Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 31: It’s not the lack of wealth that’s worrying, but the inequality! (Please vote for me and read on!)
Yang Jianfei looked calm and nodded to Gu Yuan and the others, which was considered a greeting.

But everyone could see that this guy was arrogant and obviously didn't take Gu Yuan and the others seriously.

Come to think of it, Yang Jianfei was dressed in brocade, with an exquisite and gorgeous long sword on his waist and a shiny jade pendant. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family, and he was most likely related to Yang Han.

He does have the capital to be arrogant.

Gu Yuan and the old man who smoked a pipe didn't care much about Yang Jianfei's attitude. Only Zhou Zhong muttered something in dissatisfaction, but his voice was too soft and Gu Yuan didn't hear anything.

Yang Han saw all of this, but said nothing. He looked at Xia Xiuxue and said with a smile, "Niece Xue, it would be inconvenient for you, a woman, to accompany us. Why don't you take this carriage?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the only empty carriage.

Xia Xiuxue nodded slightly and agreed as a matter of course: "Okay, thank you Uncle Yang."

Having said that, he entered the carriage with the attentive service of the two maids.

"Okay, now that everyone is here."

Yang Han also rode on a tall horse, clapped his hands, and announced: "Then let's go!"

The caravan set off immediately.

Gu Yuan followed the caravan with a package on his back and a long sword in his hand, and Zhou Zhong was beside him.

The old man holding the pipe was named Guo Jin, who called himself Old Man Guo. He was on the other side of the caravan at this time.

As for Yang Jianfei, he was riding on a horse. With his handsome appearance and upright posture, he looked like a chivalrous young man in the martial arts world.

In the feudal society with inconvenient transportation, traveling long distances was often quite troublesome.

The mountains are high and the roads are long, bumpy and winding.

It is often very dangerous if you encounter a difficult road or a mountain blocked by heavy snow.

And these are just some minor inconveniences.

In those mountain valleys, there are often bandits who rob and plunder, and even horse bandits who kill countless people. Once you encounter them, at best you will lose money to avoid disaster, and at worst you will lose both your money and your life.

If you are even more unlucky and encounter some monsters or mountain ghosts, it would be even more terrifying!

Fortunately, the route chosen by Yudinglou this time was a well-tested official road, which was relatively easier to walk on and safer.

We walked for three consecutive days, and except for some minor problems encountered occasionally, the journey was quite smooth.

At noon, the sun is high.

The caravan was still moving slowly, and Zhou Zhong approached with a piece of bread in his mouth.

"Brother Gu, how have you been feeling these days?"

The stubble on his face was a bit thicker, and his clothes were a little dirty, making him look quite sloppy. It was obvious that he had been traveling continuously for the past few days and was exhausted.

It would be one thing to just rush on the journey, but the key point is that the weather is still cold, with the biting cold wind constantly penetrating into the clothes. Add to that the poor eating and sleeping habits, and even an iron man can't handle such a situation!
Although Zhou Zhong is a martial artist, his physique and physical strength are much stronger than ordinary people.

But even a congenital martial artist with the endurance of a galloping horse and the strength to tear apart tigers and leopards would get tired after traveling for a long time, let alone him, a mere muscle-refining martial artist?
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Not bad."

His physical strength and endurance are no less than Zhou Zhong's.

Although the long journey made him a little tired, Gu Yuan did not find it boring at all. Instead, he seemed to enjoy it.

Because he was not idle either. While he was on his way, he was also thinking about the "Spirit Snake Sword Technique" from time to time.

If you are really tired, you can occasionally chew on some Polygonatum to replenish your energy.

The "Spirit Snake Sword Technique" isn't exactly sophisticated or profound, but it does emphasize swift and agile sword moves. Once mastered, its power is undeniably immense! Furthermore, after realizing something wasn't right with this mission, Gu Yuan brought along Ah Wu, the Iron-Backed Centipede, and Ah Huang, the Iron-Toothed Rat, just in case.

At this time, A Wu was following behind the caravan.

As for Ah Huang, he walked in front of the caravan like a spy.

Zhou Zhong looked at Gu Yuan for a few times and found that he looked really good. He couldn't help feeling a little depressed, but he didn't think much about it.

"Brother, you and I are both miserable people, destined to suffer!"

He glanced ahead and then said in a somewhat sarcastic tone:
"Unlike some people, who have everything provided for them along the way, with people waiting on them, horses to ride on, and even confidantes to accompany them. It's much easier than us."

"I just don't know if this is considered a mission or just sightseeing."

Gu Yuan followed his gaze and saw Yang Jianfei riding a horse. He was chatting with Xia Xiuxue sitting in the carriage. He had a gentle smile on his face, with a hint of pride.

Gu Yuan smiled and found it interesting.

Zhou Zhong was born into a poor hunter family, and he naturally had a casual and unruly character. However, people like him were obviously not liked by Yang Jianfei, who claimed to be a young master from a wealthy family, especially when he realized that Zhou Zhong disliked him.

Therefore, the two of them disliked each other a little bit along the way. Yang Jianfei relied on the fact that he was Yang Han's nephew and often made things difficult for Zhou Zhong.

Because Yang Han was present, Zhou Zhong couldn't get angry and could only swallow his anger. He felt quite depressed and resentful.

I can only talk to Gu Yuan from time to time to vent my frustration.

"Okay, stop complaining."

Gu Yuan shook his head and said:
"We should be arriving in Qingliu Town tomorrow. The steward said we'll have a day or two to rest. Why don't you think about buying some local specialties from Qingliu Town to take back with you?"

"What good things can Qingliu Town have?"

Zhou Zhong pursed his lips and said disapprovingly, "I've been to this place a few times before on missions. Apart from having more poisonous insects and ferocious beasts and better quality herbs, there's nothing special about it."

More poisonous insects and ferocious beasts?

Gu Yuan's heart moved slightly, he glanced at him, and said nothing more.

In the evening, the sky is getting dark.

The convoy also stopped by the roadside.

The guards dispersed and looked around to see if there were any dangerous factors.

After making sure it was safe, we decided to stay here and rest for one night.

The groom was busy taking out fodder to feed the horses, while the team leader was checking the goods one by one.

The accompanying chef had already set up an iron pot, piled firewood underneath, and started to make a fire to cook.

Soon, the aroma of food wafted out.

Gu Yuan, Zhou Zhong and Old Man Guo gathered together, each having a bowl of stew with a few pieces of meat and two thick pancakes. It was a pretty good meal.

But this treatment is far inferior to that of Yang Jianfei and Xia Xiuxue.

At this time, the two maids had already set up the tent and arranged the tables and chairs. The tables were filled with braised meat, sausages, roasted lamb legs, and even fruits and vegetables, which were mouth-watering.

There was even a small bowl of medicinal food in front of each person, emitting a rich aroma.
