In late November, it was already cold, especially at night, and it was even more cold and bitterly cold.

Shao Nan sat by a campfire, drinking hot broth, but kept thinking about what happened today.

In the past, the Shao family's convoy consisted of more than 50 people, more than a dozen vehicles, and four or five people to protect a carriage.

This time, more than 20 people were dispatched, or a dozen cars, and six or seven people protected a carriage, which was absolutely safe.

Perhaps this is also the reason why ordinary horse thieves dare not have ideas.

After all, even if it is a powerful horse thief, there are only more than 100 combatants, and it is not a simple matter to gnaw at the Shao family's convoy.

Shao Nan glanced at the eight members of the Zhou family in the corner, and always felt that there was something wrong with these eight people, but he couldn't say it.

Maybe you should find a chance to find out.

Thinking of the eight members of the Zhou family, Shao Nan found that counting the eight members of the Zhou family, his convoy was almost ninety people, which was close to one hundred.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shao Nan stood up and inspected the night watch.

The Shao family team has been in business for many years, and there is really nothing to find fault with.

The carriage was surrounded by camps and bonfires, half of the guards were resting, half of the guards were on duty at night, Shao Yingze was resting in a position where he could observe the overall situation, and it was estimated that he was recuperating for the second half of the night.

The location of the camping was cleverly chosen, and there was simply no room for a sneak attack.

This camp can be said to be impregnable.

After sparing a circle, Shao Nan's footsteps stopped inexplicably near the Zhou family.

The origin of the Zhou family has always bothered him, and after today's daytime contact, Shao Nan is even more curious about the Zhou family, and has an urge to find out.

Walking only a few steps away from the Zhou family, Shao Nan suddenly came to his senses.

Tonight, we will definitely not be able to clash with the Zhou family.

If the questioning is too urgent, as soon as the Zhou family leaves or there is a conflict, there will be a flaw, and if there are horse thieves nearby, the Shao family will become dangerous.

Be sure to keep your impulses in check.

In the last few steps, Shao Nan calmed down his impulsiveness and walked towards the Zhou family with a sincere smile.

After briefly explaining a few words of precautions at night and arranging the night attendants, Shao Nan left calmly, without even taking a look at the beautiful Zhou Yuliu.

Looking at Shao Nan's departing back, Zhou Yuliu stomped his feet, "Grandpa, is he an elm pimple?"

"Oh, how can you say he's an elm pimple?" Zhou Anyi laughed and asked rhetorically.

"I'm such a big beauty standing here, he didn't even look at me, it's been three days, and he hasn't even looked at me. Zhou Yuliu was angry.

"Yo, our eldest lady is heartbroken? Last time, the kid from the Lian family, you weren't like this. Zhou Anyi touched his white beard with his hand.

"Don't mention that disgusting guy, he looks squinting and makes me sick to my stomach just looking at it. A hint of disgust flashed in Zhou Yuliu's eyes, "You said that such a big team should let such a young child be in charge?"

"You're wrong, it's true that he's young, and he's much better than you in other ways. Zhou Anyi's expression was upright, and he stopped laughing.

"Where is he stronger than me? I see that he is only a sixth-layer strength of forging his body, and he just walks with the convoy all day long, and he doesn't see anything brilliant, hmph! He still smirks every day!" When he heard that he was not as good as Shao Nan, Zhou Yuliu was immediately dissatisfied.

"Speaking of which, this Shao Nan is estimated to be the most difficult to deal with among the dozens of people in the entire convoy of the other party. Zhou Anyi's eyes drifted to the direction of Shao Nan's departure, and said slowly.

"What?" Zhou Yuliu's mouth opened wide, unable to believe it.

"I haven't taken advantage of a few contacts, and I have suffered a small loss. Zhou Anyi's voice was very soft.

Zhou Yuliu didn't even make a voice this time, his grandfather was the soul of the family for decades, and he couldn't take advantage of a young man who looked like he was in his teens, which was unimaginable.

"Silly girl, I know what you're thinking. That cheap kid just likes your appearance, and his approach is really obscene, you must hate him. This Shao family kid hasn't been looking at you directly, are you a little angry?" Zhou Anyi had already seen the clues, but this was always the most attractive, and Zhou Anyi had no way to control it.

"Hmph, he is only forging the strength of the sixth layer, no matter how powerful he is now, he will not be a person of the same world as me in the future. Zhou Yuliu slowly regained the arrogant look he had at the beginning.

Zhou Anyi looked a little lonely, and squeezed out a smile, "That's right, your future in the future is limitless, don't be limited to this corner of safety." ”

"Grandpa, you say, will they come?" Zhou Yuliu suddenly had a worried look on his face, lowered his voice, and asked nervously.

"I don't know. Zhou Anyi shook his head, "It stands to reason that they should do it in Jinzhu County, but now that they are all in Tongbao County, they may be afraid of this convoy, after all, the convoy has seventy or eighty people, and if the other party wants to eat this convoy, it must be at least one hundred and sixty or seventy people, and the government will not allow such a large-scale battle." ”

"It seems that we made the right choice for this team. Zhou Yuliu's expression softened.

"When you wait for Luotian County City, everything will be worry-free. Zhou Anyi looked around and stopped the conversation.

For a while, the grandfather and grandson of the Zhou family fell silent, only the sound of the bonfire crackled.

On this night, many people had difficulty sleeping, some kept patrolling, some were worried, and some worked hard all night.

When the first rays of the morning sun shone on everyone, everyone felt much more relaxed.

Spend the most dangerous night, and then there will not be too many dangers, and the road will be much safer.

The most important point is that there are still three days to go, and we will reach our destination, and most of this important task will be completed.

Breakfast, tidy up, whole team, go.

Needless to say, the convoy returned to its usual pace, no longer as slow as it had been yesterday.

Shao Nan observed the eight members of the Zhou family for another day, but still did not find anything abnormal, but because they left Jinzhu County, several people were more relaxed.

On the first day of entering Tongbao County, the road was safe and unimpeded.

The next day, Shao Nan finally relieved himself, still trying to find out the origin of the Zhou family.

Although it doesn't mean much now, Shao Nan just has a strong curiosity.

If it weren't for the important task of the team, Shao Nan would have thought of investigating the Zhou family a few people a long time ago, but unfortunately, for the sake of safety, he could only believe the reason for the other party's arrangement at that time.

Along the way, the other party was indeed honest and did not move, and the most important thing is that Shao Nan knew that it was true that the other party wanted to leave with the help of the team, and he would not attack the team.

Shao Nan walked straight to the Zhou family, still with that honest smile on his face.

"Uncle Zhou, now that you have left Jinzhu County safely, you are getting closer and closer to Luotian County, you must let the kid know a thing or two, right?"

"Ah, what does Shao Gongzi want to know?" Zhou Anyi pretended to be confused.

"To be able to produce a child with a spiritual root, and to be able to send seven people to escort him, it will definitely not be a mountain farmer. Shao Nan lightly pointed at Zhou Yuliu.

Zhou Yuliu, who was eavesdropping on the side, looked at Shao Nan in astonishment, and felt for the first time that Shao Nan's honest smile gave people the feeling of being so terrifying.

Zhou Anyi, who had experienced countless storms, was also shocked in his heart, but he covered it up well.

How did Shao Nan find out that Zhou Yuliu had a spiritual root?

Even the son of the Lian family in Juhai County didn't find out about this, but he just thought that Zhou Yuliu was beautiful.

Shao Gongzi laughed, the little girl really just wanted to see the demeanor of the immortals, how could there be any spiritual roots, hehe, hehe. Zhou Anyi laughed dryly a few times and denied it again and again.

Shao Nan put away the honest smile he had always had, and just as he wanted to speak, Zhou Anyi continued.

"We are really an ordinary small family, resting in the Juhai County Inn, we were met by the eldest young master of the Lian family in Miaoxiao Town, and wanted to insult the little girl, and were injured by the little girl, so we fled all the way, fortunately we met you, and we got rid of the Lian family's chasers. ”

When Shao Nan heard it, this was definitely the truth.

It turns out that this is the enemy that the Zhou family is hiding from, and it shouldn't be too strong.

"I see, I didn't expect Uncle Zhou to have such a bumpy journey," Shao Nan eased the atmosphere, "Uncle Zhou is from Juhai County?"

"That's right, our ancestors have lived in Juhai County for generations. Zhou Anyi secretly wiped a handful of sweat.

"I haven't heard of a family surnamed Zhou in Juhai County. Shao Nan continued to probe.

"It's normal that I haven't heard of it, our family is very small, there are dozens of people. Zhou Anyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dozens of people?" Shao Nan heard this, and returned to that honest smile, and suddenly his expression changed, "Not good!"

Before the words fell, a series of hurried horses' hooves came, and a team surrounded the Shao family's convoy from all sides.

"I hope you do your job as a guard. Shao Nan threw down a sentence and hurried to the front.

Zhou Anyi and Zhou Yuliu's faces changed, and they understood what Shao Nan meant.

"Grandpa, us?" Zhou Yuliu hesitated.

"Live and die together, live and die together. Zhou Anyi said word by word, "The Shao family team is benevolent and righteous to us, and we must not be treacherous." ”

At the same time, Shao Nan had come to the forefront, standing beside Shao Yingze, who was confronting the other party.

"What's the situation?" asked Shao Nan in a low voice.

"It looks like it's a horse thief, about two hundred and thirty people. Shao Yingze frowned.

"It's really a trouble, we only have more than eighty people, or counting the Zhou family, it is quite difficult to deal with more than two hundred and thirty. Shao Nan began to observe the situation of the horse thief opposite.

"Why don't you and Shao Kang go first?" Shao Yingze said suddenly.

"No! Before the situation is determined, the two of us will be deserters, how will we return to the family in the future?" Shao Nan hurriedly vetoed.

"Listen to the convoy on the other side, beat, fight, rob! Things, money, women, and everything else can leave safely, otherwise, hehe, don't blame us for being polite. One of the horse thieves rushed out and shouted at Shao Nan's side.
