Chapter 1380: A Midsummer Night's Dream

Just when everyone in the caravan thought that there was no danger on the way, something went wrong ahead.

The guards found that someone was following the caravan not far away, looking very suspicious, the number of the other party was not much, only three or five people, and it appeared in turns, as long as the guards approached, the other party immediately disappeared into the woods.

"Everyone be careful, this is a bandit spy, they will first test our reality, and then they will come to rob!" "The head of the guard is a black-faced strong man with rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and said in a deep voice.

"Huh, what then?" exclaimed someone in the caravan at once.

"Cheer up, everyone, it's better to get your weapons and make us look strong, maybe the bandits won't dare to come. They also watch the food. The head of the guard said.

Grand Steward Fu nodded, and then ordered: "Hang up the banner of our Great Wei Commercial Bank, and hang it every few cars." ”

The Great Wei Trading House is also one of the well-known big trading houses in Fashen City, and if they hang up their signboards, many forces will give some face, and those bandits will also measure whether they can eat this caravan.

Everyone agreed one after another, and began to arm the convoy in a panic, hanging the flag of the Great Wei Commercial Bank on the carriage.

Only the one-armed guest, Zhang Xinlong, looked arrogant and seemed to be a little dismissive of the impending risk.

Sure enough, there was a noise ahead, and a large group of men and horses emerged from the grass on the side of the road, and in front of them was a cavalry, surrounding the caravan in three ways.

The caravan immediately stopped, and the guards, led by the black-faced commander, drew their swords one after another and took the front.

"Who are you?" exclaimed the blackface leader.

Among the cavalry in front, someone shouted: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, Lao Tzu is from the Black Wind Village!"

As soon as they heard the name of this Black Wind Village, whether it was the black-faced head or the steward of Fu Da, they were all a little confused, because they had never heard of such a bandit.

If the other party is just a nobody, but there will not be such a large force, and look at the cavalry on horseback, all of them are strong and fierce, murderous, and there are even masters above level forty, how can it be a little-known team.

The black-faced regiment leader decided to salute first and then soldier, arched his hand, and said: "We are from the Great Wei Commercial Bank, and we have seen the bosses of the Black Wind Village!"

Steward Fu made a look, and immediately someone took out a pocket and handed it to the black-faced leader.

"Here is a little caution from our Dawei firm, please smile. When you go out, many friends have many roads!" With that, the black-faced head threw the bag containing a hundred jade dollars at the other party.

One of the cavalrymen led by the other side took the pocket, but he didn't even open it, so he laughed.

"What about your Dawei Commercial Bank, this is called Huazi? Tell you, if you don't have tens of thousands of jade yuan to buy the road today, you don't want to go over!"

As soon as he heard that the other party actually opened his mouth and asked for tens of thousands of jade yuan, this made Fu Da Steward's face gloomy all of a sudden.

You must know that this is only a medium-sized caravan, and whether the entire caravan can earn tens of thousands of jade yuan after such a trip is one thing, and the other party is asking for such a fierce price, it is clear that there is nothing to talk about.

Steward Fu and the black-faced head exchanged glances, and the former silently got into the carriage.

But the black-faced regimental leader was as heavy as water, holding the hilt of the knife tightly, seeing that a fight was about to happen.

"Wait a minute! I'm going to talk to him. At this moment, Zhang Xinlong, the one-armed man from the wilderness guard, took the initiative to speak.

The black-faced head was a little surprised, but in line with his concern for his companions, he said in a deep voice: "Be careful, don't be too big! ”

The one-armed man Zhang Xinlong nodded, and alone, rode his horse towards the other party.

To tell the truth, as soon as he left, everyone in the caravan sweated for him.

There are at least one hundred and ten people on the opposite side, this Xinlong is alone, or a one-armed, in case of a move on the other side, can he bear it?

Zhang Xinlong walked to a position ten steps away from the opposite cavalry and stopped.

"Lao Tzu is Zhang Xinlong, tell your leader to come out and speak!" Zhang Xinlong, the one-armed man, shouted loudly.

Among the group of cavalry, a strong man carried a sledgehammer and walked out slowly.

This strong man did not ride a horse, but mixed in with the cavalry, perhaps because he was too big, almost like a humanoid monster, standing among the cavalry, but he did not feel short, but even more powerful.

"Are you Zhang Xinlong?" the beast-like man roared.

Zhang Xinlong said proudly: "There is no bandit in this wilderness who does not recognize me Zhang Xinlong! Unless you are not bandits at all!"

The strong man of the Warcraft tilted his head and said loudly: "I have heard of Zhang Xinlong's name, but how do I know if you are not?"

The one-armed man Zhang Xinlong laughed, pulled out an iron spear from the space with his backhand, twisted his waist and stretched his arms, and aimed the spear at the monster giant.

As soon as he made such a move, the cavalry on the opposite side drew their crossbow arrows one after another and aimed their arrows at him.

Zhang Xinlong suddenly turned around and shot a spear towards the woods next to him.

The black iron spear made a thunderous sound, and lightning shot into a big tree that the two of them were hugging, blasting a big hole in the tree, and the iron spear went directly through the big tree and sank into the dense forest.

The power of this spear is really not bad, if it hits a person, even if it is a warrior class with high blood and thick defense, it will definitely not be able to stop it.

At least a warrior of about forty years cannot be stopped, and at least a warrior above forty-two level can be safe and sound under this spear.

The strong man carrying the sledgehammer's face changed drastically, and he immediately put the sledgehammer across his chest, apparently very jealous of this Zhang Xinlong's spear skills.

"It turns out that it's really Zhang Xinlong! Look up for a long time!" the strong man hurriedly said.

The one-armed man Zhang Xinlong said with a cold and arrogant face: "I took over the escort task of the Great Wei Commercial Bank, I will follow this trip, if you don't give up, then come to fight!"

Before the words fell, the thirty horsemen behind Zhang Xinlong drew their spears in their hands at the same time, and shouted angrily: "Come to battle!"

This group of people is menacing, and they are really a bit powerful.

The strong man with the hammer hurriedly laughed and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Since Zhang Xinlong is here, then we have to give this face! Brothers, withdraw!"

With that, the strong man with the hammer turned around and left, and in the blink of an eye, the hundreds of bandits were all gone.

Zhang Xinlong kept a cold appearance, until there was no trace of those bandits in his field of vision, then he turned his head and said coldly to the Fu steward: "Wasted a good iron spear on my part." ”

Grand Steward Fu was shocked, and hurriedly smiled: "All the equipment consumption on this trip is all my Dawei Commercial Bank! Boss Zhang, the true god is also admired!"

As soon as Steward Fu gave a thumbs up, the businessmen around him suddenly became gossipy, all of them were compliments and admiration, and all kinds of praises were overflowing.

It seems that the Great Wei Commercial Bank really did not make a mistake in hiring this Uncle Zhang Xinlong, such a big group of bandits, I heard him report his name and retreated, this Zhang Ye is really too violent!

Lu Menglan and Duanmu Qingyi also saw the scene that happened in front of the caravan, but their reactions were completely different.

"Is this the rivers and lakes? You give me face, I'll give you face, everyone is good to talk about, don't move, it looks harmonious!" Duanmu Qingyi covered his mouth and smiled softly.

Lu Menglu nodded, he also felt a little interesting, because he had never entered such a low-level world, did the rivers and lakes of these low-level characters look like this?

The appearance of the bandits was like a small episode for this Great Wei caravan, and it was quickly left behind.

In the evening, the Great Wei caravan came to the next water source, and everyone began to set up camp.

This is a lake, the remnant sun is like blood, the flat lake is like a mirror, and the afterglow of the sunset falls on the lake, like a little golden light, like a fairyland.

Lu Menglu and Duanmu Qingyi got out of the carriage, looking at the calm and waveless lake, only to feel a cool feeling with water vapor coming to their faces, which made people feel refreshed.

"If only you could go boating on the lake! No one disturbs you, and you can lie down and watch the stars at night." Brother Wu, have you ever caught fireflies when you were a child? Every summer night, there are many fireflies by the lake, just like the stars in the sky, very beautiful. Duanmu Qingyi's expression at this moment was like that of a girl who had not been deeply involved in the world, and her face was full of touching affection.

Lu Menglu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I've seen it! It was common when I was a child, but it was rare when I grew up." ”

"Because adults think too much about things, they don't have the simple-mindedness of children, so they want to go to find fireflies. Duanmu Qingyi said coquettishly.

If you just look at her simple appearance, you can't imagine that this woman used to be the most hidden conspirator in Tianzun Divine City, and she was also the Divine Emperor Concubine for a few days.

Just as the two of them were staring at the lake, footsteps were heard behind them.

"Hey, you two brothers and sisters go to the middle of the camp to find the chief steward, he has something to do with you. "There was a caravan guard who walked over, and when he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Duanmu Qingyi a few more times, and that look seemed to swallow her.

Lu Menglan frowned, obviously a little unhappy, he didn't want to be disturbed all the time.

"Brother Wu, it's okay to go and have a look. Let's just follow the local customs, and the guests follow the host. Duanmu Qingyi was not wary, but wanted to fit in with this caravan.

Lu Menglu nodded and strode to follow, and the two soon arrived in the center of the camp.

A large bonfire was still lit in the center of the camp, and the flames were so blazing that the faces of everyone present were illuminated.

In front of the bonfire, the Grand Steward Fu sat on a folding chair, crossed his legs, and on his left was Zhang Xinlong, who had newly joined the caravan, and a group of Zhang Xinlong's subordinates, and to the right of the Grand Steward Fu was the head of the caravan's previous escort regiment, the black-faced man.

"Brother and sister Xiaomu are here! You came just in time!" As soon as Steward Fu saw Lu Menglu and Duanmu Qingyi, he immediately burst into laughter.

Suddenly, the other people who were sitting or standing in front of the campfire all looked at the brother and sister who had come in unison.
