The sun shone fiercely on a camel caravan, and the wind and sand howled, as if to mock the people's indiscretion to cross this desert, on the desert between the giant tooth state and the state of Due, the long camel caravan slowly moved forward here, this road is one of the necessary trade routes between the two states.

The caravan leader is a human old man, his hair is mottled and black and white, the wrinkles on his face seem to write his vicissitudes of experience, the old man's eyes are squinted, as if there is a fine light bursting out of the distance, the surrounding movements are under his control, the entire caravan is scattered around some people in gray cloaks, the cloak has a shield sign, there is a masked man sitting on the camel next to the old man, the whole body is hidden under the gray cloak, the cloak seems to hide some kind of huge object behind the masked man's back, so that people can not see the slightest clue.

"Ah Long!" said the old man of the human race, whose name was Kui Shouhong.

The masked man didn't make a sound, but drove the camel a few times, and the masked man called Ah Long gradually disappeared from the caravan's sight.

Kui Shouhong waved his hand behind him, and immediately five people wearing shield-patterned cloaks walked towards the rear of the caravan.

"Kui Lao?"

"Don't worry, our Kyushu Alliance Escort Group has taken your money to keep you safe, rest assured"

"Yes," said an older man nodding to the old man known as Kui Lao

The Kyushu Alliance Escort Corps is an official escort regiment that is specifically open to all kinds of businesses, with a good reputation and will not be hacked, there are so many caravans, there are many robbers, and all major states have also sent troops to suppress bandits, but there is always a super strong bandit group that is not destroyed, and the world's gangster organizations have a relationship, the government has set up a guard regiment, and merchants can hire different types and numbers of guards by paying a certain amount of money, and the escort regiment is extraordinary, and it does not have to be like ordinary officers and soldiers who need a large team of men and horses to follow.

This time, the caravan is relatively large, the caravan owner purchased a lot of animal skins, animal teeth, and a lot of live beast cubs in the giant tooth state, ready to sell them to the cargo station in Du'e Prefecture to sell, this trip is enough for him to eat for three years, but the more goods, the greater the risk, the recent sand bandits are happy, although this desert is very big, may not be able to meet, but still for the sake of safety invited the escort group, this mission Kui Lao brought fifteen people.

The shopkeeper of this caravan is an old fritter, and it can be seen that the five people sent to the back by Kui Lao just now are broken, and the one sent to the front is to explore the road, leaving ten people to be guards, but it is not a bit dangerous to send only one person to explore the way, if it is discovered by the enemy, there is no chance to report the news, and I am really a little worried.

The caravan continued to move forward for an hour, and there was gradually movement on the horizon, a man and a camel sat on the desert leaning on each other, and there were mutilated corpses scattered around, basically all of them were beasts and human bodies, and it can be known that this group of bandits was composed of people from the Megalodon, and the Megalodon were all strong in attack and good at hand-to-hand combat.

When he got to the nearest caravan, the shopkeeper of the caravan was shocked and recognized that this person was Ah Long who had just been sent by Kui Lao to explore the road, at this time Ah Long's cloak was stained with some blood, but it should be those people on the ground, the caravan shopkeeper was shocked in his heart What kind of person is this Ah Long actually slaughtered more than 20 sand bandits of the Megalodon clan without being injured, but he thought in his heart that this time the goods should be safe.

"I said that I just asked you to explore the way and then come back to report, and if you find out, you will light the flare, and we will answer it. Kui Lao asked Ah Long

Aaron was silent and did not answer.

"Kui Lao, you're not alive," one of the guards reported.

"Forget it, keep on your way. Kui Shouhong said helplessly.

The next day, somewhere in Changsheng Prefecture, the eagle kept flying, bringing news from the Giant Tooth State.

"Heavenly King, dozens of gangs in the Giant Tooth Prefecture were wiped out by the Guardian Group yesterday," said Luo Luo, who reported the news

"Second brother, what do you think?" said the great man, known as the Heavenly King, to one of the people sitting down

"Big brother, it's just cannon fodder, and the other bigwigs are important, these small actions are nothing more than to divert the attention of those old guys in the imperial city. A tall, thin, fair-skinned, elegantly dressed young man with a white paper fan in his hand said to the man known as the King of Heaven.

At this time, in the imperial city of Changsheng Prefecture in the far east, a frail old man sat on top of the golden palace and looked down on the ministers below.

"Please play if you have something to do"

"Speak"

"Recently, there have been robberies of official caravans on the inner border of Changsheng Prefecture, and although troops have been sent to kill them many times, they have never hurt their roots, and there are many capable people among the robbers recently, which has caused more damage to our local officers and soldiers," a minister reported.

"Are you a capable person?" the old man on the golden palace muttered to himself.

"Please play if you have something to do"

The old man did not speak, but raised his hand to signal.

"This matter is very strange as Lord Liu said, it is not an ordinary bandit and horse bandit, although the news brought back by the spies is not accurately substantiated, it can be judged that there is an official family behind the protection, and there should be a large cultivation sect involved"

"What do you think about this matter, the national teacher," the old man said to a Taoist below.

This Taoist person wears a white Taoist robe, decorated with gossip patterns all over his body, wears a cloud-turning view on his head, and tramples on cloud shoes, but the overall simplicity reveals a dusty atmosphere.

"My Lingxiao Yunding is under the command of His Majesty's Heavenly Grace, but there are also those remote sects that can't take care of it, and this kind of thing will definitely not be done on the surface, when I go back to the sect to report to the head of the sect, the senior brother will investigate this matter thoroughly" The white-clothed Taoist said some official words.

It turned out that the old man in this golden palace was the emperor of Changsheng Prefecture, "Juxian".

"Well, then it's annoying to go to the national teacher," the old man said as if he hadn't woken up, but none of His Highness dared to despise the old man.

After the discussion in front of the palace, the king and several important ministers appeared in a secret room again.

"Your Majesty thinks that these recent signs are related to a group of people"

"Go on"

"Traitor"

Ju Xian frowned, and when he heard these three words, the expression on the king's face finally changed slightly.

"They're finally taking it anymore?"

Several ministers did not speak again in contemplation.

"The secret messenger to the kings of the other states, we can't sit idly by. “

The book turned right, a piece of blue came in, the seabirds soared with the wind, the sea and the sky were fascinating, and Shang Buqi stood on the deck with Lu Bufeng while chatting and looking into the distance.

Shang Buqi and Lu Bufeng both did a lot of goods this time to prepare to trade at the trading post in Luohou Prefecture, Shang Buqi was the first time to do maritime trade, and the goods purchased were mainly special medicinal materials and batches of pills, and he also listened to Lu Bufengdi's advice to do some ceramic products.

The sailors on the ship are all from the Lu family, all the year round by sea, are experienced sailors, the captain is observing the compass, discerning the direction to Luohou Prefecture, at this time a sailor on the mast observed that there are some ships in the distance, it turns out that the news of the opening of Luohou Prefecture has already spread throughout Kyushu, and some merchant ships from other states have also sailed to this new continent.

The captain looked at the compass and calculated the time, and said to the sailors below: "This has entered the sea area to Luohou Prefecture, and everyone is not familiar with the climate and waters of this sea area, so everyone should raise their spirits."

"Yes!" replied the crew

The moon hung in the sky, but there was no reflected moon in the sea, Shang Buqi was listening to Lu Bufeng explain some ways of shipping and business in the house, and suddenly felt that the room was a little shaky, slowly, The undulating angle is getting bigger and bigger, Shang Buqi and Lu Bufeng hurriedly ran outside the cabin to see what was going on, the captain hurriedly said to the two that they had encountered a seaspout, and asked the two to hurry back to the cabin, Shang Buqi saw a huge barrel-shaped wind belt connected between the sea and the sky from a distance, it didn't look particularly powerful, but the scope and speed of the tornado were very fast, and it was sweeping towards the entire route. After Lu Bufeng finished his instructions, he ran to the deck to help.

Although Shang Buqi's health is relatively poor, he has not been pampered since he was a child, and this time he is brought by people to make a fortune, and he can't do it when he encounters difficulties, he saw that some crew members at the stern were busy covering some goods at the stern, so he ran over to help together, because everyone was busy, Lu Bufeng didn't notice Shang Buqi in the bow of the ship, and when Shang Buqi and a crew were working together to bundle the goods, the seaspout had already arrived, fortunately, the captain turned the rudder in time to accelerate and was not conflicted by the seaspout head-on, but it was still affected by the aftermaze, this aftermaw is nothing to the sailors, and the sailors know that there is nothing to do with grabbing the object and then lowering the body, but Shang Buqi didn't know, he was still stupid and wanted to stand up, it didn't matter that he still stood up and jumped from the cargo to the deck, his body itself was weak and his weight was not much, he jumped directly into the sea by the aftermath, and the sailors at the stern didn't know that this person had no experience at all, they just knew that he was a boss and a friend of Lu Bufeng, and the most terrible thing was that Shang Buqi was frail and sick since he was a child, and he had never been in the water at all and couldn't swim.

As soon as he fell into the sea, some sailors shouted, now the hull of the ship is shaking so badly, the sea is also very turbulent, if anyone jumps down now to save it, it is purely looking for death. Lu Bufeng found the situation at the stern of the boat, his relationship with Shang Buqi is similar to the relationship of the eldest brother and his father, he is in a hurry, but he did not blindly jump down to find death, immediately found a rope to tie one end to the ship's fence, one end tied to his own body and jumped down, about a stick of incense time, the seaspout has passed, Lu Bufeng was pulled up by the sailors, Lu Bufeng was soaked, sitting on the deck in a daze, the sea water and tears mixed together, Lu Bufeng's heart hurt, Shang Buqi was he grew up watching, he wanted to take this little brother to make a fortune, but he didn't think that just came out of a person who didn't take good care of it, his own old man was sad for a while after knowing the death of the old man Shang, and even asked Lu Bufeng to help Shang Buqi more, not to say it in his heart, he couldn't explain to his old man after he went back.

When the sea water soaked the mouth, chest, and drank a stomach full of water, Shang Buqi properly thought that he was hung up this time, thinking that he had been tortured by illness since he was a child, and now he is a healthy person although his body is weak, and his father died in front of him, and when he just came out of his sad heart and was ready to make a big plan to revitalize the family business, he was inexplicably going to hang up, hey, he was really unwilling. As soon as it was dark, he passed out.
