Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

Perhaps it was because of the prestige of Shunfeng Escort Agency that this escort trip was incredibly smooth.

The expected escort robbery incidents and the love and hatred in the world did not appear, which made Lin Zhongtian, who had been looking forward to fun, a little disappointed.

According to Pan Yunpeng, since the village where the Shunfeng Escort Bureau was robbed and killed was massacred, no brave man on this road dared to break the rules of the four major Escort Bureaus in the capital.

The escort team passed through a lot of cottages along the way, and almost every house received three gifts.

After accepting the wine, some villages gave the escort team a return gift, which was a large red flag with the words "bon voyage" and "a bright future" written on it.

Pan Yunpeng explained that this is a unique rule of local green forest heroes.

When a patrolman sees this flag, he must report it immediately and then close the village for a day so that the escort team can pass with confidence. If anyone dares to break this rule, the escort agency will join forces with other villages to destroy them.

Lin Zhongtian has always been very interested in these rules of the world.

He found that the relationship between the escort agency and the village was somewhat ambiguous. .

Many times, the relationship between the escort bureau and the copycat is actually more cordial and friendly than the relationship between the escort bureau and the copycat, and the relationship between the copycat and the copycat. The latter two will also quarrel with each other, but the former firmly abide by the rule.

Lin Zhongtian also expressed his understanding of this. After all, colleagues are enemies and there is a lot of competition.

However, the escort agency and the cottage are interdependent and need each other.

Without these green forest heroes, the escort agency would have no meaning of existence.

A few days later, the escort suddenly stopped at the foot of a high mountain.

Pan Yunpeng ordered people to prepare silver and silk, and he personally carried two jars of fine wine. He came to the carriage with a smile on his face and asked Lin Zhongtian and Doctor Zhang if they wanted to go up the mountain to have a drink together.

Lin Zhongtian immediately realized that the cottage here should be one of the strongholds of the Alliance.

Out of curiosity, Lin Zhongtian agreed to Pan Yunpeng's invitation and took Yang Suhua and Zhang Yan's father and daughter up the mountain together.

Encountering many hidden sentries along the way, Pan Yunpeng greeted them one by one, and with a smile on his face, he asked them to go back to the village to have a drink together.

If they were real bandits, they would definitely agree without hesitation when they heard the word "drinking", but these people were not bandits after all. Faced with Pan Yunpeng's warm greeting, they just smiled and refused.

At most, he would come out and hug Pan Yunpeng, and then return to his job.

Lin Zhongtian was a little curious and asked: "Are all the people in the village from the Tongmenghui?"

Pan Yunpeng shook his head and said: "Not entirely. Only the original group of people really belong to the Alliance. Those who joined later only know that there is a backer behind the village, but they don't know who it is."

Lin Zhongtian pursed his lips toward the woods nearby: "What about these secret whistles?"

Pan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Those who hugged me were all from my own family, and those who greeted me only knew that I was a friend of the village."

Lin Zhongtian nodded: "That's it."

Continuing up the mountain road, a clear mountain spring water passes by and rushes down towards the foot of the mountain.

From time to time, a few swimming fish emerge from the stream and swim downstream. The stones on the bottom of the water have been washed away by the water over the years. Naturally, there is not much moss left, but they have become shiny and smooth.

When the sun shines down, the entire stream and the stones at the bottom become gleaming.

Yang Suhua had never seen such beautiful scenery. He immediately handed the little fox in his arms to the escort next to him, and he and Zhang Yan held up their skirts and skipped forward by the stream. Their two bright faces were full of joy. smile.

Doctor Zhang frowned and was about to scold him, but was stopped by Pan Yunpeng.

Pan Yunpeng looked at the two girls with a smile and said with a chuckle: "Uncle, let them have fun for a while. I am not afraid of hard work and keep going. Don't we just want to see more of this kind of scene?"

"……makes sense."

Doctor Zhang's brows stretched, and he understood what he meant, but seeing his daughter's unbridled side, he still hesitated to speak.

After enduring it for a while, Doctor Zhang waved his sleeves and stopped reading altogether.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at Pan Yunpeng with some surprise, and once again raised his evaluation in his heart.

The most common mistake that people who achieve great things make is to forget their original intention for the sake of the process.

In this regard, Pan Yunpeng already has a high level of ideological consciousness...

Suddenly, Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, looked to the right and licked his lips.

"Brother Pan, is there a blind bear on this mountain?"

"Well, there is one, for many years."

"Why didn't we send people to encircle and suppress us?"

"Well, firstly, the blind bear is not easy to mess with, and secondly, it is unnecessary."

"no need?"

"Well, that blind bear is quite old and has become a spirit. It seems to know that the village is not to be messed with, so it has never attacked anyone in the village in these years. Everyone lives in peace and harmony. Get by.”

"So that's it!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​eating bear's paws.

Only then did Pan Yunpeng react, his eyes widened and he said: "Brother Fu, you don't want to kill it, do you? Don't. I saw it once when I came to the village last time. That guy was more than nine feet long. , weighs a thousand kilograms, and can break a tree with one palm. Such a beast cannot be matched by human beings, and even a dozen good hands cannot hold it..."

"Yeah……"

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and did not explain.

Pan Yunpeng and Shunfeng Escort Bureau are the most hidden forces of the Alliance in the capital. Even Jie Tian Lao only helped recruit experts and did not directly take action, let alone participate in the robbery and killing of Wei Zhongxian.

Therefore, Pan Yunpeng had only heard about Lin Zhongtian's bravery from his friends in the Alliance, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

While talking and laughing, everyone arrived at the stronghold. There were already many people waiting at the entrance of the stronghold.

Seeing Pan Yunpeng and others appear, the leader of the bearded man laughed loudly, ordered someone to take the gift from Pan Yunpeng, and then stepped forward and hugged Pan Yunpeng vigorously.

After letting go of his hand, the big man turned his head, looked at Lin Zhongtian's pale and bone-white right hand, and stretched out a hand with a smile.

"This is Brother Fu Qingyun, right? Ning Chengwu, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you..."

Lin Zhongtian naturally stretched out his hand and shook his hand, but the look on his face was a little strange.

The man in front of me was tall and tall, with a rough face and a full beard. He looked to be at least forty years old. Such a man actually called him Brother Fu as soon as he opened his mouth. This made Yang Suhua's gentle words to Fu Fu all the way. The eldest brother Lin Zhongtian is a little uncomfortable with it.

When he let go, Ning Chengwu smiled.

The handshake ceremony was taught to them by Zhao Lihe. Lin Zhongtian could use it so naturally, which meant that he had become their partner.

Pan Yunpeng turned to look at Doctor Zhang and said with a smile: "Uncle, you go in first."

Doctor Zhang asked: "What about you?"

Pan Yunpeng raised a jar of wine and said softly: "I still have something to do."

After Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment, he understood what he was going to do, so he also brought up a jar of wine.

"I'll go with you."

Pan Yunpeng glanced at Lin Zhongtian in surprise, thought for a while, nodded and said: "...that's fine."

After everyone entered the village, Lin Zhongtian and Pan Yunpeng carried two jars of wine and several bodyguards, and followed Ning Chengwu to the forest behind the village.

There, there is a bamboo pavilion, beside which stands a tombstone with two rows of names of the deceased engraved on it.

Pan Yunpeng came forward with the wine and silently poured the wine one by one in front of the tombstone.

Obviously, buried under these tombstones are the bodyguards who died here.

Perhaps it was because Lin Zhongtian came here for the first time, Pan Yunpeng explained softly: "Back then, when the escort team was robbed, the rules on the road were broken. It was impossible for the bandits not to be afraid, so after taking away the property, they set fire to it." I burned the corpses of my uncles, and when Brother Ning and I fought back to the mountain, the corpses of my uncles were already burned to a disgraceful state."

Ning Chengwu nodded and sighed: "After the fire was put out, Xiaopeng took back all those whose appearances could be identified. The rest were basically indistinguishable, so they were buried here..."
