After less than half a day's stay, Guo Xiaoshi led his small group of mercenaries, sat in the eight-legged demon, and embarked on a journey with the caravan of the Feather Flower Alliance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The number of mercenaries is not large, only fifteen people, and an eight-legged demon has already installed them all.

In addition to Guo Xiaoshi's original five-person team, there were two other five-person teams with him, although those two teams had their own captains, but in this mission, everyone had to take Guo Xiaoshi as the leader and follow his orders.

Compared with the other two captains, Guo Xiaoshi was young enough to be the sons of those two, but they did not dare to underestimate Guo Xiaoshi because of this, at least on the surface, they all showed obedience to Guo Xiaoshi's orders. Because they all know that Guo Xiaoshi is the one who killed Hao Huang in the ring, in this industry where strength is respected, Guo Xiaoshi's "record" is enough to gain their respect, and even awe.

"The number of caravans is two hundred, and there are more than forty eight-legged demons, boss, we don't have enough manpower!"

Most of the others closed their eyes to recuperate, while Chen Li sat beside Guo Xiaoshi and reported to Guo Xiaoshi in a low voice.

He has done a very good job of "intelligence work", and he has only been circling the caravan for half a day today, and he has already figured out the situation of the caravan, and he has figured out who is in charge of the caravan.

Compared with Bazai and Li Yong, Chen Li is obviously a big step stronger in terms of public relations and communication.

Guo Xiaoshi thought about it, he was not worried about the manpower problem: "Don't be afraid, the Feather Flower Union has been doing business in this area for so long, and the road is all good, there should not be too much trouble, even if there is any emergency, they have their own escort team." ”

"Convoys?" Chen Li snorted lightly and said, "Those people in the escort team didn't like us, I went to greet them just now, but they didn't even look at me, they didn't even pay attention to me, they ignored me completely, making me look like their enemy." ”

Guo Xiaoshi was stunned and asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"I inquired, originally the price of the Feather Flower Union to the escort team was 50,000, but now they signed an order with us, and they immediately reduced it by 20,000, so we are here to grab food."

After listening to Chen Li's words, Guo Xiaoshi somewhat understood that the escort team of the trading house had been employed by the Yuhua Union for a long time, and now that these mercenaries had taken away some of the money as soon as they came, they must have been unhappy, and they would not delve into whether this was directly related to the mercenaries.

"Leave them alone, as long as you go to Bai Qinchuan, the caravan will be changed to a waterway, it should be no problem."

Guo Xiaoshi said a word to Chen Li, and turned his eyes to look in the distance ahead, although at this time it was all land, but he knew that the end of the land was Bai Qinchuan.

Due to the war, most of the overland trade routes in and out of the Baijiao area have been completely abandoned. Leaving aside the regular troops of the Union Army and the Purple Army, let's just say that those guerrillas and indigenous bandit armies, large and small, are entrenched all over the Baijiao, like the sands of the Ganges, and there are countless of them. As long as they see a caravan, they will try their best to stop the robbery, so the safest trade route now is to take the waterway, that is, to enter and exit Baijiao through the Bai Qin River.

The caravan was heading in the direction of the Baiqin River, and would leave Baijiao by boat from the port there, and finally disembark at the port of Xia Cheng in the lower reaches of the Great River.

Guo Xiaoshi pondered for a while, then turned his head to Chen Li and asked, "Is that fat man in the caravan?" ”

Chen Li nodded: "Yes, it's in the black eight-legged demon in the middle of the caravan." The fat man's name was Shan Qingcheng, and he heard from the porter of the caravan that he was one of the bosses of the caravan, and he was in charge of the business of the entire Baijiao area, so it was impossible for him to leave the caravan behind. ”

Guo Xiaoshi glanced at the black eight-legged demon not far away, and said, "Keep an eye on him, tell me immediately if there is any movement." ”

Chen Li nodded vigorously: "I know, boss." ”

Since coming to Yuhua Union, the middle-aged fat man has not come out to meet Guo Xiaoshi, it stands to reason that Guo Xiaoshi arrested the middle-aged fat man that day and sent it to Chen Changsui, the middle-aged fat man should hold a grudge, but at this time, he didn't show up at all, which couldn't help but make Guo Xiaoshi feel a little strange.

Two days later, I finally came to the shore of the White Qin River.

In Guo Xiaoshi's imagination, Bai Qinchuan should be a big river, just like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the earth's lifetime, but when he really stood in front of Bai Qinchuan, he realized that he was wrong, because Bai Qinchuan is not like a river, but more like an ocean across the land.

However, the waters of this "ocean" are somewhat peculiar, because the light of the stars in the sky is all yellow-brown and dazzling to the eye.

Standing in front of the harbor, facing the wind blowing from the depths of the river, listening to the waves crashing against the boulder embankment one after another, making a burst of hard and crisp sounds, people's hearts seem to be opened.

Guo Xiaoshi, along with other mercenaries, waited in the port with the main stream, waiting for the steward of the caravan to arrange for everyone to board the ship. Looking at the big ship in front of him, at the busy caravan stewards, and at the eight-legged demons who were lining up to get on the ship, he suddenly felt that this mission was really too easy to do. According to the information inquired by Chen Li, as long as you get on the boat, you can reach the destination Xiacheng Port in less than three days by water, and when the task is handed over, it will be completed.

If you can come across such a list from time to time in the future, wouldn't it be sent?

Thinking about it like this, Guo Xiaoshi couldn't help but smile, some things can't be repeated, how can there be such a thing of pie dropping often.

"Rooms are limited, so stay on the ground floor!"

After boarding the ship, the caravan steward arranged each room, and when it was the mercenary's turn, he waved his hand and arranged them directly to the bottom floor.

"The bottom floor?" Hearing the words of the caravan steward, Chen Li frowned: "What's going on?" The ground floor is a place where the goods are placed, how to live in people? ”

The caravan steward glared at him and said, "What? Don't think the place is good? You guys were added temporarily, we didn't prepare, and now the other positions are full except for the bottom floor, so you can do it yourself! After a slight pause, he snorted coldly: "Don't say that people can't live at the bottom, those boat slaves live at the bottom!" ”

"Boat slaves?" Chen Li's face changed when he heard this, and he was obviously really angry: "You let us live with the boat slaves?" ”

The caravan steward showed a look of "what can you do with me", and snorted: "You can do it yourself, forget it if you don't live!" ”

"You ......"

Chen Li was about to step forward and drag the caravan steward, when a hand reached out from behind and grabbed him.

He turned his head and saw that it was Guo Xiaoshi, so he suddenly calmed down a little and stopped his feet.

Guo Xiaoshi had been listening silently to the conversation between Chen Li and the caravan steward just now, and he knew what was going on.

Here, there is still slavery, and the group of ship slaves is a group of people who sell themselves into slavery to work as coolies for the shipowners, and they are usually synonymous with lowliness and dirtiness. The caravan steward asked Guo Xiaoshi and them to live with the ship slaves, obviously deliberately stirring up trouble.

Guo Xiaoshi glanced at the caravan steward deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, it only takes three days to come and go, it doesn't matter where you live, the bottom is the bottom!" ”

The caravan steward recognized Guo Xiaoshi and knew that he was the leader of a group of mercenaries, and when he saw him come out, he couldn't help but show a hint of a playful smile in his eyes, and wanted to see Guo Xiaoshi's appearance of jumping in anger in front of everyone, but he didn't expect things to be completely different from what he expected, Guo Xiaoshi not only did not get angry, but said such a sentence with an indifferent face, which couldn't help but make him feel like a punch in the void.

The caravan steward hadn't come back to his senses yet, but Chen Li was anxious, and said to Guo Xiaoshi in a low voice: "Boss, this guy is the uncle of the captain of the escort team, he is deliberately embarrassing us for the sake of the escort team's, we can't ...... it."

Before Chen Li could finish speaking, Guo Xiaoshi waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "This list is so big, we can't take their money for nothing, let's just take some hardship to make money!" ”

Hearing Guo Xiaoshi say this, Chen Li couldn't say anything, he only glared at the caravan steward hatefully.

"Let's go!"

Guo Xiaoshi waved his hand and led a kind of mercenary towards the bottom floor, never looking at the gloomy caravan steward again.
