Chapter 1320

In a dark corner, a figure was hiding behind a carriage, looking at the tent not far ahead through a small gap in the middle.

He was ordered to find out the news, but for several days, he could hardly see a single figure. He only knew that there were four people on the other side, two adults and two children.

As a result, he was scolded so much that he took out all his savings and successfully bribed a clerk, so that he could get close, but he couldn't get too close.

The merchant Li gave a death order that anyone who dared to get close would be fired, so no one could get close.

However, the harvest this time was not bad, at least he knew the approximate age of the other party, because he could only see it clearly for a moment when the other party entered the tent, but even so, he was shocked.

He fell into a state of obsession the moment he saw Shuang'er, and it took a while for him to wake up, and then the movement of his hand on the carriage was a little louder, and then he was discovered by Xiaolan.

Seeing a little girl from the other side come out and return to the carriage, he also knew that he should leave, and the information he got today was enough.

But when he turned around, he was suddenly startled. A little girl who was less than half his height was behind him, and her cold eyes were looking at him.

"Isn't this the little girl who just came out? How did she get behind me?" The servant looked puzzled, but it didn't matter. Maybe he didn't notice her because he was too short to come here.

"Go away." Although the little girl looked cute and beautiful, he still pushed her shoulder, wanting to leave here quickly while she didn't say anything.

But he had just stretched out his hand halfway, and the other party's little hand grabbed his wrist like lightning, and then his vision suddenly turned around. He didn't know what was going on, and the whole person was swung around by the other party and fell heavily to the ground.

"Get out! I'll show you next time you come." The crisp voice sounded in his ears. He didn't have time to think about why the other party had so much strength. He endured the pain and hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly disappeared into the night.

Seeing the other party go away, Xiaolan, who pretended to be cold, breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, with a trace of tension on her face.

"It seems that what Sister Shuang'er said is right. When facing the enemy, you have to keep a straight face, intimidate the other party, and not reveal your mentality." Xiaolan thought happily, and then jumped and walked towards the tent again.

The first battle was successful, of course she was very happy.

"Master, I have fulfilled my mission and have repelled the other party." When Xiaolan entered the tent, she put away the smile on her face and said to Gu Zheng with a serious face.

"Very good, well done." In fact, all her actions were seen clearly by Gu Zheng. She pretended to return to the carriage, and then relied on her short stature to approach the other party quietly from the other side. For an eight-year-old Xiaolan, it was perfect enough.

Xiaolan, who was praised, tried hard to remain calm, but she couldn't help the joy in her heart, and a flower-like smile bloomed on her face.

Ah Shuai, who was on the side, was unhappy and secretly determined to work harder and not be outdone by his sister.

Soon after dinner, everyone returned to the car again and began to practice.

On the other side, when the servant reported what he saw, a young-looking young man sent him away and fell into deep thought.

"Weiss, it seems that the other party is not small, otherwise let's forget it." A young man, but his face was obviously full of vicissitudes, and it seemed that he often ventured outside.

Compared with the fair-skinned young men around him, he obviously felt a few years older.

"Du Yu, why do I feel that you are getting more and more timid as you grow older? The fearless spirit you used to have disappeared, which disappoints me so much." Westbrook shook his head and said with disappointment.

"That's not what I said. Aren't you going to do it secretly this time? For this reason, you brought a few guards, not to let others know your information." Du Yu said calmly, of course, for the sake of his own caravan.

If he offended the other party, he could pat his butt and leave, but their caravan couldn't run away. If the other party came back to retaliate, they would be the ones who would suffer in the end.

He had previously assigned his own people to inquire about the news over there, which was harmless, but it seemed that Westbrook was a little unwilling.

"That's right, but I haven't suffered such a loss for a long time. According to the servant, there is an extremely beautiful woman there. I will find a chance to see her later." Westbrook nodded in front, and then talked about the woman in a dreadful way.

"Westbrook!" Du Yu said helplessly. Westbrook was good in everything, but he was a little too lustful. "The other party may have a lot of backgrounds, so we can't make trouble."

"Haha, I'm just saying that. I haven't seen any kind of woman." Westbrook laughed and raised his hand to drink it all. "Drink, drink, don't worry, I know my limits."

Du Shao had no choice but to accompany the other party. He also drank the wine glass that he had held in his hand for a long time, hoping that the other party was right.

On the seventh day, Li Shangren sent someone to inform Gu Zheng and the others that they had entered the Blue Country area and would speed up next. The previous speed seemed to be slower than expected, and the manager of the large caravan decided to speed up.

"Do you understand what I said?" After sending away Merchant Li, Gu Zheng said to the three of them again. At this time, after seven days of cramming education, Gu Zheng had already explained the most basic and important things. .

"That's good. When you practice with each other in the future, I will only be responsible for bringing you in. The future journey will all depend on you?" Gu Zheng looked at the heads of the first and second boys nodding, and said seriously.

There is a lot of talk, but it is not as fast as practice. It is a pity that the current environment does not allow them to practice, otherwise the combination can make them more profound.

"I understand, master, are you leaving?" Ah Shai said reluctantly.

"What do you think? I didn't say I was leaving." Gu Zheng burst into laughter upon hearing this and asked funnyly.

"This is what storytellers say. Once an elder or master says something like this, it means he is leaving." Ah Shai said plausibly.

"Don't think nonsense, practice hard. If you don't understand anything, leave it to us. It's best to think about it yourself, so that you can understand it to the greatest extent." Gu Zheng made arrangements, lifted the crepe outside, and came outside.

It was noon at this time, but the sky was filled with white clouds, and it didn't feel very hot. In Gu Zheng's eyes, countless people were walking forward, about five hundred people, including the large caravan in the middle. More than two hundred people.

On the outermost side, there are about a hundred guards riding horses on both sides. Their strength is equal to three or four robberies. This kind of strength is comparable to that of a small army. You must know that the robbers are usually ordinary people and do not dare to rob. Large caravan.

But Gu Zheng saw that the guards around him had taken out their weapons, and the expressions on their faces were even more nervous, as if something was threatening them outside.

Gu Zheng was very surprised. He looked at the carriage driving in front and asked, "Brother, do you know what happened? Why do everyone look a little nervous?"

"Sir, just call me Pony." The young carriage said shyly. Although the speed was said to be accelerated at this time, in fact, overall, for normal people, it was just a little higher than a trot.

"Why are everyone so nervous, especially the guards outside." Although the people inside were nervous, it was obviously not as obvious as outside. It was just painted on their faces.

"Sir, half a day after we entered the Blue Country, a small group of horse bandits appeared beside us. Although there were only less than twenty people, they were all very elite. It seems that there are always wandering bandits on the border. "Xiao Ma said worriedly.

Most of these bandits escaped from the army. They can't help but have great cultivation skills and high discipline. They are the biggest enemy of all caravans.

Because even if the army comes to suppress the bandits, they can evacuate quickly. It is basically difficult to miss, and there are basically a lot of them. If the army comes less, they can still be killed by them.

Fortunately, there are only a few of them, because once his identity is discovered, he will be dealt with along with the entire clan. I didn't expect to meet them here.

"No wonder they were walking faster yesterday." Gu Zheng suddenly realized in his heart, because once they entered the hinterland, they would not be chasing him. It would be easy to anger the country. Once they angered the other party, even they would not be able to get back.

Even if they are so strong, it is difficult to face each other.

"Sir, I think you should go back and get rid of them in a few days and then it will be safe." The little coachman was still trying to comfort Gu Zheng.

"Okay, I'll go in now." Gu Zheng came out and nothing happened, but he was not worried about the bandits at all. The strength of this large caravan was not just what it looked like, otherwise the bandits wouldn't have met at all in the past two days. All appear.

But just when Gu Zheng was about to go back, a sharp look came from outside. Gu Zheng looked over and found a young man, also standing on the carriage, looking at him coldly, as if he was no longer there. It was the same as offending him before.

"It seems that the people in the big merchant's team are also the young masters who are accompanying him on the road." There is no doubt that the caravan where Gu Zheng is located is on the innermost floor, next to the big caravan. This is because Merchant Li has a good relationship with the other manager. Otherwise, you will be placed at the outermost position. Even if there are guards at all times, if there is real danger, you will suffer disaster immediately.

Gu Zheng curled his lips in disdain. The other party was just a young man with no appearance and no cultivation at all.

At such a close distance, Gu Zheng's expression was of course made by the other party, and the young man immediately became furious.

I came to the edge and wanted to take a look at the fairy-like woman that the servant said. Unexpectedly, when I came out, I saw a handsome man standing on it.

It seemed that the other party had snatched the carriage from his hands. When he was observing him carefully, he dared to provoke him. He wished he could tear the other party to pieces immediately.

But when I thought about my mission, I immediately forced myself to calm down. I didn't feel any cultivation from him. He was just an ordinary person. It seemed that he was just a loser with a skinny mouth. I had many ways to deal with him.

"Master Gu, I made you a cup of tea. Come back and take a sip." Shuang'er lifted the gauze, walked to Gu Zheng, and said to Gu Zheng softly.

"Well, I'm coming. You go in first." Gu Zheng nodded lightly, then withdrew his eyeliner from the opposite side, and followed Shuang'er back into the carriage again.

And when Shuang'er appeared, Westbrook's eyes became a little dazed. Although it was only a few glances, it still attracted his whole heart.

Narrow shoulders, thin waist, beautiful neck showing fair skin, beautiful smile, clear eyes with ethereal meaning, like the deepest starry sky, instantly attracted his eyes. He claimed to have seen countless women, but he had never seen such a spiritual, ethereal, gentle and decent woman.

"Westbrook? Westbrook? What's wrong with you." Du Yu walked out of the car and saw the other party's absent-minded look, and couldn't help asking in a daze.

"She's mine, she's mine." Westbrook muttered to himself, as if he didn't hear Du Yu's voice, and he was shouting wildly in his heart.

"Westbrook!" After Du Yu shouted more than ten times in a row from behind, Westbrook finally shook his mind.

"I must get her." From his slightly crazy eyes, he glanced at the window again, as if he could see the scene inside through the tightly closed window, and then turned and walked into the carriage.

"Du Yu, I want to see the leader of the caravan, and I want him inside now." While Du Yu was stunned, an unquestionable order came from inside.

He didn't know what was going on, but he still answered.

"Yes, Westbrook, I'll arrange it now."

Soon, the night of the day came. After two days of accelerated driving, all the people and horses were a little tired, but this situation would take at least three days to make people feel a little relieved, because these two days of travel were just a day's journey for the other party.

Merchant Li hurriedly began to arrange a rest, especially telling everyone to sleep with clothes on, so that if there was any problem, they could get up at any time.

Because when he was in front, when he saw the guards outside coming back to report, he followed the wind and heard the other party seemed to mention that there was still a small group of people watching them, as if they really wanted to cut a knife from them.

It's not like he hasn't encountered such a situation before, and he already had a plan to deal with it, so he wasn't particularly panicked.

But the camp had just started to rain, and Zheng Da, the housekeeper, appeared in front of him again with a smug look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Li Shangren said dissatisfiedly, and he didn't stop what he was doing. He was not like the other merchants who couldn't do anything. He had also experienced the time of helping others. He didn't say he was proficient in everything, but he did most of the work well.

"Tsk tsk, I advise you not to waste your time. Now that the camp is set up, maybe it will be dismantled later. Why bother so much?" Zheng Guanshi said sarcastically.

"What did you say?" Li Shangren's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart. This time, looking at his confident face, he seemed to feel that he had won himself.

"I mean, Lord Lu over there will be back soon and kick you out of the team. I just got the news in advance and informed you so that you won't be in time to do something embarrassing." Zheng Guanshi said straightforwardly.

"Impossible, Lord Lu and I have a good relationship." Li Shangren said decisively when he heard this.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, I'll know in a while, I just came to tell you in advance, after all, we have a good relationship, haha." Zheng Guanshi walked to the side of Li Shangren, paused and said, then walked away with a smile.

Li Shangren's face suddenly became ugly. Since the other party dared to say so, he would definitely not deliberately make fun of him.

But why is this the case? Is it because I didn't give them the carriage?

That's not right. If it was Lord Lu who asked, I would have offered it with both hands without saying a word, and I had asked Lu Daren at first, and he said that they didn't need someone to make such a luxurious carriage.

On this road, it was simply telling everyone that there was an important person sitting here, so hurry up and grab me, so that they would not put themselves in danger again, and for the sake of enjoyment, they also had to think about their lives.

Sure enough, just after Zheng Guanshi left for a while, an old man who looked quite old hurried over. Who else was it but Lord Lu?

"Lord Lu, what's the matter?" Merchant Li pretended not to know and asked enthusiastically.

"Hey, Lao Li, I'm so sorry, you have to leave the caravan now." Lord Lu said helplessly, "Don't make it difficult for me, this is not my order, but the order from the top, how could you offend someone you shouldn't offend!"

"Lord Lu, what's going on? How could I offend anyone? We have been friends for so many years, you teach me how to get out, I don't want this truck of goods, is that okay?" Hearing Lord Lu's serious words, Merchant Li immediately realized that something was wrong.

If he was really driven out alone at this time, it would be miserable.

The road ahead is long, and there are bandits around. With their almost defenseless forces, it is basically dangerous. Even if they don't want the goods this time, they have to stay.

"I can't tell you, and I can't even keep you here. The only thing I can do is that you can stay here before the departure tomorrow, but you must not follow, otherwise the guards will directly drive you out." Lord Lu sighed again, patted his shoulder, and left.

I didn't expect that it was really as Zheng Guanshi said, maybe he knew something. Even if I don't care about my face, I will ask him for advice to see what happened. I want to die with a clear understanding.

But as soon as they moved, they found that there were already several figures guarding outside. They were the Zhili guards of the large caravan. Seeing that they were on guard here, it seemed that they were preventing them from leaving. It seemed that even the last way out was blocked.

Now, everyone in their caravan was facing a huge crisis.
