Outside the Yanmen Pass of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one stone path leading from Niujiao Village to Yanmen Pass, which is not too wide, only enough for two carriages to walk side by side. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info has a one-day journey from Niujiao Village to Yanmen Pass, and only when you enter Yanmen Pass can you really enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty. As an important town of the Tang Dynasty in the north, Yanmen Pass was the first line of defense against Turkic attacks.

Due to the existence of Niujiao Village, this path is not full of traffic, but you can occasionally see caravans or people galloping on horses.

After Lin Yi agreed to go on the road with Jia Xiong's caravan, Jia Xiong boldly re-chartered a carriage for Lin Yi to sit on. It has been half a day since I left Niujiao Village, and according to Jia Xiong's previous explanation, I must rush to Yanmen Pass to rest for a night before dark today, otherwise camping outside is a very dangerous behavior. This area is a very active area of Turkic cavalry, and no one can guarantee that a group of Turkic cavalry will not run out at the next moment. Due to the dense mountains and forests nearby, suitable for ambushes, the Turkic cavalry led by the strength of a third-rate martial artist is the most terrible nightmare of the merchants, although the army of the Tang Dynasty has come out more than once to encircle and suppress, but due to the complexity of the terrain and the cunning and treachery of the Turks, they have had little effect, and in the end it is not enough. So if there is a caravan encountered, if you are lucky occasionally, you only need to leave supplies behind, and you can still survive. If you are unlucky, it is normal to have both people and money empty.

If the larger trading house is fine, it will find the local dart bureau to seconded one or two third-rate dart masters to escort it, even if it encounters, at most it will lose some finances, at least it can save part of the property and the lives of everyone. Although the Turks are ruthless to outsiders, they still cherish their own people, especially the soldiers who come out to "hunt for food", which are all elites drawn from the army. If they can't be defeated, the Turks will choose to give up very wisely, and if they are equivalent, only part of the property of the caravan will appear, because the Turks have figured out the weakness of the Tang merchants who are afraid of death after many "hunting". The strength is quite not guaranteed to be immortal, so almost all caravans will choose to compromise and leave some of their belongings. If the caravan is not strong or there is no warrior escort at all, then... I can only resign myself to fate and pray that I will not encounter the Turks.

Jia Xiong's caravan was already considered a large one. Although the risks of traveling to and from Niujiao Village are relatively large, the benefits are also huge. The game of Niujiao Mountain is a hot commodity in Chang'an. The villagers of Niujiao Village brought back the prey they had hunted in the mountains and dried it at home. Every once in a while, a merchant will come to the door to buy. Merchants who come and go here, as long as they can make a successful round trip, are enough for half a year's expenses of some small caravans. There are also some rare medicinal materials abundant in Niujiao Mountain, which are deeply loved by folk medical halls. Some of the medicinal herbs abundant in Niujiao Village have a miraculous effect on headaches and fevers. Therefore, even if the Datang businessmen know the risks, they can't resist the temptation.

When the day was on the third pole, a neighing sound of horses woke up Lin Yi, who was sleeping soundly in the carriage. In a trance, Lin Yi could feel that the carriage had stopped. After shaking his head, which had just woken up and was still a little drowsy, and driving away some sleepiness, Lin Yi reached out and pulled the curtain, "Why did you stop?" ”

Seeing that Lin Yi had already gotten out of the carriage, Jia Gui trotted over with a smile on his face, "It's okay, it's noon." Stop here for a break and have lunch on the way. Hit the road again at noon! "Oh, then I won't eat it, it's too much to eat in the morning, and I haven't digested it yet." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he was about to return to the carriage to continue sleeping, but he saw Jia Xiong coming towards him, followed by Jia Xiong's daughter Jia Wenwen.

Jia Xiong came to Lin Yi's side, stretched out his hand and handed the water bag in his hand to Lin Yi, "Thank you!" Lin Yi didn't postpone it, he reached out and poured it into his mouth, "Wow, cool!" Touching the clear water leaking from the corner of his mouth, "Brother Jia, is this something on your mind?" Jia Xiong pulled a reluctant smile on his face, "My brother also knows that this generation of Turkic cavalry is rampant, and in front of it is the Falling Moon Canyon. "Following Jia Xiong's gaze, with Lin Yi's eyesight, he can already see the two towering peaks in front of him." This canyon is the only way from Niujiao Village to Yanmen Pass, and it takes about 1 mile to pass through the canyon, and it is the place where the chance of being ambushed by Turkic cavalry is the highest. Eight out of ten caravans were attacked! If you walk through this canyon and are safe, then you can basically guarantee safety. ”

Lin Yi picked up the water bag and drank again, "Are the Turkic cavalry strong?" I've heard Brother Jia mention it a few times, and the strength of our caravan is actually not weak, there are only two third-rate martial artists, five non-mainstream martial artists, and the other dozen or so don't look like ordinary people. But it seems that Brother Jia is still very afraid of meeting them! This time Jia Xiong didn't speak, but Jia Wenwen next to him answered, "If it was the current scale of the caravan in previous years, the Turks would not dare to take the lead at all, after all, they only sent a third-rate martial artist to lead the team over to 'hunt for food' every time." But since the beginning of this year, there have been rumors that they seem to have increased their staff, and the number is still uncertain. But I don't think any caravans would want to meet them. Jia Xiong touched Jia Wenwen's head on the side, "I shouldn't have taken you out with a soft heart this time." Saying that, Jia Xiong looked at Lin Yi and said sincerely: "Brother, brother, I have a reluctant request, I don't know." Lin Yi heard this, "Brother, you will see what you say, what are we reluctant to do." If there's anything I can do to help, just say, I'll do it! Seeing that Lin Yi was so open-minded and clear, Jia Xiong was not hypocritical, "Actually, the first time I saw you, brother, I already saw that you are not an ordinary person. After a while, the old brother will let Wenwen ride in the same carriage with you. If, if something happens, I hope my brother will take care of it, my brother is grateful here! Lin Yi hurriedly helped Jia Xiong up, "Brother, you will see what you say, your business is my business." Then let Miss ride in the same car with me, if she loses a hair, brother, you ask me. ”

Hearing that the two of them were arranging the aftermath, Jia Wenwen on the side stopped doing it, "Hey, Daddy, don't let you say that, we will definitely be fine!" Jia Xiong looked at the girl in front of him dotingly, and chuckled, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if." Seeing that there was still some time before noon, Jia Xiong couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and still asked Lin Yi; I don't know if my brother is going to Chang'an, but is there anything important? Lin Yi thought about it, there was nothing to do with it, so he said frankly, "I don't know what will happen next." Before leaving the mountain, the master only asked me to go to Chang'an to find a person named Wang Yueshan, and the rest, the master didn't say, and ...... "Wang Yueshan?!" Before Lin Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Xiong on the side, Lin Yi looked at Jia Xiong suspiciously, "Could it be that Brother Jia knows this person?" When Jia Xiong heard this, he sighed with emotion, "It's not just acquaintance!" As far as I know, there are many people with the surname Wang in Chang'an City. But the one called Wang Yueshan is only my best friend, Wang Yueshan, a four-rank military general and Xuanwei general! Speaking of this, Jia Xiong couldn't help but be amazed, "I can't imagine that you and I still have this relationship!" What is the relationship between the elder brother and this Wang Yueshan? Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, I don't know anything either!" Jia Xiong didn't ask, if he wanted to know, when he got through the current hurdle, he would naturally know when he returned to Chang'an. Thinking of this, I don't know why, the ghost envoy added a sentence, "Speaking of which, Wang Yueshan's youngest daughter is still friends with my family Wenwen." In other words, that little girl looks like the first beauty in Chang'an, and she has not been married yet, you won't have any marriage contract with her, right? Hahahaha~" After Jia Xiong finished speaking, he was amused by his whimsical thoughts.

Jia Wenwen on the side heard it and looked at it, although she had changed into a long shirt. Lin Yi, who was quite handsome, and the head that had grown a little broken hair but was almost bald, "Cut, Daddy, you've heard too much about books, is this possible?" My Sister Yaoyao is not worthy of anyone, hum~" After speaking, she seemed to be talking about herself, and raised her little head proudly. "Hehe, I don't know if it's beautiful or not, as long as you eat it" Lin Yi didn't think about it so much, Lin Yi's biggest dream at this time is probably to enjoy this great river and mountain, the world of flowers, and the most important thing is to eat all the food in the world! When Jia Xiong and Jia Wenwen were not paying attention, Lin Yi glanced at a meaningful glance in an inconspicuous corner of the dense forest.

Just when Jia Xiong and the others were resting, nearly a hundred people had gathered on a cliff in the Moon Chasing Canyon in the distance. Looking at the outfits of these people, it is obvious that they are Turkic soldiers who everyone can fear. The first one is one-eyed, holding a pair of maces that are obviously no less than 100 catties in both hands, with a hideous face and fierce eyes. If there are people in the rivers and lakes here, they will definitely be able to recognize the person in front of them, this is the famous third-rate martial artist of the Turks, known as the one-eyed madman, and the murderous Altai. And on the right hand side of the one-eyed, there is a man dressed in a Song robe, holding a folding fan and looking like a handsome man, even if he doesn't speak, the surroundings are quiet like a house, and the corners of his mouth are smiling, this person's prestige in the Turks is not under the one-eyed madman Altai, this person is called a smiling man at any time, even when he sleeps and kills, so he is called a smiling man, Tuli Maxi, a third-rate martial artist. Don't look at this person, he is dressed as a Song person, and he often smiles and gives people a good impression, so ignore him. And the price of ignoring him is often accompanied by death! The two of them stood left and right, even if they didn't speak, they gave people a kind of pressure that was difficult to hold on, and a kind of suffocating depression made the nearly 100 people below not even dare to come out. "Report, General!" Suddenly, a hurried voice broke the almost suffocating atmosphere, and a soldier in leather armor and vines ran out of the dense forest.

Altai's deep and powerful voice sounded at the moment when the soldier appeared, "Say! ”

"Report to the general, there is a Tang caravan a mile away that is resting there, two of them are escorted by third-rate martial artists, five are not in the ranks, and the rest are not counted in the combat power. It is expected to leave at about a quarter of noon and arrive at the ambush site in ten minutes! ”

"Hehe, I've waited so long, and it's finally time for the fat sheep to enter the net! There are two third-rate martial artists, it seems that this time it is a big fat sheep! At this time, the smiling boy was still smiling, but under this smile he did not hide a touch of gloom, "Brothers, General Durr said that this year's grassland has suddenly snowed heavily, and many of our tribes are starving. In order for us to have a stable winter, we must 'borrow' some food from Datang to survive the winter, hehe" After speaking, he pointed to the nearly 100 people at the head of the head, "There will be a war, there are two third-rate martial artists who I and Altai dragged each other, and the rest ......" Speaking of this, after a pause, Tuli Maxi looked around, still smiling, but said without emotion: "Don't leave a living mouth!" "Yes! Jawly Khan wins! ”

Seeing that everyone entered the ambush position, Altai suddenly said: "A quick battle will be solved in a while." The recent troop movement at Yanmen Pass in the Tang Dynasty is a bit abnormal, and I am afraid that there will be an accident. Tuli Masi was not a brainless person, and he understood which was more important, and nodded, "I see." It is said that General Durr seems to be planning to carry out a sneak attack on Datang in the spring of next year, plundering several important towns in the border passes. Thinking of those Tang beauties and a large number of food treasures, it is really exciting! ”

Altai snorted, "It's expected to kill all those Tang talents!" Now hurry up and finish this caravan, and immediately return to the grassland to resume your life. After waiting for almost two days to come to such a caravan, I don't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment! ”

"Alright, let's get started!"

While the Turkic soldiers were in ambush, the caravan had just rested and set off. helped Jia Wenwen into Lin Yi's carriage, "Brother Yi, the little girl will please you!" Lin Yi smiled heartily, "Don't worry, it's okay, smile more." Don't be sad! Perhaps infected by Lin Yi's optimism, Jia Xiong also smiled rarely, "Yes, I am worried about the sky, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided." As he spoke, he walked to his carriage and said to Jia Gui: "Let's go!" ”

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

I've never killed anyone yet. The monk said that I should not kill innocents indiscriminately, but it does not include you aliens. As the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. I hope you can resist jumping out, or ...... "Hey, fool, what do you want?" ”

"Eh, ah, haha~ What, I'm thinking about it for a while, when I get to Yanmen Pass, I want to eat a few roast chickens!"

"Cut, are you reincarnated by the starving ghost? Seeing that you are all eating, sooner or later I will eat you to death, hum! ”
