Chapter 48: The Caravan
The sun is rising, and it's a new day.
In the Ukiyo Palace, people enter and exit, and it is very lively, showing the prosperity of the royal family.
Wang Haochen sat lazily on the railing of the cloister of the Ukiyo Hall, leaning against the red lacquered pillar, half-squinting his eyes, basking in the sun comfortably.
He came to the Ukiyo Hall early, waiting for today's arrangements for the Ukiyo Palace, but it has been more than an hour now, but he is not in a hurry at all, since the people of the eldest lady have spent so much effort to force him onto this road, they will definitely not let him go, let him bask in the sun comfortably here, sooner or later someone will not be able to bear it.
It was almost noon, Wang Haochen covered his stomach, a little hungry, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, swept around, lost the patience to wait, and walked straight to the gate of the Ukiyo Palace.
He had no interest in playing such a little trick with them here, and planned to go and feed himself first.
"Young Master Chen, we're about to set off, where are you going?" Wei Lin didn't know where he turned around, and suddenly blocked in front of Wang Haochen.
"You?" Wang Haochen frowned slightly, stared at Wei Lin and said, "You are the person in charge of the caravan?"
Wang Haochen sneered in his heart, as he expected, just the appearance of this Wei Lin made him confirm all his conjectures.
"Yes, due to the lack of manpower in the family, there is no general manager for the caravan this time, and I am responsible for everything. Wei Lin nodded and said with a smile.
Because of He Heng's incident, Wang Haochen already knew that Wei Lin was already on the side of the eldest lady, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of this Wei Lin in his heart.
"Commander Wei's strength is amazing, this time the caravan is in charge of Commander Wei, and it should be foolproof. Wei Lin said that he was in charge of the caravan, but Wang Haochen estimated that most of them were arranged by the eldest lady in the caravan, and they looked at their own components.
"There, there!" Wei Lin showed a slight hint of pride.
Among the five guards of the Wang family, his strength is precedent, although he heard that Wang Haochen defeated Cangting, he was only slightly surprised, and he didn't take it too seriously, and he also heard some gossip, most seriously This is also a step in the eldest lady's plan, and he doesn't think that Wang Haochen really has that strength, but feels worthless for Cangting.
"Our caravan is about to depart, and now we ask Young Master Chen to go to the business house with me, the brothers in the family have been waiting for a long time. Wei Lin stood in front of Wang Haochen, as if he didn't know that Wang Haochen had been waiting here for a long time.
Wei Lin didn't come early or late, but he appeared when he was about to leave, Wang Haochen knew what was going on, but now he didn't want to treat himself badly, it was a big deal, and now he had to wait until he was full.
"I'm sorry, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat now, do you want Commander Wei to come along, I'll have a treat." Wang Haochen took a step, bypassed Wei Lin, and walked straight towards the outside of the Ukiyo Palace.
"Young Master Chen, the caravan is about to depart......" Wei Lin's face turned pale, looked at Wang Haochen's back, and shouted sharply.
But Wang Haochen didn't hear it, waved his hand, and went straight away.
I found a fairly clean restaurant in Hewei City, asked for a few side dishes, and ate comfortably.
He had just eaten halfway through, and outside the restaurant, several family guards wearing battle armor looked for him, and several of them swept slightly, looking at Wang Haochen, who was sitting in the restaurant, eating and drinking, and their faces couldn't help but be wonderful.
Eating and drinking, covering his belly and picking his teeth, he swayed out of the restaurant.
"Lead the way!" Wang Haochen swept his eyes towards a few people and said lightly.
He really didn't know where the family business house was, and he had never paid attention to these things before.
The Wang family firm is located in the center of Hewei City, which occupies most of the street, in the middle of a courtyard, countless goods in and out, people come and go, the courtyard is piled up like a mountain of goods, one of the corners, there are five beast carts, which have been filled with goods, and several cow-shaped monsters have also been set on the beast carts.
Next to the truck, there are more than 20 demon beasts tethered, all of them are the lowest-level gray wolf demon beasts, but compared with the dark small world, they are stronger, and their bodies are also much taller, with a wide back and thick hooves.
Around the truck, there were more than 20 family guards lazily waiting, standing or sitting, and even lying down, most of them had a trace of ruffianism, and they didn't look like guards at all.
In the compound, those people from the family who passed by here had a look of disdain in their eyes when they saw those people.
Wei Lin's face was pale, staring at the gate of the compound, his face was hard to see.
"Wang Haochen, I see when you are so proud, a dying person really thinks of himself as a character. Wei Lin secretly hated in his heart.
He took these people to wait here, endured the sneering eyes shot from the courtyard, and when he thought of Wang Haochen leisurely eating and drinking outside, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
"Yo, I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up, but I didn't expect that I would have such a big face that I could let Commander Wei wait for me here. Wang Haochen walked into the small courtyard unhurriedly, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw Wei Lin's people.
"Let's go!" Wei Lin stared at Wang Haochen, waving his hand angrily almost through gritted teeth.
Wang Haochen didn't see it, walked to the side of the truck, chose a relatively majestic gray wolf, and regardless of whether he had a master or not, he turned over and straddled it.
With Wei Lin's order, those guards suddenly rioted, and those who were lying on the ground seemed to have fallen asleep, and they couldn't figure out the situation.
"What's wrong?" asked one of them, rubbing his eyes and looking around.
"Monkey, get up, it's time to go. One of them raised his foot and kicked one of the people who was still lying on the ground, muttering.
", who's got my knife?" someone scolded.
More than 20 guards were messed together.
Wang Haochen looked at the guards in front of him, with some thoughtful looks in his eyes, although he didn't care much about some things in the family before, but the guards in the family, he had seen a lot, he really hadn't seen such a slow guard, if the Wang family's guards were like this, the Wang family would have been wiped out long ago, and it would have been able to have today's grand occasion.
"To be able to assemble a group of such guards, I have to say, you are really willing to put your mind into it. Wang Haochen grabbed the reins and took the lead towards the outside of the compound, but he sneered in his heart.
After leaving Hewei City this time, these people probably won't be able to come back, but Wang Haochen didn't bother to say anything.
The wheels were rolling, the hooves were ringing, and more than 20 people escorted the five beast carts, out of the east gate of Hewei City, and went straight to the northeast.
Wang Haochen walked at the back of the line, but two of the family guards followed him almost step by step, making his eyes slightly cold.
These two guards, obviously different from most of the guards, have a cold face and a fierce aura, and at first glance they are the elites who have been killed for a long time, and they are completely incomparable to the loose guards in front.
Wei Lin walked at the front of the line, riding first.
Wang Haochen's eyes swept among the guards, and he quickly noticed two of them, who were completely polar.
One of them was lean, wearing the family armor, and he felt like a leather monkey shrunk in a shell, which was extremely ridiculous, but he didn't know that he was jumping up and down in the middle of the team, and from time to time he came to Wei Lin's side, and there was a burst of sycophancy, which was extremely flattering.
Although this person is ridiculous and disgusting, his name is quite atmospheric, and his name is Zhou Buying.
And the other person, who had never seen him speak, looked cold and silent, silent, like a puppet, followed the team, his name was Han Liu, and he only knew when he heard the discussions of the guards in the team.
"Boy, although you are a direct disciple of the family, since you have entered the caravan, you have to listen to our Wei commander, do you know?" Zhou Bucheng didn't know what was crazy, and suddenly rushed to Wang Haochen's side, and said a word without a beginning or an end.
Wang Haochen frowned slightly, and glanced at Wei Lin in front of him, if there was no provocation from Wei Lin, Wang Haochen definitely didn't believe it, although he did not have any status in the Wang family, but after all, he was a direct disciple of the Wang family, and it was not something that these guards dared to provoke easily.
Wang Haochen smiled coldly and said, "How many years have you been in the Wang family?"
"What are you asking for?" Zhou Buying's lean body shrunk into the battle armor, and there was confusion in his eyes, but he still said smugly: "I was born in the Wang family, and I grew up in the Wang family since I was a child. ”
"Oh!" Wang Haochen couldn't help but take a look at it, a little surprised, but still spoke: "In this way, you should know the family rules very well?"
"What is the end of provoking the direct bloodline, if you commit the following crimes?" Wang Haochen's eyes shot coldly, and he suddenly screamed, "Even if I kill you, no one will say anything." ”
Zhou Buying's body trembled slightly, his face changed, he snorted a few times, stared at Wang Haochen, and a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes gradually rose, but he still retreated in a deep voice.
After experiencing what happened to Zhou, those guards seemed to have learned a lesson, although they looked at Wang Haochen's eyes with a lot of disdain, but they really didn't come up to find trouble.
Constantly hurrying, eating and drinking on the back of the gray wolf, half a day passed, they had walked out of more than 100 miles, and they had been far away from Hewei City, Wang Haochen gradually felt that the breath in the team had changed.
The most obvious thing is that the eyes of the two guards who have been following him closely behind him, the cold light that fell on Wang Haochen's back, flashed with cold light, and they were no longer hidden. Wei Lin also seemed to have lost his patience to conceal it, and shouted to move forward, not even bothering to do the hypocritical politeness.
Those family guards gradually grew bolder, sneering and talking loudly about him from time to time, and from time to time there was a burst of ridicule.
"A bunch of idiots, who were really bought by others, and helped others count the money. Wang Haochen was too lazy to bother with them, wasting his spirit.
No matter how the eldest lady planned to deal with him, Wang Haochen was sure that these guards would survive a very small number of them, and they could only be the absolute henchmen of the eldest lady.
Originally, Wang Haochen thought that the eldest lady would arrange people in the caravan guards and secretly remove him on the road, but when he saw these guards, he understood that the eldest lady must have other arrangements.
It is impossible for the eldest lady not to know about his defeat of Cangting in the Ukiyo Palace, although Wei Lin is equal in strength to Cangting, but he alone cannot kill himself, plus those messy guards, even if he is defeated, if he wants to run, those guards will definitely not be able to stop him.
With his understanding of the eldest lady, she would definitely not do something that she was not sure of, and there must be other arrangements.
"Even if these people were arranged by the eldest lady, then there must be someone who hasn't appeared, who could it be?" Wang Haochen thought secretly in his heart.
People from the Feng family?
Although Wang Haochen is not sure, the people of the Feng family are likely to appear. The eldest lady wants to kill him, if he uses the people of the Wang family, the risk is still extremely great, once the news leaks, it will not be as easy to fool him as last time.
It was getting late, and after walking nearly two hundred miles in half a day, the people were sleepy and tired, and the guards showed a trace of fatigue on their faces, even Wei Lin was not much better.
Although Wang Haochen is physically strong, his cultivation is not weak, and his physical strength is not consumed, but mentally he is also a little unbearable, after all, it is the first time for him to travel so far in one day, and it is still a little difficult to adapt.
But when the caravan turned a mountain peak and continued to move towards it, the people who forked the road next to it, an old man and a young man, rode two demon beasts covered in black armor and slowly followed.
Wang Haochen's eyes swept slightly over the two people, and the look in his eyes suddenly flashed slightly.
