"The employer this time is really mysterious. He actually made us wait here for such a long time. And I heard that this time he was going to escort their group to Xichu. From here to Xichu, it's not a long journey.
Short." Datou was already a little impatient with the waiting, and after staying there for a long time, he felt uncomfortable.
The bald man then laughed and said, "No, I've been waiting here for more than half a month. Although it's a good thing to sleep with your feet up and get money, I still feel like I'm getting moldy."
Shu Haotian smiled clearly and said: "This time the employer has been delayed, but since we have taken over the task, naturally we cannot be careless. There are more than two hundred people here, and other brothers are in other places.
We are escorting the employer’s convoy to the capital of Western Chu. The journey from here is relatively long, and even if I don’t tell you the danger, I’m afraid everyone knows it.”
"I know. If I didn't know that the task was difficult, why would I ask you, Brother Haotian, to lead the team?" Someone immediately started cheering.
"To be honest, I am disgusted by the canyons and forest sections that need to be passed when going from North Vietnam to Xichu!"
"That's why it's difficult. The past month or so was just for your kid to fatten up and wait for the road."
"Go, I'm so skilled and you're still nagging me!"
...A group of people suddenly became noisy. The atmosphere in the mercenary group has always been relatively casual and relaxed, so everyone spoke without any scruples at this time. It felt like they could say whatever they wanted.
Shu Haotian reached out and pressed his palms, and everyone who was noisy immediately fell silent.
Shu Jingrong raised her eyebrows and smiled. Sure enough, her eldest brother was still very authoritative. Among this group of people, although he didn't seem to care much about the haves and have-nots, when it came to serious matters, everyone would subconsciously respect him.
.
Shu Haotian said: "You all know it. You guys will follow me to the city gate later to pick up people. It will be there in an hour! When we set out for Xichu from here, we will definitely have to pass through the Xianxian Gorge.
Local bandits and some scattered warriors took advantage of the opportunity to take action, so we must work hard to prevent any problems."
"Later, after I receive the employer and his party, I will discuss with them and arrange the subsequent deployment. We will be leaving in the next two days. Each and every wolf cub has tightened his skin.
Don’t let me off the hook then!”
"That's definitely not possible! Don't worry, Brother Haotian!" Datou was almost the first to jump up and respond.
At dusk, a convoy of about ten people drove slowly towards the city gate, and judging from the looks of those people, they were probably the ones they were waiting for.
Shu Jingrong looked at the crowd in the motorcade, and some of them seemed familiar.
"Brother, are they them? Who are they? High-ranking officials from Xichu?" Shu Jingrong lowered her voice, her eyes wandering around the motorcade in front of her with curiosity.
Shu Haotian rubbed her head and said with a smile: "We want to keep the identity of the employer secret, so don't ask. You can just watch quietly later!"
"Oh, okay, I'll definitely be good!"
Shu Jingrong pulled He Lianying, who was about to come, and retreated to stand behind Shu Haotian. Even though he was his brother, but now they were on a mission. They stood behind Shu Haotian to highlight his identity as the leader.
