The driver who was driving the car was a dark-skinned young man. When he heard Wang Tiezhu's question, a look of nervousness immediately appeared on his face.
"Hui, please tell me Master Hunting Master, in addition to this mountain road, there is also a highway that can lead to Kuiyue City."
"oh?"
Wang Tiezhu frowned slightly.
"Then why not take the main road instead of taking this steep mountain road?"
The young groom looked surprised.
"Don't you know, sir? Because something happened in the Three Meridian Competition some time ago, Molinmai and Fengzhangmai paid Shenyaomai a large amount of money. In order to recover the losses, Molinmai began to think of various ways to extract money from civilians.
plunder.
No, a new ‘official tax’ has been added recently.
All caravans that take the main road must pay a huge tax! It was also because of this incident that the family decided to take the risk and take the mountain road. Although they had to recruit hunting divisions, the cost was much less than paying the tax...
"
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu's dislike for Mo Linmai escalated to a new level again, and he casually said to him: "We are practicing outside and haven't returned to Shen Yaomai for a long time, so we don't know these things...
As you just said, since something happened during the Three Meridian Competition, why should Molin Meridian and Fengzhang Meridian compensate Shenyao Meridian?"
"Well..."
The young groom thought for a while and replied.
"Molinmai compensates because it is the organizer of this competition. Now that something happened, it will naturally bear the responsibility. Fengzhangmai should also accept compensation from Molinmai.
It is said that Mo Jun, the leader of Mo Lin Mai, asked Feng Zhang Mai to hand over their leader this time. Feng Zhang Mai refused, preferring to pay the same price as Mo Lin Mai to Shen Yao Mai. In the end, Shen Yao Mai
Only under the auspices of the pulse master, Mr. Long Meng, can both sides be willing to give up."
Wang Tiezhu was shocked when he heard this, "The master of Molin Meridian wants the leader of Fengzhang Meridian? Why?"
"This little guy doesn't know..."
The young groom shook the reins and continued.
"But I heard that although the elder is a man, he is more beautiful than a woman. The reason why Granny Yinfeng, the master of Fengzhang vein, refused to hand him over is because she had an affair with that elder.
, otherwise that guy wouldn’t have taken the position of elder at such a young age..."
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! There is adultery! Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"
Seeing his reaction, the young groom looked confused and wondered, "Did I tell a joke?"
Why is this man so happy?
After a long time, Wang Tiezhu, who was laughing until his stomach hurt, slowly stopped and patted the young groom on the shoulder, "Little brother, I don't care about you, I just suddenly remembered a happy thing... Hahahaha!"
As he spoke, he laughed again. He had not been so happy for a long time since he came to this world!
"..."
The young groom was speechless for a while, stopped talking, and just drove silently.
The time soon came to evening.
After an afternoon of marching, the convoy has completely entered the mountainous area and is now stopping in a forest to rest.
Wang Tiezhu and the other three were sitting around a campfire, exchanging the intelligence they had obtained today.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps not far away.
"My lords, hunting masters, are you still used to riding in a truck today? If not, you can always get in the carriage."
Wang Tiezhu turned his head and saw that Hua Cai was walking toward the three of him carrying two food boxes.
"It turns out it's Mr. Hua. We're all used to it, so we won't bother you anymore."
Hua Cai walked up to a few people, smiled, and put up the food box in his hand, "The master said that we can't treat you badly. There is some meat in here, please enjoy it slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Qi jumped up and took the food box.
"Hahaha! Brother Qingyang, it's roast goose! There's also a chicken! There's even wine! But the wine doesn't seem to be that good, not as good as my home-brewed wine..."
Wang Tiezhu looked helpless as he looked at Shang Qi, who was flipping through the food box and mumbling something.
"Mr. Hua, please forgive me, my brother has such a temper."
Hua Cai was not angry, smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "It was a bit urgent at noon, and I forgot to ask for their names!"
Wang Tiezhu bowed his hand in return.
"My surname is Wang, forget your name. This is Brother Bai, and that kid is... Ah Qi!"
Shang Qi, who was excitedly preparing to eat, was startled when he heard this. He looked up at Wang Tiezhu and said with understanding.
"That's right! I'm Ah Qi! Haha!"
After saying that, he started to deal with the roasted goose in his hands.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. The name is just a code name. Whether you know it or not doesn't matter."
Huacai nodded, chatted with them for a few more words, then excused himself to assign candidates for the night watch and left here.
After he left, Bai Jingfeng said leisurely.
"Brother Qingyang, do you think he is doing this just to bring us food?"
"how could be?"
Wang Tiezhu sat down, snatched a goose leg from Shang Qi's hand, and started to bite it.
"Didn't they ask us our names?"
"..."
Bai Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, then he also sat down with a wry smile.
Seeing him sit down, Wang Tiezhu said leisurely.
"They left in a hurry today and didn't tell us anything. They came here tonight to stabilize us. After all, now that we are deep in the mountains and forests, if we encounter any monsters, the only ones we can rely on are the three of us..."
"Well, that's true..."
Bai Jingfeng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "But why are they leaving in a hurry? I smelled a hint of medicinal herbs from the truck. Is it possible that some dignitary in Kuiyue City is in urgent need of these medicinal herbs?"
Wang Tiezhu shook his head, "Whatever, who doesn't have any secrets yet? As long as it's not detrimental to us, the less you know, the better, so as to avoid unnecessary complications."
"This makes sense..."
Bai Jingfeng laughed and stopped worrying about the matter. He took the half-drawn roast chicken from him and started eating and drinking together.
Nothing happened all night.
At dawn the next day, the convoy set off again, still heading deep into the mountains.
As we walked towards noon, the midday sun made people feel a little confused. Hua Cai gave instructions to rest for a while and wait until it cools down before setting off.
However, just as the convoy stopped, a sudden change occurred!
A terrifying roar was heard from the forest nearby, and then a ferocious and dark tiger jumped out and attacked everyone in the convoy!
"Sixth-grade monster, Black Wind Tiger!"
Bai Jingfeng's eyes flashed, and he shouted to the panicked people: "Don't panic! We are here! Form a circle around the truck and take precautions!"
