Chapter 14 Escorting the Caravan
It was a sunny morning, on the wide square, the eyes full of fanatical worship stared closely at the solemn young man, the young man put his hands behind his back, looked at the thirty people lined up neatly in front of him, and said loudly: "If you have any extra words, I Lu Bu will not say much, the task is completed, I will treat you to the best restaurant in the city, and have a good drink!"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, everyone also grinned, although Lu Bu was much younger than them, but his strength was undoubted, and the thrilling battle in the ring was all convincing.
"Get on the horse!"
Looking around at everyone, after a while, Lu Bu waved his hand suddenly, turned over and rode on the red shadow, and ran forward first. Then, thirty people got on their horses, caught up with Lu Bu's pace, and galloped forward.
Outside the gate of the Chongxuan Sect, a caravan of 200 people was already waiting here, and after the logistics personnel of this caravan, there were more than 150 people who were guards.
Lu Bu looked around at this caravan, and admired it in his heart, this caravan was neat and orderly, the outer guards were armed with guns and shields, and they were well-equipped, a team of ten people, a full hundred people. The inner guards carried bows and arrows, and short swords at the waist and hips, and were also in a team of ten people, full of fifty people. And in the center, four well-equipped guards with war horses protect a well-equipped carriage, needless to say, the people in this carriage should be the client of this mission.
A little, on top of the carriage, the curtain was lifted, and a well-dressed young man slowly stepped out of the carriage.
Lu Bu's eyes swept over this person, this person looked to be in his twenties, elegant and shrewd, although he looked polite, he could feel that there was a different energy fluctuation in his body, just like Yu Xuan, a disciple of the Ancient Sword Academy that he saw that day.
This person looked at the people of the Xuan Sect and others, and said: "You have worked, and here is the employer of this mission, Chen Wentai." ”
Lu Bu immediately turned over and dismounted, and said, "I am the leader of this mission, and my surname is Lu Mingbu." ”
"It's a blessing. Chen Wentai smiled and said, "I won't say much if you're polite, this time I'm going to transport a large number of goods to Jinju, and this section of the road is not close, in order to avoid problems on the road, so I decided to hire more capable warriors like you, so that my goods will be safer." As for the treatment, you must already know, but if something does happen along the way, I will give you an additional reward depending on the situation. ”
As soon as they heard that there was an additional reward, the eyes of the Chongxuan Sect and others immediately lit up, and some of them couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "It's good that those bandits and robbers who don't have long eyes don't come, when they come, I will definitely leave no piece of armor left behind them." ”
Seeing that the disciples of the Chongxuan Sect were so heroic and confident, Chen Wentai smiled faintly and said, "In this way, it depends on you." ”
Lu Bu smiled lightly: "Since we have accepted the commission, we will naturally do our best to protect the caravan, you can rest assured." In addition, I see that these guards of yours are all well-equipped, their eyes are bright, and they all have a blood aura on their bodies, they must be an elite army that has experienced a hundred battles!"
Chen Wentai shook his head slightly and said: "It's true that you have experienced a hundred battles, but you don't dare to take the word elite." The elite requires considerable strength, and the Yunzhou Iron Cavalry behind you is the real elite division. ”
Regarding Chen Wentai's words, Lu Bu was also noncommittal, the Yunzhou Iron Cavalry was a special unit established by the inner disciples of the Chongxuan Sect after strict screening, and it was the strongest heavy cavalry in China. Although these inner disciples have not yet graduated from the school, they are not considered Yunzhou Iron Cavalry, but they are definitely worthy of the title of elite.
After a few polite sentences, Chen Wentai returned to the carriage, and Lu Bu also turned over and got on the horse, and after greeting him, he set off with the caravan with the inner disciples.
The caravan marched slowly, Yunzhou is large, but the distance between the cities is relatively far, therefore, the caravan will always pass through the desolate place with few people, here, the bandits are infested, there are not a few, occasionally close to the forest, there will be wild beasts to attack people, therefore, every time they march in this desolate place, the original guards of the caravan will always be vigilant, although their strength is not comparable to these inner disciples, but they have a strong blood and strong violent atmosphere, this is only those who have really experienced cruel fighting, will have。
Maybe the lineup of the caravan was too large, which scared the robbers who were secretly about to move, but along the way, it was very calm, and there were no robbers and robbers. After a month of marching, the caravan finally came to the border of Yunzhou.
Early in the morning, the people of the caravan got up early to pack their bags, as long as they passed this place safely today and arrived in Jinju, then there would be no more obstacles behind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in front of you is the junction of Yunju and Jinju, and in this zone, there is a valley called the Wilderness Valley. Because there was no army stationed nearby, this barren valley became a three-way area, and it was an excellent place for bandits and robbers to live. The caravans that come and go will also be attacked by them, and the slightest resistance will be slaughtered. Therefore, this trip to the Savage Valley to deal with these bandits and robbers depends on everyone. Chen Wentai stepped out of the carriage and bowed to a group of Chongxuan sect disciples.
"Don't worry, just robbers, don't be afraid. As soon as Chen Wentai's words fell, a disciple of the Chongxuan Sect said loudly, his words quite confident.
Others also echoed, and when Chen Wentai saw it, his expression on his face did not change, but he just arched his hand and said, "So, thank you." ”
The caravan continued to march, and in the middle of this canyon, it brought up a faint wisp of yellow dust, which did not disperse for a long time.
The caravan guards guarded the carriage in the middle on the left and right, and as full-time caravan guards all year round, they had a wealth of experience in fighting bandits. And at this moment, marching in this notorious wilderness valley, they naturally maintained a high degree of vigilance, shields and spears were already clenched in their hands, always on guard against all kinds of unexpected situations.
However, on the other hand, the disciples of the Chongxuan Sect were like sightseeing, riding leisurely on horses, and they didn't seem to take this place seriously at all.
As time passed, the caravan gradually marched into the depths of the Savage Valley, and so far, everything has been peaceful. After rounding a small hill, the road ahead suddenly widened, and a wide road led into the distance.
Suddenly, Lu Bu made a move to stop the caravan.
"What's the matter?" Chen Wentai leaned out of the carriage and asked puzzled.
Lu Bu didn't answer, but took the Xuantie bow behind him, put an arrow on it, aimed it at a bush seventy meters in front of him, and then shot it with an arrow.
In an instant, a figure fell from a tree and was killed instantly.
"It's ...... Spy?" Chen Wentai looked at the person who was shot down in surprise, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he turned his gaze to Lu Bu, this young man who was only 17 years old was able to perceive a person 50 meters away so accurately, which was not something that ordinary elite disciples could do.
"It seems that we are welcomed. Lu Bu continued to hold the Xuantie Bow and said, "I will get rid of these spies one by one in the front, so that it will be much easier for the caravan to move." ”
"Okay, okay, that's all there is work. Chen Wentai hurriedly thanked him, and couldn't help but look up a little more in his heart to this young man named Lu Bu.
