Chapter 974 Is She the "Big" Hero?

Chapter 974 Is she the "big" hero?

Qi Cheng no longer concealed it, and it was meaningless to hide it any more. He said, "To tell you the truth, we did have a verbal agreement with Huai'an before, and if he came back in two months, we would hire him as an escort. But now things have happened. Some changes, the big shopkeeper decided to advance the schedule, and the two-month period has arrived, and he has not come back for a long time, so he is in a hurry to find someone again..."

Zuo Bu's heart moved: "Change, what change?"

Qi Cheng was a little tangled, looked at his old friend's anxious look and finally looked left and right, looking very alert, leaned close to Zuobu's ear, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid...the next thing the orcs have to deal with is Skystar City..."

"What?" Zuobu exclaimed.

Qi Cheng hurriedly stopped him nervously: "Keep your voice down, you must not talk about this matter, you just have to know what to do. This matter was brought back by Lun Jiaoyue."

"Jiaoyue? Is that the only daughter of your shopkeeper?"

Qi Cheng nodded in response: "Yes. Minghao, the second son of the city lord of Skystar City, has been pursuing Jiaoyue, and then he once inadvertently said...that the groundwater level of Skystar City is changing..."

"Is that so?"

Qi Cheng: "It just so happened that we originally planned to deliver the goods to Jufeng Castle, so the owner wanted to send Jiaoyue back and send it away in advance."

"Aren't you leaving?"

Qi Cheng: "When we settled in Skystar City, we made a promise with City Master Ming. They gave us protection, and we will live and die with Skystar City. So, no matter what, we will not break our promises, but Jiaoyue..."

Zuobu let out a long sigh and nodded, "So that's the case. Since you are open to me, I won't hide it from you. In fact, the beast tide that Wind Castle experienced last time was far more dangerous than the current rumors. The real reason for the retreat It was we who pulled out the command center of the Orcs..."

"You don't mean to say that she did it?"

Zuobu nodded again: "That's right, it's her. Moreover, she has superb medical skills. At that time, many wounded people whose lives were hanging by a thread were rescued by her. As far as I know, all those brought back are still alive." With a sigh of relief, she was saved. I saw this with my own eyes. I won’t lie to you. She is like a hero and savior in Windcastle. That’s all I can say. It’s up to you to decide what to do. .”

In fact, after Qi Cheng talked about the possible crisis in Skystar City, Zuobu was even more looking forward to the deal being done.

At that time, the beast tide here will definitely be more dangerous. He trusts and admires Xiaofang's strength, but he wants her to be safe.

Qi Cheng bowed deeply to Zuo Bu, and said, "Okay, I will definitely tell the shopkeeper and think about it."

...After thinking about it, the deal finally came to fruition.

On the day the negotiation was concluded, the team was ready to go.

Qingu didn't know so many inside stories at the moment, and just performed the duty of a bodyguard.

The scale of the caravan is very large. In addition to dozens of mutated camels, there are also more than a dozen armored rhinos. The domesticated armored rhinos have stronger strength and endurance, and can consign items four to five times equivalent to ordinary mutated camels. .

Apart from Qingu, there were about twenty other bodyguards.

In fact, they wanted to hire more bodyguards, but that would be too conspicuous. After all, even if it is the most expensive cargo, twenty or thirty bodyguards are the best match.

Until the moment before leaving, Qi Cheng and the owner of the Baoan Tang, Lun Hezong, repeatedly blessed Qingu, and next to the goods, they must deliver Yuejiao safely to Jufeng Fort no matter what.

Give half of the commission now, and after the task is completed, the security hall in Jufeng Castle will pay the remaining half.

At the last moment of the team's departure, Qingu saw a woman who was slightly bigger than the one in the picture, escorted by several people, and boarded the most luxurious carriage in the middle.

This is the key to Qingu's mission this time, Lun Yuejiao, the jewel in the palm of Lun Hezong, the treasurer of Baoantang.

Qingu was right next to the carriage, so it was very clear that this little girl was very unwilling to leave.

[Little Z: She's still a "little" girl, no matter how she looks, she seems to be "bigger" than you, right?

Qingu: ...]

But the middle-aged woman beside her tried to persuade her to leave anyway. He told her to study the materials her father gave her when she returned to Jufeng Castle, and to work hard.

At first, Qingu thought it was because she was reluctant to part with her parents, but when she saw the mother and daughter lying there for a long time, it turned out that it was because of one person.

This person is also an old acquaintance of Qingu - Huai'an.

That's right, from the conversation between the two, Qingu fully felt the little girl's attachment to Huai'an.

She said that they had originally discussed with Huai'an that they would go to Jufeng Castle together in a month's time.

Now they are leaving first, that is breaking their promise.

The little girl also listed Huai'an's many times of helping Baoan Tang to her in the past. When it came to the emotion, her emotions became agitated, and she directly criticized her parents for being unfaithful, and even said the word "ungrateful".

The woman's complexion also sank, because the husband and wife only had this one daughter, so they doted on her in every possible way, sheltered her as much as possible, and gave her all the good things, but she didn't expect her daughter to poke her heart like this—— ah.

In fact, their daughter was quite sensible, at least before meeting Huai An.

Huai'an and their Baoantang became acquainted two years ago, when they happened to bring Yuejiao from Jufengbao to Tianxing City, because she already knew all kinds of business, and planned to hand over the things here to her gradually, to exercise , in order to take over the security hall in the future. Unexpectedly, they encountered Heicheng on the road and were being attacked by the orcs. They were alone and weak, so of course they didn't dare to go into the muddy water.

But even if they took a detour, they still encountered those wandering orcs... At a critical moment, a man appeared out of nowhere, and only whistled a few times to make those orcs retreat and save them.

Since then, Yuejiao has never forgotten Huai'an, and even deliberately created opportunities to get along with him.

Including returning to Jufeng Fort this time, she also tried her best to ask Huai'an to be the commander of the bodyguards. She told Huai'an, and the other party responded casually, "...my escort mission will take nearly two months. I should be able to go back in a few months, if there are any changes on the way, maybe it will be delayed, let’s talk about it at that time.”

From the perspective of Yuejiao's parents, the other party just agreed casually, which is not a promise, and what they are doing now is not a breach of the oath.

The key is that the situation is urgent now. According to the experience of the beast hordes in the past, a small-scale beast horde will only appear once every seven or eight years in Tianxing City, and it has only been less than four years since the last time.

If the situation is abnormal, it will definitely be extremely dangerous.

According to the past rules, the water level is abnormal, and within a month, the beast horde will definitely strike.
