The night passed uneventfully and the two did not feel sleepy.
After a short rest, the sky was already bright. After packing up, the two directly mounted their horses and set off.
Last night, the two horses hid somewhere and were actually unscathed, which made Yang Xuan click his tongue in wonder.
The two hurried along and nothing else happened.
They set off at sunrise and rested at sunset.
After a few days, the two of them no longer felt unfamiliar with each other. They both felt that they had gotten much closer to each other.
That day, it was almost dusk.
The two were hurrying along when they suddenly saw a caravan in front.
This caravan had about two hundred people and countless carriages.
It was obvious that it was a large caravan.
At this time, there was no one in front or behind. The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Suyi, it seems that you and I have the same idea."
Lin Suyi also smiled sweetly and said, "Looking at their appearance, they also want to set up camp. Why don't we go and stay for the night? At least there's hot water."
"That's exactly what I want."
Yang Xuan laughed and gently squeezed the horse's belly, taking the lead to gallop over.
Lin Suyi also chuckled and followed behind.
"Stop!"
Yang Xuan ran in front of the caravan and saw a bearded man dressed as a martial artist running out of the caravan with more than a dozen guards.
The bearded man looked at Yang Xuan and then looked at Lin Suyi behind him. A trace of relief flashed in his eyes and then he cupped his hands and said, "Who are you two, what's the matter?"
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "We brother and sister are on our way home to visit relatives and passed by here. Unexpectedly, we missed the lodging and want to borrow your precious place to rest for the night. Is it possible?
Hearing this, the bearded man showed a difficult expression and was very hesitant.
He was only the guard captain of this caravan and did not have the right to make decisions about outsiders' lodging.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Please wait for a moment. I will go and ask the boss before making a decision."
Yang Xuan nodded. This was understandable.
When out in the world, it was best to be careful. Since the two of them had unknown origins, normal caravans would definitely be wary of them.
Before the bearded man left, two more people came out from behind.
One of them asked, "Zhang Gui, what's going on? Who are they? "
The bearded man's name was Zhang Gui, and he was the leader of the guards hired by the boss of the caravan.
Hearing this, Zhang Gui said, "Boss Li, these two are brother and sister passing by. They want to stay with our caravan for a night."
Boss Li's original name was Li Chang Gui. He was one of the leaders of this caravan.
"No."
Another old man in green frowned and said, "These two people have unknown origins, how can they stay overnight in the caravan? If something goes wrong, who can bear the responsibility? "
The green-robed old man's name was Wang Tongpu, and he was also one of the bosses of the caravan.
As he spoke, Wang Tongpu's gaze swept past Lin Suyi.
However, his gaze didn't linger for long. It only swept over them briefly before moving away on its own.
He had been in Jianghu for many years and had rich experience. When he saw Yang Xuan and Zhang Gui, he knew that they were not ordinary people.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but the two of you are dressed well, and you are traveling alone."
Wang Tongpu frowned and said, "And you don't even have a guard with you. You must be an internal strength expert. Why do you want to stay with us?"
Yang Xuan secretly praised. No one in Jianghu was easy to deal with.
He said in a clear voice, "Boss, you guessed right. My name is Yang Fan, and I'm from the capital of Yan. I do know a few tricks, but I'm just a beginner. It's not worth mentioning. We don't have any bad intentions. We just want to stay for a night. I hope you can make it convenient. "
Wang Tongpu and Li Chang Gui looked at each other and hesitated, "When out in the world, everyone has inconveniences. It's reasonable to say that I should do good to others. But the world is not peaceful now. We don't dare to rashly take you in. Please do as you wish."
Yang Xuan and Lin Suyi looked at each other. Are they going to sleep in the wild again tonight?
At this time, Zhang Gui couldn't bear it and pleaded, "Bosses, I don't think they are evil people. It's late now, and there are no villages or shops around here. There are often wild animals roaming around. It's very dangerous. Why don't you make it convenient?"
Wang Tongpu's face changed and shouted, "Zhang Gui, don't forget your identity. You are just a guard we invited. Just do your job."
Zhang Gui was helpless and could only look at Li Chang Gui.
Li Chang Gui pondered for a moment and couldn't bear it. He looked at Yang Xuan and Zhang Gui again and said to Wang Tongpu, "Elder Wang, I don't think these two are bad people. There shouldn't be any problems."
Wang Tongpu reprimanded, "Chang Gui, it's not your first time in Jianghu. You should know that Jianghu is dangerous. How can you trust others so easily?"
Li Chang Gui smiled and said, "Elder Wang, as the saying goes, making things convenient for others is making things convenient for yourself. I don't think there are any problems with these two. Let them stay for the night."
"Humph, as you wish. But if there is a problem, you have to take full responsibility."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Wang Tongpu snorted and turned to leave.
Li Chang Gui smiled helplessly and said to Yang Xuan, "Little brother, Elder Wang has a cautious temperament. Please don't mind him.
Yang Xuan cupped his fist and said, "It's fine. Thank you, Boss Li."
Li Chang Gui nodded and said to Zhang Gui, "Make arrangements for these two."
After that, he turned and left.
Zhang Gui smiled at Yang Xuan and said, "Brother, you are lucky. Boss Li is famous for being kind and willing to help others. If he met other caravans like this brother, he definitely wouldn't agree. "
Yang Xuan also smiled and said, "Anyway, thank you, Brother Zhang."
"No problem."
Zhang Gui cupped his fist and said, "Come with me."
When Li Chang Gui returned to the caravan, a few people surrounded him.
"Old Li, what's going on?" Someone asked.
"Two travelers who are alone and want to stay the night." Boss Li replied.
"You are not a newbie in the martial arts world. How can you take in strangers?"
One person was very dissatisfied and had an ugly expression.
Before Li Chang Gui could speak, another person said, "I think it's better to drive them out now to avoid trouble."
Li Chang Gui said, "When you are outside, everyone will have inconveniences. If you can help, then help."
"Humph, if something happens, I want to see if you can take responsibility."
"I will take responsibility if something happens."
Li Chang Gui said unhappily.
When the others heard Li Chang Gui's words, they didn't say anything and left resentfully.
Following Zhang Gui, Yang Xuan and Lin Suyi entered the caravan.
At this time, the caravan had already begun to set up camp and cook. It looked orderly.
When Yang Xuan and Lin Suyi walked past, the people only looked at them curiously but didn't ask much. It was obvious that they were well-trained people.
"Brother, sister, are you also doing business?"
Suddenly, a little girl about six or seven years old ran over. She blinked her big curious eyes like the stars in the sky.
"Little Que 'er, don't run around."
A woman ran over and pulled the little girl. She smiled apologetically at Yang Xuan and Lin Suyi.
"Little Que 'er is also doing business."
The little girl shouted at Yang Xuan. She was very cute.
Lin Suyi found it interesting. She smiled and said, "Little girl, we are not doing business. We are just passing by and want to stay the night."
"You're not doing business? Then do you have anything to sell?"
Little Que 'er didn't give up and continued to ask curiously.
Yang Xuan saw that she was interested and smiled. "We don't have anything to sell at the moment. If we do, I will let you know. But what are you going to use to buy it?"
He also felt that the little girl in front of him was very cute and couldn't help but feel like a child.
"I have this."
The little girl took out two beautiful shells from her pocket and said proudly.
"Sorry!"
The woman felt very embarrassed. She picked up Little Que 'er and apologized to Yang Xuan.
"No worries!"
Yang Xuan smiled and waved at Little Que 'er before leaving with Lin Suyi.
Lin Suyi also smiled at the little girl. "Goodbye, Little Que 'er."
They followed Zhang Gui and came to a low wall surrounded by carriages. There were a few low tents and three or four people were busy outside the tents.
"The two of you can stay here for the night. Leave quickly tomorrow." Zhang Gui said.
"Thank you!" Yang Xuan said.
"You're welcome!" Zhang Gui said and turned to leave.
Yang Xuan and Little Que 'er were not picky people. Although this place was simple and crude, it was much better than the wilderness.
There were also tents and an iron pot on top of a bonfire with hot water boiling.
"Brother, how should I address you?"
After Zhang Gui left, a man of about forty years old came up and cupped his fists to Yang Xuan.
"Just call me Yang Fan."
Yang Xuan didn't want to say his real name, so he gave a fake name. "This is my sister, Yang Su."
Lin Suyi looked at Yang Xuan reproachfully. She was a year older than Yang Xuan but Yang Xuan called her his sister.
"Oh, I'm He Xi. You can call me Old He."
The man called out in a friendly manner, "Where are Brother Yang and Sister Yang heading off to?"
Yang Xuan tied Little White and Little Black to the side and said, "I'm going home to visit my family. I don't want to miss a place to stay. Fortunately, Boss Li is generous and made things convenient for us. Otherwise, we would have to sleep in the wilderness."
At this time, the other people also came over and chatted with Yang Xuan.
Lin Suyi looked at Yang Xuan worriedly, afraid that Yang Xuan would lose his patience.
But when she saw that Yang Xuan was still smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, she relaxed.
After chatting for a while, Yang Xuan had a general understanding of the caravan's composition.
This caravan was actually made up of several bosses.
The Boss Li they saw was just a person who was elected to be in charge of the matters on the trade route.
In the caravan, except for 50 hired guards, most of the others were ordinary people who worked for the bosses.
For example, He Xi had been following Boss Li since childhood and had traveled extensively. She had been weather-beaten.
"Miss Yang, have some hot water."
A young man brought a cup of hot water. His dark face was a little red and it was obvious that he was very shy.
Yang Xuan looked at Lin Suyi with a faint smile, which made Lin Suyi blush.
These people, except for Old He, were all young men in their twenties. They looked at Lin Suyi from time to time but quickly looked away, which made Yang Xuan interested.
These people were very simple and didn't mean any harm.
