Wu Xingle turned his horse's head and was about to turn back, but Bagen was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed the reins and said, "It's not too late to listen to me before leaving!"

Wu Xing brushed away Bagen's hand, made a gesture of please, and waited for the following.

"Judging from this map, it seems to have taken a long detour. In fact, we walked two waterways, which would have been faster and cheaper than having traveled by land entirely. Bagen immediately grasped the point, and when he saw that Wu Xing's face softened a little, he continued: "The new monarch of the West Wind Country has vigorously implemented the "Zhangtian Law", and the old four counties have risen a wave of southward immigration. These magnates, landlords, and gentry have a lot of money and families, so they naturally need to find someone to escort the convoy along the way. So some people hired innocent people from the rivers and lakes to temporarily serve as dart masters, and many star monarchs also played cameo roles as guards because of the sophistication between relatives and friends, or because of the rich remuneration. With the skills of the two of us, it's absolutely no problem to join in and mix a bite of rice. ”

Seeing that Wu Xing nodded indispensably, Bagen continued: "Because the two counties of Bashu have been newly divided, it has only been more than ten years. These two counties are mountainous, and because of the continuous war, many stragglers bravely fled into the mountains and became bandits. The local county guard has put a bounty on those well-known copycat bandits......."

Hearing this, Wu Xing naturally understood what Bagen's idea was, it was nothing more than "robbing" the rich and helping the "poor", and then he would eliminate violence and receive a reward by the way. By the time they entered the east from the Han River, the two of them might have saved enough for the shackles of the Star Hall and the food expenses for the first year. Although it is reasonable for an observer to have no chance to give restraints to the teachers of the Star Temple, what if? In case a teacher of the Star Temple is blind and assigns a seat to an auditor, he can't go to thank him with his bare hands, right?

"Isn't there a star monarch among the bandits?" Wu Xing was not worried about the fact that he would eventually encounter a tiger when he went up the mountain, but that he would encounter a vicious tiger as soon as he went up the mountain.

"The vast majority of the Xingjun of Ba and Shu have already submitted to our country, and only a very small number of the remnants of the former dynasties are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, trying in vain to restore the country. Let's just pick those soft persimmons in the bounty and pinch them!" Bagen said: "What's more, the new monarch has issued the "Military Tun Order" in the whole territory of the two counties of Bashu, as long as those bandits are willing to come down from the mountains to be good citizens, they will give them a piece of military tun field, and after three years of continuous cultivation, they can get a free body and can be naturalized locally. The two of us will only be punished when the time comes, and the rest of the thieves will know that there is such a "Military Tun Order", and it is estimated that they will fall in the wind. The combat power of those bandits is not even as good as the ordinary soldiers of the barbarians, and dozens of bandits are not difficult for the two of us. ”

"Besides, it's less than three months before the Star Hall Outer House lecture begins. Bagen put away the animal skin, took out a northland horse, and said: "This time is enough for us to walk back and forth from White Horse Town to Gyeonggi Inner History, and the time is actually very abundant." ”

"Well, anyway, if you are aware of the people's feelings, there is not much difference between east and south. Wu Xing muttered, and then changed his outfit from a pack horse to one of the Northland horses, and the pack horse was really used as a pack horse.

The Northland horses were very well equipped, with a saber, several short-handled throwing guns, lasso, a single marching tent, water bladders, bags of dry food, etc., well, except that they were not entangled.

"Isn't there a stone fat oil can?" Wu Xing found something familiar in the pouch of the throwing gun.

"I have a can here, too. The stone grease is used for emergency purposes, and when necessary, it can even be used as wolf smoke, which is combined to block the length and length of the rising black smoke, which is equivalent to a special communication signal between the two of us. Bagen simply agreed on a set of wolf smoke signals, and then he and Wu Xing turned their horses around and headed south.

"Eh! I seem to have a few copper plates here! It must be that my mother-in-law didn't clean them up when I changed my clothes last time!"

"Confiscation!"

......

"The two heroes, please show some kung fu, so that it is convenient to set the corresponding remuneration. A man with a beard said as he unhurriedly polished the ink on the wooden table.

Bagen answered, took out the saber, played two knife flowers, and then put the knife back into its sheath.

In this open space next to the convoy, more than a dozen people from the rivers and lakes formed a half-circle, looking at each other, and they couldn't see where the two swords were played well.

"Is this little brother together? The bookkeeper looked at Wu Xing and had already stopped the ink ingot in his hand.

Wu Xing gestured to Ba Gen's chin and said, "Let's have a fixed step pusher for the two of us." ”

The so-called fixed-step push hand is that the front feet of the two people are against each other, the arms of the two people are together, pushing and pulling each other, and the cycle is repeated, commonly known as "playing the wheel", as if pushing a small stone mill. This push is just a way to check the boxing of people who practice martial arts, and people with shallow skills are often pushed back a few steps backwards by the opponent's sudden force. This kind of kung fu is ostensibly a pusher, but inside it is a technique that Wu Xing has comprehended from the process of breaking the seal in the White Horse Stele Forest, but Wu Xing's current strength is not enough to comprehend the subtlety.

However, Wu Xing and Bagen pushed each other so very friendly, and then ....... He closed his momentum and made a four-way gesture towards everyone.

"The number of recruits today is full, please go back to the two heroes. "The tent man was good-natured, and gave a staircase for the two brothers to go down, so as not to continue to be embarrassed. It's clear that the recruitment of guards has just begun, and the roster is still blank.

"Heroes, the number of recruits today is full, please go back. An energetic old man lifted the curtain of the temporary enclosure, walked out, clasped his fists and saluted the dozen or so people in the rivers and lakes, and then signaled to let a subordinate send some food and chat to those people in the rivers and lakes to apologize.

At this point, those Jianghu people and Mr. Tent believed that it was the two brothers who were "embroidered with fists" who were suddenly recruited.

After the irrelevant people left, the old man saluted again with his fists and said, "Please show the guide or relevant certificates." ”

Mr. Tent saw that the note at the bottom of the Bagan Road quote reads, "Beheading at the twelfth level above the battlefield...... At the beginning of this year, the barbarian Kou Bian beheaded the barbarian seventh", secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and copied the text on the road guide to the booklet in a regular manner.

On Wu Xing's side, it was much simpler, and what he directly showed was a bronze medal with a tiger head. And the old man's method of checking the authenticity of the bronze medal is also very simple, directly turn the tiger head bronze medal sideways to the sun three or two times, and determine it from the change of the outline line above.

"These two items will need to be returned at the time of payment. If you have no objections, please sign the booklet. The old man's attitude has not changed much, and he has obviously already seen that the two brothers are not simple. The two items he mentioned were Bagen's road guide and Wu Xing's tiger head bronze medal.

"Boss, look. The bookkeeper showed the way to the old man, and took the bronze medallion from the latter's hand and placed it on the wooden table.

"I haven't asked the old man for his name. Wu Xing bowed and said, he had a good impression of this graceful and generous old man, plus he was about to become someone's guard, and he always knew how to call the owner.

"The surname is Zheng, and the single name is clumsy. The two of you can call me Mr. Zheng. The old man may like Wu Xingqian's low-key personality very much, and he has vaguely used the tone and title of the elder to the junior.

"Master Zheng Zhuo, it looks like an official master!" Wu Xing suddenly straightened up and asked, "I heard that there is a counselor in the history of Gyeonggi....... I don't know what the relationship is with Master Zheng Zhuo?"

The tent man silently packed up the things on the table and retreated to the back, and two middle-aged bearded men came out from behind the curtain, standing beside Zheng Zhuo on the left and right, without making a sound, but with their own momentum.

It's just that, judging from the crystal jade pendant hanging from the waist of one of them, ninety percent of them are also a star monarch, and the grade must not be low.

"I've been at home for years, and I'm no longer a counselor. Zheng Zhuo said indifferently, pointed to the road guide and the tiger head bronze medal on the wooden table, and asked: "If there is any inconvenience between the two of you, I can also understand it." Although the escort is only a verbal agreement, it must always be consensual. Are you two going to get it back now?"

"Let's get something to eat first. Wu Xing was unusual, cheeky, in front of Zheng Zhuo and others, and the two of them gobbled up, and ate the ordinary people's cooking cakes in three or two clicks.

And then, even more surprising things are yet to come. After the two of them finished eating the cooking cakes, they took back the bronze medals on the table with Lu Yin and the tiger head, dropped a sentence of "bothered", stepped on the stirrup and left directly.

"Father, are these two people?" said one of the middle-aged men, frowning.

"Probably not, otherwise we should have taken advantage of the crowd just now. The middle-aged man shook his head.

"They should have no ill will. It was only when he heard that the old man reported his home that he suddenly changed his attitude, and naturally it was impossible for those people to send him to stir up the situation. Zheng Zhuo laughed, but he could also see it, and said: "I don't seem to have offended such a young guy in my impression. ”

"Okay, everyone is almost rested, let's continue on our way!" After Zheng Zhuo finished speaking, he got into a carriage in front of the convoy first, and the rest of the work was naturally done by two middle-aged men.
