Chapter 70: The Whitebeard Caravan

"Desert boar people?" Lu Bu looked at these wild boar people, there were sixty or seventy of them, almost all of them were dark red, but in between, there were also two black boar people, and their movements and skills were obviously much faster.

On the city wall, the guards had already pulled out the bowstring, and the dazzling red blood was condensed on the arrows, and then, under the instructions of the general, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and in an instant, these desert boar people gathered under the city wall were all pierced by ten thousand arrows and died.

"Actually, this place was originally just a wilderness, uninhabited at all, and belonged to an uncivilized place. But in this desert of death, there will often be some desert monsters through the entrance, running into the territory of China to cause trouble, and among them, this wild boar people are the most numerous, the most destructive, they usually haunt in groups, almost no grass is left everywhere they go. That's why the imperial court broke through all obstacles and built a fortress here. The maid's onion-like jade fingers plucked the strings a few times and said softly.

"Keep playing. Lu Bu returned to his seat, tasted grape wine, and said lightly.

In the room, the pipa song sounded again, like a golden iron horse, but it also revealed the tragedy of a horse leather shroud.

"Fifteen from the army, eighty years to return, how many soldiers have achieved fame, and how many soldiers have been shrouded in horse leather. At this moment, Lu Bu's mind couldn't help but emerge again, the desperate situation of Baimen Tower, the final trap.

A song and a reason, a dance to solve a thousand sorrows.

......

In the early morning, the dazzling sunlight shone through the window, which was very dazzling, and Lu Bu couldn't help but open his eyes and stretched his waist greatly.

"I didn't expect to drink too much by accident. Lu Bu sat up, rubbed his somewhat swollen head, picked up a glass of water casually, and drank it in one gulp.

After hastily having breakfast, Lu Bu packed up his salute, greeted the maid outside the door, and walked straight downstairs.

"Welcome back next time!" said the maid softly.

Holding the red shadow, Lu Bu walked on the hot street, and suddenly, there was a commotion at the city gate, and a huge caravan slowly came forward, and the city gate guards all respectfully made way of the way.

"This caravan is such a big show. Lu Bu couldn't help but say, and the passers-by beside him listened to it, and immediately turned their heads and said, "This gentleman is a foreigner at first glance, and this caravan is not an ordinary caravan." ”

"Oh? Lu Bu was a little curious, and the passer-by looked at the white-bearded old man who led the caravan and said, "This caravan is called the Whitebeard Caravan, but it is the only caravan that is personally approved by the emperor and represents the imperial court. Everywhere must be allowed to pass unconditionally, and any state and county officials must be courteous. Moreover, they also have the right to sell land, county seats, and even county seats, and the seal of a city granted by them personally is quite officially recognized, and the emperor must recognize. ”

Lu Bu was stunned, and said in his heart that this white-bearded caravan is really a big deal, and with such a big power, it is really amazing.

"Who is this whitebeard?" asked Lu Bu.

"No one knows what his real name is, only that he calls himself Whitebeard. Every year, they will go south and north, travel around, and resell the specialties of various places to all parts of China, bringing countless conveniences and benefits to various places, and driving the economic development of various places, so even if they are not the caravans of the imperial court, all the states and counties, from the officials to the people, are all welcome to them. ”

"I see, what an amazing person. Lu Bu shook his head secretly, he had been practicing wholeheartedly, but he had ignored many things around him, and he didn't even know about such characters.

"So, are they here to do business in Yancheng this time?" asked Lu Bu.

"This is one aspect, Whitebeard is here, in fact, there is another thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Into the desert of death. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned, where is this Death Desert, can you just go there? A caravan running there, it can't be an expedition!

"What did they mean by entering the Death Desert?" Lu Bu couldn't help but ask curiously.

It is said that this was Whitebeard's ideal, and he wanted to establish a trade route in this dead desert, which he called the Silk Road, to connect the trade between the East and the West. ”

"This kind of ideal is a bit unrealistic!" Lu Bu smashed his mouth and said.

"Who knows, it is said that they set up outposts all the way through this Death Desert, which stored a lot of food and water, and slowly penetrated into the depths of the Death Desert until they passed through the entire Death Desert. ”

Lu Bu squinted his eyes, even if he established an outpost, it would be even more difficult to pass through the Death Desert, but with this ideal and put it into action, this determination alone, and this achievement, was already worthy of everyone's respect.

"What an interesting old man. Looking at the white beard that was nearly eighty years old, but still strong and strong, Lu Bu couldn't help but be in awe of him.

The caravan marched through the city in an orderly manner, in a neat formation and in unison, as if it were a regular army. However, the further back he went, the more Lu Bu felt that this caravan was far from being as simple as he imagined.

The heavily armed Yunzhou Iron Cavalry, the lightly armed Fengyun Cavalry, the Blood Shadow Archers equipped with the Snow Silver Longbow, the attacking and killing swordsmen who come and go like the wind, and the Yulin Guards with spears and big shields, and even the most scarce auxiliary Taoist priests, occultists, this caravan is each equipped with a team.

A caravan, with more than 3,000 people, actually included almost all the top troops in China, and the luxury was jaw-dropping. The strength of such a top-notch unit can be imagined.

"Who is this whitebeard?" Lu Bu secretly said in his heart, being able to bring such a top-level elite army under his command is not something that can be done just with money, without extraordinary courage, but he can't control this scene.

Now he completely understands why he can travel around the country, and various states and counties can come and go freely, such top elite troops, and with the imperial order in hand, who is not afraid of death dares to trouble them.

Seeing this caravan slowly walking towards the Death Desert, Lu Bu felt an indescribable envy in his heart, and at the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that one day, he would also form such a force.

Holding the red shadow, Lu Bu strode out of the city, and right now, improving his strength is the first thing.

Turning over and getting on the horse, Lu Bu picked up the reins, and shouted "drive" lightly, and suddenly, the red shadow galloped away like a gust of wind, raising the dust all the way.

The blue sky, the clear sky, and on a galloping road, Lu Bu rode the red shadow and galloped forward, the wind was howling in his ears, but there was an indescribable refreshment.

In the distance, the outline of a magnificent city gradually appeared in his sight, and Lu Bu smiled faintly: "Yunzhou City, I, Lu Bu, are back." ”

The Chongxuan faction asked the mountain pavilion, and Lu Bu pushed open the door, only to see Ling Yun wearing a battle armor, with his hands behind his back, and he was already waiting here.

"For example, it's even faster!" Ling Yunzhi turned around, looked at Lu Bu who pushed the door in, and said with a light smile: "I haven't seen you this year, you have grown taller again." ”

"yes, it's been a year. Lu Bu couldn't help but feel in his heart that he had really experienced a lot of things in the past year.

"Come, sit. Ling Yunzhi sat on the seat and made a gesture of please.

Lu Bu sat opposite Ling Yunzhi, and the two of them raised their glasses and drank each other, eating deliciously, very happily.

"Tell me about what has happened over the past year. Ling Yunzhi smiled lightly.

Lu Bu took a sip of wine and told everything he had seen and heard this year, Ling Yunzhi couldn't help nodding frequently, only to feel that Lu Bu had really experienced a lot along the way, but it was precisely because of this that Lu Bu's growth would be so rapid.

"At the age of 20, you can cultivate your true qi to the 27th level, and today I am afraid that you will only be alone. Ling Yunzhi couldn't help but sigh, it is really a talented person from generation to generation, and the blue is better than the blue.

"During this time, have the nomads invaded again?" asked Lu Bu.

Ling Yunzhi took a sip of wine, his face showed a trace of sadness, and said, "The nomads have attacked on a large scale this time, and even the great wizards and nomadic elites have been sent here, but they should not be underestimated. What really worries me, though, is the beginning of the Chinese Civil War. Yuan Jinghan of Jinzhou has already started a war with Yunfeng of Ningzhou. ”

"It's already started. Lu Bu took a bite to eat and said, "So, who wins and who loses?"

"There are victories and defeats for each other, and Yunfeng in Ningzhou is not an idle person, fighting head-on, not inferior to the Yuan family's army. Ling Yunzhi said: "Although Ningzhou's comprehensive strength is far inferior to Jinzhou, it may not be weak in a head-to-head showdown." ”

"War is never just a comparison of strengths. Lu Bu's dark eyes flashed with excitement, the same troops, led by different people, the effect is very different.

In the Askshan Pavilion, the two of them drank and ate, and when they were full of wine and food, Ling Yun's eyes were full of light.

"Then, if you have enough food and drink, let's have a fight! Let me see if your strength can go through a hundred rounds in my hands!" Ling Yunzhi got up, picked up the Staff of Judgment on the shelf, carried it on his shoulder, and said solemnly.

"Well, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's halberd and had already put on a posture.

The strong momentum suddenly broke out, and the two confronted each other, even if they had not yet fought a decisive battle, the domineering momentum had already begun to compete with each other.

Suddenly, the pupils of the two of them contracted instantly, and they rushed towards each other almost at the same time. In the Wenshan Pavilion, Fang Tian's painting halberd and the staff of judgment collided together, and in an instant, a surging energy spread out, overturning a large number of tables and chairs in the hall.

The next moment, Lu Bu held Fang Tian's halberd and turned back, and Ling Yunzhi's offensive had already followed, and the two fought fiercely for thirty rounds, but they were evenly divided.

"Okay, it's worthy of Lu Bu among people, the true qi realm is four times inferior to me, but he can still fight with me!" At this moment, Ling Yunzhi had no reservations, and went all out, that domineering orange aura, every time he struck, it was like a thousand powers, and Lu Bu's hands were numb.

In the blink of an eye, the two fought for another thirty rounds, Lu Bu had already fallen behind, Ling Yunzhi was among the leaders, his strength was the closest to the legendary top master, the domineering strength, the head-to-head duel could be described as invincible, however, that Lu Bu still relied on the mysterious halberd method, rich combat experience, he was able to almost level Ling Yunzhi, given time, if he could cultivate to the same realm, Ling Yunzhi's heart couldn't help but be shocked, I was afraid that at that time, he would no longer be his opponent.
