"You should know, there are many purple maple leaves on Zi You mountain. The reason why those people buy them is because it is convenient and saves time to collect them. Sigh, it is pointless to tell you. Forget it, forget it …. "
The old village head shook his head and sighed.
Fang Yuan scratched his head, "We wanted to sell more Yuan stone, firstly to recoup our losses, and secondly to show our filial piety to the elders. But who could have thought that after so much effort, we still couldn't sell them. "
His voice was anxious, with a hint of sobbing.
Hearing his words, the old village head's heart softened, the resentment in his heart dissipating by half.
Fang Yuan continued, "Lord village head, don't be anxious, we have decided to follow the caravan tomorrow. If we lower the price, we will be able to sell them. "
"Follow the caravan? Who allowed you to follow the caravan? "The old village head stared at them.
Fang Yuan said matter-of-factly, "I saw many mortals in the caravan. If they can follow, why can't we? "
The old village head held his forehead, "Those are the servants of Lord Gu Master! Do you think a caravan can be casually followed by anyone? What if criminals sneak in? "
"Ah?!" Fang Yuan opened his mouth wide, stunned on the spot, "Then what do we do? The caravan is leaving tomorrow morning. "
"Sigh …" The old man sighed deeply, "Forget it, we will help them to the end. Tomorrow morning, I will ask for help, whether you can join the caravan or not will depend on your luck. "
The sun had just risen, and there were still a few stars left in the light blue sky. Looking from afar, Zi You mountain was covered in dark purple, quiet and mysterious.
After a night's rest, the caravan was ready to set off.
"Check all the goods!"
"Are the ropes tied tight, if one item drops on the way, I will flog you a hundred times."
"Quick, quick, quick, feed all of our Black Skin Fat Beetles."
The Gu Masters commanded loudly, causing the mortal servants to scatter around in panic. Some had a bad temper, holding whips in their hands, whipping whoever was slow. Some loved their Gu worms and fed them personally.
"Lord Chen." The old village chief bowed and saluted one of the deputy leaders of the caravan.
"Oh, Old Zhang, I'm busy. If you have something to say, say it. "This Gu Master Chen said.
"It's like this, I have two juniors who are doing some small business." … "Before the old village head finished speaking, Chen Gu Master suddenly shouted:" Chen Xin, what are you doing? He hurriedly went to feed Serpentwing. Do you expect those servants to feed you well? That Winged Serpent of yours has already swallowed three servants these days! "
"Yes, Master Elder." Chen Xin shrugged his head as he was caught.
Chen Gu Master did not let him off, reprimanding: "How many times have I told you to call me old lord in the village, but in the caravan, you have to call me vice leader."
"Yes, yes, yes, Vice Leader." Chen Xin replied and flew away.
"That rascal …!" Chen Gu Master grumbled angrily, turning towards the old village head: "What did you say just now? Oh! You want to guarantee that the two juniors will join the caravan? "
"Lord is wise, that's right." The old village head quickly replied.
"Is that so …" Chen Gu Master purposely muttered to himself.
The old village head was turned into a Gu Master by him. It was to place one of his own people in this place where the caravan had to pass through.
When the caravan travels, those villages are the focal points of the trade, but the mortal villages along the way cannot be neglected, they are also very important.
There are many people in the caravan, a lot of daily necessities have to be replenished along the way. There are also the servants, when the caravan encounters danger and some servants die, lacking manpower, the caravan would have to choose mortals from the villages along the way.
Speaking of which, Chen Gu Master's servants were already insufficient. In the caravan, mortals' lives were cheap, they were just expendable resources that could be used to speak and move around.
"In the future, when I pass through Zi You mountain, I will still need Old Zhang. If I don't agree, wouldn't I disappoint him? Coincidentally, I am also lacking manpower, but I cannot agree so easily. I need to weigh the pros and cons before I can sell them well. "
Just as Chen Gu Master was thinking, a messenger Gu Master of the caravan ran over.
He held a stack of paper in his hand, shouting as he ran: "Pay attention, a new arrest warrant, there is a new arrest warrant!"
As he shouted, he placed the paper on a black skin fat beetle's body.
"New arrest warrant? Which family? How much is the reward, let me see. "Chen Gu Master was interested.
"Yes, vice leader." The messenger Gu Master quickly handed over a piece of paper.
Chen Gu Master looked at it: "Oh, it is the Bai clan's arrest warrant. As long as the information is correct, it will be a thousand Yuan stone? So high! "
Chen Gu Master's eyes brightened, he was interested.
There were usually two prices on the arrest warrant, one was the information price, and the other was the price to haggle.
The price of a thousand primeval stones was usually for those Devil Dao people who had made a name for themselves. However, the portraits on this wanted poster were of two young people. Both of them had good facial features, and one of them was even very beautiful.
A man and a woman, these were two newbies.
"One is a rank one Gu Master, the other is rank three. The information price is a thousand Yuan stone, and the haggle price is five thousand eight hundred. Tsk, it seems Bai clan hates these two demonic scoundrels to the core. Hehe …. "" Chen Gu Master laughed in schadenfreude, it was not Chen clan anyway.
He had no idea that these two demonic scoundrels were already near him.
The old village head also took a look at the arrest warrant, his heart shuddering.
"The world of Gu Masters is really dangerous, such a beautiful young man is actually a criminal or a demon! Let's hope they won't come to our village. "
"Alright, seeing that you have worked so hard for so many years, I will agree to your request." Chen Gu Master said.
"Ah, thank you lord! Lord, I will call them over now. "The old village head was overjoyed.
Chen Gu Master waved his hand: "No need, I am very busy. Tell them to report to Chen Xin. "
He had no interest in meeting these two mortals. At the same time, he did not associate the person in front of him with the arrest warrant in his hand. After all, this was the Bai clan's arrest warrant, and the Bai clan village was thousands of li away. Chen Gu Master subconsciously felt that his side was very safe.
This was a very common thought process.
Even in modern Earth, when a murder happened in a provincial capital, no matter how vicious it was, people from other provincial capitals would not feel too much danger. Even with modern transportation.
Besides this, there was also the wishful thinking.
In this boundless world, there are countless living beings, why did these two scoundrels escape to my place? Then my luck is too bad, this is impossible!
People always feel that unfortunate things will not happen to them.
Furthermore, there were many arrest warrants, many of them were demonic path leaders, either vicious or eccentric, attracting everyone's attention. Like Fang and Bai, these two newbies, one Rank three and one Rank one, what could they achieve?
When Chen Xin saw Fang and Bai, he did not associate them with the arrest warrant at all.
Fang and Bai's appearances had changed greatly. Not mentioning the disfigured Fang Yuan, Bai Ning Bing also looked presentable after these days of practice.
Chen Xin lost interest at first glance, especially when he saw Fang Yuan's appearance which made him feel even more disgusted.
He was only a Rank one, while Fang Yuan had advanced to Rank two a few days ago.
Chen Xin hurriedly identified them, but did not feel any Gu Master aura, so he called an old butler and asked him to arrange Fang and Bai's work.
"What are your names?" The old butler asked.
At this time, someone finally asked for their names.
"I am Hei Tu, my wife is Bai Yun." Fang Yuan casually said.
"Female?" The old butler turned around and frowned.
He stared at Bai Ning Bing, looking at her dark and swarthy appearance, she was actually called Bai Yun? This Hei Tu was really ugly!
"Women are troublesome. You guys have to be careful. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you! "The old butler said.
"I know. I have a cart with purple maple leaves on it. My wife will stay on the cart and take care of the goods, we don't want to interact with others. "Fang Yuan said.
"Hmph, good that you know."
The old butler arranged for them to unload the goods. But to Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing, it was simply not worth mentioning. Bai Ning Bing, on the other hand, had to pretend to be out of breath and was somewhat tired.
Not far away, a few servants took the chance to slack off and sat around to rest.
Everyone's gazes were fixed on Fang and Bai.
"Brother Qiang, there are two newcomers. Someone saw that they even brought their own goods! That is a cart full of purple maple leaves. "A skinny servant said excitedly.
Exploiting newcomers that had just joined was the custom of the old caravan.
Brother Qiang squatted on the ground and squinted his eyes: "I saw it. Skinny monkey, go test them first."
His physique was robust like an ox, with well-developed chest muscles, but he was not rash.
In this world where Gu Masters were revered, the bravery of mortals was not worth mentioning. To be able to become the center of this small circle, he naturally had some intelligence.
Skinny monkey sighed and walked to Fang Yuan's side under everyone's gaze.
"Brother, where did you come from? Everyone calls me brother monkey, in the future when we work together, we need to take care of each other. "Skinny monkey smiled.
Fang Yuan glanced at him and said only one word.
"Scram."
Skinny monkey's eyes widened and showed an angry expression.
Fang Yuan did not look at him and continued to move the goods. He had been in a caravan in his previous life and was very clear of the filth involved.
In slang, skinny monkey was' stepping on the plate '. He first used words to probe Fang Yuan's background, if he did not have any background, then he would gang up and bully him, exploiting him for some benefits.
In fact, not only mortals, even Gu Masters were the same, just that most of them looked more elegant when they ate.
Venturing alone was to fight with wild beasts. Moving in groups was to fight with their own kind.
Where there were benefits, there would be fights. The space was only so big, everyone wanted to live a better life and have more space to move around, but what could they do?
They could only invade other people's space.
Skinny monkey did not expect Fang Yuan to not give him face, he stood on the spot and stared at him fiercely.
Fang Yuan did not care about such a small character. Mortals were like grass, even if he killed one or two, so what?
As long as it did not affect the delivery, the Gu Masters above would not care.
If they really cared, Fang Yuan naturally had his own methods to settle this matter.
In short, provoking Fang Yuan, these servants were simply looking for death.
"What, still not scramming, do you want me to leave?" Fang Yuan coldly glanced at skinny monkey.
Skinny monkey snorted but did not dare to act up, returning in defeat.
