Chapter 51: Removing Guards
"Why are you two brothers and sisters here?"
Dugu Yi and the two of them asked as soon as they came to the front of them, and they were naturally regarded as sisters and brothers. may have seen that Dugu Yi and Yi Qian were not like villains, so their attitude was quite polite.
Although Yiqian and Dugu Yi have been walking in the Gobi for four days, they are still glamorous at this time with enough clothes in reserve, although Dugu Yi wears an eye patch but has no expression, her face is also a little heroic, and Yiqian is a rare beautiful young girl.
"I didn't show up here on purpose, just like you on the road. Yiqian smiled lightly, not caring at all about being regarded as Duguyi's sister, maybe she was still a little happy in her heart.
"Just the two of you?" the two men on horseback were visibly stunned, and their eyes became wary, both of them knew in their hearts that there must be an entourage, but now that there was no one, they must have been ambushed somewhere!
Seeing the cautious appearance of the two, Yi Qian smiled again, and said again: "No need to look for it, there are only our sisters and brothers." ”
"That's true!" the two mercenaries, who had not found any suspicious signs, withdrew their gaze, but their eyes were still full of suspicion. Yiqian and Dugu Yi are too weak in their eyes, and they don't have the strength to get here at all.
"My brother and sister won't delay the two. Yiqian lightly lifted the reins and prepared to leave, and Dugu Yi did the same as her.
"Wait. ”
Another mercenary raised his hand to Yiqian and invited: "I see that you are also going north, if you don't dislike it, come with us, this Gobi is also dangerous to your brothers and sisters!"
"Xiao Yi?" Yi Qian turned her head to look at Dugu Yi. At this time, if the two of them still insist on hurrying, it will inevitably make the two mercenaries in front of them more suspicious.
"Then let's go together!" Dugu Yi nodded. Although he didn't know the strength of the other party, he could see from his breath that these two people were martial artist-level cultivators, and Dugu Yi didn't have the confidence to fight with these two people, and there were two others who were about to catch up.
"Then thank you first, but you shouldn't escort our brother and sister in vain, right?" Yiqian turned to the mercenary again and smiled. Although he had said that he would not contact this caravan before, Dugu Yi, who could say that he would go back obediently with the Zhao family, did not surprise Yiqian too much by temporarily changing his mind at this time.
"Haha!" the mercenary smiled and said, "Of course, we are mercenaries, so we naturally have to charge some fees;
As soon as the mercenary's words fell, he noticed that something was flying towards him, raised his hand to catch it, and fixed his eyes to see that it was a small bag used to hold coins, and he threw it lightly twice, and he probably knew the number of gold coins in the bag, and then looked at Dugu Yi's eyes full of smiles.
"Thank you, young master, please come back to the caravan with us now!"
"Two of you, please. Yi Qian replied politely.
The two mercenaries did not refuse, turned their horses' heads and led the way. Because the caravan was not far away from the four people at this time, the speed of the march was not very fast.
Yi Qian's gaze shifted from the mercenary in front to Dugu Yi, who was side by side. Because they weren't very close, and the two were also talking to each other, Yiqian didn't have any scruples, and asked, "How much money did you give them?"
"Ten gold coins. Dugu Yi replied lightly.
"It's too much!" Yi Qian immediately covered her mouth after exclaiming, looked at the two mercenaries in front of her who were laughing happily, and then whispered: "If it weren't for the suspicion of us, these two people would definitely not invite us, even if they didn't give money, they would definitely ask us to go along." ”
Dugu Yi shook his head slightly, and explained in detail: "But they have already determined our origins, and if they can't give them some benefits, they can't justify it, and there are notices hunting me down in the streets and alleys of Duolong City, if I turn myself into a rich young master now, maybe I can reduce some suspicions, right?"
"I've thought so much in that short period of time, should I say you're thoughtful, or you're worrying too much, brother!" Yi Qian said with a 'ill-intentioned' smile on her face.
Dugu Yi shook his head helplessly, and didn't say anything to refute it, maybe he didn't hate a sister like Yiqian, right?
About half an hour later, Dugu Yi and Yi Qian finally arrived in front of the caravan. This was a small caravan composed of only fourteen or fifteen carriages and more than fifty people, but the two of them could see at a glance that this caravan was somewhat unusual! The most obvious thing was that more than ten carriages loaded with goods were all tightly covered with black cloths; secondly, among the fifty people, there were more than forty mercenaries alone, and the two who had the worst skills were the two who went to them before, that is to say, these mercenaries were all cultivators above the martial arts master.
In this way, Dugu Yi also knew that he had met an unbelievable person this time, and the other party was so careful and vigilant only to show that this cargo was extremely important to them! Thinking about it this way, if he insisted on leaving just now, maybe the two of them would have turned into corpses by now.
"You ......"
A young man riding a white horse came to Dugu Yi and the four of them, with murderous intent in addition to vigilance in his eyes, so his handsome face was also a little cold.
"Young master!" As soon as the young man spoke, the mercenary who collected the money before immediately introduced: "Their sister and brother are also going north, but they are separated from the domestic servants, and their subordinates are worried that they will encounter accidents on the road, so they invite them to join them." ”
"Is that so?" the young man nodded approvingly, looked Yiqian up and down again, and reminded him coldly: "It's okay to go together, but don't move around at will." ”
"Thank you!" Yiqian smiled and thanked her. Even if the man didn't say it, she didn't have any interest in the caravan.
"Hmm!" the man nodded, and headed for the caravan.
It wasn't until the man walked away that the mercenary who collected the money said to Yi Qian again: "My young master is usually not like this, but this action is related to the future of the family, so ...... Don't blame it yet. ”
"Can you arrange a carriage for us, of course we can pay for it. Dugu Yi said softly before Yi Qian responded.
"This ......," said the mercenary, embarrassed, "I also want to make the road more comfortable for the two of you, but we really don't have any extra carriages." ”
"...... like this"
Yi Qian just wanted to give up, but Dugu Yi immediately said: "As you said before, we are indeed separated from the domestic servant, and my sister is still injured at this time, so can you please go and talk to your young master?"
When the mercenary heard this, he squinted at Yi Qian, who had been flushed by the scorching sun, but now that he looked closely, he was indeed a little sick, so the mercenary nodded to Dugu Yi and then reined in to find his young master.
As a result, Dugu Yi and Yi Qian really got a four-wheeled carriage for people to ride, of course, Dugu Yi did not break his promise, and gave the mercenary ten gold coins again! Ten gold coins were just to rent a carriage for a few days, which shows how generous Dugu Yi is.
In the carriage, Yi Qian raised her hand to lift the curtain and looked out, and saw that there was no one else in the car except for the person who drove the car for them, so she leaned into Dugu Yi's ear and said, "Could you really be the young master of a big family?" ”
Dugu Yi shook his head slightly, and said, "Why don't you look like a young lady? Which young lady would leave the carriage in front of her and not sit, and be willing to ride a horse and suffer from the sun and wind?"
"It's not because you said before not to do what they care about. Yi Qian glanced at Dugu Yi and sat up.
"If we don't ask for anything, they'll be more concerned, and then please show you some of the lady's face." ”
"Huh!" Yi Qian smacked her tongue, as if she had thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, her finger pointed at Dugu Yi's head, and said, "Okay, sister, I will take good care of my brother." ”
Dugu Yi shook his head helplessly again.
