Chapter 188 Reaching the Frontier Town
Liang Guoguo said with a smile: "Okay, I have good eyesight, and I will lead the way then."

There were only ten patrolling bandits, and the two of them noticed that apart from being strong and possessing brute strength, none of the bandits had internal strength, which was not justified.

When the patrol team found a team passing by the foot of Qingfeng Mountain at night, even if they sent a signal immediately, the bandits in the bandit den wanted to come and intercept them, and it would be too late. By then, they would have been far away from Qingfeng Mountain.

After the two made their decision, they didn't do anything to the ten patrolling people. They tapped the branches and walked away from Qingfeng Mountain.

After arriving at the camp, taking advantage of the fact that the meat in the cauldron was still not cooked for a while, Li Feiyang called the bodyguards to get together, told the bodyguards what the two of them had found out, and said that while the bandits were not around During the period at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, the team passed through the foot of Qingfeng Mountain at night.

"Do you have any objections to our arrangement?" Li Feiyang finished talking about the solution, and finally asked everyone's opinions.

Of course, this does not include Hu Ji's groom.

"I have no opinion."

"I have no opinion either."

"..."

Just walking two or three hours more at night can save a sum of money, of course they have no objection, you must know that the saved money will be evenly distributed among their hands in the end.

"That's the case, who is going to tell those people in Huji, and tell them the situation of that section of the road in a more specific and serious way, so that they don't make any trouble in time." He didn't want to go halfway, and suddenly Someone wants to go pee or something.

Since Hu Ji had only five people, he ate with the escorts, and the cost of food was calculated separately. When he arrived at the border, he asked the person in charge of Hu Ji to settle the bill.

"Master, I'll go and tell them." Qi Yun stood up and said.

"Well, let's go." Qi Yun's mouth was still able to speak, and he went to tell the coachmen to rest assured.

The coachmen had no choice, they could only act according to the bodyguard's decision, and when Qi Yun told them with a cautious expression, they were frightened.

I have known for a long time that the road to the border is very unsafe, and it is common to encounter bandits occupying the mountains. It is not uncommon for the five of them to go this way, but this is the first time they are driving at night.

But thinking about the money that needs to be handed over to every mountain they pass by, they can figure out why they chose to act at night this time.

At night, there are few bandits and there are choices. The coachmen must choose to set off at night.

Soon the dishes in the cauldron were ready, and everyone came to the cauldron with their respective bowls.

As the only woman in the team, Liang Guoguo was the first to fetch food, followed by Li Feiyang.

It wasn't until everyone in the bodyguard bureau had served their meals that it was the driver's turn to serve them. In the end, there was only a little soup left in the pot, and the soup went to the sledgehammer for cooking.

Fortunately, with the potatoes that Liang Guoguo brought out later, the food was enough for everyone to eat.

After Li Feiyang washed his own dishes, he put them in the package on his horse, walked to everyone's side again and said, "Let's go after half an hour's rest."

Half a quarter of an hour passed quickly. Liang Guoguo's ability to see things at night was the strongest. He rode in the front and Li Feiyang walked in the back.

They couldn't see the road clearly at night, and they wanted to make as little noise as possible so that the patrolling bandits could find out early and send a signal to notify the bandits in the bandit's den that they were not moving very fast.

While Liang Guoguo was leading the way, her mental power was always on full swing. When passing by the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, her mental power didn't see the gang of bandits on patrol. The area covered by her mental power was too small.

After marching continuously for three hours at night, the team safely left the range of Qingfeng Mountain. When they reached a safe place, Li Feiyang stopped the team to rest.

The night in April was still a bit cold, and they didn't even dare to light a torch when they were on their way in order not to attract attention.

After finding a safe camp, the first thing to do was to light a fire to keep warm. Liang Guoguo had good eyesight, and when everyone cleared the camp, she had quickly found a pile of firewood.

After everyone warmed up, they also found some dry firewood around. It was already early morning, and it was only two hours before dawn. It wasn't long, and Liang Guoguo didn't take out the tent anymore, and huddled with everyone in the firewood One night in front of the pile.

Having tasted the sweetness of not paying tolls, every time they passed the hills with bandits at night, they would check the hills in advance to see how many bandits there were, and then drive all night to save nearly 200 taels. Tolls.

The convoy arrived at a small town on the border after twelve days. There was also a Huji's shop here, which sold silk and satin.

In a border town, there are seven or eight silk and satin shops alone. Why?
The reason is very simple, because another country on the border is underdeveloped in the silk industry, and they especially like the silk and satin of Fengze country. People often cross the border to Fengze country to buy silk, and the currency they use to buy silk is their country furs, and pearls, gems, gold, etc.

The price of silk and satin sold at the border is several times higher than that in Fengze country, and many traders value this point, so they will risk being exploited by bandits and go to the border to do business.

The goods were delivered to Huji, and the final payment of the escort was 300 taels, plus 300 taels of tolls along the way, and 30 taels of food for several drivers.

For the bodyguards who have full authority to hand over the goods to them, the tolls are determined according to the size and number of bandits' dens.

No matter how much the escort agency pays for the toll, whether it is a loss or a profit, it will be counted as the escort agency.

The goods to be sent to Changhe County on this side are not ready yet, and they need to wait at the border for ten days.

This was exactly what Li Feiyang wanted. Why did he come here in such a hurry?
Ten days was a bit long for them, so Liang Guoguo wanted to take advantage of these ten days to go back to Qingshan County.

If Qingshan County rides a fast horse from here, it only takes two days and two nights to come and go, plus the rest time, it will be three days, and she can stay in the Zhuangzi of Yangjia Village for a few days.

So as soon as she came out of Huji Silk and Satin Shop, she told Li Feiyang that she wanted to go back to Qingshan County.

"There are ten days. Don't worry. Let's go shopping here for two days before going there. I will accompany you when the time comes. It's rare to come to the border once. Let's buy some souvenirs and go back."

Li Feiyang's words are right, it is Hu Ji's bodyguard, and their bodyguard agency only picks up once a year. Whoever is called Hu Ji is relatively famous in Changhe County, but outside of Changhe County, it is nothing, so its annual sales are also limited. of.
