When the night is dark and the night wind in late autumn is blowing at its strongest, it feels like a knife is cutting your face.
A convoy appeared at the mountain pass, a total of five small and lightweight escort vehicles, which actually used high-end goods such as Jingyuan drives, and a total of five people were watching over them.
Although it was late at night, the five people still looked very careful and cautious. They did not even stay at the Old Longmen Inn. Instead, they chose to go to a remote place.
The transportation method of this batch of goods is completely different from that of the Golden Rose. As long as we can pass through this area safely tonight, there will be strong support in front of us. Once the goods are in the hands of the strong support, not even the King of Heaven can take them away.
These five people have such confidence!
After walking far away, the convoy stopped on the grass in front of a small slope.
The leading soldier sighed: "Everyone is tired, let's rest for 10 minutes and eat some solid food!"
A young swordsman in the back said, "Brother Gu, it's time to take a break. We haven't eaten dinner yet. I'm so hungry."
Brother Gu smiled and threw the canned fish and meat in the hall: "I will take care of you first, remember to leave some for everyone, Xiaoqi!"
Xiao Qi was not in a hurry to open the can, but brought the can to an older armored soldier: "Uncle Six, you eat first!"
The sixth uncle was just like Lao Li from the Eastern Dynasty. He looked very old, and his movements were not necessarily very agile. He smiled and waved his hands: "Young people, eat more. An old man like me can't get used to greasy food at night."
something.”
That's what he said, but how could others not see the kindness and concern in his eyes?
Xiao Qi glanced at Uncle Liu with emotion. He opened the lid happily and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
"Xiao Qi, slow down!" a female nanny not far away said jokingly. The nanny was not too young, and her clothes were dusty and stained with dirt. She obviously came from a long way away.
"Sister Hua, don't worry about him, that kid knows how to eat all day long!" A male mage next to Sister Hua said with a smile, "I still have a lot of inventory. When I passed by Bisha Village, I bought a lot of baked goods at the street stall at the entrance of the village.
intestinal!"
This escort team has a special feature. There are four middle-aged people and a young man. If Lao Li were here, he would see a lot of problems at a glance. This family is definitely more reliable than Mr. Lan's escort team.
Escorts often rely on wisdom, vision and experience rather than relying entirely on force, equipment and hard work.
These five people are not weak. The entrusting power behind them must not be weak either.
"Uncle Liu, you have been working as an escort for so many years, which is the most dangerous time you have ever encountered?" Xiao Qi asked curiously while eating.
Young people are always very curious.
Uncle Liu took a sip of water slowly and said with a smile: "No matter which time it is, it is the most dangerous. Because accidents happen every time, and when accidents happen, it is the most dangerous."
The elderly always like to speak in a sarcastic way, and Xiao Qi obviously doesn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Sister Hua explained with a smile: "Brother Six means that just having good skills is not enough. Those who work as escorts often face various conspiracies and traps. Thieves who rob cars often have ulterior motives. The human heart is the scariest thing."
Brother Gu came over and sat down, patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The boss asked you to deliver goods with Uncle Liu and Sister Hua just to train your vision. Don't always rush blindly, and be on guard against your opponents."
A dirty trick."
Xiao Qi nodded and said: "I know!"
"You are..." Brother Gu's expression suddenly froze, he suddenly stood up and said, "There is a situation!"
In fact, everyone stood up at this time and were secretly on guard.
Three minutes later, a convoy of seven large escort vehicles also appeared in the mountain col. They seemed to be traveling together, but they were larger, with more than thirty people accompanying them.
Sister Hua looked at Uncle Six, who nodded, meaning that these people were not a big problem.
If he thinks the problem is not big, then it really is not a big problem. Lao Jianghu, who has worked for the guild for nearly twenty years, has never seen what kind of conspiracy?
The leader of this family is also a soldier. When he passed by Brother Gu, he even said hello: "Are my friends also walking this way? Do you need help during the night rush? We are all traveling together."
This is the slang and dialect in this industry. Going late means walking at night, and being sharp means eating simple meals.
Walking at night is not only dangerous, but also consumes a lot of energy. When walking all night, you often have to stop to eat and replenish your energy. Therefore, colleagues in the industry will try their best to take care of them when they are rushing through the night.
People who work as escorts have only one opponent, and that is bandits. They can't fight each other together, right?
But before Brother Gu had time to answer him, someone shouted from behind: "Boss Zhao, take a break. I've been walking for a long time and I haven't even had dinner yet."
The large group of people behind him also looked listless and listless.
Boss Zhao sighed: "Okay, let's rest for half an hour. Let's continue after everyone has eaten and drank. The next meal will probably be in the middle of the night."
The group also stopped on the grass and started to light a fire.
After the bonfire was lit, someone actually put seven or eight fresh legs of lamb on the fire to roast, and someone nearby took out a brush and kept brushing the ingredients on the lamb legs. The lamb legs began to emit oil, and the oil fell into the fire.
"Peel off, peel off" sounded.
On a cold night in autumn, after walking all day, the fragrance wafting in the cold wind is enough to arouse anyone's appetite.
Even an old man like Uncle Liu is frowning now. He is chewing a cold steamed bun and trying not to look at the barbecue of the group of people next door.
Although the old Jianghu has the determination, the young people can't help it.
Xiao Qi has already run up to Boss Zhao: "This big brother!"
Boss Zhao turned around with a very enthusiastic expression on his face: "What can I do for you, little brother?"
Xiao Qi swallowed his saliva: "Brother, let's discuss something. Can you guys give us a leg of lamb? I... I'll pay for it."
Boss Zhao laughed loudly: "It's easy to talk, we are all in the same industry, how can I collect your money? Awen, bring me a leg of lamb."
Xiao Qi rubbed her hands: "Brother, thank you so much..."
Before he finished speaking, Brother Gu came over and said, "Wait a minute!"
Xiao Qi said: "Brother Gu..."
Brother Gu took out a small silver scimitar from his bag, took the leg of lamb and said, "It's better to be careful when you go out."
Boss Zhao's expression suddenly changed, because Brother Gu was using the knife to cut various parts of the mutton leg. He was not cutting the meat, but testing whether the leg was poisonous.
Anyway, no matter what kind of poison, there is no poison that cannot be tested with a silver knife.
"I changed my mind, I have to charge for this leg!" Boss Zhao said with a cold face.
Xiao Qi was immediately stunned.
Brother Gu smiled apologetically: "Brother, I don't mean to offend. I just think that everyone is on the road. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with being careful. I believe you can understand how much you need to charge. Please give me a price."
?”
Boss Zhao stared at him, then turned around and walked away without looking back.
After eating the fragrant roasted lamb leg, most of the fatigue on my body was immediately reduced by more than half.
But the situation next door was getting more and more lively. This group of people were having a great time roasting. Some were drinking, some were cheering, and some even took out a lot of chicken wings to roast. The smoke was rising on the grass, and the smell was simply delicious.
It can attract all the wild dogs within five miles.
At this time, Brother Gu and Uncle Liu had already noticed that something was wrong. Normally, the escort team could not be more low-key, for fear that passers-by would find out that they were betting on priceless red goods, but this group of people were shouting in an extremely high-profile manner.
Does this look like an escort? This is clearly a bonfire party.
Brother Gu stood up abruptly. As soon as he stood up, his eyes blurred and his whole body felt indescribably uncomfortable.
When I looked down again, my strength, energy, and movement speed had actually dropped by half.
Poisoned!
Brother Gu is indeed an experienced veteran!
But what if he was poisoned? When he turned around again, he saw that the faces of Uncle Six, Sister Hua, Xiao Qi, and Hai Chen all turned a terrible deathly gray color.
He suddenly turned his head, and the group of people next door finally stopped reveling, and all of them showed their weapons.
"Does my roast leg of lamb taste good?" Boss Zhao walked over with a grin.
Brother Gu suddenly realized: "The leg of lamb is not poisonous, is it poisonous in the fire?"
Boss Zhao patted a pharmacist on the shoulder: "Third son, you did a great job!"
The third son smiled and said: "Liu Liu Dashun is an old man who has been escorting this industry for 20 years. The portion is much higher. He can smell it at once, but the chronic poison mixed in the barbecue will not matter even if the king of heaven comes here."
You’ll also be poisoned.”
Uncle Liu was expressionless at the moment. He already had his hand in his hand. After twenty years of experience, he never expected that he would be fooled sometimes.
Xiao Qi roared wildly and rushed forward first.
It is impossible to describe the sound of this carnage. Thirty or forty people were crowded together, the sound of swords piercing flesh, the sound of knives cutting on bones, and the sounds of people screaming were mixed together. If you have heard that sound,
Guaranteed you will never forget it for the rest of your life.
People in the crowd kept falling down, and their heads were missing.
However, people from Xiaoqi and the others continued to die in battle. The power of poison should not be underestimated. This was no ordinary poison. The nanny's skills could only slow down the speed of the poison's corrosive properties, but could not detoxify it at all.
Five minutes later, the grassland became quiet, and Mr. Zhao said breathlessly: "These five people are really capable!"
At this moment, the grass was completely dyed red with blood, and more than thirty corpses were lying on it. Only six of Boss Zhao's people were left standing, and all of them were seriously injured.
The third son also panted and said: "Brother Zhao, it seems that they have all been killed, are you leaving?"
Boss Zhao nodded: "He promised to tow all five cars away and leave them alone."
The Heavenly King Sword wanted red goods, not human lives, so the five escort trucks containing the real goods were quickly pushed away, leaving corpses on the ground and seven empty trucks with nothing. (To be continued...)
