8 I am but a wretched creature ruled by desires

The caravan set off, without saying a word all the way.

The route from Fengming City to Qushui Town, the giant shield escort has traveled countless times, and he is naturally familiar with it.

The road was calm and there were no twists and turns.

Captain Li of the caravan is not very good, and there are nearly forty talents in the three realms.

However, he was quite experienced, and he had successfully arrived at the intended location at dusk, and was now building a camp.

If nothing else, tomorrow afternoon, they should be in Qushui Town.

Zuo Chang hastily ate dinner and squatted by the bonfire to roast.

I don't know why......

He was a little apprehensive in his heart, as if something was going to happen.

Before leaving, Blood Rose had clearly said that she had arranged for a Three Realms spellcaster to escort her.

But until now, Zuo Chang had not seen this spellcaster.

With Blood Rose's abilities, she couldn't have done this little thing.

It must have been something wrong with that spellcaster, who didn't catch up.

"Alas!"

Zuo Chang sighed faintly, a little helpless.

The caster of the Three Realms is not strong when it is said to be strong. But in a dilapidated place like 96511, it is still a little combative, and standing next to it can give people a sense of security.

"Sir, your name is Zuo Chang, right?"

Captain Li's voice sounded in front of him.

Zuo Chang looked up and saw two people.

One of them was Captain Lee, and the other couldn't see his face clearly.

It was a man under a black cloak, it was supposed to be a woman, and she couldn't see her fat or thin, and she couldn't see her face.

Judging by her exposed red lips, this should be a very attractive woman.

Her lips were neither thick nor thin, they were clearly just naturally closed, but there was a faint smile. The color on the lips is as vivid as a strawberry stained with water, and even if you can't see more, these lips alone are enough to arouse the desire of others.

It's a pity that the height is not high.

The girl can be as good as Zuo Chang's chest, and she may still be in the growth period.

Zuo Chang stood up and said, "I am." ”

This time, it was the cloaked man who spoke.

Her voice was crisp, and her tail tone was raised, and she felt quite cheerful in her ears: "You are the 'very important person' in the mouth of the 'chief', Zuo Chang?" ”

Oh!

Here it comes?

Blood Rose was Zuo Chang's "Chief of the Security Bureau" at the beginning, and at that time, everyone else called her "Chief Rose" when they saw her.

The girl in front of her may be afraid of scaring Captain Li, after all, Blood Rose is not an ordinary person, so she is vaguely called "chief".

Zuo Chang hurriedly said: "I am!" The Chief said that I would meet a spellcaster in Fengming City? Is that you? ”

"Yes yes, I received a telegram and she asked me to help look after you."

She held out her palm in a friendly manner.

"Mr. Zuo Chang, you can call me Lychee. I'm a scholar and I'm currently traveling around 96511, hoping to find proof that General Tianwang is still alive, Miss Lychee! ”

All four of Lychee's nails are painted with blue nail polish, but the middle finger is clean and spotless, and I don't know what happened.

Zuo Chang held her weak and boneless little hand and said, "My name is Zuo Chang, fortunately." ”

Captain Li stood aside and watched silently.

He opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zuo, it may be a bit sudden for me to say this...... However, we are about to have a battle on the horizon, and it can be dangerous. ”

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸβ€

What, what's wrong?

Good end, why fight?

Zuo Chang didn't know why, he looked at the quiet night, looked at the calm camp, and asked, "Battle?" ”

Captain Li nodded with a serious face: "Yes." Fight. A gang of thieves secretly concealed three 'valuables' in the cargo under the guise of the signboard escorted by my giant shield. If nothing else, we're going to have an accident. ”

Zuo Chang remained silent and asked, "It's iron guts, right?" ”

β€œοΌβ€

β€œοΌβ€

Lychee and Captain Li were stunned, and they didn't understand how Zuo Chang guessed!

Lychee didn't hide her surprise and asked, "How do you know?" Are you complicit?! That's not right...... You are the chief introducer and should be reliable. ”

Zuo Chang shook his head: "Of course my origin is innocent, you don't have to doubt this." The reason why I can guess is purely because the security at the city gate is too strict, and there is a 10-billion-ton mine on the edge of Fengming City, it is difficult not to wonder if the iron gall is lost. ”

Yes......

Lychee and Captain Li glanced at each other, and they both felt that it made sense.

Zuo Chang asked rhetorically, "How do you know?" ”

Lychee quickly replied: "When they secretly let iron guts go in, I saw it." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What? ”

"I saw it."

Lychee said it again.

Pointing to one of the wagons, she continued: "I was sitting in the carriage and I saw someone holding a box and getting under the wagon. When he came out again, the box in his hand was suddenly gone. ”

Captain Li said, "Miss Lychee told me that I was worried that someone was carrying contraband, which might affect the reputation of the giant shield escort, so I went to check it out. And thenβ€”"

He pulled out an iron box engraved with runes.

The box opened, revealing three round silver-gray stones.

Under the light of the campfire, the cobblestone emitted a warm lusterβ€”

It's not a reflected fire, it's a glittering silver light.

These three cobblestones come with their own treasures!

It's exactly the same as the standing painting in the game, it's really iron!

But what is it called?

The most clever method of solving the crime is not a meticulous and exquisite reasoning, but a direct witness to the scene of the crime, right?

Captain Li hesitated a little, and he asked, "Mr. Zuo, you seem to know Tie Gut?" This thing...... Is it really iron-clad? I think it's very precious, but I can't be sure of its origin, if it's really the legendary iron gall, one will cost millions! ”

Zuo Chang looked calm: "This is iron gall." It is shaped like a chicken egg, the color is silver gray, and the surface is extremely smooth, even under the most brilliant microscopic magic, there is not a single bump or irregularity. Iron gall is the essence of iron, the top magic material, adding one when crafting a weapon can improve the sharpness of the weapon by a notch! A few million is actually in a hurry to sell, and it is cheaper. ”

Millions, or cheaper?

This time......

I'm really going to send it!

Captain Li's face was pious and silent.

After a while, he picked up an iron gall and handed it to Lychee;

picked up another iron gall and handed it to Zuo Chang.

The last iron gall was put into his chest pocket: "Mr. Zuo, Miss Lychee, I have been working in the giant shield escort for ten years, and I have been dedicated to my duties and dedication...... But even so, the monthly commission is not counted, and the salary is only seventy or eighty thousand......"

Zuo Chang looked up at him, holding an iron gall in his hand: "What do you mean...... Be? ”

Captain Li looked up at the sky with a sad face: "I thought that with my work ethic, I could refuse any temptation. Even if there are tens of millions of cash piled up in front of me, I will not betray my integrity and make the shameful act of abandoning the mission! But just now...... It's so simple, my bottom line is broken. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zuo Chang looked at Captain Li with the eyes of garbage.

Lychee's eyes were hidden under the hood, and she couldn't see her expression, thinking that her appearance at the moment should be the same as Zuo Chang.

Captain Lee's dead fish eyes are gone, and his eyes are blazing, like huskies.

His face was full of seriousness, and he said: "Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and in the final analysis, I am just a poor worm who is played with by desire. Mr. Zuo, Miss Litchi, let's go now! It's good to go anywhere, the captain of this broken escort team has a lot of money, little money and a lot of risk, and he is running around in the wilderness all day long! I didn't want to do it for a long time! ”
