Qing'er is quite enthusiastic about this trip. It's the first time she's traveling far away. After all, when she has memories, she has been staying in the Lu family. The most important thing is that she is with the young master this time. Even the Destruction Sword Saint who wanted to make up for her sword knowledge here could not bear to speak at this time, as if she was disturbing others.
When he walked to the city gate, a long caravan actually occupied the city gate with a long snake, while a row of patrol guards and the city gate army were checking for any prohibited items. Lu Ming glanced and found that the caravan had seventy carriages. In this area, except for the Lu family, this was a large-scale caravan.
At this time, a businessman with a slightly fat figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes was accompanied by the guards with a few people. Judging from his clothes and temperament, Lu Ming knew that he was the owner of the caravan. Not far behind this man, a team of twenty swordsmen who were guards were quietly waiting for the inspection. At such a distance, Lu Ming could also see that there was only one swordsman here, and the rest were in the realm of great swordsmen. As swordsmen who escorted escorts and transported goods all year round, this was already quite good strength. Among the five people this boss brought, there was actually a swordsman.
The soldiers inspected several carriages, but they didn't find any problems, but they refused to leave and signaled that they would continue to conduct random inspections.
The caravan owner smiled knowingly, took out several silver notes from the sleeve tube and stuffed them to the soldiers. The leader did not delay. After half-swervingly packed the silver notes, he waved his hand directly. The officers and soldiers who had already opened the carriage and rain cloth were not even interested in looking at the goods again, and they evacuated instantly.
Huh! The boss sent these plague gods away and let out a heavy breath. Although the officers and soldiers could not find anything even if they thoroughly investigated, the time for transporting the goods was delayed, and the value of the goods would be greatly reduced, and the losses were more than those.
"Just think it's a buying fortune." The boss wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and comforted himself. However, when he looked up, it happened that a team of light cavalry came, and they all had swords on them.
Swordman!
The boss's heart was lit up, but it was because these people were all swordsmen. Judging from their years of business experience and long-term perspective, making more swordsmen would be beneficial to him without any harm. Just like the twenty swordsmen I invited today, if I had not met a swordsman who had once been introduced, I was afraid that I would not be able to hire even if I had money. I don't know what happened. Recently, there was a huge shortage of swordsmen recently, and even the team of adventurers, which has always been known for their high prices, almost disappeared.
"Several friends, Xiaoke is here to disturb me. I wonder if you are leaving the city. Are you going to Fenghua City?" The boss's smile on his face was very enthusiastic and he knew how to be sensible in his words, of course, to avoid misunderstandings.
"Yes." Lu Ming said lightly: "What's wrong with you?"
"That's great." Hearing the other party's indifferent voice, the boss did not retreat, and then said enthusiastically: "That's right, my name is Lan Fengyu, I do some fur business, and I will go to Fenghua City this time. However, my caravan is a little larger and lacks some swordsmen like you. I wonder if several of them can play guest roles in the swordsman and help me transport goods. The price is easy to say."
Arrest the escort to transport goods? The Destruction Sword Saint and the Old Sword Master looked at each other. I have never experienced this kind of thing before. I didn’t expect that someone would hire people like me today, and the other party has good eyesight!
Feeling the look of the two elders looking at him, Lu Ming was speechless. It seemed that the two elders must have been named a genius when they were young. They must have never done such a thing before. He nodded appropriately and said, "Yes."
"It's so great." Lan Fengyu patted his hands together a few times and said, "Then it will take nearly two days to go to Fenghua City. There are six people in total, and the one-way escort fee is only 6,000 taels. What do you think? Just think it's just to make friends."
"Okay." Lu Ming smiled indifferently. Although this little money was nothing to him, he did not bargain with calculating. The other party seemed to be here to make friends. After all, this road has always been peaceful, and the deterrence of twenty swordsmen is enough.
"It's so great. Please wait a moment, and my man will sort out the carriage and set off." Lan Fengyu was about to leave, but turned around and said, "Of course, you have absolute **, just don't just be too far from the convoy. Let's have a good chat if you have time."
Lu Ming nodded casually. He was going to Fenghua City anyway. Since the two elders were very interested, he would be a swordsman. Moreover, Qing'er and Ouyang Luo were also eager to try it out, and they were escorting the escort with swords. After all, no one of them had ever been a swordsman.
Lan Fengyu smiled and went to work hard. The patrol soldiers had been very ruthless before. When checking, they used brute force to tear a lot of rain cloth covering the fur. At this time, they must be covered again. After all, after making the fur, they are not afraid of heat, but rain and mist.
The swordsman group not far away was a little unhappy when they saw that Boss Lan had hired such a team of people again. This seemed to be a bit indirectly showing that his strength was not good!
The strong swordsman in charge looked at Lu Ming's team very seriously, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and said to his subordinates in a low voice: "Look at what kind of people are they? The old man has become an old man, and the young man is still a yellow-haired girl. Can such a team be escorted to transport goods? It is worth 6,000 taels? It is not much for 600 taels."
"Hahaha..." The swordsmen let out a burst of unscrupulous laughter, and then whispered: "Yes, boss, they just rely on us, otherwise a wind wolf would jump out and scare them away. I just don't know if that little girl would be scared to cry!"
"Hahaha……"
The other swordsmen burst into laughter again, and Long Lin's face turned pale. What kind of swordsman do I have to be now? Now I am still ridiculed by these people...
Long Lin became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He wanted to go up to teach them a lesson, but when he saw the master Destruction Sword Saint calmly glanced at him, Long Lin stopped. If the master didn't let him go, then he wouldn't go. Anyway, this account might be directly on Lu Ming one day. When did you, a prodigal son, care about this little money?
Qing'er was also whispered and laughed loudly by those people. This very uncomfortable way of talking made her feel uncomfortable. But when she glanced at the young master beside her, she felt refreshed all over. Even those people's laughter could not be heard anymore. Qing'er's persistence was only for the young master.
"Experience life is a compulsory course that no swordsman can lack." The Destruction Sword Saint stroked his beard and said deeply: "Brother Ji and I were too obsessed with the sword realm when we were young, and we had not experienced many things ourselves. This is the flaw in life. This time we have good luck, traveling around, experiencing the life of ordinary people, and having money, why not do it?"
Qing'er curled her lips disregardlessly: "Master, you love money so much. Look how good my young master is, and you never care about how much money you have."
"Haha... Of course, we are mainly trying to experience life!" The Destruction Sword Saint laughed dryly. Who can compare with Lu Ming, a small prodigal son? In his eyes, six thousand taels and six thousand taels are just the difference between the number, and he must not even look at it. However, the other party is willing to use six thousand taels to hire people like him, and the price is fair compared to the swordsman.
In this way, Lu Ming and others were escorting the goods all the way to Fenghua City. The boss was also in a hurry and the fur was not very heavy, so the speed of travel was not slow, and he could at least reach the registration location half a day in advance.
Time passed by little by little, and it was already more than a day. I calculated that it would take another half a day to arrive at Fenghua City. The road was extremely peaceful, but the boss Lan Fengyu did not regret spending money to hire people at all. During this period, he took the initiative to come over and chatted enthusiastically several times. He was proficient in all the customs and customs of the mountains, seas, and the customs of the country. The old Sword Master and the Destruction Sword Saint were very good with him, and it could be seen that he did walk a lot.
Lu Ming also listened, but there was no legend about the Sword Treasure, so he was no longer interested. Qing'er was even more interested because the young master was interested. So she almost stuck to Lu Ming's side throughout the way, asking for a lot of knowledge about swordsmanship to fill the loopholes in his sword realm. After all, when the master destroyed the Sword Saint more often, he just looked at how he did it and then gave guidance. He mastered this faster, but his experience was too little, and many places were blank.
The young master is different. He will teach himself step by step. Qing'er thinks that she can be with the young master and learns more things, and she is secretly happy all the way.
Looking at Qing'er, who showed a silly smile on her face from time to time, Lu Ming smiled. Almost everything she learned now was limited to paper talk. She had never experienced real battles at all, and her experience in fighting was almost zero. This way, she was really worried about letting her participate in the trial. She was really worried. Teaching a few things that could save her life at critical moments was the key point.
Although Jiantang is a very strict organization and the rules are even stricter, after all, the rules are dead and cheaters are inevitable. It seems that if you have time, you have to fight her in person a few times.
Lu Ming is a killer and has a very clear understanding of the surname. In terms of the Jianzun Tomb and the unique resource materials, there will definitely be someone who has a glimmer of hope to participate, even if it is cheating.
Is killing a man violent? Some things are really worse than killing people. As a killer, Lu Ming has seen too many dark side of people.
At this time, Lu Ming found that there were more and more pedestrians on the road. There were several Jiansheng team wearing other Jianyuan costumes, and some were carrying shoulder poles and trying to exchange their specialties for silver. It seemed that he had reached the scope of Fenghua City. (To be continued.)
