Section 9: Engagement (II)
Section 9: Agreements (II
Benneid rode to join him as soon as possible, and this kind of fiery behavior did not suit his character.
When Townsend appeared, he couldn't help but be secretly curious when he saw that the important assistant's face was full of relief.
"Have you informed Sister Wenli?" Townsend asked, "Your relationship with the head of the family is so stiff, and you refuse to stay for a moment?"
"Leader, please rest assured, I have informed all the people who should be notified, Sister Wen Li Xiǎo has already prepared her bags and can set off at any time, and the big convoy set off with our identities the day before yesterday. I have met Sister Wenli Xiǎo three times during this time, and they are very harmonious. Benneid answered the business first, and then called out the grievance: "I am in a hurry not for anything else, but to confirm that you are all right, chief." ”
"Are you sure I'm all right?" Townsend wondered, "When did I become weak?"
"Chief, you may not know, the commission for the club's wanted leader is about to be sent to the town of Wakale!" Bennaid took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Townsend, "This is some of the information we have intercepted, and there must be some information that has slipped into the town." ”
Townsend suspiciously took it and found that this was a wanted commission issued by a certain merchant group of the club, and the name of the merchant group was very unfamiliar, but his head was no longer six million, but nine million standard gold coins...... Damn, this misty palace is really yin soul, and when the xiǎo master has spare money, he will also send a notice and hire a bunch of people to go to his house to splash feces!
"Damn, is this money still scored?" Townsend couldn't help but sigh: "Nine million gold coins, perseverance!"
"Chief, you're just going to the club's auction, aren't you?Did you do something angry?" Benneid wasn't a curious person, but Townsend was in such a surprising situation: "Sister Wen Li Xiǎo said that you probably bullied others, and you bullied them very badly, so the other party took revenge in this almost anonymous way." ”
"Sister Wen Li xiǎo is really right, I really bullied a young master this time. Townsend thought of Yarrow Berg's white and tender face, and felt happy in his heart, and said in a tone full of superiority: "But I really don't blame me for this, his posture is so windy, his expression is so windy, and his subordinates are so waste, if you don't go up and step on your feet, Lao Tzu will be idle until the egg hurts!"
For Towngson's confidence and pride, Benneid was speechless for a while. He couldn't do such a thing as belittleing the leader to his face.
"Given that some people must have received such a commission, which might be detrimental to Thorn Rose, I have transferred the main manpower out of Wakale, and at the same time only made the town of Forest Xiǎo a base of observation. Bennaide continued, "Because Sister Wen Lixiǎo's chamber of commerce is stationed here, we can completely push back to three hundred miles away. This way you can avoid a lot of trouble. ”
"Your arrangement is good, Lao Cheng is serious. But then again, this arrangement is still because we are not strong enough, otherwise why would we retreat?" Townsend nodded: "But don't worry, the Thorn Rose will become stronger and stronger, and there will always be a day when we can bully others, but others can only swallow their anger!
While the two were talking, the sound of horses' hooves came from the side of the forest Xiǎo Path, and when they turned their heads, there was a small horse team walking out of the forest.
"This is Sister Wen Lixiǎo's Horse + Passion Team. Bennaider quickly introduced: "It is our people who lead the way. ”
There are several nomadic tribes under the Thorn Rose, and Townsend has been there twice before, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, Soma's ability has been mastered a little. So when he was observing, he also made an evaluation of Wenli's horse team by the way - the number of horses is less than thirty, but they are all excellent war horses in a hundred, with large size, strong muscles, and good endurance.
Not only are the horses good, but the people are also good.
In addition to the guide who led the way, at the head of the horse team were three middle-aged men, their positions were slightly staggered, and their eyes were also staggered, bringing the entire front into the warning range. After the five horses, followed by two other men, their eyes were very calm, but occasionally when they raised their eyes, they were always looking at the most important positions along the way, and for this alone, they were much sharper than the three men in front of them.
The same arrangement is made at the end of the horse team, with a slightly larger spacing between the three guards and the two sharps. In addition, there are two Jing Rui in the middle position.
All the guards and Jing Rui wore a common travel robe on the West Coast, and although the steel armor inside was fully camouflaged, it couldn't hide from a supernatural like Townsend. In addition, they all held the reins in one hand, and the other hand was always on the cover of the holster in front of the saddle, which was a long leather case mounted vertically, apparently for weapons.
"Yes, they're all veterans. Townsend nodded slightly, this escort team of more than a dozen people is not something that any family can pull out. There are many ingredients in the temperament of the guards and Jing Rui, in addition to confidence and calmness, there is also a subtle smell of blood.
The three men in the middle also wore traveling robes, but they were not as bloated as the guards.
Although they all wore hoods, Townsend still started from personal habits and other details to identify them: the person who walked last half a horse should be the old butler of Sister Wen Lixiǎo, who never forgot his duties, and was still wearing white gloves at this time.
The NV warrior who walked in the front should be the NV ability master Hazel, who claims to be level four but is actually level five, and the scenery on the road is relatively novel, so she looks left and right from time to time, but she will not be really attracted by anything. This is exactly the characteristic of the master otaku, the vision is high, and the attention will not be easily diverted.
The one who walks in the middle should be Sister Wen Li xiǎo herself.
An ordinary travel robe, also she inadvertently wore a long skirt, although this robe is exactly the same as someone else's, almost all parts have nothing to do with the charm, but the only exception is that Wen Li used it to the extreme.
Her slender waist was tied with a light gray moire hard leather belt, on which hung a black shark sheath horseback scimitar common on the West Coast, and a silver sheath ruby xiǎo knife dangling next to it. If you look at these things separately, none of them are particularly eye-catching, but when she matches them casually and combines them with her temperament, there is a different kind of jingcai blooming.
She rode on her horse in a standard samurai posture and even wore samurai gloves, but her delicate and elegant character did not fade, and even when she occasionally talked to Hazel Jiāo, she only leaned her upper body slightly.
It's useless, you're like a firefly in the dark...... Townsend thought evilly.
He knew it would be a prank, but he was certainly right. At least in front of him, Sister Wen Li Xiǎo couldn't hide it with her clothes alone.
Watching the beauty of the NV makes people feel happy, and discovering that the beauty of the NV has a new beauty will make people even more pleasant.
The guards in charge of the guard knew the identity of Bennet, and naturally knew the identity of Townsend, and they walked past Townsend at a uniform speed, only nodding slightly to Townsend.
Townsend pulled down his hood and pulled his face out. It's basic etiquette, as if you take off your gloves before shaking hands with someone -- and the three oncoming people pull down their hoods.
"Mr. Townsend. Wen Li smiled on her face: "Seeing you return safely, I don't have to worry." ”
"Sister Wen Lixiǎo. Hazel seniors. Townsend was not modest, he said with a smile: "In order to let Sister Wenli Xiǎo not continue to worry, I have a lot of strength." ”
"Flim Flam. Senior Hazel glanced at Townshend, and there was more concern than reproach in his eyes: "How many hornet's nests have you stabbed this time? Nine million gold coins, aren't you afraid that others will think your head is particularly cute?"
"Senior, you always praise me like this, I will be shy one day. Townsend turned his horse's head and unceremoniously followed Chā between Wenli and Hazel, the poor one who had been pushed aside and had to step back to side with the old butler.
"Only one hornet's nest, it seems like two? no, is it just one hornet's nest. Before Hazel's cold snort, Townsend finally confessed: "I soared the price and won the prodigal young master of the waste material idiot of the Hazy Palace." ”
Sister Wen Li under the hood, Xiao Yinyin watched them bickering, she didn't seem to care about Townsend's trouble-making behavior.
"Mist Palace?young master?" Hazel thought for a moment before opening her mouth in surprise: "That's not the ...... of the Church of Radiance."
"That's right, this idiot said that he himself was the future Third Apostle, so I naturally broke his mind and robbed him of the pride wristband he wanted. Townsend is obviously avoiding the important and trivial, because this is not a secret, if others have the heart to inquire, he can't hide the matter of getting the pride wristband.
"This idiot has already paid out 60 million standard gold coins, and it turned out to be cheaper for me. ”
"Thorn Rose has 60 million standard gold coins for you to squander?" Hazel of course didn't believe it, and turned her head to look at a certain class, and unexpectedly found that Benneid's classmate looked at Townsend with a sad eye - if you have 60 million standard gold coins, no matter how you got it, leader, you must first invest in the operation of Thorn Rose, okay?
"Senior, you may not know much about this kind of thing, a man's wealth is not just as simple as gold coins. Townsend was relieved when he said this: "The important thing is the momentum! This hun egg saw my momentum, and was immediately shocked, and he willingly put the pride wristband he had just taken down with both hands, I didn't want it, but I really couldn't refuse, so I accepted it." ”
"If you're willing, why would you want to be wanted afterwards?"
"There is such a thing as momentum, of course, there will be a time limit, I have walked a long way, and this waste material has to eat a meal before I wake up. Townsend said vaguely, and pretended to wipe his forehead with his hand: "Fortunately, I ran fast - it was like this all the way, and it was not easy to catch up with the agreement with Sister Wen Lixiǎo!"
