Chapter 218: Attacked!
The blue-clothed young man just glanced at Ye Jian lightly, and then he was slightly disappointed, and immediately said to Wan Miaoyi beside him: "Forget it, little sister, let's recruit in Yonghe City for a few more days, I don't believe that I can't find anyone." ”
Seeing this, Wan Miaoyi immediately frowned, and stomped her feet angrily, their group had been in Yonghe City for half a month, and the group of hired warriors who broke the contract today was already the fourth batch in half a month.
Now the hired warriors in Lama City, who still doesn't know about the enmity between the Ten Thousand Merchant Alliance and the Black Wind Thieves, even if they wait any longer, I'm afraid that no one will continue to work.
Seeing the unwelcome look of the young man in blue, Ye Jian naturally would no longer stick his hot face to someone else's cold ass, so he immediately arched his hand and said, "Farewell!"
"Wait a minute," Wan Miaoyi glared at the young man in blue, and immediately stopped Ye Jian, "This son, the little woman has made amends on behalf of her brother here." ”
Seeing this, the young man in blue immediately wanted to stop him, but was directly stopped by the latter, "Big brother, we have been here for half a month, Yonghe City and that person who does not know how we have a feud with the Black Wind Thief, who will take the risk of taking this job?"
"So I decided that this trip is the end of recruiting mercenary warriors, and we must be on the road today, and it will be too late. ”
When the young man in blue heard the last sentence, his expression was slightly stunned, his face flashed with a trace of bitterness, and his fists were even more clenched.
"This son, my brother was offended a lot just now, and I ask for forgiveness. Wan Miaoyi caught up with Ye Jian and apologized.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Ye Jian said lightly, and immediately raised his left hand lightly, and suddenly a soft force directly supported Wan Miaoyi's body.
"It's so deep. Wan Miaoyi's pupils shrank, and she was happy in her heart, but she still didn't move on her face, "This son, there are still thousands of miles away from Quzhou, and bandits are rampant on the way, the little woman dares to invite the son to go with her, I don't know if the road is okay?"
Ye Jian's expression was cold, he glanced at Wan Miaoyi, who had a look of hope, glanced at the young man in blue, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't like hot faces and cold butts." ”
Wan Miaoyi suddenly glared at the young man in blue angrily, and the latter looked helpless, so he walked over directly and arched his hand: "This brother, Dao Xuan was offended a lot just now, and he still looks at Haihan!"
"Originally, I didn't mind walking with you, but I heard that you had a feud with the Black Wind Thieves, and you were targeted along the way. Ye Jian said lightly.
"The price of the hired son has doubled, this is twenty spirit stones, and after the matter is completed, he should pay the other half. Wan Miaoyi said happily, and immediately handed over ten spirit stones directly, she was not afraid that Ye Jian would shout a high price, but she was afraid that the other party would not bid.
Seeing this, his brother Wan Daoxuan's brows suddenly furrowed, Ye Jian's behavior made him feel very annoyed, and he immediately said unceremoniously, "This brother, I hope you accept these spirit stones, and you will be worthy of this price along the way." ”
Ye Jian raised his eyebrows, this guy is really the temper of the young master. Immediately put the spirit stone directly into the space ring, "Don't worry, since I have received your spirit stone, I will never do anything to escape." ”
Seeing this, Wan Daoxuan immediately snorted coldly, but his gaze at Ye Jian softened a little, and Wan Miaoyi on the side was overjoyed in his heart.
"Hey, little brother, I advise you not to wade into this troubled water, they are being targeted by the Black Wind Thieves, and if they go forward, they will only lose their lives. In the distance, the mercenary martial artist in the late stage of the Condensing Truth Realm suddenly shouted at Ye Jian.
"That is, for the sake of a few spirit stones, you don't need to put your life on the line, I advise you to give up. Another mercenary shouted.
"Little brother, it's not too late to earn spirit stones in the future, I see that you are young, and you will have the middle stage of the Condensation Realm when you cultivate, and it is possible to break through the Transformation Yuan Realm in the future, so why take risks now. Another mercenary advised.
Seeing this, the two brothers and sisters Wan Daoxuan and Wan Miaoyi suddenly looked nervous, having Ye Jian in this team is better than nothing, and the two of them are afraid that Ye Jian will regret it like everyone else.
Ye Jian smiled at the corner of his mouth, knowing what the two brothers and sisters were thinking, and immediately shouted to a group of hired warriors in the distance: "Thank you for your care, thank you in advance here, but since I have taken over this job, I will definitely be responsible for it to the end, if I still have my life, I will definitely see you again in the future." ”
When Wan Daoxuan and Wan Miaoyi heard this, their expressions immediately warmed, and when they looked at Ye Jian, they contained a trace of gratitude.
"There's something wrong with this kid, right? We persuaded each other so hard that we still want to go. ”
"That's it, for those few spirit breaking stones, is it worth it?"
"The Black Wind Thief is not a vegetarian, and this kid is too ignorant of the sky, so he wasted all our good intentions in vain. ”
"What a young and ignorant man!"
......
"Thank you, brother. Wan Daoxuan rode the Black Wind Horse, walked to Ye Jian's side, and immediately asked tentatively: "Brother Tai is so young, he has such a profound cultivation, it must be from the Great Sect, right?"
"In the Inner Sect of the Southern Luo Sect. Ye Jian spoke lightly, but he did not report his life.
Wan Daoxuan's expression was obviously stunned, but then he really said happily: "It turned out to be the senior brother of Nanluo Sect, it is really disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Ye Jian just nodded politely, and even after sweeping the personnel distribution of the entire caravan, he was already a Ming in his heart.
There are a total of forty people in the entire caravan, excluding the ten horsemen who drove the car, there are still thirty warriors left, twenty guards of the martial arts realm, and ten guards of the Ning Zhen Realm.
Wan Daoxuan and his sister Wan Miaoyi, their cultivation is in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, in addition to this, it is Ye Jian, in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, such a team, according to the previous caravan escort specifications, is already a high-level escort.
Under Wan Daoxuan's order, the entire caravan pulled out, and the mighty soup headed towards Quzhou, the wheels rolling, the horses roared, and Ye Jian slowed down the speed of the black wind horse under his crotch, keeping it in the middle, neither in front nor behind.
And not long after the caravan of the Wanjia Merchant Alliance was dispatched, a messenger bird flew out of Yonghe City, and the speed was extremely fast, and it disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Ye Jian followed the Wanjia Merchant Alliance for a day, and only walked five hundred miles, which was still half the way from Quzhou, however, it was already dark, and the caravan found a place to live and cook.
After this short day of conversation, Ye Jian learned from Wan Miaoyi that Quzhou Wanjia was in the business of an auction house, so it would haul goods from all over Zhao every month.
However, just last month, the head of the Wan family personally escorted a batch of goods through the territory of the Black Wind Thieves, and was plotted by the leader of the Black Wind Thieves, and the strange poison in his body required a hundred years of iceberg snow lotus to detoxify.
Fortunately, although the iceberg snow lotus is peculiar, it is not nothing, Wan Miaoyi and the two brothers and sisters have been poor for a while, and finally found it, but they can't transport the snow lotus to Quzhou.
To know the Dao, Quzhou is backed by the Demon Beast Mountain Range, surrounded on three sides, and the head of the Ten Thousand families of the Black Wind Thief Zhilu Dao was anxious to wait for the iceberg snow lotus to save his life, so he deliberately cut off the only way.
Wan Miaoyi's brother and sister also had no choice, so they took the risk and personally escorted the iceberg snow lotus, otherwise, if the time is a little longer, their father will die of a miracle poison.
"Use poison? It seems that you have to be careful on this trip. Ye Jian secretly remembered in his heart.
The smoke curled up, the bonfire was bright, and soon, everyone ate something, and then they went to sleep by themselves, Ye Jian took out a little dry food from his spatial ring, ate a little by himself, and then hid directly in the darkness under the trees, crossed his knees and closed his eyes.
Since the Black Wind Thieves are eyeing the Wanjia Business Alliance, they will never give up, and there has been no movement throughout the day today, which means that they will definitely come tonight, and it is very likely that they will hide in the dark now, and they are closely watching the Wanjia Business Alliance and his party at this moment.
Ye Jian hid himself in the dark, on the one hand, to protect himself, and on the other hand, to see the situation around him clearly.
Wan Daoxuan and Wan Miaoyi also seemed to know this reason, and immediately arranged the frame into a circle, and everyone stayed in this circle, the lights were bright, and ten zhang away from the periphery, Wan Daoxuan arranged for people to light torches high to illuminate the surroundings, and they were caught off guard by the black wind thieves.
After such precise preparations, Wan Daoxuan arranged for everyone to stand guard and be vigilant at all times.
"Strange, what about that senior brother of Nanluo Sect?" Wan Miaoyi didn't find Ye Jian's figure in the enclosed circle, and immediately looked around.
"It turned out to be there. Wan Miaoyi finally found Ye Jian sitting under the tree, and immediately moved her footsteps, ready to sit in the circle of Ye Jian's shouting, but was stopped by his eldest brother Wan Daoxuan.
"Little sister, don't be nosy, since he has received the spirit stones of our ten thousand families, he should make a contribution, and someone needs to be vigilant in that direction, and it would be better to have him there. ”
"But let's make a fire next to him, so that he will be prepared even if the enemy comes. Wan Miaoyi couldn't bear to say.
"Building a fire will only expose him more easily, besides, sitting there is his own choice, we didn't force him, you still don't meddle and recuperate, tonight is definitely not peaceful. Wan Daoxuan snorted coldly, and immediately walked to the other side.
Seeing this, Wan Miaoyi immediately glanced at Ye Jian in the dark, then bit her lip, walked to the side, and crossed her knees to breathe.
The fire was very vigorous, but after the third watch, the fire was almost burning, and a bird cry appeared in the surrounding dense forest, and suddenly, the guards of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance in the circle were frightened, and their eyes widened one by one, vigilantly around, but it was still not difficult to see the deep exhaustion on their faces.
Ye Jian slowly opened his eyes, his ears moved slightly, and he heard that in the darkness a mile behind him, there were five people slowly leaning over, and with a sneer in his heart, Ye Jian closed his eyes again.
