The captain looked stiff, moved slightly to the side, and said patiently: "Since the little brother doesn't want to reveal his origin, he must have a deep meaning. I am the leader of this motorcade, and my name is Chen Liang. If you need anything, little brother, please contact me directly. Just come to me."
Seeing that Wei Feng was avoiding answering, he thought he didn't want to tell him. Years of experience in traveling abroad had taught him when to advance and when to retreat. He didn't ask further questions and just said what he needed to say.
"I am an Orion from a small village below Sanglin County. I have nothing to disclose." Wei Feng chuckled.
Captain Chen Liang looked at him deeply, hugged his fists and left.
In fact, if there weren't two distinguished guests in the caravan this time, he wouldn't have come here to ask more questions. As long as Wei Feng didn't show any malice, it didn't matter which family he was a descendant of in the caravan. It would be better to do less than to do more. Even if he knew about it, he wouldn't want to.
He didn't even hear what Wei Feng said about the hunters in the village. If there are practitioners in the village, then there must be no gods in the city? He just thought that Wei Feng was teasing him. If he didn't get angry, he would be giving in.
Since the two people have different understandings of the world, Wei Feng had no idea that the other party had mistaken him for a monk in the body refining stage. If he knew, he would have to talk more and find a way to get something out of this person's mouth. Only knowledge about spiritual practice is enough.
Wei Feng was still muttering to himself, this person is really incomprehensible. He makes random guesses about his origins when he first comes up. If I tell you, you ignore me and you don't even care if your eyes are sore. You don't know how to thank him.
A quarter of an hour later, he ran back to the team with the roasted rabbit, tore off a hind leg of the rabbit and handed it to Buji and Cang Gou. He and Cang Gou happily shared the food.
Chen Liang stared at his back, secretly thinking about his purpose of staying in the first group of guests.
According to his understanding of those cultivating families, disciples in the body refining stage are generally not allowed to go out, and they will not be let out to practice until they reach the cave realm at least.
Moreover, the practitioners prefer to gallop freely, one person and one horse. Few people are willing to follow the slow caravan, and no one is willing to stay in the team of only one group of merchants.
This time he was escorting not only goods, but also two distinguished guests, so he had to pay special attention to unusual people in the team.
The so-called distinguished guest refers to a very expensive guest, in other words, a guest who has given a lot of money.
The standard fee for the third category of guests is fifty taels, but judging from the way the shopkeeper nodded and bowed before leaving, as well as the repeated instructions to him, it must be that these two guests were paid enough.
This situation has happened in the past. Usually the guests have special needs, some have high requirements for food, and some have high requirements for accommodation. These are all extra charges.
But this time the guests did not have any special requirements. Apart from the fact that the food had to be delivered to the carriage, I never talked to them again. They stayed in the carriage and did not show their faces on weekdays, so they were very easy to serve.
According to the escorts I participated in before, when you meet someone with a distinguished status, you will usually be asked to increase the escort specifications, but this time it was not done, and it was just done according to the regular specifications.
Shengshi Trading Company is one of the largest trading houses in the Jiang Kingdom. As long as the distance is a little further, at least one practitioner will be involved in the escort of the caravan. Most of these practitioners are trained by their chamber of commerce themselves, and only a few are hired. They will transfer their revenue every year. Most of it is used for talent training.
The trading company stipulates that when encountering an enemy with a huge disparity in strength during the transportation of goods, the escort can choose to abandon the escort, hand over the goods, and escape for their own lives. The trading company will not be held responsible after verifying the situation. At the same time, when the enemy captures the practitioners of the trading company to protect them, The trading houses would pay a ransom to redeem the practitioners.
Of course, in the years when the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce was first established, there were incidents of hijacking caravans. Until a certain time when the chamber of commerce jointly wiped out a small local force, no one dared to capture caravan guards in exchange for ransom.
As for Shengshi Trading Company, there are many Dongfu and Tuomai Realm guards in Yanzhou, and the highest number even have caravan guards from Longmen Realm. As long as the customer's price is adequate, it is just a matter of words to get them to come from other counties and cities.
This time the caravan went to Tianyang City, the standard was one cave realm monk plus twenty guards, so Chen Liang speculated that the guests this time just paid more money and were not very noble. Wei Feng was unwilling to reveal his origins. , as long as he doesn't take the initiative to look for trouble, he will be treated as such a person.
Three quarters of an hour later the caravan set off and resumed its journey.
Nothing happened to the convoy for the next two days until it arrived at Xihe County, the second largest city in Yanzhou, on the evening of the tenth day.
The caravan entered the city smoothly and drove to the trading house in Xihe County. After explaining the departure time the next morning, the passengers dispersed in twos and threes.
Wei Feng walked along the wide lanes in the city and couldn't help but curl his lips. The news he heard in Changping County was unreliable. Maybe the bumpkins in Changping County were sitting in a well and watching the sky. The area of Xihe County was two or three times the size of Changping. The city was very prosperous. The difference is not small.
Only a few streets in Changping County are particularly prosperous, but this is not the case in Xihe County. There is an endless stream of pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and more or less people stop in front of the vendors. It is evident that the residents are wealthy, which is not comparable to Changping.
We took Cang Gou for a walk and ate there. After we were satisfied, we found an inn and stayed.
------------------
The moon and stars are sparse, inside a large mansion in Xihe County.
"Master, I brought you the list." A servant bent down and handed a piece of information to Bai Shangjie.
"Ahem, okay, you go down first." Bai Shangjie looked pale. Although he had taken the healing medicine prepared by his family, it would still take some time to return to his full strength.
After Wei Feng left that day, he adjusted his breathing in place for two hours before temporarily suppressing his injuries and regaining some of his fighting ability.
Only when he was in better condition did he have time to think about the previous battle, and only then did he have the time to analyze the many weird things.
Previously, I only thought that those who could shoot with such accuracy and timing on rainy days must be practitioners who are good at archery. However, they overlooked one point, that is, the arrow itself is just an ordinary arrow, not a spirit that can exert Yuan force. Soldiers and arrows also have no fluctuations in their elemental energy.
Furthermore, it is understandable that the other person does not hide his aura. This is conveying goodwill to him, but the speed of the person leaving is a bit slow.
Thinking of this, he got up and went to investigate where the man was before, and found some traces on a big tree.
Wei Feng was supporting Bai Shangjie in the Mao'er Mountain Forest. In order to ensure his own safety, he had to keep a sufficient distance, and too far a distance was another test for the shooting range. After all, what he was holding was just a novice equipment, even if it was stronger than ordinary There are some bows and crossbows, but more than one mile is the limit.
So he thought of using the height difference to increase the combat radius. He found a tall tree less than a mile away and climbed up it. This could also convert part of the gravitational potential energy, ensuring that the arrow would still have enough space when it flew. Lethality.
But this process will inevitably leave some traces of climbing. Rain can wash away the footprints, but these traces cannot be cleaned up in a short time.
People in this world cannot rely on modern instruments for detection, so some of the knowledge that practitioners must know includes judging the enemy's whereabouts, strength, and exercises based on the traces left by the enemy.
Therefore, Wei Feng, who thought he had no obvious characteristics, still left some clues. Bai Shangjie judged his strength and skills based on the marks he left on the branches, and guessed that he was probably not a monk.
But if they were not practitioners, would ordinary people have such superb archery skills?
He wanted to follow the traces, but unfortunately the footprints had been washed away by the rain, so he had no choice but to give up and follow the general direction Wei Feng had left to reach the mountain path.
As a member of the Bai family in Xihe County, he knows the terrain of this area very well. This road in the mountains and forests usually has very few pedestrians, because the places it leads to are limited, and it can only go to Xihe County.
After returning to Bai's house, he immediately explained the matter to his servants. Considering the journey of ordinary people, he asked for a list of all the people who entered the city from that path before dark today. As for More detailed information about the people on the list will be sent by subordinates after being compiled.
