However, to Su Mu's slight disappointment, the martial artists in this world obviously did not have the habit of indiscriminately displaying their fighting skills. During the entire escort journey, everyone just cautiously followed the wagon, and did not make the slightest move.

Even at the same time that Su Mu was secretly observing others and focusing on everyone's actions.

An extremely abrupt voice suddenly appeared in Su Mu's ears:

"What are you looking at? Is there anything worth noting?"

Su Mu turned his head violently when he heard the voice, only to realize that at some point, a mercenary who was also a lone wanderer had already approached him, and Su Mu didn't even notice the existence of the other party.

Seeing that Su Mu was taken aback, the other party immediately apologized:

"I'm sorry, my name is Han Jun, and I'm also a lone wanderer who is not welcomed. I didn't mean to scare you just now, I just saw that your eyes kept wandering in the crowd, so I was a little curious...... Did you find anything interesting?"

As the other party spoke, he also extended his right hand in a friendly manner.

This kind of etiquette that originated from Su Mu's original world was not bad at all and was derived into the fantasy of the brain hole.

However, it was not until this moment that Su Mu finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.

I saw that the other party was a young man, only about twenty years old. And since he was able to do it silently, he directly approached Su Mu's side, which showed that he also had at least third-order strength.

Seeing this, Su Mu did not show any discoloration at all, and replied as usual:

"Actually, it wasn't anything, because it was my first time hiring, so I felt a little overwhelmed and just wanted to see how others were guarding against danger. ”

Obviously, Su Mu did not have the rank of wanderer, and it was not a secret among the mercenaries. Therefore, Su Mu did not hesitate, so he used this as a shield.

When the young mercenary named Han Jun heard this, he really didn't have any doubts, and he smiled again:

"It's not anything worth noting, although this shipment does look quite valuable, but with so many mercenaries around, I'm afraid the bandits won't choose such a hard bone to gnaw. Not to mention, you're smarter than most mercenaries, and you know how to hide at the back of the line. ”

Han Jun said as he looked at Su Mu with a mockery.

Obviously, Han Jun also knew that the end of the line was the ideal safe position.

And after this brief exchange, Su Mu and Han Jun have obviously confirmed each other that the other party and himself belong to the same sequence of "smart people".

And smart people like them not only don't have any intention of being in the limelight, but they also don't want to fight for their lives for the goods in front of them.

Therefore, in an instant, the two of them had quickly reached a certain consensus, and asked quietly almost in unison:

"What do you think the employer is hiding?"

......

Whether it is Su Mu or Han Jun, they are actually suspicious of the same problem now.

Because the employer side of this mission is simply too abnormal.

Even if you use a better tool to carry your cargo, it's okay.

However, if you still use the expensive Qi-powered carriage on the premise of knowing that the goods are valuable and susceptible, it will be too ostentatious in any case.

Even the old man of the employer specially paid another 30% commission before departure, which was even more like wanting to cover up, almost engraved the value of the goods on his face.

And considering the true origin of those bandits, Su Mu was almost certain that the bandits must have known this key information.

All the actions of the old man seemed to be contrary to his premise that he did not want to be robbed.

In a way, he almost seems to have the opposite intentions.

Therefore, at this time, Han Jun was looking at Su Mu's eyes seriously, and then slowly said his own guess: "Is it possible, our employer is originally ......?"

......

Before Han Jun finished speaking, a sharp and eager whistle echoed above the entire team.

Su Mu and Han Jun heard the sound and searched for it, and immediately found that the person who whistled was the archer in the five-person squad. He seemed to have noticed something unusual, so he immediately conveyed the warning.

And with the sound of this whistle, the group of men and horses lying in ambush on the side of the road saw that the surprise attack was hopeless, and simply stopped hiding their figures, and immediately rushed towards the Qi-powered carriage in the center like a tide.

And as Su Mu and Han Jun expected, the first to bear the impact in the raid were the few lone warriors who were originally standing on both sides of the carriage.

But fortunately, most of these mercenaries who dare to go their own way have good self-protection skills.

At this moment, facing the attack of the bandits, although the outermost lone wanderers fought on their own, they did not immediately fall into disadvantage for a while.

And in this momentary stalemate, the twin brothers in the center of the team, as well as the fully equipped five-person team, immediately showed their respective strengths.

I saw that the two brothers with a hundred-pound war hammer in their hands crashed into the bandit camp like brute bulls, and they didn't even do any defense at all, completely dancing the sledgehammer to tears, and shuttling through the bandits like a meat grinder.

On the other side, the five-person squad was firmly guarded near the carriage, and any bandits who crossed the mercenaries and wanted to raid the carriage were all neatly killed by them.

In just a moment, even Su Mu and Han Jun, who were at the end of the line, could not even pretend to go forward to join the confrontation, and the bandits had already retreated in horror.

An inexplicable ambush ushered in such a stunned ending in this even more inexplicable turn.

......

"It seems that your guess is undoubtedly correct. ”

Although a moment ago, Han Jun didn't have time to finish that guess. But it was obvious that Su Mu already knew the content of that guess.

Even the extremely strange attack in front of him confirmed the reasonableness of that speculation.

"We've only been on for half a day, so it's obviously hard to predict where we're going in time. And if someone had been eyeing us for a long time, they wouldn't have dared to attack just bandits of this quality. So there is only one explanation for the arrival of this group of bandits, and why they are so vulnerable. ”

Su Mu took a deep look at the person driving the carriage in the Qi power carriage, and then slowly turned around and said in a deep voice to Han Jun beside him:

"Our employer, he really used this cargo as bait and took the initiative to inform the nearby bandits of our whereabouts. And at the same time, it also concealed that the purpose of these mercenary levels recruited was ...... Let those low-level bandits continue to attack, and through the mouths of these routers, spread our itinerary further. ”

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

The anomaly of this escort is precisely the purpose of the employer himself...... It's so weird!
