Chapter Ninety-Nine: Selection
Lao Zhang stared at Liu Ming, who had turned into a corpse, and there was a black hole in the center of his eyebrows, and the red and white things bubbled outward, covering his dead eyes, and he couldn't tell the hideous.
Long Yuan casually took out a small porcelain bottle, poured white powder from it and sprinkled it on Liu Ming's corpse.
Snort –
As soon as the white powder touched Liu Ming's corpse, it made the sound of boiling oil and water, and at the same time, billowing white smoke rose to envelop Liu Ming's corpse.
The terrifying sound gradually disappeared, and the white smoke also dispersed, and the old Zhang Yinying and the two who stretched their necks to look at each other shivered when they saw the scene inside.
I saw that the original location of Liu Ming's body had been replaced by a pool of stinking black liquid. The autumn wind blows, and the black liquid is rapidly reduced under the action of air drying, and it can be seen that the black liquid will disappear completely in a short time.
Taking advantage of the fact that the black liquid had not disappeared, Long Yuan hurriedly squatted down and carefully collected a small amount of black liquid with a porcelain bottle.
Yin Ying, who was still very open in front of Long Yuan before, was also shocked by Long Yuan's methods and became restrained, not to mention Lao Zhang, who was already in awe of Long Yuan, now he didn't dare to raise his head and shrank in a corner.
"Goo. Yin Ying swallowed hard, "Great, my lord, you were ...... just now"
"Hehe, don't be nervous, this is just some small means of the Heavenly Mandate Master, it's not worth mentioning. Long Yuan waved his hand and explained comfortably.
"Destiny Master?"
Yin Ying's eyes bloomed with anticipation, but after the inadvertent afterglow swept the black pattern on his arm, his eyes began to darken.
Long Yuan chuckled and touched Yin Ying's unkempt hair and said, "Hehe, don't be discouraged, boy, I said I would help you." ”
"Hmm!" Yin Ying nodded heavily.
"All right, you all go and rest, and we'll set off as soon as it's daylight. Long Yuan said to Lao Zhang and Yin Ying.
"But these goods ......" the dutiful Lao Zhang pointed to the five large cargo boxes, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Leave it to me. Long Yuan's sleeve robe waved, and the five large cargo boxes were swooped into the jade ring, "Lao Zhang, the He family needs a loyal caravan, I hope you can help me pick out the right candidate among these people." ”
"I will live up to Steward Long. Lao Zhang bowed and responded.
Long Yuan nodded with satisfaction and turned around and walked towards the bedroom, ignoring Lao Zhang and Yin Ying.
"Hey, old man Zhang, why do you call the adult the dragon butler?" With the night, Yin Ying's crisp voice sounded in the small courtyard.
......
"Zhang Tou'er, why is our cargo gone!" The caravan guards who had just woken up with a hangover shook their heads and pushed the door out, and when they saw that the cargo box was not there, their heads were instantly sober and no longer drunk and hazy.
Lao Zhang, who was hiding in the shadows, evaluated these caravan guards one by one, especially the first one who came to his senses and shouted at him, Lao Zhang couldn't stop nodding.
Seeing that Lao Zhang didn't show up for a long time, the guards became like ants on a hot pot, and they were so anxious that a few people even began to shirk their responsibilities and quarrel with each other.
Seeing this scene, Lao Zhang wanted to rush out and beat these people violently, but he finally held back.
"It's strange, there are no traces of a fight around here, and there are no ruts, we shouldn't have been touched by ghosts, but why are the cargo boxes and Lao Zhang gone?" one of the guards stepped out of the crowd and came to the place where the carriage was parked, trying to find useful clues.
A guard who didn't need to be white leaned against the door frame, tilted his head and touched his chin and said: "What's the fuss, have you forgotten Steward Long, he is a Heavenly Destiny Master, he wants to steal everything under his nose, how can it be so simple, I think it was Steward Long who used a fairy spell to hide these containers." ”
As he spoke, he raised his chin and nodded at the bedroom where Long Yuan lived, signaling that Long Yuan was inside.
"That's right, Steward Long is a Heavenly Destiny Master, what else do we have to be afraid of!"
One of the guards, who was arguing with his companions before, slapped him and said suddenly.
Lao Zhang took out a pen and paper and wrote down the names of the three people who had just performed outstandingly, and then said in his heart: These three people are alert, calm, and sharp, not like reckless and incompetent, but they can be of great use, as for the rest of the people, hey, let me observe and observe!
The protruding performance of the three also made the chaotic caravan guards find their backbones, and they all quieted down and waited for the three to come up with ideas.
"Ahem!"
Lao Zhang saw that it was almost time for him to come forward, put away the pen and paper and pretended to cough twice, and then walked out of the shadows.
"Zhang Tou'er!"
Seeing the comer, the guards shouted in surprise, and then surrounded them and began to talk about the loss of the cargo box.
Only the three people just now were quite calm, standing motionless, looking at each other, as if they had some kind of consensus, only to see them nod imperceptibly.
Lao Zhang, who was surrounded by the Zhou people, took in the performance of the three of them, and his appreciation for the three of them added a little more in his heart.
"You don't need to panic, our goods are safe now, and it was the dragon steward who used immortal magic to hide them. ”
Lao Zhang reassured everyone.
"Hey, why is Liu Ming gone?"
A guard who was usually close to Liu Ming suddenly shouted.
"yes, yes, I didn't see this guy early this morning, and I don't know where this kid went?"
The other guard chimed in.
Regarding Liu Ming's disappearance, Lao Zhang had already thought of a set of rhetoric last night, he cleared his throat and said: "Liu Ming specially looked for Steward Long and me last night, he said that he had grown up in Beisha since he was a child, and he never thought of leaving Beisha Province, so he asked Steward Long and me to say goodbye.
Yesterday at noon, the food and wine that everyone was invited to eat and drink should be regarded as a parting meal, as the so-called people have their own ambitions, we can't force it, so Steward Long and I agreed to his departure. ”
Because what Lao Zhang said was clear-eyed, and there was Long Yuan in it, everyone didn't think much about it and quickly accepted Lao Zhang's rhetoric, but everyone still felt sorry for Liu Ming's departure in their hearts.
After all, the business also has its rules, the first thing is the credibility, since you have agreed to the employer's business, you can't easily leave or give up halfway, if you resign halfway, the employer has the right not to pay him.
But the real loss is not only that, resigning halfway through will become a stain on the caravan guard profession, and in this small guard circle, it is likely that he will not have an employer to use it in the future.
In the eyes of everyone, Liu Ming's choice is to completely stop doing this business, so everyone will feel sorry for him, after all, most of the people who run business guards are hard-working people, if they don't have the skills to make a living, then they can only go home to farm or go to a certain family to see the family care.
"Okay, okay, don't be sentimental, the path of life is his own choice, since he has chosen, don't regret it. Lao Zhang's sonorous words diluted a lot of sad atmosphere, "You all hurry up and pack up, we'll set off after too early!"
Hearing Lao Zhang's words, everyone dispersed in a hurry, leaving only the three people before and Lao Zhang.
Crunch –
The door of Long Yuan's bedroom was slowly opened, and the refreshed Long Yuan walked out with Yin Ying, and his black eyes fell on several people like a deep pool.
