Chapter 546: In the Forest

The caravan was too hurried during the day, fearing that because it was too hurried during the day, everyone would lose energy at night, and it would be easy to be taken out by the robbers who suddenly appeared.

Although Xu Dongjia didn't believe that there would be robbers to rob his caravan at this time, some precautions should still be prepared, like the weapons in the hands of the subordinates, they were not taken back, and they were still in the hands of the subordinates.

After walking more than thirty miles and less than forty miles, the caravan surrounded the city in front of a forest, ready to rest here.

The place was chosen by Steward Xing, and the reason is very good, saying that in the past, when he took this road, the caravan would stop at this place.

Xu Dongjia didn't ask much, everything was arranged by Steward Xing, he said that the owner was the owner of the entire caravan, but in fact, the person in charge was still Steward Xing, and he, the proprietor, was just a handshaker steward, who only followed the caravan escorting the goods, and handed over other things to Steward Xing to do, and he didn't understand many things.

After dinner, probably because the passers-by were tired for a few days in a row, Xu Dongjia entered his carriage early to rest, leaving Long Zun and Yang Dazhu behind.

As usual, Long Zun sat in front of the fire and closed his eyes to rest, actually cultivating, Yang Dazhu sat cross-legged and began to practice the exercises that Long Zun taught him.

For the two of them to be so weird, the people in the caravan have long been used to it, and there were guards before seeing that Yang Dazhu was a martial arts realm cultivator, so they were very interested in Long Zun, who couldn't see the depth.

Later, I found out that Long Zun was completely an ordinary person, and he was very lazy, except for eating and sleeping all day long, so he didn't go.

Don't blame them, Long Zun's current cultivation, it is difficult for ordinary martial arts sects to see the depth, in the eyes of those martial disciples whose cultivation is only in the warrior realm or even in the warrior realm, Long Zun is completely an ordinary person who does not know how to cultivate.

Of course, it's not that no one thought that Long Zun would be very powerful, but looking at Long Zun's youthful appearance, looking at Yang Dazhu, who was a little older on the side, was just a martial arts cultivator, thinking that Long Zun didn't look like a powerful lord, and it was more likely that he was an ordinary person.

"Could it really be as Xu Dongjia said, the robbers won't come. Absorbing the residual medicinal power of the Condensation Pill in his body, Yang Dazhu collected his strength, turned his head to look at Long Zun and said.

He knew that he didn't look at Long Zun and didn't speak, he kept his eyes closed and rested, but in fact, he still knew everything around him clearly.

"Yes. Long Zun didn't say much, just said a word, but he was extremely sure.

"Ah, the robbers are really coming? Didn't they say they were almost to the town ahead? Why would they be so bold as to rob our caravan? Yang Dazhu believed Long Zun's words, but he felt that what Xu Dongjia said before was also very reasonable.

Long Zun slowly opened his eyes and said, "The goose plucked its feathers, for the robbers, such a fat caravan passed by their ground, how could they not make a move, unless the caravan and those robbers are the same family." ”

Of course, Yang Dazhu didn't think that the robbers and the caravan were the same, so he asked, "When will the robbers make a move?"

"Tonight or tomorrow night, you should be careful these two days, and the robbers will not leave my surroundings. Long Zun said.

One of the people who had just walked by here laughed when he heard Long Zun's words, "Hey, the owner has said that the robbers will not come, and more than a hundred miles further is Shanyang Town, even if the robbers want to do it, they will not do it now, they can do it a few days earlier." ”

Long Zun smiled lightly, didn't say anything, didn't bother to tell the difference.

Yang Dazhu on the side was reluctant, he believed Long Zun's words, and retorted to his subordinates: "How do you know that the robbers will not come, and I also said that the robbers will come!

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of a fire not far away, where several caravan guards were seated, all wearing leather armor and with their blades at hand.

The subordinate only glanced at it, and then said, "What do those guards know? Our proprietor is a man who has read poetry and books, and he said that there will be no robbers, and naturally there will be none." ”

This time, Yang Dazhu didn't bother to distinguish between them, and with a person who was completely engaged in a personality cult, it was completely nonsense to talk about it, so he sneered and said nothing.

When the subordinates saw it, they thought that they had defeated Yang Dazhu and left triumphantly.

In the middle of the night, the breeze came slowly, bringing a trace of coolness to the scorching night.

In the second half of the night, there was a snoring sound in the caravan, and even the patrolling guards were sleepy, patrolling the caravan little by little by inertia.

The guards guarding the carriage at the outermost part of the caravan were even more uncomfortable, they could not walk, they could only move in a small area above the carriage, and the drowsiness was even more difficult to drive away, and from time to time they would unconsciously nod their heads downward, and then wake up, look around, continue to fall asleep and nod again, and wake up again...... And so on and so forth.

Rustle, rustle, rustle

There was a rustling sound in the forest, but it was not loud, and those who did not know thought that it was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves on the branches.

But for the leader of the caravan guards, this kind of sound is very familiar, it is obvious that there are people walking around in the forest, and there must be a lot of people listening to the sound.

The leader of the caravan guard hesitated, but finally did not inform the others, but slowly leaned towards the carriage himself, and looked at the forest where the sound came from.

After a short time, he saw that there were obviously some shadows in the forest that did not belong to the shadows of the trees shaking, and if he were not experienced, it would be difficult for him to be an ordinary guard.

At this time, I don't know when, the caravan's steward Xing came behind him.

"You found out?" said Steward Xing, standing behind the leader of the guards, without a hint of worry in his voice.

The leader of the guards turned around, and when he saw that it was Steward Xing, he whispered: "The people have already arrived in the forest, I am afraid that they will attack the caravan in a while, it seems that there are still a lot of people, I am afraid that the caravan will be difficult to resist." ”

"Then don't resist, just withdraw, the province has lost your life in vain. Steward Xing smiled and said, but his smile was so weird in the dim night.

The leader of the guards hesitated for a moment and said: "Just withdraw like this, I'm afraid that the caravan won't even have a chance to react, and it will be slaughtered by the robbers in the forest, and then my escort team will be completely destroyed, and I'm afraid that no caravan will dare to hire me in the future." ”

Steward Xing said lightly: "What are you afraid of? The money you get is enough for you to enjoy for the rest of your life." ”

The leader of the guard hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded heavily.

Steward Xing laughed and patted the head of the guard on the shoulder with his hand in satisfaction.
