Chapter 44: Dangerous Ground

Fortunately, Tong Ji is not stupid, with his previous experience, he no longer dares to underestimate Tong Chen, Sun Wei is just an ordinary person, he doesn't see many things thoroughly, but he is also a cultivator, knowing that the gap between ordinary people and cultivators is not something that can be made up by numbers.

Sun Wei felt that he had dozens of people under him, and it was easy to clean up Tong Chen, but Tong Ji knew that relying on Sun Wei and those people under him would not pose any threat to Tong Chen, and he would not have to rely on him at that time, and he was really Tong Chen's opponent? If he really had this certainty, he would not be as bad as he is now!

Secretly sighed in his heart, Tong Ji pretended to be free and easy to speak: "Forget it, I am not a person who holds grudges, this time my father asked me to escort the family caravan with him, if we deliberately ask him for trouble on the way, and my father will know about it in the future, wouldn't it blame me for being too narrow-minded and ignorant of the general situation?"

Sun Wei has been running out to transport goods all these years, and he doesn't know Tong Ji as a person, at this moment, listening to Tong Ji say this, he believes it is true, and feels that Tong Ji is really a person with capacity, and he can't help but admire, and said: "The second young master is right, I have a lot of things." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the direction where Tong Chen was, and Sun Wei said again: "Since the second young master doesn't want to clean up that kid when escorting the caravan, then forget it, but that kid is too arrogant, second young master, you should give him some color sooner or later, so that he can sober up." ”

Hearing Sun Wei's words, Tong Ji nodded and said, "I know this matter in my heart, so you don't have to worry about it!"

"Yes, Second Young Master. Sun Wei lowered his eyebrows and said, "If you can use the place where you can get my Sun Wei to speak at any time, I will definitely look forward to you." ”

Tong Ji looked at Sun Wei and nodded, but said in his heart: "You are a mortal, even I can't solve things, what's the use of expecting you?"

That night, the caravan rested here for the night and continued on its way the next morning.

Unconsciously, three days have passed, and the caravan has already gone half of the journey to Nanxi, and the wind and waves along the way have been calm, and there have been no accidents, and everyone's hearts that were originally tense because of the last incident have also been relieved a lot.

On this day, the caravan marched to an intersection, and then went forward is a sandwich road that was sandwiched by two mountain ranges, Tong Chen sat on a carriage behind the caravan, seeing the terrain in front of him, he had a "sudden" intuition, he thought that when he walked to this dangerous place, Sun Wei would let the caravan stop, confirm the safety ahead and then continue to set off, but Sun Wei did not mean this, but rode a horse to the front, looking like he was going to lead the caravan straight through the road.

If it weren't for the fact that the caravan was ambushed halfway before, Tong Chen would not have been so cautious, but with the previous incident, and the fact that he didn't feel good now, he naturally had to be more vigilant when he walked to such a place.

Sun Wei and Tong Ji rode side by side at the front of the team, and suddenly heard someone behind them shouting: "Team Leader Sun!" The two turned around at the same time, and saw Tong Chen walking forward from behind.

Because he had consciously put himself on the side of Elder Wei and Mrs. Wei, and knew that there was a festival between Tong Chen and Tong Ji, Sun Wei had already put Tong Chen in the opposite position of himself, and when he heard Tong Chen call him, he didn't even bother to do superficial work, and said impatiently: "Is there something wrong?" Tong Chen?"

Tong Chen walked up to Sun Wei, looked at the narrow road in front of him, and said, "Leader Sun, the terrain ahead is so steep, and the caravan is now carrying so many valuable goods, it is inevitable that the situation will be the same as last time, should we be more cautious now?" At least send a few people to the front to investigate, confirm that there is no danger before moving forward, what do you think?"

Sun Wei wanted to sell Tong Ji well by teaching Tong Chen, but he didn't expect that after he showed this meaning to Tong Ji, Tong Ji politely refused, and now seeing Tong Chen come to the door by himself and say these words to him, the kind of thought he originally pressed resurfaced.

After sneering in his heart, Sun Wei looked at Tong Ji, who was standing beside him on horseback, and said, "Second Young Master, what do you mean?"

Tong Ji is usually used to living a rich and young life at home, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world.

However, because he had a grudge against Tong Chen in his heart, although he didn't dare to do anything with Tong Chen on the surface, he was unwilling to fall into the inferior class in other places, so after Tong Chen said that, Sun Wei asked him this, and he immediately said: "I don't think there's any need to do this, right?" As far as I know, the last time the caravan encountered that group of people was located far from here, we can't be afraid of it because we were robbed by that group once, stop and send someone to check on a dangerous place, so we will have to reach our destination in the year of the monkey, can this business continue?"

"What the second young master said is!" The reason why Sun Wei asked Tong Ji so much was because he guessed that Tong Ji had a grudge against Tong Chen in his heart, and his position would definitely be opposite to Tong Chen, and when he heard Tong Ji say this, he quickly echoed: "How can there be no risk in doing business? The last time it was just an accident, how could I meet that group of people every time I traveled, in that case, would this business still be done?"

After speaking, Sun Wei deliberately muttered in a voice that Tong Chen could hear: "What about escorting the caravan! With this little guts, what can you protect? Fortunately, the second young master is here, counting on you, you don't have to do this business!"

Tong Chen glanced up at Sun Wei, this glance made Sun Wei feel a little uncomfortable, he couldn't say the reason, but he felt that his body seemed to stiffen, subconsciously, he pulled the reins of the horse and took a step back, in order to hide his weakness, he tried his best to make the retreat move more natural and smooth, but fortunately, Tong Chen's eyes quickly moved away from him, and turned to look at the road behind him.

If it was in normal times, Tong Chen might teach Sun Wei a lesson, but at the moment he didn't have the mind, although what Tong Ji said to Sun Wei was more or less reasonable, but he still felt that there was a problem with the road in front of him, but before he could speak again, Sun Wei had already waved his big hand forward, signaling the caravan to move on.

Tong Chen originally wanted to stop the caravan, but after thinking about it, since Tong Ji and Sun Wei agreed that there would be no problems ahead, why should he be serious with them, anyway, his duty has been fulfilled, and it has nothing to do with him if something goes wrong, thinking so, he didn't say anything more, and directly turned his head and sat down in the carriage he was riding in before.

Under the leadership of Tong Ji and Sun Wei, the caravan finally marched into the middle of the road.
