The jade elephant suddenly stopped, and a gust of wind suddenly covered the escort team with billowing yellow dust.
At the same time, Niu Xiaosheng, who was originally sitting on the back of the jade elephant, also woke up from his trance due to a tug of inertia. If the little jade elephant hadn't wrapped its trunk around his body in time, he would have been thrown away by the strong inertia.
.
He opened his eyes, and what he saw was the sky full of smoke and dust, and bursts of coughing.
Soon, the dust was dispersed, and Niu Xiaosheng could clearly see the situation in front of him. It was obvious that the little jade elephant stopped in order not to run into the escort team in front of him.
"Good job."
Niu Xiaosheng patted Jade Elephant's forehead, then stood up, cupped his hands and said below: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and disturbed you all, I hope you'll forgive me!"
"Are you a disciple of Dao Yigong?"
Someone recognized Niu Xiaosheng's clothes. The Weiyuan Escort Agency was quite famous in this area. They traveled all over the country and it was natural that they would not fail to recognize the clothes of Daoyigong.
"That's right."
Niu Xiaosheng nodded and asked the little jade elephant to get out of the way, preparing to let the escort team pass.
"Liu Yuan, the chief escort of Weiyuan Escort Bureau, may I ask if you are planning to go to Wuyang County?"
Liu Yuan came over with several bodyguards and said, cupping his hands.
"Wuyang County?"
Niu Xiaosheng took out the map from his pocket, opened it, looked at it, and quickly found the location of Wuyang County. If he continued walking along the official road, he would pass by there, so he replied: "I should pass by there."
According to the speed of the jade elephant, it will arrive there before dark.
Hearing this, Liu Yuan's face showed a hint of joy, "Can you help us bring a few people to Wuyang County? We can pay the reward."
After hearing this, Niu Xiaosheng glanced at the escort team and immediately understood that the escort team must have been attacked by a monster and was not going to continue walking down.
He thought for a while, if he took a few people along with him, it really wouldn't be a problem. After all, he was also along the way, and he could do his best, but he was afraid that the little jade elephant wouldn't be willing. This guy had a very arrogant temper, but not everyone could ride on its back.
"Little friend, we have no choice. We don't know what happened in the past two nights. The monsters in the forest seemed to be crazy and came out to attack us. Many brothers were injured, and some were seriously injured.
, please show mercy and help us."
Liu Yuan asked someone to bring over a brocade box, open it, and bow to Niu Xiaosheng.
Inside the brocade box is a yellowed book with a few words "True Explanation of Alchemy" written on it.
"I got this book by chance. There is also an alchemy furnace in Wuyang County. As long as you send someone to it, you can pick it up directly from my escort agency."
"Can you let me take a look?"
Niu Xiaosheng asked.
Although he has not learned alchemy, if the content in it is true, this book will indeed be of great use to him.
"no problem."
Liu Yuan said, and was about to take the box over, but found that the book inside the box had floated up and fell into the hands of the man riding the elephant. His pupils shrank slightly, and he was greatly surprised. He did not expect this Yan-jawed tiger.
The tall man with a beard is actually a Third Realm Soul Cultivator! It’s true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
Niu Xiaosheng opened the book and looked at it. It contained some tips on alchemy and some prescriptions. It didn't look like they were fake, so he closed the book and started communicating with the jade elephant who sat down.
Although he was very reluctant, Yu Xiang did not refuse Niu Xiaosheng's request.
"Okay, let your people come over."
Niu Xiaosheng said.
Hearing this, Liu Yuan was immediately overjoyed and quickly arranged for manpower to bring over the seriously injured bodyguards.
The little jade elephant was now about ten feet tall, with a body length of more than two feet. It was more than enough to accommodate ten people on its back. After the four seriously injured bodyguards went up and saw that there were so many free spaces, many people became interested.
"Aqi, you go up too, take care of those brothers, and when you get to Wuyang County, give the alchemy furnace in my room to my benefactor!"
Liu Yuan's eyes moved and he said to his son beside him.
"Dad, how can I, a grown man, take care of others? Let my little sister do it."
Liu Qi turned around and pushed her sister Liu Yun behind her to the front.
Liu Yuan was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, Ayun, come up quickly."
"Chief escort, Ayun is a girl taking care of several grown men. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. Otherwise, let me follow you."
A man volunteered himself and was about to climb on the jade elephant, but Liu Qi stepped forward and pulled him back, "Come back here."
After the man was pulled down, he knelt directly in front of Liu Yuan and said, "Chief escort, for the sake of me working for you for so many years, please show mercy. I am the only male in the family.
If something happens, how will the whole family survive?"
As soon as these words came out, a few more people ran out of the team, and they all knelt down and begged, hoping that Liu Yuan would let them leave first.
"You, how could you do this?"
Liu Qi's face was full of anger, "My father treats you well. Now is the time for everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties. How can you only think about yourself? If you leave, what will happen to the remaining people?"
"Young escort master, of course you are not afraid because the chief escort is protecting you, but we are different. In just two nights, more than a dozen escorts died. From here we go back to Wuyang County. According to our itinerary, we must at least go
In two days, who can guarantee that we can survive until then?"
"That's right, and haven't you noticed that the strength of the monsters is getting stronger day by day? We just want to make a living, and we have never thought about risking our lives. Anyway, there are so many free spaces on the elephant's back. You guys
If you don’t want to leave, why don’t you let us go?”
The escort team that had been united last night to resist the attack of the monsters was now on the verge of falling apart.
Liu Yuan's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally said helplessly: "You want to leave, I won't force you, but it depends on whether you agree or not."
Before Niu Xiaosheng could speak, the little jade elephant had already flicked its nose and swept away a man who was about to sneak onto its back, and roared angrily.
Niu Xiaosheng comforted the little jade elephant and said, "Chief escort, you also saw it, my partner is going to be angry."
Liu Yuan apologized to Niu Xiaosheng with his hands in front of him, then his face darkened, and he said to the men around him: "Okay, come back to the team. If anyone comes out again, don't blame me for being unkind."
Afterwards, the escort team leaned on the roadside one after another, making way for the little jade elephant to pass.
"Dad, brother, you must take care of yourself!"
On the back of the jade elephant, Liu Yun shouted with tears on her face.
"The chief escort, and everyone else, we are waiting for your return in Wuyang County."
Several seriously injured people also struggled to speak.
"Wait a moment!"
Just when the little jade elephant passed through the escort team and was about to leave, a person shouted hurriedly.
