Some people say that the meaning of life lies in moving forward, some people shoulder the sun and the moon and care for the Li people, some people work hard in the face of loess, and some people have been traveling far away regardless of spring and autumn.

On the last day of the Yuan Ri Festival, as the dawn shone on the walls of the majestic and huge Hengbei Castle, the golden bell rang high throughout the mountains, and the three major gates of the Hengbei Castle, which had closed the small half moon, were finally opened one after another.

After the gates were opened, the caravans that were constantly on the move for a living began to gradually leave the city and sail farther away.

Although today is the last day of the Yuan Ri Festival, the road ahead is full of unknown dangers, especially the Wuyangcheng Trade Road, which crosses countless mountains and rivers and sails for nearly 1,000 miles.

A man dressed in a light blue cotton coat who was a little chubby but with a shrewd face stood in front of his caravan and looked at the colorful woodcut cards hanging on the roof of the caravan with a sad face, but after looking at it for a long time, he still didn't find a woodcut card with the same pattern as himself, so he could only sigh helplessly and shrink his neck, leaning on the carriage.

"Don't look at Shopkeeper Sun, the snow is so heavy this year, there are few of you who dare to go to Wuyang City so early." A sturdy man walked over with a smile.

The man named Sun Jingfu, who is also the shopkeeper of this caravan, smiled bitterly: "Xue Qi, don't laugh at me, if this batch of goods is not in a hurry, who will be willing to give up his wife and children to hot kang heads."

Xue Qi laughed when he heard this, and gave a thumbs up and said, "No wonder you can be the shopkeeper, this is reasonable."

Sun Jingfu shook his head helplessly and said, "What kind of bullshit truth is this, when you become a family and become a big fat boy, you will understand this truth."

"Me?" Xue Qi pointed to his nose and asked, "I'm just a martial artist who eats and waits for death, when will I die outside, even if this life is over, don't delay the big girl of the yellow flower, and when the time comes, I hope that the shopkeeper Sun will not be stingy, and the coffin will not be needed, just dig a pit for me, wrap it in a straw mat and bury it."

As soon as he heard this, Sun Jingfu hurriedly lowered his head and snorted a few times, and did not forget to let Xue Qi follow his own example and hurry up.

This funny scene immediately amused Xue Qi, and he smiled happily and asked, "Why is Shopkeeper Sun still so childlike, it's all a trick to deceive children, you still believe it."

"Don't say sad words when you travel far away, and don't go home angry. The truth left by Xue Qi's ancestor is reasonable after all, hurry up and puff." Sun Jingfu said and grabbed Xue Qi's arm with great effort, although the two of them are very different in body shape and strength, but if they really want to pull it up, Xue Qi can't beat Sun Jingfu, after all, the salary used to drink still has to rely on others, Xue Qi has no choice but to learn from Sun Jingfu's appearance and quickly snort a few times.

"Let's go. There may be a snowstorm later."

The curtains of the side windows of the second carriage were lifted, and half of the delicate face protruded from it.

As soon as he heard this voice, Sun Jingfu, who was still talking nonsense with Xue Qi, quickly turned around and said to the man in the second car with a smiling face: "Lord Zhen, the road to Wuyang City is too dangerous, if there are other caravans traveling together, it is safer to support each other."

"Oh, does Shopkeeper Sun think that Zhen can't protect you and these truckloads of goods?" The man's voice was obviously a little colder, and there was a bit of anger in his voice.

"No, no, no, of course I can trust Lord Zhen." Sun Jingfu hurriedly waved his hand and beckoned: "Let's go, let's go."

Xue Qi didn't bother to take care of this stubble, so he walked to the back of the convoy with his hands on his chest, and when he passed by the second carriage, he didn't forget to drop a sentence coldly: "What are you angry?"

The man in the second car just lowered the curtain and ignored him, after all, this road is still far away, no matter who falls out with whom, it will not be easy on the way, even if they are angry with each other, but they still have to take care of face, if the two caravanserai really tear their faces between them, they don't have to go this time.

Xue Qi walked to the end, took the reins of the horse from a lean man and did not get on the horse, but stood at the end with a few men, waiting for the departure ahead.

The thin man glanced at the carriage in front of him, and then scolded indignantly, "Brother Xue, front

What kind of road is that guy in the face, how arrogant he is, even Brother Xue's face dares to go down."

Someone starts, someone interjects.

"I don't think that kid is a good person, where did the shopkeeper find it, can he be reliable with Brother Xue."

Xue Qi was also not polite, he slapped the felt hat on the head of the lean man closest to him, which seemed to be fierce but had little strength, and only hit the felt hat and did not hit the head.

The thin man's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood Xue Qi's thoughts, and hurriedly hugged his head and cried wolf for mercy.

Xue Qi rolled his eyes, and secretly bumped into the lean man to signal that he had gone too far, and seeing that the strong man's voice was a little quieter, Xue Qi cleared his throat and said, "That guy's name is Zhen Kai, and he is a good hand hired by Shopkeeper Sun in the mercenary house in Hengbei City, and he seems to be a qi practitioner from the Four Realms."

"Mercenaries?" As soon as he heard this name, the sturdy man stopped crying out in pain, and his eyes lit up: "Brother Xue, did you go with you?" What is it like inside, didn't I hear that as long as the price is in place, even the cultivators of the seventh and eighth realms can invite it."

Qi cultivation has this extremely fatal attraction for people like them who come from the bottom of the hierarchy, and they can do everything in the sky, and that is a real man.

Xue Qi didn't brag either, shook his head and said, "I didn't go, what is there to see in that kind of place, in the end, it's similar to us, they are all squatting together looking for work, what is there to envy." Seeing that the faces of the men around him were a little unhappy, Xue Qi hurriedly said, "Some of the great sect cultivators are required to go out to practice, their place is called the Reward Pavilion, if you have something to write down and hand it over, whether this thing can be done depends on whether people are willing or not, and it doesn't work to add money, isn't this better than that mercenary?" Those are all based on fate, maybe the ones who unveil the list may be the true heavens above the Nine Realms, do you know?"

As soon as this hearsay story was told, it really frightened the group of guys who had never seen the world, Xue Qi directly turned over and got on the horse and no longer cared about the group of guys.

As the caravan began to set off after the rearmament, Zhen Kai guarded the head of the team, and Xue Qi sat at the end of the team, complementing each other one after the other, although everyone knew that this road was dangerous, but it was also a lot more reassuring to have this lineup.

More than 200 miles north of Hengbei City, the terrain is flat and there is a post road, as long as you are not unlucky to fall into the snow pit, it is definitely the best part of this thousand-mile journey.

After the caravan had been on the road for five days, the first carriage in front of the caravan suddenly stopped in front of a river that had been buried by heavy snow, and then a dozen wagons also quickly stopped one after another. Xue Qi, who was at the end of the team, was afraid that something else would appear, so he quickly jumped off his horse and ran forward, carefully avoiding the huge snow pit that should have collapsed, and shouted loudly, "What's going on ahead?"

Seeing Xue Qi running over to this side, a man hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xue is fine, it was the shopkeeper who saw a person who had fainted from the cold, wearing black clothes, and Lord Zhen didn't let him save him."
