Chapter 181: Caravan
"Zhenbang, hurry up and tell us about it!" Omega ignored Li Zhenbang's sarcasm and immediately changed the subject.
"Then I'll continue?" Li Zhenbang said with a wicked smile.
"Don't, Brother Zhenbang, don't listen to him, you start from the beginning, I think this story must be more exciting ahead. Long Miaomiao looked at Li Zhenbang with a pleading face, and when Li Zhenbang was telling the story, she had already come down from Li Zhenbang's back.
"Okay, listen to you, then let's start from the beginning, the first thing to talk about is the birth of the Monkey King......" Seeing Long Miaomiao happy again, Li Zhenbang finally breathed a sigh of relief and told "Journey to the West".
Li Zhenbang talked about the dark sky along the way, and when he talked about the rise, he would dance and dance twice. Li Zhenbang is not a qualified storyteller, in Lao Guo's words, he only listens to books, not idle white! However, Long Miaomiao and Omega are qualified storytellers, and they listen to them with relish.
Li Zhenbang has not studied "Journey to the West" in depth, so it is impossible for him to remember a copy of "Journey to the West" word for word, but in general, there is no problem. And Journey to the West is also a big story composed of many small stories, and the lack of a few or reversing a few does not have a great impact.
"If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next decomposition!" Li Zhenbang said that after the Monkey King returned to Huaguo Mountain after stealing Taishang Laojun's elixir, Li Jing led 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to surround Huaguo Mountain, and stopped.
"Brother Zhenbang, go on! Now is the time to be wonderful!" Long Miaomiao looked at Li Zhenbang with anticipation on his face.
"That's it, that's it! Zhenbang, go on! Don't break it down next time, let's talk about what happened to that Monkey King? Didn't you beat them to the ground?" Omega asked curiously.
"Please! Look at what time it is? It's already afternoon, it's past dinner, it's time for us to eat! The king doesn't have to wait for hungry soldiers to fight! You don't listen to the story, my mouth is dry and my throat is smoking! I'm also a human being, and I have to rest and rest!" Li Zhenbang's voice was already a little hoarse.
Long Miaomiao glanced at Li Zhenbang with some embarrassment, took out a kettle and handed it over.
"Brother Zhenbang, you drink some water first, let's simply eat some dry food at noon, rest and rest, and then you can continue to talk!"
"That's it, Zhenbang, you eat something at noon, and I'll make you a big meal in the evening, this is a forest, I'll catch you whatever you want to eat!"
"After you catch it, don't you have to let me roast it?" Li Zhenbang smiled helplessly.
"This ...... That one...... Those who can work hard!" Omega blushed for a rare time.
"Brother Zhenbang, I still want to hear it! I really want to know what's going on in the back!" Long Miao Miao shook Li Zhenbang's arm and said coquettishly.
"I'm afraid of you, let's take a rest on the side of the road!" Li Zhenbang stretched his body, stretched his waist, took out dry food and dried meat and gave some to Long Miaomiao, and then ate it.
Omega didn't have much affection for this dry food and jerky, so he didn't eat it. He will not starve to death if he does not eat, and the energy between heaven and earth can be used by him to replenish the energy consumed by his body.
The three of them were resting on a large rock by the side of the road when a caravan, apparently made up of small caravans, passed by a group of mercenaries.
It is difficult for many small chambers of commerce or small merchants to hire a large number of mercenaries to protect their goods on their own, after all, this requires a large amount of expenses, so many small chambers of commerce or small merchants will unite to form a large caravan and pay together to hire a group of mercenaries to protect their caravans.
Some large chambers of commerce have their own armed forces to protect their goods, such as gathering wealth and having their own armed forces. Some large chambers of commerce will temporarily hire some large mercenary groups to ensure the safety of goods due to security considerations.
The mercenaries in the convoy all looked at the three of them vigilantly, and did not slack off in the slightest because two of them were children.
Among them, several mercenaries stood on the side of the caravan, separating the caravan's carriage and horses from Li Zhenbang, and their hands were faintly pressed on the handle of the knife on their waists, always guarding the three of them. If the three people in front of them make dangerous moves, they will pull out their knives to resist at the first time.
Omega was naturally dismissive of them, and in his eyes, the attack power of these people could not even break his own defenses.
Long Miaomiao didn't have a good impression of the mercenary group, after all, the slave catching group was actually a kind of mercenary group.
Li Zhenbang looked at the mercenary group in front of him with some interest, this mercenary group was obviously well-trained and experienced, and the cooperation between the mercenaries was also very exquisite. Seeing that there are only a few people in front of them who are guarding against themselves, in fact, if they threaten them at the slightest, they will be involved in the whole body. As long as these few people block their first wave of attacks, the others will instantly surround themselves and others.
Of course, Li Zhenbang would not be idle to provoke the mercenary group on the opposite side, but just watched intently as they escorted the caravan away.
More than half an hour had passed since the caravan had passed, and Li Zhenbang had set off under Long Miaomiao's repeated urging. Leaving the journey meant that Li Zhenbang was about to start telling the story again, and Long Miaomiao and Omega were already a little impatient waiting for this moment.
The three of them walked forward slowly, but after all, the people who traveled lightly were faster than the convoy, so in less than two hours, the convoy that had passed before appeared not far in front of Li Zhenbang and the three.
The mercenaries in the convoy naturally also discovered Li Zhenbang and the three people who were following behind, and they were ready for battle as soon as possible.
During the escort process, you must not relax for a moment, you must know that the failure of the escort does not only mean the failure of the mission, but also the loss of life. And if the escort fails, it is equivalent to smashing your own signboard, if there is a record of the failure of the escort, it will be three points shorter than other mercenary groups, and you can only reduce the value of the task in the future.
Li Zhenbang and the three of them still passed the caravan unhurriedly under the vigilant eyes of the mercenaries, and Li Zhenbang was still spitting and talking about "Journey to the West".
"There is a spiritual root sacred tree in these five villages, which is rich in ginseng fruits. This ginseng fruit, also known as grass and pill, blooms for 3,000 years, bears fruit for 3,000 years, and matures for another 3,000 years, and can only be eaten for a total of 10,000 years. In these 10,000 years, a total of 30 ginseng fruits were produced. The ginseng fruit looks like a baby who is not yet three days old. You can live for 360 years if you smell it, and you can live for 47,000 years if you eat one......"
"Oh my God, if someone eats the ginseng fruit, wouldn't it be longer than the lifespan of a demonic beast!" Long Miaomiao exclaimed.
"Little brother, please stay!"
