Chapter 8: He was robbed on his first escort trip
In the next few days, the boss of the escort agency only met briefly, encouraged Lin Shan with a few words and then left.
Then he was assigned to be a bodyguard under Mr. Wang, the escort chief. Naturally, the Lin's bodyguard agency not only had members of the Lin family, but also recruited elites in the industry.
There are three major escorts in the escort agency. Mr. Wang has more than ten escorts, more than 30 escorts, and more than 50 handymen, adding up to hundreds of people.
He himself is the only first-class master among the three escort heads. Qinghe County is famous and he is also the strongest among the escort agencies!
The shopkeeper himself is a direct descendant of the Lin family, and does not need to send escorts. He is only responsible for management. If there is any important matter, he will discuss it with the escort chief Wang.
Generally, when new recruits first come to report, they will hang out under the great master of escort king. Only by reducing the chance of premature death can they grow up as quickly as possible. After all, escort transport is also a business that licks blood.
……
Half a month later, on the steps of the escort agency.
At this time, Lin Shan was wearing a brand new escort uniform, holding a newly issued standard sword in his arms, chatting with a sixty-year-old man next to him.
This man was also the bodyguard under Mr. Wang. He was the oldest, and everyone called him Master Pu.
Pu escort master has been deeply involved in the realm of Zang training for many years. He has been in the industry for forty years and is an older generation of experts in the escort industry. Lin Shan naturally asked for advice humbly, and gradually became familiar with each other in the past ten days.
"Master Pu, I've been idle for half a month and still haven't shipped any goods. When are you going to leave the city to explore?"
Master Pu was smoking dry smoke, and a puff of thick mist blew out from his nostrils, like two long-tailed dragons covering Linshan's face.
Lin Shan choked and coughed several times. This second-hand smoke was his biggest enemy in his previous life, but in front of his seniors he could only endure it with a smile.
"Don't worry, young people are always impatient."
Master Pu lay there puffing away for a long time, "In a few days, a batch of goods from the government will be delivered to the neighboring Zanggao County. Everyone under the king's escort will go, and you are indispensable."
Lin Shan hurriedly came to the front and filled Master Pu's tobacco with a look,
"Isn't it true that hundreds of people were dispatched together? With such a big movement, would escort Wang head to his old man?"
"Nonsense! This batch of government goods is of great importance. Naturally, the head escort Wang will escort it personally to prevent it from being late."
Lin Shan smiled happily: "When the time comes, I will have to rely on you, Master Pu, to take care of you on the road."
Master Pu puffed out his cigarette and cursed with a smile, "You little brat! Follow me when the time comes and be smart!"
"Okay!"
……
A few days later, at the south gate of Qinghe County, a long line of people left the city one after another.
A group of mules and horses in the team meandered a hundred steps away, hundreds of people holding weapons, and escorting more than a dozen escort vehicles. The cars were covered with tarps, and it was unknown what kind of goods were inside.
At this time, Lin Shan and Master Pu were driving the same carriage, one on the left and the other on the right, chatting while leaning on the goods behind them. The handymen were accompanying them on the ground, and in the distance, the men on horseback were guarding the surroundings and exploring the way forward.
We walked like this for several days, passing through several county towns under the county's jurisdiction for supplies, and no accidents occurred. The atmosphere in the team gradually became more relaxed, and even the handymen were talking and laughing.
"I heard that after the official escort transportation is completed, the escort agency will make a lot of money."
"No matter how much money you make, it all goes into the pockets of the gentlemen. What does it have to do with us trash fishes?"
"Before escort chief Wang left, he promised that if the goods arrive safely in the city of Xianggao County, we can enjoy the place for three days. During this period, all the food, drinks and entertainment will be reimbursed by the escort agency."
"Oh, you have to take a good stroll. I heard that the southern part of the country is the territory of the southern barbarians. Slave traders often capture barbarian girls and sell them to brothels. Maybe"
……
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
The convoy stopped just as it left the boundary of Qinghe County. There was a mountain trail in front of it.
The low mountains on both sides are lush and green, and there are mountains in the distance. There is only one way to enter Zangcang, so naturally the team will send a team of explorers to check for safety first.
"How's it going? What's the news from the front?"
A carriage in the center opened its curtain, revealing a square face. There is only one person in the entire convoy who can sit in the car, and that is the head escort Wang.
The attendant on horseback hurriedly reported, "Dear escort, the sentry in front has not returned yet!"
"How long?"
"About a quarter of an hour!"
Guard Wang frowned and looked around. Everyone in the team was suffering from the scorching sun. Due to the rules, he had to endure it. He turned around and asked the guide:
"How far is it from the county town of Zangda?"
"About 150 miles, there is a county town 30 miles away not far ahead where you can rest."
Spreading out the map, Wang Biao glanced at it and understood that the guide should be talking about Yongchang County ahead.
Thirty miles is not far. If you hurry up, you might be able to go to the city to have afternoon tea. It doesn't make sense for your subordinates to stay here all the time.
The most important thing is that this shipment is of great importance and must be delivered on time. If it is delayed, it will be difficult to deliver the goods afterwards.
Bouncer Wang weighed the situation briefly and waved his hand. "No need to wait for the outpost, everyone, work harder, there is a county seat 30 miles away where you can rest!"
There was a burst of cheers in the team, the riding whip was waved again, and the motorcade started to move slowly.
……
When passing through the valley ahead, Lin Shan, who was leaning on the escort car, moved his buttocks and was about to change his position to continue taking a nap when he suddenly heard a whistle from the surrounding mountains.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the surrounding mountains and forests were densely packed with birds flying into the sky.
"What sound?"
"I don't know, does this valley have a place name?"
"It seems to be called Luofengpo?"
"This name is not very auspicious."
……
Before he could react, Lin Shan suddenly heard a "pop" sound in his ears. He quickly turned his head and saw that an arrow was firmly nailed to the frame of the car behind him. The arrow had already sunk into the wood and could only be seen outside. The arrow shaft is still shaking!
"I'll wipe it!"
Lin Shan was so frightened that he jumped down and touched his ear. He was afraid that the arrow just flew past his ear! Just a few inches off, and he'd be shot in the head!
At this time, the surroundings suddenly became denser.
"Whoops!"
"Boohoo!"
"Poof!"
"Puff!"
……
Arrows shot out from the dense forest on both sides. Crowds of people rushed around, horses were frightened and neighed, and from time to time someone fell down after being hit by an arrow.
"There's an ambush!"
Lin Shan didn't have time to think too much. His strong desire to survive urged him to find a bunker and hide.
Seeing someone hiding under the wheels of the escort carriage in the chaos, Lin Shan quickly got under the carriage behind him in a good manner.
Then I discovered that there was someone hiding under the car, it was none other than.
"Master Pu?"
"What are you shouting about, brat?"
Master Pu took his time and stretched out his hand from under the car. He still had time to take off the water bag from the car and put it on his waist.
Lin Shan couldn't help but be speechless. Where did he promise to take care of me? I hide my anger here without saying a word!
However, Lin Shan also knew in his heart that if people were just being polite, who would have time to care about others when a disaster was imminent.
After a shower of arrows, groups of men in black jumped out of the mountains on both sides, wearing black scarves and black cloths covering their faces. I roughly estimated that on the 20th or 30th, I rushed into the escort team with a knife in hand without saying a word.
"Which hero is going against my Lin Escort Agency? If you do something convenient today, you will definitely be rewarded in the future!"
A long roar came from Linshan's car. He peeked out from under the car. A figure flashed in the team in front. Wang Biaotou jumped up with a gun in his mouth. He said beautiful words, but his attacks were extremely ruthless.
Stabbing and flicking the spear in his hand, the two men in black fell to the ground, seemingly dead.
A man also came out from the opposite side of the dense forest. He looked like a leader. He took over the charge of the king's escort. He had a cunning and vicious long sword in his hand. He fought back and forth with the king's escort. He even had the skills to command his men while fighting.
"The leader of this assassin is also a first-class master!"
Lin Shan hid under the car, his palms so nervous that they were all sweaty. Most of the escorts and robbers around him were in close combat, but it seemed that the difference in force between the two sides was huge and the situation was one-sided.
The battle group of Wang Biaotou and the leader of the men in black was filled with smoke and dust, swords and gun shadows were raging, and both parties were vaguely intending to avoid it. A top-notch master has perfected his strength and imparted his true energy to his weapons. A stick of firewood can crack rocks and open monuments.
Without talent, battles between top masters in the world are almost rare.
"Master Pu! What should we do!"
Master Pu held him down with his calloused hands and looked through the wheels, observing the situation on the field with a sly look. His tone was calm: "It seems that Mr. Wang is at a disadvantage. Don't rush out yet."
"Shouldn't we go out to help when escort Wang is at a disadvantage? Otherwise, we won't be able to run away after Mr. Wang has finished playing!"
Lin Shan said hurriedly, but did not move his feet, staring straight at Master Pu. He always felt that it was reliable to follow the veteran escort. After all, if he could survive forty years as an escort, he must have rich experience.
"Uh-huh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an escort guy fall to the ground outside the car. The man in black who killed him wiped the blood on the knife on the body. The moment he turned his head, his eyes happened to meet Lin Shan under the car.
