Chapter 111: Temptation
Walking through the mountains and forests, Fan Bei let Da Bai follow him closely.
The road chosen by Lin Zhongshi is the smoothest road on the map, and it takes three to five days to walk only 90 kilometers in a straight line along this road, depending on how lucky he is.
Climb over the valley and over a mountain, and you will come across an east-west river, which is much smoother to the west.
At this time, the trees are shady, the ears are the birds and insects chirping one after another, and there are people from the Stubborn Stone Chamber of Commerce cutting down trees to open the way.
After all, no one has entered the mountains for more than 30 years, and all the mountain roads are covered by trees and shrubs, and in many places, if you want to rely on human feet to get out of the road again, you have to rely on axes and machetes.
The people of the Stubborn Stone Chamber of Commerce took turns to open the way, Rao was like this, and after two hours, more than a dozen people were also sweating profusely, and they had already rested three times in between.
At this time, they had just walked out of the five-mile mountain road.
The speed is only 2 miles an hour, which can be called slow, but this is the price of crossing barren mountains and old forests.
No one dares to be fast, not only to pay attention to your feet, but also to pay attention to your surroundings, I don't know when I encounter an evil thing, it may be fatal.
Fortunately, this large group of people and horses are all good hands above the bronze rank, and the general evil spirits have long been far away.
Fan Bei walked in the middle of the team with a cane, looking at the team, and sighed.
In the past, I felt that the evil tide was very dangerous, but now it seems that it is also a kind of protection in disguise, because of the flood of evil tides, many forces have a limited range of action.
And now that the evil tide is gone, the caravans that are six or seven hundred kilometers away can advance to the doorstep.
The bronze rank was rare before, but now the whole team is here.
Of course, this does not mean that the bronze steps are big road goods, whether it is the people of the oil river or the people of the stubborn stone, they are all screened out from many people.
Just as he was thinking, a clump of branches crossed in front of him, and he was just about to raise his foot to cross it, when the branches suddenly moved, making way for the road in front of him.
This scene was not noticed by anyone, but his heart moved.
Lin Zhongshi pressed the formation in the back, agitating morale from time to time.
"Everyone, watch your step, don't be too slow, wait two days to walk to the river, and then walk along the river, you can go much faster."
I don't know how long it has been, Fan Bei looked up at the sky, and the sunlight projected under the dense trees had reached noon.
Looking back now, they had just reached the top of the valley and left the shelter at their feet.
"Okay, let's find a place, eat and rest, after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we will set off again, and we must pay attention to maintaining the most abundant physical strength at all times." Lin Zhongshi commanded.
Fan Bei carefully remembered that the other party was all a clichΓ©, they were guards, and the pursuit was safe, not speed.
It didn't take long for a simple campsite to be arranged, with two caravans taking turns to keep watch while the others rested in the camp.
Fan Bei took out some canned food and baked bread from his carry-on space, as well as some fresh fruits and vegetables, found a stone, and ate with Dabai.
He looked around and found that Boss He of the oil river caravan was taking a person out of the temporary camp, as if to inspect the surroundings.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Behind a mountain rock in the distance, obscured by dense bushes, He Gui and his henchman He Xing were talking.
"Did you find it, isn't that dog worth a lot?" The old man He Gui couldn't wait to ask.
He Xing frowned and said: "I asked a few people along the way, Lao Chen said that this dog is indeed rare, and there are some nobles in our city who want to buy this kind of excellent pet that can talk, not to mention that it can be sold for 300,000 silver coins, and he has channels there." β
"300,000, a little little," He Gui shook his head, "Looking at that person's appearance, he won't change hands, and he has a good relationship with Lin Zhongshi's people." β
He Xing nodded: "Yes, although 300,000 is not a decimal, it is enough for us to run two long distances, and we can't take this risk." β
"Then let it be, if that person has an accident himself, don't blame us for taking the dog by the hand." The old man He Gui smiled gloomily.
He Xing was not surprised by this, in fact, the caravans that went out in these years were like the maritime merchants in the Age of Discovery, they were all half-merchants and half-thieves, where were the pure merchants?
When you meet on the road, if the opponent is weak, you will grab a handful, and if the opponent is strong, you will run quickly.
Of course, in the settlements, you can't do this, after all, this is the sphere of influence of the other hegemon, and there is no reason to do it, and you can't go back.
Two days passed, over the mountains and mountains, this small team finally arrived at a winding river.
"The Stubborn Stone Chamber of Commerce, as expected, is worthy of being a famous team that can move to the Northland for a few years," He Gui looked at the river in front of him and complimented him, "It's really lucky, I haven't encountered a single evil thing, it seems that they are all afraid of the reputation of your Chamber of Commerce." β
Lin Zhongshi said politely: "Where is it, this is still the result of the joint efforts of the two caravans, the big guys have experience, and they can walk smoothly." β
"I hope the next road will be smooth like this." He Gui looked down at the river, it was turquoise, and it was very cute.
As soon as the two finished speaking, suddenly there was a scream of an animal in the distance, and then the sound of "poof" falling into the river.
Everyone looked at each other, doesn't that seem like a good sign?
"Let's stay away from the river, don't panic, let's go ahead." Lin Zhongshi comforted everyone.
He Gui hurriedly nodded, "The big guys are far away." β
Fan Bei followed the crowd, away from the river, and stepped on the sand and gravel by the river.
In the end, it is much easier than crossing mountains and mountains, but unfortunately no one dares to go forward on a raft, otherwise, it will be easier.
Da Bai followed behind, but he was very enduring, he couldn't see the tiredness at all, and he sniffed around very diligently.
They walked along the river for more than two hours and finally stopped again to rest.
At this time, suddenly a person who opened the way in front walked up to He Gui and whispered a few words.
Fan Bei cultivated the Fog Armor, and was already extremely proficient in air and wind, and although they spoke quietly, he still heard some of them.
"There is a sandbar in the river in front, and there is a clump of honeysuckle on the sandbank, which is one of the several cultivation accessories named by the city lord."
He Gui seemed to be very moved, and said a few words to Lin Zhongshi, and he was going to order a few people to check and pick.
Seeing this, Lin Zhongshi immediately persuaded and said: "Boss He, don't make any extraneous branches, we are not here to hunt for treasure halfway." β
"Haha, President Lin, don't worry, but what can happen if you have some tooth sacrifices along the way?" He Gui said this, as if he didn't care.
"There is nothing wrong with being careful, you have also been a businessman for many years, and you should understand that the most taboo thing for us to do security work is for employers to act without permission." Lin Zhongshi was blunt.
Business is business, if the other party is looking for a dangerous way, he will not take his brother to find death.
"Yes, President Lin is really reliable," He Gui did not feel offended, but laughed loudly, "My old man didn't choose the wrong person, you don't care about these roadside flowers and plants, when you get to the place, you will naturally make a lot of money." β
Fan Bei shook his head when he saw this, he was really an old fritter, and at this time, he didn't forget to test Lin Zhongshi and others.
