Immortal Martial Lord

Chapter 115 Gu Fei’s murderous thoughts

Three days later, at noon, on the road leading to the Dragon Imperial City in the Southern Wilderness, a convoy was marching. The carriages were roaring and the horses were roaring. On top of the cart pulled by four horses side by side, a box or a bag was bundled. Bags of goods.

Counting carefully, there were twenty or thirty large carts pulling goods like this. Around the carts, there were hundreds of mercenaries with weapons in hand and expressions of dull expressions guarding them.

On both sides of the avenue are the dense primeval old forests. Several ferocious beasts will jump out of the dense forests at any time, so these mercenaries do not dare to be careless.

In the middle of the motorcade, there was a carriage with curtains hanging on the carriage windows, so no one could see clearly who was sitting inside. The man inside was also very mysterious. Even when the convoy stopped to rest and eat, the man was not seen coming out of the carriage.

What puzzled the mercenaries was that Boss Zheng, a salt merchant from the Central Plains, was extremely respectful to the people in the carriage. He would always come back from the front of the motorcade to greet the people in the carriage.

The leader of this team of mercenaries is a bearded man with a short stature and a muscular body. Everywhere on his body where skin can be seen, his muscles are coiled like a horned dragon, full of strength.

This bearded man was clearing the way in front of the convoy with the Central Plains salt merchant Boss Zheng. The bearded man carried a big black ax on his shoulder and hummed a folk tune, which made him look majestic.

"Hehe! Let me tell you, Boss Zheng, who is the man on the carriage behind?" The bearded man chuckled and asked a slightly fat middle-aged man in brocade clothes riding a tall horse next to him.

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Boss Zheng said with a smile, pretending to be mysterious.

"Boss Zheng, we are all old friends. Your goods have been escorted by me, Lao Hu, and a group of brothers over the past few years. We are all acquaintances, please tell us a little bit!" The bearded mercenary leader Lao Hu My curiosity has been aroused by Boss Zheng.

This bearded man is the leader of one of the countless mercenaries active between Qingshi Town and Longhuang City. There are many such mercenary organizations in Qingshi Town. This bearded man is quite famous in the mercenary circle.

Merchants traveling from north to south, unless they are strong and have a large number of specially trained guards, otherwise they have to hire mercenaries to protect their goods. However, the price of hiring a team of mercenaries is not cheap.

The trade route in the Southern Wilderness is not peaceful. No merchant dares to walk in the Southern Wilderness without hiring mercenaries. Without the protection of mercenaries, not only will the goods be stolen by bandits, but even their lives will be threatened.

Murder and robbery are common occurrences in Southern Wilderness.

It is still very cost-effective to spend some money and hire dozens of mercenaries to protect the safety of goods and people.

"Haha! This man is my benefactor and saved my life." Boss Zheng said with a smile.

When the bearded man heard this, he couldn't help asking quickly: "What happened!? Did Brother Zheng encounter those robbers who killed people and stole goods?"

"Well! We didn't encounter robbers, but we encountered a herd of beasts, and a large group of bloodthirsty wolves." Boss Zheng said.

"Bloodthirsty wolves?" The bearded man couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. Big Beard has traveled back and forth between Qingshi Town and Longhuang City countless times. Of course he knows how powerful the bloodthirsty wolf is. Those are a group of ferocious beasts that eat people without spitting out their bones!

"Did that person save you among the wolves?" The bearded man said in disbelief, his eyes widening.

"Yeah!" Boss Zheng nodded and couldn't help but think of an evening two days ago.

At that time, his convoy had just left Qingshi Town less than a hundred miles away when he encountered a group of bloodthirsty wolves that suddenly rushed out of the dense forest. There were hundreds of ferocious wolves as big as calves, enough to kill them all. If you tear it into pieces and devour it, you won’t even be able to leave the bones.

Just when they were in dire straits, a man appeared. This man showed powerful force and easily killed the bloodthirsty wolf king among the wolves, frightening the wolves away.

So, Boss Zheng stepped forward to thank him. After some conversation, Boss Zheng found out that this young man was also going to Dragon Emperor City, so he warmly invited the young man in white to go with him so that he would have someone to look after him on the way.

Of course, this Central Plains salt merchant, Boss Zheng, also has selfish motives. This young man can kill the wolf king among the wolves as easily as taking something from his bag. With this young man in the convoy, he does not need to be so worried.

The young man thought for a while and agreed, but he put forward a condition to Boss Zheng, that is, no outsiders would see him except Boss Zheng.

There is an inn a hundred miles away from Qingshi Town. Boss Zheng and Big Beard made an appointment to meet at the inn. From the inn to Longhuang City, Boss Zheng’s motorcade was escorted by Big Beard and his hundreds of mercenaries. .

In the mercenary industry, you eat a meal that licks blood with a knife, and live a life where there is no tomorrow if you have today. However, the salary is generous. Even if you really die heroically, your family can receive a large pension. I have had enough food and clothing for half my life.

Therefore, although this industry is full of dangers, there are still many people who join the mercenary team.

"So that's it." After listening to Boss Zheng's story, the bearded man stopped asking him about the person in the carriage. After all, this bearded man knows some taboos about being a mercenary.

You should never ask about things you shouldn't know or know. Even if you know something, you should pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend you don't know. Curiosity is not a good habit and can often kill people. The bearded man and Boss Zheng were talking in the front. What they didn't know was that their words were listened to every word by the young man in the carriage behind.

The carriage the young man was riding in was at least ten feet away from the bearded man and the others who were clearing the way in front of him. However, with the young man's cultivation, any disturbance within a range of ten feet would not escape his ears and eyes. . Even if an embroidery needle falls to the ground, he can hear it clearly.

"Hmph! This guy surnamed Zheng knows how powerful he is and didn't tell me about my appearance." In the carriage, a young man sat cross-legged, with a small green snake coiled on his right hand.

Two tiny tooth holes were vaguely visible on the middle finger of the young man's right hand. There seemed to be a faint fragrance of vegetation permeating the carriage.

This young man has eyes like cold stars, a face as sharp as a knife, and black hair hanging casually on his shoulders. Who else could he be if he wasn't Gu Fei?

"You little guy actually swallowed a beast crystal. It's really surprising." Gu Fei gently teased the little green snake coiled in his hand and said with a faint smile.

It turned out that this little green snake rushed into Gu Fei's magic bag that day, and actually went towards the beast crystal in the magic bag, and swallowed the finger-sized green beast crystal in the magic bag.

The beast crystal, as green and crystal clear as beads, was obtained by Gu Fei from the three-eyed marten he encountered by chance, but now it has been swallowed by the little green snake.

The little green snake that had swallowed the beast crystal had a round ball bulging out from its abdomen. The beast crystal was not that easy to refine. The little green snake that had swallowed the beast crystal became listless.

Only when Gu Fei was using his energy to force out the poison, did the little green snake slowly crawl out of the magic bag and suck the poison from Gu Fei's body.

Two days ago, Gu Fei came out of the primitive forest and met Boss Zheng and his party who were surrounded by wolves. So he took action to kill the wolf king, scare away the wolves, and save Boss Zheng and others.

He didn't like dealing with people and wanted to leave, but during the conversation with Boss Zheng, he learned that Boss Zheng was originally a salt merchant in the Central Plains region and was preparing to transport more than ten trucks of salt to the Southern Wilderness for sale.

The Southern Wilderness does not produce salt, so this salt is a rare commodity in the Southern Wilderness. Boss Zheng transported the salt to the Southern Wilderness in exchange for the rare products of the Southern Wilderness, and then transported it back to the Central Plains to earn the price difference.

Every time he goes back and forth, Boss Zheng can make a net profit of tens of thousands of gold. However, his strength is limited and he does not have the ability to sell salt to the Southern Wilderness on a large scale.

For example, big organizations like the Haotian Merchant Group and the Rising Sun Merchant Company can earn more than just tens of thousands of gold from a trip between the Central Plains and the Southern Wilderness. The tens of thousands of gold earned by Boss Zheng are not even comparable to a fraction of others.

This is the advantage of large business groups and large trading houses. The rich and powerful people are doing big business, and they can mobilize hundreds or even thousands of people when they go out, and they also have their own guards, so there is no need to hire mercenaries.

Boss Zheng made an invitation, so Gu Fei agreed to go to the Southern Wilderness Dragon Imperial City with Boss Zheng and others.

"Well! In a day or two, the remaining poison in the body will be completely eliminated. Those three guys are waiting. I must avenge this assassination!" When Gu Fei thought about how he was almost killed by Chu Tian and the two mysterious The young man poisoned and plotted to kill him, and he could not suppress the anger in his chest.

These three people were already on his must-kill list. Of course, he didn't know that Chu Tian was just using someone as a gunman.

Beitang Ao and Dongfang Long secretly tampered with the wine Gu Fei drank. This was something Chu Tian didn't even know, and Chu Tian didn't know these two people.

However, even if Chu Tian later knew that it was these two people who did it, he would not dare to raise an army to hold him accountable. After all, the power behind those two people was not small.

The belly of the little green snake was still bulging, and the beast crystal had not yet been completely refined. After the green snake drank the poisonous blood, it lazily crawled back into the magic bag on Gu Fei's waist.

This little guy didn't seem to recognize life and was not afraid of Gu Fei. This little green snake is relying on Gu Fei for the time being, because there are two things in Gu Fei's magic bag that attract this little guy.

An egg-sized khaki beast crystal, a black bead. The bead is more advanced than the beast crystal. It is a beast elixir. Only monsters can condense the beast elixir in their bodies.

That bead was the inner elixir of the monster beast that Gu Fei had obtained by killing the immature Black Water Black Snake in the mysterious cave at the bottom of the Cold Blue Water Pool.

At this time, the speed of the convoy suddenly slowed down, and there was a loud noise from the front. Gu Fei looked out through the car curtains and saw dozens of feet ahead, with flags fluttering, and a large group of people rushing on their way.

"Rising Sun Trading Company, Chu?" Vaguely, Gu Fei saw these words on these flags. Seeing these words, Gu Fei's pupils suddenly shrank.

"I'm really unhappy about retribution. I met people from Xuri Trading Company so quickly. Chu Tian, ​​just wish yourself good luck!" A vague murderous aura spread out from Gu Fei's body.
