Chapter 39 Mobei Businessmen

From Longdong City, Guannei Road to the Wandering Soul Castle in the deep north of Longyou, according to Guo Xiaojiu's footsteps, it would take a month to hike. Guo Xiaojiu didn't have so much time to waste, so before leaving from Longdong City, he found a caravan and walked together.

As for the Wandering Soul Castle in Mobei, it was the end of the trip that Guo Xiaojiu and Zhou Ziheng set out from Luoyang City. The old lady with the charm of the No. 1 female swordsman in Mobei, named Yu Fengyi, was also in Longdong City.

The reason why I asked a caravan to travel with me was that, on the one hand, the caravan went to Mobei more than once, and this trip could take many detours and less trouble.

Although it is not as fast as a single person riding a fast horse, it should be only one or two days later.

Near the northern edge of the desert, the caravan replaced horses with camels. Walking in the desert, horses definitely did not run faster than camels. In a short period of time, horses still had the advantage. The longer the time, the greater the advantage of camels.

Especially at night, the desert during the day is a hot desert, and the desert at night is like the cold winter. At night, the caravans will use camels to form a circle, and people will rest in the circle, so that they will not freeze their bodies. They can also be well prepared for sneak attacks by horse thieves in the desert.

The leader of the caravan was an old man named Ma, and he was also the richest Ma family manager in Longdong City. Then he followed the owner's surname Ma.

On the tenth day, the caravan walked to the center of Mobei. Fortunately, they were very stable along the way and had not encountered any horse thieves, at least they had not encountered them until now.

Guo Xiaojiu was riding a camel and was following the side of Manager Ma in the middle of the caravan. At this time, the hot sunlight shone on the Great Gobi Desert, allowing people to peel off a layer of skin alive.

Wiping off the sweat that could not be stopped on his face, Guo Xiaojiu turned his head to look at Manager Ma, and he also looked at him. He nodded at Manager Ma: "Old Master Ma, how long will it take for us to get to Wandering Soul Castle?"

"No hurry, there will be three more days at most." Manager Ma stretched out three fingers without hurry and shook them gently, "It's very peaceful on the way, it's pretty fast. If it were in the past uneasy years, maybe it wouldn't even be able to save your life."

"What Mr. Ma said," Guo Xiaojiu smiled at Manager Ma and fisted.

Manager Ma squinted his presbyopia, nodded and smiled, and touched his beard: "Boy Guo, don't dislike me, old man, as he grows old and walks more often, he will naturally become verbose."

"To be honest, I didn't realize that you are a swordsman or a swordsman. Even if you are young, I will ask you to follow the caravan at once and pay a penny, because I think you should not be a casual person, at least a second- and third-rate expert."

"Ha, Mr. Ma is very knowledgeable." Guo Xiaojiu smiled and nodded in agreement: "Is Manager Ma also a good player when he was young?"

"Hehe, boy Guo, you are joking!" Manager Ma squinted his eyes and smiled.

"It seems peaceful along the way, but in the past few days, news has been spreading in front of the caravan, saying that some horse thieves looked away from a distance and left. At first I didn't notice it. Last night, Kuizi came over and told me quietly that there were more horse thieves, but he still didn't do it. I thought that it was a bad thing, and I was afraid that a group of horse thieves would not be able to eat us, and several groups of horse thieves united."

Kui Zi, who was mentioned by Manager Ma, is a man in his prime and also the Ma family caravan leading to Mobei, a bodyguard he has trusted in recent years.

From beginning to end, except for the more than a dozen followers with swords in the Ma family, the remaining seventy or eighty people were all good players in the Kuizi escort business.

"Mr. Ma means that before we approach the Wandering Soul Castle, we will encounter a group of horse thieves intercepted?" Guo Xiaojiu put away his smile. He also felt that there were some people following the caravan these days, and it turned out that there were some horse thieves.

In this desert, a group of horse thieves can afford to support more than ten or twenty people. If you want to eat the Ma family, there must be at least more than one hundred horse thieves, that is, a combination of five or six horse thieves. Of course, there are exceptions in everything. In this huge Mobei, there must be some horse thieves who can afford to support 70 or 80 or even hundreds of horse thieves.

"Kuizi is a famous stunner in Longdong City and a master in the second-rate realm. If the number of horse thieves is less than 150 horses, I will ask you to take action for my Ma family caravan. If the number of horse thieves is too large, you can leave quietly in the chaos. My Ma family will never drag others to be the scapegoat of my Ma family." Manager Ma was probably tired of saying that, smashing his mouth, and taking off the water bag from the hump, tilting his head and drinking a few sips.

"Of course, they may not necessarily attack my Ma family. I am just the worst plan."

"If there is really a horse thief, I can stop forty horses for the caravan." Guo Xiaojiu narrowed his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and his other hand spread to one side of his lower abdomen, reaching out to touch the hilt of the knife.

The seemingly ordinary exchanges are actually a test of Manager Ma. If Guo Xiaojiu doesn’t have any real skills, he will definitely slip away quietly at this time. Manager Ma just thinks it’s a loss in business.

Since Manager Ma speculated that Guo Xiaojiu was in the second-rate realm, he would go back to the second-rate realm and become a martial artist in the martial arts world. Stopped forty cavalry, which was almost the bottom line that the second-rate realm could bear.

In fact, Guo Xiaojiu knew in his heart that Manager Ma must have a backup plan. This largest business in Longdong City must have some real means to stand in Longdong City for so many years.

"Okay, young people are just happy. When I arrived at the Wandering Soul Castle, I would like to invite you to drink flower wine in my private name. Young people should look like young people." Manager Ma patted the hump with a very satisfied smile on his face.

Guo Xiaojiu smiled and shook his head: "Hey, Mr. Ma, you are so polite. Is your old body..."

Manager Ma wanted to say something, and a caravan entourage with a sword hurriedly ran over from the front of the caravan: "Master Ma, Master Ma, Master Ma."

"I'm very anxious, tell me if you have something to do." Manager Ma calmed down his smile and glared at the entourage and scolded him.

The entourage gasped for a few breaths before patting his chest and said, "Master Ma, someone fainted in the desert not far ahead. Brother Kuizi called you to come and take a look."

"Do you want to go and have a look?" Manager Ma had already turned over and asked Guo Xiaojiu.

The caravan stopped slowly in this gap. The entourage and escorts in the caravan did not go forward to watch out of curiosity, but instead stared at the caravan's goods more cautiously. Most of these people had families. After this trip, they had money, which could support their family's expenses for half a year.

"Okay." Guo Xiaojiu looked ahead. Apart from the dense caravan goods, he could see anyone in the distance.

Not far away, a few people came to the front of the caravan. On a shallow not far away, there was a coma young man lying. The man was a common dress in the desert. Beside the young man, a thin horse who had already died of exhaustion was lying.

Manager Ma squatted beside the young man, reached out to explore the man's breath, and frowned: "I'm still angry, I shouldn't die yet."

The unconscious young man was carrying a scimitar on his waist, like a rogue in the desert.

"Old man, what do you think about this person?" A middle-aged man following the manager Ma approached behind Manager Ma, and then asked in a rough voice, "This man is Kuizi."

Kuizi was carrying a sword around his waist, and he was the only one in this group with a sword except Guo Xiaojiu.

"According to the rules, he should not be saved." Manager Ma stood up, but hesitated: "But my Ma family has been walking in Mobei for decades, but there is no reason to refuse to save him."

"What if this person..." Kuizi rubbed his nose and muttered in the ear of Manager Ma.

"What should come is always coming, and I see this person being kind-hearted, unlike a bad person. If my Ma family doesn't help me, and if this matter is spread in the future, my Ma family's business will probably be difficult to do in this Mobei." Manager Ma said worriedly.

"Everything is yours!" Kuizi stopped talking, but there was still a hint of inappropriateness in his eyes.

Guo Xiaojiu couldn't get in touch. If he was the only one who encountered this situation, at most he would leave some food and water. If this person was a horse thief, he would definitely hide away.

As for what Kuizi said, he could understand that Kuizi was like him, and he was a man who was walking in the world, and he was wary of everything, which was not unreasonable.

But Ma is different from the business of the business. What he is thinking about is his Ma family's business. As for whether it is a horse thief and whether it will be called up a horse thief, that is something Kuizi should think about.

At this stop, Kuizi called out several of his subordinates and brought the unconscious young man into the caravan.
