The next day, Jian Shan's carriage fleet set off. There were four carriages in total. The first carriage was obviously for Jian Shan to ride, while the other three were for loading goods.
The goods were nailed in wooden boxes, five on each carriage. They seemed to be very heavy, and the wheels were squeaking under the pressure. The goods were covered in gray canvas and tied tightly with ropes.
After leaving the city, the group began to walk on the main road.
Inuzuka Michi walked on the left, Uchiha Kaoru on the right, and Ye Yong at the back, walking expressionlessly.
The other guards stood guard around the carriage, their expressions filled with killing intent, giving people the impression that they were not to be trifled with.
Moreover, Ye Yong and the other two were wearing Mu Ye's Ninja Bracers, so the bandits who wanted to attack the convoy in the Country of Fire would have to think twice.
The journey was very boring. Ye Yong did not seem to be acting strangely, but Inuzuka Tong gradually revealed a trace of impatience. He looked at the carriage that Jianshan was in, as if he really wanted to hitch a ride and relax.
Uchiha Kaoru's expression was also a little subtle, as if she was very unhappy that she could not secretly watch Ye Yong's back from behind.
The guards did not take the initiative to talk to the three of them, probably because they looked down on them.
On the other hand, the female guard, who was walking at the back, actually made a tired appearance and sat on the cargo carriage at the back. It did not seem like something a guard would do at all. The other guards also pretended not to see it.
The female guard seemed a little bored. She looked curiously at Ye Yong, who had a cold expression on his face. After staring at him for a long time, she suddenly said,
"Hey, you, how old are you this year?"
The woman's voice was slightly mature and contained a hoarse tone.
Ye Yong looked at her for a year without any intention of replying.
She wasn't the employer, so there was no need for Ye Yong to pay attention to her. He was already a man of few words, so he didn't want to talk to her at this time.
Seeing that Ye Yong did not reply, the female guard rolled her eyes and ignored him.
On the first day, they did not reach the second city, so they started a bonfire outside to rest.
The guards took turns to be on night duty, looking very orderly.
Ye Yong leaned to the side and waited quietly.
"Ye Yongjun, you must be tired after walking for a day. You should rest for a while.”Uchiha walked over, her face slightly red as she sat next to Ye Yong. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Ye Yong nodded and did not refuse. He closed his eyes and began to recover his strength.
Uchiha Kaoru had no intention of scouting her surroundings. Instead, she stared at Ye Yong's sleeping face with an indescribable expression. She had no intention of taking her eyes off him.
"Ahem." Inuzuka Tong pretended to cough.
"What's wrong, Tongjun?" Uchiha turned her head around. Although her expression was puzzled, her eyes were filled with displeasure, but she did not show it.
"No, no…It was nothing. Why don't you sleep for a while, Kaori? I'll keep watch. Kuromaru and I have sharp noses. If there's someone sneaking around, it's impossible for them to hide from us.”Inuzuka Tong hurriedly said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Tongjun. I'm not sleepy.”Uchiha smiled and turned to look at Ye Yong.
Inuzuka Tong scratched his head and walked to the side.
In the middle of the night, the female guard entered Jian Shan's carriage…
.....
The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, Uchiha continued walking listlessly.
Even if Ye Yong woke up in the middle of the night and let him rest, she still couldn't fall asleep. Because she thought that Ye Yong might see her, she couldn't let Ye Yong see her sleeping posture, so she pretended to be asleep.
Reality proved that she was overthinking things. Ye Yong's gaze barely looked at her.
The atmosphere in the team seemed very strange. Ye Yong and the other two did not have the mood to communicate with the guards, and the guards were the same.
In addition, Ye Yong was very puzzled when the female guard entered Jian Shan's carriage in the middle of the night. He paid a little attention to this woman who had spoken to him yesterday.
Other than a few refugees who had starved to death in the forest, nothing else happened.
As for the corpses, Jian Shan had actually ordered them to be buried. Ye Yong did not understand, but he did not say anything, nor did he take the initiative to dig a hole.
The two-day journey arrived at a city. The convoy simply checked into an inn. Ye Yong was responsible for guarding the carriage for the night. Naturally, there were several ordinary guards accompanying him.
On the third day, the strange atmosphere of silence in the team rose to the peak. Ye Yong was used to it, and he did not like chattering.
However, Inuzuka Tong seemed to be suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere, his expression becoming more and more irritated.
"What's going on? Are all missions like this? Why is no one talking? I'm not happy, I'm really not happy." Inuzuka Tong couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
The black ball seemed to have sensed his dissatisfaction and howled twice to comfort him.
From the third day onwards, the female guard had been in Jian Shan's carriage. It was unknown what she was doing inside.
On the fourth day, they finally arrived at the so-called Third Ring Mountain Forest. Ye Yong's vigilance had not been lowered, but considering that there would be a sudden attack from the mountain bandits, his hand was always on the ninja tool at his waist.
After entering the official road of the Third Ring Mountain Forest, Jian Shan revealed his head and told everyone to be careful. Then, he returned to the carriage.
Suddenly, there was a crack!
The wheels of the carriage in front of Ye Yong hit a bumpy rock. It lost its balance and fell out of the wooden box. The wooden box hit the rock directly and a wooden board was crushed.
"What's wrong?" Inuzuka Tong immediately cried out and turned around. He realized that it was just a drop of goods, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
However, he immediately glanced over and found a golden light coming out of the crushed wooden box. His five senses were very sharp, and his eyes were naturally sharp. At this moment, he looked at a corner and it was actually
"Gold!" The young Inuzuka Tong immediately cried out.
Could it be that these wooden boxes were filled with gold? Wasn't he just a small noble? Why did he have so much gold? What kind of business was he going to do with such a large amount of gold?
A series of questions flashed in his mind.
At this moment, Jian Shan walked out with an unsightly expression. The convoy stopped, and his expression was somewhat solemn. He glanced at the expressionless Ye Yong and the shocked Inuzuka Tong, but did not explain anything. Instead, he shouted at the guard,
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and move the goods!"
One of the guards immediately obeyed the order and returned the wooden box to its original position.
Jianshan took a closer look at Ye Yong and realized that this little brat was actually expressionless when he saw the gold. He looked completely different from Inuzuka Tong.
After the wooden box returned to its original position, he stood there and hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering something.
Ye Yong waited for a moment. Seeing that he was no longer speaking, he couldn't help but tilt his head and say,""Not leaving?"
Hearing this, Jian Shan was stunned for a moment. Then, he waved his hand and said with a stern face,
"Continue forward!"
