Chapter Forty-Nine: Conquering the Caravan
"Yes, if you can redeem my goods for me, I will promise to take you out of town. After a few thoughts, the man spoke.
"Then wait for me here, and I'll come as soon as I go. Song Tianlong smiled and lined up the crowd and walked back in the direction of the barracks.
"Boss, are we really going to take that guy out of the city?" Seeing Song Tianlong walking away, some of the businessmen couldn't help but ask the person who was talking.
The man who was called the boss snorted coldly and said, "Bring it, why don't you bring it?" We are the most honest businessmen, and if we promise that guy to take him out of the city, we will take him out of the city. ”
"It's just, out of the city, let's find another opportunity to kill him. After the boss finished speaking, he felt that he was too smart, and couldn't help laughing loudly, "Hahaha......!"
The businessmen who followed saw that their boss was laughing so happily, and they also laughed together: "Hahaha......!" It seems that Song Tianlong's life has long been in their hands.
Here, before Song Tianlong came to the barracks, a soldier stopped Song Tianlong: "Military land, idlers detour!"
"My lord!" Song Tianlong saluted the soldiers guarding the gate and said respectfully: "The villain just went out not long ago, I wonder if the adult still remembers the little one?"
The soldier took a closer look, and sure enough, he recognized Song Tianlong, and knew that Song Tianlong was a good citizen who had been rewarded by the leader, so he was no longer serious, and just asked, "Do you have anything else?"
Song Tianlong saluted again and said: "My lord, on the way back just now, I found some suspicious places, and I want to report to the general, and ask the adults to make it convenient and take me in." ”
When the soldier heard Song Tianlong say that he found something suspicious again, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he quickly led Song Tianlong to the original barracks tent.
In the barracks, the package that Song Tianlong snatched, the head hidden in it had long since disappeared, and instead, as the merchants said, it was just some ordinary clothes and household belongings. The officers and soldiers who looked like the leader of the army were feeling strange, and they saw Song Tianlong, who had left, turn back.
Song Tianlong didn't say much, so he opened his mouth and said straightly: "Adult, the little one is here for this matter. ”
"Oh?" the leader looked at Song Tianlong in slight surprise, waiting for him to continue.
Song Tianlong continued: "Forgive Xiao's recklessness, causing trouble to adults, adults, we may have caught the wrong person......
"What do you say?" Hearing Song Tianlong say that he had caught the wrong person, the leader's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes when he looked at Song Tianlong became fierce.
Song Tianlong pretended to be very nervous, bowed his head and said in fear: "My lord, the little one was only discovered on the way back, but it was the small one who was reckless and harmed others." ”
"On the way back, there were a few people who claimed to be those fellow villagers who surrounded me, and kept telling the little ones that they were wronged, and the little ones felt strange, so they and those people went back to the place where the package was abnormal, and then they found ......"
"What did you find? Say it quickly!" Seeing Song Tianlong say that he stopped at the key point, the leader also urged.
Song Tianlong raised his head, his eyes were full of panic, which made the leader even more convinced that Song Tianlong was not lying, and then Song Tianlong slowly spoke: "Little discovery, as long as it is a person who passes by that place, the package on his body will become like a bloody human head!"
The leader obviously believed Song Tianlong's words, and immediately said: "You take me over, I want to check it out for myself!" After walking a few steps, he turned his head to look at Song Tianlong, and said with a dejected face: "You, you, I appreciate your warm-heartedness, but now that you say that I arrested the wrong person, those people have been beaten by us and are not human, just let them out, where is the prestige of your army?"
Song Tianlong smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "My lord, in fact, this is not difficult, you just tell a few of them, their identities are suspicious, although they are investigated clearly, but it has cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and if you don't detain their luggage, you will be kind to them." ”
In this way, they will only appreciate the magnanimity of the adults, but they will not think about the fact that the adults have caught the wrong person. ”
The leader also had a smile on his face, and pointed at Song Tianlong with his finger and said, "You kid doesn't look very old, but you have a lot of ghost ideas." ”
At this time, Song Tianlong took out the letter that Song Chaoyang wrote to himself from his arms, and whispered to the leader: "My lord, I can't hide it, the little one escaped from Lanzhou City, and before he came out, the letter that the city lord of Song Chaoyang handed over to the little one asked the little one to hand over to the young master of the city lord who was cultivating in the Tang Gate. ”
The leader had already thought of leaving Song Tianlong behind, but when he saw Song Tianlong take out the letter, he immediately said solemnly: "I have also heard about the Song City Lord, he is really a man who loves the country and protects the country, and he is a national hero of my Huaxia Dynasty! ”
"Do as you are told. Song Tianlong also bowed respectfully towards the leader.
The place that will make the package turn into a human head is naturally Song Tianlong's use of some relatively superficial methods recorded in "Introduction to the Art of Kanyu", plus the maze laid by the copper coin magic weapon.
Anyway, after a while, the effect of the formation will be lost, and the land will return to its former nature. But Song Tianlong naturally wouldn't say anything, and the problem was left to the leader to worry about.
As for Song Tianlong himself, after the merchants were released, he came to the place where the caravan gathered.
"Boy, you can, really those officers and soldiers really let people go like this, how did you do it?" The boss of the caravan couldn't imagine that Song Tianlong would really let the officers and soldiers release people so quickly, and he asked in surprise at the moment.
"It's not your business, is it?" Song Tianlong smiled, leaving everyone in the caravan with a mysterious face.
It is not easy for these merchants to cross the battlefield and walk, not only did they find all kinds of hidden paths, but they also accurately calculated the gap between the patrol and change of officers and soldiers.
Along the way, Song Tianlong and the others did not encounter any obstacles at all, and they arrived outside the city of Luoyan City.
"Boss, I always feel that this kid is mysterious, do we really want to do it?" When Song Tianlong walked away to relieve himself, someone in the caravan said to their boss, "Let's not think peace is precious, just forget it?"
The caravan boss snorted coldly and said, "That's it, don't you see that the third child and a few of them who were tortured by the officers and soldiers are not human, and you actually say that it's just that?!"
"But that guy, I always feel that it's not simple......" The man wanted to try to persuade him again, but the caravan boss raised his hand and directly interrupted his words and said: "That kid is just an ordinary person, can our brothers still be afraid that he will turn the sky upside down?"
What the caravan boss said was actually not unreasonable, during the war, all the people who had cultivated were arrested and served as soldiers, and the only people who could not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers on both sides of the war were ordinary people like Song Tianlong.
The caravan boss is not an uninformed person, it is precisely because of this that their caravan will take risks and eat in this kind of place of life and death, and it is precisely because of this that the caravan boss will make a wrong decision that will make him regret it for life, that is, to provoke Song Tianlong.
Song Tianlong, who had lost his cultivation, his body was still tempered by the qi of heaven and earth, and it was extremely strong, plus Song Tianlong had practiced the fist technique for nine years before stepping into the martial arts cultivation path. The people of those caravans were not enough for Song Tianlong to stretch his hands and feet.
Therefore, of course, under the leadership of the caravan boss, a group of merchants were beaten by Song Tianlong and became extremely honest, and Song Tianlong also learned from their mouths the entire situation of the current Changzhou Prefecture.
Today, the entire territory of Changzhou is in the hands of the South China Sea line, and because the South China Sea line was expelled from the Shenzhou continent by the Chinese Dynasty, the people on the mainland have a kind of hatred inherited from their ancestors, so after occupying Changzhou, the army of the South China Sea line burned and plundered the people of Changzhou in various ways, slaughtering like pigs and dogs, ruthless and cold-blooded!
To Song Tianlong's surprise, among the many cities within the boundaries of Changzhou, one of the cities has become a refugee shelter that cannot escape from the boundaries of Changzhou, and that city is the place where Song Tianlong was born and raised, Lanzhou City!
Under careful questioning, Song Tianlong learned that it turned out that the two princes of the South China Sea lineage, of course, are now called emperors of the Lantai clan, and now they have to be called the princes of the Great Zhou, one is called Taicheng, and the other is called Taihao, who had a three-year appointment with Song Tianlong, the young master of the Lanzhou City Lord's Mansion, when he was in Lanzhou City.
The prince of the Great Zhou said that he had promised in front of Song Tianlong that during the three years that Song Tianlong came to the appointment, Baolanzhou City would be safe and sound. Therefore, Lanzhou Castle has become the only city in the entire territory of Choshu that has been fenced but has not fallen.
Song Tianlong also smiled when he heard this, but he couldn't imagine that he had unintentionally saved the lives of the people of Lanzhou City.
It's just that the short three-year period is approaching, and Song Tianlong also looked gloomy, sighed, and said self-deprecatingly: "Okay, I can be regarded as living and dying with you, heh......"
The caravan people who were subdued by Song Tianlong didn't have to think about going to other places, anyway, the road was familiar, so they were pulled by Song Tianlong and the group to go in the direction of Lanzhou City.
But, should he really accept his fate like this? Along the way, Song Tianlong kept asking himself, if his cultivation is lost, if he goes back, he will be sent to death, and he really wants to be so anxious and generous?
Song Tianlong clenched his fists tightly, and shouted unwillingly to the sky: "Ah!!!!!hhhhhhh
The caravan that followed Song Tianlong was frightened by Song Tianlong's sudden long whistle, and thought that they had provoked the evil star in front of them somewhere.
"Your Excellency...... My lord?" Finally, the boss of the caravan cautiously opened his mouth and called a few times before Song Tianlong finally reacted.
I saw that Song Tianlong's eyes were full of bloodshots, and the corners of his eyes had already cracked, and a drop of blood or tears that I didn't know if it was blood or tears just fell down the cracked corner of Song Tianlong's eyes, which made people's hearts ache inexplicably!
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" the caravan boss asked weakly.
Song Tianlong stared coldly at the caravan boss, his eyes seemed to be breathtaking, making the leader suddenly feel like he was in an ice cave, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"I ......" Song Tianlong held back his emotions and gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay." ”
"Whew!" the caravan boss let out a long breath, his chest heaving, cold sweat already soaking his body.
But I heard Song Tianlong speak: "Change direction, let's not go to Lanzhou City." ”
"Huh?!" The caravan boss was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "My lord, at present, Lanzhou City is the only safe place left in the Changzhou territory, if we don't go to Lanzhou, where else can we go?"
The corners of Song Tianlong's mouth raised a sneer, but he didn't pay attention to the caravan boss's question, but said to himself: "I won't accept my fate, even if I can't beat it, I have to cause you some trouble." Lanzhou City is my hometown, and so is Changzhou, if there is an enemy to attack, although it is far away, it will be punished!"
"I've wronged you. Song Tianlong looked at the caravan and said secretly.
There is no way, Song Tianlong wants to make some trouble for the army of the South China Sea at the border of Changzhou, but he can't do without the guidance of the people around him who specialize in shuttling through the caravan to survive in the war.
Although what Song Tianlong was going to do next was very dangerous, Song Tianlong could only forcibly keep the caravan around him with a trace of guilt.
"Bring the map!" Song Tianlong said to the caravan boss. How could the caravan people, who had long been subdued by Song Tianlong, dare to say anything about Song Tianlong's order? Seeing that the caravan boss hurriedly took out the map they had drawn for walking from his bosom and handed it to Song Tianlong.
