The worried bandits did not appear, but the doubts in Inuzuka Tong's heart gradually grew. He could no longer stand still, and while he was resting at night, he went up to Ye Yong and whispered,"
"Hey, you saw it too, right? Gold, oh gold. This kind of thing was very rare even among the leaves. Why did this so-called small noble merchant have so much gold?”
Ye Yong was originally lowering his head, but after hearing his words, he couldn't help but raise his head. Then, his eyes suddenly became incomparably sharp. He realized that almost all the guards 'gazes were focused on him. It was very unusual!
From his observations over the past few days, he could tell that the guards were very careful with the goods and paid attention to the three of them. Almost every night, there was a pair of eyes staring at the three of them.
However, one of them was from Uchiha.
It was as if these people were not only worried about the bandits, but also the three of them.
Towards Inuzuka Tong's question, Ye Yong merely looked at him indifferently and said,""Mission."
The meaning behind it was naturally,'Escorting is our mission, we don't need to care about other things.'
Inuzuka Tong and Ye Yong had known each other for a long time, so he naturally understood what Ye Yong meant. He let out a long sigh and suppressed the curiosity in his heart, not saying anything more.
Then, Uchiha Kaoru, who was sitting not far away from Ye Yong, leaned over and said,""Ye Yongjun, you should rest. I'll help you keep an eye on him.”
To her, she didn't care about the so-called mission at all. What she cared about was the process of going on a mission with Ye Yong.
However, Ye Yong shook his head this time. The guards 'abnormal behavior had already alerted him. He would not close his eyes and rest easily again.
As if she had thought of something, Ye Yong turned to Uchiha and said in a low voice,""Don't sleep tonight."
Uchiha Kaoru's face turned red when she heard that. She understood that it meant 'don't sleep tonight, accompany me'. She nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, her face filled with joy.
Ye Yong looked at her with some doubt, but he didn't care much. The reason why he asked her not to sleep was to be wary of these guards.
The night was silent, except for the crackling of the bonfire.
Naturally, the guards did not do anything that would harm the three of them.
The atmosphere became even more solemn, especially after the gold was exposed. In a day, Jian Shan had actually peeked out thirty-six times to size up Ye Yong and the other two. Ye Yong had memorized all these times.
It wasn't that Ye Yong was bored. His memory was already outstanding, and he had already attracted Ye Yong's attention when Jianshan showed his face for the fourth time.
The female guard also walked out of Jian Shan's carriage and sat on the cargo carriage at the back. Although her gaze seemed to be unintentional, it was always sizing up Ye Yong and the other two.
Ye Yong had seen all of these abnormalities and remembered them in his heart. However, Ye Yong's temperament was not one to make a move on gold. Even if the three carts of gold had contributed greatly to Mu Ye's finances, he would not have any thoughts of snatching it. He was only following his mission. It was his mission to deliver the goods safely.
Other than that, he would not think of anything else.
However, his thoughts were naturally not obvious enough for Jianshan to understand.
His deadpan face made Jian Shan even more fearful, to the point that he even ignored his age.
Inuzuka Tong was the most uncomfortable of them all. He would turn his head from time to time, appearing extremely irritated. However, Ye Yong did not show any signs of reaction, so he would not take the initiative to do anything.
Moreover, he had never thought of hijacking the carriage. He was just curious about the goods that might be three carriages of gold.
He knew that there must be a reason for the abnormality. If he had found out that the goods were gold from the beginning, he would have secretly asked Black Ball to send a message to Mu Ye.
It was said that the journey would take about a week, but as expected, they arrived at Linyu City on the seventh day.
Jianshan walked out of the carriage with an obvious relieved expression. There was still a smile on his face.
Entering Linyu City, what greeted his eyes was a bustling crowd, as well as countless carriages of goods. There were also merchants dressed in the clothes of other countries discussing business with others.
"It has been hard on the three of you along the way.”The first thing Jian Shan said when he entered the city was such a polite greeting.
Ye Yong nodded.
"This is enough for the escort mission. This is the rest of the reward, please accept it.”Jian Shan smiled as he took out the reward and handed it to Ye Yong. Because in his eyes, Ye Yong was the central character of the three of them.
After Ye Yong received it, he carefully opened it and counted the money inside. After confirming that there was no mistake, he nodded and was about to leave.
But at this moment, a dignified voice suddenly sounded.
"It's so slow. It's a little later than the scheduled time.”
When Jianshan heard the voice, his expression turned cold and he hurriedly turned around.
Ye Yong looked up and saw a young man with long hair wearing a mask. Behind him were a few men with extraordinary auras.
The moment he saw the long-haired man, Ye Yong's pupils shrank imperceptibly, and his arms kept moving towards his waist.
Jian Shan bowed to the man and said some extremely flattering words.
"Muye's ninja?" The long-haired man seemed to have seen through Ye Yong's little trick. He looked at the wooden leaf bracer on Ye Yong's forehead and muttered.
"It's like this. In order to prevent the possibility of a mountain bandit attack, I entrusted the Ninja of Muye to escort them.”Jianshan explained.
"Yes, I am. Since the mission is completed, you can leave.”The long-haired man looked at Ye Yong and the other two and waved his hand.
Ye Yong looked at Jian Shan's back and noticed that there were beads of sweat on his neck. He could not help but narrow his eyes. Then, he nodded his head and called for Xun and the other to leave the city. He had no intention of staying and resting.
Although Kaoru and Kaoru were a little confused, they still followed behind Ye Yong and strode out of the sight of Jianshan and the others.
"Well done. Entrusting the Leaf Ninjas can make them let down their guard.”The long-haired man, who was wearing a mask, spoke in a low voice as he spoke to Kanayama Ichiichi.
"Heh, Lord Hanzang, I was so scared that I almost attacked. I thought that the guys from Muye had discovered something. It turned out that they were just a group of young people who had come out to see the world.”A guy behind the young man named Hanzang laughed.
"Heh, there's an interesting little fellow among them who seems to have discovered our ninja identities.”Banzang laughed coldly.
"Hmm? How about this?" The subordinate who spoke made a throat-cutting gesture.
" No, it's not good to kill these three brats and attract Mu Ye's attention. This time, we discovered a small gold mine in the Fire Country, so we have to dig it out carefully. This will be of great use to the Country of Rain. Currently, there's war, so we need money to buy a large number of weapons to protect ourselves.”Hanzang waved his hand.
"That... Lord Hanzang, these three brats seem to have discovered that our goods are gold…" Jian Shan hesitated for a moment before he stammered.
"What?!" Hanzang's eyes widened when he heard that. He grabbed Kanayama's neck and glared at him.
A moment later, he put down Jian Shan and said expressionlessly to his subordinates behind him,"
"Go and get rid of those three brats. Also,"
Hanzura looked at the guards behind Kanayama, his eyes filled with killing intent.
