The truth hurts more than a lie.

Because most people's emotions are maintained by mutual tolerance and understanding.

I can't tolerate strangers making mistakes, but you're my friend, so it's okay.

If a friend does this, he will inevitably tear his face, but you are my dearest, so you must have a reason to do this, and there must be something to suffer.

It is in such a state of tolerance and understanding that the relationship between two people can get closer and closer.

So the so-called friend is not the person who appreciates your strengths, but the person who can accept your shortcomings and even make excuses for your shortcomings.

understands the truth, but unfortunately, Zhou Shang is not such a person.

He doesn't need others to protect his cowardly self-esteem, and likewise, he doesn't use false words to appease the vulnerability of others.

He believes that honesty with oneself and others is the highest etiquette to get along with.

So he was willing to share his true views on the matter of Walking Qi with Chen Shi.

But it's a pity that Chen Shi seems to find it difficult to accept this kind of communication that hits the heart too directly, so he has insomnia.

The next day, when the gong sounded, Chen Shi's eyes were still red, as if he hadn't slept all night.

In the past, he would greet Zhou Shang warmly when he washed up in the morning, but today he didn't say a word, turned his head and left.

Zhou Shang didn't care, washed, cooked, and then gathered at the school ground, ready to meet the first task of his guard career.

Because they usually train in groups, Zhou Shang also found out when he gathered that the guards of the original trading house had nearly 100 people.

Although there are still only two cultivators in the product, Lou Hong and Yan Gang.

But because of the excellent food and training, the guards are all big-shouldered and round-waisted, and they are powerful.

Standing in line on the school field, there is some solemn majesty.

And this is also the first time that Zhou Shang saw the owner, Zheng Qian, after entering the firm.

Although it is not a good habit to judge people by their appearance, it has to be said that this owner is indeed a little too young.

He was young in his early twenties, with handsome facial features, bright eyes, and skin like white jade.

Tailored, dressed in white with exquisite materials, the white hair draped in the early autumn weather.

It makes the young proprietor look more like a noble boy than a businessman.

Thinking of Zheng Fu, the shopkeeper who recruited himself into the caravan, Zhou Shang initially guessed that this young proprietor, perhaps the son of a certain big family, came to Yongning City to brush up his reputation?

Thinking like this in his heart, the commander Lou Hong explained to everyone the purpose of today's assembly.

Because of the personal visit of the owner, Qiankun Commercial Bank has reached cooperation intentions with many villages and towns around Yongning.

This also means that the Qiankun Commercial Bank, which has been throwing money around, is finally going to make money.

Several shopkeepers are gearing up and eager to show their strength immediately, but before that, the first thing to solve is security.

The purpose of today's morning meeting is to group these nearly 100 guards.

One group is the suburban caravan guard, mainly responsible for the escort of the procurement caravan around Yongning, which is directly led by Lou Hong.

The second group is the merchant guard, responsible for guarding the caravan traveling far away, and is directly commanded by Yan Gang.

The third group is the camp guard, responsible for the patrol and defense of the commercial house, and Lou Hong is also directly responsible.

Among these three groups, what Zhou Shang wanted to join the most was the camp guard patrol group, after all, accompanying the caravan meant leaving the camp to eat and prepare meals and drinks, and without enough nutritional supplements, there was no way to go all out to exercise.

But how can things in the world go as people wish, no matter what Zhou Shang hoped in his heart, the commander on the stage still quickly called his name.

"Escort Zhou Shang, assigned to the suburban guard group."

……

In this way, Zhou Shang became a member of the suburban guard group, and after the grouping was completed, he had the first task, escorting the caravan to a place called Yaoshi Village outside Yongning City to purchase bulk medicines.

After checking the map, Zhou Shang was quite satisfied with the first mission of his escort career.

First of all, Yaoshi Village is very close to Yongning, only fifty miles away, and most of them are post roads.

If the purchase goes well, the round trip is up to two days.

The rules of the caravan are that the guards who complete a mission can get a few days of vacation adjustment, and they can even get some sharing rewards after this large-scale transaction type of escort mission.

From the mouths of the guards in the same group, it was learned that other firms did not have such benefits.

And surprisingly, there's more to it than that!

Before the official mission, the commander Lou Hong took everyone to the camp's arsenal.

When the small warehouse was opened, all kinds of new armor that shone with cold light almost blinded everyone's eyes.

"Now I know why I always train you with weights!"

Looking at the dazzling guards, the commander Lou Hong said with a smile: "The owner said that the guards are also people, instead of giving out bereavement pensions to buy people's hearts after the guards die in battle, it is better to directly advance this money and exchange it for the guarantee of your life!"

As long as you work hard, he will take care of you.

After a stick of incense, each person chooses a set of well-fitting armor, dresses up neatly and goes to the school to gather, and then set off!

Be careful when wearing it, these are all high-end goods purchased from the major blacksmith shops in Yongning!

Don't mess it up, after the mission is over, you have to return the arsenal for the rest of the guys! ”

Although Lou Hong scolded while talking, the excitement of the guards could not be stopped.

In the arsenal, everyone is more attentive than choosing a mother-in-law.

Zhou Shang is not so anxious, but looking at the armor and equipment of this whole warehouse, Rao can't help but admire his own business house with his knowledge, and feel sorry for the young owner's bearing.

There are many people who can speak beautifully, but there are very few people who can do things beautifully.

Merchants are profit-seeking, so what the caravan escort is, everyone present knows it very well.

In Yongning City, the caravan guards were recruited, and it was purely to exchange their lives for money.

Ordinary commercial houses spend huge sums of money to buy armor for life support, and even the usual food has to be deducted repeatedly.

On the other hand, Qiankun Commercial Bank did not earn much money, but this welfare was full of heaven.

Bankruptcy Factor +1 again!

I'm really worried about the future of the commercial house.

If you go bankrupt, you really don't know if you can find a job with such good benefits.

"I just hope that this transaction mission can go smoothly, and then let the owner earn more money."

Zhou Shang, who entered the arsenal, secretly hoped that this was his first time, hoping that a businessman would be able to make a fortune instead of going bankrupt.

Zhou Shang thought as he walked deeper into the arsenal.

He had already observed just now, and the arrangement of the armor in the arsenal was very particular.

The outermost layer is light armor, and the materials are also different, leather, armor, mainly for torso protection, to maintain the flexibility of limbs and movements.

On the back rows of shelves are medium-sized full-body armor, mostly fish scales and chains, which seem to be much stronger than light armor, and are equipped with accessories such as arm armor and leg armor.

Most of the guards were selected in these rows, and as for Zhou Shangmo, they went straight to the deepest part of the arsenal.

All of them were heavy plate armor, with more than a dozen pairs of sizes and only two styles.

A full-body golden armor, the heart shield is a protruding roaring tiger head, the visor wraps around the mouth and nose, and only half of the face is exposed.

Another kind of dark color full-body armor, the degree of protection is more exaggerated, only a pair of eyes are exposed.

After Zhou Shang reversed the weight of the two sets of heavy armor, he decisively chose the black one.

Just as he took off the heavy armor of the corresponding size, he heard the commander Lou Hong advise, "You choose this set of Xuantie heavy armor, the total weight is two hundred catties, and the cultivators who have not entered the grade will have a hard time wearing and moving, let alone using their hands, change to a lighter set!" ”

Zhou Shang didn't answer, but Li Suo put on his armor, and then in front of Lou Hong, he punched a set of fists.

After the fight, he jumped on the spot a few more times.

After doing all this, the hideous Xuan-colored iron man stood still, and the sound of the urn came from the tin can-like helmet, "Commander Lou, I think this set is just right." ”

“.... If you fall behind, see how I punish you! ”
