Chapter 976
Even if he wants to argue with the other party, Qingu has no qualifications, nor is he in that mood.
In her original life, she often told her children and even her grandchildren about the principles of life, about the experiences and lessons she had summed up, and wanted them to avoid detours, and so on.
But no matter how much she tried her best, the result...
Now, she is living all kinds of lives, and even her life is hanging by a thread in many situations, but she doesn't feel "tired", and her heart is not tired.
Besides, at the time of parting, his mother gave him a long-term education, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
Yuejiao had no choice but to sulk herself, praying that she would encounter a wave of wild beasts right now, so that the one-eyed monster would retreat, and then return to Tianxing City in a legitimate way, waiting for Brother Huai'an.
However, things went smoother than she had imagined. It was not that she had not experienced the wild environment with a caravan before, and no matter how smooth she was, she would encounter herds of beasts, large and small.
But this time, none of the herds met.
The people in the caravan probably had the most peaceful experience among all the merchants, and they couldn't help but gradually relax.
But the more than 20 bodyguards, including Qingu, did not relax for a moment, and even became more cautious and dignified.
Although these bodyguards are cooperating with Qingu for the first time, no matter what they think in their hearts, on the surface they should have respect for a bodyguard commander and follow orders.
They know very well that the most taboo thing in the wild is internal disputes. Even if you are unconvinced and distrustful of a person, you have to twist together in the wild! This is the reason why they have walked many darts and are still standing here.
Half a month later, they arrived near Heicheng.
It means that they have gone nearly half of the trip.
Heicheng used to be the largest human gathering city with a radius of hundreds of miles, but it was washed away by a beast tide two years ago, and now there are only ruins left, half of which are covered by wind and sand.
Qingu ordered to set up camp more than ten miles away from Heicheng to rest.
Qingu gathered all the bodyguards to discuss the next route and how to deal with possible situations.
At the beginning, everyone was a little worried that the rumor that this little girl was the hero of Fengbao would be exaggerated, but after half a month, apart from the fact that the other party looked petite and immature, her acting style was very calm and sophisticated.
Everyone expressed their own opinions and told what they knew about Heicheng.
After the beast tide, there was a group of orcs in Heicheng, and there were some ferocious beasts around, which were very powerful.
To sum it up: Two years ago, before Heicheng was whitewashed by the orcs, this was the most important supply point between Tianxing City and Jufeng City. Because Heicheng was destroyed, this top road was basically abolished.
Orcs? And the herd of beasts?
After the beast tide in Fengbao last time, Qingu wanted to destroy the old nest of the beastmen. You come to attack my homeland, I go kick your lair, that's only fair.
But for various reasons, the tracking failed.
I didn't expect that this black city was actually a lair of the orcs, which was a surprise.
One of the bodyguards suggested: "...the black city has a huge area, as long as we don't encounter the orcs head-on, we have a good chance of passing through."
"This requires someone to test it first to find out what's going on inside."
"Who can go inside and not be found when investigating the situation?"
Everyone shook their heads, this is too difficult, and if one is not good, it will startle the snake.
The second suggestion is: "... Divide the caravan into two parts, one part will attract the attention of the orcs from the other side, and the other part will pass through..."
This suggestion is also very risky. The most important thing is that the part of the bodyguards used as bait will be very dangerous.
Someone asks first, and I am willing to be the bait...
Qingu looked up at the middle-aged man who spoke, he looked at least in his forties, with rough and dark skin, and bumpy scars on his face.
Seeing Qingu noticing him, he added: "I hope that after the bidding is completed, the rest of my reward will be sent to this address..."
As he said that, he handed a piece of bone in his hand to Qingu, it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, and came with the heart of death.
Qingu took the bone piece with the address and name engraved on it, and when his fingers touched it, his spiritual power inadvertently sensed the physical condition of the other party.
Oh, it turned out that there was an old injury on his body, and now the injury has recurred, which is life-threatening.
Therefore, he came this trip with the intention of dying, and planned to make some money for his wife and children in the end!
Qingu subconsciously floated towards the bone in his hand, and was about to speak when he heard a crisp voice from the side: "...If Brother Huai'an is here, we can go directly there, so there is no need for such trouble."
The rest of the people also knew that Huai'an had some skills, and they didn't refute Yuejiao's words.
Qingu looked at her, and asked: "Go directly? Are you not afraid of the attacks of orcs and other beast races?"
Qingu actually thought of something, but he said it on purpose to induce the little girl to reveal more information.
Hearing Qingu's question, Yuejiao raised her chin subconsciously, and said proudly: "Huh, my brother Huai'an is not afraid, he has amazing supernatural powers and can communicate with other orcs. It passed smoothly."
When she said these words, Qingu noticed that some of the bodyguards were full of admiration, and some of them showed disdain or even resistance in their eyes.
However, no matter what their thoughts were, they did not express them at this time.
After all, they know that if they say bad things about the other idol in front of a fanatic fan with their status and prestige, they will be "beaten" to death.
Qingu was like a curious baby, and continued to ask: "Communication? Would the orcs listen to him?"
"Of course, Brother Huai'an is amazing. If he hadn't appeared in time last time, all of us would have been lost in Heicheng. Originally, we had already made an agreement with Brother Huai'an this time. We went to Jufeng City together, unexpectedly..."
Qingu automatically ignored the other party's next words, "You said that Huai'an had a deal with the orcs here before?"
There is a qualitative difference between communication and transaction. The latter is not only a step-by-step relationship, but also a deeper one.
Didn't Yuejiao just say that Huai'an communicated with the orcs, met the other party's demands, and reached an agreement... Isn't this a deal.
Yuejiao was still engrossed in her yearning for her elder brother Huai'an, she didn't hear the meaning behind Qin Gu's words, and echoed: "...No, only elder brother Huai'an has such abilities..."
