Chapter 518 Where do we not meet in life?
The 300-strong dart team, plus the chariots and horses, should be a very conspicuous target, if it is in the prosperous place of the southwest, it will not be quietly lost.
However, in the western Kyushu, especially in the four places of Jiangxi, Bing, Lin, and Chen, the mountains and rivers are poor, and the population is sparse, not to mention the dart team of several hundred people, and there is even a record of an entire army being lost in history.
If the dart team really deviates from the original route, the world is vast, where should I look?
But I saw the sunset in front of me red, and the red glow was like blood.
After arriving at the eighth foothold of the dart team, Mao Laobangzi found good news: the dart team was once stationed here!
I breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Zhang Heng and the others did not disappear here, but only temporarily changed their course of action.
But since the course has changed, there must be a reason for it.
Is it in danger? Or has something else happened?
After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't sit still for a moment, and instructed Yun Dewei: "You go to find Pu Tianhuai immediately, the three of you stay at the No. 7 foothold, and find out the route and reason for the detour of the dart team as soon as possible!" ”
"Then the eagle lord, you ......" Yun Dewei was stunned.
"Keep on your way!" I rolled over and got on my horse.
Cloak and rain, starry night speed.
The ninth, tenth, and eleventh footholds......
For the next few days, my group slept only two hours a day, and did not go to the store, did not stay overnight, did not eat hot food, and spent all the time on the road and tracking.
Linzhou border, the fifteenth foothold.
When I saw the lights in the distance, it was already the middle of the moon, and countless faint crows stood on the dead trees on both sides of the road and cooed.
"Guest, I can't stand this old bone." Mao Laobangzi couldn't help but complain to me, "If this continues, no matter how much silver you give, the old man will not be blessed to enjoy it." ”
"Tomorrow, will you enter the Chenzhou realm?" I asked.
"Yes, Chenzhou is an evil place, there are a lot of strange things, don't rush to the night there." Mao Lao Bangzi said.
"Okay." I nodded, "Then let's set up a shop here tonight, and everyone will take a hot shower and have a good meal." ”
The dart team has been missing for more than ten days, and according to the footsteps, if nothing happens, it will almost go to this vicinity.
Maybe tomorrow we'll find out.
I slowed my pace, and the group wandered towards the stables outside the town.
"Eagle Lord, look what it is." Cao Dejun stretched out his hand and pointed.
I squinted and saw that there were ten dart carts parked in the open space outside the horse stack!
"No, that's not our car." I shook my head and said, "Looks like there are other teams out there." ”
"Whose dart team is this, why don't you even put a flag?" Cao Dejun wondered.
In any dart bureau, the most important thing is this 'flag', and the most valuable thing is also this flag - because the flag is not for passers-by, but to inform the robbers: The goods of our dart bureau are coming, and the brothers will give way?
When the robbers saw the banner, they said in private: It turned out that the related households were here, scattered, scattered, and stared at other places.
What is a related account?
Where there is money, there is a relationship.
But it's not enough to be rich, you have to be affectionate and powerful.
Love is human affection, such as the relationship between Lu Baixian and Thirty-three Zhai, this is human affection.
The more favors there are, the easier things will be, some are just friends with wine and meat, and the robbers will rob you from time to time with red eyes, and there is no place to reason.
If a dart bureau does not have enough power, the robbers will swallow you directly, so why charge you that little relationship fee?
With the Eagle Claw Gate and the Wanzi number as the backing, there is naturally no need to worry about the power, and with Lu Baixian's personal relationship, the love word pass is also easy to pass, so the Eagle Dart Bureau can rise rapidly in just a few years.
Now other dart bureaus want to borrow the banner of 'Flying Eagle' and get 100 taels of silver a day.
This alone can net a profit of 700,000 or 800,000 yuan per year.
Regarding the various doorways of the dart flag, I have already said it once as early as when I first met the Xu family caravan, so I will not repeat it here.
"Something must have happened to the dart team without a dart flag." I said, "You arrange food and lodging first, and I'll go talk to the leader of this dart team." ”
Cao Dejun agreed, and took Mao Laobangzi into the main gate of the horse inn.
I led the black wind and walked unhurriedly in the direction of the dart cart.
"Who?" Several figures jumped out from behind the dart cart.
Although there is no dart flag, there are still people who guard the bodyguards.
"Peer, peer." I didn't hurry and said, "I'm here to stay." ”
"Which dart ...... are you?" the other man asked, but he was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly lunged at me.
If I slap it at this time, the other party's incense will be wiped out.
But I didn't.
"Bah, it's the third brother! Third brother! The other party's face was full of excitement.
Third brother?
Except for Yang Yu and Lian Huanyu, who else would call me that?
Naturally, there is.
Do you still remember, Liu Bei and Liu Bi, the two twin brothers?
At first, we were enemies, but then we became friends, and they even risked their lives to accompany me into the Black Wind Villa, until I stole the secret method of the Heavenly Demons, and slipped away without having time to say hello to them, and I was never heard from again.
I didn't expect to meet me so far away from Yuanzhou after five years.
This one who screamed and jumped with joy was the second Liu Bi.
"Second child, don't shout." The boss Liu Bei was separated from the left and right and held down Liu Bi.
"It's really ......," Liu Bi argued.
"It turned out to be the eagle master of the Eagle Claw Gate, the famous Kyushu Flying Eagle!" Liu Bei bowed to me and said, "Long admiration, long admiration." ”
Although the two brothers look exactly the same, their styles of action are very different, and looking at the outfits, the eldest has been promoted to a dart master, but the second is still an executioner.
However, the old acquaintances became strangers, which made me sigh in the bottom of my heart.
"Well, you're welcome." I waved my hand and said, "Without your brothers' help, I might not be able to stand here today." ”
"Xiao Zhu, big eyes, you take care of the dart car, I want to receive distinguished guests." Liu Bei instructed left and right, "I will find someone to replace your class later." ”
"Okay, let's go." The rest of the executioners did not object.
When we left the dart car and walked to no one's place, Liu Bei suddenly jumped up and slapped Liu Bi on the back of the head.
"It depends on the occasion to speak, there are a lot of people just now, and the relationship between us and the third brother has been exposed, how much trouble will we have to cause in the future?" Liu Bei scolded in a low voice.
"The relationship between us and the third brother is a big face, how can there be trouble?" Liu Bi was not convinced.
"Think about it, if the chief dart head knows the relationship between us and the third brother, and in the future, he will find the Eagle Dart Bureau to borrow the dart flag and borrow the dart road, do you have to let us bargain? Plainly causing trouble to the third brother. Also, will the few transactions of Wanzihao force us to engage in under-the-table transactions? Will those guys who want to enter the Eagle Claw Gate look for us to go through the back door? This one or two things, but it's all a thing. Liu Bei gushed.
Listening to this, I smiled happily.
Although the world is changing, fortunately, there are always some things that have not changed.
