Du Rui was also looking at the sun.

The snowy Taihang Mountain road is difficult to walk, after all, the Taihang Mountain of this world is a little higher than the original world, a few times wider, and the eight paths of Taihang are also a little more dangerous, there are many monsters and beasts in the mountains, and there are also evil and weird, although the post road can accommodate carriage traffic, but it will also break suddenly due to many factors, and it will take a long time for a large group of warriors to come out of the mountain post station, and use the power of warriors and mages to repair the post road.

If there are no transcendents in this world, even if there is the scientific and technological power of the Earth Age, it is impossible for human beings to become the world hegemon.

After all, the use of scientific and technological power to use tools is just fake external objects, human beings themselves are still weak, Du Rui's era, although the power of science and technology is changing with each passing day, the use of those large machinery is still more troublesome after all, the procedure is cumbersome, the requirements for infrastructure are too high, it is not as convenient as this world, if people cultivate to a certain level, they have the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea.

Du Rui and his entourage passed through Hanoi County and walked out of Taihang Mountain, which took half a month.

Along the way, the wind and snow are non-stop, with the blessing of the talisman array, you can travel thousands of miles a day outside the mountains, and you will rarely encounter trouble on the road.

In this world, people are basically traveling in groups, hundreds of carts, caravans of thousands of members abound, the scale is a little smaller, there are hundreds of people and dozens of carts, such as Du Rui's small convoy, or there are very few people who travel alone, but anyone who dares to travel so lightly is all hard stubble, and most of the green forest characters along the way dare not provoke.

At that time, the green forest villages were famous, and the caravans passed through this place, and they would pay some money to buy the road, even if it was a caravan with a super gate valve, they would give the cottage a road purchase money in accordance with the rules, of course, compared to those caravans that were not famous, the money paid to buy the road was very little, and many times it was only symbolic.

After all, the caravans of the family gate valve are all over the world, coming and going endlessly, if each caravan has to send one or two innate masters to escort it, even if it is a master of the family gate valve, it is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, laying a good joint along the way not only requires the name of the family gate valve, but also needs some practical benefits.

The local green forest scoop set up a cottage and collected tolls, which is actually a business, just like the tax customs post of the government, and they are more trustworthy than the government, they have to do things after collecting money, and the caravan will never have an accident in their territory, if there is any small trouble, they will also send someone to solve it, and the plan will not ruin their reputation.

It's just business!

Nor would the businessman dare to act recklessly, of course, if he faced a strong temptation, whether he was a businessman or a robber at that time, it was unknown!

Of course, these local snakes are also afraid of strong dragons, if they really provoke those super gate valves and send a strong team to attack, then there is only one way to die, and it will inevitably end up in the situation of destruction and death.

Du Rui and his entourage were lightly armed, whether it was a vehicle or a dragon horse carrying a knight, all of them were engraved with talismans, walking like the wind.

In the face of this group of people, the cottage green forests along the way all seemed to be blind, turning a blind eye, and no one came forward to intercept them on the official road.

These guys are all well-informed, and there is also a connection between the cottage and the cottage, and each region has a scoop to dominate these green forest villages, just like the Xu family near Fenglindu.

After entering the Taihang Mountain, there are also green forest villages, after all, the mountains are high and dense forests are just hidden, these villages are different from the green forests outside the mountains, those are sitting tigers, they are hidden wolves.

Protection fees are also collected, and goods are also grabbed.

If the strength of the caravan is huge, then collect a protection fee, if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, or if the value of the goods is huge, then it is not impossible to be a bandit temporarily, after all, these people who drill the ravine are some outlaws, either they are wanted criminals by the court without background, or they are warriors who have offended the big lords of the high gate, and there are also wicked people who cultivate evil minds, and even traitors with big sects......

For these people, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu dares to kick it, after all, they don't expect tomorrow.

After entering the mountain, Du Rui and his party finally encountered a robbery.

This is actually not a trouble, even if there are some powerful martial artists in this mountain, however, the strongest ones stop at the innate, even if they are powerful martial artists at the level of grandmasters, it is impossible to do the small trick of blocking the road and cutting the path.

Along the way, I only encountered two robberies before entering the mountain.

The first time, Yue Chong didn't keep his hand, he was full of innate sword energy, and killed all the dozens of little thieves, and he didn't leave a living mouth, so they encountered a second robbery after walking for a while.

This time, Du Rui let Yue Chong keep his hand, and after killing most of the thieves, he left one or two broken hands and feet.

After that, there were no more bandits blocking the road.

The news has already spread, and I know that there are innate swordsmen in this line, and they are disciples of Huashan Sword Sect.

Since, I don't know if there are any geniuses in this industry, and when the temptation is not enough, no one wants to fight to the death with the disciples of Huashan Sword Sect, not to mention, he is still an innate swordsman.

Compared to the bandits in the mountains, the monsters in the mountains and the weather cause more difficulties.

There are many monsters in Taihang Mountain, the deeper you go, the more you are, and there are fewer on both sides of the post road, this is because the warriors of the post station often go out to patrol and clear it, but it is still unavoidable, and it can't be done without demon beast attacks.

After all, the demon beasts in the mountains are very strong, and sometimes, they even organize themselves in groups to attack the post station with the rune array running.

This kind of attack sometimes comes back with a feather, eight or nine times out of ten, and the losses are heavy and the post station is not captured, but there are occasional successes, once the post station is not breached, the warriors stationed there will basically be completely damaged.

There are post stations along the main roads in the mountains, and there are garrisons of the imperial court and recruited folk warriors in the post stations.

The reason why even if it is dangerous and the living environment is boring, there are still a large number of warriors who would rather accept the recruitment of the imperial court to come to the post station to garrison, the reason is very simple, wealth and danger are sought.

There are a lot of cultivation resources in the mountains, and for cultivators, demon beasts are treasures, and in addition, because the mountains have not been developed, there are many minerals and medicines, all of which are helpful for cultivation.

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can sell it for a big price when you take it out of the mountain, in exchange for the cultivation resources you need.

After Du Rui and his entourage entered the mountain, they encountered several demon beast attacks, these demon beasts did not have sanity, but only attacked humans out of instinct, except for a very small number of demon beasts with spiritual sense, they could not distinguish the strength and weakness of human beings, as long as they smelled the breath, they would be manic, and then attacked, if it is a race, there are companions who die at the hands of humans, they are even more immortal, entangled.

Although these demon beasts are nothing, however, the powerful among them can also single-handedly take on guards like Hua Chong.

In this way, there are some troubles and some trips delayed.

Of course, the bigger trouble is the weather and geography, from time to time, the post road will be cut off halfway, I don't know what the reason is, at this time, you have to light the fireworks of the alarm, waiting for the warrior of the post station to dispatch, under normal circumstances, a post station can not be matched with a mage, but there is also a mage apprentice, although the warrior can also manipulate the rune array, but not as natural as the mage apprentice.

The mage apprentice will rush here under the protection of the warrior, use the talisman, or use the earth magic power or invite the wrestler to repair the severed post road, which is the most basic operation, of course, it will inevitably delay time.

In this way, Du Rui and his entourage passed through the mountains and entered the hilly area.

After that, we passed through the plain area and came to the boundary of Handan, where we rested in the locust tree before the sun went down.

It stands to reason that there is still a journey of less than 100 miles, and if the warrior uses light skills to hurry, or drives the dragon horse to gallop, he will be able to reach Handan City in less than an hour or two, and he can enter the city before the city gate is closed.

Du Rui ordered to rest in the locust tree and settled in the Yunlai Inn.

If His Royal Highness wants to do this, his subordinates only need to follow the order, and no one will ask for reasons without knowing what to do, after all, Du Rui is not only their lord, but also noble, with noble blood, and his cultivation is also unfathomable, making people look up to the mountains.

The Yunlai Inn is located to the west of the Locust Tree Market, next to a small river that separates the inn and the market from the manor, and is connected to the market by a suspension bridge, which must be passed to enter the manor.

The estate is surrounded by water on three sides and a hillside on one side.

If you want to enter the manor, you either enter through the suspension bridge, or you have to detour hundreds of miles into the mountains to reach the mountain behind the manor, which is more troublesome.

In the Earth world, this is an easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack dock fort.

In this world, there are cultivators, and the terrain or anything doesn't matter!

The original residents of the locust tree market all live in the manor, although the market outside is prosperous, but it is not their home, once they encounter any danger, they will return to the manor through the suspension bridge, with the big locust tree, with the protection of the magic circle, it is safer.

Yunlai Inn is very large, covering an extremely wide area, equivalent to one-third of the market, soon after Du Rui and his party came here, there were people moving in one after another, all of them were small caravans, caravans that only sold goods in Handan.

Among these people, the most powerful one is just a man who has just opened up the Great Zhoutian.

They were also sitting in the lobby, occupying a few tables, and a group of people were talking and touting the man.

Du Rui frowned.

Yue Chong, who was sitting across from him, raised his head and glanced at Du Rui.

After a while, Nie Yuan, who was drinking the broth with his head down, also raised his head, with doubts in his eyes.

Xiao Shami folded his hands, sat beside Du Rui, silently reciting the Buddha's name, he lowered his head, his eyes were calm like waves, all the red dust was illusory, there was no magic weapon like the Ten Thousand Astrolabe, Du Rui could not contain him, only let him follow him.

After a while, a voice rang out.

The dishes on everyone's table shook slightly, and at the same time, the ground also shook, trembling slightly, undulating......

Inside, there was silence.

Those guys looked at each other with nervous expressions!

"Horse team!"

Someone couldn't control it and made a sound, which was a little distorted because of the nervousness.
