Chapter 311: Difficulty
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiaoxi said solemnly to me, "Young Master, really... It is said that the hall master is really powerful, and when he raised his hand, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked..."
"Alright... That is to say, the Xiuzhen Hall manages all the Xiuzhen families? Or is it the Xiuzhen Temple that manages this continent? I asked into the creek.
Xiaoxi nodded at me, and then said, "I don't know what it is... However, I heard that this is the case. ”
"With so many people participating, will there be any reward after winning?" I asked into the creek.
Xiaoxi shook her head awkwardly and said, she didn't know...
When I think about it, although Xiaoxi is a cultivator, he is only a small soldier in the Scattered Cultivation Family, and it is not easy to know that it is not easy to cultivate the True Temple.
I didn't say anything more, until the next morning, Old Man Fan appeared with a black face at this time...
Seeing Old Man Fan's appearance, I knew that this matter was not so simple.
When I invited the old man into my room, he saw me smiling and said, "You boy, why are you still smiling?" ”
I looked at the old man and said, "Of course I laugh, why can't I laugh?" ”
"Don't you know you're dying?" The old man looked at me and said.
Hearing the old man's words, I smiled slightly, and then said to him, "Death is coming... Isn't it just to escort some medicinal herbs? Not... Not so much..."
"Why don't you just escort some medicinal herbs?" The old man glanced at me, then said.
"My mother didn't say anything, it shouldn't be too serious." I asked the old man.
"What can Madame say about this?" The old man looked at me and said.
"By the way, Grandpa Fan, you can tell me directly. What the hell is going on here... Yesterday they briefly told me about it, but they didn't say anything. I asked Old Man Fan.
After Old Man Fan heard my words, he said to me, "Do you know how many medicinal materials you want to exercise this time? ”
I looked at Old Man Fan and said, "How much?" ”
"A hundred tons of medicinal herbs." Old man Fan said to me,
"How much?" I asked Old Man Fan.
Old man Fan said to me, "One hundred tons..."
"What's that? So much? I said to Old Man Fan in surprise... Old man Fan nodded slightly at me and didn't say anything.
"Isn't it to go to some practitioners' conference? What to do with so many medicinal herbs? I asked Old Man Fan.
Old Man Fan said to me, "That's right, it's true that the cultivator conference is held, but after the cultivator conference opens, there will be all kinds of transactions in the city where the cultivator conference is held. And the meaning of the sect is also to take this opportunity to do a business..."
"Is that in the name of the sect? Or in our name? I asked Old Man Fan.
Old man Fan said to me, "Of course, in the name of the sect... All of our herbs have been purchased separately. And we're in charge of escorting you to the place where the Ascertain's Assembly is taking place... As for what kind of transactions were made between the sects and the sects, we don't know... Now, you have to understand that the person who split the family has given a death order, if this medicinal herb is a little out of luck, or it is delivered late, don't say it's you... Even the Zhong family on our side will be implicated. ”
After hearing Old Man Fan's words, I became more relaxed...
"Since that's the case, what are you nervous about? Zhong Qi didn't dare to hurt me with this matter. In a way, we're grasshoppers on a rope... And for such a big thing, the price to harm me with this thing is too great. I asked Old Man Fan.
Old man Fan said to me, "That being said... But... I really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the second young master's gourd... Because we are more than 3,000 kilometers away from the place where the Practitioners' Conference is held, you have to travel 100 miles a day, and it will take you a month... Besides, you still have so many herbs with you. The time they set is three months later... It's basically an impossible task..."
"A hundred miles a day? Don't you have a car here? I was slightly stunned and asked Old Man Fan... However, when I asked, I regretted it a little.
I haven't been out, but I don't seem to have seen a single piece of technology along the way... Not to mention cars, not even electricity.
Old man Fan obviously didn't understand the meaning of my words, and then said to me, "Of course there is a car, but even if we choose good horses and camel goods, we can't travel a hundred miles a day..."
I finally know my worries now, because the most primitive method of transportation is used, that is, horse-drawn carriages. A horse-drawn cart can pull a ton of goods at most, and a hundred tons of medicinal herbs require at least a hundred wagons. It is impossible for such a convoy to march in a hurry, let alone travel 100 kilometers a day, even if it can travel 100 kilometers a day, but the next day the horse will definitely be tired and lie down.
It is conservatively estimated that 30 kilometers a day is at most... If nothing happens, if all goes well, at least a hundred days... It also far exceeded their expectations.
I finally know what Old Man Fan is worried about... Moreover, the hardest part is not the difficulty of transportation ...
The most difficult thing should be people, not counting others, a car needs a groom, and there are 100 grooms alone, and such a large team is loaded with medicinal herbs. Leaving this side is equivalent to a big piece of fat walking outside...
This stumped me, and I frowned slightly and said, "This is basically an unfinishable task... What do they think? Could it be that they are not afraid that the Zhong family here will be dragged into the water? ”
Old man Fan frowned slightly, "I didn't figure it out either... So I can't figure out what the second young master thinks..."
"And is there anyone to protect us?" I asked Old Man Fan.
Old Man Fan nodded at me, and then said, "The second young master has arranged the best dart game, and there are a total of 30 people who are darts, all of whom are cultivators..."
Hearing Old Man Fan follow me and say this, I felt that it was similar to what I thought, in this matter, even if Zhong Qi wanted to rectify me, he had to think about it... Besides, I don't deserve him to fix me like this. He wants to fix me now, and he doesn't have to bother at all.
But what does he want to do with this whole play? Surely it won't be for me...
Old man Fan said to me at this time, "But young master, you don't have to think too much. I'll follow you this time..."
