Chapter 140 Qiushan Town Inn
It wasn't until the leader of the green-armored guards nodded at the various factions in front of them and said "Let's go" that everyone was convinced.
Xu Yuliang, the president of the Xujia Chamber of Commerce, suddenly remembered that the Xuejia Chamber of Commerce had complained to him in private yesterday, saying, "A lot of people will die on this escort trip, so we might as well run away as soon as possible." However, Xu Yuliang did not take it into account at the time. He only thought that what the other party said was angry, because other people besides him had said so, but he turned around and went to talk to the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce.
Now it seems that what the other party said at that time was not a sentimental thing, but that he really wanted to do this. However, since the Liu family dared to agree, they must have already planned to escape.
Without two competitors, Xu Yuliang not only felt no joy in his heart, but also became worried. He looked back at the huge and prosperous city, but at this moment he felt that the other party was more like a savage beast that eats people without spitting out bones. People have no way of getting out.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuliang only felt horrified. Although the Liu family and the Xue family were not powerful, they were not far different from his own. Why did they disappear so quietly? He neither dares to get angry nor speak out now.
Although Zhao Feng looked calm on the surface, he was a little more serious about this matter in his heart. It seemed that those people last night were not simply monitoring them, but to see if they would escape.
After thinking about it, the lazy young man sent a message to the men around him:
"Be careful with the Tan family. If it comes to a critical moment, they may take action against one of their own."
Several men couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing this. They subconsciously clenched the scabbards in their hands, as if they would draw the sword at any time.
This time, the Helian family only dispatched ten people, even fewer than the Xu Family Chamber of Commerce, while almost all other family forces dispatched more than twenty people, which made Helianjing and his son seem a little out of place.
Helian Jing's expression was not good-looking under everyone's contemptuous gazes, but this matter was not his arrangement, but Helian Haixin's deliberate move.
Originally, He Lianjing arranged for twenty guards to accompany him after returning yesterday, and Helian Haixin did not object. But in the middle of the night, his son suddenly woke him up and called the twenty guards again. , after some screening, only ten people were finalized. Although He Lianjing didn't know why the other party did this, he felt that his son must have discovered something and changed his mind temporarily.
Under the disdainful gaze, He Lianjing glanced in the direction of Helian Haixin and saw that instead of looking strange at all, the other person's expression was very calm, but there was a touch of solemnity in the calmness.
There are a total of twenty-seven carriages in this escort team, and there are nearly two hundred warriors accompanying them. The scale is so large that Zhao Feng has never seen in his life. Although there are many people, the atmosphere feels strange, except for those few Except for some members of the family who were chatting and laughing, the rest of the family either looked bitter and sighed in their hearts, or looked solemn and said nothing.
The carriage guarded by Huofeng Escort was extremely heavy, and the depth of the tracks made by the axle could be seen how hard the horse was working.
The carriage was loaded with six engraved wooden boxes. These wooden boxes looked the same in appearance. Zhao Feng inadvertently approached the carriage and quietly explored it with his spirit. As expected, these wooden boxes were indeed added. Two layers of seals isolated the soul.
Although the lazy young man didn't know what was inside, he discovered that the wooden box was not one layer, but had two layers. Only the inner layer was added with the Soul Isolation Formation, while the outer layer was to prevent someone from stealing. of prohibition.
After the investigation was completed, Zhao Feng returned to his position as if nothing had happened. During the whole process, he kept a calm expression and did not show the slightest trace of uneasiness. Because of this, he cleverly avoided everyone's sight and did not let anyone see him. People noticed him.
…
The convoy transporting darts must first go south for a while. When they arrive at a small town, they will then start from the small town and walk up to the east, bypassing a mountain range and then heading north. After passing through the second town, they will arrive This is the territory of Luo Yunzong. Although the journey is relatively long, it is a broad road and will not make everyone tired.
This trip, if we go quickly, will take about two or three days to complete, but obviously, everyone calculates it as at least four days.
Since they set out at noon, night fell soon after. Fortunately, it was not far from Qiushan Town, and they arrived here before the sun set.
Although it is only the evening, the shops in the town have closed early. The curfew in Yunxi County is relatively strict. Apart from inns, only taverns can remain open, while other shops must close. Most of the people were powerless and naturally they did not dare to offend.
More than 20 carriages stopped after arriving in the town. They needed to find a place to spend the night. The green-armored guard at the head was sitting on the carriage, as if waiting for something.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a disciple wearing a coarse cloth jacket ran over from the east. He came to the guard, knelt down on one knee with his hands clasped in fists and said:
"Sir, there is an inn ahead that is still open."
The guard glanced at him and replied, "Well, go over and see how many rooms they have and ask about the price."
"yes!"
About half a quarter of an hour later, the disciple ran back and said:
"Replying to your lord, the inn has ten lower-class rooms and five upper-class rooms, but the upper-class rooms are all full, and there are eight lower-class rooms left. The price is thirty cents for a lower-class room, and fifty cents for an upper-class room. Wait for a room."
"Tell the innkeeper that someone from Tan Mansion is coming and ask them to free up all the rooms and prepare some food and wine." After the green-armored guard finished speaking, he took out a tael of silver from his waist and threw it to the person in front of him, and then continued:
"If he does well, he will be rewarded with a tael of silver, but if he doesn't do well, he will have to move his head!"
"yes!"
"Lead the carriage to the east, and the people behind will follow!"
The green-armored guard shouted at the people behind him, and the convoy headed east in a mighty manner.
…
The disciples in civilian clothes hurried to the inn, but the old-looking innkeeper was taking a nap. When he saw this guy coming again, he suddenly became impatient. He couldn't help complaining:
"I'm telling you, guest, do you want to stay in the hotel? If you don't, I will close the hotel."
As soon as the old shopkeeper saw the disciple, he knew that he was from the escort agency. In his eyes, these Jianghu people were all very poor. Even a small room had to be crowded with seven or eight people. Just the few pennies in their bags were enough. Even the little thieves who stole things had to tearfully stuff a few coins into their hands when they saw it.
