Chapter 1966 Bodyguard

"Hahaha, senior, this is different. If the goods of Xunhai Trading Company are bought in Xi Country, there must be an official document for paying taxes, and you don't have to pay it here. If Xunhai Trading Company just passes through Xi Country, The commercial firm has already paid customs duties when entering the country of Xi, and there is no need to pay it again when leaving the country of Xi!" Xiao Jian explained with a smile, "However, judging by their appearance, it seems that they have traded in the country of Xi, and there is no Official documents for paying taxes, you will have to pay a certain percentage of customs duties at this border!"

"Then don't they have to pay taxes when they enter Gasa?" Xiao Hua asked.

"That's natural! This tariff belongs to the country of Xi, and the tariff over there belongs to the country of Gaza!" Xiao Jian nodded.

Xiao Hua sighed: "Oh, this way of doing business is not easy!"

"Tariffs are an important part of a country's income and expenditure, and they cannot be exempted!" Xiao Jian said very familiarly, "Of course, not only is it not easy to do business, but it is also difficult to do anything in this world! Even being the lord of a country!"

While talking, several people got off the bridge, and they saw that there were some people similar to Xi Guo soldiers under the bridge, but the armor and flags they wore were completely different.

Everyone entered the border of the country of Gaza, and there was actually a tea shed half a mile away from the bridge. Xiao Hua looked at the scorching sun above his head and ordered to rest near the tea shed.

After waiting for a full meal, I saw nearly twenty carriages coming out of the place where the soldiers blocked under the leadership of Qi Jin. When Qi Jin saw the carriage parked in front of the tea shed, the disappointment on his face disappeared immediately, he urged the horse under his crotch, and hurriedly led a man in a well-dressed man to the tea shed.

There were not many people in the tea shed, and the four of Xiao Hua sat idle at a dilapidated table. Except for Yuan Ya who was drinking tea from bowl after bowl, the other three kept their eyes shut.

"Daoist..." Qi Jin rushed into the tea shed, originally wanted to talk to Xiao Hua, but after thinking for a while, he walked up to Xiao Jian and cupped his fists and said, "There are too many goods in the humble trading firm, it is a bit troublesome to pass the customs, Lao Dao has been waiting for a long time!"

"It doesn't matter..." Xiao Jian opened his eyes and smiled, "I'm just traveling, whether I'm walking or lying down, I'm practicing, this waiting is nothing!"

"The Taoist priest is really a master. What he said is really profound!" Qi Jin looked at Xiao Jian with admiration. "Old man and others have worked so hard for this Adu thing, I don't know when they will be free!"

"When it's time to be liberated, you will be liberated. When you can't be liberated, just talk about it!" Xiao Jian said at his fingertips. He is much more familiar than Xiao Hua.

"Yes. Yes. This old man has been taught!" Qi Jin clasped his palms together very piously, but he just clasped his palms together, and when he saw Xiao Jian's unkind appearance, he immediately understood again. Putting it down in embarrassment, he pointed at the strong man next to him and said, "Chen Escort, this is the Daoist Xiao that the old man said just now, come and see him!"

"Chen Kai at the Fuwei Escort Bureau, I met some priests!" The strong man stood up and saluted with fists, his voice was very loud, but his eyes showed a kind of toughness and dissatisfaction.

"Boundless Taoist, hello Chen Zhuangshi!" Xiao Jian seemed to understand something, he smiled back and looked at Qi Jin again, and said, "Old Master Qi, what do you mean by this?"

"This..." Qi Jin was a little embarrassed, and said what he meant. Without him, just as Xiao Jian thought, it is about a hundred miles from the border of Gaza to the nearest city, and there is a section of mountain road that is quite dangerous. There are three groups of bandits alone. All merchants travel with trepidation. The Gaza Kingdom sent troops to suppress and kill them several times, but they all returned in vain. Later, they simply ignored them and left these bandits to fend for themselves. Since the bandit was born,

How is it possible to destroy it? Although the bandits' leaders and numbers are changing all the time, this bandit has become a cancer on the border of Gaza.

Unfortunately, there is only such a road from Xi Country to Gasa Country, and there is an insurmountable jungle near that section of the mountain road. Therefore, since a business like Xunhai Trading Company knows that there are bandits here, they can only If you bite the bullet and pass through here, at best... you may hire more escorts like Fuwei Escort to protect the safety of your business. And Qi Jin had just seen the unusual respect that the general of the Xi Country showed Xiao Hua, so he had an impromptu idea, and wanted to ask Xiao Hua and others to protect him through this mountain road where bandits were rampant.

Although Xiao Hua and the others are not escorts, Qi Jin's distrust of the Fuwei Escort, and his behavior of seeking medical treatment as if he was seriously ill halfway made the escort Chen extremely dissatisfied! Chen Kai didn't say anything, but how could Xiao Jian not see the disdain in his eyes, even a faint hostility? He had seen this kind of look in Zen Master Mingyue's eyes more than once!

"If I had known this before... I wouldn't have collected Qi Jin's money!" Xiao Jian felt a little remorseful in his heart. After hearing what Qi Jin said, he already understood in his heart that this bandit could not have appeared for nothing, and the distance from the border was so far away. He lived so carefree recently, if he had nothing to do with the guards of the Gaza Kingdom, Xiao Jian would not have believed it if he was killed. As for Qi Jin's meaning, Xiao Jian is even more aware, Qi Jin may not necessarily want to rely on the force of himself and others, what he values ​​is Li Xianyu's respect for Xiao Hua! Qi Jin thought that he and the others were familiar with Li Xianyu and the others, and when they encountered bandits on the road ahead, they would definitely make the bandits scruples!

And for this reason, Qi Jin couldn't tell Chen Kai clearly, nor would he tell Xiao Jian directly, so he could only ask Xiao Jian and others to protect him in a probing tone.

"Grandma's, they are all smart people!" After Xiao Jian repented, he looked at Xiao Hua unconsciously. It was obvious that he and others could not have anything to do with the soldiers on the border. Li Xianyu's respect was directed at Xiao Hua, at Xiao Hua That piece of primordial stone, facing bandits, let alone himself, even Yuan Ya may not be able to protect himself, how dare Xiao Jian be arbitrary?

"Oh? Escort Chen~" To Xiao Jian's surprise, a trace of joy flashed across Xiao Hua's face, and he asked, "I want to ask you, do you know the Lotus Escort?"

"Lotus Escort Bureau?" Chen Kai immediately had a flash of vigilance in his eyes, and asked curiously, "Master Taoist knows the people in the Escort Bureau?"

"You tell the old man, do you know the Lotus Escort Bureau!" After hearing Chen Kai's answer, Xiao Hua's eyes flashed, he seemed a little ecstatic, and said anxiously.

Chen Kai shuddered, Xiao Hua's gaze was really like electricity, as if piercing into his heart, which shocked him a lot, the dissatisfaction in his heart had long been thrown out of the sky, and he hurriedly replied: "Good teacher Xianzhang knows, I haven't heard of any lotus bodyguards!"

"Huh..." Xiao Hua snorted coldly, looking extremely dissatisfied.

"Immortal Elder..." Chen Kai felt sweaty on his forehead. Facing Xiao Hua's dissatisfaction at this time, he felt an unspeakable sense of oppression and powerlessness. He can crush himself into meat sauce, now he really knows how powerful Xiao Hua is, "I have heard of the Lianhe Escort, Feiyan Escort, and Zhenfeng Escort, but I have never heard of the Lotus Escort!"

"Where is Misty Sect?" Xiao Hua knew that there would be no definite answer, but he still asked in a low voice.

"... I have never heard of it!" Chen Kai's face was dripping with sweat, his knees were almost soft, he really couldn't face Xiao Hua's incredible eyes, "Little...Little The one is just an ordinary bodyguard, what the fairy said is small... I don’t know it!"

"Huh~" Xiao Hua took a long breath, and sighed again in his heart, "Hey, bodyguard! Isn't Xiao's second brother just a bodyguard?? Lotus Bodyguard Bureau, Piao Miao faction... Why should Xiao embarrass an ordinary bodyguard Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Hua let out a breath, and Chen Kai immediately felt that the danger of being easily crushed to death disappeared suddenly, so he stretched out his hand involuntarily, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his heart was relieved like removing a boulder. .

"Immortal Elder..." Qi Jin naturally saw Chen Kai's distressed appearance, and was even more overjoyed in his heart. Seeing Xiao Hua's good-looking face, he hurriedly whispered, "Little old man, dare to go, please wait with me , I will wait all the way to serve the fairy..."

"Alas..." Xiao Hua ignored Qi Jin, raised his head, and looked at the avenue outside the tea shed, his eyes were a little blurred, as if he saw the end of the avenue and the end of time. That is to say, when Qi Jin talked about the Escort Bureau and the Escort Master, that long-standing memory began to appear like fragments again, and the corresponding unfamiliar words such as "Lotus Escort Bureau, Traveler, Escort Master" were like fountains. Appearing like this, he couldn't help but have the urge to ask! He really wanted to get what he wanted from this escort named Chen Kai!

Unfortunately, Xiao Hua is still disappointed!

"Perhaps...they are not far away?" Xiao Hua felt a little fluctuated in his heart, "The arena, villages and towns, escorts, escorts, these are all things that Xiaoyu Continent does not have, and they are all in Xiao's memory..."

"Senior..." Xiao Jian's voice was misty again, as if it came from the sky, awakening Xiao Hua from his nostalgia, "I'll wait for the left and right to move forward, how about... just be together?"

"It's up to you..." Xiao Hua's face was as deep as water, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, but Xiao Jian already knew that Xiao Hua was a little displeased, so he said hastily: "If the senior likes to be quiet, we won't go with the convoy of the firm !"

"No need!" Xiao Hua waved his hand, "Follow and follow, there are experiences on the left and right, it's good to help them!"

"Yes, this junior understands!" Xiao Jian smiled, turned his head and said, "Don't you hurry to thank Master Xiao?"

"Yes, yes, thank the real person, thank the real person" Qi Jin was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed, then pulled Xiao Jian's sleeve, and hurried out, as if he had something to say, and Chen Kai couldn't stand Xiao Hua's just now That momentum also took the opportunity to slip out.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Hua looked at Yuan Ya and said: "Yuan Ya, why haven't you spoken these days? Have you ever had enough tea?"

"Master Daoist, this junior doesn't know how to speak, so let's just stop talking!" Yuan Ya drank another bowl of tea, put the tattered tea bowl on the table and said, "This junior, go out and set up a car..." (To be continued continued...)
