I squandered my short vacation in Zuoqiu City with nothing to do, and every day, except for wandering around the city, I waited until midnight to practice and eat yin food. But such a leisurely day soon came to an abrupt end. On the eighth day of rest, I was chatting with Tian Laolu in the warehouse of the trading house for a while, when I felt something on my body shaking slightly.

I pulled out the little gossip tray from my pocket, and there was a red dot on the first square of the Xun position that was flashing. I flattened the gossip plate and compared it, and the direction of Xunwei was the dormitory of the trading house. Obviously, this is a signal that the caravan is about to assemble!

So soon there's a new dart mission? Isn't there at least two days off left?

But I still didn't dare to slack off, and after saying something to Tian Laolu, I hurriedly walked to the dormitory. When I got there, I saw that the rest of the team had basically returned, and they were huddled in the dormitory to have a lively discussion.

Hey, but it's weird!

originally thought that the early return to the team vacation was shortened, and everyone estimated that there would be complaints again. As a result, these people seem to be very happy, talking and laughing, and their morale is high, is there anything good going on?

I found the bird meat and asked him where was Buye?

Bird Meat said: "Bu Ye is still on the side of the city guard barracks, and he asked me to gather you back first." ”

"Guards? What is Bu Ye going to do over there? ”

Bird meat really didn't last five minutes, so he covered his mouth and smiled cheaply: "Let's be lucky this time, we have a good errand!" It's absolutely safe, just think you're part of a 'tour of the underworld'! Hehe, there are also beautiful women on the road! ”

"Where did the beauty come from?" I'm getting more and more confused.

"The beauties of the Shengyang Gang!"

"They? But what the hell is going on, can you finish it all at once! I reprimanded him angrily.

It turned out that the inside information that Cao Zhe told me a few days ago was true!

Zuoqiu City has indeed formed an alliance with Crystal City, and as the first aid to fulfill the alliance agreement is about to be dispatched, a team of the City Guards will escort two hundred ghost slaves and some supplies to Crystal City immediately.

The Teng family originally planned to send a caravan to Crystal City in the near future, and after receiving this news, Teng Boli won the opportunity to accompany the escort team through Yin Fa's connections. At this time, a super mixed formation of half officials and half business was formed, and the escort ability was super strong.

No wonder Bird Meat said that this caravan mission is absolutely safe, more than 20 Yin cultivators plus 200 ghost slaves, even if you encounter any threats such as ghost bandits and monsters on the road, you can completely ignore them!

As for having a beautiful woman with him, hey, it is estimated that it is purely the bird's own obscenity, and those female city guards are too lazy to pay attention to him!

Happy to happy, everyone still quickly packed their backpacks. The profession of a caravan dart master is to adapt to this kind of life without a fixed place and on call, and everyone's big backpack is basically all their belongings.

As soon as he finished packing his things, Bu Ye came back. He didn't explain much to us, but simply explained the destination of the mission and confirmed the news that he would be traveling with the material escort team. Then he urged us to hurry to the cattle pen and take out 20 large snails, and then go directly to the warehouse to load the goods.

After that, things became inexplicably tense and urgent. Our dozen or so dart masters and guys couldn't take care of the twenty big snails, and Bu Ye went to Teng Boli to temporarily bring five guys into a team of six to bring cattle and load goods together. It was busy until the end of the day, and everyone gathered again after a hasty dinner.

This time, I can't wait for tomorrow morning, the caravan is planning to leave overnight!

There's one more thing to do before you go, though. That is the problem of gathering the whole team with the escort team and discussing how to mix into a team.

The meeting place is right in the square of the lower town. The escort team is indeed faster than us, and all the big snails, goods, and ghost slaves have been counted, and they are lined up in order, just waiting for us to meet.

This time, the Guards sent a squad consisting of ten members plus a squad leader, including six men and five women. It can be seen that another important reason for agreeing to the merger of the Teng family's caravan is to save manpower, otherwise it would be impossible for these eleven people to escort the materials on the backs of two hundred ghost slaves and thirty big snails.

With the addition of a representative of the Crystal City, the total number of people in this mixed formation reached thirty, the number of ghost servants and ghost slaves totaled two hundred and forty-nine, fifty large snails, and the total weight of the cargo on the back also reached ten tons!

After everyone gathered and stood in line, Bu Ye spoke a few words briefly, which were nothing more than some disciplines and rules that everyone needed to abide by on the road. He is the old team leader, and he must be the one who leads the way in front this time.

There was also a squad leader of the city guard standing beside Bu Ye, but he didn't say a word. The discipline of the guards is very strict, and these rules on the march do not need to be repeated. However, my eyes were more focused on the squad leader's neck.

Hey! This time, the captain of the team sent by the city guard team to lead the team is actually the female city guard who saved me twice and always likes to tie a red silk scarf around her neck: Liu Han!

However, this time she was still wearing a mask, and her eyes were cold and hidden. Cao Zhe said that she is a beauty, but why are beauties always afraid to show their true faces?

While I was standing in the middle of the team, Bu Ye was polite to her, and finally agreed on the specific arrangement of this mixed formation. At the head of the formation, Bu Ye led the team, and half of the city guards followed him in the front line. The caravan, the ghost slaves, and the supplies were all crammed in the middle, and we, the dart masters and men, were in charge of guarding and maintaining the formation. The remaining half of the city guards were led by Liu Han himself, and after the team was broken.

This kind of formation can not only give full play to Buye's ability to lead the team, but also ensure the absolute safety of the tail of the team. As Totori said before, we were placed in the middle of the line, just like tourists accompanying the tour!

From Zuoqiu City to Crystal City, this long journey along the way, it stands to reason that you can put away all the ghost slaves and bring them over. But those ghost slaves are powerful characters, and as an additional condition of agreeing to swear allegiance to Crystal City, they are determined not to be put into any kind of storage items such as clay pots, preferring to follow us all the way.

The high-level ghost slaves who serve as the army are different from the low-level ghost slaves who are dragged to collect Yin Yuan, and if you want to gain their loyalty and make them work for you, you have to negotiate the conditions in advance, and you can't just rely on insults and whipping. Because the number of Yin cultivators in Crystal City is not as large as that of Zuoqiu City, it has to rely more on ghost slave guards, so it attaches great importance to this.

These ghost slaves who were sold to Crystal City all got the promise of Crystal City, and if they performed well in the new Yin City, they could be released from slavery and become citizens of Crystal City as free ghosts. Therefore, in order to be treated better than in Zuoqiu City, it is unlikely that they will escape halfway, and if necessary, they may also be able to assist the escort team against various attacks.

So the guards all wrapped their necks around their necks and strung them in long chains, walking in three rows side by side in the procession. But even so, coupled with the Yin cultivation of fifty big snails and guards, the length of this mighty team was more than two hundred meters, and the distance between the head and the tail was about half a mile.

It's time for the team to finish, and the curfew is about to begin. But the special team is to be dispatched at a special time, and they can't wait for tomorrow morning, but they have to go out of the city overnight.

Bu Ye was still sitting on the back of the old snail at the front, waving his hand and shouting, "Let's go!" ”

Such a rare and large procession also provoked the people and ghosts in the city to stop and watch, point and speculate. The fact that Zuoqiu City and Crystal City had formed an alliance was also made public at this moment, reassuring people's hearts.

The second time I embarked on a journey to the outer Yin City, my curiosity was not as nervous and excited as the first time, and I no longer made a fuss when I passed through the Numen and Yin Veins. Along the way, because of the large number of people and ghosts, it was almost impossible for Bu Ye to enforce the set of "silence orders" he was used to, so he simply ignored it. Anyway, the team is large enough, so they simply do the opposite, with great fanfare and noise.

As a result, things are more and more as predicted by the birds, and everyone is like going out for hiking and sightseeing, walking slowly and leisurely, chatting and relieving boredom from time to time, giggling and laughing, and happy. Even those ghost slaves are no longer bitter, but feel like they are heading for a bright future.

However, the benefits of such a team are also obvious. Along the way, there was hardly anything that dared to disturb us, and occasionally we came across some small monsters that were not long-eyed and came to seek death, and either we quickly ran away, or it turned into our dinner.

When it was time to eat, I had a headache.

There are too many people and ghosts on this trip, and I can't handle all the meals by myself, so I asked Bu Ye and Liu Han for someone to help cook. Liu Han should have recognized me by this time, but this time her attitude was not as arrogant as the previous two times, and she even agreed to send two female city guards to help me.

None of them wore masks, but they all looked average, and they didn't like to talk when they were working together, and they didn't even want to look at me. I feel very embarrassed, although I don't have much interest in them, but my brother is a little fresh meat, how can he ignore my existence so much?

However, my craftsmanship was unanimously recognized by them, and even Liu Han seemed to be very satisfied. After a few pairs, the two female city guards who came to help the kitchen also began to be willing to take the initiative to talk to me, and one of them was caught by me secretly targeting me a few times.

Well, that's a normal reaction! It seems that a man must not only be handsome, but also have cooking skills!
