After collecting the bodies of several people, the convoy had already been delayed here for a long time. The old man surnamed Li glanced at Song An and the other group of people, his eyes were a little cold, but he didn't say anything.
When they came out to do business, they had expected to encounter these things, but Song An and others really didn't help, and he became more and more unfamiliar with Song An and others.
Even the little girl stopped paying attention to the affairs of Song An and the others. She seemed to be frightened and did not dare to take a step away from the woman.
"Botou Li, it seems that this road is completely dead. Do you want to continue?" The escort leader had a hint of helplessness on his face. They have been traveling escorts all year round, and the most powerful bandits they usually encounter are no more than this. However,
This time we encountered such a situation when we first entered the mountains. It was obvious that we would only encounter more powerful bandits later on.
If they keep going, they may all die here this time.
He had already retreated in his heart and did not want to continue this business trip!
However, because they took over the job of the old man surnamed Li, unless they no longer wanted to be escorts, they could not leave until the old man surnamed Li said he wanted to leave.
At this time, the old man surnamed Li took out a bottle of wine and started drinking it. Why didn't he know the dangers of this business trip, especially when there was his granddaughter in the team? Who was he really competing against?
I don't want to continue walking.
However, he had to leave because someone was forcing him to leave. Not only was he going to die, but everyone who came out this time was going to die.
"Since you've come here, there's no way you can give up halfway!" The old man surnamed Li glanced at the four mysterious people, and finally said helplessly.
Seeing this, the leader of the bodyguards could only smile helplessly, sigh softly and continue to be on guard.
The caravan continued to move forward and did not dare to stop until the evening. It was not until late in the night that everyone felt a little tired and then they stopped.
"There should be no bandits in this place. Let's take a rest!" The old man surnamed Li was a little tired and thrust the torch in his hand into the ground and found a safe place for everyone to rest.
Song An didn't have any objections to this. During the day, Song An thought that the other party would retreat and give up the business trip, but unexpectedly, these people, knowing that they couldn't do anything, actually went to Xiling bravely. Song An had already felt it.
Something is wrong.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Song An asked Chang Yuchun and Zuo Hu.
"Yes!" Zuo Hu nodded, and then the faint firelight reflected Zuo Hu's face. Even in this situation, Zuo Hu's charm could not be concealed.
"Tell me about it!" But Song An is not in the mood to appreciate this beauty now.
"When we met the second wave of bandits during the day, the old man surnamed Li had obviously given up. But then the other party seemed to subconsciously look at the four people over there. Seeing that they had no reaction, the old man surnamed Li gave up.
Thoughts, tell everyone to keep moving forward!" Zuo Hu said with a slightly gloomy face.
"You mean that this caravan is not in the hands of the old man surnamed Li, but in the hands of those four people?" Song An frowned and had to admire Zuo Hu's background in Dali Temple. Regarding this, he
I really didn't pay attention.
"Didn't you notice that little girl?"
"Businessmen are going to encounter bandits. Who would bring such a young child with them!" Zuo Hu's face darkened and he revealed the key evidence. When he heard this, Song An also felt that this matter was possible.
It's not as easy as Song An thought.
"I understand!" Song An nodded.
"You stay here and keep an eye on those four guys. If anything happens, take them down directly. I'll go meet the old man named Li!" A smile appeared on Song An's face, and then he stood up and walked toward Li.
The old man and others walked over to the fire.
When Song An moved, the four people's bodies swayed slightly, and their eyes instantly focused on Song An.
"I'm sorry to bother you. It's not that I want to disturb you. It's just that we didn't bring much food and water this time. There's not much left now, so I want to buy some from you..." Song An had a look of helplessness on his face.
, it seems to be true.
The little girl looked at Song An, and there was obviously a hint of indifference on her face. She just looked at Song An and stopped paying attention. This was partly because she had not recovered her breath after seeing the dead person.
The old man surnamed Li took one look and was about to ask his servants to get some for Song An. However, when he saw Song An's face, he changed his mind and stood up in person.
"Then come with me!"
Song An nodded, and then followed the old man surnamed Li to a carriage located relatively far away. Everything seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, he found that the carriage was blocking the two of them.
Because Song An had no intention of covering up this time, and his voice was very loud, even the four of them knew clearly what Song An was going to do, so the four of them didn't pay too much attention to Song An.
Next to the carriage, the old man surnamed Li asked in a deep voice while taking some things and water from the carriage.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Smart, you don't have much time. Are you being restrained by those four people to do business?"
The expression of the old man surnamed Li changed again and again. Apparently he didn't expect Song An to say such words. He was immersed in it for a while before speaking.
"I know you are not an ordinary person, but you still don't get involved in this matter. Those four people are not something you can mess with!"
"We can judge by ourselves whether we can offend them. What I want to know now is whether the four of them are from Xiling!" Seeing that the words had reached this point, Song An did not intend to continue to go around in circles and asked directly.
The old man surnamed Li shrank his pupils when he heard this. He was obviously shocked by Song An's words, but he was not sure who Song An was, so he chose not to speak. Once he made a wrong bet, what if Song An and that person
If four people live together for a while, they will all die.
Seeing the old man being so cautious, Song An showed a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Don't worry, I am the one sent by Governor Liu to investigate this matter. We have been keeping an eye on the four of them for a long time. If you don't tell me, I can only kill you and all of you as treason!" Song An's expression changed.
He sank, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. He couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise the other party should really attract attention.
The face of the old man surnamed Li changed. He never expected that Song An was sent by the Liuzhou Prefect, but when he thought about how suddenly Song An and the other three were sent in, and that his good friend did seem to have some relationship with the Liuzhou Prefect,
For a moment, the old man surnamed Li actually believed Song An's words.
After struggling so hard in his heart, the old man surnamed Li finally let out a long sigh and spoke.
"Okay, I'll say it!"
…
"They seem to have been gone for a long time!" Seeing that Song An didn't come back for a long time, a man in black looked gloomy and felt something was wrong. He walked out just as he was about to check on Song An.
"I said you, old man, are hiding good wine and still don't sell it to me. Are you doing business?"
