Chapter 70 Bodyguard Xie Yuan (Part 1)
Early the next morning, Xie Yuan put on a brand new bodyguard uniform, carried his knife and axe, and came to the compound to wait.
After a while, the escort team members arrived one after another, and soon formed a team of about ten people, including Zhao Xingyang and Qin Hai.
The escort team of ten people is already quite large, especially the fact that Zhao Xingyang personally leads the team, which is enough to illustrate the value of the three escort cars in the middle.
When the people and cars were all lined up neatly, Zhao Xingyang glanced at it and saw that they were all ready, he looked at Xie Yuan and said with a smile:
"Xie Escort, I didn't forget to bring my ax."
Xie Yuan touched his tiger bone ax and replied:
"This old guy is still handy, he can do it on the road. "Chop firewood for everyone."
Everyone in the escort team laughed, and someone said:
"Last time I saw Xiao Xie helping people chop wood behind the dining hall, the cook was so scared that he thought he had done something wrong. What happened?”
"Ah? Is there still such a thing? Thanks to you, you have not forgotten your roots."
"A thirty-year-old woodcutter who is only sixteen years old, right?"
Everyone Xie Yuan didn't take the friendly teasing seriously and chuckled:
“There is no way, if I don’t chop some firewood every day, I won’t feel at ease.”
In fact, of course, it’s not because he likes to chop firewood, but because he left Xiaoshi Village, the logging business was suspended, and there was no environment. The progress of wood chopping is too slow.
But if there are no conditions, create conditions.
There are hundreds of people in such a large escort agency. They eat, drink, cook medicine and bathe without using firewood. The firewood in the firewood room is piled as high as a hill.
There are four basic necessities for people’s livelihood: firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Firewood ranks first, which naturally makes sense.
So Xie Yuan went to help on a voluntary basis when he was free. After entering the firewood shed, he followed the mice in the rice vat and chopped the firewood. He did not have to cut down the trees himself, and there was still plenty of firewood. He couldn't finish the splitting at all, but his wish came true.
The skill of chopping firewood is his old roots, and the ability to comprehend is infinitely powerful, so he really can't forget his roots.
But others didn't know it. They saw him as having some harmless quirks.
The escorts concluded one after another:
“It’s true that he is too addicted to cheating.”
Zhao Xingyang waved his hand:
“Being well prepared is also a good thing. . It’s not too early, now that everyone is ready, let’s set off now!”
Everyone was refreshed and lined up one by one. A guard held a flag and led the front line. They walked out of the escort agency gate and shouted:
"Yunzhou Longteng, Longteng Yunzhou!"
The escort team filed out, with strong men and horses, and gradually headed outside the city.
The Longteng Escort Agency is not yet equipped to have one horse per man, but the escorts can ride horses. After all, as the backbone of the combat force, the status and mobility of the escorts are very important, and they can also be regarded as the welfare and benefits of the escorts. Reflection of status.
So Xie Yuan was given a horse this time, but he was crooked on the horse and had some difficulties.
I haven’t ridden one before, so I can’t.
Although it is not difficult to sit upright with his physique, the horse always seems to have its own ideas.
Fortunately, Zhao Xingyang could see his embarrassment at a glance and rode directly next to him:
"Straighten your back, look forward, and don't let your legs loose..."
< br>Xie Yuan did as he was told and was much better.
As a result, a row of words suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
【Equestrian: (1/10)】
Is this okay?
Tsk, my understanding is too high.
Xie Yuan practiced for a while and saw that his equestrian skills had improved a bit, and his riding became more and more stable, and he gradually stopped looking like a fool.
Zhao Xingyang saw that he was familiar with him and nodded approvingly:
“It’s very fast to get started.”
Seeing that Xie Yuan was having a great time, he asked again:
“ It's your first time as an escort, and it's your second time on a mission. Are you nervous? ""Fortunately, we have so many people, and you have Mr. Zhao leading the team. Ordinary Xiaoxiao should just run away."
Xie Yuan felt that with such a large escort team, the escorts should be stable most of the time.
Zhao Xingyang smiled slightly:
"The average Xiaoxiao runs away, but the one who doesn't escape is not an ordinary Xiaoxiao."
Xie Yuan shuddered, this is the reason.
“But there shouldn’t be many capable bandits?”
"Not many. But in fact, we still often run into trouble, and the same goes for the escort team. Even the bigger it is, the easier it is.
"When you have more people, others will know that your escorts are valuable. Money attracts people's hearts. Once they are greedy, those desperadoes will not care about anything else, not caring about your strength or his. If you have the brains to suppress your greed, how can you become a robber? Haha, there is an old saying in Green Forest, "Wealth and wealth can be found in danger", and they regard it as a guideline. "
Zhao Xingyang smiled.
"Since the large group of people is conspicuous, what about reducing the manpower and only sending elites when encountering light darts and expensive darts? I also heard that there are such things as hidden darts and open darts. ”
Xie Yuan is very curious about these rules. Although he is an escort, he is actually a newcomer in the industry.
Zhao Xingyang shook his head:
"With fewer manpower, the risk is also high. What if we encounter a group of robbers? So the escort agency still requires stability. If the manpower is sufficient, it will use hard power and do what it can. If you can't continue, you will break up. Therefore, there are often not many escort agencies in a place, but as long as it is a famous escort agency, its strength cannot be weak.
"As for the others, those are special circumstances. Looking back slowly, this escort trip will take several days, which is enough for you to learn. "
Xie Yuan nodded and walked An Xin in the center of the escort team.
The next day, Xie Yuan understood the necessity of the existence of the escort team.
A group of twenty or thirty refugees blocked the escort team's way.
“Look, these people are holding hoes and sticks, but they still dare to stop us.”
Zhao Xingyang said to Xie Yuan:
“Maybe they won’t stop us today. I’m going to starve to death.”
Xie Yuan frowned slightly:
"Isn't this the year of peace?"
"That's why there are only twenty or thirty people."
Zhao Xingyang smiled faintly.
Xie Yuan then remembered that every winter, there were often people in the village who could not survive.
He acquiesced that in good times everyone had enough to eat and clothing to wear, but that was an old concept from his previous life.
In fact, here, as long as there is no famine, it can be called a year of peace.
No famine and everyone having food to eat are two different things.
Seeing Xie Yuan's silence, Zhao Xingyang continued:
"Refugees are the predecessors of bandits, and they can even be more ruthless than bandits. Bandits still have scruples after living a good life, but refugees can do anything for food. Regardless. It doesn’t matter that we are not afraid of them. If someone else encounters them, or if we accidentally stumble upon them, the outcome will be very miserable.
“Xiao Xie, go and get rid of them. ”
Xie Yuan nodded, rode his horse forward, and drew his sword out of its sheath.
When the leader on the other side saw this, his eyes became fierce, he let out a meaningless howl of "Ah", and rushed up with a hoe.
With a puff, Xie Yuan stabbed the leader in the chest with his knife, and then chopped down two homeless people who had lost their sense and rushed up. Only then did they calm these people down, and they dispersed in an instant.
Xie Yuan shook off the blood beads on the knife, sheathed the knife, and threw the three corpses to the roadside, indicating that the escort could pass.
Zhao Xingyang nodded slightly:
"You are not a soft-hearted person. Only by being ruthless can you practice martial arts well. Otherwise, no matter how high your kung fu is, it will be in vain."
Qin Hai muttered:
"You are so handsome, but in the end, He likes to use a big ax, and he is a ruthless character at first glance. You are worried for nothing, boss.”
