Section 109 Pathfinding
Su Mou led more than a dozen slaves selected in the night and was heading towards Nanyuan City.
The goods they pledged were all worthless jumping grass.
Of course, the valuable goods in the caravan would not be handed over to Su Mou for transportation at night.
He asked Su Mou to lead the team to go to business, but it was just a move to ask for directions, and handed Su Mou some old, weak, sick and tattered goods, even if it was lost, it would not matter!
Su Mou's eyes flashed with coldness, and he secretly observed the dozen or so slaves around him.
On the surface, these slaves were helping Su Mou share the pressure of goods and transport.
But secretly, they are monitoring Su Mou's movements.
These people are ordinary people, and they are run by an old slave who is over seventy years old.
This old slave is a famous spirit, but his cultivation is only a high-grade realm.
Because he has been by the side of the night for a long time, serving tea and water, washing clothes and taking off his socks, he is all loyal and conscientious, and he was exceptionally promoted to the head of the slave by the night, and he is in charge of the big and small slaves around the night.
This trip, it was said that Su Mou was in charge, but in fact, the slaves were all under the orders of this old slave.
The old slave was old and sophisticated, and he had the wisdom of management, and he privately instigated the relationship between the slaves and Su Mou, and repeatedly instigated the slaves to contradict Su Mou.
And on the surface, he always jumped out to be a peacemaker, reprimanding those slaves and quelling reaction.
After some manipulation, the old slave was deeply respected by Su Mou, and his status couldn't help but rise in a straight line.
Every time Su Mou decided to stop and drive the team, he had to ask the old slave first before making a claim.
It can be seen that there is no need to say more about who the core of the team is!
Of course, Su Mou is just putting on a show, how can he not see the tricks of the old slave.
Playing smart in front of Su Mou, the seventy-year-old slave is still a little tender!
Because Su Mou has been deliberately forbearing, trying his best to perform, and cooperating with the old slave, the process of the team moving forward is quite calm.
A team of more than a dozen people marched unhurriedly towards Nanyuan City.
The distance is also getting closer and closer to Nanyuan Mountain!
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the moon tonight is exceptionally round, as big as a disk.
Su Mou glanced up at the moonlight and let out a sneer gloomily.
He slowly walked up to the old slave and said respectfully, "Old butler, we are less than thirty miles away from Nanyuan Mountain!"
When the old slave heard that Su Mouzun called him the old housekeeper, he was very satisfied, and his face naturally showed a little arrogance, his rotten waist was lying down, and his body was almost shrunk into a ball.
After thinking for a moment, I heard the old slave cough twice, and said slowly: "Don't worry, let's go over directly, the Nanyuan Mountain family has a big business, and it must not look down on our worthless goods." β
The worried look on Su Mou's face did not fade because of the old slave's relief, but became more solemn!
He arched his hand and said to the old slave: "Old butler, there is a word below, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
The old slave's dim eyes moved to Su Mou little by little, and he stared at him hotly: "Little brother said bluntly. β
Hearing this, Su Mou paused, attached his ear to the old slave's side, and said in a low voice: "I know a path leading to Nanyuan City, this path can bypass Nanyuan Mountain, and you don't have to worry about being plundered by bandits from Nanyuan Mountain!"
"Oh?" The old slave's eyes rolled, and the old twilight's sunken eyes seemed to flash with light!
He hurriedly asked, "Is this true?"
"It's true!"
Su Mou nodded heavily and continued: "Let's walk seven or eight miles to the southwest, and we can see this path, this road is called Huarong Road, which can lead directly to Nanyuan City!"
The old slave immediately pondered.
If Su Mou's words are true, then he has made a great contribution to the caravan!
He could have said to Yezhong that this road was discovered by him, and it had nothing to do with Su Mou's half a dime.
After all, he is the real head of this operation!
When the time comes, go to the middle of the night to ask for merit and reward, and there will be a lot of rewards!
The old slave's eyes lit up instantly, and fame and fortune had already overwhelmed him, and he immediately decided: "Take this Huarong road! β
Su Mou smiled, ran forward, commanded the team, changed the direction to the southwest, and headed towards Huarong Road.
In a short time, they were already outside the valley of Huarong Road.
As Su Mou said, it is true that he has only walked seven or eight miles.
The old slave immediately ordered the team to stop.
He glanced up at the towering mountain, a little worried.
The old slave asked Su Mou: "Little brother, are you sure this road can work?"
Su Mou patted his chest and promised: "Old housekeeper, please rest assured, I am a native of Nanzhen, I do some small business in Nanzhen, if I can buy some goods at a low price in Nanzhen, and then sell them to Nanyuan City at a high price, wouldn't I be able to make more money." β
"A small trader like me, naturally wants to fight this crooked idea, so it is inevitable to explore the way around, this Huarong Road I have long discovered, every time I buy goods from Nanzhen, and then sell to Nanyuan City, I take this road, it is very safe, absolutely foolproof!"
What Su Mou said was reasonable, and he swore that the old slave had already believed it for seven or eight points.
But he still had a hint of cunning, and he didn't leave immediately, but looked at Su Mou with a suspicious gaze: "Little brother, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this mission is very important, and the Lord in the night personally ordered me to wait, and we have to be cautious to deliver the goods safely." β
As he spoke, the old slave summoned a red rope from his spiritual body that was so small that it was difficult to see with the naked eye!
He tied the red rope around Su Mou's waist, and held the other end in his hand.
He said to Su Mou: "Little brother, I have to trouble you in this matter, go and explore the way!"
Su Mou looked at the red rope around his waist in confusion, and asked the old slave, "This is..."
The old slave was happy and explained to Su Mou: "My red rope is a first-class spiritual weapon, called a thread!"
"It can extend a distance of 500 meters, and if you are 500 meters away and still be able to move freely, I can feel it. β
"When the time comes, if you are not in danger from 500 meters away, pull this red rope, and we will follow. β
"When we meet, you continue to walk forward for five hundred meters, and if you don't encounter any danger, you pull the red rope again, and we will follow. β
"Repeatedly, we can get out of the valley safely!"
"What do you think, little brother. The old slave stared at Su Mou with a smile.
At this point, the old slave was still vigilant, worthy of being the slave chief promoted in the night.
In fact, this thread is the means used by the old slaves to restrain the slaves.
At night, he was around the slaves and slaves with a thread, and then reconnoitred their movements.
If someone leaves his post without permission, the first line will be telescopic, and the old slave will naturally feel it, and immediately attack it!
Now that this method has been applied to Su Mou, I really don't know whether to call the old slave smart, or to scold him for being stupid.
If Su Mou really wants to crack the thread, there are at least dozens of ways, and it is still too naΓ―ve to use such low-level means to clamp Su Mou.
However, Su Mou did not refuse, he agreed, and led the old slave to the valley with a thread tied around his waist.
Woo woo, the night wind blows at the bottom of the valley, and it is extremely cold!
Su Mou took square steps and walked forward steadily, and at the same time, the red rope around his waist was getting longer and longer, and it could be extended continuously as the old slave said.
Su Mou glanced at the thread, smiled, and didn't care.
After walking three hundred meters, Su Mou's figure completely broke away from the old slave's vision and melted into the darkness at the bottom of the valley.
A hundred meters further, the wind around Su Mou was extremely harsh, and it became more and more intense!
Huhuhu~
There was a faint sound of explosions in the wind and waves, and Su Mou stopped.
It was at this moment that a strong wind swept across his face, blowing up his black hair like a waterfall.
Then, there was a silver light blooming in the darkness!
The silver light stayed at Su Mou's throat, and he never moved forward a bit.
A familiar face appeared.
"Brother Su Mou?" the visitor frowned and was taken aback.
And Su Mou laughed out loud as if he had expected it: "Brother Han Long, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your demeanor is still the same~ Your gentian gun is getting sharper and sharper!"
Su Mou's Adam's apple rolled and glanced at the gentian gun in front of his throat.
Han Long hurriedly withdrew his gun and said with an embarrassed smile: "Who did I think, it turned out to be Brother Su Mou, what a offense, Brother Su Mou don't be surprised!"
Su Mou waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then he said urgently: "Brother Han Long, this is not the place to speak, there are people watching behind me." β
Han Long glanced at Su Mou's rear and nodded understandingly.
Su Mou then said: "Brother Han Long, you have to pay close attention to Huarong Dao's movements these days, and next, the caravan may go from this road!"
"Oh, how did Brother Su Mou know?" Han Long asked with interest.
Su Mou glanced at the darkness behind him, and spoke a little faster: "I have already entered the caravan, maybe I can have some impact on the route of the caravan, in short, after Brother Han goes back, quickly inform Brother Leopard, it is best to let him ambush Huarong Road in person, the scale of the caravan is a bit huge!"
"I can't elaborate on the specific situation for the time being, there will be no caravan coming today, you can go back to the mountain directly. β
Hearing this, Han Long nodded, silently remembering every word Su Mou said in his heart.
He thought about it, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and snorted towards the mountain: "Pang Hu is still on it, I'll go and call him back." β
Su Mou also chuckled: "The two eldest brothers should go back to recuperate earlier, and there will be a big battle to fight next!"
"Brother Su Mou, take care!"
"Brother Han, take care!"
The two hurriedly said goodbye, and Su Mou hastily walked forward another hundred meters before pulling the red rope.
The old slaves and slaves followed, and the team regrouped.
Su Mou smiled slowly and said, "I'll just say it, it's very safe here, and there will be no dangerous old housekeepers!"
The old slave glanced around, and it was dark all around.
Although it was a little eerie, there really wasn't any unusual movement.
With his ability, he naturally couldn't detect Han Long's traces.
So the old slave nodded with satisfaction, and still followed the rules to let Su Mou go to explore the way, and he and the slaves stayed and waited.
In this way, the team stopped for 500 meters, and at dawn, they entered Nanyuan City unharmed.
