After some explanation.
Only then did Xue Yun understand what happened to this group of women's soldiers along the way.
original.
They followed the large army from Rabbit City and traveled across mountains and rivers to reach Snake City in order to participate in the grand event of the "Alliance of Lords Conference".
Unfortunately, they were intercepted by the Imperial City Legion on the way. After a chaotic battle, the entire team was completely broken up, and everyone fled in various directions in order to save their lives.
In great embarrassment, he was eventually chased all the way by the Imperial Guards.
As for the identity of the mother and daughter, Dongfang Haoyue did not continue to conceal it under Xue Yun's repeated questioning.
Astonishingly, they were Liu, the first wife of the Lord of Rabbit City, and his daughter, Dongfang Li, who was only in her teens.
"So, that's what happened..."
He nodded in realization.
Xue Yun curled his lips and said helplessly: "It's a bit difficult for you to insist on escaping all the way here with a bunch of oil bottles."
He couldn't help but bow his head and remain silent.
Dongfang Haoyue bit her lips tightly, the grievances in her belly almost overflowing instantly.
Although she is a night watchman, her strength is average, and her talent is far from great.
In particular, he is very weak in character and is not suitable for leading troops in battles outside.
not to mention.
Dongfang Haoyue's identity is sensitive, and not everyone may know the background of her illegitimate daughter, but seeing the good treatment given to Liu and Dongfang Li will always make her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Haoyue once again thanks Minister Xue for helping me just now."
A bitter smile.
Dongfang Haoyue pondered for a moment, then summoned up the courage to speak: "If it's possible, I have one more unkind favor..."
Lift your chin.
Xue Yun smiled slightly and said bluntly: "If I guess correctly, do you want me to escort you all the way to Snake City?"
There was no rebuttal.
Dongfang Haoyue's cheeks turned red, and while she was frightened, she couldn't help but nodded silently.
Different from Liu's silly bitch.
As a night watchman who has traveled abroad, Dongfang Haoyue is very aware of the urinary nature of a master like Xue Yun.
Whether you are willing to help or not is completely up to the other person's thoughts.
Even if he promised a huge reward, Xue Yun could always just let go and ignore him if he made anyone feel even the slightest bit unhappy.
The weak will eat the strong, and strength will prevail.
The authority of the wife of the lord and city lord of the fortress city, in the dangerous wilderness, is simply worthless, and no one will give half a penny for it.
"Okay, I happen to be going to Snake City anyway."
Never thought about it.
Xue Yun readily agreed and said with a grin: "However, there is no free lunch in the world, and the related expenses must not be reduced, especially the physical work of escorting orphans and widows, which requires extra money... "
Stunned on the spot.
Dongfang Haoyue couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Minister Xue, what do you mean?"
Hold out three fingers.
Xue Yun grinned, feinted in front of the girl, and made an offer in front of her face: "Three hundred kilograms of raw magnetic gold ore, I will take this job, and I guarantee to complete the task!"
"Three, three hundred kilograms..."
A pair of beautiful eyes widened.
Dongfang Haoyue's beauty suddenly turned pale. To her, this was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
"Don't think it's expensive, don't bargain."
There is no such thing as master style.
Xue Yun shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said: "After all, he is the lord of a prince city in the Great Xia Empire. If he can't afford such a small expense, it is better to let his wife and daughter die in the wild."
The words left the girl speechless.
Dongfang Haoyue hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, then it's settled!"
"There is no basis for what you say..."
He took out the pen and paper from the system space with his backhand.
Xue Yun handed it to Dongfang Haoyue, with a standard attitude of a profiteer, and said with a bad smile: "Let's establish a written agreement between us. It's better to have an explanation when we get to Snake City. Of course, we have to let the girl named Liu They signed and stamped it, after all, she is the direct relative of your city lord."
The corner of his mouth twitched silently.
Dongfang Haoyue completely lost her temper and couldn't figure out why the other party would be so greedy for money when he clearly had such tyrannical strength.
As the saying goes, people are poor and have short ambitions.
Walking around the world without anything valuable, Xue Yun always felt uneasy.
In the past few years, he has traveled all over the country, and the little wealth he accumulated in the past has long been squandered.
If you don't think of ways to get some inventory to squeeze your pockets, if you encounter something that needs to spend money in the future, even if you want to make ends meet, it is probably useless.
"Wait a moment......"
He grabbed the pen and paper.
Dongfang Haoyue turned around and returned to the team, whispering a few words to the still proud Liu.
But he saw that the other party's eyelids were drooped, and even though he was in trouble, he still maintained a condescending attitude. He glanced at Xue Yun in the distance without warning, his eyes filled with inexplicable contempt.
Think about it for a while.
In the end, Mrs. Liu personally wrote the document and signed it, accompanied by a group of servants.
After a while.
Dongfang Haoyue came to Xue Yun and respectfully handed over the receipt in her hand.
"Please also ask Minister Xue to take a look."
"Yeah, nothing wrong."
Received the document.
Xue Yun nodded, threw it into the system space with his backhand, and suggested: "Without further delay, let's set off as soon as daybreak."
Dongfang Haoyue agreed with Xue Yun's proposal.
Living in the wilderness with complex environment, not only must we guard against sneak attacks by wild monsters, but also if we encounter the Imperial City troops patrolling nearby again, there will inevitably be another fierce battle.
For the current plan, it is the wisest thing to rush to the relatively safe Snake City as soon as possible.
"Uh, let me interject..."
Gongsun Su, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward and asked with a wry smile: "Do you have a positioning device on you, or is there anyone who can understand the map?"
Shaked his head.
Dongfang Haoyue smiled bitterly and said: "The team was dispersed by the enemy at that time. In order to cover the wife and the eldest lady, our group escaped in such a hurry that we had no time to prepare communication and positioning devices."
I think so.
It's too late to run for your life, so who has time to prepare those things?
What's more, if this group of women's soldiers had communication equipment, they wouldn't need Xue Yun's help. It would be more worry-free to wait for rescue on the spot.
"It's over..."
It was like a deflated rubber ball in an instant.
Gongsun Su said with a mournful face: "These women are just like us. They are all blind. The sky is huge and the devil knows where to go back to Snake City!"
"As for the map, I can understand it."
Dongfang Haoyue suddenly said: "In the previous training camp in Tu City, I always got perfect marks in the field survival theory knowledge class. As long as I have a map of Snake City and observe the direction of the constellations at night, I will be able to accurately locate it."
Hear the words.
Gongsun Su immediately cheered up, and with a snap of his fingers, the huge poisonous dragon behind him looked over, opened his mouth and spit out a wrinkled map from his belly.
"I go!"
He frowned.
Xue Yun couldn't help but said in shock: "Didn't you burn this thing just now?!"
"Hey, this is stock."
A lewd smile.
Gongsun Su shrugged his nose, gave a thumbs up and said: "We, the children of the Jianghu, travel out all the time, so we should prepare more of these things, at least we will be prepared."
Taking the map covered with mucus, he stuffed it into Dongfang Haoyue's hands without any explanation.
The poor girl was petrified on the spot.
His hands were instantly covered with the poisonous dragon's saliva, and the disgusted expression on his face could not be concealed at all.
