Su Yu'er and the three of them turned left and right according to the words of the old man in the black robe, and finally found the alley after walking for a long time, and then honestly lined up at the back of the line.

"When is this going to last?"

Erhei looked at the long queue of people in front of him with some despair, and he didn't know how many people there were.

The three of them lined up boringly, chatting with each other, and before they knew it, it was already getting dark.

Fortunately, the speed of the team's progress was not too slow, and when the moon climbed up the sky, the three of them returned to the same alley as before.

"Hey, you see, the old man hasn't left yet!"

Erhei pointed not far away and whispered.

Su Yu'er turned her head to look when she heard this, and saw that the black-robed old man was walking around the alley, bending down and groping on the ground from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being heard!"

Lao Jiu glanced at Erhei, he always felt that this black-robed old man was not an ordinary person, but he couldn't tell what was special.

"It's weird... It's weird..."

The black-robed old man raised his foot and stomped on the ground fiercely, frowning and muttering to himself.

"This spirit array has obviously been checked several times before, why did it suddenly go wrong?"

In order to carry out the exam smoothly, they specially set aside an area in Tianxuan City to set up a spiritual array, and ordinary people who enter by mistake will be blocked by an invisible force, so that they will not be able to enter this area at all.

Every time the spirit array is opened, Xuanwu Hall disciples will also be sent to inspect and repair it to ensure that it can be used normally.

For many years, the Spirit Array had never malfunctioned, but today, for some reason, it actually broke a hole.

"These little bunnies have never been serious about their work! If I hadn't come in time, this time the matter would have been a big one!"

The black-robed old man had a straight face, thinking in his heart how to teach those naughty apprentices who were not angry.

"Look at what you see! Line up well, don't think about doing anything crooked!"

When passing by Su Yu'er and the others, the black-robed old man suddenly raised his eyebrows and said.

"No... It won't..."

The three of them hurriedly waved their hands.

The black-robed old man nodded, turned around and walked towards the front of the group.

"This stinky old man, I'm so angry, you look at him like that! Don't think anything crooked, are our brothers that kind of people?

Seeing the old man walking away, Erhei jumped to his feet angrily and scolded.

"Candidates, the disciples of Xuanwu Hall who handled the enrollment affairs have returned to the hall, and this is the end of today, so you have to rest in place for the night, but you can rest assured that we will ensure the warmth of the surrounding environment, and provide food and water during the queue, and try to provide better services for everyone. ”

The voice of the black-robed old man suddenly sounded in the alley, and Er Hei was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged Su Yu'er beside him.

"This old man... Didn't you hear me..."

Erhei said with some fear.

"Probably not. ”

Su Yu'er shook her head and frowned at the team in front of her, the originally quiet long queue had already begun to be a little commotion after hearing the words of the black-robed old man.

"What the hell! The master has been standing for a day, and his legs are sore!"

"His Xuanwu Hall disciple has gone back to sleep, let's sleep on the street?"

"What kind of immortal sect is this? I think it's still a liar sect! I already knew to listen to my mother!"

The queue was full of young and vigorous young men, who had been waiting for a day and were already upset, and then heard that they were going to sleep on the street, where could they still suppress the anger in their hearts, and they couldn't help but scold, and many people left the team directly and went home.

The silent alley instantly became noisy, and no one noticed that a man in a black cloak slowly disappeared into the moonlight on the roof overhead.

Tianxuan Inn is the best inn in Tianxuan City, and the worst room in it costs at least five taels of silver, ordinary people can't afford to live at all, and those who can live here are naturally those wealthy businessmen who come and go.

And at this moment, in a first-class room of the Tianxuan Inn, a white and chubby middle-aged man was holding a note in his hand, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"I think I've been a businessman for more than ten years, but it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing!"

Li Guofu slapped the note in his hand on the table fiercely, raised his head and stared coldly at the Daqing and Xiaoqing brothers standing in front of the table.

"The goods stopped in that town for one night, and you lost a box of jade for me!

Daqing Xiaoqing stood with his head down, Daqing secretly took Xiaoqing's hand, although he was also scared in his heart at the moment, but as an elder brother, he always had to stand in front of his younger brother.

"Boss, I overslept that night, it's my responsibility, just let me leave the caravan!"

Daqing said in a low voice, he knelt in front of Li Guofu with a plop, glanced at Xiaoqing beside him, and pleaded.

"I haven't been with you for long, but I know you're a good boss. It's all my fault for this matter, I will try to make money to repay the caravan's losses as much as possible, but Xiaoqing is innocent, can you let him stay..."

"No, it was obviously me who was snooze that day, so this kind of thing happened, brother, I won't stay, I'll go where you go!"

Xiaoqing said hurriedly, holding Daqing's hand tightly.

"Foolish! boss, don't listen to his nonsense, what happened that night has nothing to do with him, it's all my responsibility!"

Daqing stomped his feet angrily when he heard this, now it is too difficult for orphans like them who have no ability and no background to find a decent job, and a good boss like Li Guofu is even more difficult to find, he doesn't know where to go when he leaves the caravan, let alone take his younger brother with him.

"Alright, don't talk about it. ”

Li Guofu interrupted the brothers' words, he stood up and looked at the night outside the window and pondered for a while, then slowly spoke.

"For us merchants, it is taboo for caravans to transport goods, and it is taboo to lose them! You brothers are not properly guarded, and they should be expelled from the caravan and put on the blacklist of merchants!"

Daqing's face changed greatly when he heard this, he had seen much more than Xiaoqing, and naturally knew what the blacklist meant.

If they were put there, not only would the two brothers never be hired by any caravan again in their lives, but no matter what business they wanted to do in the future, no one would do anything with them.

"Boss, be merciful! We know we're wrong!"

Daqing hurriedly begged for mercy, if Li Guofu really did that, then their brothers' lives would basically be over.

"Fortunately, the buyer didn't pursue it, otherwise the caravan would have run for nothing, Daqing Xiaoqing, you brothers have not joined the caravan for a long time, but they work really hard, and I also know that your life is miserable, and it is not easy. ”

Li Guofu turned his back and sighed slowly.

"I'm not going to be so ruthless, you can stay in the caravan and continue to work, but from today there will be no wages until you pay off the loss of that box of jade!"

"Thanks... Thank you to the owner!"

Daqing looked at Li Guofu's back in disbelief, and for a long time, he stood up from the ground tremblingly, and pulled Xiaoqing to bow deeply to that back.

"Alright, you guys should go back and rest early, it's not too early. ”

Li Guofu waved his hand and said.

Daqing Xiaoqing nodded, slowly exited the guest room, and gently closed the door for Li Guofu.

"Xiaoqing, from today onwards, you and I are desperate to do a good job for the boss, do you hear?"

Daqing walked to the staircase, glanced back at the guest room, and suddenly said.

"Well, definitely!"

Xiaoqing nodded heavily.

After the brothers left, Li Guofu was the only one left in the guest room, and he stood in front of the window looking at the night sky outside, not knowing what to think again.

The dim candle flame illuminated the wide wooden table, and the note lay quietly on the table.

On the note, you can faintly see three lines of twisted and crooked large characters.

"IOU!"

"I will lend you a box of jade, and I will pay it back ten times the next day!"

"A stranger on the same side. ”
