Chapter 141: The Roadblockers
"Shopkeepers, shopkeepers, what about you shopkeepers? Call your shopkeepers out to me!" Lian Ji pretended to be very arrogant and said loudly.
"This gentleman, I'm the leader here, I don't know what you're doing here?" A gray-haired old man, trembling on crutches, came out and spoke.
The old man looked to be at least 80 years old, his old skin was like dry tree bark, and there was hardly any flesh in his body, except for a layer of skin wrapped around his bones.
However, the old man's gaze was still stubborn, and he didn't seem to want his chamber of commerce to be swallowed up like this. Seeing the old man like this, Lian Ji began to think about his previous plan again, if he could, he might be able to help him.
But in any case, the plan still had to go on, but this time they were wronged.
"I am on the orders of the lord's family to deliver a batch of fine wine to Lord Liu Nanbin Liu of Longshou City, and I want to entrust a caravan to help us deliver the goods. I feel like you're good, would you be interested in working with me? Lian Jijiao sat down on the chair and said with a big grin.
"I don't know why Your Excellency chose us, it would be safer to choose a larger chamber of commerce for such a major escort activity." The old man asked cautiously.
"The reason is simple, you have the lowest asking price! Choosing those big caravans, what else do I have to earn? Lian Ji patted his money bag and said with a smile on his face.
Although this old man despises people like Lian Ji who will do anything for the sake of profit, he has to say that this is indeed a good opportunity for the Ferry Chamber of Commerce, and if he succeeds, he can win a little respite.
"Sorry, since our itinerary has already been decided, we need to deliberate before we can make a final decision." The old man did not directly refuse Lian Ji, but he did not immediately agree.
"It's okay, I can wait, even if you don't agree, I have a lot of other opportunities to choose from, at most, to earn a little less." Lian Ji said with a look of nonchalance.
The old man walked to the lounge of the Chamber of Commerce and began to discuss with many members of the Chamber of Commerce whether to accept the escort mission.
After Lian Ji waited outside for more than ten minutes, the old man walked out of the lounge with a group of people. The old man walked at the front of these people, and behind him was a fair-skinned young man.
"After our discussion, we have decided to accept your entrustment. Next, we will inspect your goods according to the prescribed process, and if there is no problem, we will officially start the delivery task. The old man said.
"My surname is Sun, you can call me the shopkeeper Sun, this is my child, his name is Sun Linshu, and he will follow us to deliver the goods. I'm getting older and not as healthy as I used to be, so he will lead the caravan in my place in this transport. Don't look at his age now, but he has been doing business with me since he was a child and has a lot of experience. It's no worse than those veterans on the market. ”
"Stop! Don't tell me these useless things, I'm too lazy to care about your things! All you have to do is make sure to get these things to where I ask them to go. Lian Ji pretended to be impatient and said.
"Rest assured, we promise to complete the task!" Shopkeeper Sun assured Lian Ji.
"Then I'll leave first, you'd better complete the task smoothly, otherwise the punishment of our lord's family is not something you can afford to deserve." Lian Ji stood up, patted the dust on his body with a disgusted face and said.
"Then I'll go first, and it's your own business how to deliver it? All you have to do is get it to me safely! After saying that, Lian Ji threw down the deposit and left here without looking back.
After Lian Ji left the temporary station of the Ferry Chamber of Commerce, he found a hidden position and began to observe quietly. It wasn't until he saw that the people from the Ferry Chamber of Commerce had removed all the poisoned wine he had prepared that Lian Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at Lian Ji's performance just now, but it's actually very tiring, don't forget that he can now carry this heaven-level curse on his body, and Lian Ji almost died of exhaustion in order to make these actions.
When it was time to set off, the people of the Ferry Chamber of Commerce began to pack their luggage, organize their carriages and horses, and prepare to go to Longshou City.
Lian Ji sat on the back of the centipede, and quietly followed behind the Ferry Chamber of Commerce in case something unexpected happened.
Things along the way were relatively smooth, and the only accident was that before they arrived at Rocky Ridge, a small group of robbers targeted them and planned to block the road and rob them.
However, after Lian Ji learned the news, he ordered the Void Mantis to deal with these guys in advance, so as not to make a mistake.
Under the silent protection of Lian Ji along the way, the Ferry Chamber of Commerce successfully came to the entrance of the Troubled Stone Ridge.
After a night of camping here, they entered the Rocky Ridge the next day, and could find that they were moving much faster, intending to get out of here as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as they imagined, and the bandits of the Blue Wolf Village surrounded the Ferry Chamber of Commerce as if they had been waiting here for a long time.
"Shopkeeper Sun, we meet again! Do you miss your old friends? You haven't forgotten the rules, have you? A stout man said with a large knife on his shoulder.
"Zhong He, it's you again! Why do you have to get along with our Ferry Chamber. There should be nothing of value in the goods we shipped this time, and it is worth your personal departure, right? Shopkeeper Sun asked angrily.
"Look at what you're saying! What do you mean you can't get by? I'm just greeting an old friend, I heard that you picked up an extra batch of fine wine on the way, aren't you going to share it with us? Zhong He stretched out a big hand and said.
"How do you know about this? This is obviously a secret of our Chamber of Commerce. Hearing Zhong He's words, Shopkeeper Sun's expression changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice.
Shopkeeper Sun did not doubt the other party's news, because since they said this matter, it means that they already have an exact source.
"Haha, you have to ask your good team members, thanks to his intelligence, otherwise we would have almost missed these fine wines." Zhong He said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Sun clenched his hands tightly, and then let go weakly. Unexpectedly, I thought that the rest of these people were all members who were willing to share the hardships with the Ferry Chamber of Commerce, but I didn't expect that someone would leak the news in the end.
"How? Have you thought about it? Are you going to hand it over yourself, or am I going to kill you all and get the goods myself? Zhong He asked urgingly.
"We ...... Delivery! Shopkeeper Sun said these words with difficulty, and then sat down on the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
