Chapter 43: The Desert Caravan (3)
After Boss Sun went back to rest, the captain of the escort team came over again. I saw him carrying a pot of wine and walking in front of Xu Dai, standing or sitting.
Seeing the fidgeting situation of the captain of the escort team, Xu Dai smiled and said, "Please take a seat." ”
With Xu Dai's consent, the captain of the escort team sat next to Xu Dai. He opened the spout of the wine jug, took a sip of wine, and then said, "Senior......"
In the rivers and lakes that rely on strength to speak, people with high qualifications may not necessarily be seniors, while people who are only twenty or thirty years old but have too high strength are enough to be other people's seniors.
However, Xu Dai did not have the habit of being called a senior by others, so he said: "Call me Xu Dai." ”
"Brother Xu, we have offended a lot before, and please don't take it to heart with you and your friends. "The captain of the convoy is a real man, he will say whatever he wants.
Xu Dai nodded and said, "It's not a girl, we definitely won't keep everything in mind." ”
The captain of the escort team was obviously relieved, and after finding that Xu Dai was indeed very easy to get along with, he handed the wine jug in his hand to Xu Dai and said with a smile: "This is the wine jug that the woman in my family specially hung for me before I was invited to escort Boss Sun with the brothers in the team. She knew that I was addicted to alcohol at home, so she went to buy two catties of Tu Su and poured it into the wine jug, and kept telling me to be careful when I left. ”
Xu Dai listened with a smile, then took the wine jug and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Looking at the way you speak, the husband and wife are still in love." ”
The captain of the escort team laughed and said, "Actually, I originally planned to finish this work and stop desperately escorting things for others, and I have saved a lot of money over the years, and my mother-in-law has also done a cloth business in the city." I just thought that after finishing this time, I would go back with the honorarium, and in the future, I would have a big fat boy with my mother-in-law to inherit the lineage. ”
"If it weren't for Brother Xu this time, I'm afraid my wish would not have come true. ”
Xu Dai smiled lightly.
"In short, today is my Lao He who owes Brother Xu a life, if Brother Xu goes to Xiangcheng in the future, you must go to my house as a guest. By the way, my home is near the gate of Xiangcheng, and what I do is a fabric business, which is easy to find. The captain of the escort team said.
Xu Dai smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will go if I have the chance." ”
"That's fine. He grinned, glanced at the sleeping Fluttershy, and said, "Brother Xu, is she your daughter?"
Xu Dai shook his head: "It's my disciple." ”
Lao He, who was a rough man, couldn't find anyone to speak anymore, so he took the initiative to take his leave and went back to the camp of the escort team to rest.
Xu Dai put the clay pot on his back in front of him and whispered, "Senior brother, see if you see this scorching desert." Tomorrow we will be able to enter the pastoral city, we said back then that we would go through the entire West District together, and now I will definitely take you to do it. ”
——
A peerless swordsman named Lu Yangxu was in the desert with the child who had been snatched by him, and at this moment, one old and one young were surrounded by a large group of desert bandits. The old man Lu Yangxu didn't even raise his eyelids, and he said to the children beside him: "Apprentice, these unpopular guys will be handed over to you, let the teacher see what level you have learned in the past few days by learning my sword technique and using the means of sword qi." ”
The child did not respond, but the hand holding the knife was secretly straining. A desert bandit rushed up, looking at it with contempt, after all, the person he was facing was just a child in his early tens.
But then this person regretted it, because he only saw that the child, who seemed to him to be no threat, only made one knife, and then a knife qi appeared, and the knife qi affected this person, directly cutting him into two pieces!
Lu Yangxu nodded, not hiding his shock at all. Back then, in order to realize the sword qi, it took him a full month, and it was when he was in the realm of the first grade. But now it only took eight days for his disciple to be able to use his sword qi, and this kid was only eleven years old!
"Heavenly talent!" Lu Yangxu sighed in his heart, favoring this newly recruited disciple more and more.
The rest of the bandits were shocked when they saw that their own people were killed by a child so easily, but none of them were in awe. All of them rushed up and tried to deal with the kid with more people.
But how could Lu Yangxu watch his apprentice suffer a big loss, so he was about to make a move.
"Grandpa, let me deal with them. The child's immature voice came.
Lu Yangxu withdrew his hand and stood up, with a look of amazement in his eyes, but he still said: "I am your master, you little boy call me grandpa again, believe it or not, I will lose you in this desert?"
The night sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a large pile of incomplete corpses in the desert. Only an old man stood next to the pile of corpses, holding in his arms a bloodied child who had fainted from exhaustion.
Through the child's tattered clothes, the old man could see many bruises and scars on the child's body, and in the past eight days, the child has created many miracles that Lu Yangxu was amazed by. Let's ask who is an eleven-year-old child who can endure such hardships at this age, and he has a bruise when he practices knives!
"Master took you into the city. This time, Master listens to you, don't go to Mucheng, let's go to Juyue, which is more chaotic than Xizhou. ”
——
The caravan set out as soon as it was light, leading the camels, and a total of more than twenty people and a team of many camels continued their trek through the desert.
When the sun was shining three strokes, Xu Dai and they finally saw the trace of Mucheng. Although Mucheng is not as chaotic as Xizhou, it is not a place with strict rules, and from a distance, it is like a corpse that has been disemboweled by an enemy, lying in the vast desert.
And when they reached the gate of the city, the guards dispersed. There were only six people from the Xu Dynasty and some people from Boss Sun, as well as a few camels.
"Brother Xu, let's find a tavern to have a good drink first. After so many days of exhaustion, I almost forgot what it was like to drink heavily. Boss Sun led the camel at the door of the restaurant and smiled at Xu Dai.
Xu Dai smiled and nodded: "Me too, Brother Sun, let's go upstairs and drink." ”
First let Xiao Er lead a few camels to the horse pen next to him, and Boss Sun said boldly: "Little Second Brother, come to ten catties of good mutton, and then five catties of barley wine!"
Xiao Er answered and went to the back kitchen to cook, and then went to pick up wine.
When the ten people went upstairs, Boss Sun said with a smile: "When it comes to the highland barley wine that is a specialty of the West District, it is an excellent wine. Has Brother Xu ever drunk it?"
Xu Dai smiled: "The mouth is not deep, and I haven't drunk it much." ”
"Then Brother Xu should drink more this time. Boss Sun smiled heartily.
Boss Sun really has no power to fight back when he fights with others, but when it comes to drinking, it is very powerful. Xu Dai was poured more than half a catty of barley wine by Boss Sun alone, and in the end, if Li Meng hadn't helped Xu Dai drink some wine, Xu Dai might have been defeated by Boss Sun at the wine table.
Zhao Bing and Wei Qi had bright smiles on their faces, they stayed in the desert for eight days, and when they came to the city-state again, the special taste in their hearts was hard to say. So the two of them also learned from Boss Sun, and they ate meat and drank a lot.
On the contrary, Zhao Shuyun and Fluttershy look ladylike, chewing slowly, not like a man.
After settling the meal money, Boss Sun said to Xu Dai: "Brother Xu, the camel is waiting for it to be here, and I will contact the buyers in the city first." Brother Xu, you can eat and drink as much as you like here, and you will pay when I come back. ”
Xu Dai smiled: "No need to do this, let's go with Brother Sun, so that we can see the precious porcelain in Brother Sun's hands." ”
Boss Sun laughed and said, "Then let's go." ”
Out of the restaurant, Boss Sun said: "Among the families and forces that want to buy porcelain, the Liu family in Mucheng has the largest number of purchases, so we go to the Liu family first." ”
The Liu family in Mucheng has a big business in the city, and the head of the Liu family likes to collect porcelain and other objects recently, and the collection atmosphere in the city is naturally driven by the head of the Liu family.
When they came to Liu's house, Xu Dai asked Boss Sun to enter Liu's house, and they were waiting for Boss Sun outside.
After a pillar of incense or so, Boss Sun walked out with a blue face. Xu Dai saw that Boss Sun's face was not good-looking, so he asked, "Brother Sun, what's wrong?"
"The Liu family no longer buys porcelain, and the head of the Liu family also told me that there are few family forces in the entire Mucheng that will buy porcelain. "Boss Sun didn't hide it.
Xu Dai asked, "Does Brother Sun know why?"
Boss Sun nodded.
