Zuo Feng, lurking in the grass, frowned, and he saw a few strange places about the caravan in front of him.

First of all, why this caravan is here is the biggest question. It is located on the outskirts of the Tianping Mountains, although it is also possible to go to Yancheng or leave the Yelin Empire. But this place is most suitable for hunting wild beasts and gathering medicinal herbs, if the caravan chooses to go elsewhere from here, it is undoubtedly not a good choice in terms of safety and route, which is what makes Zuo Feng feel the most puzzled.

What also made Zuo Feng suspicious was that there were several female members of the team, and the caravan usually transported goods from one place to another for trading. In this process, there are not only wild beasts, but more often they will pass through those many bandit territories, and if there is a slight situation that cannot be discussed, it will be a life-and-death struggle.

If there are too many female members, there will undoubtedly be no improvement in combat effectiveness, but sometimes it will become a drag on the team, and even cause some unnecessary trouble for the team.

In addition, the team was stationed in this forest, and it didn't look like they were in a hurry, but more like they were going to camp here for a long time, so many doubts made Zuo Feng pay special attention to this caravan. Gently moved his body towards the edge of the camp, at the moment the people in the camp were talking about something, because of the distance was a little too far to hear what these people were talking about.

Zuo Feng had to move forward again, but as soon as he moved his body a little forward, Zuo Feng felt as if he had touched something on his leg.

"Jingle ......"

"What people. ”

Suddenly, a crisp bell sounded, and I cursed in my heart, 'Damn, it's careless again.'" Then I heard the shouts of someone in the camp, and then several figures rushed towards this side like flying.

I was annoyed that I had put myself in danger by thinking about it again, and it was common sense that such a caravan would not be so troublesome during the day, and prepare a protective bell around the camp. He had just noticed the strangeness of the caravan, but he still didn't pay much attention and touched the bell so easily.

"I'm sorry guys, I don't mean anything malicious. Zuo Feng walked out of the grass hard, in fact, he didn't want to leave immediately, but the injury on his leg had not healed yet.

Now that they are so close, there are obviously strong people in the tempering stage among those people. His important bags were left on the big tree where he had rested before, so he hesitated for a moment and decided to give up running away to see the situation before thinking about the next step.

Three sturdy middle-aged men quickly appeared in front of Zuo Feng, who had just stood up, and looked up and down the young man in front of him with unkind faces. The first big man had a pair of small eyes, and his appearance gave people a strange feeling of a rat's head on the body of a human race, looking at the speed and body of this man just now, it should be in the tempering period, but the specific level of Zuo Feng is not visible, although these people are all dressed in businessman-like robes, but Zuo Feng has an indescribable awkward feeling.

"Boy, what are you doing?" the rat-faced man asked with a fierce look.

"I'm a villager in this neighborhood, I went here to collect medicine, and when I saw someone here, I wanted to come over and take a look, and I didn't want to disturb the uncles. I'm so sorry, I'll leave. Zuo Feng replied with a look of sincere fear, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait, little one, are you a villager from around here?" the big man asked.

"Shenjia Village. Zuo Feng didn't dare to casually mention that he was from Zuojia Village at this time, and wanted to make up a village casually to perfunctory past, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, he suddenly changed his mouth and said that he was from Shenjia Village.

"Shenjia Village, Shenjia Village is not ......" The rat-faced man was a little stunned when he heard Zuo Feng's answer, and wanted to ask again. But halfway through the words, he realized that something was wrong, so he immediately stopped what was on his lips.

Zuo Feng's heart moved, and sure enough, as he had guessed, this group of so-called businessmen was definitely not that simple, and they actually knew about the slaughter of Shenjia Village not long ago.

At this time, he also thought about why he felt that the few people in front of him looked a little awkward, that is, normal caravans inevitably have shippers among them, and these shippers are generally authentic merchants, and it is normal to wear long robes. But the people in front of him were all wearing long robes, and they didn't look like the owner of the goods but more like guards, so Zuo Fengchu couldn't help but feel a little awkward when he saw a few people.

"A few uncles think that they often do business here, and they must know that our Shenjia Village suffered a catastrophe some time ago. I originally wanted to defect to the nearby Zuojia Village, but later I heard that Zuojia Village was also slaughtered. I wanted to go to Yancheng to settle down, but I didn't have much money, so I had to collect some medicinal materials in this mountain and sell them, and then find a way to settle in Yancheng. ”

Zuo Feng's mind was spinning fast, since this group of people knew so much about the affairs of this place, then he didn't dare to make it up. Without waiting for them to ask, he took the initiative to say with sincere fear. He interspersed a well-known sentence between his few lies, which sounded like the truth.

The rat-faced man stared at Zuo Feng carefully for a long time, and his small eyes like rats kept turning, making Zuo Feng's heart hairy. The person in front of him gave Zuo Feng a very bad feeling, a simple disgust that he couldn't explain why.

After thinking for a while, the rat-faced man suddenly put on a kind smile, and said politely to Zuo Feng: "Little brother, we are also passing by here, and we are not too familiar with the road. Since you need money, then you lead the way for us, and we can pay fifty copper coins as a reward, you see how it goes. ”

After saying that, the rat-faced man stared at Zuo Feng to see his reaction, and the two companions beside him obviously didn't understand what the rat-faced man's intentions were. But he didn't say anything, but frowned and glanced at the mouse-faced man, and then followed his example to observe how Zuo Feng reacted.

Zuo Feng secretly complained in his heart at this time, he had something to do, and now he was in a hurry to return to Yancheng. As for the secrets of the gang of bandits that he has learned so far, plus the participation of the group of gray-clothed people "Yin Group" to which the Fengtian Dynasty belongs. In such a chaotic situation, he had to inform Uncle Tian of the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, which was his top priority.

But the situation in front of him couldn't help but agree, not to mention the group of warriors in the camp, but I am afraid that these people in front of him are not something he can deal with.

Suddenly, I remembered the forces I had just mentioned, and there was a key one of them. It was the part of the bandit gang that escaped, and in this moment he connected that gang with the strange caravan in front of him.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng didn't hesitate anymore, pretended to be open-eyed, rubbed his hands and said: "Since you can serve a few masters, and you can still get paid, the kid is very willing." ”

Seeing that Zuo Feng agreed, the rat-faced man didn't say much else, nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal Zuo Feng to follow her. The other two warriors didn't say much, but they separated the left and right, intentionally or unintentionally, sandwiching Zuo Feng in the middle. seemed to be very enthusiastic about inviting him into the camp together, but Zuo Feng could see that they were actually guarding against him.

Seeing this, Zuo Feng was even more vigilant in his heart, but he still pretended to be happy that he would be able to make money immediately, and followed the three of them towards the camp.

Entering the camp, Zuo Feng confirmed his previous guess even more, although there were several large boxes in the camp that seemed to be full of goods, the number of boxes was too scarce. Unless these boxes are full of precious medicinal materials, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to sell for much money with just a few boxes of goods.

The people in the camp were busy making lunch at this time, and several women were resting on one side of the camp. If it was a normal caravan, they should have left the work of cooking to them, but the women in front of them were like caravan leaders, chatting around the camp.

Several women frowned slightly when they saw the rat-faced man coming back with Zuo Feng, and the rat-faced man immediately ran over very respectfully and whispered a few words to one of the older women. The woman seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and sat down again to continue the small talk.

Left Wind was placed in the middle of the camp, where anyone around could see his every move. This arrangement is like watching prisoners, but it also has the advantage of Zuo Feng, that is, he can also observe everything in the camp.

After lunch, the people in the camp didn't seem to have any intention of hurrying. This was also expected by Zuo Feng, although he was anxious in his heart, he pretended to have nothing to do on the surface.

In a short time, a girl took the initiative to chat with Zuo Feng, and he also guessed that the other party had not fully believed him, so he sent someone over to test his details. He is not an ordinary teenager who doesn't understand, he naturally knows how to deal with it, and pretends to be an ignorant stupid boy in a mountain village.

"What's your name?" the girl was obviously feigned with enthusiasm.

Zuo Feng couldn't even see his original appearance at this time, and with the tossing in the cottage, the clothes on his body were even dirtier and torn. Although the girl pretended to be very enthusiastic, she still sat at a distance from Zuo Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing the girl's actions, Zuo Feng felt funny in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be sincerely frightened and replied: "My name is Shen Feng, and I am originally from Shenjia Village. As he spoke, he moved towards the girl, intentionally or unintentionally.

Realizing that the dirty boy in front of her was leaning over, the girl immediately dodged back with a look of disgust, but suddenly realized that this kind of behavior was not very good, so she forced herself to sit in place and did not move.

"Your Shenjia Village seems to be not far to the west of Yancheng. The girl smiled again, and continued to ask as if chatting casually.

"Miss, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, our Shenjia Village was in the southeast of Yancheng before it was robbed, and it shouldn't be close to Yancheng for more than a day, to say the least. Zuo Feng seemed to remember the destruction of his home, and whispered a little abruptly.

"Oh, that's probably my mistake, and I've heard from my uncles that it's actually my first time here. ”

"Haven't asked Miss for your name yet?" Zuo Feng asked casually.

The woman was slightly stunned, obviously unprepared for this question, and after thinking about it, she said, "My family calls me Qing'er, so you can call me Qing'er." The girl hesitated and said.

Zuo Feng nodded slightly, it seems that this name was also made up by her just now, Zuo Feng continued to wait for the girl to speak indifferently. At the same time, I was thinking in my heart, 'Since I want to come to the cliché, then I'll see who you suspect I am', [This book was first published from 17k, the first time to see the genuine content!]
