Chapter 1966 Escort
"Hahaha, senior, this is different. If the goods from Xunhai Commercial Bank are bought in Xiguo, there must be an official document for paying taxes. When they arrive here, there is no need to pay it again. If Xunhai Commercial Bank is just through Xiguo, the commercial bank has already paid the tariffs when entering Xiguo, and there is no need to pay it again when going out to Xiguo!" Xiao Jian explained with a smile, "However, looking at Qi Jin's appearance, it seems that they have traded in Xiguo and there is no official document for paying taxes. At this border, a certain proportion of tariffs will be paid!"
"Then will they have to pay taxes when they enter Gaza?" Xiao Hua asked.
"That's natural! This tariff is from Xiguo, and the tariffs there are from Gaza!" Xiao Jian nodded.
Xiao Hua sighed: "Oh, this is not easy to be a business way!"
"Tariffs are an important part of a country's income and expenditure, and it cannot be exempted!" Xiao Jian said very familiarly, "Of course, it is not only difficult for business, but it is not easy to do anything in this world! Even if you are the leader of a country!"
While talking, several people got off the bridge. They saw that there were some people under the bridge who were similar to those of the soldiers in Xiguo, but they were wearing completely different armor and flags.
Everyone entered the border of Gaza. There was a tea shed half a mile away from the bridge. Xiao Hua looked at the scorching sun above his head and ordered him to go to the tea shed to rest.
After waiting for a meal, he saw nearly twenty carriages coming out from the soldiers' blocking place under Qi Jin's leadership. When Qi Jin saw the carriage parked in front of the tea shed, the disappointment on his face immediately disappeared. He urged the horse under his crotch and hurried to the tea shed with a man in strong clothes.
There were not many people in the tea shed, and Xiao Hua and the other four sat idle at a shabby table. Except for Yuanya drinking tea one bowl after another, the other three closed their eyes and spoke silently.
"Master of Taoism..." Qi Jin rushed into the tea shed. He wanted to talk to Xiao Hua, but after thinking for a while, he walked up to Xiao Jian and clasped his fists and said, "There are too many goods in the despise business, and it is a bit troublesome to pass the test. Dao Dao has been waiting for a long time!"
"It's okay..." Xiao Jian opened his eyes and smiled, "We're just traveling, no matter how we go, we're practicing, and this waiting is nothing!"
"The Taoist priest is really a master. What he said is really profound!" Qi Jin looked at Xiao Jian with great admiration. "Old and others are busy with their lives for this Adu thing. I don't know when I will be able to get rid of it!"
"When it is time to be liberated, you will definitely be liberated. When you cannot, just talk about it!" Xiao Jian could pick up such words at will. He was much more familiar with Xiao Hua.
"Yes, yes. I have been taught!" Qi Jin clasped his hands with great devoutness, but just as he closed his palms, he immediately understood when he saw Xiao Jian's unkind appearance. He put down in an extremely embarrassing manner, and then took the plane and pointed his hand at the strong man next to him, "Master Chen, this is the Taoist Master Xiao that I just mentioned, you have seen him!"
"Chen Kai from Xiafuwei Escort Agency, I have met several Taoist priests!" The strong man stood up and bowed with his fists. His voice was very loud, but his eyes were filled with a sense of toughness and dissatisfaction.
"Hello, Master Wuliang, Mr. Chen!" Xiao Jian seemed to understand something, smiled and returned the favor, looked at Qi Jin again, and said, "Brother Qi, what do you mean?"
"This..." Qi Jin was a little embarrassed and said his meaning. Nothing else, just like what Xiao Jian thought, it was about a hundred miles from the border of Gaza to the nearest city. There was a mountain road that was quite dangerous. There were three groups of bandits alone. The bandits often went down the mountain to rob, and the merchants who passed by were terrified. Gaza sent troops to suppress the enemy several times and returned in vain. Later, they simply ignored it and let these bandits die. Since the bandits were born, how could they be destroyed? Although the leaders and numbers of bandits are changing all the time, the bandits have become a cancer on the border of Gaza.
But there is only one road from Xiguo to Gaza. The mountain road is close to that section of the mountain road, and there is an insurmountable jungle. Therefore, since merchants like Xunhai Commercial Bank know that there are bandits here, they can only grit their teeth and pass here. At best... they may hire more escorts like the Fuwei Escort Agency to protect the safety of their own business. Qi Jin just saw that the generals of the Xiguo were extremely respectful to Xiao Hua, and then he made a temporary decision, hoping to ask Xiao Hua and others to protect themselves through this mountain road where bandits were rampant.
Although Xiao Hua and others are not escorts, Qi Jin's behavior of not trusting the Fuwei escort agency halfway through the way seemed to be seriously ill and seeking medical treatment also made Master Chen extremely dissatisfied! Chen Kai didn't say anything, but how could Xiao Jian not see the disdain in his eyes and even a faint hostility? He had seen this look more than once in the eyes of Zen Master Mingyue!
"If I had known this... I wouldn't have collected Qi Jin's money!" Xiao Jian felt a little regretful. After hearing what Qi Jin said, he already understood in his heart that this bandit could not appear in vain, and he was so close to the border and still lived so freely. If it weren't for having nothing to do with the guardians of Gaza's Kingdom, Xiao Jian wouldn't believe it. As for Qi Jin's meaning, Xiao Jian knew it even more. Qi Jin might not want to rely on the force of his and others. What he valued was Li Xianyu's respect for Xiao Hua! Qi Jin thought that he and others were familiar with Li Xianyu and others, and when they met the bandits on the way forward, they would definitely make the bandits worry!
As for this reason, Qi Jin could not speak clearly to Chen Kai, nor would he tell Xiao Jian directly. He could only ask Xiao Jian and others to protect him in a tentative tone.
"Grandma's, they are all smart people!" After Xiao Jian regretted, he looked at Xiao Hua unconsciously. It was obvious that he and others could not have anything to do with the soldiers on the border. Li Xianyu's respect was aimed at Xiao Hua and the Yuan stone. Facing the bandits, not to mention himself, even Yuanya may not be able to protect himself. How dare Xiao Jian make arbitrary decision?
"Oh? Chen's escort~" To Xiao Jian's expectation, a hint of joy flashed across Xiao Hua's face and he asked, "I'll ask you, do you know the Lotus escort agency?"
"Lotus Escort Agency?" Chen Kai immediately had a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes, and said strangely, "The Taoist priest knows the people from the Escort Agency?"
"Tell me, do you know the Lotus Escort Agency?" After hearing Chen Kai's answer, Xiao Hua's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he seemed to be a little ecstatic, and he said anxiously.
Chen Kai shivered, Xiao Hua's eyes were as lightning as if pierced into his heart, which scared him. The dissatisfaction in his heart had long been thrown out of the sky, and he hurriedly replied: "Good Immortal Master, I know, I have never heard of any Lotus Escort Agency!"
"Hmph..." Xiao Hua snorted coldly, looking extremely dissatisfied.
"Immortal Chief..." Chen Kai felt a little sweaty on his forehead. Facing Xiao Hua's dissatisfaction at this time, he felt an unspeakable sense of depression and powerlessness. It seemed that facing Xiao Hua was a giant mountain. This giant mountain could press himself into meat sauce at any time. He now really knew Xiao Hua's power. "I have heard of the Lianhe Escort Agency, the Feiyan Escort Agency, and the Zhenfeng Escort Agency, but I have never heard of the Lianhua Escort Agency!"
"Where is the Piaomiao Sect?" Xiao Hua asked in a low voice even though he knew there would be no affirmative answer.
"...I haven't heard of it!" The sweat on Chen Kai's face was shed, his knees almost became a little soft. He really couldn't face Xiao Hua's incredible eyes. "The little one... the little one is just an ordinary bodyguard, and the little one that the immortal prince said...is not known!"
"Huh~" Xiao Hua sighed a long sigh, and sighed in his heart, "Oh, escort! Isn't Xiao's second brother the escort?? Lotus Escort Agency, Piaomiao Sect... Why should Xiao make things difficult for an ordinary escort?"
Xiao Hua let out a sigh, and Chen Kai immediately felt that the danger of easily crushing him to death suddenly disappeared. Then he involuntarily reached out and wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, and his heart was relaxed as if he had removed a huge rock.
"Immortal Chief..." Qi Jin naturally saw Chen Kai's embarrassing look and felt even more happy. Seeing Xiao Hua's face looked good, he hurriedly whispered, "You little old man, please follow me and go forward. I'll wait all the way to serve the Immortal Chief..."
"Oh..." Xiao Hua ignored Qi Jin, raised his head and looked at the avenue outside the tea shed. His eyes were a little confused, as if he had seen the end of the avenue and the end of time. That is, when Qi Jin talked about the escort and the escort, the long-standing memory began to appear like fragments again. "Lotus Escort Agency, Waiter, Escort" and other strange words, as if they appeared like a fountain, made him feel urge to ask! He really wanted to get what he wanted from this escort named Chen Kai!
Unfortunately, Xiao Hua was still disappointed!
"Maybe...they are not far away?" Xiao Hua's heart was a little fluctuated, "The ring, township, escort, escort agency, these are all things that Xiaoyu continent does not have, they are all in Xiao's memory..."
"Senior..." Xiao Jian's voice was misty again, as if it was born from the sky, awakening Xiao Hua from his homesickness, "I have to move forward even when I wait for the left and right, why not... let's go together?"
"It's up to you..." Xiao Hua's face was as deep as water, and he couldn't see any joy or anger. However, Xiao Jian knew that Xiao Hua was a little displeased, so he hurriedly said: "If seniors like Qingjing, we won't follow the convoy of the business!"
"No need!" Xiao Hua waved his hand, "Let's follow, you have experience on both sides, and it's good to be able to help them with a helping hand!"
"Yes, I understand!" Xiao Jian smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned to Qi Jin and said, "Why don't you thank Zhenren Xiao quickly?"
"Yes, yes, thank you for the real person, thank you for the real person." Qi Jin was overjoyed, bowed quickly, and then pulled Xiao Jian's sleeve and hurried out, as if he had something to say, and Chen Kai couldn't stand Xiao Hua's momentum just now and took the opportunity to slip out.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Hua looked at Yuanya and said, "Yuanya, why haven't you spoken these days? Have you ever drunk enough tea?"
"Master, I can't speak, so I won't say anything!" Yuanya drank another bowl of tea and put a somewhat ragged tea bowl on the table and said, "I'll go out to get a cart now..." (To be continued...)
