"Catch this guy first, I have something to ask him!" Jose frowned and took a few steps back, then said to the side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Duan immediately nodded knowingly, and then swiped the dagger in his hand horizontally, and Han Feng was facing the prairie man. Although he couldn't see the guy's expression clearly, his voice was quite calm and calm, and when he decided to do it to himself, the guy was obviously a little out of breath, and just wanted to shout loudly: "Don't do it yet, who are you? I don't have any enemies in the northwest, I am a guest invited by your Lord Ronkedor!"

Obviously, this guy thought that Jose was from the Northwest Army. After all, the entire city of Moduo was under the control of Long Keduo, but he was attacked by people at night, so naturally his first reaction was to think of the Northwest Army.

"Hmph, Ronktor, Lao Tzu is not his subordinate, if you want to live, don't keep quiet, or I will have a thousand ways to shut your mouth completely!" Jose threatened unceremoniously.

The prairie man listened to what Joseph said, but fell silent, but then the guy looked at Joseph with some hesitation, and couldn't help but whisper, "Your voice is so familiar...... Ah, are you Lord Joseph?!"

Jose was suddenly a little surprised, this steppe man actually knew himself?

"Jose, I don't know what Joseph!" Joseph paused, and then immediately reacted, no matter how this guy knew him, he couldn't admit his identity.

"Haha, you are indeed Lord Joseph! When you heard me say your name just now, there was a clear pause, obviously because of surprise or hesitation, right?" The guy seemed to confirm Joseph's identity even more, and then quickly explained: "Mr. Joseph, you don't have to admit it. I'm Temur, and those two magic crystals of yours have played a big role in me, I wonder if you still have an impression of me, my lord?"

Temur?

Jose was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the steppe man he rescued in the slave market in Loulan City?!

"Are you Temur?" José couldn't help but squint at the guy, and when the man saw José hesitate, he simply took out two flintstones from his arms, and glanced at them with some scruples, before lighting the candle on the table. The light wasn't bright, but José recognized that the guy was indeed Temur!

"Is it really you?" José was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but look at Temur with some confusion and asked: "Why are you in Modo City, and listening to your tone, it seems that you still have any business with Longkedo?" This surprised me a little, tell me about Temur, I'm afraid you have to give me an explanation for this matter. ”

Although Jose recognized this guy as Temur, the doubts in his heart were not much less. This guy showed considerable ambition in Loulan City that day, but Qiao Se did not choose to take him with him, perhaps because of the psychological effect, Qiao Se always felt that this grassland man was a little uncomfortable with him. But it was also a trust out of nowhere, and he always felt that this guy would not be unknown, so José chose to help this ambitious steppe man. At that time, he also gave Temur two magic crystals, which would be around two thousand gold coins if they were converted into imperial gold coins.

Such a sum of money can be regarded as a huge amount of money, after all, in a poor place like the northwest, three or five gold coins are enough for an ordinary person's expenses for a year. The reason why Joseph is willing to do this is because he likes the mind and tenacity of this Temur, there are indeed not many steppe people with brains and ambitions, but in exchange, Temur may promise that he will remain loyal to José forever!

In order to gain Joseph's trust, this guy even agreed to sign a soul contract with Joseph, and under the restrictions of this contract magic, once both parties do something that violates the contract, the soul will be eaten by magic. However, it was the fact that Joseph had met this Temur in the city of Modo, and that this guy was one of the steppe people who had entered and left the Lonktor County Guard's Mansion, which was what really surprised him.

Temur's face was also a little solemn when he heard Jose say this, but he pondered for a moment and then spoke: "Lord Joseph, the reason why I appeared in Moduo City is indeed because of my relationship with Ronkedo......"

Temur slowly explained what happened: it turned out that since the last time he and Jose were separated in Loulan City, Temur had exchanged the two magic crystals that Jose gave him. Loulan City was originally a city with very developed commerce and trade in the northwest, and there were several large chambers of commerce in the city.

Although small shops often rip off customers, the credit of these big commercial houses is still somewhat guaranteed. However, Temur did not directly take out two magic crystals, but took out one at a time, and after several trading houses had turned around, he chose the two most expensive trading houses to sell separately.

These two high-quality magic crystals exchanged him for 2,500 official gold coins of the Empire, but Temur did not rashly use such a large sum of money to swagger through the market, but bought some dry food and clothes necessary for life, and then he put the rest of the gold coins into the package.

He spent a sum of money to buy a carriage, then hid the money in the carriage, and finally he bought a set of robes and books. The next day he found a caravan in the city, and then he went first to a small merchant in the caravan and told him that he was a scholar traveling in the northwest, hoping to follow their caravan into the steppe. Temur after spending fifty gold coins to bribe a small merchant in the caravan. The guy agreed to piggyback on Temur, and finally got the caravan's leader's approval.

After all, if Temur wanted to return to the grassland alone with such a large sum of money, I am afraid that he would only walk halfway to the road, and he would be eaten by the robbers and horse thieves who came and went, and there would be no scum left.

But it is different with the protection of such a large caravan, most of which are the property of a large family in the northwest, and ordinary horse thieves and robbers will never dare to provoke. Moreover, they can afford to hire an elite mercenary group, which is very secure, and it is not a problem for them to piggyback on a passing guest. Relatively speaking, it is much cheaper than Temur to recruit a mercenary group by himself, and more importantly, the mercenaries hired by such a large caravan are also very reputable mercenary groups in the northwest.

If Temur is left alone, even if he hires mercenaries, who knows if these guys will change their minds halfway through, and instead make up their own minds? You must know that in places like the northwest, some mercenary groups are openly engaged in mercenary business, but when they go to desolate places and few people, there are not a few mercenary groups that do some murderous and illegal deeds!
