"My mother, who are you!" After repeated warnings, Zheng Ergou let go of his hand. Zhang Banlei picked up a knife casually and put on a defensive posture, but asked in a very obedient whisper.

Zheng Ergou said his identity again.

"Well... If you can mix it up like this, boy, you can really do it. Hey, why are my two brothers so drunk? Forget it, what's the matter with you?"

As soon as Zhang Banlei was let go by Zheng Ergou, he lay down directly on the ground. It looks like he's exhausted. He didn't ramble like a chatterbox, but asked directly.

"Is Brother Zhang literate?" asked Zheng Ergou a little embarrassed.

Zhang Banlei, who was lying on the straw mat in the tent, glared at him, "What's the matter, look down on me? Who doesn't recognize the word?"

"No, no, no, that's good..."Zheng Ergou showed a hippie smile, "First of all, ask the eldest brother, how is the leather that my eldest lady asked you to buy?"

"That's it. These uncivilized barbarians are really simple, under the coaxing and deception of Lao Tzu, ten taels of silver bought fifteen skins, although the price is more than the family wealth brought out by Lao Tzu. Recently, the silver market has not been good, but those fools and barbarians probably don't know what the market is, and buying that kind of magical leather at this price is definitely profitable. Now the skins are tied to my horse and tethered to an old tree a few hundred meters to the west. I'm still figuring out how to pack them up secretly and bring them in. ”

It seems that this guy can't stop talking. Zheng Ergou thought helplessly. He hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Big brother, the situation in the city may change at present. The eldest lady asked me to bring you a letter, you can take a look. ”

He squatted down and gave the letter to Zhang Banlei. He touched the stubble on his face, glanced at Zheng Ergou a little strangely, tore open the envelope, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "The situation has changed, it should be the issue of martial law again at the border gate." ”

After last night's overnight deliberations, they already had the best plan in mind. The letter is very clear - due to the renewed tightening of martial law, the search for goods carried in and out of the border will be more stringent. He Yue said that he didn't want to take this risk, and if Zhang Banlei was asked to bring the leather back to the city, there might be problems.

She mentioned that the travelers who were generally escorted by such a caravan were often from aristocratic families. She hoped to ask Zhang Banlei to ask the nobles for help and let them help with it. Because although martial law at the border is very strict, there are still privileges for the nobility. If they help carry it, it should be possible to avoid a heavy interrogation, so it will be much safer.

Seeing that he seemed to have finished reading the letter, Zheng Ergou asked, "Brother Zhang, I just heard from these two brothers that the identity of the guest is kept secret before returning to the city. He pointed to the two drunken brothers on the ground. "I don't know ..... you have with them"

"I know who they are. All of them are from the Zhang family in Blackwater City. In the country of Hades, they are the most expert in their family's jewelry business. Zhang Banlei finished reading the letter. Place it on the ground. sighed, "Your young lady is really thinking carefully." It's just that this work of asking people to do things is not particularly good at it. His eyes rolled and he looked at Zheng Ergou.

Zheng Ergou naturally understood what he meant, "Asking someone to do something is naturally indispensable for payment! As long as the eldest brother can successfully transport the leather back, twice the profit that was said before, plus fifty percent! My eldest lady is the daughter of the city lord, and the matter of a few dozen taels of silver, can it be called a matter?"

Zhang Banlei smiled, stretched, and stood up, "Little brother, if what I said is correct, Miss He is the righteous daughter of the City Lord of He, right? ”

"You don't know what to say. Poor men raise rich women. How much do you think the little boy of the city lord's family will give if he asks his father for so much money? In my opinion, it would be good not to give a slap! Girls are different, just based on the appearance of my eldest lady, regardless of whether she is born or adopted, as long as the city lord raises her, how can she not love her? Can that be the same as a boy? Not to mention that my eldest lady is so likable. Zheng Ergou said with a smile, and Zhang Banlei also laughed.

"What the kid said makes sense! This matter is up to me, I have a way to convince those guests of the Zhang family. People who have done business have no money right to solve the problem. What's more, this is the daughter of the city lord asking them for help. And for them, the risk of the whole thing is almost non-existent, and there should be no reason to refuse us. Zhang Banlei said.

"I wonder if the eldest brother can give me a list of the dozen or so guests? My eldest lady wants to write a letter to them before tomorrow and let me send it secretly. Wouldn't that be better? Of course, big brother, it would be better if you were willing to help us ask again. ”

Zhang Banlei scratched his head, always feeling a little strange, but also replied cheerfully, "There are too many people, I only remember two or three names." I'll tell you what their heads are. Their trip this time was all under the command of the man named Zhang Gong. Zhang Gong is the second brother of the current second generation of the Zhang family, yes, it is the palace character of the palace. ”

"Thank you, big brother, that's enough. Zheng Ergou patted it with relief, he wrote down the name, and it would be of great use two days later. Zhang Banlei said, "I'll go to Captain Zheng again to ask, he has a close relationship with the guests, and he will usually agree if I ask him for help." ”

Zheng Ergou nodded, "That's very good! It's not too early, Brother Zhang, little brother will go first." "With this settled, everything is moving towards their plan. Zhang Banlei just nodded, but suddenly thought of something and asked, "Won't you really be discovered by the night patrol when you go back like this?" If you want to spend the night in our tent, you can leave tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't bother big brother! goodbye!"

Of course, the next goodbye will be after a lot of things have happened.

Zhang Banlei picked up the letter, threw it into the firewood that was still burning under the boiler, and then extinguished the fire when it was extinguished. Then he got out of the tent and went to the front to talk to the boss about it.

Zheng Ergou, who had been hiding behind a sand dune behind, was observing Zhang Banlei and Captain Zheng's every move when he was called. Although he was not suspicious of Zhang Banlei, it was still good to be safe. After a while, I saw Zhang Banlei bowing to their boss with a smile on his face, and then walked towards his tent. The captain mounted a horse and rode far to the west. Zheng Ergou hurriedly got up and wanted to follow, but at this time, he found that his shoulder was pressed by a hand.

Cold sweat flowed down instantly. He didn't dare to look back. How could this man approach him silently and without him noticing? He waited for this man to speak, and he didn't dare to move, watching the captain disappear from sight. In this case, it can only be understood in a good direction - Captain Zheng went to get the leather. There are no other anomalies.

"Squat down and don't move. Suddenly, there was a heavy sound in my ears. This made Zheng Ergou even more shocked. Could this man be a monk? The breath isn't very obvious.

He slowly crouched down as instructed. However, when his heels reached his buttocks, he suddenly kicked his feet and jumped up with the help of a strong thrust. Turning in the air, he grabbed the person's shoulders with both hands, and as he fell, he pressed the other person down with a hard force.

At this time, not only did the other party's heart set off a monstrous wave, but he himself was a little shocked, this... It's not at the same level as yourself at all.,It's too weak.。

"Don't move, follow me!" Zheng Ergou sent his voice back, tied his hands behind his back, and pushed him into the distance.

"Okay, you were following me just now?" Zheng Ergou escorted him to the sand dunes he had passed by before and kicked him to the ground. Sharply asked.

With his cultivation and refining strength, he could clearly see this person's appearance in the dark night. Young males, up to 18 years of age. At this time, he fell to the ground, and did not try to escape, his face was calm but cold.

"I think so about you, too. Say, are you a guide, or a disciple of his?"

The man said in a cold tone. From the time Zheng Ergou was caught off guard and subdued him, he knew that this person's cultivation was far higher than him. Based on his knowledge, he thought that there was only Shizun on this continent, that is, Sen Qian, and his disciples would cultivate the techniques of cultivating the Dao and refining the body. Therefore, he was extremely confident that the other party was either a guide sent by Sen Qian to various places, or he was a registered disciple with him, and the two were still senior brothers.

"You're so confident, aren't you afraid of saying the wrong thing in front of others and revealing your master's secret?" Zheng Ergou said with a sneer looking at him. The man didn't say that he wasn't sure where his weak cultivation came from, but after saying that, he understood that this man was also a registered disciple of Sen Qian, and he had the courage to choose this extremely difficult task. Most likely, there will not be a third disciple who chooses this task.

"Well, I'm right. You have the courage to choose this task. At first, I thought you were some kind of spy, so I sneaked up on you and offended. ”

Zheng Ergou stretched out his hand to him, "I am not a disciple of Master Sen. I belong to the last group of guides, Zheng Ming. ”

The man reached out and was pulled up by him. "In this way, the disciple you are in charge of is the same as me. This task was also chosen. Since it's a misunderstanding, let's find a way to go. As if nothing had happened. You and I have not seen each other. With that, he turned around and wanted to leave, without the slightest hint of surprise, as if nothing had happened.

Zheng Ergou grabbed his hand, "Slow." Tell me your name. And who your guide is! Don't rush. ”

The man sighed and said, "Under the common name Sima Yin." My guide, he was the first to come. He... He died months ago. ”

"I know you!" he told me about the existence of this disciple. Zheng Ergou said excitedly, "It is said that your guide, Meng Lao Wu, placed his spiritual sense in your sea of knowledge after death, and Master Sen is actually communicating with him, but because of the reason for going deep into the sea of knowledge, you can directly hear everything Sen Qian said." He didn't know this at first, so he divulged some things about Yumenomiya to you. So you subconsciously think that all monks come from the Dream Palace and are related to the forest dive. ”

Sima Yin sighed and took over the conversation, "Then Shizun soon found out that the guide had died. But he chose to continue cultivating me. Without a guide, he taught me how to do the Consciousness Movement. When the master was communicating with Brother Meng's remnants, at the same time, as long as I performed the Divine Consciousness Movement, I would be automatically taken to the Master's dream. There, he personally taught me how to cultivate. However, I am stupid by nature, and a few months have passed, but I have only three layers of condensation, plus I have learned some swordsmanship and fist and foot kung fu. However, Shizun never gave up on me. ”

Zheng Ergou sighed, "In this way... You are not a registered disciple at all! Although you bear this title, you have directly become an introductory disciple of the Sen Dao because of the violent death of the guide? His vision is really incomprehensible......

It is true that in the short process of fighting, Zheng Ergou did not feel that this Sima brother had any superiority. The most unfavorable thing was that he had been cultivating for several months. As a result, his cultivation was not as good as that of his eldest lady, He Yue, and his skills were not fast.

However, he had always thought that the eldest lady who held the relics of the five-colored mending stone was lucky enough. But this man's experience is truly enviable. To be honest, if Sen Qian is willing to take him Zheng Ergou to practice for half a year now, Zheng Ergou will still be happy in his heart.

"I know who I am, I know it. I was subdued by your move just now, and I didn't have any ability to resist, and I know better how weak my talent is. So I haven't dared to slack off for a few months. I think and practice what my master taught me very seriously. A few days ago, he also gave me two tasks and let me choose like the other disciples. I knew I couldn't choose the easy one. And I really need to choose this difficult task to sharpen myself, and the master is good to me, but I can't indulge myself. ”

Zheng Ergou thought helplessly in his heart that Sen Qian would never do anything that was not good for him. The reason why he is so good to Sima Yin is probably because he still has secrets that he can't understand now. Out of a complicated psychology, he continued to stop Sima Yin and took the initiative to say, "However, you don't have the help of a guide, you are alone. Don't you know Sen Qian's description of this mission? There are two monks on the other side, and they must be very good at cultivating. Even if you can kill those nobles of the Underworld. How are you going to do something to those two monks?"

When Sima Yin heard this, he sighed, "I chose this task. If you can't think of a better way to do it the day after tomorrow... I can only come recklessly, and I can do whatever I can. I have one advantage that you may not know, although it's not great. After the death of my guide, my spiritual consciousness was placed in my sea of consciousness, and my divine consciousness was very developed due to various reasons, and the master said that my divine consciousness coverage ability was almost comparable to that of Zhuji, and I also had a certain shielding ability. That's why I was able to approach you secretly, Zheng Ming. But it's not a great feat...... At least at this stage, it's just chicken ribs. Hope it comes in handy. ”

"Don't say it. Sima Yin, not only is it impossible for you to succeed like this, but it is also possible to ruin my master's plan. Join us. We have a well-thought-out plan to do this almost without bloodshed. We act together and have a higher chance of success!"

Sima Yin hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "The reason why Master Venerable took these two things as a task is not to distinguish the superiority between the registered disciples? I'm in front of my master... Can't hold your head up. ”

It's really troublesome, this guy doesn't seem to have a small inferiority complex. Zheng Ergou thought helplessly. Then he said sternly, "Then what do you want? You can beat a dozen nobles of the Underworld who are proficient in martial arts by yourself, or are you going to fight with those two monks? Or are you going to follow your own temperament and ruin the plan we have been planning for so long?"

"It's... If we are opponents, why can't we interfere with you? Don't stop me!" Sima Yin forcibly quibbled. Zheng Ergou easily pulled his hand back. Said in a serious tone

"Do you have the courage to choose this task, is it just a hot head? I don't know anything about you, but I've only heard some of your deeds in the mouth of the forest. I ask you, do you know which family the guests this group of horses transported? Do you know that the border pass of Blackwater City has been under martial law recently? Do you know where the other group of guests is stationed? You don't know anything, and you have made a decision with a hot brain, and now you are going to be rotten? Let me tell you, it seems that only the two of us dare to choose this task. So what's there to fight about? There are only two people, and this task is so difficult, even Sen Qian himself will choose to work together with both sides, right? This truth, Sen Qian doesn't understand? Let's act together, he will blame you?"

After Zheng Ergou finished speaking, he took a heavy breath. I feel like I'm about to become a life coach tonight. After hearing his words, Sima Yin stayed in place and was stunned for a while. Only then did he say awkwardly, "Now, what are we going to do?"

"Let's go, go back with me and meet with my eldest lady. We'll tell you about the plan. You also have to tell us about your background and things like that, and trust each other. By the way, I'll be back in a family mansion later. You blend in like you did when you touched me. Rest assured, with your skills in this area, you will definitely not be caught. ”
