Chapter 108: Team

Gu Shenwei is the leader of the guards, and there is another big leader in the entire gift-giving procession, who will present gifts to the big head god on behalf of Dubu King and Shangguan Nu and his wife, and the brown belt killer will also obey his orders.

This big leader is a Qing slave, the former companion of the Shangguan family twins, and after waiting for five or six children of the royal lord in the academy, he finally rose to prominence and became one of the housekeepers in the inner house.

At the beginning, Qingnu was very dissatisfied with Huan Nu, but his attitude was only aimed at status and not against people, so when he saw Huan Nu who became a brown belt killer again, he behaved very politely, and even patted the other party's shoulder, and praised a few words in the tone of "old boss", "Yes, you did a good job, Huan Nu, we can have more relationships in the future, I will invite you to drink when I come back, haha." ”

The gift given to the god by Jinpeng Castle filled twenty boxes and was carried by ten camels, and it took an hour to get from the top to the north gate, but it took a day to get from the north gate to the east gate.

The Brown Belt Killers were armed with weapons, and the gifts included many swords, and the guards at the gates respectfully received the goods and sent them beyond the east gates.

The others went straight to an inn outside the east gate to wait, and Qing Nu took people to the southern city to look for the camel drivers, porters, cooks, and other handymen, and then went to a casino to contact the people who had been planted in the city by the Iron Mountain bandits.

The Iron Mountain bandits crisscross the Western Regions, and the camp is often moved, so it is not easy to find them, and someone in the know must lead the way.

The person brought back by Qingnu is called Jiang Chenghai, a very majestic name, a weathered face, it seems to be very reassuring, but there are people who know him in the inn, calling him "Pour Third Brother" and "Pour San'er", this name quickly spread.

After a busy day, everything was ready, and the weapons of the brown-belted killers were also received as they were, bows and arrows, narrow knives, daggers, all of the same, and Liuhua was equipped with three bows and three kinds of arrows: longbows, short bows, and arm crossbows.

Gu Shenwei consulted with the lotus girl in private and asked her to pay attention to Liuhua's actions, although Jinpeng Castle strictly forbade killers to plot against each other, and the masters also emphasized the importance of cooperation countless times, he still couldn't trust the lone marksman.

In the early morning of the next day, the gift-giving team left the inn and officially set off.

The person who led the way was the third child, but the one who rode in front was the white camel with the brown belt killer, and there were two flags behind him, the big one was the Jinpeng flag with red edges on a black background, and the small one was a small camp flag with a yellow side on a brown background, and the Jinpeng bird embroidered on it was exactly the same, and the box on the camel's back was inserted with the banner of the Iron Mountain.

Ten healthy camels followed, in a line of ropes, in the hands of five camel herders, one of whom had been assigned by the fort, and the other four hired men had spent a night with the stubborn animals, and had become acquainted with their tempers.

Twenty handymen walked on foot and tended to the other camels and horses, which were carrying food, water, tents, and other things needed for the journey, and the Qing Nu rode with them, and on the other camel sat a heartbroken maid Xiaosui, and she shuddered at the thought of waiting for that behemoth for the rest of her life.

Riding horses to protect the procession are Huannu, the Lotus Girl and the Liuhua, the queen of the Wild Horse Palace.

Being able to leave the depressing Jinpeng Castle, Gu Shenwei's heart was relieved, this was an easy task, everyone told him so, even Liuhua looked a lot more honest than usual, but he encountered an accident just after noon.

A handyman ran over and reported that there were two knights guarding the road ahead, not knowing what the purpose was.

This is still the territory of Jinpeng Castle, and Gu Shenwei didn't believe that anyone dared to do wrong, but he still ran to the front of the team.

Sure enough, you could see the two knights from a distance, all dressed in black, like Jinpeng Castle killers, but they were slender and not like men.

The distance is getting shorter and shorter, and Gu Shen said in his heart, trouble is coming, or big trouble.

The two knights were Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi.

After not seeing him for many days, Shangguan Ru has grown a lot taller, but compared with the young officials around him, he is still half a head shorter, only those big and dark eyes have not changed at all.

Shangguan Yushi's face was cold, his eyes were cast into the distance, and Shangguan Ru's eyes were smiling, "Hey, do you want to hire the best swordsman in the Western Regions?"

Gu Shenwei looked at the two of them expressionlessly, "This, I can't be the master." ”

"Call the Lord's men out quickly. Shangguan Ru put away his smiling face and said proudly, just like he had ordered to accompany Huan Nu before.

Qing Nu had already patted his horse and rushed over, and when he saw the old little master, he rolled over and rolled off the horse, and was at a loss, "Alas, the tenth prince, why did you run out, alas, does the royal lord know? Madame knows? Why is no one following? Come down, I will help you, alas, how can this be done." Alas, Huan Nu, why don't we turn around and go back to the city first. ”

Qingnu took a bite of "sighs", which annoyed Shangguan Ru, shook the horsewhip, and drove Qingnu's hand that stretched out to help her away, "Don't turn around, I want to go with you, you dare to turn back, I won't be a swordsman, I'll be a robber, kill all of you, rob the goods, and go to see the big head god by yourself." ”

Qing Nu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, Gu Shenwei beckoned to him, leaned over on the back of the horse and whispered to him for a while, and then rode to the two girls and spread out his left hand, "Two swordsmen, each with ten taels of silver per day, will return to the city to settle a settlement, including food and lodging, not life and death." ”

Shangguan Ru nodded solemnly, "Okay, we agree, the price is fair." ”

"Ten taels of silver, is it called Huazi?" Shangguan Yushi raised his horsewhip and said dissatisfiedly.

"A young and inexperienced swordsman, this is considered high. Gu Shen understood Shangguan Ru's temper, and the more serious she was, the happier she became, "Moreover, I am the leader of the guards, no matter how good the two sword skills are, and what earth-shattering things they have done, in this team, they have to listen to me." ”

Shangguan Yushi's face became more and more indignant, last winter she was still the killer, commanding Huan Nu to run east and west, but now she has to listen to his command, Shangguan Ru is very happy, and finally couldn't help but smile, "Of course, it's all up to you." ”

Qingnu climbed on horseback, watched Huan Nu's performance, and shook his head incessantly, as if he had returned to the past, and the disobedient slave was using his own methods to please his master.

Gu Shen arranged for the two new "swordsmen" to form a team with the lotus girl and Liuhua, and asked the Qing slave to accompany the two masters to chat, lest they find that the speed of the team had dropped significantly.

This was an idea that Gu Shenwei came up with, and Qingnu had no choice but to agree.

Shangguan Ru sneaked out, even if Jinpeng Fort didn't know about it at the time, he should have found out at this time, and he would definitely send someone to catch up, and when the time comes, someone else will do what offends the tenth prince.

It should have been a good idea, but as night fell, no one was chasing after it.

Qing Nu ordered to rest in the tent early, pulled Huan Nu to the end of the team, looked in the direction of Biyu City, and couldn't help but be anxious when he saw the sun setting, "This is your idea, Huan Nu, it's best to have a little score in your heart." ”

"Don't wait, the castle won't send anyone. ”

"What?" Chingnu was a little angry.

"We have to take the two sons with us, and we have to send them back to the castle safely, which must be what the king and his wife mean. ”

Gu Shenwei felt that his guess would not be wrong, this was one of the steps taken by the Dubu King and his wife to transform their daughter into a man, in fact, the castle could have been informed in advance, and the Qing Nu would not be in a hurry, but that would make Shangguan Ru unhappy.

"Are you sure?" Qingnu still didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Gu Shenwei nodded, turned the horse's head and returned to the team, the chef had already prepared a hot meal, there was no need to worry about this matter anymore.

The chef has a good eye and knows that the two new "knife guys" are different, so he specially prepared exquisite side dishes for them, but unfortunately the two patronized and chatted excitedly, and did not notice the taste of the food at all.

Gu Shenwei carefully kept his distance from them, he didn't need to use Shangguan Ru for the time being, and there was no need to annoy Shangguan Yushi, if that little devil was angry, he wouldn't be able to do anything out of the ordinary.

Shangguan Yushi's brother died because of Huan Nu, and neither of them will forget this incident.

As the night fell, everyone packed up their things and was about to rest, when Qingnu stumbled over, grabbed Huan Nu's arm, and whispered, "Someone is coming behind." ”

Gu Shenwei was very surprised, if Jinpeng Castle only caught up at this time to recover the tenth prince, it would be really out of standard.

Gu Shenwei got on his horse to meet him, and saw the fire approaching from a distance, it was not a horse team galloping, but a cargo team like them.

After a while, all the guards gathered, and Shangguan Ru held the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, "Bandits, leader, do we want to go up and fight?"

"Not robbers. ”

They hadn't yet set foot outside the boundaries of Jinpeng Castle, so it was impossible for them to encounter bandits.

The team behind was approaching, and several horses ran over in advance, and one of them shouted, "Friend in front, where are you going?"

Qingnu was disappointed, and the hot potato stayed in the team, which really made him very unhappy, "You don't care where we go, hurry up and go our separate ways." ”

Another voice sounded on the other side, "It's the people in the stone castle on the mountain, they look familiar." ”

A young man approached on horseback, and a retinue beside him held a torch that illuminated his face.

Qingnu rolled over and rolled off the horse again, ran over and nodded, "Oh, isn't this Meng Wuye? It's rare that you still remember my old face, I am Qingnu, and I followed my wife to participate in the flower viewing party a few days ago." ”

Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Yushi immediately changed their faces and pulled out their knives together, "What is he doing here?"

"Put away the knife, we are guards, don't interfere in anything other than the goods on the camel's back. ”

The two girls glanced at each other, Shangguan snorted angrily and put away the knife, Shangguan Yushi followed the knife, turned around and ran back to the tent without a sound.

In order to beckon the other brown belt killers to leave, Gu Shen arranged for everyone to take turns to keep vigil, although it was safe, what should be done could not be omitted.

Meng Wugongzi also followed, this team is getting more and more interesting, Gu Shenwei pondered, and felt that Meng Mingshi's appearance was not a coincidence, it was definitely not a coincidence.
