In the late autumn of the twenty-fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Great Qin Dynasty in the north began to launch major operations. Emperor Ying Zhengwen was at court to give guidance and discussed with civil and military officials the plan to sweep the six countries and build the Great Wall in the north.
Soon, the general Wang Qian led an army of 100,000 people, bypassed Xichuan Dao soldiers and came to Yanguo's city. The war was about to break out!
At the same time, in Qingshan City in the south, Xie Changyuan got up early, packed his bags and walked out of the room.
He stayed at the Zhengxing Escort Agency for one night because a long-delayed escort was finally about to be sent.
In front of the gate, there were a few passers-by who got up early in the street. They were looking at the door of Zhengxing Escort Bureau and pointing and saying something.
Li Chuang and his escorts also got up early, loaded a dozen large wooden boxes into the car, tied the horses and got ready to go.
Not long after, Xie Changyuan walked out of the door. Everyone turned around, their eyes full of expectation.
"Headguard Li." It was inconvenient for Xie Changyuan to bow, so he nodded to Li Chuang.
Everyone was chatting for a while, during which the eldest son Li Yu and the second young lady Li Qing also came. Looking at their neat clothes, it was obvious that they also wanted to participate in the escort.
Counting the two of them, the Zhengxing Escort Bureau sent a total of two escort leaders, twelve escort masters, and Xie Changyuan for this trip, a total of fifteen people.
This is already the entire combat strength of the Zhengxing Escort Agency. Earlier, there were about a hundred people in the entire Escort Agency, but now they have been defeated and dispersed.
This escort trip was related to the success or failure of the escort bureau, so the Zhengxing escort bureau was all out, leaving only a few servants in the yard and the sick owner Li Chuang.
Xie Changyuan said no more, asked Li Chuang for a map, then flew on the big green bull and led the not too long escort team to set off!
"Please do everything!" Li Chuang shouted from the door of the escort agency.
.....
On the back of the ox, Xie Changyuan lowered his head and studied the map. Because he had not left the city yet, there were gradually more and more people on the street, and the team was not walking very fast.
As Zhu Heng said, Qingshan City is about two hundred miles away from the terminal Bailong City. Many places on the route on the map are marked with red crosses. After Xie Changyuan asked, he found out that these are the places where escorts were robbed before.
mark.
In addition, the map also shows that there are woods, grasslands, and the ferocious beasts inside, etc. It is also a very comprehensive map. For an outsider like him, anyone with money can buy it.
Not available.
And this is what the bodyguards of all ages have paid for with their lives.
"Look, isn't that the team from the Zhengxing Escort Bureau? How can they still come out to play escort? Isn't it already over?"
"Yes, after being treated so badly, you still dare to go out of the city to be a escort. How brave you are!"
People on the roadside were whispering, but the voices were not suppressed, and Xie Changyuan and others could hear them clearly.
Xie Changyuan put down the map and glanced at the old escort named Zhao next to him. This escort was led by this old escort leader in name. Xie Changyuan's nature was more like that of a thug.
Faced with the sarcastic comments from passers-by, Mr. Zhao was not annoyed. Instead, he kept a gentle smile on his lips, as if he had not heard anything.
Looking back, Xie Changyuan found that almost everyone in the escort team was smiling. Even Li Qing, who had the worst temper, rarely showed a Hexi smile, but the corners of his mouth were obviously twitching.
"Obvious fake smile." Xie Changyuan was convinced.
Then he asked, "Old escort, what are you laughing at?"
The whole team was laughing, which was a bit abnormal. Although he had encountered escort teams in the past and knew that they always smiled when meeting people, he still didn't know the reason behind it.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao, the head escort, explained with a smile, "Xie Shaoxia doesn't know something. We as escorts have a rule called 'three points to ensure safety.' The first rule is to smile three points on the face and be kind to others."
If you keep a humble attitude, you will save yourself a lot of trouble."
If your family escorts a escort, if all of them look fierce, how many people will be offended along the way? Therefore, it is indeed very prophetic to smile when you see someone.
Xie Changyuan nodded in approval, but he himself could not maintain a smile, but kept an expressionless face, not looking at anyone along the way.
In this way, the escort team drove out of Qingshan City in a mighty manner, heading south all the way to Bailong City!
After leaving the city, the smiles on the faces of everyone in the escort gradually faded away, replaced by a sense of vigilance. The whole team, young and old, all watched and listened in all directions, scanning the surroundings while walking forward.
After leaving Qingshan City, the muddy dirt road outside the city became full of potholes, and the wooden cart pulling goods began to bump a little. Each of these boxes weighed thousands of kilograms, and the wooden boards they were loaded on were also extremely strong. Listening to the noise inside, it seemed like something
Hard objects.
The person from the escort agency did not explain what the escort delivered, and Xie Changyuan was not that curious. He just felt that when he got close to these boxes, he could feel the temperature drop obviously, like ice cubes.
Not long after, Sun Biaotou, who was in charge of the rear of the team, rode up on his horse, whispered a few words to Old Biaotou Zhao, and then turned his horse's head and returned to his post.
Mr. Zhao's eyes became serious, and the smile on his face quietly disappeared.
"The water outside the city is deep. When we get here, we should leave quickly."
After saying this, Zhao Lao escort put his head and legs under the horse's belly and led the entire escort team to speed up.
At this time, we have already left the city for ten miles. The suburbs of the city are full of woods and there is only one avenue, which is the only way to Bailong City.
Although this place is very close to Qingshan City, it is a no-nonsense zone outside the city. The escort teams in the past also have the experience of being robbed just ten miles outside the city. Therefore, the people of Zhengxing Escort Bureau are always on alert and hope to pass through this place quickly.
A forest.
Xie Changyuan was riding a big green bull in front of the team, staring straight ahead. There were vague figures of people there, and there was also a tree trunk lying across the middle of the road. There was a cold light flickering under the scorching sun. It was obvious that everyone who came was carrying something in his hand.
Guy.
"There is indeed a thief." Mr. Zhao snorted.
If I had known this would happen, this escort would not be so easy to deliver.
"Xie Shaoxia, don't panic. I've seen this kind of scene many times. Don't do anything when you come forward later. Give them some money and see if they can be sent away. If it doesn't work, let's draw the sword again."
As an old escort, he has believed in the principle of three points to ensure safety throughout his life, and he will never draw a sword if he can solve the problem peacefully!
Five hundred steps ahead, a group of bandits in green were squatting there. The leader was a big man with a curly beard. He sat on a tree trunk, holding a simple knife in his hand, and looked at the man running in front of him playfully.
The escort team came.
"I can finally make a small fortune today" he thought to himself.
This group of people also stayed here at dawn to rob the road, but they didn't expect that business would come so soon.
While the bearded man was thinking about it, he didn't notice that a fast arrow had already shot through the air, making a sharp hissing sound as it passed through the air.
Before he could raise his head, the crossbow arrow had already penetrated his head. The bearded man rolled his eyes and fell straight up.
All the minions were shocked. Looking at the body of their king, they were immediately frightened to death.
Suddenly, there was loud shouting from the front!
"Zhengxing Escort Bureau Escort! Get out of the way!!!!"
The sound was as powerful as thunder on a clear day. A man riding a big green bull in front of him, far away from the escort team behind him, rushed towards the group of bandits!
