Hearing Edward's agreement, Xuan Ming was very happy, and even looked at this fat body and felt a little cute.
After bidding farewell to Li Changtian, Xuan Ming walked back. It is estimated that after such a long time, Song Ziyan and the others should be almost ready.
When he returned to the restaurant, he saw that just as Xuan Ming expected, Song Ziyan and Hades had returned. After telling them that they would leave tomorrow, Xuan Ming returned to his room and thought about everything today.
Xuan Ming always felt that something was wrong with some of those people, but Xuan Ming couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. After thinking for a long time, Xuan Ming didn't figure it out, and finally stopped thinking about it. He didn't care about his own affairs anyway, he was just along the way.
That’s all.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day, the day of departure.
Xuan Ming and the others got up early that day. After tidying up a little, Xuan Ming took Song Ziyan to the yard where they were yesterday. As for Hades, he had already gone to catch up on his sleep in Xuan Ming's arms.
There were already many people at this time. When Xuan Ming showed up with Song Ziyan, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. After all, beauties attract attention everywhere, let alone a beauty of Song Ziyan's level.
However, when everyone saw Xuan Ming next to Song Ziyan, they all wisely did nothing. Not everyone did, at least Xuan Ming saw a few people rolling their eyes.
Xuan Ming didn't care at all about this, he just slowly walked aside with Song Ziyan and waited quietly.
At this time, Li Changtian walked towards Xuan Ming, greeted Xuan Ming, and looked at Xuan Ming and Song Ziyan with ambiguous eyes.
Xuan Ming knew that Li Changtian had misunderstood as soon as he saw Li Changtian's face, and quickly explained: "This is my friend, Song Ziyan." Then, he said to Song Ziyan, who was already blushing with shame: "Ziyan, this is Brother Li."
"Hello, Brother Li." After hearing Xuan Ming's introduction, Song Ziyan quickly stood up and said hello to Li Changtian. Li Changtian was a little flustered and quickly waved his hand to indicate no need.
At this moment, Edward came over and waved to everyone here, indicating to follow him.
Following Edward, after walking a short distance, he saw a huge motorcade parked on the street. Xuan Ming knew that this was the cargo that his group wanted to escort.
As expected, when Edward told everyone that this was his cargo, everyone acted calmly. After all, they had guessed it. Then it was time for Edward to assign tasks to everyone.
The goods in the front are naturally related to the Fire Rose Mercenary Group. The stragglers like them are naturally the ones in the back. Perhaps due to fate, Li Changtian happened to be assigned to the same group as Xuan Ming, plus Song Ziyan who he brought with him
, Xuan Ming’s group is made up of three people.
After the tasks were assigned, following Edward's order, the team began to set off, heading out of the city in a mighty manner, raising waves of dust.

There happens to be a forest at a place that must be passed from the Adventurer City to the Purple City. This forest is not big, but it is very famous because it is the sphere of influence of a group called the Gale Thieves.
Speaking of the Gale Bandits, they are famous, especially for the caravans traveling between the Purple City and the City of Adventurers.
At this time, in a cottage deep in the forest, a strong man with a beard was holding a coquettish and beautiful young woman in his arms, drinking a small drink leisurely.
At this time, a skinny figure ran in. Looking at the coquettish and beautiful young woman, she swallowed hard, suppressed the charm in her heart, and said to the bearded man: "Captain, our people have already found out.
, the goods from Edward's caravan will arrive soon, escorted by the Fire Rose Mercenary Group, and our people will also sneak in."
"Oh?" The bearded man frowned when he heard this. When he heard about the Fire Rose Mercenary Group, he suddenly became unhappy. This Fire Rose Mercenary Group has repeatedly ruined their good deeds. It seems that this time they will give them a profound punishment.
After teaching him a lesson, maybe that girl Alice will also fall into his arms.
Thinking of Alice's saintly face, hot figure, and beard, I felt a little uncontrollably excited. I immediately let go of this beautiful woman and started walking back and forth in the hall.
After a while, the bearded man stopped and turned back to the skinny man and asked: "Where are they now?"
The man quickly replied: "According to what the internal officer said, I estimate that they will arrive at Gale Ridge in another hour."
Hearing this, the bearded man touched his nose: "Have everything been arranged?"
"Don't worry, Captain, everything has been arranged."
When the bearded man said this, he nodded immediately and said, "Well, let's go over and have a look." After that, he walked out.

After a morning's trek, Edward's caravan came to a forest. At this time, Xuan Ming saw that everyone's eyes became cautious, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Looking at Li Changtian who also became serious, Xuan Ming was confused.
asked: "Brother Li, what's wrong?"
Li Changtian looked at Xuan Ming's confused look and patiently explained to Xuan Ming. After hearing this, Xuan Ming understood clearly that there was a criminal gang here that specialized in robbing the merchants.
Seeing that these people were all on guard, Xuan Ming also got out of the car and followed the others slowly forward.
After a while, he entered the woods. When Xuan Ming saw the woods, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This criminal gang really knows how to choose a place. This woods is an excellent ambush location.
At this time, he suddenly remembered a whistle in front of him, and then there was a rustling sound in the surrounding grass. Li Changtian secretly thought it was not good, and quickly pulled Xuan Ming to their carriage, and told Song Ziyan in the car not to
Come down.
Looking at Li Changtian's expression, Xuan Ming knew that these criminal gangs were about to show up.
As soon as Xuan Ming's thoughts came out, countless figures suddenly emerged from the surrounding grass, and actually surrounded the entire caravan.
Looking at the number of people, even Xuan Ming secretly smacked his lips. There were at least a few thousand people. Seeing this, Xuan Ming couldn't help but have a certain understanding of the criminal gangs in this world. How could this be a gang? It was clearly an army.
.
At this time, a big man with a beard stood up first, staring straight at Alice standing in front, with a hint of lust in his eyes, and said to Alice: "Captain Alice, it's been a long time."
