"Okay, today's batch has been delivered."
Some time later, in the northeast of the Hulun settlement, a carriage that had been driving slowly for a long time came to a precarious stop among the streets and alleys where white tents were grouped together. The driver sitting at the front of the carriage then also He jumped down with a strong tribal accent, and at the same time shook off the sweat on his body and the tribal top tied to his waist towards the other two tribal warriors who came forward: "Really, it's all on my own. Moving up and down over there...how long will this kind of physical work continue?"
"Continue until there is no need to transport." He greeted the soldiers from other tribes around him and began to get into the carriage. The tribal soldier in charge of the connection coldly replied to the coachman: "Don't ask unnecessary questions, and don't inquire about unnecessary things. "
"Okay, okay, I know the rules." Pushing his hands, the coachman completely cleared the entrance of the carriage that he was blocking: "But no matter how wooden a person is, he should feel a little curious now. Well, ever since that incident, I have been sent here to transport these things, and I have been doing this until now, and I haven’t finished transporting them yet?”
"If nothing else happens, you will still be able to do it for a long time." The leading tribal warrior pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and replied coldly: "If you don't want to do it, just tell me earlier and we will find someone else."
"No, no, such a good reward, the goods I usually haul are not worth the price." With a smile on his face again, the driver rubbed his hands like a businessman: "I just... uh , I’m thinking about whether to distribute this work to more people, even if I give them some wages - Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, tell me!"
"Don't forget the agreement you made with us before." The dazzling light of the sword flashed between the people who were constantly moving up and down, accompanied by the low-pitched warning of the tribal warrior: "If you transport the goods If you spread the word everywhere, your head will be on the ground soon, we can guarantee it."
"Ah hahahaha, of course I know this, after all, he is from the Shi Nan Army." There were a few drops of sweat on the side of the dry smile, and the driver with his hands raised looked as if he did not dare to move at all: "Shi Nan Army It's hard to say anything else, but our clan is famous for its decisiveness in killing... Don't worry, I will never dare to tell anyone."
"Very good." The seemingly motionless knife handle slowly retracted, and the tribal warrior's cold eyes moved to the side of the carriage: "Let's leave after all the boxes are moved down, not here. Stay tuned.”
"Okay, okay, I know, I know." After nodding and bending for a while, the coachman began to retreat back with a smile on his face: "Then this time tomorrow, I will come on time."
"..."
Without saying too much, the tribal soldier turned around and began to make commanding gestures in the direction where his soldiers began to withdraw. However, the coachman who looked at the back stopped in place. The man who wanted to get in the car stopped. The action of setting off was paused for a moment: "Well... I still have a question I want to ask about."
"I heard that someone stole the 'Wind Calming Stone' two days ago. Is this true?"
He said this hesitantly, and then shrank his neck when the sharp gaze came back from the front as expected: "There have been a lot of rumors recently. I, I feel a little curious, so I want to ask, I want to ask. ask."
"That's right, so we are also chasing that prisoner." After staring at the coachman for a long time, the tribal soldier finally retracted his gaze: "If you see her, please come and notify us as soon as possible. Don’t act rashly on your own, do you hear me clearly?”
"Then, that is really a heinous crime." He clapped his hands in front of his body, and the driver's shocked expression was quickly withdrawn in response to the warning gaze from the other party: "I believe in the strength of all the warriors, you will definitely be able to do it. The person who captured the sinner immediately, along with the Wind Suppressing Stone——"
"Okay, this is not your business." He raised his hand to interrupt the coachman. The half-turned tribal warrior twisted the gray-white scarf on his head to the top of his forehead: "Just complete your task. good."
"Well, then I'm leaving." The coachman climbed back to the front of the carriage. The coachman raised his whip and pressed his head and replied in a low voice: "Is it still this time tomorrow?"
"That's right."
Amidst the neighing of the horses and the creaking of the carriage, the unloaded carriage left the place as quickly as possible, and the driver, who had always been groveling, put away the smiling expression on his face and turned around. And sighed deeply: "... Phew."
"It seems that you really got into a lot of trouble."
I don't know why he sighed and said this. The coachman led the rickety carriage quickly back and forth between countless white tents. The traveling route seemed to be shaking off something, and the sound continued in this area. The noise and chatter around the settlement camp kept circling: "I heard that some outsiders have come to the tribe in the past two days. They seem to be called the Sioux tribe or something..."
"What about the Sioux tribe? I've heard of this tribe. It seems to be a very powerful tribe. It was once called the 'King of the North' or something."
"How is that possible? I went to the west and took a look at them. They looked like a group of migrating wandering tribes. They didn't look like a powerful tribe at all."
"It's natural. I heard that they left the Medris Grassland a long time ago and stayed on the barren grassland in the northwest for a long time, and then they came here for unknown reasons..."
It's another group of outsiders who don't know why they came here.
He recited this sentence silently in his heart, and the coachman who kept hearing rumors from the market closed his eyes and took a deep breath. However, the carriage that was constantly bumping slowly stopped at this moment. , settled in front of an ordinary white tent crowded with countless people: "Are we here?"
"I already have enough troubles, and I'm not in the mood to care about the things in front of me anymore."
Saying this to himself, he turned back and dug out a small wooden box from the carriage behind him. This old wooden box had not been discovered by the previous soldiers. At this time There was also a faint aroma of food, and it moved quickly to the side of the white tent in the hands of the driver: "I brought it back, you can eat first."
"..."
"I went around and asked around. That guy should be the one who caused trouble among the Manchu people recently."
"..."
"How is it possible? We won't keep her forever."
Standing at the door of the tent and arguing with someone who didn't know what kind of person he was, the coachman's lowered voice became more urgent at this time: "The atmosphere in the clan is as tight as a storm now. Something is definitely happening. What a big deal, if we are making such trouble at this time, aren’t we afraid of getting in trouble?”
"..."
"I know that I picked up that woman. Of course, I should deal with the trouble I brought back." Pointing to his chest, the coachman once again put on an upright and groveling look that was completely different from the previous one. Posture: "I have also inquired about some other information and made some guesses about the origin of that woman, so..."
"Don't worry about it, I will take care of it."
The hand that opened the door curtain began to move back, and the coachman's cold expression was as determined as he had made up: "When the woman's injury gets better, I will find an opportunity to send her out, just to - -Um."
"I heard that a group of foreigners have recently moved here from the west. Let's just give it to them." He put down the door curtain and walked back to the direction of the carriage: "It's a good thing that trouble and trouble come together, at least with us. It doesn’t matter anymore, if something really goes wrong——”
"Those foreigners should take the blame for us."
With a smug smile on his lips, the coachman then drove the carriage away from this place again. The swaying carriage that seemed to blend into the prosperity of the settlement stopped for a moment at the next intersection, seemingly in this chaotic and lively place. Something unusual was found in the crowd: "Who?"
"Ah, sorry, sorry." Pressing the hood on the back of his gray magic robe, Duan Qing suddenly appeared from the side of the coachman's position and walked out slowly with a smile: "It's time for the invisibility potion, so I accidentally I'm really sorry for scaring you."
"Invisibility potion?" Looking up and down at the appearance of the adventurer who came forward, the driver's suspicious eyes returned to normal in the next moment. "Ahem... I don't know about this, uh , what are the outsiders doing following the villain? Do you want to see the villain for something?"
"My name is Linyuan Duanshui, and I am a new adventurer here." He bent down and bowed to the coachman, and Duan Qing's expression also showed a smile and indifference as usual: "I wonder what you call me?"
"My name is Baglan, and I am a coachman." He clenched the reins in front of his eyes with both hands. The coachman's appearance was still as relaxed as he showed: "Are you new here? What is the profession of an adventurer?"
"Just treat it as a service industry. Although I am also a temporary employee now. I was originally arranged to be a gatekeeper." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly, and there was still no smile on the corner of Duan Qing's mouth. Putting it down: "The reason why I want to come out and meet you is just an accident... uh no, I have something I want to ask you about."
"Do you know a woman named Nasia?" He raised the adventurer's manual in his hand, and gestured with the other hand in front of the other party: "One meter sixty-seven - ah, no, it's nearly two meters. Farigao, he should be very beautiful, and the kind that just disappeared near Apollon..."
"I don't know you." He said the answer with a smile, and the coachman named Baglan replied quickly: "I thought you showed up here because you had some business to pull a coach, but it turned out that you were just here to look for someone. ?”
"You really don't know me?" There was a flash of light in his eyes. Duan Qing, who ignored the other party's rhetorical questions, continued with a smile: "I heard that the woman caused trouble in the elders' meeting hall and fled here in this direction. Near this area, I thought you, who often hang around here, might have witnessed something."
"I'm just a truck driver who transports goods. I usually help people pull goods." There was some sweat on his face, and Baglan's voice seemed to be trembling a little when he answered: "I don't have anything. I want to see what everyone on the grassland looks like, where they come from and where they are going. It is already very difficult just to earn some gold coins to supplement the family income."
"The recent days are indeed not easy, and we adventurers feel the same way." Duan Qing clapped his hands, and also put on an encouraging expression: "But even if you are a coachman, if you want to do something good, It can be done... Come on! Don't lose to those so-called tribal warriors and powerful people. As long as you have the will, you can definitely succeed."
"Huh? That, of course." After being slightly stunned, coachman Baglen subconsciously replied: "Thank you for your encouragement and appreciation - is there anything else?"
He bowed again as a salute, and Duan Qing, who retreated, also kindly moved out of the way. The coachman who reacted then subconsciously put away his sight, and drove the carriage slowly from the gray road. The magician drove past. Watching the carriage disappear at the end of the crowd, the smile on Duan Qing's face slowly disappeared. He once again made a few heavy strokes on the adventurer's manual in his hand, and then pointed his finger at He said to the place he had just marked: "Oh, it was not in vain that I spent so much effort to trace it all the way to here."
"The problem now is how to break into this incident. It's best to make it more logical." His fingers and eyes moved up and down at every location on the adventurer's map, and the light of thought in his eyes became more and more obvious. Lai Yuesheng said: "I think I just alerted the enemy. I hope it can have a little effect."
Following the road that the coachman had traveled and his record on the map, he once again walked to the small tent where the driver had got off the car and stayed. After his eyes lingered around for a while, he then turned his eyes not far away. Standing near the windmill in front of the setting sun, he seemed to be constantly locating his position: "Well, here, they will probably choose to go around from the south, and then touch the wilderness to the west... Okay."
"Just ambush near this place."
After another period of secret observation and waiting, he quietly left the vicinity of the tent, and then disappeared silently into the distance of the settlement camp where the Sioux people were temporarily arranged, amidst the crowds of people constantly flowing around. .
