After the first batch of 200 ghost slaves arrived in Crystal City, the city's defense force was significantly strengthened, which also made the people in the city who had been worried a little relieved. After the next few batches of ghost slaves and aid materials all arrive, it is estimated that even if the ghost army really calls, they will have to weigh whether they can gnaw on this hard bone.

However, because it was too hot in Crystal City, those of us from outside Yin City couldn't stand it, and after a brief rest for two days, Bu Ye contacted Liu Han, and the two teams merged together again to return to Zuoqiu City.

The return journey was also smooth, and since there were no large groups of ghost slaves to slow down the pace, the speed of our march was greatly accelerated, but there was no longer the "sightseeing" atmosphere that we had come.

As for me, I had to face another kind of awkward situation.

Every night when he stopped to set up a pot to cook, Liu Han still sent Xiao Yu and another female city guard to help cook. I felt very awkward because I had already made a fool of myself because of this, but it was not good to propose to Liu Han that someone else come over. The most annoying thing is that Xiao Yu still secretly glances at me from time to time when he is helping the cook, which is simply deliberately teasing me!

In order to avoid suspicion, I tried not to visit her, lest there be any unpleasant misunderstanding.

There is also that hateful Liu Han, when she saw me again, she actually walked over without even looking at me, with a proud expression, eyes above the top, and very contempt. This attitude of hers makes me really hate it!

But hate to hate, I can't beat her, so I can only hold this breath. According to Bird Meat, the Yin cultivation who can be the captain of the city guard squad is at least the fourth level of cultivation, and her martial arts are also very exquisite, but she is not easy to mess with, she is a well-known tigress!

"The only way you can get revenge is to use your brains to the fullest!" "Anyway, you don't have anything to do when you usually walk, you can use your imagination to turn her over in your head, turn her over, come from the front, come from the back, let her be on top or below, whatever posture you choose, absolutely 100 percent!" Definitely get rid of hatred! ”

"Get out!" I spat on him, showing disdain.

Bird meat is simply crazy to marry a wife, all kinds of lust all day long, and likes to harm and bring harm to others. In Kong Jian's words: "If you open the head of the bird meat and take a look, you will definitely find that he is even ** yellow!" ”

The speed of the march increased, and the time spent on the road was greatly reduced, and it took us only eighteen days to return to Zuoqiu City, seven days faster than when we came. But at the last moment, something happened that made me cry and laugh!

The night before arriving in Zuoqiu City, that is, after the last cooking help, Xiao Yu actually secretly stuffed me with a piece of ice jade while he was scrubbing the cooking utensils with me. Ice jade is cold and lubricated in the hand, it is a kind of accessory that Yin Xiu likes, although it is not very useful, but it feels very comfortable in his hands after rubbing it a few times in his spare time.

"This is ......" I was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

"Shh

Xiao Yu looked left and right, and whispered to me: "Put it away quickly, don't let others see it!" ”

I didn't know why, but I couldn't refute her face, so I had to stuff it into my trouser pocket as she said. The two of them continued to wash and scrub in silence.

After washing the cooking utensils, Xiao Yu said softly before leaving: "This is my apology to you, I hope ...... There will be a chance to meet in the future......"

With that, she blushed slightly and trotted away. I was left standing there like a chicken.

"What's the situation? Didn't she complain to Liu Han that I was spying on her? Why are you sending me another piece of ice jade now, what does it mean? ”

I smiled wryly and took out the round piece of ice jade, which still had a faint hint of a woman's fragrance on it. That's kind of ...... Something in love?

"Really?" I scratched my head, thought for a moment, and then seemed to guess something: "Oh, I see! It should be that when she was peeking at me before, she was discovered by another female city guard and told Liu Han. Xiao Yu had no choice but to deduce that I was peeping at her, maybe she was afraid that she would be punished by the Shengyang Gang because she moved her spring heart! ”

Hey, what an ambiguous misunderstanding! I was beaten for nothing, and I made a big fool!

In any case, the matter has passed, and the ugliness that should not have been made has come out, and it is impossible for me to pursue this kind of thing anymore. I really don't have any feelings for Xiao Yu, alas, I hope there won't be a chance to meet next time! Don't get even more embarrassed!

After returning to Zuoqiu City, the tasks of the caravan and the escort team were completed, and they immediately separated and returned to the camp. Bu Ye didn't even give us a chance to shake hands and say goodbye, he directly disbanded the team and arranged a ten-day rest period as usual. I didn't have much to go to, so I started to live a idle life again, waiting until midnight to practice and eat yin food.

For most of the next six months, my life lost its former regularity. Every time I returned to Zuoqiu City to rest for a few days, I had to set off with the caravan again to the outer Yin City, and when I got there, I would rest for two days at most and then return to Zuoqiu City. In this way, when you are busy and tired, you are very tired, and when you are idle, you are very idle and have nothing to do.

The pace of work as a dart master is indeed much harder than working as a chef at a longevity restaurant, but the benefits are also obvious. Follow Bu Ye, the old team leader, to dart, the speed is fast and safe, and the commission is also high. So, I'm almost three times as much income now as I was before!

The vast majority of this money was exchanged for various materials for the meal. During the few days I stayed in Zuoqiu City, I spent the Yin Yuan like money, and ate Yin food every day, and my cultivation could be felt to improve significantly every time I came back to rest. According to this calculation, my Yin Gong breakthrough to the third upper level may be in this half a year!

However, not everything went smoothly. Running a caravan is always accompanied by danger, and even if you have done all your best to be careful, accidents and accidents will still happen when you don't expect them.

Just two months after we completed the mission to Crystal City, Bu Ye took on another dart mission to escort the ghost slave. It's just that this mission is not to transport the Teng family's own goods, but an ordinary commercial transaction entrustment, and there is no city guard to accompany it, so we rely on a few of our dart masters to escort the whole process.

The Yin City we are going to is the Ghost Farm. The specific arrangement is to escort a group of ghost slaves from Zuoqiu City first, and then transport a batch of livestock back from there after arriving. Since we didn't need to transport too much cargo this time, we only brought three large snails with us, one of which was Buye's special mount: the old snail, and the other two carried our baggage and rations. Other than that, the other people's task is mainly to take care of the accompanying ghost slaves.

This time, it was just fifty ordinary ghost slaves, and it stands to reason that they could be brought all the way in jars. But this time, the customer is also very sincere, and resolutely refuses to do this, but insists on letting the ghost slave follow all the way!

Of course, he has good reasons. Ghosts are accustomed to living in an environment with yin qi for a long time, and if they are kept in jars, coupled with the prohibition of sealing stickers, they will lose their grievances over time, resulting in a decrease in level. This is invisibly equivalent to a loss of value.

Bu Ye had communicated with this master surnamed Wan a few times on this issue (he was the master in charge of compradors in the ghost farm), but it was useless. They are the patrons of the caravan that hired us, and if he insists on it, then we really can't help it.

The reason why Bu Ye would oppose such an arrangement is also very simple. Unlike the last Crystal City, all the ghost farms use ghost slaves as labor, just like the North American plantations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the exploitation and oppression of ghost slaves is very powerful, but the object of exploitation there has become a ghost.

Therefore, every ghost slave in Zuoqiu City was especially afraid of being sold to the ghost farm. This also brings a lot of difficulties to the escort on the way, in case these ghost slaves have the idea of escaping, it will be troublesome!

After much discussion, Master Wan finally gave in. He bought a large vase specially used to hold ghosts, and he could put all fifty ghost slaves into this large vase at one time, and then put a ghost binding charm on the mouth of the bottle to ensure that the ghosts inside could not escape.

The large vase is usually tied to the back of one of the large snails, but it is necessary to rest every two hours. When resting, the master will release the ghost slave inside to breathe.

Although this method is a bit cumbersome, it is really better than escorting so many restless ghost slaves throughout the whole process, right? It was good that Bu Ye could win this, so the caravan began its journey to the ghost farm.

The ghost farm is very far away from Zuoqiu City, and it takes forty days to go on the road to get there, and eighty days to go back and forth, which is much farther than other Yin Cities I have been to before. And because of Master Wan's insistence, the caravan strictly enforces the rule of resting once every two hours, and each time he rests, he must release all the ghost slaves to breathe for a quarter of an hour. In this way, it is difficult for Bu Ye to raise the speed of the march.

The first month was fine, everyone was quite focused, and they usually hurried away when they walked, but when they rested, they felt like they were facing a great enemy. After all, it would be a very troublesome thing for fifty ghost slaves to riot once they rioted!

Thirty days after the journey, everyone was feeling exhausted and their mental focus was declining. Over the past few days, there have been many cases where people have tripped over rocks while walking, or have not been able to observe their side enough and have been attacked by sporadic monsters.

After things like this happened many times, Bu Ye's temper continued to deteriorate, and the number of scolding gradually increased. But this kind of scolding did not help to improve morale, and everyone complained more.
