The guard walking at the front of the team was startled by the two people who suddenly appeared on the official road. After seeing the shield in Shi Mang's hand, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the short knife in his hand. One of them walked up quickly carrying a flag on the carriage.
After walking a few steps forward, the team behind slowly stopped.
"Friends, we are a convoy of the Tonghang Chamber of Commerce. What can I do?" As he spoke, he showed the Chamber of Commerce logo on the flag in his hand.
Tonghang Chamber of Commerce is a well-known chamber of commerce in Zhongzhou. Its main business is not in Shangjing City, but runs from the east coast to the back of Zhongzhou. It is known as the first chamber of commerce in northern Zhongzhou. The products along the coast want to be transported to the northern part of Zhongzhou.
, the Tonghang Chamber of Commerce occupies a huge share. It is said that the Tonghang Chamber of Commerce has a great background. It is even said that the Tonghang Chamber of Commerce can successfully come up with solutions to some problems that even the emperor cannot solve.
But even so, Jin Ruofeng had never heard of the Tonghang Chamber of Commerce. After all, when he was in Changfeng City, the people he had the most contact with were the traveling merchants. Although he had seen a lot of the world with Lin Mu in Shangjing City, Tonghang
The chamber of commerce has little connection with the capital city. It only has a few liaison shops. It is not that special among the tens of thousands of chambers of commerce in the capital city.
Although Jin Ruofeng didn't know the origin of the Tonghang Chamber of Commerce, he knew that the Chamber of Commerce was quite powerful when he saw these more than 30 large vehicles, and it was obvious that these guards were all warriors. Although there were no warriors among them, basically they were
He is a second-level martial arts warrior, and this kind of skill is not something that a small chamber of commerce can produce.
"Boss, this chamber of commerce is very famous in the north, can we go with them?" Shi Mang unexpectedly said to Jin Ruofeng.
Jin Ruofeng knew that in addition to practicing in the academy, Shi Mang had also worked as a temporary guard for an outside chamber of commerce. He knew about this, and he immediately asked in a low voice: "How strong is this family?"
Shi Mang knew that what Jin Ruofeng was worried about was that if the Emperor's people found out, it might have some adverse effects. However, some large chambers of commerce were able to resist the Emperor's orders without hesitation. In their eyes, they only had interests. Even if the Emperor
If you want to move them, you must also consider the short-term consequences. After all, even most of the various materials needed by the emperor are transported by the Chamber of Commerce. Only urgently needed things will use the power of the government.
"Very strong! Number one in the north!" Shi Mang thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" Jin Ruofeng laughed. As a fourth-level warrior, Shi Mang is still very popular in the chamber of commerce, especially for this kind of temporary joining, free of charge and helping to protect, as long as the other party's details are clear
, almost few teams refuse.
Shi Mang immediately stepped forward: "I am a student of Zhenyun Academy in Shangjing City. Since the school has just suffered a heavy blow, we were lost here and were preparing to go to Chongyang Mountain. Unexpectedly, I ran into your organization here!"
Although Zhenyun Academy has been destroyed, its reputation among the people is still very high. Especially when the guard saw the mark of a fourth-level martial artist on Shi Mang, he was even more envious. He could become a fourth-level martial artist.
Warriors rely on excellent spiritual roots and effective training methods. Although private schools can also cultivate warriors, the chance of that is too small.
"It turns out he's a senior from Zhenyun Academy. I've admired him for a long time. We happen to be going to Chongyang Mountain to deliver supplies. If senior doesn't mind, we can go together!" The guard immediately extended an invitation.
Shi Mang pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded: "Okay then, take me to see your manager!"
Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang soon met the steward of the motorcade, and from his discussion they learned that this batch of supplies was needed by the Chongyang Shanhe family and was a batch of grease from Yanzhang County.
Hearing that this convoy came from Yanzhang County, Jin Ruofeng suddenly became energetic. He immediately said: "Manager, I have a friend from the hunting days who is also from Yanzhang County. However, he did not explain where he was from. He only said that his surname was Jin.
!Did you know?"
"Your surname is Jin?" The steward's expression immediately changed, but this change was fleeting, "I don't know you!"
"That's it, thank you!" Jin Ruofeng could tell that the steward must know something. After all, his father said that the Jin family of Yanzhang County was a declining family. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Even a declining family would never let a
The manager doesn’t know!
With Shi Mang's identity as a cover, the two of them soon became members of the convoy. However, Shi Mang made it clear in advance that the two of them were only responsible for the safety along the way. They only needed to provide food and accommodation without any compensation. This approach was also
Many martial arts warriors outside often use it. On the one hand, they can reduce their own consumption, and on the other hand, they don’t have to worry about food and accommodation. For the fleet, with the addition of a fourth-level martial arts warrior, the safety is greatly improved, and there is no need to spend too much money.
It costs a lot, so why not?
After a brief understanding, Shi Mang learned that the convoy had just missed its previous campsite and was on its way overnight. However, when the steward said this, his eyes flickered, and there must be something wrong with it!
Grease is not considered a heavy item among the materials transported, and the thirty-odd carts are relatively easy to carry. The driver does not use the usual hard-horned beasts, but ordinary horses. This is relatively rare in long-distance transportation.
, because most of the horses are used at close range, and the horned beasts are more durable at long distances, which made Jin Ruofeng have some doubts.
After traveling for dozens of miles, the convoy stopped in a small town near noon. The steward said that because he was too tired the day before, he would take a rest here today. There was nothing wrong with Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang in the convoy.
People just come out and wander around when they have nothing to do.
This town is not that big, maybe because it is close to the official road, but it is somewhat prosperous. Even though it is winter, there are many caravans passing by. There are more or less people in front of the dozen or so inns in the town.
In the convoy, you can also see small groups of guards walking together, and you can also hear the sound of many guests drinking and shouting in the tavern.
"Boss, there's something wrong with this caravan!" Shi Mang whispered to Jin Ruofeng as they walked to a remote place.
"I know that this caravan is definitely fake. I don't think those car frames are loaded with grease. Besides, they come from Yanzhang County and don't even know about the Jin family. I once asked the head coach,
He said that the Jin family was once a prominent family in Yanzhang County. Even though the direct line of the Jin family is no longer there, there are still many side branches. It is obviously self-defeating for him to say that he does not know them!"
"Then we don't have to go back?" Shi Mang said with a frown as he looked at the endless crowd outside, "There are a lot of caravan guards in this town. Even if the emperor intends to deal with King Xiaoyao, he will not show off.
Such a stupid idea, right?"
"What I'm worried about is that these people were not sent by the emperor. Do you remember what Lin Xian did to the temporary camp in order to save Lu Fengyuan, right?"
"You mean we've been given a reward?" Shi Mang reacted immediately, "But I didn't find any such news when I was in the tavern!"
"So I'm worried that these people should be genuine chambers of commerce. Their mission is also to transport grease to Chongyang Mountain. Everything is correct, but in addition to this mission, they also got another mission, that is, the two of us
Bounty, I think in the emperor’s intelligence, I am only a fourth-level talisman, and you are a fourth-level earth element warrior. The two of us act as the pioneers of King Xiaoyao. As long as we are found,
You can follow the clues to find King Xiaoyao, and even if you can't find him, you can still know some of King Xiaoyao's secrets through the two of us!"
"Then we can't go back. Maybe this is a trap set by them!" Shi Mang said, "I heard that the communication messages of these chambers of commerce are faster than the emperor's wind beasts. We must have passed through the mountain road.
When we came here, the Chamber of Commerce noticed it, so they set up a trap here to keep us under control!"
"That's right!" Jin Ruofeng nodded, "If that's the case, we need to plan carefully!"
"What are you planning? Once we leave, as long as the two of us board the flying raft, they will never be able to catch up!" Shi Mang had great faith in the effectiveness of the flying raft.
Jin Ruofeng laughed: "Shi Mang, what is the mission of the two of us?"
Shi Mang was stunned for a moment and then said: "Impersonate King Xiaoyao's team and cover their breakout from the south!" But Shi Mang then said, "But I think the emperor has seen through this trick long ago. What will happen to the two of us?"
There is no way to show the power of the head coach!"
"So we are going to have a show of true and false, and I will see if they can find genuine information from these true and false!"
"What are you going to do?" Shi Mang was a little worried about the boss. He didn't know what other ideas he had come up with.
"Of course I ran away!" Jin Ruofeng sneered, then came out of a remote place and prepared to go back to the inn.
At this moment, the flying raft instantly appeared on the street of the town. It seemed that he was a little surprised by the strange thing in front of him. Many people focused their attention here. Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang immediately boarded the flying raft and hurried towards it.
He sped away outside the town, leaving behind waves of whirlwinds and flying dust.
In just one cup of tea, the entire town knew about Feiraf's escape from the town, and several guards responsible for monitoring the two people quickly ran back to the inn.
"Steward, it's bad, those two guys ran away!" the guard immediately shouted in a high voice.
"Didn't I let you watch?" The steward immediately got off the bed and hurried to the second floor of the inn to look out. Jin Ruofeng's speeding figure immediately appeared in front of his eyes, "You little bastard, you run pretty fast!"
Fortunately, I had already planned it. Let me see where you can run to?"
The flying raft rushed out of the town for a full seven or eight miles. What surprised Jin Ruofeng was that there were no pursuers behind him. He looked at Shi Mang, and Shi Mang looked at him. The two of them seemed to feel that it might be them.
They were too cautious, and these caravans had no such intention at all.
