Chapter 30: The First Mission
"I didn't think this was your place." Bai Ou thought about turning around and leaving.
The old man's body shook, and suddenly he blocked in front of Bai Ou.
Bai Ou's heart sank.
"Why should the little brother refuse to be thousands of miles away." The old man smiled.
Master Cai and the others around were stunned, they never expected that the helper, who was usually high-minded, would be so kind and pleasant today, and the other party was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
"The little brother is here to apply for a martial artist, the 'Qianjun Gang' is eager to seek talents, and the little brother wants to leave, don't you look down on this gang?"
Seeing the old man ask, Bai Ou had to shake his head and said, "That's not it, it's just that my ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”
The old man laughed and said, "Then I can make a decision now, you have been hired, and the treatment is preferential, what does the little brother think?" ”
The girl named Mengru had been watching from the side, silent, and she was also a little curious about this mysterious boy who was about the same age as her.
Bai Ou said: "I just don't know what this martial artist does?" It can't be taught kung fu, right? ”
The old man shook his head and said: "The main business of our 'Qianjun Gang' is bodyguard escort and the like, and the martial artist is engaged in these jobs, although the basic salary is not high, but the commission for each completed task is very high." ”
The basic salary of the "Qianjun Gang" for martial artists whose strength has reached "metamorphosis and change" is 3,000 yuan, plus the task commission, at worst there are more than 10,000 yuan, and some can easily break 20,000 yuan, for a chaotic city like Nan'an City, such an income is not low.
As for Bai Ou's basic salary, the old man raised it to 4,000 yuan for him, and also covered his food and accommodation, which can be regarded as a good treatment.
Bai Ou was worried that he had nowhere to go, and after listening to the old man's conditions, he nodded and agreed.
The old man was very happy to see that Bai Ou was willing to stay, and asked him to take Bai Ou to choose a place to stay.
There is a row of three-story new buildings in this village, Bai Ou picked one to live in temporarily, although the decoration inside is not luxurious, but it is also cleaned up, the windows are bright and clean, spacious and bright.
became a martial artist of the "Qianjun Gang", Bai Ou temporarily lived here, and also knew that the old man's name was Xia Zhengyang, the leader of the "Qianjun Gang", and the girl who was about the same age as him was called Xia Mengru, who was an orphan and was adopted by Xia Zhengyang as a righteous daughter since she was a child.
Although she is only sixteen years old, Xia Mengru is a genius, she is well-known in Nan'an City, and she is already a master of "transforming into an ordinary person".
The "Qianjun Gang" has a lot of power in Nan'an City, and in addition to the chaebol families who secretly control Nan'an City, among the large and small gangs, the "Qianjun Gang" must be the leader.
Two days after Bai Ou became the martial artist of the "Qianjun Gang", he received a notice that he was going on a mission.
In this mission, a total of three martial artists accompanied them, in addition to Bai Ou, the other two martial artists were Xia Mengru and Master Cai.
Master Cai's full name is Cai Heli, he is kind and experienced, and he is an old man of the "Qianjun Gang".
In addition to their three martial artists, there are also six good bodyguards, the lineup can be considered strong, and in the past tasks, at most one martial artist can lead the team.
Bai Ou received a notice, cleaned up, placed an alloy dagger in his arms, carried an alloy war knife, and went to the hall of the "Qianjun Gang".
In the hall, Xia Mengru and Cai Heli were standing there, and there were six bodyguards outside, all of whom were strong men between twenty and thirty.
Although they are not masters of transformation, they are also trained combat fighters, and each has its own merits.
In the "Qianjun Gang", talents whose strength has reached "metamorphosis" or who have special skills are martial artists, and under the martial artists, they are bodyguards.
Cai Heli was dressed in a tight-fitting black suit, and his weapon was a steel spear with a detachable handle for easy carrying.
Xia Mengru's weapons were two short swords made of alloy that were more than a foot long, and like Bai Ou's alloy war knife, they were all high-end weapons of great value.
In the hall, in addition to Xia Mengru and Cai Heli, there was also a fat man with a fat head and big ears, with gray hair, who didn't look young anymore, holding a white handkerchief in his hand, wiping the sweat that came out of his forehead from time to time, and it seemed to be very hot.
Outside the hall, a four-wheeled carriage was parked, pulled by two huge black horses, one size larger than modern horses.
Bai Ou understood that these two giant horses were the ancient steppe horses that had degenerated from modern horses, and they were stronger and more powerful than modern horses, and they could run faster.
This world is different from the world where Bai Ou once lived, there are no cars and planes here, and this degraded and tamed steppe ancient horse is a common means of transportation for people.
When Bai Ou walked in, Xia Mengru's eyes wandered and said, "Everyone is here, Mr. Chang, let's go." ”
"Okay, okay." The fat man, who was called Mr. Chang, was already in a hurry, and when he heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the hall, opened the door of the carriage, and sat in.
Bai Ou's eyes were sharp, and he saw that in addition to Mr. Chang, there were several people sitting in the carriage, but the door was quickly closed, and Bai Ou couldn't see the appearance of these people.
Among the six people who followed the three of them, one of them sat in front of the carriage and picked up the whip, which was a coachman.
Another person brought a few ancient steppe horses, all of which were equipped with saddles, and each of them had one in hand.
Bai Ou has never ridden a horse, Cai Heli taught on the spot, Bai Ou tried to ride for a while, and quickly mastered the comprehension.
The others also got on their horses, and the group escorted the carriage, leaving the compound of the "Qianjun Gang" and leaving along the oncoming street.
Cai Heli knew that Bai Ou was riding a horse for the first time, and he was afraid that he would have an accident, so he followed him all the time, and told him the specific content of this mission by the way.
It turned out that Mr. Chang, who had a fat head and big ears, was a retired official, and this time he returned to his hometown of Qingyang City with his family.
In this world, species are degraded, there are lawless places everywhere, all kinds of fierce birds and beasts are rampant, and it is not safe to go from Nan'an to Qingyang, so he spent a lot of money to entrust the "Qianjun Gang" to send people to escort him.
Xia Zhengyang also attached great importance to it, so he sent three martial artists to this mission together, bringing Bai Ou with him, more so that he could learn from the experience.
This area belongs to the fringe area of Nan'an City, where small and big gangs are dumping, mixed with fish and dragons, and it is extremely chaotic, but the "Qianjun Gang" is extremely prestigious in this area, and no one dares to fight them.
Out of Nan'an City, it is a barren mountain road, overgrown with weeds, no one around, and everyone is alert.
Cai Heli said in a deep voice: "Everyone be careful. ”
This kind of barren mountain and wild road, from time to time there are fierce beasts, and even robbers may be encountered, no one knows what danger will happen, everyone has taken out the weapons they carry.
