Early the next morning, Hu Tao took Fang Zheng and Kurumi to the city gate to meet Katie, and then the two sides had a short conversation, and after determining their respective tasks, they set off.

It's just that looking at the caravan in front of him, Fang Zheng frowned slightly.

Katie didn't lie, this caravan had a total of three flatbed trucks in addition to the carriage that Katie was riding in. And Fang Zheng took a closer look, there was nothing wrong with these goods, just very ordinary goods. Of course, if you want to say that it is valuable, it must be valuable, and the question is ......... It's because of the value.

According to Fangzheng's experience in the past and when working with the Northland Chamber of Commerce, generally speaking, the Chamber of Commerce has its own escort team, and the mercenaries are hired to a large extent to fill in the gaps.

To put it bluntly, the low-end combat power is enough, but it is necessary to hire a few high-end combat power towns.

Of course, you don't expect to be able to hire a legendary powerhouse, but if you are a regular mercenary who is generally qualified, it will be enough to use it to suppress the market. After all, no matter how high the level of ordinary bandits and bandits is, it is great to support the elite, and if you go up to the master level, you can find a well-paid job with status anywhere, so as not to be such a promising career as a bandit.

Even if it is an ordinary elite-level professional, it is enough to be a guard for the nobles or something, unless there is something hidden, who will be a bandit.

Because of this, generally speaking, a group of ordinary guards, plus a few regular mercenaries, is actually enough to ensure the safety of the caravan along the way.

But Katie's caravan was different, they didn't have their own guards at all, four charioteers, plus Katie there were five people in total. Moreover, the four coachmen are also not young, and they don't seem to have much combat effectiveness. In other words, the safety of this caravan completely fell into the hands of Hu Tao, Kurumi and Fangzheng.

In other words, if Fang Zheng and the others had any evil intentions, as long as they took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the left and right, they directly killed the four coachmen, and then tied up the eldest lady Katie, and the goods of the entire caravan and the eldest lady would be their trophies.

Why is this eldest lady so miserable?

Fang Zheng remembered that when she first did the task, she seemed to be quite rich, so she wouldn't be so poor.

Then again.........

"Walnut, walnut ........."

"Huh? What's up? Little Red? ”

Hearing Fang Zheng come over and call his name, Hu Tao, who was sitting on the car board next to him, also turned his head to look at her curiously.

"The reward for this commission......... What do you think? ”

"Woo........."

Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Hu Tao frowned and thought for a moment, then stuck out his tongue.

"To be honest, the pay is not high, and it is relatively low. To be honest, the association also secretly told me that this commission has actually been hanging for a while, but most people are reluctant to accept it, one is too far, and the other is too low, to put it mildly, I am afraid that this reward will earn a round-trip fare. Although some mercenaries took the commission, the employer didn't seem to be at ease with them, so they didn't negotiate ........."

Saying this, Hu Tao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"But this time it's okay, the employer seems to be quite reassuring us, and our main purpose is to go to Silver City, right? In fact, my employer had asked me why I had taken the commission, and I told her that we wanted to go to Silver City to see the world. ”

I see.

Hearing Hu Tao's answer, Fang Zheng nodded secretly. It seems that Katie is also quite reliable and knows how to protect herself. It is estimated that she also saw that she was full of girls on her side, and Hu Tao's reputation was outside, so she agreed with it. After all, compared to ordinary mercenaries of unknown origin, mercenaries of the same sex and a good reputation are obviously the best choice.

"But it's kind of weird what you're going to say."

Sitting on the car board, Hu Tao shook his legs and said curiously.

"I've been here for months, and I've heard a little bit about that country of wealth, and I've heard that they don't have anything but money. And she always spends a lot of money, the local tyrant is terrible, this little sister is also doing business in the country of wealth, but she looks so poor......... It seems that the rumors are not to be believed. ”

No, it's true that people in that country are rich, this eldest lady......... At least it used to be quite rich.

As for now......... It's hard to say.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shook her head, and then she looked at Hu Tao and asked another question in her heart.

"Hu Tao, you are here......... Habitual to stay? ”

"Woo........."

Faced with Fang Zheng's inquiry, Hu Tao frowned.

"If you want to talk about habits, you must not be used to it at first, for example, the sanitary conditions here are very average, and we are mercenaries, and it is difficult to go to the bathroom when we go out. Fortunately, Crazy Third Sister and I don't have to worry about this......... The other mercenaries are miserable, but I often see mercenaries who can't hold back and run into the grass to solve them......... Oh, by the way, the last time I was carrying out a commission, there was a mercenary who ran into the woods to make it easier and was bitten by a poisonous snake......... Tut-tut........."

"Ahem, I didn't mean this ........."

Listening to Hu Tao's complaints, Fang Zheng also coughed a few words, this question ......... Well, he didn't want to go deep either.

"I mean......... Isn't it more peaceful over there in the Heavenly Dao Palace, and there is no need to fight and kill, haven't you thought about going back to the Heavenly Dao Palace? ”

"Of course I did, after all, I still have a lot of friends over there. But to be honest, after getting used to it, I found that life here is not bad, and the mercenaries sound more troublesome, but those who ask for commissions also have their own troubles and want to ask for help, so I think it's good to be able to help them solve their problems. And ........."

Saying this, Hu Tao clenched his fist and waved.

"We're a secret unit gathering intelligence, doesn't that sound particularly handsome? It's like an undercover agent in a movie........."

No, that's not a good analogy, is it.........

Listening to Hu Tao's cheerful speech, Fang Zheng also had black lines on his face, but fortunately, it seemed that Hu Tao did not have any psychological shadows, nor was there any dissatisfaction and inconvenience.

Maybe I really thought of them as too fragile before?

I don't know if it's because everyone is lucky enough or the goddess blesses, I didn't encounter any problems on the first day of departure, and I didn't have any problems on the second day, only when I camped at night, I encountered a few wild wolves, and I was directly shot to death by Mad San and then roasted and eaten by Fang Zheng.

By the way, wolf meat is really hard and unpalatable.

But in the early morning of the third day, just when Fangzheng, Hu Tao and Kurumi woke up to have breakfast and were about to hurry, they suddenly heard a commotion from the carriage in front of them. The three of them walked over curiously, only to find that the boss of the coachman was negotiating something with Katie.

"But, but we're talking about it........."

"You can't say that, Miss, you heard it just now, that road seems to be a little dangerous now, we are just ordinary people, we don't dare to risk our lives........."

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Hearing the argument between the two, Hu Tao came over curiously and asked, and when he saw Hu Tao appear, the car boss also had a bitter face.

"Miss Hu Tao, come and listen, just now we met a horse team passing in front, I went to inquire about the news, and the horse team told us that the road leading to Gray Whale Harbor ahead was very dangerous........."

"Dangerous?"

"Yes, I heard that there seems to be a necromancer haunting there recently, we are just ordinary chauffeurs, and we are not as capable as you, so I originally wanted to talk to this eldest lady and ask her to change another way and bypass from Rockfall Valley, so that it may take a few more days, but it must be safe, and the horse team before also bypassed from Rockfall Valley."

"Isn't that great?"

Hearing the car boss's words, Hu Tao blinked.

"What's the problem?"

"But, but in this way, it will take three more days........."

Katie's anxious little face flushed, she clenched her fists hard, and looked at the car boss with tears in her eyes.

"In this way, by the time we get to Gray Whale Harbor, we won't be able to catch the ship to Silver City, and we will have to wait another week for the next flight......... The goods will not arrive on time ........."

"But Miss, life safety is still important, if you add money to me, I have to have my life to spend it, right? If you die, then the money earned is also in vain......... And I said Miss, you don't want to die. Those necromancers aren't good people........."

"Woo........."

Katie was obviously not good at words, and in the face of the car boss's words, she lowered her head and remained silent. Fang Zheng only shook his head silently in this regard, he remembered very well that this eldest lady had never been good at contact with others, and now it seemed that her problem had not improved, but seemed to have deepened.........

But......... That's a real problem.
