Chapter 1848: Thunder Valley
I heard the boy continue: "Just now, Elder Zhao summoned me to contact me, and the second convoy was attacked by eleven late-stage monks sent by eleven sects on the road, injuring one convoy monk, and the two carriages were broken, but there was no iron inside. ”
"No iron?" Wang Lun asked, could it be that the four teams were all under the guise of the secret road?
It seems that Elder Zhao should have known in advance and knew that the second convoy did not carry a breathing iron, so that the monks of the eleven sects opened the carriage, which means that Elder Zhao acquiesced in the enemy's doing.
"Elder Zhao, can you explain that in the carriage of our convoy, we transport interest-bearing iron?" Wang Lun asked the remaining half of the words.
It is estimated that only Elder Zhao, Elder Ye in the Spirit Mine, and Guo Qunqi know the truth.
"I didn't say it explicitly, besides, whether there is a breathing iron in our carriage or not has nothing to do with Elder Wang, Elder Wang just needs to be on his own guard. The boy said.
"Doesn't the convoy need to change its route?" asked Wang Lun.
What he proposes, the boy will most likely refute. He asked so that the boy could refute all his proposals and continue the convoy on the same route.
"Changing the route, isn't it just telling the enemy that the convoy has a ghost to change like this?" the boy shook his head, "Now the eleven sects should not be checked again, so as not to completely anger the Spirit Sect, but maybe they will send someone to secretly follow the convoy." ”
"Then don't change the route, you and I will use the excuse to fly to the sky and check the surrounding environment?" Wang Lun proposed again.
"There's no need for that. The boy did not hesitate to refute.
"In case someone is really secretly following you, this can give you an early warning. Wang Lun further proposed to stimulate the boy to refute.
If he hadn't deliberately done the opposite, the boy might have really asked the convoy to change its route, or fly to a high altitude to inspect it himself, and he would have seen that the boy wanted to show authority in front of him all the time, and deliberately let the boy veto all these reasonable proposals.
If the convoy is robbed later, I can say that I have reminded the boy, but the boy did not adopt it.
"I have considered all of this, and I don't need Elder Wang to teach me how to do it. The boy frowned.
Wang Lun nodded, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the dragon horse turned to the side and returned to the back of the line.
It's just that the people from the eleven sects have inspected the No. 2 convoy, and it's not Fang Xiao and Lu Ming who acted, so that's good.
Fang Xiao is still very likely to attack Team No. 1, and the chance to get rid of Lu Ming by himself still exists.
"Changing the route of the convoy without permission, in case someone really sees it and thinks that the convoy is doing it with ghosts, it will cause the convoy to be inspected, so there is no need to do this. ”
The boy pondered, and denied the method of changing the route.
And Wang Lun suggested that he could fly high in the air from time to time to check the surroundings, which was really worth doing.
But this is the suggestion put forward by Wang Lun, and he is unwilling to adopt it in his heart.
If he adopted it, he would feel that he was following the advice of a loose cultivator. This was not something he could accept.
"Anyway, Elder Zhao has already made it clear that there is a good chance that the monks of the eleven sects will not inspect other convoys anymore, and almost no monks will keep an eye on our convoy. ”
"Besides, I'm a dignified early Yuan Infant monk, and Wang Lun is here, even if there is really a small person who is now eyeing the convoy, what are you afraid of?"
The boy felt that he could completely ignore the proposal given by Wang Lun.
This convoy is guarded by him, and it is very safe.
He turned his head to look behind him, and saw that Wang Lun was looking left and right, and found his sight, Wang Lun turned his head sideways, he just looked at it and turned his head.
This Wang Lun can't be on the stage. He asked Wang Lun to be vigilant, and Wang Lun obediently obeyed.
It seems that he used to provoke Wanjianmen, most of them in order to use this kind of sword to win the attention of Lingzong, and he was really recruited into Lingzong by Lingzong, and in the face of Lingzong's group of masters of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Wang Lun can only obediently pick up his tail and be a man.
"Fang Xiao and Lu Ming will definitely not notify Wanjianmen, the operation will only be carried out in private, correspondingly, they will not pay attention to the situation in the outside world, and they will not take the initiative to contact Wanjianmen, so they must not know about the inspection of the second convoy. ”
"Since there is no surprise yet, and at the same time, Zhou Ape has not sent a summons request again, it should be that everything is still normal. ”
Wang Lun was actually a little anxious. This time cooperating with Zhou Ape to deal with Lu Ming together is an excellent opportunity to kill Lu Ming, so I naturally hope that Lu Ming will act quickly.
At the same time, in a mountain forest a few kilometers away from the convoy, Zhou Yu hid in the tallest tree nearby, looking at the road where the convoy was located.
Because the two sides of this road are mountains, mountains and forests, and there are no people, so this six or seven wide road is still relatively conspicuous in this mountain forest environment, and Zhou Yu does not need to see the people of the convoy clearly, he only needs to vaguely see a convoy moving on this road.
He had been staring at the convoy for more than half an hour, shortly after the convoy left Monsanguan. As long as it is found that people of the Yuan Infant level are moving towards the convoy, it is almost certain that it is Fang Xiao and Lu Ming, he has enough time to move, cooperate with Wang Lun, and intercept Lu Ming in front of Lu Ming's escape route.
Now the convoy is very safe, no one has come out to rob the convoy, and he doesn't need to contact Wang Lun by summons.
As for where Fang Xiao's group was now, it wasn't something he needed to care about, as long as that group didn't find them.
After watching for a while, he quickly jumped down from the big tree, his body was flexible, and he did not alarm the birds in the mountains and forests, and after he landed, he was immediately surrounded by three men dressed in black and wearing masks.
These three people are naturally the dead soldiers he selected.
said that it was a choice, but in fact, it was not really selected among the members of the fighting force, because considering that in this operation, the dead man was in danger of being caught, and he needed someone he could absolutely trust, so he actually chose three henchmen.
He doesn't have many henchmen, Xiang Chushan used to be the highest, after Xiang Chushan committed suicide, there were several henchmen around him, although they also knew his details, but the important secrets of the fighting forces were naturally still unclear, he trusted these people, but these people were limited by their strength and couldn't do more difficult things like Xiang Chushan, so some important secrets naturally needed to be told to these people.
The three henchmen selected were cultivated in the middle and late stages of the Yudan. In fact, none of his existing henchmen were cultivators of the Yuan Infant Realm.
The three henchmen are also dead soldiers, and the strength of the joint alliance is naturally not weak, if Lu Ming is dragged by Wang Lun, and Fang Xiao is dragged by the other Yuanying monks in the convoy, these three dead soldiers will naturally have a chance to grab the rest of the iron.
This was a side plan for the operation. The main plan is to unite with Wang Lun to kill Lu Ming.
Of course, the three dead soldiers did not know about Wang Lun's existence, and when they started later, it was impossible for the scene where he and Wang Lun joined forces to be discovered by the three dead soldiers.
"You continue to recuperate, hide when you move, wait for the enemy to fight the convoy monks, and confirm that the convoy's defense capability is seriously degraded before you choose to attack. ”
"If you find that something is wrong and evacuate decisively, your first task is not to grab the iron, but to save your own life. ”
"If there is evidence that there is no iron in the convoy, don't shoot either, don't expose yourself. In short, when you appear, it must be a time when there is a great guarantee of action. ”
Zhou Yu reminded carefully.
After making sure that the three dead soldiers had listened to it and remembered it, Zhou Yu nodded, "You continue to rest." ”
The three dead men were not allowed to show up at will. Because once he shows up to make a move, it is a third-party centaur, and after investigation, Lingzong will find that in addition to Wanjianmen, there is also a party, which is not only bad for throwing the pot to Wanjianmen, but also unfavorable to Wang Lun, which may make Lingzong suspect Wang Lun.
Therefore, it is only possible to make a move if there is a high degree of certainty that you will be able to obtain the iron. If you can get the iron and gain something, you can take the risk of making a move.
If you can't get the iron, you have to take the risk, which is obviously not cost-effective. For the fighting forces hidden in the shadows, such a loss-making transaction must not be done.
......
In the clouds high in the sky, Lu Ming, Fang Xiao and Guo Liang continued to fly slowly in a flying boat, using the clouds to cover their whereabouts, and looking down at the convoy on the road from oblique down.
This time, Fang Xiao did the opposite. The flying boat is to "lead the way" in the air in front of the convoy, not according to the usual tracking habits.
Because Fang Xiao knew what the route this convoy was going to take, he could observe it in front of him in advance.
"Master Fang, how long will it take?" Lu Ming urged, "The monks of the eleven sects may inspect the convoy at any time. ”
They had to be the first to strike. After all, they need to rely on attacks, and they have to act unprepared for the convoy.
Fang Xiao said that knowing the right place to start would make it easier to launch a surprise attack, and it would be easy to use the terrain to escape quickly after getting it, and it would also make it impossible for the people of the Spirit Mine to reinforce the convoy in time because of the distance.
He naturally agreed with this approach, and Fang Xiao was right. The right place to do it can make it easier for them to move.
It's just that it's been more than an hour since he left Mengshan Pass, Fang Xiao can calm down, but he can't hold his breath a little anymore.
"Soon, the convoy will have to travel for a maximum of one stick of incense before entering the Thunder Valley, which is a valley, and the convoy monks will not allow the wagons to leave quickly after the attack, where there are often thunderstorms and thunderstorms, and there may be thunderstorms soon after the move, and the traces of the action will be obscured. ”
Fang Xiao grinned and continued, "I'm also anxious, that's the kind of iron that many monks dream of!"
"You don't have to wait too long, that's it. Lu Ming nodded.
Before the time of the incense, the convoy entered a valley. Flanked on both sides by lofty mountains, a road that winds like a river through the middle of a narrow valley. Because the mouth of the valley is narrow, the wind outside blows in and hunts sounds.
Fang Xiao and the others were ready to dive and attack.
And the boy who led the way at the front of the convoy didn't react at the moment, he didn't know that this was Thunder Valley.
Seeing this, the second-ranked convoy monk couldn't help but say to the boy, "Chen Daoyou, you have to speed up and pass through this Thunder Valley." ”
