Looking around, the mission pointed by Hong Dou was a very ordinary escort mission. The reason why it ranked first in terms of bounty was because the person it protected was a prince of a country.

The prince of the Bear Kingdom went out to play, but received news that his father had been assassinated. He suspected that it was a long-planned usurpation of power, and he might have been assassinated as well. He needed ninja escort to return home and inherit the throne.

After understanding the general information, Hong Bean and Liquor embarked on the journey with the prince's team.

The captain of the Wang family's guard, who was leading the team, immediately felt very lucky when he heard that the one responsible for escorting was a jounin and an elite chuunin.

But when he saw that the real person was actually a woman and a fat man, his attitude collapsed.

"What do you mean, Konoha just sends women and fat men to the front line? Doesn't it mean that we are looking down on our country of bears?"

The captain of the guard said angrily, and he was about to draw his sword and argue with the Hokage, but the prince of the Bear Kingdom had the knowledge and stopped him, and apologized to Anko and Liquor.

"Ryotaro, if you don't understand ninja things, don't talk nonsense. I am optimistic about the ninjas of Konoha. What's more, this female ninja is still a jounin, and the fat ninja is an elite chuunin. With their escort, I think I won't be in any danger."

After listening to the prince's words, the guard warrior Ryotaro felt deeply guilty, and bowed to Anko and the wine barrel, saying sorry.

Hongdou was not a petty person, so he immediately waved his hand to show that it didn't matter.

"Don't worry, we will definitely send you back to the bear country safe and sound."

"Then thank you very much."

The prince thanked him and nodded slightly towards Anko, but when he saw the wine barrel, the wine barrel ignored him and just drank by himself, which made Ryotaro very angry.

"The prince is so polite to you because he thinks highly of you. Don't be ungrateful."

With that said, Ryotaro was about to draw his knife.

But Liangtai just glanced at Ryotaro.

In his sight, the other guard warriors were all lazy, but Ryotaro was so "foolishly loyal" that he insisted on "defending the dignity of the royal family" without even saying a few words, as if he was showing off himself too much. His loyalty was the same, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

In his past life memory, the wife and children of the old man whom he had drunk to the point of alcohol poisoning were also scrambling to avenge him in order to show how loyal they were, but in the end they still tore them apart in order to seize the family property. He lost his face and admitted that everything was just a show.

But this was just a feeling. Jiugong couldn't provide any evidence, so he had no choice but to shut up and do his job.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

The wine barrel gave a symbolic thanks and nodded.

Hongdou hurriedly mediated with a smile, and the prince did not take it seriously, so the matter was over.

Ryotaro had no choice but to put away the sword "unwillingly" and returned to the carriage.

Through the gap in the car curtain, Jiugong deliberately glanced inside. When he saw the captain of the guard breathing a sigh of relief and feeling comfortable, he smiled disdainfully.

"The disguise is very good, one layer is put on top of the other, and it turns out to be a thousand-layer cake."

But having said that, before the captain of the guard takes action, Liquor will not pursue it too much to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Soon, the team was on the road.

The Bear Country is a neighboring country to the Fire Country. The distance itself is not too far away, but the forests on the border are prosperous, and if they are ambushed, it will be a disaster.

Hongdou and Jiugong were at the front of the team, responsible for reconnaissance. Once an ambush was discovered, they would immediately take corresponding measures.

However, what they didn't expect was that after a tense day, they didn't even meet a single person.

"It seems that the news of an ambush is false. Your Highness, we will be arriving soon." Ryotaro said excitedly, "As long as we pass this forest, it will be the territory of the Bear Country."

"But, it's getting dark soon, otherwise we might as well forget it. It won't be too late to set off tomorrow morning."

The prince looked at the sky, which was almost too dark to see, and said worriedly.

Hongdou also nodded: "Yes, if you are ambushed in the forest at night, you will be in trouble."

"No, it's just a little way. Your Highness, we walked this way when we came here. It's no problem. Don't worry. I will protect your safety to the death."

Ryotaro tried his best to persuade him, which made Libong feel very uncomfortable.

He didn't want to be so stupid and be sold into a trap by this stupid boy.

"I said danger is danger, why are there so many nonsense?" After Jiugong finished speaking, he lay down on the ground, "You can leave if you want, I'm tired anyway."

Upon hearing this, Ryotaro suddenly became angry.

"What the hell are you doing with a bounty for eating something like a pig?" He said in disgust, "Your Highness, leave them alone. I will escort you back this way."

"Ah, this"

The prince hesitated.

Anko didn't laugh either, she was holding back her anger.

At this moment, the wine barrel spoke again:

"Unexpected, people's hearts are unpredictable~"

"roll"

Ryotaro was completely shattered, and he would kill the wine barrel with a knife no matter what.

But luckily the prince snapped at him.

"That's so rude. This is what Ryotaro's father taught you. Go get water for your two ninja friends and rest here tonight. Take turns guarding."

When Ryotaro heard this, he realized that since the words had already been said, he had nothing to refute.

He had to swallow his anger like a defeated dog.

"and many more."

The wine barrel suddenly made a sound.

"what else"

Ryotaro suppressed his anger.

"I want wine."

Wine Barrel scratched his butt and lay motionless on the grass.

Ryotaro wanted to strangle Shuke to death, but after a few minutes, he still brought the water for Anko and the wine that Shuke wanted.

"This is a wine unique to the Bear Country. It is generally difficult for you Fire Country people to drink it."

After passing the jug to the barrel, Ryotaro's attitude suddenly became friendly.

But the wine barrel was still the same. He took the wine and drank it in one gulp, without even intending to say thank you.

Soon, night fell and the tents were set up.

Anko got into the wine barrel tent and poured the water from the water bag Ryotaro gave him on the ground in front of him.

When Liquong saw this, he immediately laughed.

"I thought you were stupid too."

"Oh, since I became my master to that guy Orochimaru, I have never been poisoned. What's more, it's just a little bit of poison. Even if I drink it, it'll be fine. The snake will help me force it out."

"Hey, I didn't expect Orochimaru to have such a unique skill. Those who didn't know would have thought that you became Tsunade's master."

"Aha, you know a lot."

"you flatter me."

After saying that, the wine barrel sat up and burped. The poisonous wine did not cause any harm to him, but instead made him addicted to alcohol.

"Then it's going to be a fight," he said.

In an instant, fire broke out around the tent.
