The next day, Lin Jian wandered around the street while inquiring about news.

As soon as I walked to the lively place at the corner of the street, I heard someone shouting loudly in front of me: "Recruit guards!" Recruit the guards! Qi's cloth has recruited guards, and heroes from all walks of life have come to take a look! ”

Lin Jian surrounded curiously, and the passers-by around him were also discussing.

"What does a cloth recruit guard do?"

"This is your loneliness, this Qi's cloth shop is a big merchant, shops all over the world, not only selling fabrics, all kinds of business, they are involved. When there is a war between countries, most of the goods flow depends on them, and when each country encounters a caravan of the Qi clan, it will only be released after a brief inspection. ”

I heard someone whisper again: "I heard that the owner of this Qi clan cloth shop is a big man, and the kings of all countries will give a little thin noodles." ”

"Such a big face? What is this person's identity? ”

"I didn't know about it, this man is so mysterious that I've never heard of his name."

After hearing this, Lin Jian's heart moved, and he turned his eyes to look at the white paper pasted on the wall.

The paper reads, "Qi's cloth company needs to transport a batch of goods to Hongjing City of Yueguo, but there are many bandits along the way, and the cloth line has not been enough to protect recently, so we recruit heroes from all walks of life to help escort this batch of goods, and when they arrive in Hongjing City, they will thank them with a lot of money." Those who perform well along the way can consider directly recruiting as official escorts for the cloth line. ”

Everyone also finished reading what was written on the blank paper, and suddenly someone asked: "Dare to ask what requirements you have for recruiting people?" ”

The shouter laughed, "There are only two small requests. ”

Then he pointed to a middle-aged man beside him and said, "Defeat him, or weigh twenty moves under him, and you can join us." ”

"And what about one more request?" Another bystander asked.

"The other is just a small request, and you will know it after hitting him." The one who shouted sold it.

As soon as he finished speaking, some people in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore.

A burly man pushed aside the crowd around him, stepped forward and shouted, "I'll come first, let me see the ability of the Qi Clan's cloth guards!" ”

The shouter laughed, "Okay, please make room for them to show their skills." ”

The two big men stood in the open space vacated by the crowd, and the onlookers retreated one after another. When there was enough space, the burly man roared and rushed directly to the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man still stood still, and when the other party punched him in front of the door, he turned sideways to resist.

The two of you go back and forth, using fists and feet together, and after only five or six moves, the burly man was kicked back more than a meter away by the middle-aged man, and then he began to be beaten passively, without the slightest power to fight back.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten moves passed, and the middle-aged man's hands became heavier and heavier, and finally, the middle-aged man turned around and whipped his legs, kicking the burly man several meters away.

Everyone was amazed when they saw this, and the burly man struggled a few times and couldn't get up again.

The shouting man waved his hand, and two men immediately ran out of the cloth line and carried the burly man to be healed.

The shouter shook his head and said, "It's a pity, if you can survive the next few moves, you can join us." ”

casually smiled and looked at everyone and asked, "Which other hero wants to come up and try it?" If it's hurt, we'll take care of it! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the people. A young man shouted: "I'll come and see how powerful your old brother is, if he is injured by me, I will not be responsible for healing!" ”

"That's nature, please!" The shouter laughed.

There are constantly people being knocked down, and there are constantly people coming forward to challenge.

It wasn't until someone knocked the middle-aged man to the ground that the competition ended.

At this time, the shouting man stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Five people can join us today, plus our remaining guards, the number is enough, thank you for your support!" ”

Suddenly there was another commotion in the crowd, some people were still unsatisfied, and some regretted that they didn't try it earlier.

The shouter turned around and walked back to Qi's cloth shop with the five people who had passed, and everyone dispersed when they saw that there was no excitement to see.

Lin Jian stood in place and looked at the Qi Clan's cloth shop, thoughtful, and then turned around and walked back to the inn.

At night, Lin Jian walked into Qi's cloth shop.

There was a young man in the hall who was tidying up the shop, and when he saw Lin Jian coming in, he stopped what he was doing, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, we have closed, we need to buy something, please come back tomorrow!" ”

Lin Jian replied in a low voice: "I'm looking for your shopkeeper!" ”

The guy looked at the young man who was younger than himself curiously, and directly refused: "Are you looking for the shopkeeper?" He's already rested, so come back tomorrow! ”

Lin Jian stepped forward, "I have something important to do with you Qi Shopkeeper tonight, so please let me know." As he spoke, he stuffed two pieces of silver into the man's hand.

The man quietly put the broken silver into his sleeve and smiled very happily: "Okay, then please wait a while, I'll ask now." ”

"Thank you!"

The guy turned around and walked towards the second floor, and Lin Jian also looked at the layout of the cloth shop hall, which was not luxurious, but it was not shabby.

After a while, the guy walked down from the second floor and said to Lin Jian: "Little brother, the shopkeeper is waiting for you on the second floor, you can go up now." ”

Lin Jian thanked him and walked towards the second floor.

Walked through the hall on the second floor, there was a small private room inside, Lin Jian walked to the door of the private room, and the shouting person who recruited guards on the street during the day was sitting at the coffee table in the private room, dressed in green clothes, with a hairband tied on his head, and drinking tea with his eyes closed.

When the man in Tsing Yi heard the footsteps, he got up and looked at Lin Jian, and then looked at him in surprise, and Lin Jian also looked at the man in Tsing Yi and did not speak.

The man in Tsing Yi suddenly smiled and said: "Little brother, please take a seat, I am the shopkeeper of this shop, you can call me the shopkeeper Qi, come, sit down and drink tea to quench your thirst!" ”

Lin Jian was not polite, sat opposite the shopkeeper Qi, and poured a sip of tea by himself: "Good tea!" ”

Shopkeeper Qi squinted and smiled: "It's just pear valley tea, it's not very good." ”

Then, the shopkeeper Qi took another sip of tea, put down the teacup and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the little brother's clothes should have just been bought, and they are also made of the fabric of our Qi family's cloth shop." ”

"It's just that this gray cloth is a little old, and it can't set off the handsomeness of the little brother, or you have to use white or blue cloth, my second floor is all high-quality cloth, and the little brother will pick up two?"

Lin Jian looked indifferent, put down the teacup and replied: "The clothes are not important, as long as they fit, and the fabric is not important, just match the person." ”

Shopkeeper Qi thought for a moment and smiled: "Okay!" The little brother is right, I don't think the little brother is an ordinary person, so let's get straight to the point, just now the guy came up and said, the little brother is looking for me to discuss something? What is the matter? ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he added a slightly apologetic sentence: "Look at my memory, I don't know what to call the little brother?" ”

Lin Jian also replied politely: "My surname is Han, it is indeed something to take the liberty of disturbing the shopkeeper Qi in the middle of the night, and I want to ask the shopkeeper Qi for help!" ”

Then Lin Jian lowered his voice again: "I heard that the shopkeeper Qi has a batch of goods to be shipped to Yueguo, I want to ask the shopkeeper Qi to help me transport a piece of goods to Yueguo by the way, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The shopkeeper Qi was stunned, "I don't know what Brother Han wants to bring to Yueguo?" ”

Lin Jian stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.

Shopkeeper Qi frowned and said, "Brother Han wants to go to Yue Country with the caravan?" ”

Lin Jian nodded.

The shopkeeper played with the teacup in his hand, and thought for a while before saying: "It's okay to have more of you in the caravan, but Brother Han is still young, I think your words and deeds should also come from a big family, and there are a lot of accidents on the way to Yueguo, so... ”

Lin Jian answered: "On the road, I can take care of myself, I won't bother others, now that it is in the midst of war, I went to Yue Country alone, it was too dangerous, and I had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper Qi for help." ”

Shopkeeper Qi hesitated, and then asked: "Why did Brother Han go to Yueguo, is it convenient to tell you?" ”

Lin Jian sighed: "It's not a secret, although I am not rich and noble, and I live without worrying about food and clothing, but I was affected by the war, and my family was ruined, and now I am the only one left, so I can only go to an uncle in Yueguo." ”

The shopkeeper Qi said: "It's me who is presumptuous, in this case, Brother Han can indeed go to Yue Country with the caravan, but! According to the rules, the price of this escort is not cheap. ”

Lin Jian asked, "How many silver taels do you need?" ”

Shopkeeper Qi thought for a while and said: "In this way, this time the goods are extremely important to our cloth, so during the day, we recruited five people to escort together, Brother Han is just accompanied, this price can be lower, but if you encounter trouble, the caravan needs to protect the goods with all its might, and no one can take care of you." ”

Lin Jian hurriedly replied: "Yes, as the shopkeeper Qi said, if there is trouble, I will ask for more blessings." If there is really an accident, I won't blame the shopkeeper. ”

The shopkeeper Qi said: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I don't want to say more, I just hope that this journey will be smooth." ”

The shopkeeper said, "You have to pay a total of ten taels of silver!" ”

Seeing Lin Jian frowning, the shopkeeper Qi explained: "Ten taels of silver is not much, the guards recruited this time can get ten taels of silver each in the Yue Kingdom, and at this time the war is chaotic, this price is not set by me casually." ”

Lin Jian didn't care if the other party raised the price at this time.

"Then ten taels of silver, when will you leave? I paid when I joined the caravan! ”

Shopkeeper Qi said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow, you wait for the rooster to wait at the South City Gate, and the caravan will go out from the South City Gate at that time." ”

"Then it's decided!" After speaking, Lin Jian took out two taels of silver and handed them to the shopkeeper Qi. "It's a deposit, I'll be on time."

"Okay, and the dry food on the road will be sent to you by someone." Shopkeeper Qi took the silver and added.

Lin Jian clenched his hands into fists, "Thank you Shopkeeper Qi, then I won't disturb your rest." ”

The shopkeeper Qi got up and clenched his fists: "Go slowly!" ”

Lin Jian turned around and walked downstairs.

The guy downstairs said, "Slow down!" After that.

The shopkeeper Qi sat and muttered to himself: "Han family? I've never heard of a big family surnamed Han, what an interesting little brother, I hope you don't have any bad intentions! ”
