    Chapter 90: Storm on the Ranch (continuous)

    It's almost two thousand miles from Hexi to Liuyun Ranch. Even if you have nothing to worry about, you still have to walk for several months. What's more, the escort team is carrying a huge amount of money on the road. Apart from the hard work, what's even more worrying is that  If you encounter thieves who rob escorts, if you are not good at it, you will lose both your life and wealth.

    The man nodded to express his understanding, and at the same time raised his hand to interrupt Xue Gui's words: "Please rest assured, Mr. Xue, Escort Officer. We all know these things and will never let your Escort Bureau suffer. This time we would like to ask your Escort Bureau to escort eight  Ten thousand taels of silver, the reward is five thousand taels, half of it is paid first, and after the work is completed, the other half will be given at the same time."

    Eighty thousand taels?

    Although Xue Gui had already made an estimate in his mind, he still did not expect that there would be such a huge amount of money.

    Not entering the tiger's den, Xue Gui's heart beat violently for a few times, and then he looked firmly into the other person's eyes and said: "Okay, I just don't know if your distinguished guest has any other requirements? You can tell them all,  After the discussion is complete, everyone can write down the evidence in black and white, and after signing it, it is considered a success."

    The man nodded and said: "I only have one request, and that is that this batch of silver must be safely delivered to Liuyun Ranch before the winter solstice. Even if it is delayed by one day, it will be regarded as your escort agency's incompetence. Not only will the other half not get a cent of the reward,  Furthermore, half of the remuneration paid in advance must be returned in full.¡±

    Xue Gui frowned and said: "Today is already September 14th. Even if we start walking today, I'm afraid the time is very tight. If there is a slight mistake on the way, wouldn't our busy work be in vain?"

    The man shook his head and said: "I can understand Mr. Xue's worry, but if you plan carefully, this time should be enough. In short, the winter solstice is the latest date for handing over escorts. It can't be late no matter what, otherwise it will be delayed.  My business. Let¡¯s see, every day the escort team arrives at Liuyun Ranch earlier, I will pay an additional one hundred taels of silver. What does Mr. Xue think?¡±

    Time is indeed tight, but for Xue Gui, who is used to being an escort, he is still somewhat wealthy. As long as nothing big goes wrong, there should be no problem.

    After thinking carefully for a moment, Xue Gui finally nodded and said: "Okay, as your guest said, when will your silver be delivered to us?"

    Seeing Xue Gui nodding, the man said: "You can send it to the escort office together with the first half of the reward later. As for when to leave, it depends on your plan, Mr. Xue, the escort"

    ¡­¡­

    By the time Xue Gui finished telling the story of this escort trip, even the people in the hall who were used to big scenes couldn't help but fall in love with the eighty thousand taels of business. Who was the escort?  Moreover, according to Jin Qiu, what the man called a big business actually did not exist at all. Since it was a lie, and the man took such a big risk to do this, what kind of medicine was he selling in the gourd?  What plots and calculations are hidden here?

    Jin Qiu¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, and his face looked quite ugly.

    After so many years of ups and downs, Liuyun Ranch has finally become famous. However, in these troubled times, while it has its own advantages and disadvantages, it has also attracted the covetousness of those hungry wolves lurking in the dark.  It keeps coming like water. If you are not careful, you may lose this foundation.

    Just when everyone was concentrating on their own thoughts, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from far away. A person rushed into the hall like a whirlwind. He threw himself tremblingly at Xue Gui's feet and said with a cry: "Mr.  Something bad happened to the escort leader. All the money we worked so hard to secureall turned into a pile of stones."
