"Is it that we have given too little silver over the years, and the Shen Pavilion Master is short of silver...... "A fat man wearing a hand full of gold and jade whispered.

"Last time the owner's mother celebrated her birthday, we sent several boxes of gold and silver ......."

"There must be someone who is too stingy, and I remember a few of them didn't go to that birthday at all. ”

Several people's faces turned red and they hurriedly argued: "We also gave gifts!"

At this time, Fan Youfang stood up and shouted: "Enough, don't make any noise! Such a trivial matter is panicked like this, what kind of system!"

"Oh, it seems that the shopkeeper Fan has thought ......of a way," a voice mocked, it was Yang Decai, the old rival of the Fan family's business.

Although the Fan family has developed rapidly over the years, there are many people who have offended, and Fan Youfang also wants to make a name for himself in the future, at least so that others in the United Chamber of Commerce dare not underestimate it easily.

"Hmph!" Fan Youfang snorted coldly, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and said slowly: "A merchant is not a child's thing, not a hairy boy and a little girl can do it if they want to." ”

At this time, someone stood up to refute, and Yang Decai said: "What can't be done, is there anyone who dares not to give face to the Tiannan Martial Arts Pavilion? ”

Everyone knows the relationship between the Fan family and the city lord, and to belittle the city lord is to belittle the Fan family.

Fan Youfang's face suddenly turned cold: "Yang Decai, you'd better pay attention to your words and deeds, it doesn't matter who the city lord is respectful in front of, but in front of you, hehe, be careful that you can't eat and walk around!"

"You ......" Of course, there are people behind Yang Decai, but in public, offending the city lord is definitely not in line with the style of a businessman.

Fortunately, the white-haired old man finally knew that it was time for him to stand up now, instead of continuing to sit and watch the play.

"Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, since the head of the Fan family has a good idea, it's better to say it and let everyone refer to it. ”

For the sake of interests, Fan Youfang chose to continue to forbear, and a sincere smile appeared on his face again: "Hehe, it's not a particularly good idea, it's just that the merchants still have some understanding of the bandits and bandits on the various roads on weekdays......"

"You mean to hire them to rob the caravan of the Tiannan Martial Arts?" the old man's eyes lit up, as if he had realized something.

Fan Youfang shook his head: "Yes and no." Most of the bandits and bandits are masters who have their heads on their waists and want money rather than their lives, and they may not necessarily give face to Tiannan Martial Arts. As long as the information about the caravan's delivery of the treasure is spread slightly, it is believed that many thieves will take the bait. ”

After listening to Fan Youfang's idea, even Yang Decai's face showed a look of satisfaction, this is indeed a good plan.

It's just that...... All the businessmen present looked at Fan Youfang in silence.

Merchants seek wealth, but they don't want to touch dangerous things.

There is no impermeable wall in the sky, there are so many people present, the news leaks out, and the one who comes out is remembered by the museum owner, I'm afraid I won't feel safe when I sleep in the future.

After a long time, the old man stroked his white beard, looked at Fan Youfang and said, "Since it is the proposal of the Fan family master, why don't you leave this matter to the Fan family master, how about it?"

Fan Youfang's expression remained unchanged, he had already expected this to be the case, he waved his hand and said, "Since it is a joint discussion and a common interest, of course we must be together." ”

"But it's inconvenient to have too many people, isn't it?" said the old man.

"Well, it does. As he spoke, Fan Youfang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and a desert was drawn on the top, and in the middle of the desert was a high raised sand dune.

"This is ......" The old man took it and looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "The mission contract of the Sand Hill." ”

Everyone was taken aback, it turned out that Fan Youfang had been prepared for a long time, and it was indeed a scheming old fox. However, it is absolutely a break in the rules for businessmen to compete and hire killers.

Taking a deep breath, the old man's face turned ugly and asked, "How did you come into contact with Sand Hill?"

"It's just business. Fan Youfang replied simply.

"That'...... Just this once, don't contact them again in the future. The old man said earnestly. The others also looked at Fan Youfang a little unnaturally.

"Yes, just once. ”

Fan Youfang just happened to meet two young killers who were out on a mission in the sand hills, and then they took over their own mission privately.

However, the businessmen present didn't know, secretly they didn't know how many guards to add to guard against the Fan family, and it was absolutely impossible to say that there were no complaints.

The merchants quickly discussed and raised 60,000 taels together, of which 50,000 taels were for destroying the caravan and killing the culprit Chu Jing by the way, and the other 10,000 taels was for Miss Shen's protection money.

They had the guts to deal with the martial arts caravan, but they didn't have the guts to completely offend the hall owner.

And Fan Youfang also had a lot of silver left to deal with Chu Jing, and he was the biggest winner present.

At this time, the small caravan was driving slowly on the official road, carrying a large number of goods, and it was moving very slowly.

There are many mountainous woods on both sides of the official road, and there are often rumors of monsters attacking people.

Demon beasts and humans are the common masters of the Divine Continent, although the two invade each other, they also restrain each other, maintain a safe distance, and guard their respective small territories.

The official road between cities belongs to human beings. The large and small post stations on the official road, the officers and soldiers on patrol, maintain the safety of this road.

Of course, it is also extremely unreliable to completely rely on the officers and soldiers and luck, such as our Tiannan Martial Arts Hall caravan.

"This is the third time......

On a red horse, Shen Xiaoye frowned, not at all as elated as when he first encountered the demon beast.

Three huge monsters resembling rhinoceros on the ground, their corpses separated, blood flowed all over the ground, they looked bloody and cruel, and it was really not a beautiful picture.

According to the record of "Thousands of Demon Beasts" in Chu Jing's memory, this is a white-horned ironclad rhinoceros, omnivorous, with a record of cannibalism, with a tyrannical temperament, and likes to attack all active objects that invade the territory.

Previously, they had encountered a herd of red-eyed horned horses and a lone shadow leopard.

"It's not good to be out of school!"

On the other horse, Chu Jing also shook his head, but he didn't think too much, after all, this world must be very dangerous in his eyes, just like in the game, there are always many monsters outside the city that are used to brush up experience.

Although he, the protagonist of the game, does not need this experience......

And although the Blackwater Knights noticed that there was a problem, they came here because of the danger, so naturally they didn't say anything.

Three attacks did not cause much trouble. Shen Xiaoye shot twice, killed a few red-eyed wildebeests, and played a grappling game with the Shadow Leopard for a while, and it was also easily solved.

The warriors of the Divine Continent have no sense of animal protection and pity the demon beasts. Especially in the human area, the demon beasts that operate in the human area, letting go of one, may cause the death of dozens of innocent civilians, which is the experience summed up by the lesson of blood.

As for the three white-horned ironclad rhinos, of course Chu Jing would not make a move.

He inherited all the martial arts of Shi Qian, but after all, he only had a half-star evaluation, and light skills and the like can be regarded as the top among the heroes of Liangshan, but what about fists and feet...... It's okay to beat a few ordinary people,

That's when the Blackwater Knight, hired at a high price, came into play.

The two of them burst into front of the white-horned iron-armored rhinoceros like shadows, only to see a flash of sword light, and the three iron-armored rhinoceros were still running a few steps, and the huge heads were completely separated from the body.

......Seeing such a scene again, Chu Jing was still very surprised, and even felt that those two thin swords were like red jade and autumn water, and they were treasures worth ten thousand gold.

"It's not the sword, it's the skill!"

Shen Xiaoye's realm is higher, and she can see and understand more clearly, the fracture of her jade hand is not a smooth section, but a curvature, the spine is separated from the joints, and the rest is also along the texture.

"It's just a miracle skill of Ku Ding to solve the cow!"

Chu Jing was even more shocked in his heart, this kind of skill had to be achieved after many years of hard work, and the Black Water Knight could even understand the body structure of the iron-armored rhinoceros, let alone ...... Person!

"What?" asked Shen Xiaoye with a puzzled expression.

"Uh, nothing. ”

Of course, Chu Jing didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say it casually.

"Weirdos!"

It's been two days since she traveled, and Shen Xiaoye didn't have the interest she had when she first went out, whether it was the superb skills of the guards or Chu Jing's more and more little secrets, she was no longer interested.

"When can I rest today, there should be a post station ahead, right?" she asked.

"Yes, it's three or four miles away. Chu Jing has asked this kind of question several times, and of course the answer is fluent.

"That's good. Shen Xiaoye yawned and nodded.

Last night was camping in the wilderness.

Close to the big city, there is no need to set up a post station guard, and the post station is mainly for the official convenience, generally all over the country for the imperial court to report the folds, etc., so there is a fast horse for a day, a post station.

As for opening a hotel in the wild, such a thing is rare, after all, monsters occasionally wander, and it is not safe to have fewer people.

Chu Jing's slow-moving small caravan had no choice but to camp.

These people are really good for the crows, and the camping home has been prepared in advance, with insect repellent powder, hammocks, and ingredients and utensils for picnics.

Shen Xiaoye was still swinging around in the hammock excitedly at first, and even counted the shining stars in the sky, but in the second half of the night, he was really just counting the stars, half of which was excited, and the other half was the noisy chirping of insects in the forest, and "recognizing the bed".

During the day, Shen Xiaoye's spirit was no longer yesterday, and his interest was completely gone.

Sure enough, in the evening, the caravan saw a building in the distance, and it was where the post station was located.

There are usually garrisons and rooms for business travelers in the inn, but at this time the post station is not peaceful, and a battle is being staged.

On both sides of the battle, a young swordsman and an eight- or nine-year-old girl behind him were on one side, and on the other side were hundreds of bloody wolves with crimson hair.

On the surface, the battle with a huge disparity in strength was stalemate for a while.

If you look closely, behind the blood wolf, there are countless broken corpses, which are the garrisons of the post station and the merchants who live here, as well as the blood wolves that were killed. Some flesh and blood are blurred, and it is completely impossible to distinguish whether it was a human or a blood wolf before death.

The Blood Wolves have captured an entire inn!

This is definitely a big event that shocked the Xinguo Imperial Court, and if the blood wolf pack is not eliminated, this official road will probably be completely abandoned.

Although the blood wolf is cruel and thirsty for killing, it is extremely cunning by nature, and it seems to sense that the young swordsman is not easy to deal with, so he just launched an encirclement and did not rush forward.

Even the blood wolf in the back was still gnawing on the flesh and blood on the ground, as if he wanted to have a full meal before thinking about the two people in front of him.

Chu Jing's caravan came at this time, neither early nor late, it was exactly this time.

"Chu Jing, look, there are so many blood wolves there, and there are two people around them!" Shen Xiaoye shouted anxiously, and the red horse under the seat also neighed, ready to rush down at any time.

Of course, Chu Jing also saw it, and even had some heart palpitations, this is not a horror movie, the scene of wolves running rampant is full of shock.

"What should I do?" Chu Jing Mumu turned his head and asked Shen Xiaoye.

"What else can I do, rush down to save people!"

As he spoke, Shen Xiaoye straddled the red steed, pulled out the autumn water, like a red cloud, and rushed down.

After the shock, Chu Jing of course would not let Shen Xiaoye face hundreds of evil wolves alone, and hurriedly ordered the two black water knights: "Protect Shen Xiaoye, save people by the way, kill as many as you can!"

The Blackwater Knight is still as cold as ever, whether it is a blood wolf eating people, or facing a blood wolf pack. The two horses did not ride, but galloped over, and the speed was better than that of the red horse.
