Chapter 1966 Escort

"Hahaha, senior, this is different. If the goods of Xunhai Trading Company are purchased in Xi Country, there must be an official document for paying tax, and there is no need to pay it again when you get here. If Xunhai Trading Company just passes through Xi Country, The merchants have already paid customs duties when they entered Xi Country, and they don’t have to pay it again when they leave Xi Country!” Xiao Jian explained with a smile, “However, from the looks of Qi Jin and the others, they seem to have done business in Xi Country, and they don’t have any. According to the official document of tax payment, a certain percentage of tariffs must be paid at the border! "

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

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

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

"Tariffs are an important part of a country's revenue and expenditure and cannot be exempted!" Xiao Jian said very familiarly, "Of course, not only is business not easy, but anything in this world is not easy! Even being the master of a country!"

While they were talking, several people got off the bridge, and saw that there were people under the bridge who were similar to the soldiers of the Xi Kingdom, but they were wearing completely different armor and flags.

When everyone entered the border of Gaza, there was 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, they saw nearly twenty carriages led by Qi Jin coming out of the place blocked by the soldiers. When Na Qi Jin saw the carriage parked in front of the tea shed, the disappointment on his face immediately disappeared. He urged the horse on his crotch and hurriedly led a man in smart clothes to the tea shed.

There were not many people in the tea shed. Xiao Hua and the four of them sat idle in front of a dilapidated table. Except for Yuan Ya, who drank one bowl after another of tea, the other three closed their eyes and said nothing.

"Taoist Master..." Qi Jin rushed into the tea shed. He originally wanted to talk to Xiao Hua, but after thinking about it, he walked up to Xiao Jian and clasped his fists and said, "There are too many goods in the Despicable Trading Company. It's a bit troublesome to pass the customs. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"It doesn't matter..." Xiao Jian opened his eyes and smiled. "All I'm waiting for is traveling. No matter whether I'm walking or lying down, I'm practicing. This waiting is nothing!"

"The Taoist Master is really an expert, and what he said is really profound!" Qi Jin looked at Xiao Jian with great admiration, "I and others have worked hard and labored for this Adu thing, and I don't know when they will be freed!"

"You will be liberated when you should be liberated, and when you cannot be liberated. Just talk about it!" Xiao Jian has such words at his fingertips, and he is much more familiar with them than Xiao Hua.

"Yes, yes, I have learned a lesson!" Qi Jin clasped his hands together devoutly, but when he just closed his palms, he immediately understood Xiao Jian's unkind look. Putting it down with great embarrassment, he pointed his hand at the strong man next to him and said, "Master Chen, this is the Taoist Master Xiao that the old man mentioned just now.

You came to see it! "

"I'm Chen Kai of Fuwei Escorts. I've met several Taoist priests!" The strong man stood up and saluted with fists in his hands, his voice was very loud. But there was a kind of toughness and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Wuliang Taoist Master, hello Chen Zhuangshi!" Xiao Jian seemed to understand something, returned the greeting with a smile, then looked at Qi Jin and said, "Old Master Qi, what do you mean by this?"

"This..." Qi Jin was a little embarrassed and said what he meant. Nothing else. As Xiao Jian thought, it was about a hundred miles from the border of Gaza to the nearest city, and there was a section of mountain road that was quite dangerous. There were three groups of bandits alone. These bandits often went down the mountain to rob, and the merchants who passed by were traveling. They were all terrified. Gaza sent troops several times to kill them all with no success, and then simply ignored them. Let these bandits fend for themselves. Since the bandit was born, how could it be destroyed? Although the leader and number of bandits 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 Gaza Country. There is an insurmountable jungle near that section of the mountain road. Therefore, since merchants like Xunhai Trading Company know that there are bandits here, they can only bite the bullet and pass through here. At best... they may hire more people like Fuwei. Escorts like Escort Bureau come to protect the safety of their own business. And Qi Jin had just seen the Xi Country general's unusual respect for Xiao Hua, so he suddenly thought of asking Xiao Hua and others to protect him through this mountain road where bandits were rampant.

Although Xiao Hua and others are not escorts, Qi Jin's behavior of not trusting the Fuwei Escorts and seeking medical attention halfway as if he was seriously ill also made escort master Chen extremely dissatisfied! Chen Kai didn't say anything, but there was disdain and even a hint of hostility in his eyes. How could Xiao Jian not see it? He had seen this look in Zen Master Mingyue's eyes more than once!

"If I had known this... I wouldn't have accepted Qi Jin's money!" Xiao Jian felt a little regretful. After listening to what Qi Jin said, he already understood in his heart that it was impossible for this bandit to appear for nothing, and he was so far away from the border. He had been living so carefree recently. If he hadn't had anything to do with the Gaza Kingdom's border-protecting soldiers, Xiao Jian wouldn't have believed him even if he were killed. As for Qi Jin's meaning, Xiao Jian knew it very well. Qi Jin did not necessarily want to rely on the force of himself and others. What he valued was Li Xianyu's respect for Xiao Hua! Qi Jin thought that he and others were familiar with Li Xianyu and others, and when they encountered bandits on the road ahead, they would surely be wary!

As for this reason, Qi Jin could not tell Chen Kai clearly, nor would he tell Xiao Jian directly. He could only use a tentative tone to ask Xiao Jian and others for protection.

"Grandma's are all smart people!" Xiao Jian regretted and looked at Xiao Hua unconsciously. It was obvious that he and others could not have anything to do with the soldiers at the border. Li Xianyu's respect was directed at Xiao Hua and Xiao Hua. That Yuan Stone, not to mention himself, even Yuan Ya may not be able to protect himself when facing bandits. How dare Xiao Jian dare to be arbitrary?

"Oh? Escort Chen~" To Xiao Jian's surprise, Xiao Hua's face flashed with joy and he asked, "I want to ask you, do you know about Lotus Escort Agency?"

"Lotus Escort Agency?" Chen Kai immediately flashed a hint of vigilance in his eyes and asked curiously, "Does the Taoist Master know the people from the Escort Agency?"

"Tell me, do you know about the Lotus Escort Bureau?" After hearing Chen Kai's answer, Xiao Hua's eyes flashed, and he said anxiously, seemingly ecstatically.

Chen Kai shuddered, Xiao Hua's gaze was really like electricity, as if piercing his heart, startling him. The dissatisfaction in his heart was long forgotten, and he hurriedly replied: "The good teacher knows, I'm here I’ve never heard of Lotus Escort Agency!”

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

"Immortal..." Chen Kai had some sweat on his forehead. Facing Xiao Hua's dissatisfaction at this time, he felt an unspeakable sense of depression and powerlessness. It seemed that facing Xiao Hua was a huge mountain, and this huge mountain could be ready at any time. He can crush himself into meat paste. Now he really knows how powerful Xiao Hua is, "I have heard of Lianhe Escort Agency, Feiyan Escort Agency, and Zhenfeng Escort Agency, but I have never heard of Lotus Escort Agency!"

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

"...I've never heard of it!" Sweat ran down Chen Kai's face, and his knees were almost weak. He really couldn't face Xiao Hua's incredible look, "Little... little He is just an ordinary escort, and what the immortal said about him... I don't know!"

"Huh~" Xiao Hua took a long breath and sighed in his heart, "Oh, bodyguard! Isn't Xiao's second brother a bodyguard?? Lotus Bodyguard Agency, Piaomiao Sect... Why should Xiao embarrass an ordinary bodyguard? Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Hua took a breath, and Chen Kai immediately felt that the danger that could easily crush him to death suddenly disappeared. Then he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead. His heart felt as relieved as if a huge boulder had been removed. .

"Immortal..." Qi Jin naturally saw Chen Kai's embarrassed look, and he was even more happy. Seeing Xiao Hua's good-looking face, he hurriedly whispered, "You are brave, please Immortal, come with me." , I will be able to serve the Immortal Chief all the way..."

"Alas..." Xiao Hua ignored Qi Jin and raised his head to look 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 agency and the escort master, the long-standing memory began to appear like fragments. The corresponding unfamiliar words such as "Lotus Escort Agency, escort, escort" were like fountains. Such a sudden appearance made him have the urge to ask! He really wanted to get what he wanted from the escort named Chen Kai!

Unfortunately, Xiao Hua was still disappointed!

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

"Senior..." Xiao Jian's voice was ethereal again, seeming to come from the horizon, awakening Xiao Hua from his homesickness, "We and others have to move forward, why not... let's go together?"

"It's up to you..." Xiao Hua's face was as dark as water, and he couldn't see any happiness or anger. However, Xiao Jian already knew that Xiao Hua was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "If senior likes peace and quiet, we won't go with the convoy of the trading company." !”

"No need!" Xiao Hua waved his hand, "Just follow, both sides have experience, it's good to be able to help them!"

"Yes, this junior understands!" Xiao Jian showed a smile on his lips, turned his head and said, "Why don't you quickly thank Master Xiao?"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Qi Jin was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed, then pulled Xiao Jian's sleeve, and hurried out, as if he had something to say, but Chen Kai couldn't stand what Xiao Hua just said 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 in the past few days? Have you had enough tea?"

"Taoist Priest, I don't know how to speak, so I'll just stop talking!" Yuan Ya drank another bowl of tea, put a somewhat tattered tea bowl on the table and said, "Junior, go out and set up the car now..." (To be completed Continued.
