When encountering such a situation on weekdays, none of these guests would be aggressive and want to show their authority in front of them so that they can get more bonuses when settling the money at the end of the month.
Today seems to be a bit depressing, and seems to be hiding something.
The eldest brother Chaowu may not care much about these details because of his heroic nature, but he must pay attention to any disturbance just in case.
This escort trip put all the wealth accumulated by Longming Escort Bureau over the years, so he had to be cautious.
Although there are several tables separated from the heads, their conversation can be heard clearly.
Yiran only thought it was funny. It was strange that two of the three guests had faces, so they dared to talk to them. Moreover, they had walked for five days and two hundred miles without noticing anything unusual.
"Brother, it's almost two hundred miles and we haven't even seen a horse thief spy. We need to be cautious in everything we do." Second Master Hong Zheng's eyes were full of worry.
"Second brother, don't be too panicked. Now that you have accepted the escort, it would be a bit embarrassing to worry about defeat before worrying about victory."
"With me in charge, plus you, your third brother, and three guest ministers here, I haven't heard of any gang of horse thieves that can kill us in one fell swoop." Zhang Wu, the leader, looked determined. He was obviously used to traveling in the desert and had a calm personality. .
"Second brother, don't worry too much. With the eldest brother's superb martial arts skills and the four of us, we can fight even if there are top masters among the horse thieves."
"And after so many years, there has never been any top horse thief among horse thieves. After all, with that ability, you can work as a nursing home for a wealthy family without worrying about food and drink. Why be a horse thief who hangs his head on his belt? ." The third boss was obviously very confident about this escort.
"Second brother, it's better not to worry. What we will encounter later is nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and covering up the soil. Why worry about these things now?"
"Three of us brothers have never seen strong winds and waves. How can we capsize in the gutter?"
The only guest who didn't cover his face said: "Don't worry about the three masters, there are three of us!"
The three heads looked at each other and nodded silently, but Lin Sifang always felt something strange.
Of course the three of them understood that if these guests wanted them to contribute some money, it was enough, but it was impossible for them to fight to the death.
If it really comes to that juncture, it would be a good thing if you don't stab them in the back and hurt them with their heads.
At this time, the shopkeeper also came over, called the waiter, and greeted Chao Wu with clasped fists.
"Master Chao, I'm here to support you again. Thank you very much. Eight carriages worth of goods appear to be a big deal."
Chao Wu clasped his fists in response and said boldly: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for being so polite. Escort agents are all small businessmen who work hard to make a little money. You have a good reputation here and you live in a stable place. Naturally, you will come to support me more."
"It's not easy to sleep peacefully when you're away from home."
"Master Chao is so humble. He is about to surpass the strength of a top master. Those Xiao Xiaoxiao will be heartbroken to see him. We at Tongfu Inn are counting on the support of seniors like you."
The middle-aged man known as Shopkeeper Xie said to the waiter beside him: "Sending two jars of five-year-old Tongfu wine to Mr. Chao Da will be regarded as the sincerity of our inn."
Then he turned around and faced Chao Wu and said, "Master Chao, we open our doors to do business with integrity, otherwise no one in this barren mountain would dare to come to our Tongfu Inn."
"No matter how strong the master is, when he comes to my Tongfu Inn, the sword will not be unsheathed. No matter how high the skill is, it will never be as high as in front of my Tongfu Inn."

flagpole. "
After exchanging pleasantries with Chao Wu, shopkeeper Xie turned around and left, while glancing at Yi Ran vaguely.
The master and the guest looked at the strong wine on the table, but they did not dare to take a swig. The six of them could not drink a bottle of it, and the other bodyguards had not even touched a drop of wine.
Looking at the back of shopkeeper Xie as he left, the three heads clasped their fists at him and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, shopkeeper."
The three of them also knew that the guests here might have evil intentions.
Shopkeeper Xie's words seemed to express his attitude, but in fact they also shocked Xiao Xiao for Longming Escort. In Tongfu Inn, no one was allowed to attack Longming Escort.
Those young escorts felt extremely proud and smug when they saw that the shopkeeper was only chatting with them and completely ignoring other customers.
The young man who had not yet gathered his inner strength was not qualified to sit on the sidelines. Looking at the proud expressions of the senior brothers, he was also happy for the escort agency.
But after seeing the serious expressions of the leaders, I couldn't help but ask the groom beside me, who was also not qualified to sit down, why the senior brothers and masters reacted differently.
The old groom stroked his gray and scattered beard and said softly: "I don't understand this. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Only by being silent can you make a fortune. The more famous you are in the world, the less likely you are to live long."
"The shopkeeper said that all eight carts of goods are prohibited from being handled in Tongfu Inn. Do you think he is kind or malicious?"
The young man touched his head, with a bitter look on his face, and said aggrievedly: "But those shopkeepers also gave wine to the boss, they seem to be good people!"
The sloppy old man looked speechless and said in a troubled manner: "If you can see his bad intentions, how can this inn continue to operate?"
This was the young man's first time as a escort, and he was full of curiosity and goodwill about the entire so-called world.
After finishing the meal, everyone with their own thoughts left and went back to their rooms.
The shadow of the Sunset Inn is getting longer and longer.
Although the inn has a good reputation, no one can guarantee that it will be completely foolproof, and no one will trust their life to a verbal promise.
There are bound to be many people who have trouble sleeping.
Unexpectedly, it was extremely quiet the whole night, and the three heads finally fell into a light sleep.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the escorts began to prepare dry rations and set out on the road immediately. The price of the cheap dry rations suddenly increased several times when they arrived in this place.
The boy who went out for the first time immediately became excited and almost cursed the illegal store.
A pot of water cost him one month's worth of money. Although he didn't have to pay for it, it still made him extremely heartbroken.
Yiran, who had been sitting cross-legged on the bed all night to gather his thoughts, suddenly changed color when he saw the knights who had dinner together yesterday, and he did not say anything.
The eyes of these people looked at him with a strange, even greedy look, as if he had turned into a delicious delicacy, even crazier than the eyes of the Guzhen zombies looking at blood.
However, the strength of these people was too insignificant, so Yiran chose to wait and see what would happen.
After walking for another two days, we were about three hundred miles away from Wangbei City. Suddenly a horse came from the north, shouting: "The warrior in front is the Longming Escort Agency? Stop, stop!"
The sudden arrival of a horse and knowing the name of their escort agency instantly made the young escorts nervous.
After all, most people can't ride a horse, and the anxious look on this man's face indicates that something big is going on.
Lin Sifang waved his hand to stop the convoy.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, and rode out of the convoy alone.
I saw a young man arriving in the blink of an eye, but he was listless, with sand still stuck to his dry and cracked lips, and the horse under his crotch was foaming at the mouth. As soon as he stopped, he fell to his knees and fell unconscious, looking like he was no longer alive. .
The young man's first words made Lin Sifang tightly hold the long knife in his hand.
After the young man saw Lin Sifang clearly, he directly cursed: "Why are you, an old man, the one who injured my father and forced him to withdraw from the world? If I had known that I was sending you a message, I would never have agreed."
"I was just traveling on the border of Jiuwu Principality and received a favor from someone. I promised my benefactor to send him a message quickly. I didn't expect to meet you."
As he spoke, the young man licked his dry lips. Running all the way in the wind and sand, he had already reached his limit and was afraid that he might faint at any time.
Lin Sifang listened to the enemy's son talking non-stop, and listened silently without interrupting him. He only loosened his grip on the long knife slightly.
Looking at the miserable appearance of this guy who claims to be the son of his enemy, do you think this guy is really not afraid of giving him a knife to avoid future troubles?
"My benefactor said that he was traveling north and encountered several waves of horse thieves who seemed to be gathering. There were about 200 people, and half of them owned big horses. The momentum was terrifying."
"Furthermore, the leaders of several waves of horse thieves have the strength of masters. It seems that there are masters hidden secretly. If you are not strong enough to compete, I hope you can make other plans."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sifang frowned fiercely. The guy in front of him who only knew to be the son of his enemy could not tell whether the news he brought was true or false. It was even harder to guess who the benefactor he mentioned was.
While Lin Sifang was thinking about it, the young man coughed twice and passed out, still muttering: "I, the Jianghu people, should make a promise, and do what I promise with all my strength, even if I die, I will have no regrets."
Lin Sifang looked at the unconscious young man, and then at the exhausted horse, and knew that this young man had been running non-stop for at least a day and a night.
I was really shocked. Is there such an innocent young man in the world?
He ran hundreds of miles for Yinuo, exhausted his horse to death, and still told the truth to his father and his enemies when he saw his wounded father.
Lin Sifang carried the boy back to the team and signaled to set up camp.
"Brother, this young man said that a large group of horse thieves have gathered ahead and are ready to carve us up. There are a few masters and more than 200 people. Should we go there directly, or make other plans?"
"Can this person's words be trusted? He came out of nowhere, and I heard that he is the son of your enemy." The second master suddenly spoke up with a gloomy look on his face.
Hearing this, Lin Sifang let out a breath and said, "This young man doesn't look like he is lying, and regardless of whether the news is true or not, we should have dealt with it early."
After hearing the discussion between the two, Chao Wu made a final decision with a glance: "Let the recruited knights go twenty miles ahead of the team to investigate, and we will slow down the speed of travel."
Hong Zheng and Lin Sifang looked at each other: "That's great."
Upon receiving the signal from Chao Wu, six knights, including Yi Ran, separated from the team on their horses and left first.
Before they could disappear from sight after walking two miles, a sudden strong wind filled the sky with sand and dust, obscuring everyone's vision.
He didn't even bother to worry about those few knights. In desperation, he immediately set up camp on the spot.
The wind and sand covered the sky and the sun. Yiran ignored the wind and sand, with a strange smile on his lips. He looked at the five rangers who were getting closer and said softly: "Finally, I have shown up. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
