Chapter 65: Aoki Town (Part II)

85_85826Five days later, six teenagers on horseback like caged birds arrived in the chaotic town of Aoki.

Long Jianye and the others were very curious, and looked around with wide eyes. The developed trade made Aoki Town very prosperous, even larger than the county seat of Anhuai.

The shops on both sides of the street were lined up with a variety of goods for sale, and they even saw a row of slaves in front of one shop, selling openly with their hands tied!

Song Ning had heard more or less about some things here, and said in a low voice: "I heard that as long as you have money here, you can buy whatever you want." ”

Sun Shen said: "In other words, there are countless illegal transactions?"

"Needless to say, it's just a legal deal, who would go to such a great lengths to get to a place where this bird doesn't. ”

Tatsumino gradually sensed that something was wrong: "Why do I feel that the eyes of these people around me are becoming more and more unfriendly?"

Sun Ang, who was a man of two lives, chuckled in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "A group of half-grown children, without the elders of the family to accompany them, came to this kind of place alone, do you understand what this means?"

Qiu Yirui's face changed: "In their eyes, we are fat sheep, maybe someone is planning to capture us and sell us as slaves." ”

The faces of the other four also changed.

Sun Shen asked: "Jianye, you planned to come to Aoki Town, now that we are here, what is your next plan, don't tell sΓΉ that you don't have a plan, then you will kill us." ”

Long Jianye hurriedly said, "Yes." I have a neighbor's eldest brother, Liu Tong, who works as a guard at the Bei'an firm here, and we went to look for him. ”

The six people raised their vigilance, and Sun Ang's hand shrunk in his sleeve was already ready for the swallow-tailed crossbow. Everyone searched for Bei'an business all the way.

Although the people around him are not good-looking, they have all been in Aoki Town for decades and have developed a pair of fiery eyes. These young boys and girls are not weak in themselves, and they are likely to be wearing divine weapons.

It shows that they have a strong background behind them, and if they are captured, they can't make much money by selling slaves, but the revenge they face is a catastrophe, which is really not cost-effective.

So the six of them stood at the door of the Bei'an Firm, a shop of leather goods from the Far Counties of Crystal Town, at least on the surface.

Long Jianye went up to negotiate for a while, and saw a tall young man in black running out of it with a surprised face, hugging Long Jianye, and laughing: "Your kid has grown up so quickly, let Brother Liu take a look." ”

Long Mino greeted him for a while, and then introduced it to everyone.

Liu Tong looked at the five people, obviously all of them were children of the family, and smiled a little reluctantly: "You asked someone to bring me a message, saying that you were going to come to practice, I thought you were the only one." ”

Long Jianye hurriedly explained: "They are all good friends of mine, and the martial arts cultivation is not under me, so it will not drag you down." ”

"But ......" Liu Tong had a difficult face: "I told Steward Zhao in advance that it was one person, and suddenly there were five more, and the team couldn't arrange so many people." ”

Sun Ang stepped forward and said, "A few of us don't need to be paid, we just came out to practice." ”

"That's right. Liu Tong's face looked a lot better: "Then I'll talk about it again, go, follow me in and wait." ”

Along the way, he greeted people very casually, and everyone in the business saw him come in with a group of half-grown teenagers, and they all asked with a smile: "Liu Tong, have you changed your career to be the child king?"

"How much money do their parents give Mama Liu a month?"

Liu Tong said angrily: "Get out of the way, they are going to enlist as a guard." ”

Everyone in the business opened their mouths and blinked: "Liu Tong, even if you are pulling people for the business, you have to ask them if they have been weaned, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Tong held back the fire in his belly, and he had to pull the indignant Long Jianye and others behind him: "Don't be like them, people who beg for a life on the knife edge are all this stinky virtue." ”

When they got inside, Liu Tong asked them to wait in his room, and he went to Steward Zhao for instructions.

Unexpectedly, not long after he went out, the whole business suddenly became in turmoil.

Sun Ang immediately lifted a chair against the door and looked out of the window. Long Jianye said: "Don't worry, Brother Liu won't harm us." ”

But Sun Ang was still cautious, but fortunately, the riots outside were just the company's own manpower coming and going. After a while, he saw Liu Tong coming back in a hurry, and Sun Ang hurriedly opened the door.

As soon as Liu Tong came in, he began to pack up his things: "There is an emergency, there is a batch of goods to be transported away immediately, and there is just a group of guards who are still outside and have not rushed back, there are not enough people, Steward Zhao agreed, and the six of you will accompany you together, and you will be paid the same as ordinary guards." It's a great condition, I didn't expect such a high pay, if you don't have any opinions, just go now. ”

The six of them glanced at each other, and Long Jianye immediately said, "No opinion." ”

Sun Ang wanted to say something but held back, he couldn't even wait for the guards, the situation didn't seem good.

The six people followed Liu Tong out of the door, and Steward Zhao had already gathered all the people who could be used in the courtyard. There were thirty people in total.

Someone saw a strange middle-aged man standing in the team, and immediately asked very unceremoniously: "Steward Zhao, who is this guy?"

Middle-aged people have an ordinary appearance, and they belong to the kind that can't be found if they are thrown into the pile. was questioned by others, and he was also unfazed.

Steward Zhao said: "This is my distant relative Ding Qilin, who happened to come to me today, and everyone will carry out this mission together." ”

Everyone muttered a few words, obviously dissatisfied with the sudden addition of strangers before the urgent mission, but they didn't have a seizure when they looked at Steward Zhao's face.

When Steward Zhao saw Liu Tong coming, he waved his hand and said, "Liu Tong, a few of them follow you." Okay, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Liu Tong told Sun Ang Liu: "Keep up, don't fall behind, I won't be able to take care of you if you're too far away." ”

The guards hurried out of the shop and walked through the bustling streets, and Sun Ang felt as if he had been pricked with a needle a few timesβ€”a keen sense of spirituality alerting him that someone was spying on him.

He frowned, such fanfare, for fear that others would not be able to see it, seemed to really attract attention.

Out of Aoki Town, Steward Zhao said to everyone: "The destination this time is Guyang City in Zhenyuan County, it is estimated that it will take three days to arrive, but there are several bandits on the way, so everyone must be vigilant." ”

Aoki Town is located between the mountains and mountains, and is surrounded by several fragments of Dao Yayuan, and it is common for wild beasts to scurry onto the roads near the town to attack caravans.

In the evening, they found a cave and lit a campfire to prepare for camp.

There was always a tense atmosphere in the team, and Long Mino and the others, who had experienced this kind of life for the first time, were both scared and faintly excited.

Boom!

With a loud bang, an iron bucket was thrown at the feet of Su Qiang and Song Ning, and the sturdy guard with a scruffy beard said with a lewd smile: "Two little chicks, go and wash the feet of the uncle." ”

The two women were ashamed and angry.

The guards around laughed: "Not only do you have to serve and wash your feet, but you also have to pinch your legs and beat your back!"

There is a more obscene whisper in the back: "It's a pity, I'm still a little young, and my body hasn't grown yet, otherwise, I would sleep in my arms, and then I will lose my soul, looking at a few small faces, I see that it is a beautiful embryo." ”

Sun Shen and Long Jianye were furious, but they were held down by Liu Tong.

Liu Tong stood up with a calm face and glared at his beard angrily: "Zheng Bang, you want to fight, right? I'll accompany you!"

Zheng Bang sneered: "Liu Tong, what do you think you are? Aren't you just a fart guard in the business, and you actually dare to lead six burdensome people to carry out tasks."

You don't want to live, we don't want to die yet!

Since they are here, they can't take money for nothing! If they can't be counted on in battle, then they have to obediently serve the masters, otherwise why should the uncles protect them?"

Obviously, the nervous feelings along the way made these guards who licked blood from the knife edge become agitated. As soon as Zheng Bang finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in: "That's right! We've walked all the way, what's wrong with letting the six little guys who don't contribute to the money for nothing boil the footwater?"

"Liu Tong, if you know each other, get out of the way quickly, otherwise I will fight you for a while!"

Liu Tong pulled out his knife in anger, and half of the unsheath was suddenly gently pushed by a hand. With a choking sound, the long knife was pushed back again.

It turned out to be the newcomer Ding Qilin. He stood next to the circulation, but in a flat tone, there was some unquestionable majesty: "Zheng Bang, don't make trouble." It's a dangerous journey, and one more person has more strength.

These six little guys have little experience, let them rest in the cave, in case they go out and encounter enemies, I'm afraid they won't even be able to call the police, and it will be dangerous for everyone. ”

Zheng Bang was furious: "What are you, do you have a part in talking here?"

Steward Zhao shouted angrily: "Zheng Bang shut up for me! Do what Ding Qilin said, whoever is not convinced, let Lao Tzu get out now!"

The guards left with hatred, and before leaving, they glared at Ding Qilin and Liu Tong fiercely.

Liu Tong sat back and sighed secretly, he didn't expect that he would encounter so many things when he took his neighbor Long Jianye to practice. He looked at Sun Ang and the six people, and said in a low voice: "On the road tomorrow, let's keep a low profile." Don't be too stubborn, if they ask you to do something that isn't too excessive, they'll do it for them. ”

He looked at the guards again: "Although I have been wronged, I will leave some good feelings for everyone, if I can't take care of you at a critical moment, they may still save your lives." ”

After speaking, he went to Steward Zhao to arrange the vigil.

Leaving Sun Ang and the six of them, everyone was silent and did not speak, and what happened just now made them very annoyed.

"Sleep, refresh yourself. Sun Ang said lightly, what was the incident just now compared to the humiliation he had experienced in the Anhuai Sun clan before?

However, it was also because Zheng Bang didn't look for Qiu Yirui just now, otherwise Liu Tong would definitely not be able to hold him down.

......

The caravan was on guard all night, but it was safe.

Early in the morning, everyone boiled water, washed their faces and cooked, and prepared to go on the road.

Sun Ang slept soundly last night. Although the guards were very upset with Ding Qilin, they also admitted that his words were reasonable. Therefore, if the six inexperienced newcomers are not arranged to keep vigil, it is tantamount to risking everyone's lives.

But after Sun Ang woke up, he always felt unsteady. The Immortal Emperor's heart demon seemed to be reminding him of something, and Sun Ang looked around.

This cave is not far from the official road, but in such a lofty mountain, the official road is not safe.

The terrain outside the cave is complex, with ups and downs, and there is a dense forest not far away. The reason why Steward Zhao and others camped here was completely due to habit, and it was a fixed camp here.

Sun Ang glanced at Long Jianye and a few people, and everyone followed him and gathered behind a boulder outside the entrance of the cave.
