C505 One's Heart must be Guarded Against People
"Brat, this excuse of yours is too clumsy. Do you really think we'll fall for it?" A tall and sturdy middle-aged man said with a sneer. He had a full beard, and was as tall as an ox.
"An excuse? I say, is there some kind of misunderstanding? " Dou Tian had a puzzled face as he looked at the bearded man and said, "My name is Dou Tian and I come from Xueye Empire. My partner and I got lost."
Dou Tian's tone was extremely sincere, he could guess what these people were worried about, and probably thought of him and Ying Feng as thieves, robbing their caravan.
"Xueye Empire?" The bearded man frowned. Dou Tian's clear eyes didn't seem like he was lying.
"So what if you have Xueye Empire? Is everyone from Xueye Empire a good person? " However, at this time, a sinister voice sounded out. A thin man around the age of thirty walked over and looked at Dou Tian with a sneer.
He had a pair of dead fish eyes, an aquiline nose, and a long, thin face.
This kind of person was the kind of person that could be identified without makeup.
"If that's the case, then we'll have to trouble you." God knows, these people were very xenophobic, especially on the way to the caravan.
Once these goods were lost, it would be a fatal blow to them. It didn't matter if they were a little bit more careful when they were out in the open, this was understandable.
After all, if he were to change his position and think about it, he wouldn't be so bold as to treat these two strangers.
"Wait!"
Just as Dou Tian and the others were about to turn around and leave, a hoarse voice sounded out. A hunchbacked old man in a gray robe walked over. He held a cigarette pouch in his withered hand.
"My two little brothers, when we are outside, everyone is looking for convenience. It's just that this region is not peaceful, so there are many offenses. I hope that you do not mind." His eyes swept over Dou Tian and the others, attempting to see through them.
"This old man is too polite. It's always a good thing to have more eyes when we're outside." Dou Tian nodded. He didn't blame them, as he could easily tell the cultivation levels of these people.
This grey-robed elderly man's cultivation was the highest, but he was only at Peak of Talisman Battle Lifespan Stage. The bearded man and the hook nose were both at the fifth stage of Talisman Battle Lifespan Stage.
As for the other forty odd people, the majority of them were at the Nascent Infant Battle Dao Stage, with only a few at the third stage of the Talisman Battle Lifespan Stage realm.
Dou Tian really didn't take such a group of people seriously.
"If you two don't mind, come with us. We'll also take the right time to head for the Lihuoxindu." The grey robed elder nodded his head, "This old one is Zhang Jiu, may I know what the names of the two little brothers are?"
"Duotian." Dou Tian gave his name, but Ying Feng just snorted coldly, he did not have any plans to make friends with any of them. Dou Tian laughed: "This is my companion, his personality is eccentric, Old man should not be offended."
"It's only right for youngsters to have some temper." Zhang Jiu did not mind and took a few deep puffs on his cigarette greedily.
"Ninth Master, they don't know how to appreciate your kindness. Why did you let them stay?" The hawk-nosed man said angrily.
"Everyone has their own inconvenience when they're outside." Zhang Jiu shook his head and apologetically looked at the two of them: "The two of you, just rest over there."
Zhang Jiu pointed to a horse carriage in the distance, Duan Tian and the rest followed the horse carriage and looked over, to see a young man seated on the horse carriage. The young man's clothes were tattered, but the clothes were extremely clean.
The youth looked to be around sixteen to seventeen years old, his face white and handsome, his eyes spirited and filled with a strange aura. Ying Feng, who was at the side, shot a look at the sky.
With a glance, he was able to tell that this youth was just a fake boy who was disguised as a man.
Lying on the fake brat's lap was a six or seven year old boy who had already fallen asleep. There was a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth; it was obvious that he was having a good dream.
"Ninth Master!" Zhang Jiu had yet to finish speaking when the bearded man and the hook nose both shouted at the same time. Obviously, they did not want Dou Tian and Ying Feng to get close to the other two.
"I have the final say in the merchant group." Zhang Jiu said indifferently, with a tone that was extremely firm and contained a tone that could not be doubted.
The bearded man and the hawk-nosed man had different expressions on their faces. As for what they were thinking, no one knew.
"Thank you, Ninth Master." Originally, he wanted to ask for directions and go straight to the Lihuoxindu, but after thinking for a while, he decided to stay.
Dou Tian gave Ying Feng a look, and the two of them walked towards the horse carriage. The fully bearded man revealed a hint of worry, but the hook nose revealed a cold smile.
"Young master, this caravan seems very strange. Why did you stay? We can ask for directions, there's no need to look for trouble." Ying Feng walked over to Dou Tian's side and said softly.
"It won't take much time." Dou Tian shook his head and smiled.
Naturally, he could tell that this caravan was strange with a single glance. In other words, this was not an ordinary caravan. Everyone here emitted a bloodthirsty aura and had a unique aura.
The most likely possibility was that these people were from the army.
In fact, Dou Tian had already guessed that the white fake brat and the six or seven year old child were the most noble people in this caravan.
The reason the old man called Zhang Jiu arranged things in this way was probably because he had already seen through the strength of the two. He only wanted them to ask for directions.
Of course, there was no lack of gambling. However, Dou Tian had to admit that Zhang Jiu had made the right bet, since he, Duotian, did not like to owe others anything.
When the fake brat saw Dou Tian and Ying Feng walking over, his eyes flashed.
It was also at this time that Zhang Jiu, the bearded man, the hook nose, and even the caravan troops in the distance tightly gripped the weapons in their hands.
As long as Dou Tian made the slightest movement, they would definitely launch a thunderous attack.
Naturally, Dou Tian was unable to escape from his soul power. However, he only smiled faintly as he stopped five to six meters away from the carriage.
Zhang Jiu and the rest heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately returned to their normal state, afraid that Dou Tian and the others would suspect something.
"My two brothers, there's nothing much for you two to eat. This is mutton that has just been roasted. Here, try it." The bearded man approached, carrying two lamb legs and a canteen.
"Thank you very much." Dou Tian took the lamb leg and kettle and placed it on the ground. He then started to eat in big bites, and it was already too late for Ying Feng to stop him.
"Brother, why aren't you eating? Don't tell me you don't like it?" The bearded man laughed, awkwardness flashing across his face. How could he not know that Ying Feng was worried that this lamb was poisonous?
"Big brother, don't blame him for having such a temper." Dou Tian laughed, and took the lamb leg, and directly threw it to Dou Jin and the Ming, who were eating happily.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't sleep too deeply tonight. This area is not at peace." The bearded man laughed heartily and warned Dou Tian and the others.
"There are some people who don't recognize the good will of others and treat kindness as nothing." Not far away, the sound of a sewer with a weird smell could be heard.
Unfortunately, Dou Tian did not even bother to pay attention to him. After eating his fill, he fell asleep on Dou Jin's stomach.
