Seeing Si Qing's appearance, Song Jiang knew exactly what happened, so he sighed and said immediately.
"How about this? I have a batch of goods to be delivered to the city tomorrow. If you don't mind, just come with me. There are a lot of wild beasts and bandits on this road. It's very dangerous for you two to be alone.
.”
"But I won't be able to help you after entering the city, because I also have my work to do after entering the city. If you want to go to Nanmu Ice City, you will have to find other ways."
When Yang Yi heard this, he looked at Si Qing and then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Song."
The next morning, when the sky was dark, the caravan set off, carrying four carriages of high-quality animal skins, plus the carriages Song Jiang and others were riding in. The four carriages were all located in the middle of the caravan. As for the escorts on both sides,
He is an extremely strong man.
The men all had weapons hanging on their waists, and their eyes were sharp and serious. These men were the bodyguards responsible for protecting Song Jiang and the cargo.
Song Jiang was very considerate of the two of them, so he also rented a horse for them. The two of them rode a horse together and followed the team slowly forward.
It takes three days to go to Baicheng from here. Although there are basically no wild animals on the main road when walking, the key is that there are many bandits on this main road.
Each of those bandits came from a poor background and had an extremely miserable childhood. As for the eldest ones, they were low-level practitioners who made a living by robbing homes and blocking passing caravans. .??.
As for the caravan of the Yinbao Trading Company run by Song Jiang, they were robbed several times, but Song Jiang had a good eye. As long as they paid the money obediently, he would not do anything to them. At most, he would just give them a scolding.
Song Jiang was inevitably a little worried, and he didn't know if he would be targeted by the other party's people this time.
The journey was tiring, so we didn't talk much to conserve our energy. The first two days were peaceful, until the scorching sun shone brightly at noon on the third day.
This is only the last fifty kilometers away from Baicheng, and similarly, this is also the most dangerous place.
They need to pass through a cave to leave this area, but this cave is the favorite place for bandits to stay. They like to ambush here and rob passing caravans.
"Everyone, please be careful!"
"Always ready to fight!"
Seeing that he was about to enter the cave, Song Jiang came out of the carriage and said something to everyone, who immediately shouted "Yes!"
At this time, Yang Yi was still protecting Si Qing and following at the back of the team. After two days, Si Qing's reaction was still the same calm, as if her grandma had not died. Yang Yi could not find any trace of it on her face.
A sad expression, but until now, Si Qing has not shed a single tear.
But it is precisely because of this that Yang Yi is worried about Si Qing's condition and keeps everything in his heart, which can easily cause Si Qing to have too many negative emotions.
"Qing'er, do you want to drink some water?"
Yang Yi looked at Si Qing in front of him, and Si Qing said calmly, "No, brother Xiaoze, I'm not thirsty."
At this moment, I heard a cold shout coming from the front position.
"The caravan in front, stop for me!"
most The worrying thing still appeared. In the dim cave, several strong men wearing tattered clothes suddenly jumped out of the grass on the side with big knives. Their speed was even as fast as a cheetah.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire team became extremely tense. Looking at the fierce look on the opponent's face, they knew very well that they must have encountered bandits.
Yang Yi, who was walking at the end, naturally heard this voice, but his expression did not change at all. He just looked at Si Qing who looked indifferent in front of him, and then withdrew his gaze.
Hearing this voice, the door of the carriage was opened. Song Jiang got off the carriage, looked at the person who came, and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Brother Sanlong. I am Song Jiang from Yinbao Trading Company. Do you still recognize me?"
"
When Sanlong heard this, he also looked at Song Jiang seriously, and then laughed.
"Oh~ Boss Song, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more energetic. It's easy to say. Since we are old acquaintances, I will leave you a thousand taels of silver for your face this time. You can leave!"
Upon hearing that the other party was directly asking for a thousand taels, Song Jiang's face immediately darkened.
"If I remember correctly, it used to be five hundred taels. Why do you want so much this time?"
In the past, Song Jiang did not bargain, and just gave the money to him with a wave of his hand. After all, he could earn about two thousand taels from a escort trip, so it was not a loss.
But this time, the other party asked for a thousand taels, which was a bit unreasonable.
Hearing this, the leader Sanlong also sneered, "Boss Song has always been generous, why is he so stingy this time?"
Song Jiang didn't say anything. In fact, based on the strength of the guards he had, he could force his way through, but he would lose part of the goods. By that time, he would have lost more than just this little bit.
.
"Brother Sanlong, for the sake of you and me being old acquaintances, can't we go lower?"
Song Jiang's face looked a little ugly. He really didn't want to start a war with the opponent unless he had no choice.
"Low? Why low? This is the price! If you can't do it, go back!"
Seeing the appearance of the three dragons, Song Jiang's face became even more ugly. He really didn't intend to let them pass.
"Sanlong, if the two of us fight, it will be difficult for you, right? Do you really want to be so angry?"
"It's you Song Jiang who is so shameless! Since you said so, I still can't let you pass."
Sanlong said coldly, then his eyes fell on these carriages, and he smiled sinisterly, "I think your batch of goods is quite a lot, you can sell it for ten thousand taels, right? It's only a thousand taels."
Two, to you, is not small money?"
"But since you don't want to give it, then that's it. Brothers, come out!"
I heard Sanlong's order, and immediately, all the strong men who had been lurking in the grass sprang out, looking at Song Jiang and the others with eager eyes, as if they were looking at a prey.
The dozen or so people beside Sanlong are all cultivators with high level of cultivation. Although Song Jiang brought many people this time, there were only four or five people with high level of cultivation. In terms of number, they were not
Take advantage.
When Song Jiang saw this, his expression changed completely. He didn't expect that the other party would ambush so many people here this time. Seeing Si Qing's appearance, Song Jiang knew exactly what had happened, so he sighed and then
said.
