Chapter 040: Buying Road Wealth

The sunset is slanting in the west, the tired birds return to their nests, Xiaoxing County is clothed in a layer of twilight, Ye Xinling and Lei Ren found Wanbaolou but did not see the world. According to common sense, Shenxing Tianxia is near Wanbaolou, but there is only one restaurant, a gambling house and a pawnshop nearby, where is the shadow of Shenxing Tianxia.

Ye Xinling saw that the merchant came down from the mountain with the shelves, so he stepped forward and bought a small object at random to ask the seller.

"This little brother, do you know where the gods are in the world?"

"Big sister, are you going to send a letter?"

Ye Xinling smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

The merchant pointed to the path he had come down and said, "Go along this mountain road, cross the bridge and turn left, and you will be there in a short time." ”

The road he said was very narrow, the bluestone stairs were in tatters, and in some places it was directly dirt roads, and the road led to the top of the mountain, and there were only a few scattered earthen houses along the way, and there were no people, and some faint lights were projected from above.

Ye Xinling thanked the seller, and did not go up the mountain immediately, according to the merchant said that the Xiaoxing branch of the world is halfway up the mountain, the location is too remote, Xiaoxing County is really different from other places, who guarantees that this seemingly honest merchant is not a bandit, and he specially deceives people to rob after going up the mountain?

"Go see?" Lei Ren asked her.

"Wait a minute." After the merchant walked away, she went to a tavern, bought some food and wine, and by the way, gave a tip of two lower grade spirit beads, and asked where the little two gods in the hall were in the world.

Xiao Er, who got the tip, smiled happily, pointed to the top and said, "On it, after going up, you will see a suspension bridge, and it will not be far after crossing the suspension bridge." But it's so late, girl, you'd better not go up, or just rest in our store for the night, and go back tomorrow. ”

It seems that the merchant didn't lie to her, but Xiao Er vaguely told her that it was not safe to go up the mountain at night.

Ye Xinling took the things and walked out of the tavern with a smile, and she handed a packet of dried meat to Lei Ren. "Fill your stomach first, wait until you have the strength to hit someone."

The road up is more difficult, most of them are dirt roads that have been stepped on for many years, there are few stone steps, and the road surface is not smooth. Ye Xinling and Lei Ren did not have a lamp, and the two went up the mountain in the dark. The lights are easy to attract the attention of others, and if there are really mountain bandits, they can find the two of them at once.

The two of them walked very lightly, and when they passed a house, the family's earth dog kept barking wildly, and the iron chain was so tight that it tried to rush out. All the dogs began to bark. Judging by the sound, they are all fierce dogs.

At this moment, the courtyard door opened, the light came out from inside, and a man with an iron in his hand watched them vigilantly. After a while, another woman came out of it, and the woman was carrying two kitchen knives in her hands. Look at the frame of the two, as long as they dare to approach, the two dare to rush up and fight hard!

Xiaoxing County is indeed Xiaoxing County, and the mountain people are so fierce.

The husband and wife kept noticing that they were out of sight before turning around and returning to the courtyard, and along the way, every time Ye Xinling and the two of them arrived at a house, there would be a man standing at the door with a weapon.

The barking of the dog became farther and farther, the lights had disappeared behind him, and Ye Xinling threw herself back into the darkness. There was no one in front of her, and there was a sound of rustling in the woods from time to time, and she held the peach blossom sword at her waist, paying attention to the movements around her at any time.

Lei Ren was right behind her, and he seemed to be careless when he walked, but in fact, he had covered a radius of half a mile with his divine sense, and the sound of those rustling was basically the sound made by the little beasts on the mountain when they walked, so he didn't pay attention to it.

After about a quarter of an hour, the drawbridge was close in front of him, but Lei Ren suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xinling turned her head and asked him.

"There's an ambush."

The suspension bridge is the only way to the mountain, and seven or eight people are lying in ambush around the suspension bridge.

The law and order in Qingyang County is very good, and the road is not closed at night, but Xiaoxing County is next to Qingyang County, but the situation is the opposite. There are fierce dogs in every house, and the lights have been turned off early in the beloved family, except for those gambling houses and wine shops, the lights are on, and the rest of the place is dark.

Looking down from the bottom of the mountain, there are only a few points of light in the big county. The children of the good family rarely walk outside at night, and even if they do, they are armed and in groups.

Xiaoxing County at night is actually more lively than during the day, many bandit grandfathers robbed things during the day, and came to have fun at night, so the entertainment industry in Xiaoxing County is the most prosperous.

Most of the bandits are scoundrels and ruffians, but there are always a few powerful masters when there are many villages. Very early Ye Xinling heard that Xiaoxing County in the prestige village is the most ferocious, burning, killing and looting everything, the treasure is not left behind, the women are all robbed, even the teenage girls do not let go, it is said that its big boss Wei Tianhu has a habit of raping and killing young children.

The largest village is Yixing Village, there are more than 2,000 bandits in the village, and its family members are said to have been generals of Wuguo, but later they ran to Xiaoxing County for some reason to become bandit leaders. The general trained these bandits in the same way as soldiers, and Yixingzhai did things in the style of the military, and it was very difficult to be decisive and tough.

However, the most feared thing in Xiaoxing County is another cottage, this cottage has only 100 people, it is a very small village in Xiaoxing County, but even if this village is as fierce as a majestic village, strong as Yixing Village will not take the initiative to provoke, the identity of the owner of the village is still a mystery.

Near the drawbridge, the group hid in a tree by the side of the road, and two of them had crossbows in their hands, and the arrows on the crossbows were black in color, which should have been quenched with poison. Their cultivation is not high, the highest is only in the middle stage of the Qi Attraction Realm, and the lowest is only in the early stage of the Qi Channeling Realm, just a group of rabble, and it is okay to deal with ordinary people.

However, they dare to commit crimes in the city, and there must be a background behind them.

A few small shrimps are not dangerous, Ye Xinling plans to rush over directly.

As soon as she approached, two arrows flew at her from the trees. She dodged one and slashed one with her sword.

"Where is the friend, hiding behind is it impossible to see anyone?" Ye Xinling stood in the middle of the road, the tip of her sword pointed to the ground, she looked into the woods with a faint smile on her face, and those who were hiding in the trees felt that the gaze penetrated the trunk of the tree and fell straight on herself.

It's been discovered! These people thought they were hiding skillfully in the night, but they didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.

They knew that they had already been captured by Lei Ren's divine sense, and their every move was under Lei Ren's control.

Since it has been discovered, it is only hard to do it.

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and if I want to live from now on, I will leave it to buy road wealth." Talking about the vulgar dialogue, the bandits jumped out of the woods.

…………………………

There is something at home today, and I slept late in the past two days, and I can't hold it at this time.
