Liu Sheng was distressed.

This distress did not stem from the defeat in the war against Chen.

Although Cui Ting's defeat made him panic for a while, surprisingly, the palace did not mean to blame, but once again transferred a large number of people to his subordinates, and let him start to arrange the forces in Great Xia. There is even a faint meaning of promoting it to the Ten Halls of Yama.

From the initial confusion, Liu Sheng quickly came back to his senses, Cui Ting's defeat made this Guozhu Lord need Liu Sheng's secret support more and more, and the matter of Senluo Palace's expansion of the foundation in Great Xia naturally did not dare to slack off, and everything went smoothly to Liu Sheng's expectations.

As for whether it is cost-effective to exchange the destruction of 200,000 elite infantry soldiers for such a situation, it is far beyond Liu Sheng's consideration.

What really bothered Liu Sheng was his half-demon body.

Although his half-demon body has brought great benefits to his cultivation, it has only been two years since Gu Lin woke up, but his cultivation has soared all the way to the sixth realm of the earth, but the problem is that his half-demon body is not complete, and he still lacks the most critical thing, as for what it is, the palace is secretive about it and refuses to mention it, which also causes him to need to devour a huge amount of demon qi on time to maintain his life.

However, the Senluo Hall is a very large but equally hierarchical place.

The various organizations under him are distinct, among which the Gu Forest, which is responsible for captive demon breeding and Shura, is distributed in the land of Qingzhou in the Great Zhou, and the demonic energy that Liu Sheng needs is transported from here to Great Xia.

Originally, with the beginning of trade between the Great Zhou and the Great Xia, although the censorship of the border was strict, such a thing was not difficult, as long as the price was appropriate, a large number of merchants were willing to do this transaction.

But a month ago, something happened.

Several caravans responsible for transporting demon pills died in the Antler Plains between the Xia and Zhou Kingdoms, and at first Liu Sheng didn't think it was an ordinary bandit. But gradually, he found that those gangsters seemed to be only targeting the caravan that wanted to carry the demon pill, and the methods were ruthless, leaving no room for life, and they didn't care about the property carried by the caravan, but just took away all the demon pills hidden under it.

For this reason, Liu Sheng specially sent several elite purple-clothed Shura envoys to disguise themselves as caravans to investigate the situation, but the other party didn't seem to care about the origin of these Shura envoys, and accepted them all.

Liu Sheng, who realized the seriousness of the problem, tried to ask for help from the headquarters of Senluo Palace, but it seemed that because of the position of Tiance Mansion, the internal personnel of Senluo Hall were frequently transferred, and he didn't care about Liu Sheng's affairs, so he only gave him four big words on the reply - make your own decision.

Seeing that the number of demon pills stored in Great Xia was getting smaller and smaller, Liu Sheng had to temporarily put down the matter in his hand and decided to learn about it himself.

......

Xu Han is not a drunken person.

But when this dart head revealed his appearance in front of everyone, Xu Han couldn't help but be stunned.

The dart head is a woman.

Dressed in a bright red leather tight-fitting suit, except for the key parts, the snow-white abdomen, jade-like arms, and even most of the places above the calves are extremely open.

He looks like he is in his early twenties, with bright eyebrows, a high nose bridge, glamorous lips, and long black hair tied into a ponytail, which hangs straight down.

Rao has seen Xu Han, who is as beautiful as Ye Hongjian and Fang Ziyu, and he has to admit that the woman in front of him can be regarded as a stunning.

What surprised Xu Han was the contrast between the pretty appearance of this woman and the image of a tall horse like Huma. Xu Han quickly recovered from this contrast, and once again concentrated on counting the goods on the carriage.

Those young guys obviously had the same surprise as Xu Han, and when they saw the woman's appearance clearly, they stood in place one by one, which can be described as dumbfounded.

Even Boss Gan, who had already seen this woman, also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then put away the coveting color in his eyes, quickly won it, and said with a sycophantic face: "Miss Zhen is still living safely?

It was only before the four words of the adult spit out, and the woman in red glared at the other party fiercely, and the face of Boss Gan, who knew that he was speechless, was stunned, and then he stopped talking.

"Call a few of them to me. The woman surnamed Zhen looked at a few people in the distance at that time, and said again, but her body sat down by the fire very casually.

The four big men, including Huma, rushed over like docile sheep and sat down beside the woman, but there was not a trace of the usual power in their eyes.

Although Xu Han on the side was counting the goods, the corner of his eye was secretly watching here, not because of anything else, but because he needed this caravan to cover up the last pass in Great Xia, knowing their plan, Xu Han could also make some plans for himself.

However, he found some very interesting phenomena.

It stands to reason that Boss Gan and the dart team are in a master-employment relationship, but it can be seen that Boss Gan's performance at the moment is as if he is the servant, and he is almost kneeling down to call the other party aunt and grandmother.

Xu Han secretly wondered about the strange relationship between the two parties, and Boss Gan also told the woman all the news he heard from the mouths of those foot merchants today.

"You mean a few more caravans died on the Antler Plains?" the female dart head frowned, even the distressed look fell on her face with a different flavor, making the guys on the side unable to take their eyes off.

Boss Gan knew the skills of this female evil star, and hurriedly stared at those guys viciously, and then said: "But it's not! You said that if they wanted money, they didn't take a penny, saying that the goods of those caravans were clearly and well placed there, but the people died completely." Isn't there really some kind of monster that specializes in harming people?"

When he said this, Boss Gan's face was full of relatives, obviously receiving such news one after another, and he was secretly a little weak in his heart.

"What, Boss Gan wants to turn back?" the female darthead's eyes suddenly narrowed when she heard this, "You have to think clearly, delay the time of this goods, can you afford this price?"

As soon as these words came out, the four extremely tall dart masters also had cold eyes, and looked at the corners of Boss Gan's mouth showing a smiling color.

"This..."Boss Gan's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "How dare you do this, I just want to discuss with Miss Zhen whether to change this route, I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case..."

The chill on the face of the female dart head who heard this slowly dissipated, and she stretched out her hand and said, "Bring the map." ”

At that moment, Nahuma hurriedly took a map made of sheepskin from his bosom and handed it to the woman.

The woman skillfully took the parchment map and unfolded it in front of her, and immediately looked at it.

"This is the usual route through the antlers, and it only takes five days to reach Great Xia. ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to make a gesture on the map, pointing out to everyone what the route looked like, and then dropped her finger on a certain place on the map: "And this is the place where the calamities mentioned by the foot-walking merchants took place, and the previous ones, almost all of them happened within a radius of five miles." ”

"If we want to get around here, we have to avoid the Antler Plains and take a detour from the egret forest at the foot of Yaqi Mountain, which will take more than ten days to go back and forth. ”

At this point, the woman's words stopped and looked up at Boss Gan.

The middle-aged man was stunned at that time, and was about to ask why he stopped, but suddenly came to his senses.

"I understand, Miss Zhen can rest assured, Zhen will not be stingy with a penny that should be given!" he hurriedly piled up a smile on his face and said so.

It's just that this was an extremely flattering word, but it didn't bring the effect that Boss Gan expected.

"What are you talking about, did my girl send you that little money?" After hearing this, Hu Ma on the side immediately stood up, and scolded at Gan Lao is face full of anger.

"Uh..." Boss Gan didn't think about why his kindness would attract such treatment, but he didn't dare to express half a point of dissatisfaction, but looked at Hu Ma with some puzzlement, and asked cautiously: "That... What do you mean..."

"The egret forest is no better than the antler plain, the terrain is complex and mostly mountains and forests, your carriage is difficult to walk, and many places may need manpower to carry it, in this process, can you ensure that those goods can be good and not damaged?"

"This..."Boss Gan's face changed when he heard this, and he hesitated a little, but he quickly weighed the weight between life and goods. "Miss Zhen rest assured, I will let the guys do this beautifully. ”

"I hope so. Hearing this, the woman nodded, but was noncommittal.

It's just that Huma's scolding made the surrounding guys look sideways at this place, obviously resentful of what happened to their master.

"Be careful that Lao Tzu throws you to feed the wolves in this wilderness where there is no village in front of you and no store in the back!" Huma, who was obviously a violent temper, shouted loudly when he saw the eyes of the people, and the men hurriedly withdrew their gaze as if they were electrocuted at that time.

Only one person was still watching.

Such a gaze seemed tantamount to a provocation in the eyes of Huma, who was accustomed to being powerful, and his eyes were fixed, and he looked at that place with a fierce light, but he saw that the person looking at this place was the so-called dart master who had been invited by Boss Gan before.

In Huma's opinion, the boy with a black cat who is silent and silent is a charlatan with a sword on his back.

Originally, he was extremely disdainful of his heart, and he spoke aggressively several times, but the other party was extremely obedient, which made Huma more and more convinced that this young man was a soft persimmon that was useless, and seeing that he was still looking at this, Huma thought that he had finally found an opportunity to repair this young man, and he suddenly laughed.

"What, boy, do you think there's something wrong with what my boss said?" Huma asked, his tone was frivolous, but the two casserole-sized fists were clenched, thinking that as long as Xu Han said half a word, he would greet the other party without hesitation.

However, thinking of Xu Han's cowardly performance along the way, Huma didn't think that the other party dared to do this, thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Of course not. And as he expected, after hearing this, the young man shook his head decisively for the first time.

Huma secretly cursed in his heart, and his clenched fist was about to withdraw from his hand, and he was about to scold two words in his mouth, but then the young man's voice sounded again.

"It's not that there's anything wrong, it's totally wrong. The young man said calmly, and seemed to feel that such a statement was a little inappropriate, so he added another sentence at the end.

"The kind of mistake that is very wrong. ”
