"If there are no other problems, then let's go, shall we?"

After a brief exchange, An Xu spoke, and he was now in a hurry to complete this commission.

Ouyang Qingxue also wanted to find the lost property as soon as possible, and there was no objection, the three of them came to the outside of the mercenary hall, An Xu recalled Chiyun, and looked at the two women on the side: "You can ride a horse, right?" ”

"I won't, but my sister will, and she'll take me with me!" Ouyang Wenwen stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly.

An Xu put his mind at ease, what he was most worried about was that these two women would not be able to ride horses, and if they rushed over in other ways, they would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

It was obvious that Ouyang Qingxue also had his own mount, it was a snow-white horse, but it was much shorter than Chiyun, and when the two horses moved forward together, Baima showed a little fear of Chiyun, and did not dare to step forward after Chiyun.

"Mr. Anxu's horse pedigree is noble, isn't it?" Ouyang Qingxue's eyes flashed with surprise, his white horse was also a rare breed, and it was the first time he had seen it like this.

"It's alright!" An Xu didn't say much, and changed the topic: "As far as I know, your Ouyang family is also a big family, there must be a lot of powerful guards, right?" Why go to the mercenary hall to entrust it? ”

"It seems that you have a misunderstanding, our Ouyang family is a merchant family, but it has a certain influence in business, but there is nothing real master, and this line has always been peaceful, I didn't bring any guards this time, I didn't expect to meet a large number of bandits!" Ouyang Qingxue explained.

Ouyang Wenwen said in her arms: "Yes, and due to the war, most of our people in the Chamber of Commerce in Hidden Moon City have been withdrawn, so we can only ask mercenaries for help." ”

"Oh! I don't know if it's convenient to tell Miss Qingxue what she needs to look for? An Xu asked, if it was expensive, it was likely to be taken away by the bandits, and it was quite troublesome to track down these guys.

Ouyang Qingxue said: "It's not a valuable, it's just a relic of the elders in the family, it's very important to me, it doesn't matter if those goods are lost, but this relic must be taken back." ”

An Xu had a bottom in his heart, did not speak again, and hurried forward intently.

The road was not particularly peaceful, and from time to time you could see a few people in ragged clothes and hungry faces, all of whom were refugees who had fled from the front lines, and would gather around and beg when they saw An Xu passing by.

In the face of these refugees, An Xu didn't have a very good way, they were all poor people, and they couldn't knock them all to the ground by force, but when Ouyang Qingxue saw this situation, he would give a small amount of money, and most of these refugees showed gratitude and got out of the way.

Of course, there are inevitably some people who are insatiable and greedy, An Xu will throw them all into the woods one by one, these ordinary people who have no ability to fight are like chickens in front of An Xu.

"There have been more and more refugees recently, and I don't know when the war will end!" Ouyang Qingxue sighed.

Ouyang Wenwen echoed: "Yes, I miss my life in school, and I don't know how Teacher Birou is doing!" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I just met them a few days ago, and they are in White Jade City now!" An Xu comforted.

"Really? That's great! Ouyang Wenwen said happily that her favorite in school is Teacher Birou.

"It's almost there!" Ouyang Qingxue said suddenly.

On the side of the road, there are several carriages lying upside down, the goods transported on them have been snatched away, only a mess is left, a few refugees are rummaging around, trying to find something useful from it, seeing An Xu and his party, they directly avoided from a distance, worried that An Xu would find them trouble.

An Xu frowned, if it was robbed by other bandits, it would be fine, but if it was picked up by refugees on the road, it would be too difficult to find it.

Ouyang Qingxue also dismounted, searched carefully for a while, and showed a frustrated look on his face: "It's not here anymore, it's a purple wood carving pen, it's easy to find." ”

"Then let's find the bandits first, maybe they picked them up." An Xu opened his mouth and said, if it is really a very conspicuous object as Ouyang Qingxue said, then there is a great chance of being picked up by the bandits.

"Can you find them?" Ouyang Qingxue swelled with hope.

"Not sure! But some clues should be found. An Xu turned over and dismounted, and began to check the ground around, the bandits are not a well-trained army, and they certainly don't know how to hide their whereabouts.

If Ivan and Doudou were here, they might soon be able to track down this gang of bandits, both of them were experts in tracking the direction of the target, and An Xu was a little worse, but he also had a lot of experience.

The footprints on the ground were messy, and it was obvious that there were a lot of people on the other side, and because of the heavy snow during this time, these traces were particularly obvious, which was conducive to tracking.

An Xu picked up a few small leaves on the ground, put them under his nose and smelled them, a rich fragrance hit his nostrils, and he asked, "The goods you are transporting are spices?" ”

"Yes, it's all packed in big wooden boxes!" Ouyang Qingxue nodded.

"That should be fine, let's go!" An Xu nodded, and led Chiyun into the mountains and fields on the side, this kind of scattered goods is difficult to carry, and some will be scattered along the way, which reduces the difficulty of tracking.

What's more, the snow here is not thick, and if you step on it, the footprints will exist for a long time, unless the other party deliberately makes an illusion, but An Xu believes that these bandits do not have that kind of technology.

Traced all the way to the deep mountains, until through a forest, only encountered a little trouble, the footprints here are very shallow, not easy to find, but An Xu relied on rich experience, or quickly tracked the whereabouts of the other party.

After walking for more than an hour, I found a simple wooden village in the deep mountains, which was also the end of this journey.

"This is it!" An Xu raised his head and looked at it, the timber of several buildings was still very new, it should have not been built for a long time, and there were no sentry posts and defenses, as An Xu thought, this was just a group of wandering bandits.

"Will it be dangerous? Why don't we go back first, and I'll ask the city guards of Hidden Moon City for help." Ouyang Qingxue said worriedly, looking at the scale of the wooden village, there were probably dozens of people inside.

"No, you guys are waiting here, I'll go up and negotiate, the bottom line is to get your purple wood pen back, right?" An Xu asked.

He was also calculating in his heart, if he just found these bandits, he was afraid that the experience points he would get would be pitiful, so he would forcibly add some difficulty to himself!

"Hmm!" Ouyang Qingxue nodded and said, "Those goods can be dispensed with, they are not worth a few dollars anyway!" ”

An Xu walked straight forward and knocked on the door of the village in a bright way, and the huge impact sound made a burst of chickens and dogs jumping inside, and being a thief is to describe such a scene.

"Who?" A rude voice sounded from inside, and it seemed that someone was climbing up the ladder.

"Friend, you took something you shouldn't have taken, and now you've been found at the door, I think you should return it, so as not to hurt the peace!" An Xulang said.

The bandits were terrified to hear this, it was the first time they had attacked a passing caravan since they had fled here, and they did not expect to be found so quickly.

A middle-aged man with a beard poked his head out of the gate of the village, glanced out weakly, and found that An Xu was the only one, and instantly became confident again, and shouted: "Haha, it turns out that you are just a hairy boy who has not dried up, and you look like a mercenary, are you impatient, dare to take care of grandpa's affairs." ”

An Xu was not angry, and said loudly: "You can take the goods in the car, but there is a purple wood pen among them, which is very important to my employer, and I hope you can return it!" ”

"Yo, it turns out that I brought two little beauties!" The middle-aged man also found the Ouyang sisters in the rear at this time, and there was a ** light in his eyes, and he shouted: "Brothers, we are lucky, two more beauties have been sent to the door in person!" ”

An Xu's eyes froze, and he originally thought that if it was just a group of refugees who were forced by life and had to fall into the grass, it would be good to turn a blind eye and get back the employer's belongings, but looking at this situation, it is clear that they are a group of ruthless and vicious people, and I don't know how many innocent people have been hurt!

"Finally, give you a chance, hand over your things or die!" An Xu said coldly.

A man with narrow eyes climbed up to the gate of the village and said sarcastically: "You are quite young, but your tone is quite big, do you think you are a sword master?" ”

An Xu laughed angrily, and directly slapped his palm on the wooden gate, the gate was shattered in an instant, and the two thieves who climbed on the door also fell to the ground, falling into a mouth full of mud.

"With your kind of goods, you are also worthy of mentioning the name of the Sword Master?"
