Chapter 42: The Desert Caravan (2)

Although the walking speed in the desert is much slower than that on ordinary paths, at least the Xu Dynasty no longer lacks water. Boss Sun has been traveling with caravans from south to north all year round, and naturally knows what is the most important thing in the desert, so he brings a lot of water sources.

Getting rid of the trouble of water shortage, the six people of the Xu Dynasty also served as the escort of the caravan for three days.

However, the escort team originally hired by Boss Sun did not treat the six people of the Xu Dynasty with a good face in these three days, and a little resource in the desert was extremely precious, and six people came at once, and there were a lot of resources to be divided. The six members of the Xu Dynasty didn't care much about the targeting of these escort people, after all, they did take away the already precious resources.

Boss Sun has no choice, his caravan needs the protection of this escort team, otherwise it will be difficult to reach Mucheng smoothly. There are not many bandits in the desert, but they do exist.

During the three days, in addition to escorting the caravan and eating and drinking, the most people in the escort team did was to talk to Xu Dai and them. The topic of discussion was naturally the resentment of Steward Sun and their recruitment of six people from the Xu Dynasty.

No, on the evening of the fourth day, when the dry food was divided, the gossip came again.

Xu Dai smiled and sat in the camp not far from the caravan to eat dry cakes, listening to the words of the escort in his ears.

"Master, why don't we show our strength, those people have said a lot of bad things about us these days. Fluttershy asks as she eats a dry cake with white water. They were far superior to the strength of this group of escorts, but they had to listen to them talk about themselves all the time. What's more, this group of people never concealed their speech, and deliberately spoke loudly, in order to let Xu Dai and them hear.

Xu Dai said with a smile: "If they like to say it, it's up to them to say it, it's enough for us to do our part." When something really happens, they will naturally know if we are eating for nothing. ”

Zhao Bing and Wei Qi also nodded, and Xu Dai smiled and touched Fluttershy's head. Untie the valuable dagger he got from the Golden Dragon Gate Master from his waist and pin it to Fluttershy's waist.

"Master, it's time to eat snake gall. Fluttershy sighs as she looks at the snake basket next to Xu Dai.

Xu Dai smiled and grabbed a snake and expertly removed the stinky snake gall bladder, which Fluttershy had become accustomed to and swallowed without frowning.

Xu Dai's eyes suddenly fell to the bottom of the slope, where there was a slight movement just now, but Xu Dai still caught it.

"Somebody's coming. Xu Dai put down the kettle and stood up, and said a word to Boss Sun behind him.

Boss Sun guessed that the comer was not good, so he put his hand on the scabbard at his waist and walked to Xu Dai's side. Following Xu Dai's gaze, he saw a large group of people at the bottom of the slope.

"These people are also people who are lost in the desert?" Boss Sun couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the ragged people below. The knife that thought about drawing its sheath did not come out of its sheath, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the people below.

These people quickly walked uphill, and they all had blades on their bodies, and Xu Dai couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart. Boss Sun glanced at the escort team that had surrounded him at this moment, and his heart was naturally much more relieved, and he asked the people who walked uphill, "Everyone, what is the matter with you?"

The man who was clearly the leader of the group said: "We saw your caravan, so we wanted to come and ask for a sip of water." ”

Boss Sun's heart relaxed, and he smiled: "Don't worry, the water is naturally enough." ”

"Thank you!" the leader arched his hand to Boss Sun.

Xu Dai's brows furrowed slightly, many of these people had their hands on the scabbard, obviously ready to make a move. It's just that since Boss Sun said that they should drink water, Xu Dai didn't have much to say.

"Optimistic about Fluttershy. Xu Dai brought Fluttershy to Wei Qi, and among the six people, only Wei Qi and Li Meng were the second-year masters, and Xu Dai was most relieved to keep Fluttershy by Wei Qi's side.

"Brother Xu, what do you think of this group of people?" Zhao Bing walked up to Xu Dai and asked in a low voice.

Xu Dai responded: "I think this group of people is not good, although in the name of begging for water, but these people's hands are on the scabbard of the waist knife. ”

"I also don't think this group of people is good at stubble. Zhao Bing nodded and said, "Do you want us to remind Boss Sun so that he can be prepared?"

"Forget it, if this group of people is just overly vigilant, wouldn't we be wrong?" Xu Dai shook his head.

Boss Sun is indeed an alternative among businessmen, Xu Dai has never seen how straightforward and straightforward many businessmen are, but Boss Sun is like this.

After this group of people drank the water, Boss Sun smiled and said, "You guys have finished drinking the water, do you plan to leave or go with us temporarily?"

The leader said: "It's not a hurry to leave, but I won't be with you for the time being." ”

"Because we have one more thing to do. ”

Boss Sun smiled and asked, "What is it?"

The leader glanced at his companions, who were full of energy after drinking water, and suddenly sneered: "Is it necessary to rob lives and plunder wealth?"

"Brothers, copy guys!"

A group of people who were received by Steward Sun immediately pulled out their weapons from their waists, and some robbers who were closer to the escort team even cut several members of the escort team to serious injuries and killed a few people.

Boss Sun was directly kicked to the ground by the leader, and the robber leader stepped on Boss Sun's chest and sneered: "Don't you know that in the desert, strangers are the most dangerous? You let us drink a bowl of water from you, so in order to repay the favor, I will try to make you die a happy death!"

The long knife in his hand stabbed Boss Sun in the chest, and the sneer on the bandit leader's face became even thicker.

However, the long knife did not touch Boss Sun at all, and was interrupted by a thick iron chain in the middle, and the hand of the bandit leader was also dislocated due to the huge force, and his body was unbalanced and fell beside Boss Sun.

Xu Dai's body flashed, and this time it was his turn to step on the chest of the bandit leader. Picking up Boss Sun, Xu Dai made sure that Boss Sun was not seriously injured.

As for the other robbers, they were dealt with by Zhao Bing and Li Meng, these robbers were just relying on their large numbers and blades, and they were not masters at all.

"Brother Sun, you can solve it. Xu Dai handed over the bandit leader to Boss Sun, but Boss Sun let him go, obviously this middle-aged man who was a businessman was indeed a kind and generous person, and he couldn't bear to kill the robber who almost killed him just now.

However, the captain of the escort team does not have the kindness of Boss Sun, he knows the cruelty outside, if he doesn't kill this kind of person, sooner or later he will be killed by such a person. So the captain of the escort struck the robber leader with a sudden stab as he passed by him.

Boss Sun let out a long sigh and said, "This time it's thanks to you Brother Xu Dai!"

Xu Dai said with a smile: "Brother Sun's words are serious, Brother Ji is natural, there will always be a way to survive." ”

Boss Sun, who had come and gone dozens of times in the desert but had never been robbed by robbers, didn't know what he was thinking, and only after a long time did he sigh: "It seems that it is not right to greet strangers warmly, and it is inevitable that there will be people with ill intentions who will do something to me." ”

Xu Dai smiled and did not speak. He just walks back to Fluttershy and the others to continue repairing.

After this accident, the entire escort team did not dare to gossip about the six people of the Xu Dynasty again. Witnessing the Xu Dynasty and a few people easily killing a group of robbers with a large number of people, they knew that Xu Dai and they were all masters, how could it be that ordinary people like them in the escort team could gossip?

After burying the convoy and the deaths of the robbers, the caravan was on its way again.

After it was completely dark, Boss Sun asked everyone to be stationed on the spot.

At night, Boss Sun specially walked to Xu Dai's camp and said, "If nothing else, we will be able to enter Mucheng tomorrow." After entering Mucheng, what will Brother Xu Dai do?"

Xu Dai said: "Just take a look, if Brother Sun doesn't dislike it, we can continue to stay with you for a few days." ”

"So there will be a lot of trouble Brother Xu Dai!" Boss Sun looked excited, Boss Sun, who had seen Xu Dai's strength, also knew that Xu Dai was very powerful, and knew that Xu Dai didn't mind continuing to stay by his side, how could Boss Sun be unhappy?

Xu Dai smiled slightly, it was naturally not his purpose to go to Mucheng. He wanted to find out who had assassinated him, so sooner or later Xu Dai would go to his friend's territory in the West End and find out everything.
