"That's up to President Gu. My main task is to protect the caravan and train new recruits. The rest is not under my control."
Tang Jiajun nodded and looked at Gu Jihuai. Seeing this, he also said straight to the point.
"I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and I brought a caravan here, so it must be for business.
The mayor gave me two tasks. First, open up trade routes in the territories along the way, find out their special products and needs, and carry out targeted trade later. This task was completed on the way.
But one of the tasks was related to City Lord Tang.
First, deliver the transported resources to you.
Then I’ll ask you to collect some materials and treasures in Chang’an.”
After Gu Jihuai finished speaking, he handed him a list. Tang Jiajun opened it and was a little surprised.
"So many? We can't handle this in a short time."
"City Lord Tang misunderstood. I'm not taking it back this time. In fact, I'm not strictly required to bring anything back when I go back. The main thing is to bring the list here and feel the way. You can collect it slowly."
Hearing this, Tang Jiajun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"If that's the case, it's no problem. I will do my best to collect it."
"Okay, I'm waiting for the good news from Lord Tang. I hope I can bring back a batch of supplies on the list when I come next time."
"Next time? Are you leaving now?"
"Well, that's about it. We'll leave after a day of repairs. There are still a lot of territories to cover on the way. Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. I don't dare to waste time."
After a few more pleasantries, Gu Jihuai left, and Tang Jiajun turned to look at Ye Xiu.
"Ye Xiu, my lord, did he bring me anything?"
"My lord asked me to tell you.
You are stationed in Chang'an City, and as Ning'an's window to communicate with the outside world, it is of great importance, so you should be extra cautious in your actions."
"Well, I understand this, but what next?"
"Then it's nothing. There are no specific tasks assigned to you for the time being. You develop steadily and pay attention to any abnormalities in external intelligence. Just notify your family immediately."
Tang Jiajun nodded to express his understanding.
"Oh, by the way, this time I will keep elite soldiers. Although they have no military spirit, their strength is extraordinary. You will be in charge of them and do whatever you want."
"learn."
After saying that, Ye Xiu turned around and looked around, then quietly put a ring into Tang Jiajun's hand, and left without saying anything.
After watching Ye Xiu leave, Tang Jiajun looked at the ring in his hand with twinkling eyes, put it on and took out a piece of paper.
After reading the above information, keep it in your mind, and then put it directly into the candle in front of you. The candle will dance and burn it to ashes.
The next day, a thousand troops escorted the caravan and left Luoyang, heading in the direction of Ning'an.
However, they did not return the same way they came. Instead, they deliberately bypassed the previous path and walked from the other side, visiting the territories along the way, drawing maps and reaching a consensus on the deal.
Of course, it is common to wipe out a few daring territories from time to time. After all, there are always people who are lawless after the end of the world and feel that they are invincible. The boss of heaven and the second child have not been beaten by society.
But halfway through the journey, deputy Zhong Li's expression suddenly changed.
"General, there's something following you, and it's very strong."
Ye Xiu heard this, turned around and looked back, and nodded cautiously.
"I've been feeling this way since yesterday. I originally thought it was just an illusion, but you also feel this way. I'm afraid... the person who came here is not good."
Zhong Li did not answer. Just now, a skill left yesterday was shattered, but the breath that came from before the skill was shattered made him a little breathless.
With a wave of his hand, a map unfolded in the void. In addition to Zhong Li's location, there were several areas on the map that were also bright, and all the surrounding mutant beasts were marked.
Click!
Zhong Li's face turned pale, and a hanging area on the map was shattered and fell into fog.
"Are you OK?"
"It's okay, that aura is too strong, level five, at least level five."
Zhong Li shook his head and said slowly. Ye Xiu's face relaxed slightly when he heard this.
"It's just the fifth level. The new army is trained and the military spirit can be used to its fullest. The fifth level is nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, another area on the map was broken.
Zhong Li's expression changed.
"No, there's more than one. This one has the same aura as the one just now, but it's still fifth level."
Click! Click! Click!
One area after another was shattered, and one area after another was plunged into fog. The exploratory eyes that Zhong Li had set up a few days ago were all shattered in an instant, leaving only a small circle on the entire map.
The two looked away from the map and looked at each other, their eyes full of caution.
"There are too many, so many of the fifth level, even the lowest ones are all the fourth level."
"Let's go, notify Gu Jihuai, abandon all vehicles, travel lightly, and march quickly!"
"yes."
When Gu Jihuai heard the news and looked at the faces of the two of them, he immediately became nervous and without any ambiguity, he threw away all the carts and the people from the caravan even rode directly on the back of the black donkey.
In less than half an hour, the entire army was reorganized, discarded all supplies, and galloped away with only a few days of rations.
Not long after, there were sounds in the forest and birds scattered.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Several huge black shadows rushed out of the forest and appeared in this open space. Upon closer inspection, they saw several ferocious tengu covered with flesh.
As soon as the Tengu came out, it lowered its head and sniffed lightly with its nose. Then it raised its head and looked directly in the direction in which the caravan left.
"Woof!"
"Woof woof!"
Dogs barked one after another in the forest, ripples moved in the jungle, and birds flew with great force.
"Woof woof! woof woof!"
........
"Zhong Li, how is the situation?"
Zhong Li was sitting on the back of a donkey, with a map spread out in front of him and a cautious expression on his face.
"All the eyes under the cloth were broken, not a single one was left."
"Do you see clearly what it is?"
"Caught a few sounds, probably some guesses."
Zhong Li was a little silent.
"What is it?" He sniffed lightly, then raised his head and looked directly in the direction of the caravan's departure.
"Woof!"
"Woof woof!"
Dogs barked one after another in the forest, ripples moved in the jungle, and birds flew with great force.
"Woof woof! woof woof!"
