Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

The overall territory of Yongzhou is roughly in the shape of a vertical oval. The three roads of Shangyuan, Xingye and Xiayuan are arranged from north to south. Tongling County is a county administrative district east of Daoxingnan Prefecture in Xiayuan, with an overall area of ​​100 miles.

It governs Zhaoyang, Baiye and Yulin counties.

Among them, Baiye and Yulin counties are located in the northeast and southeast of the county city respectively, with a distance of about fifty miles. Zhaoyang is located to the east of the county city, about a hundred miles away.

There are four official roads in three counties, one county and four points. The longest official road is the one from Zhaoyang to the county town, which is more than a hundred miles away.

If one person is riding fast, even if it is an ordinary traveling horse worth a hundred taels, it will only take about four hours to rush from Zhaoyang to the county town at a speed of three hundred miles a day, including half the run and half rest.

If the horse is better and replaced with a well-bred horse that can travel a thousand miles a day, it will be even faster. It will only take more than an hour. If it is replaced by a top-grade horse that can travel three thousand miles a day, it will only take less than an hour.

…………

On the official road in the west of Zhaoyang, as the sun sets, the color of the green shades on both sides gradually deepens, and the night gradually falls, adding a bit of depth and tranquility to the dense forests on both sides of the official road.

A group of more than a hundred people, surrounded by five carriages, was walking slowly from east to west. It was the Hou family and his party who had set out from Zhaoyang in the morning.

Hou Yuxiao did not have any special privileges. There were five carriages, so he, the head of the family, could definitely ride in one of them. However, it was also his first time to go to the county town via the official road, so it was inevitably a little strange, so he got on the horse and followed the others.

.

Who would have thought that after walking for more than five hours, we only covered half the mileage.

It’s not that I wanted to be slow, it was mainly because there were five carriages loaded with goods towing them, and the horses had to rest from time to time, so it took an hour to go less than ten miles.

"The speed is indeed a bit slow. According to the situation, I'm afraid it won't be able to reach the county seat until tomorrow morning!"

Wang Gong, who was following him, said with a smile: "It's the first time for the family master to travel far away, so it's normal for him to feel slow. The main reason is that we have five carriages. If the family master rode the black cloud horse alone, he would have reached the county seat by now!

"

When the Black Cloud Horse was mentioned, many people behind him immediately focused their attention on the horse that Hou Yuxiao was riding, showing a look of envy.

This black cloud horse was harvested by the Hou family in the county government after the Zhaoyang Rebellion, and it should have been obtained by Ren Feng.

This black cloud horse is produced in Xuzhou. It can travel thousands of miles in a day. It is considered a rare good product. The local price in Xuzhou is not expensive, only more than 3,000 taels, but when sold to Yongzhou, the price is doubled.

More than seven thousand taels.

"You are still not rich. When you have money in the future, I will give each of you a thoroughbred horse. Then your speed will increase."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly showed a look of yearning.

This was an overstatement, but it was Hou Yuxiao's heartfelt thought. The freshness of his first trip had long since faded, but he could see the importance of this horse.

He has seen all kinds of horses, well-bred horses, and high-grade horses, and has ridden them all. The difference is indeed quite big.

Not only are the speed, comfort and even durability, they are all of different grades. No wonder the price gap between them is so huge.

This is the same as the car in the previous life!

"Master, traveling in the dark can easily attract evil spirits. It is not advisable to rush. Set up camp and rest on the spot, and wait until dawn before setting off again!"

Hou Yuxiao was interrupted by Wang Gong, and looked back at the dense forests on both sides of the official road, and nodded. Wang Gong took the order and hurriedly called for people to pull the carriage to one side of the official road. After everything was settled, everyone lit a bonfire, and the three

Five percent of the crowd took out the dry food they had prepared and drank it.

Although it was dark night, there were about a hundred or so people in the group, the campfire was brightly lit, and they were all strong warriors, so they naturally did not feel scared.

Hou Yuxiao looked at the dense forest in the darkness, with curiosity in his eyes far greater than fear.

When he came to this world, he knew a lot of secrets and secrets outside official circles.

It can range from a mountain spirit that transforms into a beautiful woman to seduce passers-by and then take advantage of them when they are unprepared; a lonely wild ghost that hides in the dense forest, scaring people to death; or a high-level monster that is a strong master at the master level.

He couldn't resist it, and finally died.

Stories like this have been recorded not only in the county annals of Zhaoyang County but also in many books, and they are basically true.

This is the reason why he has not left Zhaoyang City for two years. It would be okay if he encounters ordinary ghosts and evil spirits. But if he is unlucky and encounters a truly high-level demon without the strength of the Gangqi Realm, he will not even run away.

No chance.

Naturally, things are different now. People's courage increases with their strength. When a warrior has reached the stage of gathering evil spirits, the evil spirit in his body can cause harm to demons. This is when he dares to attack those monsters.

The reason why Mi Lin showed curious eyes.

Watching Wang Gong next to him skillfully carrying the bonfire, Hou Yuxiao was slightly moved and asked: "Mr. Wang worked as an escort in the Fuwei Escort Agency in Wanyang County in his early years. He traveled all over the country for many years. He must be well-informed and has been an escort for many years. Wang

Have you ever encountered any evil spirits?"

When Hou Yuxiao said this, everyone else immediately turned their heads. Curiousness is still human nature. Not only Hou Yuxiao is interested in ghosts and evil spirits, but these people are too.

Seeing that everyone turned their heads, Wang Gong did not want to pour cold water on everyone. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Since the master of the house is interested, I will tell you about something I encountered when I was still at Fuwei Escort Agency more than ten years ago.

It’s a big deal!”

Everyone immediately became interested, and they all gathered around and looked at Wang Gong eagerly.

"All escort agencies in the world distinguish between open escorts and secret escorts when accepting orders. The so-called open escorts mean that the escort agencies know what the goods are being escorted, while the opposite is true for concealed escorts.

Ming escorts usually calculate the money according to the route first, and then according to the value of the goods being escorted. The escort bureau will draw one out of ten. Generally speaking, this kind of goods may not make much money, but the advantage is that it comes from the right place and the risk is relatively low, so the escort bureaus like it.

Take the escort.

The secret dart is the opposite of the open dart. The client will not tell you what the goods are, only the destination. Sometimes even the destination is very vague.

There's no telling what kind of goods there are. Some are priceless treasures, some are very important to individuals, and some are likely to have been targeted by some powerful character. Once they are taken over, it will be a big deal.

It’s very troublesome!”

Wang Gong first told everyone about this, and everyone immediately realized that this secret escort was obviously a hot potato, and the profit must be very high.

However, they did not interrupt and continued to listen to Wang Gong.

"If I remember correctly, it was 15 years ago. The Fuwei Escort Bureau received a secret escort, which was a small box as big as a palm. It was sent from Wanyang County to Longxiang County in the east. The total distance was about three hundred miles.

inside.

I was just a escort at that time, and I didn’t know how much money the client paid to the escort agency. I only knew that the escort agency attached great importance to this escort trip and asked Lin Zhenbei, the chief escort officer at the time, to personally escort it. I was unlucky and was selected that time.

Up.

There were more than fifty people traveling together that time. In addition to the chief escort leader Lin Zhenbei, a master of the first level of Gang Qi Condensation stage, there were ten warriors who had opened their bodies to the tenth level, and more than forty people had opened their bodies to the fifth level.

For the above.”

When Wang Gong said this, he paused for a moment. Hou Yuxiao, who was standing next to him, keenly noticed that there was a trace of fear on his expression. Apparently, the experience of escorting an escort left him still frightened.

"Starting from Wanyang County to Longxiang County, nothing happened along the way. Until one night at Xu Shi, we rested on the official road thirty miles away from Baiming County, just like we are now, from Xu Shi to Hai Shi

, everything is normal and nothing happens.

Just after Hai hour, at about midnight, an accident happened..."
