"Miss, you can't." Zhang Zhu hurriedly said.
"Miss, our Zhang family's caravan is the weakest in the entire caravan. If we take him in, we will undoubtedly offend another family. For two insignificant servants, it is not worth it. Miss, even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for the Zhang family's caravan and the people around you. "Zhang Zhu advised.
"This …." Shang Xin Ci was caught in a dilemma, unable to make a decision.
"What's so difficult about this. Miss Zhang, I am only a helper of the Chen family, not their servant. If you are still in a dilemma, I have a way to solve it. You can tell the Chen family, me and my companion offended you, if you want to punish us, then imprison us. The Chen family will definitely not offend you for two mortals. "Fang Yuan said.
"That's a good idea!" Shang Xin Ci's eyes lit up.
"Miss …." Zhang Zhu helplessly sighed, knowing that he could no longer persuade her.
Fang Yuan immediately took advantage of the situation and stood up, bowing deeply to Shang Xin Ci: "Lady Zhang, you are such a good person. I will definitely repay you in the future! "
Shang Xin Ci shook her head: "I never thought of you repaying me, since I met you, then I will do my best to help those who need help. Tonight, you can sleep in my camp. Xiaodie, arrange a tent for the two of them. "
"Yes, miss." Xiao Die unwillingly agreed.
"Come with me, you two. Don't blame me if you get lost. "Xiao Die did not give Fang Yuan any face and led the way.
Looking at Fang and Bai's departing figures, Zhang Zhu deeply frowned.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not like Fang and Bai, but as Shang Xin Ci's bodyguard, he had to think of her safety.
He decided to personally handle this matter.
This was only a small tent, the space inside was narrow.
But Fang and Bai did not care. They had even used a beast trap tree as a tent, this environment was already good enough.
In the darkness, the two casually laid down.
Fang Yuan reached out his hand and held Bai Ning Bing's hand: "Everything will be fine, Bai Yun."
Bai Ning Bing rolled her eyes. She naturally knew Fang Yuan's true intentions. He secretly transferred a portion of snow silver primeval essence to Fang Yuan through his palm.
"Sleep early, luckily we met such a good person like Miss Zhang." Fang Yuan closed his eyes and started to cultivate secretly after he finished speaking.
Now that he had already advanced to the second rank, his primeval essence was the Scarlet Steel Sea. Although he could already use the Four Flavors Liquor Worm, Bai Ning Bing's Learning Silver True Essence was undoubtedly more outstanding.
For Fang Yuan, as long as Bai Ning Bing was around, the Four Flavors Liquor Worm was useless.
Snow silver primeval essence cleansed his aperture, Fang Yuan's foundation rose rapidly. With the effect of breath concealment Gu, he was not worried about his aura leaking.
As long as he did not use Gu worms outside his body, the disguise would not be broken.
Right now, breath concealment Gu had yet to truly step onto the stage of history. In his previous life, around 150 years later, it became widely known because of Hunter Prince Sun Gan. In the following fifty years, during the great war that affected the entire Southern Border, it was widely used and flourished for a time.
That is to say, according to his previous life's historical footsteps, people would only consciously guard against breath concealment Gu after 150 years. Two hundred years later, people would have matured methods and rich experience to deal with breath concealment Gu.
Breath concealment Gu was also a rank three Gu, and there were no rank four Gu Masters in this caravan. Although there were many Gu Masters, who would pay special attention to two ordinary people like 'Hei Tu' and 'Bai Yun'?
After exhausting this Silver Silver Primeval Essence, Fang Yuan immediately activated the Crocodile Strength Gu in his aperture.
Traces of new strength were permanently added to his body. The bones in his body were no longer white, but resembled hard black iron. It was like a firm cornerstone, steadily bearing the continuous growth of strength.
The night passed without words.
The next morning, just as the sky brightened, the whole camp woke up.
After a period of nervousness, the caravan set off.
Zhang Zhu did not directly go to Chen clan, but first secretly inquired through his subordinates.
There was indeed a fight last night, and many people saw it at the scene.
As for Brother Qiang's group, they covered up the fact that Fang Yuan beat them up. If this matter were to spread, it would be too shameful that so many people could not beat Fang Yuan! Then how would Brother Qiang and the rest survive?
In fact, they went back that night and discussed it. After interrogating each other, they reached a consensus and fabricated a story of 'they bullied a newcomer, and in the end, Fang Yuan took the initiative to hand over the Yuan stone, and then they were indignant and went to find the old steward'.
To prove that the fight had indeed happened, Zhang Zhu went to find Chen clan's leader.
This vice leader heard that his subordinates had two mortals who offended Zhang Xin Ci and were detained, and could not help but ponder.
Although he did not want to offend Zhang clan because of one or two mortals, he did not want to compromise on the spot. Chen clan's prestige could not fall. Secondly, among the servants, there were people who were related to him.
Thus, he asked who they were.
Zhang Zhu told him.
Chen clan's vice leader was slightly stunned, he still had some impression. Back then, it was the old village head's request that allowed these two people to join. But to think that on the first day, they would poke a hole in the ground.
According to his estimation, Fang and Bai should be the old village head's relatives, but so what?
The old village head was enlightened by him, and was under his control. Abandoning these two people, he would not dare to have any objections. Moreover, it was clearly these two who made a mistake, and even caused trouble for Chen clan, they deserved to die!
Thinking of this, the vice leader had already decided to abandon these two people to resolve the conflict with Zhang clan.
But on the surface, he showed a difficult expression: "Brother Zhang, I won't hide it from you, if you take these two, our Chen clan will not have enough manpower. You can't ask us Gu Masters to do manual labor to move goods, right? How about this, I will call the steward in charge over. He understands the situation, if we really lack manpower, then we cannot give these two people to you now. They will stay with me for now, and when the next village recruits new people, I will hand them over to your Zhang clan. "
"Alright." Zhang Zhu nodded.
The vice leader could not help but reveal a smile. This way, there wouldn't be any gossips about the Chen family being afraid of the Zhang family.
When the old steward was called over, he felt some apprehension in his heart. Did I do something wrong?
But when he heard the situation clearly, his heart immediately became excited.
This was a heaven-sent opportunity!
These two people were really unlucky, falling into Zhang clan's hands. Die, it would be best if they both died, then wouldn't those two Yuan stones be mine?
Thinking of this, the old steward immediately patted his chest and guaranteed that there was absolutely no problem with manpower.
Even if there was a problem, for those two Yuan stones, he would definitely throw away his old bones and personally move the goods!
At this point, the dust had already settled.
Zhang Zhu said his goodbyes, but his heart was sullen.
For the next ten days, Fang and Bai worked during the day and cultivated at night.
Zi You mountain had already been left far behind by the caravan, stepping into Fei Hou mountain's territory.
Fang Yuan knew that the further he was from Zi You mountain, the more concealed his identity would be, and the safer he would be.
These days, he had already gained half a crocodile's strength, but many bone spear Gu had starved to death, and his milk spring water was already insufficient, he could only give up some to supply the remaining Gu worms.
Fang Yuan felt heartache.
Although he could not use these Gu worms, he could sell them.
He planned to buy Gu worms in Shang clan city, and gather a set. This required large amounts of Yuan stone! Although he had heavenly essence treasure lotus, and could produce tens of Yuan stone a day. But in the caravan, to prevent his identity from being exposed, he could not use it.
Thus, he needed to control Shang Xin Ci even more.
Once they reached Shang clan, Shang Xin Ci would become one of the young masters, and this would bring great convenience to Fang Yuan's trip to Shang clan city.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he not only had to get close to Shang Xin Ci, but also gain her trust.
The mountain forest was deep and serene, and white fog lingered.
The caravan slowly moved forward on the narrow mountain path, the white fog was getting thicker, and people's vision was getting smaller, slowly becoming limited to within ten steps.
Fei Hou mountain was foggy, and if Fang and Bai traveled alone, it would be extremely difficult. But being in the caravan, they could naturally borrow the strength of investigative Gu Masters.
Suddenly, a clamor came from ahead, and the caravan stopped.
"What's going on?"
"There's trouble."
"We encountered a monkey group blocking the way!"
At once, many people in the caravan discussed, but they were not surprised.
In Fei Hou mountain, monkeys ruled the land, and monkey groups formed a sea, innumerable. When the caravan moved here, they would encounter monkey groups blocking the way and robbing them. As long as one had some experience, they would not be surprised.
"Monkeys from Fei Hou mountain? Hehe, I've read about it in books … to think I can see it with my own eyes today. "Bai Ning Bing softly muttered with excitement.
At first, the caravan passed by Fei Hou mountain, and fought with the monkey groups, killing wave after wave. In the end, the caravan was either annihilated, or returned in low spirits.
Fei Hou mountain was once thought of as a forbidden land that could not be used for trade.
If it was any other mountain, the wild beasts would keep each other in check, and there would always be a gap to enter. But the wild beasts on Fei Hou mountain were only bandit monkeys. They lived together, and although there were fights between monkey groups, once they encountered external enemies, all the bandit monkeys in the mountain would unite together.
Such strength was not something a caravan could match.
Even a large clan might not be able to exterminate these monkey groups.
Until 'Heaven Crown Marquis' appeared.
This righteous path rank five Gu Master went deep into Fei Hou mountain, fighting his way to the mountain peak. Then he used a monkey language Gu to reach an agreement with the monkey emperor.
Everything changed because of this.
Fei Hou mountain's trade route was opened.
Now, this trade route was one of the three most important trade routes in Southern Border, connecting east and west, and its importance was self-evident.
"Those damned monkeys, they've appeared again. Right now, they are blocking our path. Everyone, you know the rules. I'll say the ugly words first, whoever breaks the rules will implicate us. My Jia clan will be the first to not let him off! "The caravan leader shouted coldly.
"That's natural."
"Brother Jia Long is right, we will act according to the rules."
"If anyone tries to take advantage of us, we will expel him from the caravan!"
