Now that the head escort has agreed, the next thing is simple. Open the bid, get the deposit, and press fingerprints.
Seeing the items being loaded into his carriage, Li Huowang turned his head and looked at the chief escort on the side.
"By the way, chief escort, I'd like to ask, wasn't there a war a few days ago? Will the business be affected?"
"Why don't you accept it? In the escort business, although the more chaotic the world is, the more money it will make, but if the world is really in chaos, there is no money to be made."
"You must know that the war is like a shave, and those big-headed soldiers don't know any rules. But with the blessing of the ancestor, the war has ceased."
Hearing this, Li Huowang was surprised. "Boss, do you know what happened? Did the war suddenly cease?"
He still remembered that many people died in the fighting, so it must not have been an ordinary friction.
If you follow the normal steps, whether you win or lose, it should not be like this.
There must be some reason that prompted both sides to stop fighting. No, it seems that there are more than two sides, and there are far more than two countries participating in the war.
But as if they had agreed, they suddenly stopped, which was very strange.
"How do I know this? If I knew, wouldn't I be the emperor of Si Qi?"
"But, I heard people who were drafted as soldiers and came back said that everything was fine at first, but suddenly, the people who died on the battlefield suddenly stopped dying, and they didn't even attract flies."
Hearing these words, Li Huowang's expression condensed, and after going around and around, he finally got around to Master Tai. This unexpected truce was actually related to the disappearing rot.
"Is it because in the eyes of those in power, the disappearance of decay is far more important than attacking the city and grabbing land? That's why the emperors stopped fighting and worked together to solve this problem?"
"Will the disappearance of decay cause great changes in the world?"
Li Huowang, who was making random guesses, turned to look at the street on the other side. The streets in the border town were very lively, with horse-drawn carriages, ox carts and camels coming and going non-stop. They were not affected by the decay at all.
It seems that very important things are happening in this world, but it has nothing to do with him. Now, he is a member of the common people just like these people.
If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up.
Maybe it is important to rot and disappear in this world, but since the death of Master Shitai, this has nothing to do with Li Huowang.
Unknowingly, Li Huowang was so overwhelmed that the escorts were loaded. The two carriages were so full that they could only sleep on the bottom bed at night.
"My little friend, as long as you send these goods to the Fengteng Escort Agency in Jicheng, Houshu, you will be rewarded with seventy taels."
Seventy taels! Li Huowang couldn't help but be shocked by this reward. You must know that Lu's class only got ten taels for performing a ghost show. It seems that the escort business is really profitable in troubled times.
"Don't be too little. After all, it's your first time. As long as you are good at it, we will naturally do more and more business in the future. This is the escort order, so please keep it close to your body."
Reaching out to take over the escort slip that proved the escort agency's certification, Li Huowang saluted the other party. "General escort, see you later."
"Cherish it and have a safe journey."
After walking out of the escort office, he took another look at the town he had traveled to several times. Li Huowang exhaled melancholy. He no longer had any worries in Siqi. This should be the last time he came to this place.
"The world is so big, where is my home?"
After everything was ready, the wheels started rolling again, and he led everyone towards the increasingly barren Houshu.
If there is any difference between being an escort now and before, it is that I walk slower. After all, there are more things and the horses pulling the carriage are tired.
In order to avoid the revenge of the relatives who performed the Nuo opera, Li Huowang did not stop in the previous town and deliberately took a long detour.
In this way, after walking for almost half a month, when they saw a village again, Li Huowang and others, who were tired and had cracked lips, had to go in and rest.
It’s nothing if you don’t have water to wash up and you’re a little sloppy, but if you eat dry food every day, you’ll get really angry.
At this moment, Li Huowang had a big, crystal clear bubble hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Ouch~" The howling steamed bun was patted by Li Huowang on the soft yellow head with his hand. "This is someone else's place, keep your voice down."
While feeling the licking of the steamed bun, Li Huowang looked at the small Gobi village in front of him.
As if to contrast with the desolate and desolate Gobi outside, all the houses were painted in conspicuous red, and the others were nothing special.
When he saw a man wearing tattered sheepskin walking out of the village, Li Huowang immediately led people to greet him.
"This ---" Li Huowang couldn't finish his words as soon as he started, because the green snot on this man's face stretched from his face to his chest.
Looking at the thickness, it is obvious that it has been accumulated through constant air-drying.
"Um? Outsider?" This person stood there with his pigtails on his head, tilting his head and looking at Li Huowang with a silly smile.
Li Huowang pulled the copper coin mask on his face with his hand. He was a little confused whether this man was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He stood there and looked at him warily.
"Han'er, Han'er, the Wu family is having a big event! Come and help quickly! When you're done, there will be baked buns!"
Hearing the shouts of an old man in the distance, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he turned around and ran towards that direction
"What's the origin of this?" Just when Li Huowang felt confused, Gao Zhijian on the side said, "Shou...shou...shou... village guard!"
"What?" Li Huowang looked at him and learned the meaning from his stammering mouth.
There will be a fool in some villages, this kind of person is called the village guard, who claims that this kind of person is born and loses his consciousness for the rest of his life just to help the village prevent disasters.
But this is just a nice thing to say. The life of most village guards is not easy. They usually have a full meal and a hungry meal, as long as they don't starve to death.
Only when there are weddings and funerals in the village and you take the initiative to help, the leftovers can make it rare for them to have enough to eat.
Li Huowang nodded clearly, "So that's what happened. I haven't encountered it before. This is the first time I understand it."
At this moment, Li Huowang was suddenly startled and looked up at Gao Zhijian's honest face.
"You don't know anything about other things, so why do you know so much about this kind of thing? Could it be that you...were also a village guard before?"
Gao Zhijian suddenly shook his head like a rattle, "No... no... no! I... I... I... I...
..I’m not!”
Looking at his panic, Li Huowang nodded, "Okay, don't explain, I know you're not."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dog boy on the side helped him. "Yes, yes, you are not, you are not."
"I really... I really... No!" Gao Zhijian's face turned red with anxiety.
