Chapter Forty-Nine: Another Caravan

He took out another map and a simple compass, re-oriented, and the three of them set out on their journey again.

It's just that after this delay, the three of them didn't walk for long, and the sky gradually darkened, seeing that the sun was about to go down, Yuan Heng had to find an open place near the river nearby, planning to rest for the night and set off early tomorrow morning.

In fact, the reason why Yuan Heng plans to rest for a night before setting off is mainly because the weather in Yuncheng's generation is really a bit capricious, and the demon wind that suddenly blew in the afternoon is very likely to make a comeback after blowing a circle, so for the sake of safety, it is safer to rest here for one night, and it is safer to set off again during the day tomorrow.

Due to the perennial wind and loose soil, the sand content of the rivers around Yuncheng is relatively large, and it looks not very clear, and it cannot be drunk directly.

Looking at this turbid river, Yuan Heng couldn't help but be a little worried, although there were still some spare water sources on their carriage, but there was not much left, originally planned to be able to rush to the next station tomorrow morning to replenish some, but because of this sudden storm, it was delayed for half a day plus a night, if this will run out of water, then if they can't get to Gucheng tomorrow, wouldn't the three of them have no water storage to drink.

Just as Yuan Heng was worried about drinking water, there was a surge of human voices, and the sound of rolling cars and horses came, and it sounded like it should be not far away.

Hearing this voice, Yuan Heng was shocked and thought it was over!

How could I forget such an important thing, I was rushing to work overtime to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But due to various reasons along the way, a lot of time was delayed, and the caravan that fell behind them at this time had already caught up with their progress at this time, and there was only a large wide and flat space near the river, and the caravan had so many people who needed to be stationed at night, and they had no other choice but this place.

Yang Liang obviously also heard the voice of the caravan, and sighed secretly in his heart, this is bad, he just made a splash in front of those people in the caravan two nights ago, plus Yuan Heng took Chen Lu to inquire about Lu Zhicheng's news from the side before him, the people in the caravan will definitely leave a deep impression on several of them, this narrow road encounter, it will definitely take a lot of words to explain, if once he says something wrong, in case it arouses their suspicion, the other party is overwhelmed, if there is really any conflict, It is inevitable that your side will suffer.

But there was no way to be in a hurry, listening to the footsteps of the caravan getting closer and closer, Yang Liang immediately made a decision, ran to the carriage to find a piece of clothing, asked Yuan Heng to remove the disguise on his face, and restored him to the appearance of more than twenty years old, and told him how to deal with the group of people in the caravan later, and he ran to the carriage with Chen Lu and closed the carriage door tightly.

Looking at Yang Liang's operation just now, Chen Lu's jaw was about to be shocked, he always knew that Yuan Heng and Yang Liang were hiding their identities, but what he didn't expect was that Yuan Heng was still disguised, and he was so well disguised, and he didn't see it at all after getting along for so many days.

He wanted to ask Yang Liang what was going on, but thinking of his nervous appearance just now, he took back what he was about to say, thinking that he would ask what was going on when he had the opportunity later, and the current problem was how to fool the caravan.

Yuan Heng's disguise technique is mainly to smear the juice of a certain plant on the face, when it dries, it will make the skin on the face dark, and it is not easy to rub off when exposed to water, it is necessary to use a special potion to wipe it clean, in addition to the change of skin color, Yuan Heng also made some changes at the chin and corners of the eyes, so that the cold temperament on the face becomes a little honest and honest, plus the sparse mustache, it does look like a soldier who is exposed to the wind and sun on the battlefield.

And Yuan Heng's own complexion is very white, his facial features are more aggressive, and he has a murderous aura, so he looks like a chivalrous man who is not easy to mess with.

wiped his face with a potion, and changed his clothes, Yuan Heng's whole temperament has changed, if it weren't for the people who have known him for many years and know his specific appearance, the people who only have one side of the relationship can't see that this chivalrous man with a fierce face is the same person as the middle-aged man who looked honest and ordinary before, and he will only feel that the two have nothing to do with each other, and where will the two be associated together.

As soon as the preparations were made, the caravan's attendants in charge of pathfinding had already found a wide, smooth clearing by the river, just right for the caravan to camp here for the night.

A few people walked around here again, and after checking the existence of some dangerous animals, they found that a carriage had been parked on the side, and in front of the carriage stood a tall and very young knight.

Although there is no distinction between you and me in the wild area, everyone generally follows the first-come, first-served rule, if the other party arrives in this area first, and is unwilling to share it with others, then the latter generally has no reason to fight and argue, and can obediently find another place.

The person in charge of pathfinding was obviously well versed in this kind of rule, and several people looked at each other, and then walked in front of Yuan Heng, greeted him friendly, and said: "This chivalrous man, take the liberty to disturb, we are a caravan from Zhao State, the team is relatively large, so there are more people, look around here, only this area is the most suitable, so ......"

Yuan Heng, who had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, naturally understood the meaning of his words, so he waved his hand and said that it didn't matter.

The reason why he didn't refuse directly here, Yuan Heng naturally had his own considerations, first, he had already surveyed around here just now, and then there was a large open space in this place, and the rest was mostly shaded by trees, and there was no place to put his feet, let alone stay overnight.

So even if he refuses now, they can't find a suitable position, and it is estimated that they will still come to grab the territory at that time, so it is better to make a generous gesture at the beginning, so as to save more conflicts later.

Seeing that Yuan Heng generously agreed, those people naturally thanked them, and then left the two of them to guard here, while the rest of them turned around and went back to inform the large army to come over.

Seeing that the current problem was solved, Yuan Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he took advantage of the fact that the two people left behind were not paying attention, and also opened the door of the carriage and sat in.
