In the backyard of the town inn, under the dim firelight, General Lin uncovered the oil cloth on the outer layer of the carriage, revealing the overlapping package inside, and reached out from the bottom to put the two largest ones on the ground.

"It's all here, there are 60 kilograms of salt and 40 kilograms of tea."

Under the fire, President Lin's face turned a little red. Although he had been in the world for decades and had been smooth enough, it was indeed the first time to carry private salt tea in the mate goods, and this was undoubtedly a considerable distance from smooth. He was still a duty small escort agency.

"Well, even if you want to be safe, you can only take action with the second-department dealer, it will be worth at least 1,000 taels of silver. No wonder President Lin would rather take the shortcut to Jizhou in the small path. These things can't be hidden from the anti-smuggling officers and soldiers on the waterway." Xiao Xia nodded at the parcel on the ground. Even though he had never done such a thing as selling smuggling goods, he had heard of the price of the two packs of things, and he could see the price of these two packs at a glance.

"Dad, why...you really do this? If you are discovered, won't the escort agency be over?" Lin Xiaoyan, who was beside her, looked pale and even her voice was trembling.

"You really don't know the importance of being a father. Are you willing to do these things? But if you don't expect to sell these tea and salt, how long can the escort agency last? Over the years, escorts are getting more and more difficult and business is getting fewer and fewer. You know. Even your salary is still owed to Wang Qiang, Zhang Si and others. They have been staying in the escort agency because of their many years of friendship. But what is the way to do this? If something goes wrong, they will have to pay their settlement fee..."

The voice of President Lin's head was full of bitterness and aging. The firelight made the gray hair on his head and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes very obvious. The expression of the President's head now is no different from that of an old farmer who had a disaster and a bad harvest. It is not easy to make a living in the world. It is a waste of money to spend money on fresh clothes and frown, and they are willing to revenge and cut their heads and drink. After all, those are just a very small number of people, or they are simply the simple imaginations of the young people. The truth is always much more unbearable than imagination.

"Now, Mr. Lin can only ask Master Xia for help. Master Xia is a great master, and Mr. Lin and the Youde Escort Agency will never forget it." Mr. Lin bowed deeply to Xiao Xia with his head and fist.

"Mr. Lin's escort leader doesn't have to take it too seriously. I also expect Mr. Lin to sell these safely and pay me the talisman silver money." Xiao Xia smiled and shook his head. Of course, he didn't care too much about the hundreds of taels of silver, but speaking naturally can make the father and daughter more at ease.

I found an inconspicuous place by the wall not far away. Xiao Xia took out a third-grade sand-dividing talisman from the talisman bag and pressed it on the ground. The fire flashed, and the talisman immediately turned into ashes. Then he picked up the two large bags of tea and salt and placed it there. The tea and salt slowly sank into the ground like a quicksand and swamp. Later, the ground returned to its original state, but it raised a little, and even the inn servants who walked here every day could not see anything unusual.

"Just go and deliver the escort goods first. After this matter is over, make sure no one pays attention to you. Then contact the buyer in Baishi City, and then take it out quietly and sell it. After all, I have retired from Liuzi Camp. If those officers and soldiers are serious, they may not be able to scare them." Xiao Xia stood up and clapped his hands, looked at the package under the oilcloth. After thinking about it, he still asked President Lin's escort leader: "It's over, so I'll forgive me for asking too much. Please don't be surprised by Lin's escorts. Is there anything strange about the goods you escort?"

President Lin didn't seem to be surprised by his problem. He sighed, walked up and asked several packages and a large wooden box from the carriage. He opened it in front of Xiaoxia, then took out a document from his underwear and handed it to Xiaoxia and said, "There are many twists and turns along the way. I know that Master Xia must have suspicion in his heart. In fact, I am the same, but it's useless to just say it, so please Master Xia come and take a look."

"Dad!" Lin Xiaoyan also screamed in shock by President Lin.

Xiao Xia was a little surprised. According to the rules, even ordinary escorts in the escort agency cannot be checked. It seems that the head of General Lin also felt that there was something strange about it, and now he regarded him as the only reliable reliance. I think that this private salt tea product that is more than 100 kilograms of salt tea that are related to the survival of the escort agency can only ask for help, and there is nothing to be conservative in other details.

Since everyone else has achieved this point, Xiao Xia is not pretentious and takes the order and looks at it.

There is nothing strange about the order of goods and goods. It is just a few bags of pearls, two corals, and about ten pieces of Suzhou Yunjin, some expensive medicinal materials and several gems that are hard to see in the north. Xiao Xia also checked them one by one. His eyesight is not bad, and he can also see that there is no problem with these vacancies themselves. It is exactly the same as what is written on the document, so there is nothing strange about it.

But there is nothing strange about this, it is strange enough. These things themselves are worth about 10,000 taels of silver, and they can indeed be considered a red item. But they will never attract so many horse thieves to intercept them along the way, and even the officers and soldiers seemed to have no intention of this dart.

"The goods are indeed fine. Then... Could it be that something happened to the owner of the goods? At least the news has indeed leaked out."

"This... we naturally cannot investigate the identity and origin of the goods owner. I heard that he is a businessman from Yangzhou. However, it should be fine if we have the owner of our county town, and the words and accents are indeed Yangzhou. As for the leak of this news, it is inevitable for the red goods, but this time it is indeed a bit outrageous..."

"By the way, the owner seems a little strange." Lin Xiaoyan, who was standing beside her, suddenly spoke. Seeing Xiao Xia and President Lin's head looking at him, she was a little panicked and said hesitantly: "I, I... I smell a strange stench on him."

It's late at night.

The escort goods have been repacked, and the other three escorts and General Lin's head of the escort were carried into the room together, taking turns to watch all night. The others had already rested. After sleeping in the open for more than ten days, they were worried all the way. These men from the world were both injured and tired, so they finally got to the town and could sleep peacefully. Many people almost just sat on the edge of the bed and snoring in their mouths before they could lie down.

Although Xiao Xia was still tired, it was much better than those yard men. At least he was not that nervous. When he was in Liuziying, he even learned to sleep immediately and stand. So he still slept soundly when he should sleep along the way. He was still thinking about this strange dark dart that seemed to be nothing strange.

Of course, the previous negotiations with Mr. Lin’s father and daughter did not come to any results. Perhaps Lin Xiaoyan, as a girl, has a keen intuition about something wrong, but it does not mean anything that has a odor on her body. There are many people with a odor on her body, maybe it is a body odor. Maybe she likes to eat some weird foods, maybe she hasn’t taken a bath for a long time, for example, Xiaoxia herself often has a odor. This is really nothing strange.

But there must be something strange about this escort. Not only those horse thieves and officers and soldiers. Xiao Xia himself also had a kind of intuition. Although he was not a woman, his intuition was also very accurate.

When you can’t figure it out, you should ask someone to discuss it. But what if you still don’t understand it?

Of course, I'll discuss it differently.

So Xiaoxia did not go back to her room to sleep, but came to the door of a room on the second floor of the inn. He didn't knock on the door, but just pushed the door open and walked in.

"Just come at this time? I almost fell asleep." The young swordsman sitting in front of the bed was not surprised at all. As if he had known that he would come, the oil lamp on the table was also lit, reflecting his blood-stained eyes.

"Oh? Do you know I'll come?" Xiao Xia asked with a smile.

"Go intuition." Tang Qingxiao smiled. Even though he was so tired and haggard, his smile was still as bright as a light on the blade.

"Well. I didn't have a chance to have a good chat with you all the way, and I just couldn't figure out something. So I came to you while everyone else was sleeping and saw what you thought." Xiao Xia thought for a while and asked, "What do you think is strange about this dart?"

"So you're wondering about this?" Tang Qingxiao was slightly stunned, then smiled. "Work labor and work hard. Thank you so much along the way."

"I have always been a curious person." Xiao Xia shrugged. "But aren't you surprised that this dart will attract so many horse thieves?"

"Of course it's strange. I killed ninety-six horse thieves along the way." Tang Qing chuckled and looked at the flames on the oil lamp on the table. The blood in the phoenix eyes seemed to be thicker. "I never thought I would kill so many people. A few years ago, I vomited for two days after killing the four robbers. I didn't expect that until now, I felt that those horse thieves were no different from the wooden stakes sent. But at night I still couldn't sleep well, and when I closed my eyes, I was covered in blood and dead people."

"......It's like this in the world." Xiao Xia sighed. The feeling of killing is really bad. He was not much better when he killed someone for the first time. Of course, some heroes who are brave or slow by nature do not need to pass this level, and they even feel exciting. But Xiao Xia thinks that they are either stupid or crazy.

Xiao Xia thought about it and said according to his own experience: "You must know that they are actually planning to kill people at any time or be killed at any time, and they will feel much better. If there are more horse thieves who die, there will be no need to die in other places."

"Is this true..." Tang Qingxiao closed her eyes, was silent for a while, then let out a long breath, opened her eyes and smiled. "It seems that it is indeed a little better."

"Then... have you noticed something weird about this dart?"

"Strange..." Tang Qing chuckled and shook her head. "No. I don't take wards too many times. There are also ward pickups and delivery. They have always been handled by President Lin and Xiaoyan, who are in charge of delivery. I don't know."

"Is this true?" Xiao Xia touched her head, and it seemed that she couldn't discuss anything here. "Well... but fortunately, there shouldn't be any more horse thieves. I'll be able to arrive in Baishi City in three or four days. Once the mate is handed over, it doesn't matter if there is any weirdness..."

Tang Qingxiao suddenly became slightly stunned at this time, then raised his hand and raised his fingers.

Xiao Xia was slightly shocked when she saw it, and immediately shut up, slowly moved to the wall, and closed her breathing. Not long after, he also heard a subtle step moving closer toward this place.

The steps were deliberately light and slowly. If it weren't for the quietness of the inn, Xiao Xia could hardly hear it. He touched the talisman bag on his waist with his hand, looked at Tang Qingxia, but saw Tang Qingxia make a reassuring gesture to him.

"Ah Xiao, aren't you asleep yet?" A female voice sounded softly outside the door. It was Lin Xiaoyan's voice.

"Is it Xiaoyan? I haven't slept yet. What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Tang Qingxia answered while spreading his hands to Xiaoxia, with the expression on his face slightly awkward.

Xiao Xia was also slightly embarrassed. Others in the escort agency didn't know his relationship with Tang Qingxiao. They didn't even say much along the way, so it's hard to explain why he was here in the middle of the night.

At this time, the invisibility talisman would be a little louder. Xiao Xia turned around and looked at it. There seemed to be no place to hide in the inn room, except under the bed.

"Ah Xiao. Can I come in? I have something to come to you." Lin Xiaoyan asked outside.

"Ah, wait...I'm wearing clothes." Tang Qingxia exchanged glances with Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia sighed inwardly, and lie down and crawled under the bed. Then Tang Qingxia walked over and opened the door.

"Ah Xiao. I can't sleep. I'm scared." The door opened and Lin Xiaoyan walked in. The voice was soft, soft, as thin as a mosquito. "Would you sleep with me?"

"Oh? Ah?" Tang Qing's chuckling voice was completely stunned. The expression on his face could be heard.

Xiao Xia, under the bed, couldn't help but sigh again. Six years ago, he was hiding under the bed and listening to Tang Qingxiao pretending to be a bride. Now in the past six years, are you going to listen to him being the groom? (To be continued...)
