Master, why is he like this? [Rebirth]

Anyone who promises to repay their kindness is a liar.

The silk merchant was obviously shocked by Huo Shaoqin's sudden change of shrewdness, and he tried in a low voice: "Can Second Master Jiang handle them all? If you only take me away, what will happen to my goods? I don't have so much silver with me, so I can Do you want to negotiate?"

Huo Shaoqin didn't answer whether it could be done, and looked at the silk merchant with a little disdain: "You hired me at the beginning and only discussed the money to protect Ajie. Now I'm sitting on the ground and raising the price. Do you think there is room for negotiation? Take you away, I'm not With three heads and six arms, of course the goods are lost."

This is quite a rogue statement.

The silk merchant looked at the No. 50 horse bandits, and made some mental calculations, and took out a bank note to Huo Shaoqin: "Pay 200 taels first, and I will make the final payment after killing them."

Then in the dim light of the fire, Huo Shaoqin touched the bank note, put it in his pocket, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and smiled at the silk merchant: "Come on, first sign a note."

Before the silk merchant opened his mouth, the guard next to him became impatient: "Why are you so annoying! Hit him if you can, and get out if you can't. Afterwards, he refused to accept his account and chopped him down. Take his things. Settlement."

Silk Merchant: ...

Ignoring the astonished stare of the silk merchant, Huo Shaoqin gave the guard an approving look, then drew out his sword, and counted while slashing people.Huo Shaoqin's stature was the same as his own, very handsome, and he went deep into the horse bandits. Fortunately, the silk merchant's guards all had uniform clothes, so it was very easy to distinguish the enemy from himself.

Huo Shaoqin worked hard towards the goal of earning 1000 taels, but the horse bandits didn't think so. The leader of the horse bandits immediately realized something was wrong after killing a dozen people, and after a while, most of them fell to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, there was no need for an order from the leader of the horse bandits. The horse bandits fled quickly, and the well-trained ones scattered in all directions.

No matter how powerful Huo Shaoqin was, he was alone, and he couldn't catch up with everyone, and he was thinking about Tao Jingxi and Ajie, so he didn't chase people when they ran away.Bringing Ajie who was hiding elsewhere to the silk merchant, Master Ajie was obviously frightened by the bloody smell here, and threw himself into his father's arms.

The father and son are in a touching exchange.Tao Jingxi looked at the situation, and said to Huo Shaoqin: "The benefactor saved me again, I can't repay my kindness, I just hope—"

"Don't." Huo Shaoqin interrupted immediately after listening to the words.

"The benefactor does not expect to reciprocate his kindness, he is really a person of insignificant righteousness."

What Tao Jingxi said was touching, but Huo Shaoqin didn't dare to accept it, and quickly retorted: "I'm just a greedy person!"

As if to prove his greed, Huo Shaoqin viciously interrupted the communication between the silk merchant and Ajie's father and son, and threatened, "Give me money."

The silk merchant was a little disheartened, but seeing that his son was fine, he said to Huo Shaoqin with snot and tears, "Second Master Jiang is really a good man, just wait for me, and I'll get you the money right away."

Huo Shaoqin followed behind the silk merchant and said to him: "A total of 540 people, the favor is 200 taels, excluding the 340 taels already paid, the balance is [-] taels."

The silk merchant was very generous and gave Huo Shaoqin 600 taels in total.

Afterwards, the silk merchant sent someone to report to the nearby lord, and brought more than a dozen servants from the government office to explain the situation, verify the identity of the horse bandit, and report the death and injury of the guards.The follow-up work here does not require Huo Shaoqin and Tao Jingxi to do it. Huo Shaoqin's main task is still to play with Master Ajie.

In the desert, there is not much imperial power. In principle, it is to protect the caravan, but it doesn't matter if the horse bandits fail to rob and be killed, or the caravan is looted, as long as they are not directly bumped into by the government, it is not a problem.

Most of the horse bandits are dead now, and the rest don't know where they are going, so they probably will be farther away from here.

It's just that the villagers in this place are miserable. Once they are targeted, they can only be useless. The silk merchants are probably really rich. The guards from the government office did not stop after checking the scene. All households were taken away, and everyone was convicted of harboring.

Tao Jingxi was a little puzzled.

Obviously these villagers are also victims, but because they are weak, can they be manipulated at will?

Huo Shaoqin saw Tao Jingxi's doubts, and explained: "The villagers are too weak, and the horse bandits who escaped may still come back. Instead of staying here and waiting to die, it is better to go to jail and still be alive."

Standing before the sunset in the desert, Huo Shaoqin was full of passion, and said quite deeply: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Weak people have no right to speak. Only when you are strong can you have the right to speak."

Tao Jingxi looked at Huo Shaoqin, and suddenly asked: "Benefactor, you must be a person in a high position." Huo Shaoqin didn't answer, Tao Jingxi continued to say, "But why did the benefactor leave? Because he was tired of power and wanted to pursue Freedom? But Tao can tell that the benefactor has a strong sense of responsibility."

"Could it be that the benefactor was forced to leave? The benefactor had no choice but to leave under the pressure of a strong authority, but the benefactor has such high martial arts, there is no reason why someone would threaten..."

Tao Jingxi didn't know what he had imagined, so he leaned into Huo Shaoqin's ear and asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you from the royal family? Your lord, prince? Is the court going to be in turmoil!"

Huo Shaoqin: ...

Huo Shaoqin wanted to complain, but didn't know where to start.

The dignified leader of the holy sect is always issued a good person card, even a martyr card, what is he trying to do now by directly inserting a Gongdou background for him!Huo Shaoqin was too lazy to talk to Tao Jingxi, and continued to play with the five or six-year-old Master Ajie. Huo Jiaozhu felt that he and Master Ajie had a lot of topics in common.

Tao Jingxi was deeply worried that his status in the eyes of his benefactor was not as high as that of a five or six-year-old child.

After Jiang Shengxian, who was far away in the holy mountain, learned about this, he replied to Huo Shaoqin: Master, with your IQ, you can talk to children.

Master Huo felt that he was hurt!

What about being loyal?The promised death will not give up, there is nothing to repay, and I will go through fire and water!

Jiang Shengxian: My attitude towards you does not affect my gratitude to the leader.

Repay, repay, repay.

Isn’t our Holy Cult set up by the great devil?Although they claim to be holy religions, people in the Jianghu gnashed their teeth in hatred when they mentioned us, why did they all want to repay him for their favor!

Walking to the end of the Hexi Grassland, you will arrive at the end of the silk merchants' employment, the Yiwu country on the edge of the 36 countries in the desert.It is said to be a country, but Yiwu is actually a small city, and the streets are full of exotic customs, which is very different from the Central Plains martial arts.

The silk merchants still wanted to keep hiring, and even promised that they would help find Shaoyou.But Tao Jingxi couldn't wait to leave the team. According to the treasure map, they should part ways here.The destination of the silk merchants is the wealthy Gaochang and Loulan, and Tao Jingxi's map ends in Suiye City in the north.

When they left, Master Ajie cried heartbreakingly, not wanting Jiang Jiang to leave him.Master Huo Shaoqin Ajie left a jade pendant and confessed: "When you return to the Central Plains, come to me with the jade pendant."

Master Ajie rummaged around, but didn't see anything special, "Where am I going to find you, Jiang Jiang."

Huo Shaoqin said: "I believe you can see the difference. After you see it, you will know where to find me. Come on."

Master Ajie clenched his fist and agreed.

Huo Shaoqin patted Master Ajie on the head, and led Tao Jingxi away from the caravan very smoothly.

Walking halfway, Tao Jingxi finally couldn't help asking: "Benefactor, didn't you buy this jade pendant at the market just now?"

Huo Shaoqin took out more than ten pieces of various jade pendants from his pocket, and asked Tao Jingxi, "No, I wholesaled this in a small town in the Central Plains before we entered the caravan. Don't you think it's pretty?"

"It's beautiful!" Tao Jingxi nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "There are so many benefactors, can you give me one?" Although it was wholesale, it was also a jade pendant that Huo Shaoqin had brought with him all the way. Tao Jingxi wanted it a little .

Huo Shaoqin, like magic, put away the jade pendant again, and said indifferently, "No."

After working as bodyguards all the way, both of them are rich after the accounts are settled, and they can also go to the market to buy better things. Thinking of this, Huo Shaoqin asked Tao Jingxi: "The silver that Ajie's father gave you should be enough for you to pay back." The money is gone, pay me back quickly."

Huo Shaoqin even took out the IOU signed by Tao Jingxi.

Tao Jingxi froze, and wanted to change the topic very deliberately, he dragged Huo Shaoqin to the market, and told Huo Shaoqin: "Although I have never been to this place, but the master said that he was born in the desert when he was young, and he was born in the desert until he became an adult. , before embarking on the road back to the Central Plains..."

Huo Shaoqin sneered in his heart, heh, the scheming Tao Jingxi.
