Chapter 623: Mysterious Stalker
"The villain is willing!"
Nabihai's answer did not hesitate in the slightest, and this matter did not allow him to hesitate.
As a guide, now that he knows that his employer has found such a large treasure, if he were replaced by someone else, he would already be a corpse by now.
Shao Xi did not do that, but invited him to join him at the cost of a huge reward.
For him at this time, money is no longer the most important thing, knowing the secrets that he shouldn't know, it is a great gift that people can still spare your life.
At this moment, whenever he spits out half a "no" word, it is estimated that Shao Xi does not need to speak, and the strong man named Fu Biao next to him may directly take his life with a knife in his hand.
What's more, Shao Xi also promised that he would share a whole box of gold with him after the matter was completed, and he didn't have to make any choice between losing his life and getting rich, or he didn't have a choice at all.
Fu Biao, who was on the side, heard Shao Xi's words, and naturally understood the intention of the head of the family in his heart, what does Nabihai mean to follow him inseparably?
To put it bluntly, it's just to keep an eye on the Nabihai Sea, but it's better to put it another way.
He also understood the intentions of his family master and Wu's predecessors from the eyes of Shao Xi and Lao Wu, which was actually not at ease with Nabihai, let himself come to see him, and he could make his own decisions when necessary.
From another point of view, handing over this kind of thing to oneself also proves the trust that the head of the family has in him.
Fu Biao glanced at Nabihai beside him from the corner of his eye, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, if this person had any actions that were unfavorable to the head of the family, he would not hesitate to kill him.
And Nabihai also seemed to feel Fu Biao's gaze, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
It seems that before all the treasures here are transported away, he can only honestly follow Fu Biao to do what a guide should do, and he can't have any thoughts of getting out of control.
But for him himself, as long as he doesn't have crooked thoughts, it's not a bad thing.
Being able to serve an employer for a long time is not only well paid, but all of your living needs during this period are provided by the employer free of charge.
For those who work as guides in the desert, although they have lost some freedom, they have been fully guaranteed in life.
What do they do all year round in the desert? Isn't it just for life?
Isn't it a good thing that there is such a talkative and generous employer who is willing to hire him for a long time?
Since Shao Xi did not choose to kill himself when he discovered the treasure, as long as he does not move his greed, I believe that he will not worry about his life in the future.
Shao Xi knew that although Nabihai was kind and honest, he was very smart, and he was very familiar with current affairs in this matter and knew the current situation.
Since he is willing to cooperate with himself, then there is nothing to worry about, and there is no need for him to hide anything from Nabihai in the future.
So in front of Fu Biao and Nabihai, he made some arrangements for the next things.
First of all, I have to pack a batch of treasures and bring them back, and I have come here, and this trip back cannot be disappointed, but at the moment, there are five people and four camels, and it is obvious that this matter cannot be completed.
Shao Xi arranged for Fu Biao and Nabihai to return to Wuhai City first to get in touch with Sun Lichang, although Shao Xi did not trust the rest of the caravan, Sun Lichang still trusted him.
After Fu Biao returned, he informed Sun Lichang of the treasure according to Shao Xi's arrangement, and at the same time asked Sun Lichang to secretly buy a few camels to be brought back here by Fu Biao and Nabihai.
After taking out a small part of the treasure first, Fu Biao took Nabihai and Sun Lichang back to Daliang City in the Central Plains to meet Zhang Huanzhi, and explained to Zhang Huanzhi that Shao Xi wanted to arrange a large number of people to enter Wuhai Country in the name of the caravan of Taihe Commercial Bank.
Then he entered the palace to meet Xiao Changyi and made the matter clear, and Xiao Changyi arranged for people to cooperate with Taihe Commercial Bank to come to Jinwu Mountain in Wuhai Kingdom to secretly transport this large amount of treasure back to the Central Plains in batches.
This is just a rough arrangement, and the details have to be done one by one.
First of all, Shao Xi wanted to hand over Zhang Huanzhi's gold medal from Taihe Commercial Bank and the royal gold medal from his own palace to Fu Biao.
Otherwise, even if Fu Biao returns to Daliang City, it will be difficult to move an inch, and only with these two brands in his hands can Fu Biao talk to Zhang Huanzhi and Xiao Changyi about this matter.
In order to increase credibility and avoid Xiao Changyi and Zhang Huanzhi from suspecting Fu Biao, in addition to the treasures that Fu Biao brought back, Shao Xi even handed over his "Jing Chengsi" waist card to Fu Biao.
At the same time, Shao Xi also handed over two handwritten letters to Fu Biao, who forwarded them to Zhang Huanzhi and Xiao Changyi.
These two guys are old foxes, if they are not sure that this news was transmitted back by themselves, they may not know how to deal with Fu Biao.
During this period, no matter where Fu Biao went, even if he returned to Daliang City, Nabihai had to follow Fu Biao.
Since the whole thing was done in secret, the only one who could leak the news was Nabihai, so from this moment on, Fu Biao and Nabihai had to tie their lives together.
When Fu Biao heard that the head of the family had entrusted him with such an important matter, he couldn't help but panic.
He follows Shao Xi on weekdays, everything is arranged by Shao Xi, he only needs to execute it, but this time Shao Xi completely handed over the matter to him.
Although it provided him with some convenience, after returning to Daliang City, whether it was facing Zhang Huanzhi or Xiao Changyi, it could be called a hellish level of difficulty for Fu Biao.
Zhang Huanzhi, who is the big shopkeeper of the world-famous Taihe Commercial Bank, is not a little higher than his own guard of the Shao family.
Now he has to explain and arrange so many things with this rich businessman, which Fu Biao didn't even dare to think about back then.
What's even worse is that the second person he wants to see is the current saint Xiao Changyi!
The last time he entered the palace with Shao Xi, he was like a dumpling who had just entered the city, and he was fortunate to see the third prince Xiao Yuzhan, which made him so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.
It's good this time, just let him face the saint! Fu Biao just thought about it at this moment, and his legs and stomach trembled.
He was not afraid of being born and dying on the battlefield back then, but thinking that he was about to meet this person at the peak of the power of the Jingyuan Dynasty, Fu Biao felt that his three souls and seven spirits were about to disperse.
How much does the head of the family trust himself? Giving himself the opportunity to face the two most important people in the world is not only the trust of the head of the family, but also the promotion of the head of the family.
With such a heavy trust from the head of the family, even if he fights for his own life, he will definitely complete it for the head of the family, and he will never live up to this trust and promotion!
"The head of the family trusts the villain so much, the villain must go to the soup and go to the fire, and complete the entrusted things for the head of the family, and the head of the family can only give orders."
Shao Xi saw Fu Biao's excitement at this time, so he smiled and instructed: "Brother Fu, I naturally trust you by handing over this matter to you, if you have anything on the way back to the Central Plains, let Shopkeeper Sun arrange it for you."
"Don't forget that you are secretly returning to Daliang City this time, except for going to see the big shopkeeper of Taihe Commercial Bank and entering the palace to face the saint, don't have any intersection with anyone, let alone go back to the Frost Snow Tower.
"This matter can be said to be related to the future of my Jingyuan Dynasty, everything must be carried out in secret, this is not only my trust to you as the head of the family, but also the heavy responsibility entrusted to you by the current saint, there must be no mistakes."
Fu Biao knelt on his knees and replied, "Please rest assured, master!" Even if the villain loses his life, he will definitely fulfill the trust of the head of the family. ”
Shao Xi pulled Fu Biao up, and said with a smile: "Don't move, don't die, if you lose your life, who will do things for me in the future?" It's enough to do things well, what use do I want your life? ”
"That's what the head of the house said!"
The more people they trust, the more they will be entrusted with important tasks, and Fu Biao, as a former soldier, is very clear about this truth.
Shao Xi was able to hand over such an important matter to him, which showed that he had already regarded him as a family member.
At this time, Fu Biao was very glad that he had returned to the Western Regions with Shao Xi without permission in Qingshan County, and now he was finally able to solve problems for his family master.
Shao Xi pulled a piece of cloth skin, grabbed a few handfuls of gold leaves from the clay jar next to him, wrapped them, and threw them to Fu Biao.
"Don't treat Shopkeeper Sun badly after you return to Wuhai City, send him some gold leaves, and let him buy a few camels for you now, and there are many things to trouble him in the future."
"The villain understands."
After everything was explained, Shao Xi turned his head and looked at the treasures that were beyond ordinary people's cognition, and there was no excitement in his heart at this time.
Wealth is a thing that you desire to have when you don't have it, and you want to have it when you have less, but when it is more than you know, as long as you are not an insatiable person, you will find that you will really lose interest in these things.
Of course, this is just Shao Xi's own thoughts, at this time, Lao Wu is desperately stuffing those gold leaves and gold coins into his arms, a typical face of a greedy ghost and a miser.
Shao Xi looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head, is there so much wealth here that you still need to carry it in your arms? A few pieces of gold leaf can be glued to the soles of walking shoes, and it is not a shame to be old.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi also reached out and grabbed the golden leaf and stuffed it into his arms, and then pretended to be casual and beckoned a few people to return to the cave together.
I don't know how many days it will take for Fu Biao and Nabihai to return to Wuhai City, so I can't stay in this cave with Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er all the time, right? They're not the horned lizards.
The way out for a few people is much easier than when they come in, after all, the route has been figured out, and the stone gate that hinders them in the end has also been opened, and it is naturally a familiar road to return to the outside of the cave.
Just when several people had already seen the light at the entrance of the cave, Shao Xi suddenly pressed the torch in his hand against the stone wall to extinguish it, and motioned to several other people behind him to also extinguish the torch.
Shao Xi's actions suddenly made several people nervous again, they all knew that Shao Xi was a "Qi Transformation Realm" martial artist, and he had dual meridians, and his perception ability was far beyond that of ordinary martial arts cultivators.
The sudden act of extinguishing his torch proves that he must have sensed something, and that this perceived presence should pose a mortal threat to the several of them, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so nervous.
Lao Wu couldn't help but ask Shao Xi in a low voice, "Stinky boy, have you found anything again?" ”
"Hmm."
Shao Xi replied softly and didn't say anything more.
Seeing Shao Xi so cautious, the other people also held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound.
At this time, they were very sure that Shao Xi must have found something, but at this time, Shao Xi didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask more.
After a while, Shao Xi said in a low voice: "There are people outside the entrance of the cave, at least ten or more, they are searching our luggage, and a few people are setting up an ambush outside the entrance of the cave to ambush a few of us. ”
"You can feel this?"
Lao Wu's face was incredulous.
He knew that Shao Xi's perception ability was super strong, but he couldn't imagine that he could feel the sound coming from outside the cave and the location of everyone.
"How far do you think they are from us? You think that the entrance to the cave is far away just because the entrance is small and there is too little light coming in, but in fact they are only a dozen feet away from us at the moment. ”
Lao Wu didn't doubt Shao Xi's judgment, but asked with some doubts: "What kind of person would run to the end of the Niujiao Valley of this Golden House Mountain like us?" Doesn't it mean that there are few people in this area? ”
Shao Xi, who was in the dark, hooked the corners of his mouth and revealed a sneer.
"Do you still need to bother to guess this? Neither the caravan nor the horse bandits would come here, and there was only one possibility to have the courage to enter the area around Jinwu Mountain and make it all the way to the end of the Ox Horn Valley. ”
"You mean ......?"
"You guessed it, this group of guys was sent by McGid to follow us all the way, and they are indeed a group of masters, and I didn't find out all the way here."
Lao Wu sighed in the darkness and whispered to Shao Xi: "It seems that your identity is too dazzling, you have made such a big deal with the old king, and he is not at ease with you!" ”
Shao Xi snorted lightly.
"I expected him to send someone to follow and monitor, but I didn't expect him to send so many spies to follow us all the way, and it seems that he is very interested in the purpose of our departure from Wuhai City this time."
Lao Wu couldn't help but be a little nervous at this time.
"Did the old king realize that we had come out in search of that royal treasure? How did he find out? ”
"It's Alia, when we asked her about the 'Tears of the Desert Goddess' in the territory of the White Night Country before, she should have noticed that we had a clue to the royal treasure of the Wuhai Kingdom, and she should have told McJid about it."
Although he couldn't see the expression on Lao Wu's face, it was definitely conceivable that he was already full of surprise at this time.
"That's it? Will they be suspicious of us? ”
"Huh! Don't underestimate this father and daughter, McJid has no son at such an age, and he has been trying to recruit a horse, just planning to hand over Wuhaiguo to his precious daughter, and this father and daughter are not idle. ”
Fu Biao on the side asked Shao Xi softly at this time: "Family master, what should we do now?" ”
"Squat here and wait until it gets dark."
"Wait until it gets dark? And then what? ”
"And then? Of course, I went out to kill them, but could I go out and worship them? ”
"Uh......, got it."
