Chapter XXXVIII

The paper on which this task was written was very new, apparently freshly posted.

According to the old man, the publisher of this quest is called Wang Min, the daughter of Wang Hu, the general of the Yanlong Empire. For some unknown reason, Wang Min was sent to this town to garrison. Recently, I don't know who I offended, Wang Min was assassinated one after another, the news reached Wang Hu, Wang Hu was furious, ordered a strict investigation, and ordered his daughter to go home, and has sent cavalry to answer, what we mercenaries have to do is to protect Wang Min's safety before the cavalry responds.

Being a mercenary is very free, as long as the corresponding tasks are completed within a regular period, the reason why Xiaowu chose this task is to take a fancy to Wang Min's itinerary, the task paper says to return to the imperial capital, there are generally masters in the imperial capital, don't forget, Xiaowu is also careful of an old immortal chasing himself!

In addition, Xiaowu asked the old man at the front desk, and unexpectedly learned that the Shentang Academy was on the way back to the imperial capital, and this news made Xiaowu even happier, saying that he had to catch up with this task.

Early the next morning, Xiaowu set off from the Han Pavilion, because the task list said that Wang Min would set off from the mansion today and headed for the imperial capital. Wang Min's residence, there were already many people in the center of the compound, Xiaowu chose a position to stand in the middle, closed his eyes to make up for sleep, no way, Xiaowu chatted with the old man at the front desk for too long last night, and slept very late!

After sleeping in the crowd for nearly two hours, the mercenaries arrived one after another, and the center was already full, so the house ordered the door to close. Not long after, a middle-aged man came out of the courtyard, the man was equipped with a knife, shining in the light, with his cold face, without a fight.

The man stood on a high place, and the audience suddenly fell silent. The man spoke: "I am the housekeeper in the house, called Wang Qian, the eldest lady will come out in a while, now I will distribute the number." ”

"Where are the people of Fengshe, please come to the left. ”

The bustling crowd began to surge, and most of the people in the central square went to the left. The butler nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "The people of the Han Pavilion please come to the right, and those who are protected by the people are asked to stay in the middle." ”

The central head froze for most of the day, only one person seemed to wake up, and then squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty, he shook the clothes given by the mercenary captain, and walked slowly to the right, this person is not Xiaowu who else can be. The butler's face twitched, and after a long time, he said coldly: "Why are you alone?"

This sentence immediately caused the Fengshe crowd to laugh, and the central crowd whispered.

Xiaowu didn't answer, pretending to be stupid and acting like a god, playing by himself. The housekeeper thought about it and felt that he had said the wrong thing, after all, he had heard of the situation in the Han Pavilion over the years. The butler turned his head to everyone and said, "Today I arrange it like this, the people of Fengshe will take the lead and open the way, the middle route will be guarded by my guards and the Han Pavilion, and the rear route will be protected by the Ming Room. As for the reward, considering the number of people, it is now changed to one silver coin per person, and the reward for good performance will be regarded as meritorious service!"

This decision made the people below cheer enthusiastically, "Just kidding, a silver coin! you can buy me a lot of steamed buns!" said a fatter man bluntly.

Last night, Xiaowu has consulted the old man, the coins in this world are divided from low to high, they are copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, mining coins, of course, mineral coins also have high and low, we will not talk about it here, a silver coin is equivalent to 100 copper coins, a copper coin can buy a big steamed bun, a steamed bun is equivalent to an adult half a day's food. So for this escort mission, one silver coin is already a high commission.

Not long after, a luxuriously dressed carriage drove over, introduced by the housekeeper Wang Qian, this is the carriage that the young lady will ride, the crowd of Fengshe walked in front of the carriage very consciously, and when passing by Xiaowu, from time to time they would cast disdainful glances, and even insults in body language.

Xiaowu is invincible with one punch and four hands, not to mention more than four hands, he was immediately furious, and wanted to rush over and break them, but this is a gathering place for the human race, maybe there are masters, not to mention that there is an old immortal threat!

As soon as he thought of this, Xiaowu directly withered, he turned his back on his face, walked to the carriage and sat down. The little dragon Rumble is a summoned beast of Enlightenment, and Dawning's anger is also transmitted to it, Rumble jumps on his shoulder, licks Dawn's face, and comforts Seven-Tails jumps on Dawn's other shoulder and rubs his tail against it. The Seven-Tails can understand human speech, and it was it just now that reminded the sleeping Xiaowu to go to the right.

Everyone didn't pay attention to the little dragon and the seven tails, thinking that they were just Xiaowu's pets. Time passed, the troops had been sorted out, and a girl wearing a sharp sword rushed out, she combed her hair into a dead shape, and her goose-egg-shaped face showed the temper of the young lady, but she was wearing a military uniform, which was still very rustic, and it was very incongruous.

The girl's sudden appearance made the audience dumbfounded, and the housekeeper coughed a few times and said, "Everyone, this is my eldest lady, and your main task this time is to protect her." ”

After speaking, the housekeeper stepped forward to communicate with Wang Min, the voice was not loud, and he couldn't hear it in the noise, Xiaowu could only see Wang Min shaking his head vigorously, the housekeeper seemed to have no choice, and finally decided to stuff Wang Min into the carriage in person, the carriage shook so badly that it was conceivable that this eldest lady must be mad in the carriage!

At the beginning of the Fengshe mercenaries, the team walked out of the town in a mighty way.

The team had been on the road for two days, and no one had sneak up on it, and everyone began to relax and discuss how to spend the silver coin. The team passed by a shady grass, and someone suggested that they take a break, but after Wang Min approved it, they rested in place.

Xiaowu stayed with the housekeeper as usual, and he had become very familiar with each other in the past two days, as for why he was familiar, ask Xiaowu what he had prepared when he went forward!

While resting on the way, Xiaowu was so hungry that he could only ask the housekeeper for food like begging. For the first time, the housekeeper was drinking, and Xiaowu was very hungry, so he sat at the table and ate everything, and the wine was like water, and the housekeeper liked to drink people, and he was drunk, and he was very happy to see Xiaowu drinking, and he thought that the person who drank like this was a straightforward person, so he befriended him, so he would call Xiaowu every time he ate. If you let the housekeeper know the reason, I wonder if you will beat yourself up?

"One more day to the Shentang Academy, I don't know why Brother Po wants to know its location so much. The butler asked, holding up his glass.

Now Xiaowu is very drunk, fortunately, the seven-tailed fire fox has a trick to relieve hangover, after finding that Xiaowu is about to faint, he immediately relieves Xiaowu, Xiaowu wakes up slowly, facing the housekeeper's questioning eyes, where does he remember what the housekeeper asked! No way, pretending to be * magic broke out again, Xiaowu lowered his head and was silent, and then looked up at the sky, looking so sad.

In this situation, the housekeeper didn't want to ask anything, so he picked up the cup and asked the next person to bring some more food over and continue to drink with Xiaowu!

Just as everyone was about to finish their rest, the ground in front of them began to collapse, and many people fell into the pit inexplicably, and a huge pangolin beast king appeared. This pangolin beast king's eyes glowed red, as if he was stimulated by something, and rushed to Wang Min's carriage desperately, the pangolin beast king is usually rare, and they don't like the sun normally they don't reach the ground.

The second-level high-level demonic beast of the Panshan Beast King, his size is huge, and his actions are much faster than the Panshan Beast, and it didn't take long for most of Fengshe's people to be seriously injured, and the low-level magic attack could not hurt the Panshan Beast King, and he was about to hit the carriage, the butler pulled out his saber, and hit the Panshan Beast King with a single blow, and the Panshan Beast King wailed and fell to the side. Seeing this, some people in the rear couldn't help but sigh: "Only a fifth-level warrior can make this high-level demonic beast stop when it is injured, and the housekeeper is so powerful." ”

The injured Beastmaster's eyes slowly began to recover, no longer red, and after resting for a while, it got up again, looking at the crowd surrounding him at a loss. The blazing light made the Beastmaster unable to stand up, and without saying a word, he began to dig a hole, and the housekeeper did not strike again, and the Beastmaster quickly escaped!

"This medicine has been used too!" whispered the butler.
