Chapter 1838: So It Was Like This
After the second convoy got on the road on the left, Tong Zi, Elder Zhao, Wang Lun and others stared at the convoy from a distance to observe the situation.
A few people were not afraid that the enemies around the spirit mine would move on the convoy in front of the gate of the spirit mine, and what they observed was whether the convoy could drive over smoothly.
Because the news that the convoy was carrying the iron was top secret, it was not leaked, but several people had to consider this possibility. If the secret is really leaked, the enemies around the spirit mine will definitely block the convoy.
After several people observed, they found that the second convoy was not intercepted, and Elder Zhao nodded slightly: "The news should not have leaked out." ”
Immediately after, a third convoy also came out of the gate and entered the left lane as well.
The configuration of the convoy was the same as that of the first and second convoys, with six people, two wagons, and eight alien beasts.
Finally, the fourth convoy slowly drove out of the gate.
But the configuration of this convoy is a little more "shabby", with only four people, one carriage, and only five alien beasts.
Wang Lun and others all know that this last convoy is the No. 3 convoy, that is, the smallest of the three convoys involved in transporting the iron.
"Elder Liu, the convoy you are responsible for is clear at a glance. Elder Zhao smiled and said to the person beside him.
The third convoy was only escorted by one Yuanying monk, and this person was Elder Liu.
"One of the four members of the convoy was very similar to me, and after the convoy left Monsanguan, I was able to disguise himself without much thought. ”
Elder Liu was a little fat, and said with a smile at the moment.
As for the No. 1 and No. 2 convoys, how to distinguish them, it is not yet known, and it will not be able to see until the convoy parted ways at Monsanguan.
Of course, this does not delay the task of several people. They will only take the opportunity to disguise themselves as convoy monks and replace them after the convoy leaves Monsanpass.
Therefore, from here to Monsanguan, they will only follow from a distance and will not interfere in the affairs of the convoy. Even, when they encounter a robbery of the convoy, as long as it is not a very harmful robbery, they cannot take action, so as not to be exposed.
Elder Zhao didn't forget this, and said solemnly at this moment: "Everyone, what needs to be reminded is that the enemy around the Spirit Mine may personally go into battle, or order others to feign a sneak attack on the convoy on the way before the convoy arrives at Mengshan Pass. ”
Several people nodded.
On the hill, several people stared at the convoy for a long time, but did not find that the enemy appeared to intercept the convoy.
And the door of the spirit mine has long been closed.
Elder Zhao took out a piece of communication jade slip and began to contact the other party.
The first time I contacted, the other party did not answer.
Elder Zhao was not in a hurry, and waited for a few minutes before trying to contact him for the second time.
This time, the other party connected.
"Elder Ye, is it safe for you to speak over there now?" Elder Zhao still asked, even though he knew that the other party must have arrived in a safe place before answering his call request.
"It's safe. The other one replied.
Elder Zhao didn't set up an enchantment, so the conversation with that Elder Ye could also be heard by Wang Lun and the others next to him.
Wang Lun knew that Elder Zhao should be contacting the Spirit Sect Yuanying Elder in the Spirit Mine.
"What's going on with the convoy?" Elder Zhao asked.
"The four convoys have all left safely, and the enemies around the spirit mine have not directly intercepted them, but the eleven sects such as the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have Yuanying Cultivators who have used their divine senses to probe the cultivation of the convoy members. ”
"There's nothing wrong, right?" Elder Zhao asked seriously after hearing this. Even within the spirit mine, there are very few people who know that this time they are secretly transporting the iron under the guise of transporting spirit stones, and the person who the sect leader Guo Qunqi arranged for him to contact the spirit mine is Elder Ye, and he can only learn about the situation from Elder Ye, so he will try his best to ask the details clearly.
"They can't find out the problem," Elder Ye's sneering voice came through the jade slip, "The members of the four convoys are all cultivators who used to transport spirit stones, and their cultivation is in the two realms of the Foundation Building Realm and the Jiedan Realm, which means that their physiognomy and cultivation are fixed, and it only takes them a short time to know the basic situation of the convoy members through the intelligence personnel of their respective sects, so they can easily make comparisons." ”
"That's right. Elder Zhao agreed.
Because none of the four convoys were cheating, all the convoy personnel were the same people who transported the spirit stones before. The enemy has basic information in hand to compare, and there is no problem with comparison.
However, Elder Zhao still said, "The people of the eleven sects think that the four convoys have no problem when they leave the spirit mine, but that doesn't mean that their suspicions have completely disappeared. ”
"What Elder Zhao said is right, but I have calculated that the number of Yuanying Cultivators from the eleven sects here in the Spirit Mine cannot support each of them to send a Yuanying Monk out to operate. Elder Ye said steadily.
When Wang Lun and the others heard this, they naturally understood what this meant.
When the people of the eleven sects saw the four convoys leaving, even if they confirmed that there was no problem with the entourage of the convoy, they would still suspect that there might be iron in the carriage, and they would not directly give up their investigation of the four convoys.
Then the simplest and most effective way is undoubtedly to send the Yuan Infant Monk, and after the four convoys arrived somewhere, the Yuan Infant Monk personally took action to check the contents of the carriage. Because the entourage of the convoy is not highly cultivated, and the enemy is the Yuanying Monk, it is natural that it can be easily checked successfully.
But this method can't actually be implemented.
Because it is not enough to just send one or two Yuanying monks, and the eleven sects are not monolithic, each of them still wants to get the iron, this family sent the Yuanying monks, but that one can't send people to go, so they can only stay in the spirit mine to confront the Lingzong monks, why are they willing?
Therefore, the only way is for each of the eleven sects to send a Yuanying Monk out to act.
And Elder Ye said that after doing this, among the Yuanying cultivators of the eleven sects, those who stayed here in the spirit mine would suddenly lose eleven people.
Obviously, after there are so many fewer masters, the confrontation situation will be broken, and the Yuanying Monk of the Spirit Sect will have the opportunity to bring Xi Tie directly to his body and bring him back to the Spirit Sect.
"I've seen it, none of the Yuanying monks around the spirit mine have left, obviously they also know this," Elder Ye continued, "They will still contact their respective sects and send the Jiedan monks to test the four convoys, but firstly, there are Jiedan monks in the convoy who can deal with it, and secondly, the enemy does not dare to casually and forcibly injure the monks of the convoy and forcibly destroy the carriages for inspection." ”
"This situation is within the estimated range," Elder Zhao said, "as long as we don't run into the Yuanying Monk, the convoy should be safe." ”
After all, the three convoys were secretly escorted by the Yuanying Monk, if the enemy sent the Yudan Monk
Intending to forcibly inspect the convoy, the Yuan Infant Monk of the convoy at the last moment will definitely stabilize the situation and make the enemy regret it.
"Okay, if Elder Zhao still has something to ask, you can contact me at any time. "Elder Ye seems to be about to end the call.
"Yes. ”
"Then I wish you can lead the convoy and arrive in Yezhou smoothly. Elder Ye blessed and cut off the contact.
Wang Lun listened to the conversation between the two from beginning to end, and asked, "Elder Zhao, are the three convoys secretly hiding?"
There's something weird about it. That Elder Ye didn't take the initiative to contact Elder Zhao to remind the latter when the convoy left the spirit mine.
Just listening to the conversation between the two before, there is nothing strange about it. Wang Lun also suddenly remembered this.
It stands to reason that the three convoys were secretly carrying the iron and were about to leave the spirit mine, which meant that the convoy was about to be handed over to Elder Zhao and the five people, and for the sake of handover, Elder Ye should take the initiative to inform Elder Zhao.
Of course, Elder Ye didn't do this, and there can be a reasonable explanation. That is, Elder Ye knew that Elder Zhao and the other five people must be staring at the gate of the spirit mine nearby, and as soon as the convoy left the spirit mine, the five people would know immediately.
But in the end, this is still a point that Wang Lun finds a little strange.
"It's all iron," Elder Zhao looked at Wang Lun, "Why does Elder Wang ask that?"
"The accompanying monks of the convoy will not be under great pressure because they know the importance of this transportation mission, so they will behave abnormally, right?" Wang Lun hurriedly gave the reason for asking, "In case of abnormal behavior, it may not be able to hide from the nearby enemy. ”
"I see. Elder Zhao was stunned.
No one else, including the boy, was suspicious.
Elder Zhao explained: "The monks of the convoy didn't know that there was a breathing iron in the carriage, they only thought that this time the delivery task was still the previous spirit stone transportation mission, and this point was already taken into account by the sect master. ”
Wang Lun nodded.
From Elder Zhao's words, Wang Lun couldn't tell whether the three convoys were carrying the rest of the iron, whether all three convoys were carrying, or whether there were only one or two of them.
As far as the action of him and Zhou Ape is concerned, of course, he hopes that the three convoys will secretly transport the iron, so that when Lu Ming and Fang Xiao sneak attack the convoy, there will be no flaws in the convoy, and there will be a breath of iron, which will make the two people crazy and attract those two to make a move, and then Zhou Ape's dead soldiers will have a chance to get the iron.
Of course, if none of the three convoys carried the iron, it would not have a great impact on his and Zhou Ape's plans.
So even if he didn't ask the result from Elder Zhao, he had nothing to be disappointed about.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's wait for a stick of incense in the same place to see if there is any movement around the spirit mine, if there is no movement, we will set off and follow the convoy to Mengshan Pass. ”
Elder Zhao said about the next task arrangement.
Soon, the time for a stick of incense passed.
There were no monks around the mine who flew away with flying magic weapons to pursue the convoy, and no monks attacked the spirit mine.
Obviously, Elder Ye's analysis was very correct, the Yuanying Monks of these eleven sects still knew that the iron was in the Spirit Mine, and they were worried that if they were gone, the Spirit Sect Yuanying Monks in the Spirit Mine would not be afraid of their blockade and would leave with the Iron Mine, so they didn't dare to take any action and continued to confront the Spirit Sect Monks.
