Chapter 378 Treasure Hunting like this
Early the next morning, a team of escorts came to Jixiang Inn.
Pomegranate, who was wearing a sleeveless dress, led Hu Zhen and others downstairs.
The escort surnamed Ma came up to him, "Miss Li, are you ready to go?"
"Let's go!" Pomegranate nodded and jumped onto the carriage with a quick step. clean.
All the escorts couldn't help but look sideways.
Departure.
The leader of the horse escort led half of the escorts to lead the way, with Pomegranate and others in the middle, and half of the escorts at the end guarding the tail.
The group of people drove away from the Jixiang Inn and headed towards the city gate. They stood out in the morning market that was gradually becoming noisy and lively.
"Hey, isn't this the head of the horse escort? Are you getting escorts again?" A man in a fine robe drinking morning tea on the roadside looked at the group approaching and looked at the carriage in the middle. "Another escort?"
The head of the horse escort ignored him at all, and just jumped over him and continued to move forward.
The man spat and shouted to the carriage: "Why did you hire this Ma Chun escort? Last year, Ma Chun picked up an escort to escort someone to Weiming Mansion, but he ended up halfway there. We encountered bandits. The girl's master and servants were all kidnapped by the bandits, and the bodyguards were also killed and injured a lot. Don't you be afraid to ask him to escort the bodyguards? Something happened!”
Ma Chun’s face became dark when he heard this man yelling like this. Because of this, there were fewer and fewer people working for their Weifeng Escort Bureau, and it was almost impossible to do business anymore. , it was not easy to get a big escort, and he was afraid that the guest would suddenly regret not to see him after hearing this.
Although the deposit was non-refundable, he would earn a lot of money after completing the escort trip, and he didn’t want to just stop it.
He glanced at the carriage subconsciously, and then said to Zuo Cheng who was walking beside him: "Don't listen to this man's nonsense. Meeting bandits when going out is not something that our escort agency could have expected. Those who were there at that time There were so many bandits that we had no choice but to resist, and in the end we could only watch the escort being snatched away by the bandits - but we reported it to the authorities afterwards and tried our best to help the authorities rescue the girl! "
Just for that dart, they ended up paying money, and the dartmaster also suffered heavy losses. Even he was seriously injured and it took him a long time to recover.
Nowadays, their escorts are short of manpower. Because of their reputation, they don’t dare to go further to pick up escorts.
Fortunately, God doesn’t want to see their escort agency close down. Here comes this big business. It’s not far outside Fucheng. The price is high, and the work is simple. I just help them there. Looking for medicinal materials in Yangu Mountain.
Speaking of this, Ma Chun was not only happy but also puzzled all night long. As a native of Wannan Prefecture, he was familiar with Yangu Mountain, but he had never heard of any rare things in Yangu Mountain. The medicinal materials are worth the trouble and high price of hiring an escort to help find them.
He thought, what medicinal materials are so valuable?
He vaguely felt that Miss Li was too willful.
Miss Li, who has a lot of money and willfulness, did not take it seriously when she heard the shouting outside the carriage. She is not good at escorting? Who cares about this.
A good escort agency has to ask questions here and there to ask for a escort and there are many rules. This escort agency is very good if it can't be opened soon. If you have an escort, you will be very grateful. Why do you care so much!
The man in the fine robe yelled a lot and was upset when he saw that the people in the carriage didn't even lift the curtain to take a look.
He and Ma Chun are opposite neighbors and have a lot of conflicts. They just hate Ma Chun and wish that his prestigious escort agency could not continue to operate.
When a man at the next table saw this, he couldn't help but answer, "It's strange to say that I heard that this man from out of town hired Wei Feng Escort to look for some medicinal materials in Yangu Mountain!"
"Looking for it!" Medicinal materials?" The man in the thin robe turned to look at him, "Why haven't I heard anyone say that there are any good medicinal materials in Yangu Mountain that are worthy of outsiders coming all the way to find?"
"Who knows! The person who is leading the charge is still a young girl! Maybe her family is rich and willful? Are you out touring the mountains and rivers for fun?"
Said unintentionally, Listening to it, the two idle men on the street heard the conversation clearly. They looked at each other, wandered away from the crowd, and stopped in a secluded alley. One person said: "I think it's weird to be looking for medicinal materials! I was walking in the market some time ago, and I heard the woodcutter say that strangers can always be seen near Yangu Mountain. I don't know what I'm looking for there! A few days ago, I met the woodcutter again. The woodcutter said that he saw a lot of strangers in the Yan Valley, one after another, very famous! "
"But what can we find? Is there any treasure there?" Another person said.
The two of them said, you look at me and I look at you, and they both saw the light in each other's eyes.
"What if we are really looking for some treasure? How can such a good thing be left out of us? I will follow first, and you go find Mazi and they will follow later!"
——
The Yan Valley is located thirty miles south of Wannan Fucheng. It passes through two small villages along the way and gets off the official road, becoming increasingly quiet.
There were escorts leading the way, and they kept going all the way. When they saw the entrance of the valley, the sun was rising very high.
Today is a rare good weather, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is as clear as blue.
Once here, the carriages and horses can no longer go inside.
Pomegranate left two guards outside the valley to guard the carriages and horses, while the others and the bodyguards walked into the valley.
A path winds and extends inside.
On the left hand side is a large area of rhododendrons in full bloom, which looks like a blazing fire from a distance. On the right hand side is a gurgling stream that is as winding as a path. The water is so clear that you can see fish swimming in it. Playing happily in the water.
In the distance at the end of the path, there are mountains and green mountains. The mountains are high and densely forested. The ancient trees are towering and lush, like a large piece of flawless and silky green satin.
A few birds and insects occasionally came from the valley, which was like a dream and not like the human world.
"Miss Li, I don't know what medicinal materials you are looking for? What does this medicinal material look like? Can you show us?" Ma Chun came up and asked.
Now that we have entered the valley, it is natural to do things well. The sooner we find the medicinal materials, the sooner they will finish the escort, right?
Shiliu glanced at the mountains in the distance and said, "Maybe it's over there. The mountains are so big and it's easy to get lost if you're not careful. I think it's better for us to walk together and not separate."
When Ma Chun heard this, he naturally didn't want to say much. It was rare for him to accept an escort, so he could do whatever his employer said!
Now the group of people marched towards the mountains in a mighty manner.
It looks close, but in fact it is not close when walking. It took a full two-quarters of an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, the sun has already risen to the sky, but it is covered by big trees in the mountains. Not only does it feel hot, but it is also cool.
Pomegranate looked at the stream flowing down from the mountain, and found an open space for everyone to sit down, rest, and eat something to cushion their stomachs.
I knew that those who were out for a while today would not be able to return to the city, so I had prepared some snacks for these eaters early on. Each of them also brought a water bag. Eat and drink. It is not too late to fill up your stomach before going up the mountain.
They stopped to eat, but the people hidden in the forest frowned impatiently.
Ke Ziqing thought to himself that he had never seen such a calm and unhurried person.
We have arrived at Yangu Mountain. If we don’t rush to find the treasure, we still have time to eat.
Unlike them, they were waiting here last night.
