Zhang Dacai has already cultivated an eight-sided exquisite character, and when he answers questions, he can naturally say that he is not leaking.

Just chatting, Zhang Dacai became more and more puzzled in his heart, why are the questions asked by Qi Zhen all related to some ghosts and ghosts, and rumors of demons and fairies?

Zhang Dacai raised his confusion, and after learning that the purpose of Qi Zhen and the others was to visit immortals and seek Taoism, he was relieved.

He finally understood why these people were so strong on their feet, and they weren't mortals in the first place.

Zhang Dacai arched his hand: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I don't take people seriously, I have offended a lot before." ”

Qi Zhen said that you don't need to be polite, but I didn't say it before because I was afraid that you would mind too much.

Everyone in the team had no different faces, but in fact, their hearts were not as calm as they appeared on their faces.

A third of the way to Wuhu has passed, but neither the scenery nor Zhang Dacai himself shows anything out of the ordinary.

With every point they get close to Wuhu, they lose one point of hope of recovering their two teammates.

This is why Qi Zhen kept asking Zhang Dacai.

After sending off the last wave of guests except Qi Zhen and others, the stall owner finally had some leisure and sat opposite Zhang Dacai.

"Brother Zhang, this is coming back? How's it going, is this trip going well? The stall owner asked.

"You give me your pot." Zhang Dacai said with a smile.

The stall owner took off the cigarette pouch pinned to his waist and put it in Zhang Dacai's hand.
