Wu Jian shook his head and watched the caravan and escorts pass by the city, exit Jade Buddha Pass, and head towards Xixia.
Long Chen saw Wu Jian underneath, but he didn't respond. The key to this trip was to keep it secret.
After the soldiers at the city gate inspected the goods and things, they let the caravan out.
"Jade Buddha Pass is the only place that doesn't charge any fees."
Chai Yuguan said to Long Chen, he looked like a master teaching his disciples.
Wang Bin turned around and said, "I've been working as a escort for so many years, and this is the only place that doesn't charge any fees."
Chai Yuguan said: "In the past, the Red Flame Army took them in when they were guarding them, but they stopped taking them in after the Long Family Army took over."
Wang Bin said: "Yes, the Long family army has strict discipline and the world will do business fairly. Xifeng City is now crowded with business travelers and the public security is very good."
An old escort behind him said: "It's good inside the pass, but it's not good outside the pass. Everyone, cheer up."
The caravan slowly headed west, becoming increasingly desolate on both sides.
When he reaches an intersection or there are mountains on both sides, Wang Bin will shout out the name of the escort agency. This is called calling escorts.
If there are ambushing thieves around, and they hear the name of the escort agency, they will usually give them face.
The caravan continued to move forward, and when they reached a valley, Wang Bin and the old escort stopped. Chai Yuguan's expression changed, and he turned around and said, "Be careful!"
Wang Bin rode his horse forward and shouted towards the valley: "Xinglong Escort Agency, please give me a bowl of wine, brothers!"
The old escort came up from behind and threw a heavy baggage up the mountain.
Calling escorts is not in vain. If you really encounter a barrier, you must pay for passage.
There must be money in the baggage the old escort just threw away.
Seeing that there was no movement, Wang Bin waved and was the first to move forward, with the caravan following him and bodyguards guarding him on all sides.
Long Chen watched with great interest. It was his first time seeing an escort doing escort work, and he found it a bit interesting.
The law...
As the convoy entered the valley, dozens of horse thieves suddenly rushed out from all sides and surrounded the convoy.
Chai Yuguan's face suddenly changed with fright, and he hurriedly held on to the carriage.
Long Chen patted Chai Yuguan's shoulder and signaled him not to panic.
When Wang Bin saw the horse thieves blocking his way, he was not afraid. He patted his horse and came forward, bowing to a man and saying, "I'm Wang Bin from the Xinglong Escort Bureau. I would like to borrow a road from the treasure land. Please make it convenient."
"If the wine money is not enough, we will add more."
When going out to escort, it is best not to fight, and if you can move your mouth, don't do it.
Long Chen looked carefully at the leader of the horse thieves, it was the man who said he wanted to buy sandalwood at the inn.
The leader raised his hands on the horse and said with a smile: "I know Mr. Zhang's escort, and my brothers can also walk this way."
Seeing that the horse thief was giving him face, Wang Bin said: "I guess the money for the drinks is not enough, Lao Li, please add more money!"
The old escort came up from behind, picked up another bag and threw it over.
Bangdang...
The horse thief didn't pick it up, so the baggage fell to the ground and the silver bars were scattered everywhere.
Long Chen took a look and estimated that there were 200 taels.
Including what we just said, the cost of this trip is at least 400 taels.
"Brothers are not enough yet?"
Wang Bin was a little unhappy. The insurance fee for this escort trip totaled 1,000 taels, and he paid almost half of the money for the trip, which was already the limit.
The bodyguards behind him all clenched their sword handles, ready to fight at any moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The horse thief leader chuckled and said, "Brother Wang is sincere and gave me so much, but the goods in these two carts are too valuable."
"In this way, I'll show Mr. Zhang a favor and let you and the caravan go, but keep the goods."
Wang Bin looked ugly. The most taboo thing among escorts is throwing the escorts. This will ruin the reputation of the escort agency.
"Brother, I will add another 500 taels! Please do it for your convenience!"
Wang Bin paid all the premiums, and if he added more, he would pay back.
The leader of the horse thieves chuckled and said: "Brother Wang, if you don't say good things twice, you will take away the goods and keep them!"
Wang Bin knew that there was nothing to talk about, so he didn't bother to talk anymore. He pulled out the simple knife from his waist and killed the horse thief.
The leader of the horse thieves sneered: "Seeking death!"
Wang Bin's cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Grand Master. The leader of the horse thief should be in the early stage of King's state. He is crushed in the realm. The number of people is several times greater. There is no suspense in this fight.
Wang Bin took action, and the old escort shouted: "Kill!"
The horse thieves rushed over brandishing their swords, and a fight began.
Chai Yuguan was so frightened that his legs went weak. Zheer helped him from behind while the other Xichang spies pretended to be scared.
Without Long Chen's order, they would not take action.
The leader of the horse thieves stabbed fiercely with a steel fork in his hand. Wang Bin took the knife and was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
"How dare you rob the Xinglong Escort Agency!"
Wang Bin was furious, and the leader of the horse thieves laughed and said, "I dare to rob anyone!"
The steel fork stabbed down violently, and Wang Bin raised his knife to strike...
At this time, a golden needle slipped out of Long Chen's sleeve, and with a flick of his finger, the golden needle flew out.
Wang Bin knew that the horse thief was highly cultivated and used his full strength in every move.
The Pu knife struck and the horse thief's steel fork was knocked away. Wang Bin struck again and beheaded the horse thief.
The head rolled off, and the horse thief fell to the ground with a crash, blood sputtered from his neck, and the sand on the ground was dyed red.
"Your boss is dead and you still don't surrender!"
When the old escort saw Wang Bin beheading the leader of the horse thieves, he immediately picked up the head and shouted.
The horse thief didn't expect Wang Bin to be so powerful and kill the boss in just a few rounds.
When the thieves saw it, they immediately fled in all directions.
Chai Yuguan's legs were so frightened that he was weak. Long Chen dismounted and helped him sit down on the carriage, comforting him and saying, "Uncle, don't be afraid. Mr. Wang's martial arts skills are outstanding, and the thieves have escaped."
The old escort took up the head and found that the horse thief leader had a black birthmark on the back of his neck. He was the powerful horse thief who had been rampaging outside the customs recently.
"The escort leader is so good at martial arts. He actually killed Hei Yun with one strike."
This thief had strong cultivation and a large number of men. The escort masters of several escort agencies were killed by Hei Yun.
"I killed Hei Yun?"
Wang Bin looked at the simple knife in his hand and felt puzzled. How could he kill the horse thief leader with that knife just now?
Could it be that I am gifted? Is my cultivation level greatly increased?
That must be it!
Wang Bin suddenly became so confident!
"Let's go! No one dares to stop you! Pick up the drink money. I won't pay for drinks as a escort in the future!"
Wang Binxiong walked proudly in front, with Heiyun's head hanging on the horse's head to show off.
Zhe'er was speechless and said in a low voice: "Master, this escort Wang's head is a little too loose."
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's better to be more confident."
The caravan continued westward and soon arrived at a temple surrounded by farmhouses and bells rang out from the temple.
"This is Zhenguo Temple, the second largest temple in Xixia. The abbot here is Master Deshan, the younger brother of Master Kongji."
Chai Yuguan was a Buddhist believer. When he passed Zhenguo Temple, although he did not go in to worship, he saluted respectfully on the roadside.
Wang Bin glanced at the Zhenguo Temple and said with a smile: "It's useless to worship Buddha. You only know how to collect rent. The people around are all tenants of the temple, and the monks there are richer than the officials."
Chai Yuguan laughed and did not refute.
After walking west for a few days, we finally arrived at Xingqing City.
A city is located on a somewhat barren land. There is green grass around it, but not much.
"finally reached!"
Chai Yuguan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the task was half completed.
He didn't know what Long Chen wanted to do, and he didn't want to know. He just wanted to finish this trip and get his son back.
