The sky was slightly bright.
Under the lead of Cao Fei and the advisor, the group rode four to five horses and pushed three two-wheeled carts that were covered with tarpaulins. They left Yanggu County silently.
They were on their way to Tokyo.
The team of twenty people was pulled back by more than ten meters.
Cao Fei was still alright. He was wearing a felt hat on his head. The advisor's physique was weaker. He held a palm-leaf fan and kept fanning his ears. The hand holding the fan was already weak.
The bailiffs acted like they were celebrating the new year. They rushed to the tea shop." Boss, what's good to eat and drink? Hurry up and bring it over."”
In an instant, the entire team was cut into two.
Cao Fei frowned as he glanced at it. He had a bad feeling.
He didn't expect that the bailiffs he relied on would behave so badly. Instead, they were lucky. The men he hired to work as coolies were disciplined and orderly.
In a short while, the two groups of people had surrounded the tea shop.
Cao Fei and the advisor sat alone at a table. The advisor saw that Cao Fei was frowning and had a lot on his mind, so he tried to comfort him,"Chief Cao, don't worry. This old man has traveled far and wide when I was young. Although the road is not peaceful now, let's walk slowly and conserve our strength. Even if we encounter danger, we can turn misfortune into fortune.”
Cao Fei wasn't as optimistic as him. He looked at the two groups of people and didn't say anything.
On the other hand, the dozen or so coolies of the carriage line also occupied three square tables. They drank tea and ate the white steamed buns served by the tea shop. There was almost no discussion.
"There's no need!"
Cao Fei was not worried about this.
However, these words couldn't be said directly.
Cao Fei hesitated for a moment and asked,"" Grand Master is the old man's right-hand man. With your protection, things will be much more stable. I just don't know if there's any danger and you need a leader to give orders. At that time…"
The advisor was also a shrewd person. He immediately understood the subtext in Cao Fei's words and laughed."This old man is a scholar with a weak body. How can I be of great use?”
Cao Fei sighed inwardly." That's good.”
After the group ate the hot food, they rested for a while. When the sun was slightly west, they were urged to set off.
On the first day, they traveled 80 miles, gradually leaving the jurisdiction of the Daming Mansion and entering the territory of Qingzhou.
Although they took the official road, it was fine at first.
It was a lot more strenuous.
Everyone slowed down.
On the second day, they only covered 50 miles.
As evening approached, everyone clamored to rest.
Cao Fei held the map alone and looked at it as he walked. He felt that there was a mountain with two peaks not far ahead. He was shocked and quickly turned his horse around. He pressed the line and came to the group of laborers pushing the cart at the back.
"Don't rest. Before the sky turns dark, walk across the mountain in front of you in one breath and find a place to rest.”
Cao Fei's objection immediately angered the bailiffs.
The advisor also rode his horse over and asked in a low voice,"Chief Cao, is there anything wrong with the mountain in front?”
Cao Fei put away the map and pointed at the mountain mist ahead.""Look, Grand Master, those two mountains are the humps of camels. They are called Twin Peak Mountains. It is said that a group of strong people occupied them and changed their name to Twin Dragon Mountains.”
The advisor's expression turned grave when he heard Cao Fei's serious words.
However, the leader of the laborers who pulled the carriage comforted him,"Chief Cao, with you leading the way, how can there be any petty thieves who are blind enough to come out and seek death? Before we set off, the steward had instructed us that we must listen to orders when we work for the county government. There are more than ten of us here, and we are not just for show.”
As he spoke, he took out a large knife from under the tarpaulin of the cart.
The other coolies followed suit and took out their broadswords from the handcart. Each of them held one in their hands.
Coupled with that dark face, Lorraine? His arm was indescribably domineering.
Cao Fei and the advisor looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief. They were pleasantly surprised as if they had stepped on a wallet while walking in the dark.
Cao Fei had an idea and added another chip.
"I've already discussed the wages with your manager beforehand. If this trip goes smoothly, everything will be the same as before. If we encounter any difficulties and need everyone's help, I'll give some rewards to everyone.”
"Awesome!"
"Of course I'm listening to the commander-in-chief's orders. If anyone is blind and wants to rob us, just pick up your weapons and kill them!”
After stabilizing the morale of the troops, Cao Fei ordered everyone to dismount and quietly pass through the Twin Dragon Mount.
