Outside the west gate of the city, the Dragon Fish caravan and other people from the caravan were loading goods into the car.
After loading a car, pull another car away. Looking around, there are more than 200 mules and horses transporting goods.
There were quite a few people like Yuan Ying and others who planned to go with the caravan.
The world is not good these days.
There used to be natural disasters, then man-made disasters, and now there are fierce evils. Battlefields where people have died, desolate suburbs, and uninhabited villages and towns are all dangerous. If you accidentally wander into one, your life will be lost, so when you go out, It would be better to spend some money and follow the experienced martial arts masters in the caravan than to go alone.
"What?" Yuan Ying looked down at the thin steward.
"Thirty taels per person?" You might as well go grab it.
The thin steward, with a shrewd look on his face, held a golden abacus in his hand. He quickly pulled the account book next to him to check the accounts with his little hands. After pulling out a page, he raised his small eye to Yuan Ying.
He rolled his eyes without any trace: "Hey, another poor guy."
But he saw a man standing next to Yuan Ying with his hands in his sleeves.
I was stunned for a moment.
Although he was wearing a curtain hat, there was a unique feeling all over his body. Although he didn't say a word, it made people's eyes brighten.
There is a kind of person whose face you cannot see, but as long as he stands there, you will know that he is extraordinary.
This one is the one in front of me. He has an indescribable charm all over his body that cannot be ignored. If he insists on relying on one word, then this shrewd and worldly shopkeeper who loves gold and silver can only say one sentence, noble taste. .
Since he smells like a noble, he must not be an ordinary person.
The shopkeeper put down the golden abacus in his hand and stood up.
However, he didn't get much taller when he stood up.
He knew he was a little short, but these two girls were really tall. The tall one in front of him was almost a head and a half taller than him.
He had to look up to see the person's nostrils.
The person next to him, with a small and delicate frame, seemed to be insignificant.
In fact, she is at least a head taller than him. With their height, they are considered tall and slender among women.
The shopkeeper has followed the caravan all over the country for so many years. Who is he? It was almost done with just one quick glance.
Let alone the person who finds it expensive to carry a suitcase.
The person next to him who had been silent for a long time had just stood there calmly with his hands in his sleeves since he arrived, as if watching the fun.
But the man carrying the suitcase kept looking at her.
What does it mean? It means that this is the person who can make the decision.
How can anyone raise such a person who has his hands clasped and his back straight, and is used to standing there calmly and calmly?
That must be a member of a big family.
Ordinary Xiaojiabiyu would not be able to see enough even if she stood next to this person.
The magnanimity is there.
He went from rolling his eyes to looking kind in just an instant.
The careless Yuan Ying didn't even notice.
"You two girls don't know something. We, the Fish and Dragon Caravan, have been doing business for several years, and we always clearly mark our prices. If you don't believe it, you can just ask anyone to ask. You can be honest.
Are you two going to Zuilong stall? For a two-day and one-night journey, for thirty taels per person, not only can you be protected by the caravan, but we can also provide you with three meals a day. It’s a good deal to buy Ping An…”
Yuan Ying was carrying the box on her back, holding the money bag in her hand, and turned to look at Que Qingyue.
"...Ancestor, we only have sixty-three taels left now. If we pay another sixty-two taels for travel, we will only have three taels..."
"Good guy, I ate forty-five taels in one meal." Que Qingyue glanced sideways at Yuan Ying, who still had two buns on her head.
Instead, he calmly nodded in the direction of the shopkeeper: "Okay, you pay the toll first."
"What about paying it off?"
"Didn't the shopkeeper say that? Food will be provided on the road, and when we get to the Drunken Dragon Stall..."
As she spoke, she raised her red eyes, looked at her figure, and showed a meaningful smile, "... Just go to the dock to carry more sacks and earn back the money. "
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"...No way!"
"Let me tell you, do you really want me to carry the sack?"
Yuan Ying shouted at her ancestor's back, but her ancestor didn't wait for her.
Having no other choice, she threw the money to the shopkeeper, grabbed two traffic signs, stuffed them into her arms, and ran and jumped after her ancestors with the wooden box on her back.
There was a commotion at the west gate of the city.
In addition to the caravan's own martial arts and horsemen, more than thirty men and women came later, all of whom were traveling together this time.
There were groups of people talking together, and there were also people going alone, all waiting for the caravan to set off.
Yuan Ying had already driven the carriage to take a seat under a big tree.
Dongfang Qingfeng held the knife in his arms and leaned motionless against the tree trunk, his eyes casually scanning around the people coming and going in the caravan.
Although he was wearing black clothes and scales, he looked handsome, and when he was relaxing, he looked a bit like a noble son of a prince.
Speaking of which, this young general is only twenty-one years old this year. That sword killing of thousands of people was only a skill that made him famous when he was nineteen years old. He is also the youngest among the top ten guards in history.
"Ancestor, tell me, if I tell General Dongfang that I want to learn his Thousand-Man Killing technique, will he teach me?" Yuan Ying tied up the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and couldn't help but ask.
Que Qingyue was standing outside the carriage.
Waiting for Yuan Ying to get the mat, she watched Yuan Ying spread the clean mat on a fairly flat stone under the tree.
Then she lifted up her clothes and sat down, casually saying, "Okay, you go and try it."
So happy?
Yuan Ying's eyes lit up. Whatever her ancestors said would work, it can basically be done, but...
"Do you really think he will teach me?"
Que Qingyue then raised her eyes and looked at her: "When did I say that he would teach you?" She caressed her long sleeves and said, "I just said that you should try it. Anyway, it's not me who is embarrassed."
Yuan Ying's happy face immediately fell.
"I'm thirsty, go get some water."
"oh."
Yuan Ying ran back to the carriage.
Liu Sichen fed the horse and came over with some food for the horse.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the general leaning against the tree trunk under the big tree surrounded by two people. He had two straight and slender legs. One leg was straight, and the other foot was stepping on the tree trunk. He leaned against the tree with his arms folded around his chest. Looking into the distance without saying a word.
On the stone under the tree, the daughter of the Que family took off her curtain hat and sat under the tree to enjoy the cool air. She was slowly arranging her clothes with her head lowered. The two of them neither made eye contact nor spoke, and even turned their bodies towards the other side.
But Liu Sichen felt that the scene of these two people, standing and sitting quietly like this...
Needless to say, it was pleasing to the eye. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should walk over.
Before he could pass, Yuan Ying jumped down from the carriage and rushed over with a kettle.
She took the green teacup that her ancestors usually used, poured a glass of water and handed it to Que Qingyue to quench her thirst. She also used a handkerchief to wipe the ancestor's sweat, and ran behind her to comb her long hair with a comb, busying herself in front of her.
Liu Sichen immediately moved his eyes, feeling a little irritated.
Especially when compared with the Que family's ancestors sitting on the stone, they are exactly like a beauty and a beast.
Mainly because of this girl Yuan Ying. Although she is not ugly, she is as tall as him.
He is a majestic eight-foot-tall man. Is it scary for a woman to be so tall?
When he passed by, he saw Miss Yuan Ying arranging a wooden waistband on Que Qingyue's waist.
Look carefully, you can see the black deer and crane on the front and the character "que" on the back.
The deer and crane symbolize the Liuhe and are the auspicious objects of Xuanmen, implying the four directions of the Liuhe, heaven and earth.
Nowadays, evil things are rampant, and Xuanmen Celestial Masters are extremely popular. However, the abilities of Celestial Masters vary widely, so the term Celestial Master's Mansion has emerged.
Generally, when caravans or major families travel, they will hire some well-known and famous Celestial Masters. If a Celestial Master wants to travel around the world with a license, he must go to the Celestial Master Mansion to take an exam to obtain a Celestial Master card with corresponding abilities.
Hey, that’s not right!
How could he remember that the Tianshi Mansion would issue five types of brands in the assessment, wood, green, yellow, purple, and black.
Wood color? Isn't that what the Celestial Master with the lowest ability does? Basically, you can only sit at a stall and do fortune telling for others to earn some living expenses.
But this person in front of me, isn't she the ancestor of the Taiwu Que Sect?
Taiwu Palace is the Xuanshi Mansion enshrined by the royal family. It is no exaggeration to say that in Taiwu Palace in the capital, purple cards are everywhere, yellow cards are scattered outside, green cards have just entered the world, wooden cards...
It is estimated that the disciples of Taiwu Que Sect cannot take them out themselves.
Does it have any deep meaning?
The main reason why Que Qingyue asked Yuan Ying to find and hang up the sign was because it was fine inside the city, but if she was walking outside, she still had to rely on something.
For example, Liu Sichen holds a sword in his hand, and people in the world know that he is a swordsman.
General Dongfang wears a curved sword, which shows that he is good at swordsmanship.
Yuan Ying's boxing technique was taught by an old and famous military officer in the Prefecture, and it belongs to the Bawang boxing line. Although she doesn't practice it frequently, she is born with magical power. With just a few exercises, she can equal others' ten years of hard work. With a single clenched fist , everyone knows that she is not easy to mess with.
Que Qingyue hung up this sign because the Que family still has some reputation in Danie. When others see that she is a member of the Taiwu Que Clan, they should think about it before taking action. After all, the Que Clan people are famous for protecting their shortcomings, even if they are just a wooden figure. A descendant of the Pai tribe.
It’s great to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.
Liu Sichen was puzzled.
He walked over and said, "Miss Que, this is the food for the horses. I see that you didn't bring much, so I'll share some with you. Of course, I can help you feed it..."
Seeing what he said, Yuan Ying grabbed the bag and said, "No, I can feed it."
Que Qingyue glanced sideways at Yuan Ying and taught, "Adjutant Liu will escort us all the way. Please be polite to me and say thank you."
Yuan Ying held the bag: "...Thank you very much."
If she could stay away from her ancestors, she could thank this person for eight generations of ancestors.
Que Qingyue saw that Liu Sichen was a talented person. No wonder he was already a lieutenant at a young age, and he could be a general after a further step. Since Dongfang Qingfeng took him with him, he should be his confidant.
Seeing that Liu Sichen was not leaving, she lowered her head and took a sip of water, and said casually: "Is General Liu a rooster?"
Liu Sichen could never get tired of looking at the beauty sitting there drinking tea slowly. Seeing that she was talking to him, he immediately replied nervously: "Yes, I am a chicken...how did Miss Que know?"
Que Qingyue paused while holding the cup and couldn't help but laugh. This person is really interesting.
"Okay, we know you are a chicken, what else can you do?" Yuan Ying held the grain bag and stood next to her ancestor to block Liu Sichen and asked.
Liu Sichen looked at the beauty and smiled, and he couldn't help but laugh too.
"Oh, I just wanted to ask Miss Que if there is anything I need. There are a few martial artists in the Fish and Dragon Caravan that I know. If you want to eat or drink on the way, just ask, it won't be a problem..."
Dongfang Qingfeng, who was leaning under the tree, looked at the man under his command with a hopeless look on his face. He leaned against the tree and looked at him up and down for a long time, and finally sneered and looked away.
After all, he was also a lieutenant general, and now he was laughing so disgustingly when he saw someone who looked a little more upright.
As a loud gong sound suddenly sounded, the caravan finally began to move slowly.
