Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 276 Decision
Not only did the leading gangster believe in the backbone's strategy, but the entire team and the other gangsters in the team also believed in their backbone in their hearts.

Their opinions of him mostly came from some rumors and provocations about the backbone.

Because of this, they increasingly feel that their backbone is preventing them from moving freely, forcing them to be hesitant before doing anything, and sometimes even preventing them from robbing things that are easy to rob and have high profits.

The most important thing is that their backbone doesn't allow them to touch women, and he even absolutely forbids them from getting married. This makes them more and more annoyed with this backbone.

Since they had this idea, they may not have noticed it before, but now they are becoming more and more disgusted with their backbone.

Even some small things in life, some small actions and living habits of the backbone are magnified by them and criticized.

This kind of thoughts, observations, and discussions are like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and the annoyance towards the backbone is becoming more and more difficult to hide.

Just when each gangster in the team was a little afraid that they would be punished for approaching the other party's territory alone, the leading gangster spoke.

However, this time, he did not ask the team members' opinion, but instead focused his attention on the Jiang family guard next to the carriage.

"The carriage is coming, but the people are not." The leading gangster shouted at the Jiang family guard next to the carriage, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

The Jiang family guards naturally knew what the leading gangster meant.

It was obvious that the leading gangster was wary of Jiang Xian and his three companions.

The Jiang family guards naturally knew that the several gangsters on the opposite side wanted to swallow the things in the carriage, but under the current circumstances, they were all a little afraid to get close to Jiang Xian and his three companions.

If the carriage is handed over, the best case scenario is that the battle can be avoided. If the things are handed over, they can leave safely, especially escort Jiang Xian to leave safely.

But after handing over the carriage, it was equivalent to implicitly admitting that the strength of the three of them was somewhat insufficient. In this way, it gave the other party a reason to kill them to silence them.

Not to mention that the criminals on the other side had the intention of killing to silence the witnesses. Their intention was very clear before, that is, they would rob the property and would not let the people go.

The best option would be not to hand over the carriage so that the three of them could escape safely.

After all, although most of the medicinal herbs on the carriage are common on the market and can be bought in Yingzhou, there is still a small part of them that are unique to Qizhou.

They guessed that this was the reason why Jiang Xian brought the two guards of the Jiang family to Qizhou.

Qizhou has not yet fully recovered, and medicinal materials are in short supply, which has led to the price of medicinal materials in Qizhou being much higher than those in other nearby states.

But even so, the Jiang family still came to Qizhou to purchase medicinal herbs, and purchased such a small quantity. They really did not understand the intentions of the masters of the Jiang family.

Qizhou is still a bit risky now. There is chaos both inside and outside the city, and the prices of medicinal materials are relatively high. The only explanation is the few medicinal materials unique to Qizhou, but there is no need to buy most of the remaining medicinal materials.

Most of the medicinal herbs stored in the carriage are available in Yingzhou, and can be purchased at a lower price than in Qizhou, so there is no need to make this trip. If there is any reason, we can only guess that these medicinal herbs are not suitable for purchase in Qizhou, so they are purchased at a relatively high price and at the risk of coming to Qizhou to purchase them.

This shows that the Jiang family urgently needs these medicinal herbs, so they took the risk to come to Qizhou.

And those medicinal herbs unique to Qizhou may be the reason why the Jiang family chose Qizhou as the purchasing location.

I think those medicinal herbs are also relatively important.

Judging from the quantity of these herbs, they are not for sale. This means there is only one possibility, that is, the Jiang family wants to use these herbs privately rather than for business purposes.

The Jiang family guard who was standing next to the carriage carrying the medicinal herbs had thought of all these possibilities very clearly, but he did not dare to make his own decision on this main and final decision which concerned the lives of the three of them.

After sorting out all of this, he turned to look at Jiang Xian, who was currently riding behind him, his eyes full of inquiry. If he had never worked with Jiang Xian before, even if Jiang Xian was the daughter of the Jiang family, he would naturally not dare to leave such a matter concerning the lives of the three of them to Jiang Xian.

However, now, after the two of them followed Jiang Xian to Qizhou, they discovered that their young lady Jiang was not an ordinary person, nor was she like the rumors. Even in terms of personality, she was completely opposite to the rumors in the streets and alleys of Yingzhou.

In their opinion, their Miss Jiang's personality is not at all eccentric, nor is she inferior.

It is a kind of wisdom that allows you to think about problems calmly at all times.

When it comes to purchasing medicinal materials, he is very organized and decisive, without any ambiguity.

Therefore, in this situation, according to the judgment of the Jiang family guard standing next to the carriage, asking Jiang Xian's opinion might be the right choice.

At this moment, it was not the Jiang family guards who were asking what Miss Jiang thought, but the guards who were asking what the person in charge thought.

They had indeed followed Jiang Xian's wishes in their previous actions, but that was because if they ignored Jiang Xian's thoughts, upon returning to Yingzhou and the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Xian might inevitably criticize them in front of the head of the family, Jiang Yuan.

But if they encountered something dangerous, or if Jiang Xian wanted to do something dangerous, they would definitely not listen.

If there is no danger, they will naturally listen to Jiang Xian, but if there is danger, they will not consider Jiang Xian's thoughts. They will definitely follow the orders of the head of the family, Jiang Yuan, which means protecting Jiang Xian's safety first.

However, now, they really want to ask Jiang Xian's opinion, and they really want Jiang Xian to come up with this idea.

Because now they have some respect for Jiang Xian.

If they still felt some sympathy for Jiang Xian, it was only because of the strange disease that Jiang Xian was rumored to have, and it was definitely not because these experiences had ruined her normal life.

They now just felt that even if Jiang Xian continued to live with a veil, with her own abilities, she would definitely not have a bad life.

This is their new understanding of the young lady of the Jiang family.

In fact, they were all wrong. They thought too much about the purchase of these medicinal herbs.

Jiang Xian came to Qizhou to purchase these medicinal herbs simply because she had to pass through Qizhou to go to the Qixi Desert, and then return to the border area between Yingzhou and Qizhou. According to her plan, she would not enter Yingzhou City again.

In this case, in order to save some money, she would have to go back to Yingzhou City to buy these herbs again, and then take them to the Qixi Desert again. This was naturally not a wise choice.

Facing the inquiring eyes of the Jiang family guards, Jiang Xian's answer was straightforward, as if he had made a decision in his mind long ago.

……

North of Qizhou City, north of the city observation post.

Two top warriors were standing opposite each other, one holding a black spear and the other holding a long sword, both wearing exquisite armor.

"I'm telling you in advance, this move will end this competition. When the time comes, don't say I didn't tell you." Jiang Xuan held a black spear, and the ribbon on it fluttered in the wind.

"Haha, a warrior who has just reached the peak level is speaking so arrogantly in front of this captain. He is overestimating his own abilities."

The captain laughed heartily and swung the long sword in his hand, as if he would defeat Jiang Xuan with the next blow.

As his feet moved, his body also turned, mobilizing a considerable force. This force was transmitted from the torso to the arms, and then from the arms to Jiang Xuan's hand holding the black spear.
