Chapter 25: The White Family of the West River

The captain's face stiffened, he took a step to the side, and said patiently: "Since the little brother doesn't want to reveal his origin, he must have a deep meaning, I am the leader of this team, named Chen Liang, if the little brother has any needs, come to me directly." ”

Seeing that Wei Feng avoided answering, he thought that he didn't want to tell him that his years of experience in walking outside had made him know when to enter and when to retreat, and he didn't ask questions, just put what he should have said in place.

"I'm a hunter from a small village below Sanglin County, and there's nothing I can't reveal." Wei Feng chuckled.

Captain Chen Liang took a deep look at him, hugged his fists and left.

In fact, if it weren't for the two distinguished guests in the caravan this time, he wouldn't have come to ask more questions at all, as long as Wei Feng didn't show malicious intent, no matter which family he was a child of mixed in the team, more than one thing was better than less, even if he knew that he was unwilling.

He didn't hear what Wei Feng said at all, when did there be a cultivator in the village, then there must be no immortals in the city? He only thought that this was Wei Feng playing tricks on him, and he was already backing down if he didn't get angry because of this.

Due to the different perceptions of the world between the two people, Wei Feng didn't know that the other party had mistaken him for a monk at the refining stage, if he knew, he would have to say a few more words, and find a way to get some knowledge about cultivation out of this person's mouth.

Wei Feng was still muttering to himself, this person is really inexplicable, he guessed the origin as soon as he came up, he really told you that you ignore people, and I don't know if I care about your eyes or not.

A quarter of an hour later, he ran back to the team with the roasted rabbit, tore off a rabbit's hind leg and handed it to the two of them, and he and the dog happily shared the food.

Chen Liang stared at his back, secretly thinking about his intention in staying in the first queue of guests.

According to his understanding of those cultivation families, the children of the body refining period would generally not let them go out, at least until they reached the cave realm before they would be released to practice.

In addition, cultivators are more inclined to gallop with one person and one horse, and few people are willing to follow the slower caravans, let alone stay in the ranks of the first-class merchants.

This time, he was escorting not only the goods, but also two distinguished guests, so he had to pay special attention to the abnormal people in the team.

The so-called distinguished guests are very expensive guests, in other words, guests who have given a lot of silver.

The standard fee for the third-tier guests is fifty taels, but looking at the posture of the big shopkeeper nodding and bowing before leaving, as well as the continuous admonitions to him, presumably these two guests did not give less money.

In the past, there have been cases where guests have special needs, some have high requirements for food, and some have high requirements for accommodation, which are all additional paid items.

But this time the guests did not have any special requests, except for the fact that the food had to be delivered to the carriage, and they never talked to them again, and they stayed in the carriage on weekdays without showing up, and served them very well.

Judging from the escorts I participated in before, I usually ask for an increase in the escort specifications when I meet a person with a distinguished status, but this time I didn't, just according to the regular specifications.

Shengshi Commercial Bank is one of the largest trading houses in Jiang Country, as long as it is a little far away, the escort of the caravan will have at least one cultivator involved, most of these cultivators are trained by their chamber of commerce themselves, only a small number of them are hired, and they will spend most of their revenue on talent training every year.

The firm stipulates that when encountering an enemy with a huge difference in strength during the delivery of goods, the escort team can choose to abandon the escort and hand over the goods and flee for their lives, and the firm will not be held accountable after verifying the situation, and at the same time, when the enemy captures the practitioner of the firm to escort it, the firm will pay a ransom to redeem the practitioner.

Of course, there were also incidents of hijacking caravans in the years when the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce was first established, and it was not until a certain chamber of commerce jointly eliminated a small local force that no one dared to do this kind of thing of capturing caravan guards in exchange for ransom.

And there are not a few guards in the Dongfu and Tuomai Realm of the Shengshi Commercial Bank in Yanzhou, and there are even caravan guards in the Longmen Realm at the highest, as long as the price of the guests is in place, it is just a matter of words to let them come from other county towns.

This time, the caravan went to Tianyang City, a standard Dongfu realm monk plus twenty guards, so Chen Liang speculated that the guest this time just paid more money, and his identity was not very noble, Wei Feng was unwilling to reveal his origin, as long as he didn't take the initiative to find trouble, he would be without this person.

After three quarters of an hour, the caravan departed and resumed its journey.

The convoy did not occur for the next two days until it arrived in Xihe County, the second largest city in Yanzhou, on the evening of the tenth day.

The caravan entered the city smoothly, drove to the commercial house station in Xihe County, and explained the departure time of the morning of the day, and the passengers dispersed in twos and threes.

Wei Feng strolled along the wide path in the city, and couldn't help pouting, the news he heard in Changping County was unreliable, it may be that the soil buns of Changping County sat in the well and watched the sky, this Xihe County covers an area of two or three larger than Changping, and the prosperity of the city is not small.

There are only a few streets in Changping County that appear to be extraordinarily prosperous, but not in Xihe County, the streets and alleys are full of pedestrians, and there are more or less people stopping in front of the street vendors, and the degree of wealth of the residents can be seen, which is comparable to Changping.

took the dog all the way to eat and eat, and after being satisfied, he found an inn and stayed.

-----------------

The moon and stars are scarce, in a large house in Xihe County.

"Master, I've got the list for you." One of the servants bent down and handed Bai Shangjie a piece of information.

"Ahem, okay, you go down first." Bai Shangjie's face was pale, and although he had already taken the healing medicine prepared for him by his family, it would take some time to return to his full state.

After Wei Feng left that day, he breathed in place for two hours before temporarily suppressing his injuries and recovering some of his combat ability.

Only when he was in a better state did he have time to think about the previous battle, and only then did he have the time to analyze the many oddities.

The one who only thought that he could shoot so accurately and skillfully on a rainy day must be a cultivator who is good at archery, but he ignored one point, that is, the arrow itself is just an ordinary arrow, not a spirit arrow that can exert Yuan Force, and there is no Yuan Force fluctuation on it.

Moreover, it is understandable that the other party does not hide his breath, this is to convey goodwill to him, but the speed of that person's departure is a little slow.

Thinking of this, he got up and went to the place where the man had been, and found some traces on a large tree.

Wei Feng was supporting Bai Shangjie in the Maoer Mountain Forest at that time, in order to ensure his own safety, he had to keep a sufficient distance, and the distance was too far for the range was a test, after all, what he held in his hand was only novice equipment, even if it was stronger than an ordinary bow and crossbow, but more than a mile was also the limit.

So he thought of using the height difference to increase the combat radius, and he found a tall tree less than a mile away and climbed it, which can also convert part of the gravitational potential energy to ensure that the arrow still has enough lethality when it flies.

But the process inevitably leaves some traces of climbing, and the rain can wash away the footprints, but it can't clean them up in a short period of time.

However, people in this world cannot rely on modern instruments to detect them, so some of the knowledge that cultivators must know is to judge the opponent's whereabouts, strength, and exercises based on the traces left by the enemy.

Therefore, Wei Feng, who thought that he had not exposed any characteristics, still left some clues, and Bai Shangjie judged his strength and skill based on the traces he left on the branches, and guessed that he was probably not a monk.

But if it weren't for cultivators, would ordinary people have such amazing archery skills?

He wanted to follow the traces, but unfortunately the footprints had been washed away by the rain, so he could only give up and follow the general direction that Wei Feng was far away from to the mountain and forest path.

As a member of the Bai family in Xihe County, he is well aware of the terrain in this area, and there are very few pedestrians on this road in the mountains and forests, because the places leading to it are limited, and he can only go to Xihe County.

After returning to the Bai family, he explained this matter to his subordinates as soon as possible, considering the footsteps of ordinary people, he asked for a list of all the people who had entered the city from the direction of that trail as of before dark today, and as for the more detailed information of the people on the list, it would be sent by the subordinates after summarizing.
