Hearing that he was being picky, the young man became unhappy and said: "Dad, we've been lacking guards recently. I've helped you take note of one and didn't let him register over there. You're being picky." "Ugh, if you don't want it, then I won't lose either. The Chen family's second master is still waiting for guards." The man from before rolled his eyes and was about to shout.

Seeing him like that, the old man quickly pulled him back, and said with a smile: "Little one, you talk too much! I want it, I want it! "When I come back, I'll give you an extra fifty percent of the price!"

The young man laughed and said, "Dad is indeed straightforward. I'll get this warrior to sign one and bring it over to you."

The old man also smiled and returned to the room. The young man then turned to Ding Hong and smiled, "Do warriors understand the rules of the guards of the trading company?"

Ding Hong shook his head.

The young man laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. In fact, all we do is take money to help people get rid of their problems. "Brave one, please follow me to sign the Life and Death Certificate. After receiving the card, you can protect that old mister and bring him to the business."

Ding Hong nodded and followed him. The young man was very open-minded here, greeting people every few steps. He even said to Ding Hong in the middle, "Zhang Zhanpeng's dad is a first-rate businessman, and he also has a name on the streets called 'golden rocs'. The gangsters on the streets saw him and gave him face. They let him pass as long as he gave them the money. Sometimes, they even had to treat him to food and drinks, so there was no danger along the way. Therefore, it's quite easy to travel with Mr. Zhang. You don't have to be afraid of losing your life if you take the money. "

Arriving at an area that looked like a pawnshop, he placed his head next to the wooden frame and shouted loudly in this noisy place, "Uncle Wang, throw me a piece of the guard tag and pass me another piece of paper!"

Just as he finished speaking, someone with a thick nose replied, "Alright!"

After a while, a simple and honest looking person brought out a sign and a small wooden stick to pass to him. He smiled: "What, have you finally found a guard?"

The young man also laughed: "Isn't that so! "Sigh, the world has been tight recently with a lot of monsters and ghosts. Those with some ability are too little, and no one is willing to spend so much money!"

The middle-aged man nodded, sighed, and started to shake his head. The young man took the items and walked in front of Ding Hong. He handed over the signboard and the small wooden stick to him and said, "Warrior, just write your name on this wooden stick. "You can keep this medallion and let the outsiders know that you have sent our Fortune Trading Company out."

Ding Hong took the signboard and the wooden strip. He first secretly checked the wooden strip, and after discovering that there were no restrictions, he wrote a name on it. However, the name was written with the word 'Bai Fan'. Moreover, Ding Hong had ruthlessly carved a white character on top of that. The young man nodded, then took back the wooden stick and gave it to the middle-aged man. He let out a breath as if he had relaxed and said to Ding Hong, "Brave warrior, if you take the money now, you can get ten taels of silver. When the caravan returns, you can get another hundred taels! "If you can get one of those when you come back, you can get one hundred and fifty silver!"

Hearing such a large amount of money, Ding Hong frowned and asked, "How far is the caravan going?"

The young man smiled and said: "Fifteen days at most! After all, a lot of people have to be back by the time February 2nd. "

Fifteen days? One hundred and fifty silver taels? Ding Hong sucked in a breath of cold air and said in surprise, "Why are there so many?"

Hearing his question, the young man cleared his throat and awkwardly said, "The warrior has already signed his name plate, so I won't hide it from you." Recently, there had been many mature demons on the road, many of them called 'King'! Every time our caravan passed by, we would have to offer some good items! "But that's fine, but, but …" He sighed heavily and grumbled, "However, there will always be some demons who do not conform to the rules that will secretly follow the caravan, killing and robbing people and goods! It doesn't matter how much you give.

Along the way, he secretly looked at Ding Hong's face, deeply afraid that he would not be willing. In fact, according to the caravan's offer, one guard had bid two hundred and twenty taels of silver and the store had deducted twenty taels. In reality, they were supposed to pay two hundred taels of silver to the guard. If Ding Hong had shown the slightest bit of willingness to add money, he would definitely have added more money. However, seeing Ding Hong's ordinary expression and not the slightest bit of fear, he was immediately overjoyed.

Ding Hong asked, "When will the caravan depart?"

The young man was very happy as he said with a smile, "We'll be waiting for your last guard. Let's go. I'll lure you over so they can set off."

Ding Hong nodded and followed him. Arriving at the east wing, Zhang Zhenpeng was talking animatedly with a group of people.

The person from before shouted, "Old Man Zhang, he's already here."

When Zhang Zhanpeng heard this, he immediately shut his mouth and jumped out of the house. When he saw Ding Hong, he asked, "Bai Fan?"

Ding Hong nodded. Now that he was dressed up, this nod had the bearing of a chivalrous warrior. Zhang Zhenpeng had been waiting here for a few days and was getting anxious. He did not want to thank that person and directly said to Ding Hong, "Follow me. We will set off now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out with Ding Hong following behind him.

After Zhang Zhenpeng went around a few streets, he arrived at the west gate. There was actually a caravan about twenty feet long waiting there. A few soldiers with blades on their backs were chatting with the soldiers. When they saw Zhang Zhanpeng, they immediately stopped and ran over. They loudly laughed, "Boss, we've finally gathered our men."

Zhang Zhan Peng rolled his eyes and said: "Lei Pi, move your feet quickly!" I reckon that you have the best martial arts out of all the people here. "

Ding Hong, of course, had also seen Lei Pi and felt that he had seen him there before.

A person with shifty eyes ran over to Zhang Zhanpeng and laughed: "Of course, who is our big brother, that is …"

Zhang Zhan Peng did not wait for him to finish and shouted: "F * ck, f * ck off to the side! Still not getting on the road! If it weren't for the fact that every guard that comes out of seclusion has to be at least ten, why would they look for you! "I, alone, am enough!" She didn't feel good, so she went up to give that person another kick.

It was them!

Ding Hong's eyes flickered. When he saw that shifty-eyed man, he suddenly thought of two years ago, when they had just met, a bearded man had robbed him and Wu Yu! Who would have thought that after circling the area, he would run into them here again.

After Zhang Zhenpeng carried the person away, he blew on his beard and ran to a yard not far away. He picked up an ultimatum, and there was someone accompanying him to inspect something.

That person was neither fat nor thin, with extremely small eyes. He shouted, "The guards with the tags have all come out. I can see that there are less than ten of them."

As soon as the words left his mouth, nine people rushed out from the side. Among them, an extremely thin and weak figure ran out. Ding Hong was somewhat surprised to see that it was a woman. He then took his guard tag and stood to the side.

"Yes, nine out of ten of them were lucky. It seems that luck has been booming recently."

Zhang Zhanpeng smiled and said: "Sir Wu, can you let us go?" Saying so, she came to his side and handed him a small box. He opened it and took a look. Satisfied, he nodded his head and smiled. "I wish Mr. Zhang good luck in coming back."

Zhang Zhenpeng laughed and said, "Of course!"

The two of them laughed for a while, and the caravan finally set off.

The west gate was nearing the edge of the Wilderness, beyond which lay the endless desert. Due to the winter, the once golden Gobi Desert had become somewhat cold and white.

The cold wind in the air caressed their throats, causing them to feel breathless.

Zhang Zhenpeng shouted against the cold wind, "Everyone, work harder and strive to reach Lou Lan the day after tomorrow! There are good women and good meat there! "

Everyone on the camels burst into laughter. Zhang Zhanpeng was in a very good mood, but he was actually very worried. The reason why he wanted the caravan to arrive at Lou Lan earlier was because it was completely out of this unmanned area and they did not need to be afraid of any Demon Soldiers.

Ding Hong had already hung the pendant on his chest. Seeing that there was no response after a long time, he did nothing. He stared at the girl dressed in a strong robe, wanting to know what she was here for.

Suddenly, the woman turned her head and looked at him. Her eyes were filled with an ice-cold light like the flames of an orchid! Then he turned his head, as if nothing had happened.

Ding Hong's heart shook as he cried out in his heart: Her technique just now had no spiritual energy undulations! What she cultivated was also of yin and yang attribute!

Ding Hong had not seen a second person who cultivated yin and yang energy for a long time, but now one had suddenly appeared. How could he not be excited?

However, after a short moment, Ding Hong calmed down and pondered, "Those who cultivate Yin Yang energy must have gathered a False Spiritual Body. Could it be that she went to the Wilderness to look for something?"

As he thought of this, Ding Hong suddenly remembered his incomplete sword. However, this was a small matter. If he had time, he could just inject that earth energy into it. However, if this woman was looking for something that belonged to the Yin Yang Eight Scenes …

Lei Pi suddenly came to his side and asked, "Brother, is this your first time protecting a merchant?"

Ding Hong turned his head to look at him and said, "That's right."

Lei Pi said with a smile, "Brother, your courage is quite good. There are fewer and fewer people who dare to protect merchants in the Wilderness these days."

Ding Hong asked, "I wonder how long you have been doing this for, Brave Warrior?"

Lei Pi pointed at himself and proudly said, "I've been walking back and forth on this path for over a year now. Furthermore, as long as it's the merchant group that I am escorting, they will definitely be safe and sound on the way, and there won't be any big issues. "

Zhang Zhan Peng suddenly shouted from the front: "Team, pay attention!" Tie up all the ropes and bells, and we will cross the desert! "

When he heard that they were going to cross the desert, Lei Pi said to Ding Hong, "Brother, be careful. We have to cross a small desert in front of us. If you miss a single route, you will lose your life!"

Ding Hong nodded.

Although there was no snow in the Wilderness, the wind blew through the sand like a knife. At this moment, the sun was about to set and the sky was slightly overcast.

After all, they had entered the desert.

Zhang Zhenpeng was leading the way at the front. From time to time, he would use a twenty feet long stick to poke his way through the sand mountains, leading his team forward like a snake.

As time passed, the light in the sky finally dissipated into nothingness.

The temperature in the air dropped by a large amount, and the twinkling stars in the sky seemed to shiver coldly, emitting tempting rays of light.

Lei Pi yawned coldly and scolded in rage, "Fuck, every time I pass this part of the desert, it's always cold to the point of trembling! This really isn't a place that people should come to. "

Ding Hong was alright, but he felt a little cool.

Zhang Zhenpeng was wrapped in a heavy fur coat and was sitting on a camel. He had a serious expression on his face.

Behind him, someone was whispering, "We're in front of the Sand Demon Mountain Range again. I hope nothing bad has happened this time."

"Sigh, I heard that last month when a small caravan passed by, not even the bones were left!"

"Don't talk about it. If the boss hears about it, it'll be deducted a lot of money!"

The person muttered, "What's the use of losing your life and asking for money …"

However, his voice became softer and softer until he could barely hear what was being said.

When Ding Hong heard how scared they were of the Demonic Sand Mountain Range, he couldn't help but ask Lei Pi, "What kind of place is this Demonic Sand Mountain Range?"

Once the three words' Sharal Mountain 'came out, Lei Pi's entire body trembled. He looked around and extended his head over as he said softly, "Brother, don't kick around with these three words. Sand Demon Ridge was originally just a mound in this small desert, it was merely a wall carved out of sand. However, in recent months, there have suddenly been demons that occupy this region. Their actions are illogical. It's easy for them to kill them for their goods! " After hesitating for a moment, Lei Pi continued, "When these ten caravans pass by, nearly six of them will be buried here!"

Zhang Zhan Peng suddenly shouted: "Stop! Lei Pi, quickly bring someone here! "

Lei Pi heard the shout and quickly shouted to the people around him, "Guard, follow me." Then, he hastily ran towards Zhang Zhenpeng.

When everyone came to Zhang Zhanpeng's side, he said seriously, "The Demonic Sand Ridge is up ahead. Take your things and scout ahead. We'll take a look at what's going on this time. If something goes wrong, we should hurry and return."

Lei Pi nodded and said, "Big Boss, are they still the same kind of people as before?"

Zhang Zhan Peng thought for a while, then said while clenching his teeth: "This time, I will flip another 50%! I heard that the goods given by the caravan last time were too little, and they were all killed. "

Lei Pi nodded and said, "Then we'll be going now." Without further ado, he brought the four camels to the mound that was separated from the desert. After placing the items there, Lei Pi led everyone and backed off a few hundred meters. With his loud voice, he shouted loudly, "The King of the Demonic Sand Mountain Range! "The few people from the Lucky Faction want to borrow some light and take a detour. Since we've already delivered the goods, let us pass if it's convenient."

Just as his voice fell, a shadow flashed on the distant hill, and a group of monsters wearing all kinds of armor ran out. One of them was a black fur-covered monster that looked like a bear but had two ivory tusks, and it unexpectedly replied, "How many things have you given me?

Upon hearing that, Lei Pi felt that it was a good idea and his tone became a bit higher as he shouted, "There are a total of 80 vats of aged wine! That's a whole thirty jars more than usual. "

When the demon heard this, he revealed a human-like smile and said with a laugh, "Not bad, not bad. There are more than half of them than usual. Little ones, accept."

The little demon behind it happily rushed up, holding on to something as it ran back with one hand and one foot in the other. The black bear laughed, turned around, and left.

Lei Pi furrowed his brows when he saw this scene. He had seen a few drink-understanding demons come to inspect the goods, but this time, it was so easy. It made him feel somewhat astonished. However, seeing that they agreed, Lei Pi was very happy. He quickly led everyone back and smiled to Zhang Zhenpeng, "Big Boss, those demons have accepted."

Zhang Zhenpeng let out a sigh of relief and said: "Good luck this time. Alright, let's not waste time and hurry over."

Lei Pi was very happy. He thought that if he completed this task, he would be able to raise a lot of wages. When he heard Zhang Zhenpeng's order, he immediately took action. Soon after, the large group was led by Zhang Zhanpeng as they walked around the mound.
