Chapter 28 Charlie the Bald
Now that the sky was getting brighter, Tang An planned to go there directly. As for the hound, Tang An didn't think about killing people to silence him, after all, the other party still had a good impression of him.

Tang An planned to leave directly.

The hound was naturally so happy when he saw this. He cooperated so much because he hoped that the lunatic would leave early so that he would be safe, but Tang An turned back after walking out a few steps.

This made the hound's heart beat faster, and he was a little scared.

"Hound, this time is also a lesson for you. I hope you will change your mind and start a new life in the future. I know that you have already untied the cloth strip on your wrist, so I will not help you. In addition, we must still I look forward to seeing you again." Tang Anyu said something from the bottom of his heart, and then he really left.

When you get to the intersection, you can reach it by walking for ten minutes at most.

Although Tang An experienced danger this time, to be honest, he got a lot of benefits. First of all, he temporarily got rid of the threat of John Hawkins and escaped smoothly, and he also got a level 1 extraordinary potion, which was only temporary. I don't know what category this extraordinary potion belongs to. In Tang An's words, I don't know what profession or skill tree it is.

If you don't know anything, of course you can't use it indiscriminately.

In addition, there were two ordinary daggers, but the ammunition for the flintlock was also gone.

Tang An now loves and hates the Evil Spirit Flintlock Gun, especially since he previously discovered that after this gun hits the target, there is a certain chance that it will summon Evil Spirits for close combat, which is very good. .

After all, this kind of antique-like firearm is quite powerful at close range, but it is really terrible at a long distance. Moreover, even at close range, it is difficult to cause fatal wounds without hitting the vital point.

The evil spirit's auxiliary attack obviously made up for this shortcoming. It can be said that, with the evil spirit's auxiliary attack, the value of this evil spirit flintlock can be increased several times.

But still the same sentence, there is no ammunition now, and this flintlock can only deter the enemy.

The crossroads camp is located five miles west of Qianshui Port, not far from the road. It is on a highland hillside.

Of course, after a long time, a camp was formed, and some people sold some supplies. Unfortunately, Tang An is penniless now.

Speaking of which, after tossing and tossing all night, Tang An was not particularly sleepy, but he was really hungry.

It was already dawn, and there were already a lot of people at the intersection. Some were walking, and some were being run over by carriages, but overall it was relatively quiet.

Tang An observed first, but found no danger, neither the sheriff of the sword of justice, nor John Hawkins and his gang.

There are quite a few people sitting on the ground here, probably looking for 'jobs', like myself.

There are many trees here, and one of the thickest trunks has a wooden board hanging on it as a bulletin board.At this moment, it seems that there are already layers of notices on it, new ones pasted on top of the old ones, densely packed.

Tang An was dizzy. Just at this moment, Tang An heard someone shouting "Devonshire" over there, and he walked over immediately.

It was a well-dressed man, slightly fat, strong, bald, with several rings on his fingers, some were shining with gold, and some were inlaid with gems. He looked very rich and had status.

Behind this person stood two other people with the same entourage, both tall and strong.

"I need four people to help us transport the goods to Devonshire. According to the rules, each person will be paid 6 silver coins, but only half of them can be paid first."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people gathered around him.

Obviously, you can get 6 silver coins for escorting the goods to Devonshire, which is actually a very good deal.

Tang An was naturally moved.

Not only because of the 6 silver coins, but also because the other party's route happened to be exactly what I needed, so I squeezed in and signed up.

It may be that the dagger and flintlock gun on Tang An's waist had an effect. At least it seemed that Tang An was very 'strength', so he was lucky enough to become one of the four hired guards.

The other three people also looked a bit powerful, and they all had weapons, but only Tang An and the other person had guns.

What the man held was a long-handled flintlock. The workmanship was average, but it was a gun after all.

"Gentlemen, my name is Charlie. You can call me Mr. Charlie. This time we are going to escort a batch of goods. You need to be very energetic. If you encounter gangsters and bandits, you must fight bravely. But I think this There is no danger along the way, at most there are some wild beasts and petty thieves, so relatively speaking, this will be a relatively easy trip." Mr. Charlie smiled and said to the four guards he hired at this time.

One of them was very straightforward, that is, the one with the long-handled musket and said directly: "Mr. Charlie, if there is no problem, just pay the deposit first..."

The bald Mr. Charlie laughed, and then took out a money bag from his arms, and took out some silver coins from it. According to what he said before, each person divided into three.

"In addition, please sign the agreement and press your fingerprints. After all, if you just run away, I will lose a lot." Mr. Charlie laughed.

If someone took the money and did nothing, he would report to the police, and that person would become a 'wanted criminal'. Obviously, almost no one would be charged as a wanted criminal for three silver coins.

Tang An looked at the three silver coins in his hand, and it could be said that he was very happy. For him, this could definitely be regarded as a 'huge sum of money'.

And you know that when you arrive in Devon, you can get the other half of the silver coins, which adds up to 6 silver coins. According to the exchange ratio of the system store, one to one, it is 6 silver coins, which can also be regarded as 600 copper coins.

If you buy food, it will be enough to last for a while.

"Gentlemen, I have food and water here. I am resting for a few minutes now. If you need it, you can come and get it. We will set off in a while. It may take at least three days to get to Devonshire. During this period, I will provide Your food." Bald Charlie said with a smile, very kindly.

Tang An was hungry, so he received bread and milk. Although the bread was hard and the milk was cold, it was better than nothing.

The other three people also ate separately. They didn't know each other, and they were on their own guard. Although they were going to walk together next, they wouldn't have much communication.

Bald Charlie, on the other hand, was very good at talking. He always regarded himself as a gentleman and always had some interesting stories coming out of his mouth. However, his two followers did not speak.

They have three horses, two of which are used to pull the cart, and the cart is full of goods, but they are covered with cloth, and they don't know what it is.

Bald Charlie rode a horse himself, and the others, except for the entourage driving the carriage, Tang An and the four of them, could only walk.

However, this road is mostly mountainous, so the speed is not fast.

After eating and getting ready, we set off.
