Chapter 29 Partner, Nie Hai

Lu Wanqing went back to her small courtyard and tidied up a little bit. She likes to carry her important things on her back every time she goes on a mission like other hunters.But she didn't have anything, so she packed everything in a single package, closed the door and locked it, went to the street and bought a few big naan habitually, wrapped them in oiled paper and put them in the backpack, and then went straight to Go to the agreed place.

The employer is the owner of a medicine shop in the south of the city. His surname is Cheng. He also has a larger medicine shop in Yancheng. , The value of these is not very high, but if you hire an escort agency, no escort agency will accept it without 50 taels of silver.And even if the Escorts came, at least six or seven people would be needed for so many carriages, and everything such as board and lodging would cost a lot not only in ostentation but also in consumption.

Of course, and more importantly, bounty hunters are already fully accepted by people as the ultimate solvers of simple to complex matters.

When Lu Wanqing arrived at the appointed place, Boss Cheng was taking a few guys to move all the goods onto the cart and tie them up.Boss Cheng is a middle-aged man in his 40s. Like most shop owners, he wears tuanhua silk for long-distance running.

Boss Cheng had good eyesight. Seeing the person carrying a black package on his back, he took a step closer to Lu Wanqing, cupped his hands and said, "This must be Wanqing Wan heroine. It's a great honor to have your help."

Wan Qing had read the plots of those novels, bowed her hands in return, and said frankly: "Boss Cheng, you are welcome, I am just hired to do things, just call me Wan Qing."

Boss Cheng let Lu Wanqing into the courtyard as he promised. This is a warehouse in the city, and there is a small courtyard in front of it.Boss Cheng introduced Wanqing into a wing on the left, walked in and saw that there was already a lean and capable man sitting on the left.It was Nie Hai, the hunter who Wanqing took on the task of guarding the hospital for the first time.He was not surprised to see Wan Qing, and he smiled politely as a greeting.

Lu Wanqing smiled back and just sat down when a maid served fragrant tea.

Boss Cheng said: "This mission has been released, and only the two of you have come so far, so... I will trouble you next time. The vehicle has been loaded and will leave after noon. Please rest for a while. The food will be served later."

Nie Hai and Wan Qing had already completed several missions and had contact with all kinds of people, and they were not at all unhappy because of Boss Cheng's arrangement.

Only Nie Hai and Wan Qing were left in the side room, both of them were silent, drinking tea slowly.Wan Qing's impression of Nie Hai was as indifferent as it was when Wei Feng introduced him at that time, and it seemed that she rarely saw him during the whole mission.In the past few months, Lu Wanqing has mostly taken on relatively simple tasks, and this is the first time she has worked with a hunter.

Nie Hai said suddenly: "The last time I saw you fighting against a mid-level hunter alone, you must be very skilled. I never thought I would accept such an escort mission. It will be much easier for me with you here."

Lu Wanqing was very displeased with this tone, she said calmly: "Where is it, receiving money from others is just doing one's duty."

Nie Hai sneered, and the two fell into silence again. For a moment, the girl who poured tea just now came in with a tray, and put a bowl of white rice, a plate of fried vegetables, and a plate of pickled vegetables for the two of them.

Lu Wanqing said, "Is there any more rice?"

"Also, there's more, tell the servants to serve them for you after eating." The girl quickly responded, bowed slightly to the two of them, and then exited the room.

When going out, the most uncomfortable thing is food and lodging, and this time the place is far away, what can I do if I don’t have enough food?
……

Before leaving, Lu Wanqing found out that Boss Cheng not only packed six carts of herbs, but also added two new sedan chairs, but these were not for them to sit on, and a woman wearing a skirt sat on one of them. And two accompanying maids.He sat alone on a roof, accompanied by four servants.

This, this is fundamentally different from what was described in the mission statement.Lu Wanqing walked to Boss Cheng's sedan door and said, "Boss Cheng, didn't you say that there are only six medicinal carriages? Why are there two more sedan chairs?"

Boss Cheng poked his head full of smiles, "Oh, it's Wan Qing, didn't you accept the task without asking the customer why? This trip is just a walk, and the bid didn't say that there were only six carriages without accompanying guests. personnel."

Lu Wanqing was so angry that she simply didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party. She went ahead to explore the way, and Nie Hai walked behind the convoy to escort the convoy.At nightfall, we arrived at the first station, Lianshan Station.Everyone rested for a while, and got up at Yinshi the next day to continue on their way.This time, Boss Cheng really had a good idea, and wanted to pass through two post stations today, so that he could reach Yancheng in the middle of the day on the third day.

Lu Wanqing is used to sitting and practicing every night, as long as there are two hours, he can renew his energy for the whole day, so even if he leaves at Yinshi, he will not feel any discomfort.But she looked at Nie Hai, who looked normal, and didn't seem to be sluggish due to lack of sleep at all. She thought, it seems that anyone who can be a hunter has some background.

The journey went smoothly without stopping. In the second half of the afternoon, the coachman said: "We will reach Zhangtai Station in five miles. It is only less than fifty miles from Zhangtai Station to Yancheng. I will definitely arrive in the second half of tomorrow."

Boss Cheng responded, opened the car curtain, and looked at the fields on both sides. It is already early summer, and the green grass is everywhere, full of vitality. His eyebrows showed a trace of worry, and he said to a middle-aged servant next to him: " Qiangzi, go and see, is there a moon pass ahead?"

Before Qiangzi went to investigate, the coachman responded loudly: "Master is really good at remembering, the Moon Pass is not far ahead..."

Boss Cheng's expression turned pale, and he said to Qiangzi, "Quick, go and call the two hunters."

Qiangzi responded and ran away. After a while, both Lu Wanqing and Nie Hai arrived beside the sedan chair. Boss Cheng didn't seem to get out of the sedan chair to speak at all, and said to the two: "The moon is over in front of me. Last time I passed by, it seems that there It’s not very peaceful. There’s actually nothing along the way, and what I’m most worried about is there, so you must keep your spirits up.”

Lu Wanqing was already a little upset. Hearing what the other party said, he said, "Isn't that place being cleared by the government? Why is it not peaceful? Of course, we will be responsible for the goods of several carriages."

Boss Cheng was anxious, "What are you talking about? I hired you, so naturally you are also responsible for our personal safety."

Lu Wanqing was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, so she simply turned and walked away.Nie Hai put his hands on his chest and followed Lu Wanqing away without saying a word.Boss Cheng stomped his feet anxiously in the car, venting all his anger on Lu Wanqing, "What's your attitude, I didn't expect you to be like this, I'll sue your deacon when I get back."

For a hunter, the employer's evaluation of the hunter is very important. First of all, it will affect her getting paid. Moreover, if the circumstances are serious, she may be directly disqualified from being a hunter, or even wanted by the Hunter's Guild.But Lu Wanqing is not afraid of these now, he has his own reasons, what are he afraid of?I'm well employed, but I'm not the other party's slave, so why should I get what I want.

The convoy set off again, and Boss Cheng became more nervous as the month approached.

Yueguan is actually a crescent-shaped pass. For the convenience of passage, the entire mountain was dug along the large crack left by the earthquake. The passage in the middle is like a crescent and is called Yueguan.In the early years, there was a group of bandits entrenched here. They put the past merchants into Yueguan, and then blocked the entrances and exits.Later, it was heard that a mysterious chivalrous general wiped out all of them, and the government inspected all of them, and the place was peaceful again.

Although Lu Wanqing was displeased with Boss Cheng's actions, she had nothing to do with it, just like what she said, she just received money from others to help eliminate disasters, so she stepped forward to find out the truth.She was strong and agile, and she ran hundreds of meters in an instant. After a few skitters, she walked along the slope to the mountainside, and then covered her ears on a stone.

For a moment, she looked pale and frowned slightly.There is something really weird here.He rushed back to the convoy the same way, needless to say, Boss Cheng had already stopped the convoy.

Lu Wanqing said, "Boss Cheng, you seem to know what's going against you?"

Boss Cheng hesitated: "How do I know? I heard people say that there is a bandit entrenched here, otherwise I wouldn't invite you."

Lu Wanqing said: "You are right, there is indeed a group of bandits here, and there are more than ten people."

Boss Cheng trembled in shock, quickly climbed out of the carriage, stood on the ground and made a deep bow to Lu Wanqing, "Wan Xia, you must save us, you are hunters, you can't just ignore death." what."

Lu Wanqing's eyes subconsciously glanced at the car behind, the mysterious woman with the scorpion, it is true that Boss Cheng wants to deliver the medicinal materials, and I am afraid that the core is to send this woman to Yancheng.Except for the other party getting off the carriage to rest, eat and wash, etc., they were basically in the carriage, and they didn't hear what she said. He was really a strange person.

Lu Wanqing sensed that this group of people were not like ordinary bandits, but like well-trained martial arts masters.But, how did Boss Cheng get into trouble with these martial artists?Could it be that all this has something to do with the woman who has been wearing a tulle mask? ... Lu Wanqing looked at the carriage behind again.

This place is located in the north, and girls from rich families usually like to cover their faces with tulle siege when they go out.This time Boss Cheng can be regarded as some family background in Xufeng City. It is fine for his daughter to cover her face with a mask, but what makes Lu Wanqing feel strange is that when the convoy stopped several times, the people in the carriage did not get out of the car to rest. Hurrying on the road non-stop, without the coquettishness of ordinary rich girls, let alone complaining, this kind of endurance is really good.
