Chapter 316
"Do we need to work for something as small as night patrol?" The girl from the Mei family was a little reluctant when she heard this. After all, there are many spiritual beings in the spiritual master realm in this caravan, so just send out a few of them.
.
The woman's eldest brother, on the other hand, thought for a while and said: "Junior, since Master Qi has hired us with a piece of Pluto Iron and four hundred spirit stones, then during this period, as long as we do not go too far, we will obey their arrangements.
It’s okay.”
The girl among the Mei brothers hummed slightly and said nothing.
When Commander Zhao heard this, he hugged the man's fists to express his gratitude.
"Commander Zhao, lower-class people will naturally take care of the matter of taking turns to guard. However, it is best to pay attention to the guards of your store and not be too lax, otherwise it will be bad if there is an enemy attack.
"Just when Commander Zhao was about to ride away, Xu Hong spoke calmly.
"Humph, this place is so open. Even if there is an enemy attack, it will be discovered in advance only hundreds of feet away. If you are worried, you can go outside and guard." The middle daughter of the Mei brothers seemed to hate Xu Hong deeply.
, coupled with the fact that I had to accept rotating inspections, I felt bad for a while, so I couldn't help but yell out.
The man in the middle of the Mei family frowned when he heard this, but in the end he sighed softly and did not stop him. He did not like the notorious Xu Hong, but he would not be like his sister.
, take the initiative to provoke disputes on such occasions.
Xu Hong glanced at them lightly and ignored the Mei siblings. With his current vision, he would naturally not take the provocation of such a small person seriously.
"The guards of my Qi's Merchant Alliance are all well-trained people, so you don't have to worry about this." Commander Zhao said with a sullen face, leaving these words coldly, and left to arrange other matters.
Xu Hong glanced at the desolate land in the distance again, and immediately withdrew his gaze. He had already given his advice, but if the other party didn't listen well, that was not something he considered.
As time went by, the sky became darker and darker. After the guards of the Qi's Merchant Alliance set up tents, they lit a lot of bonfires around them. The small tents formed a circle and surrounded the cars.
The cargo is guarded in the middle.
The fourth young master of the Qi family, Qi Shaofeng, had not shown up since he boarded the carriage during the day.
It has been decided that Xu Hong and the four of them will take turns to watch the night. Naturally, the Mei brothers refused to separate. They decided to watch the first half of the night, while Xu Hong and Ghost Rakshasa were responsible for patrolling in the second half of the night.
There was no words all night, but early the next morning, at dawn, Qi Shaofeng's voice came from the carriage, and after giving the order to move forward, the entire caravan started moving.
However, within a quarter of an hour, all the tents had been dismantled and loaded onto the cart, and the caravan set off again.
This actually made Xu Hongyou startled and suspicious. He looked at the desolate land in the distance a few more times and frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything and continued to move forward with the caravan.
And just half an hour after the entire caravan left, several huge gaps suddenly opened in the desolate land hundreds of feet away from where they were originally stationed, and four black-clothed and masked figures appeared.
It jumped up from the ground and was hiding underground the entire time.
Xu Hong was a little surprised when he heard that Master Qi, the Fourth Young Master, was already willing to compromise with the other party before the fight. Moreover, he was also happy in his heart.
If the matter can really be resolved peacefully, then his identity as Hua Xiaoque will not be exposed. Although this will bring disadvantages to the escort and the remuneration agreed with the Qi's Merchant Alliance will be in vain, it is still better than exposing his identity.
.
From now on, the most important thing is to find a way to get the medicinal materials needed to practice the mystic arts by yourself.
However, as he was thinking this, the leader of the men in black on the other side had already sneered: "Asking for money? Fourth Young Master Qi, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? If it's just for asking for money, I can do it."
Why is there such a big battle? No need to talk nonsense. If you are sensible, please hand over that thing."
Hearing this, Qi Shaofeng sighed softly, the trace of luck in his heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but fell silent.
The guards of the Qi's Merchant Alliance all held magic weapons in their hands, looking fearless and fearless, just waiting for Qi Shaofeng to issue orders.
"Hahaha, Fourth Young Master Qi, it seems that among the goods escorted by your shop this time, there is indeed an incredible treasure. It actually attracted so many experts to come out to intercept and kill." Suddenly, the bald man, Ghost Rakshasa,
He rolled his eyes and couldn't help but speak.
Qi Shaofeng looked at him coldly: "What do you want to say?"
The bald man licked his dry lips and said: "Young Master Qi Si, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. With the power of your Qi merchant alliance, there is no treasure that you can't get. In my opinion, this time...
"
"Shut up!" Commander Zhao didn't wait for the bald man to finish what he said, and immediately yelled, with a look of shock and anger on his face: "You are all hired by our Qi's Merchant Alliance, and all actions must be arranged by the Fourth Young Master. Where?
It's your turn to point fingers."
Qi Shaofeng covered his face with frost and said nothing. Before the men in black came to kill him, there was going to be internal strife on his side. This was something he had never expected. He couldn't help but feel sorry for himself for recklessly recruiting these notorious spiritual beings.
I felt a little regretful.
When the group of men in black on the other side saw this scene, they also looked at it with great interest and seemed to be in no hurry to attack immediately. Anyway, the men and horses of the Qi's Merchant Alliance were enveloped by the formation and could not escape.
"Well...I still like to control my own destiny. I can't just obey your arrangements knowing that there is a dead end ahead. Brother Hua, do you think this is the truth?" The bald man looked at the glaring Commander Zhao.
Turning a blind eye and talking to himself, he suddenly looked in the direction of Xu Hong.
This made Xu Hong curse in his heart.
The next moment, everyone's eyes were on him as expected, which made Xu Hong have murderous intentions towards the bald man.
"A guy at the fifth level of the spiritual master realm dares to play tricks on me. He really doesn't know whether to live or die." Xu Hong was a little angry at the bald man's behavior. Even though the outcome he wanted most was for Qi Shaofeng to hand over everything he had.
Whatever was needed, everyone left without incident.
But after all, he was hired by someone else. Xu Hong really didn't bother to do this kind of thing of rebelling against his employer when danger came.
He rode on the horse and said calmly: "Since Hua has accepted the employment of Qi's Merchant Alliance, during this period, he will naturally do his best to protect the employer's goods. If the Fourth Young Master Qi didn't give up, then Hua
We must fight tooth and nail to protect the safety of these goods."
"You..." The bald man, who originally had a sinister smile on his face, immediately changed his face when he heard Xu Hong's words, and revealed his fierce look. He stared at Xu Hong fiercely and stopped talking.
When Commander Zhao heard this, his impression of Xu Hong, who had a bad impression at first, changed greatly, and he nodded towards Xu Hong.
Qi Shaofeng's cold expression at this time finally softened, and he nodded slightly at Xu Hong, and immediately looked at the Mei brothers and sisters.
This pair of brothers and sisters were also extremely entangled at this time. Naturally, they were unwilling to fight to the death with the group of men in black, but if they were asked to rebel against their employer in public like the bald men, in full view of the public, they could not resist this.
face.
After all, if rumors of this kind of thing get out, the reputations of the Mei brothers and sisters will be completely ruined. Even if they can escape this disaster, my master who cares about reputation will probably take action himself.
Clean the portal.
I originally thought that the caravan escorting the Qi's merchant alliance would not cause too much trouble. Even if there was some danger, it should be able to be resolved. I did not expect to provoke such a terrifying man in black, which made the Mei brothers regret it.
.
"We two brothers and sisters, please follow the arrangements of Fourth Young Master Qi. However... However, this matter affects so many lives here, so please ask Fourth Young Master Qi to think about it carefully." The eldest brother of the Mei brothers hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.
.
The girl among the Mei siblings looked at Qi Shaofeng nervously, waiting for the employer's final decision.
Qi Shaofeng could naturally understand the meaning of the words of the Mei brothers and sisters, but his expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed softly: "If I hand over what they need, I'm afraid they will kill us to silence us.
Sir, now that things have happened, you don’t need to have any other ideas. It’s impossible for these people to let you go today, so you should be prepared to fight to the death.”
As soon as the words fell, the spiritual master-level guards in the Qi's Merchant Alliance began to surge with spiritual energy. They mobilized their magic weapons and attacked fiercely at the formation light curtain.
As for Commander Zhao and his two deputy commanders, they did not take action together. They each held magic weapons in their backhands and guarded Qi Shaofeng with a look of forbidding on their faces.
"What! Silence!" When the bald man and the Mei brothers and sisters heard this, their expressions became even uglier. They looked at the group of men in black not far away, as if they still didn't believe it.
After all, the strength of the Qi's Merchant Alliance is not weak. Under normal circumstances, since they can already obtain the treasure, who would fight to the death and lose a large number of people to kill the other party?
Unless the goods escorted by the Qi Merchant Alliance this time really contain an earth-shattering treasure.
"Hahaha, Master Qi is indeed smart. However, in order to prevent the news from leaking, you people must die today. However, if you take the initiative to hand over that thing, I can let you each choose a way to die.
Let's hit the road happily." The words spoken by the leader in black were not concealed in any way. Lin Xiao was filled with murderous intent and he waved his hand.
Immediately, the men in black behind him also used their magic weapons and slowly approached the Qi's Merchant Alliance.
