Chapter 278: Blatant

Not only that, but the immortal masters, who were not usually seen very often, have also increased recently, if you have to describe it, in the past, when these mountain people appeared in front of the eyes of ordinary people, it probably made people have an urge to bow their heads, but it seems that in just a few months, ordinary people have become accustomed to the cultivators who often appear on the streets, in the sky, and in restaurants, and it is extremely difficult to mention the respect and curiosity that comes from the heart.

These cultivators, except that they are dressed and the magic weapons are different from ordinary people, there seems to be nothing mysterious, are they not two eyes and one mouth?

When a group of people loses their sense of mystery in the hearts of ordinary people, those original conjectures and hidden loftiness in the hearts will no longer exist.

It's just that in the past hundreds or even thousands of years, cultivators have rarely appeared among the ordinary people, since they are cultivators outside the world, when they cut off all causes and effects from the earthly world, they are not disturbed by external objects, and when immortal cultivators have to appear in front of the people, they are often the time to kill demons, or save the people from fire and water, so in the impression of ordinary people, immortal cultivators are often equated with immortals.

Immortal cultivators are appearing more and more frequently in the eyes of ordinary people, which naturally makes sense, but people like Hu Jinqiu may not have the opportunity to hear this kind of news.

If Qi Zhen is here, comparing Hu Jinqiu's news with what he has seen on Kunlun Mountain, he may be able to make the team speculate more conclusions.

The Western Regions are preparing to clear the realm, taking multiple measures at the same time, deliberately disturbing the peace of the Central Plains cultivation world, the emperor is preparing to fight, I don't know who the object is, but now it is quite a bit of a strong wall and clear wilderness, the cultivator went down the mountain and began to walk around in the world, what is the purpose, who is instructed, I don't know.

I don't know if it's the things on the mountain that affect the things under the mountain, or the things under the mountain that affect the things on the mountain, in short, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and a crisis that even ordinary people can feel is quietly spreading on the land of China.

Meng Ran kept these news in his heart, and was ready to repeat it to him after meeting Qi Zhen.

Hu Jinqiu looked at the sky that was already getting dark, and knew that even if he accelerated today, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get to the next post station before it was completely dark, and it seemed that he had to sleep in the wilderness today.

It's not that he is inexperienced in sleeping in the wilderness, it's just that the merchant is a merchant, and he still has to try to avoid this kind of thing.

In this era, there are no lights, and even if the route is familiar enough, walking at night is much more time-consuming and laborious than during the day, and it is not worth it.

Hu Jinqiu began to send a message to the entire caravan, asking everyone to prepare to set up camp.

At this moment, at the rear of the caravan, a commotion suddenly began to occur, and the neighing of horses sounded, which shocked everyone in the caravan who was chatting.

Immediately afterwards came the angry shouts of the caravan guards: "The Annexes are here!" ”

A caravan, the one who opens the road in the front, the one who breaks the back, and the one who commands and dispatches in the center must be the most experienced person in the caravan, so if you can judge and warn in this way, you must have a very sufficient certainty.

Attached.

Hearing this name, Hu Jinqiu was slightly relieved in his heart, and then there was irrepressible anger.

Those four people had collected so much money from the caravan, how could the Kunlun faction still allow this kind of thing to happen?

He thought about it in his head, but his heart was not in the slightest.

As a mature merchant leader, he has still seen many of the world, and in front of a caravan of his size, he is not afraid of breaking his own teeth?

He immediately assembled the horses of the caravan and formed a circle around them with the goods on their backs, and both the horse guards and the merchants were wrapped into the improvised fortification with great speed.

Meng Ran nodded slightly when he saw this, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and he was quite disciplined against the enemy, it seemed that it was not the first time that Hu Jinqiu had encountered this kind of thing, and he could make the caravan order ban to complete such a large-scale formation adjustment in such a short period of time, this person is not simple.

These bandits in the Western Regions, whether they are Lingkou or Annexed Kou, are actually completely different from the Central Plains.

There are many mountain bandits and water bandits in the Central Plains, and the bandits often hide in the mountains, attacking passers-by by surprise, and hitting the other party by surprise; The bandits take advantage of the escape of the robbed side, and the place where they can act is the place where the fart on the boat is bigger, as long as your boat is not as fast as mine, then you can only sit in the water and wait to die, and the water bandits can directly pile up each other by virtue of the number of people.

The bandits in the Western Regions can be described in more accurate words, it is better to say that they are horse thieves, there is no cover on the vast Gobi Desert, what is particular is a ruthless and roaring wind, holding a saber in his hand, a charge will take away a few lives, and it will be too late to talk about things when the other party is afraid.

A simple horse-repelling stake like Hu Jinqiu's would play a very important role at this time, as long as they could not rush up and fell into a fierce battle with the caravan guards, it was not yet known who would kill the deer.

As soon as the caravan was set up to resist the enemy, a violent sound of horses' hooves reached everyone's ears.

A few of the merchants had a slightly panicked look on their faces, but they were obviously trying their best to hide it, not wanting people to see their lack of experience.

The guards in those caravans were quite eager, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, they had not encountered bandits for several years, and their weapons could finally be stained with blood today.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, but Hu Jinqiu's face suddenly became more and more ugly.

Everyone looked into the distance, and finally saw the incomparably huge piece of smoke and dust.

How many subordinates does it have to be to form such a momentum?

This is the most important reason why Hu Jinqiu's face is so sunk.

Originally, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, Hu Jinqiu guessed that the number of people on the other side should not be too much, but there was no trace of the other party in his sight, and Hu Jinqiu was a little heavy at the moment.

As the sound of horses' hooves became more and more deafening, when the figures of these horse thieves finally appeared in his sight, Hu Jinqiu finally [Begonia Bookstore] did not control his emotions and cursed in a low voice.

He really didn't understand why there was such a large scale of attachments within the scope of Kunlun Mountain, didn't the Kunlun faction care?

Those guards who were originally eager to try, seeing the other party's momentum, their faces had already changed color, where was the look of excitement just now?

And this group of vachants is obviously different from Hu Jinqiu's impression, usually if you encounter these people, you will generally rush towards the target in an instant, in order to make the target feel his ruthlessness and invincibility at the first time, and obediently offer his property in exchange for personal safety.

But these vassals seemed to be showing the caravan that they were outnumbered, and they kept running at a fixed pace, not in a hurry to plunder, but they didn't know why.

Kunlun Mountain is the world of cultivators, so there can be no horse thieves in the conventional sense, and horse thieves in the conventional sense do not rely on the powerful spirit robes, and there is no way to survive here, so there is a saying that they are attached.

And whether it is a spirit or a vaganza, they have to rely on the Kunlun faction to snort, never dare to make things too big, let alone form a team of such a scale to swagger and loot and kill, otherwise they will die a miserable death.

This is the valuable experience summed up by countless caravans coming and going here, and it is also the most important reason why these caravans are willing to hand over a real protection fee to the Kunlun faction.

So whether it's the size of the other party or the posture they are showing now, it will make people feel that these people don't look like they're here to rob.

But the other side of the contradiction is that almost all of the people in Kunlun Mountain are cultivators, and those who can have the will and need to raise horses are the only ones who are attached to them.

Experienced guards or merchants, as long as they hear the sound of horses' hooves within the range of Kunlun Mountain, they will basically not make a mistake in judgment.

So when the other party slowly stopped a hundred paces away in front of the caravan, and the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing the horse team of nearly fifty people, Hu Jinqiu's face gradually turned from ugly to confused.

The leader rode forward and came to the front, looking like a middle-aged man from the Western Regions, anyway, in Meng Ran's opinion, these people all looked similar, and it was difficult for her to tell who was who.

The other party first chattered on the phone, and after hearing this, Hu Jinqiu's breathing became heavy, as if he was very angry.

There are people who know the Western Regions dialect and translate what the other party said to Meng Ran.

"You are lucky enough to have met us, please leave your goods and money behind, and then ask where you came from and where you go back."

The other party is actually quite polite when he speaks, but what he says is not so polite.

All stayed? Where did you come from, where did you go back?

Meng Ran could understand what kind of danger these merchants were going to take when they ran away from the goods.

Isn't this a blatant robbery?

In her previous life, as a criminal policeman, she had the hardest time to bear this kind of lawlessness happening right under her nose, but she forgot that this place itself was a lawless place.

So Meng Ran was very angry, and at the same time, he felt great anger at the Kunlun Sect's immortal cultivators' untrustworthiness.

These ordinary people obviously believe in you so much, and you can't even fulfill this promise, which is even worse than that of a robber.

From this point of view, Meng Ran's hatred for fraudsters is much higher than that of robbers, robbers may be just pure evil, but fraudsters are the most difficult to accept emotionally difficult to accept.

But Meng Ran is a little better, not as impulsive as Lin Xiao and Yu Liang, in this regard, she is even much stronger than Jiang Yan.

So she silently hid in the caravan, quietly observing the other party's every move, and did not let go of all the details of the other party's horse team.
