After leaving the village, the caravan began to move faster, not as slowly and cautiously as before.

Maybe it's because they have returned to the realm of the Zhang family, and they are getting closer and closer to Tianshui City, so the people in the Zhang family's caravan seem to be relaxed and casual.

Even Qingyi can clearly feel the change in this atmosphere.

The mood can't help but start to become lighter and happy.

Of course, she was still diligent and diligent in her cultivation, and she did not relax at all.

The relationship between Xiao Nian and Wen Yi became more and more bold after being picked on by Ye Kong that day. However, Zhang Jiecheng's attitude is a little intriguing, he neither shows opposition nor support, and even completely ignores the behavior of the two.

However, this is a matter between the Zhang family and the Wen family, and Ye Kong has no intention of interfering to ask.

Although Wen Yi and Xiao Nian are both very good to him, and he also regards these two as friends, after all, this kind of thing involves two noble families, and outsiders are not qualified to interfere at all. Of course, if Wen Yi or Xiao Nian asked him for help, he would naturally not refuse, but if these two did not speak, then Ye Kong would naturally not interfere.

This is the minimum respect for a friend.

On the Shenzhou Continent, most of them are barren forests that have not yet been cultivated, and there are a lot of monsters and beasts in such places, and there are even some more dangerous places where there are real monsters gathered. Therefore, to travel long distances in the Shenzhou Continent, and not to take a post carriage or a floating flying boat, then naturally it requires great courage and high confidence in one's own strength.

However, since leaving that village, all the way away, what Ye Kong saw was a spacious dirt road that had been carved out.

Although the road is not paved with stone slabs, it is actually relatively safe for pedestrians if such a road is opened between the villages and towns. Except for those forest environments that really can't be cultivated, most of the roads that have been opened up are cleaned up on both sides within a few meters, and it is impossible to encounter ambushes or attacks by monsters and beasts.

With this alone, it is not difficult to see that the Zhang family has indeed spent a lot of effort in this area to run their own territory.

Compared with the Wen family, who only cared about the Golden City and the original Ding City, the Zhang family was more humane

"There are about two days to go, and after passing through this forest, we will arrive at Tianshui City." Xiao Nian sat next to Wen Yi, and then said to Ye Kong, "Xiao Qingyi doesn't come out to eat, is it okay?" ”

At this time, the caravan of the Zhang family was resting in a forest, because it was already night, and it was said that there were many wild beasts active in this forest, and there were even traces of low-level demon beasts, so the guards of the Zhang family's caravan were not idle, but had a clear division of labor and performed their duties: some people were responsible for patrolling, some people were responsible for lighting fires and cooking, and some people were splashing those mosquito repellent powders.

In a short time, the prototype of a camp was already built.

"It's okay, I've got some food for her." Ye Kong replied with a smile, "Then it is estimated that in two days, we will be separated." All I can say is, good luck to you. ”

Xiao Nian and Wen Yi knew what Ye Kong meant, and the two smiled a little shyly and didn't answer.

And it didn't take long for this small camp to get busy.

Everyone's spirits were very excited, because they knew that as long as they survived the last two days, they could get at least five days or so of vacation in Tianshui City, and the extra reward for this trip was quite a lot, and each of them could get a dividend of ten taels of silver, which was enough to make them feel excited.

Zhang Jiecheng had also promised Ye Kong that when he arrived in Tianshui City, he would immediately arrange a post station to vacate a carriage for Ye Kong, so that he could go to Tianshan City more conveniently and quickly. Before, Golden City was the territory of the Wen family, and they couldn't be the masters, but Tianshui City was the territory of the Zhang family, and Zhang Jiecheng, as the leader of a caravan of the Zhang family, still had a little bit of weight to speak in Tianshui City and the Zhang family, so this post station would definitely sell him face.

Of course, even if he didn't sell it, Zhang Jiecheng could use the resources of the Zhang family to prepare a carriage for Ye Kong, so that he could go to Tianshan City.

For such a result, Ye Kong naturally has no opinion.

He also knew that Zhang Jiecheng would suddenly make such a change, it must be because of something changed in Tianshui City.

These days, he has always used the Flying Eagle to pass on books, so he must have communicated with the Zhang family. It's just that these days, his face has not been very good-looking, and he looks a little depressed, so Ye Kong guessed that he might have encountered some problems.

But since the other party didn't open his mouth to ask for advice, of course Ye Kong wouldn't talk too much.

Because in the wilderness, there was no entertainment for everyone, so after dinner, everyone except for the person in charge of standing guard and patrolling the night began to rest. Ye Kong is naturally no exception, although the identity of a ghost cultivator does not require eating and resting, but after he relies on this physical body, he not only needs to eat, but even needs enough time to sleep, just like a real living person.

It didn't take long for the camp to suddenly become noisy.

Ye Kong's brows couldn't help frowning, he knew this situation, the previous few times when he encountered the attack of demon beasts, the entire camp reacted in the same way.

When he entered the woods before, Ye Kong had heard Zhang Jiecheng say that there were demon beasts in this forest, but they were all relatively low-level demon beasts, which were roughly equivalent to the level of about the sixth layer of entering the Xuan Dynasty, and only in the depths could they encounter those equivalent to the eighth or ninth layers of the Xuan Dynasty, or even the Great Perfection, but these were not a threat to this caravan with three cultivators in the Xuan Realm.

"It's okay, you can cultivate with peace of mind." Ye Kong looked at Qingyi who opened his eyes, chuckled and patted his head, and then got up and walked out of the carriage.

However, unlike the demon beast attack that Ye Kong thought of, the noise in the camp was because someone forcibly broke in.

The men were four burly middle-aged men.

Although there were only four of them, seeing the four of them standing in the east, west, north, and south directions of the camp, it felt like thousands of troops surrounded all of them.

When he saw these four people, Ye Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already judged the strength of these four people in an instant.

One of them is a Great Perfection of the Circle Realm, and although the other three are also Circle Realm cultivators, their strength is at the level of the third or fourth layer of the Circle Realm, and there is a gap in strength between them and the person standing due west. Even without the other three Circle Realm monks, the one standing due west alone would be enough to sweep through everyone in the entire camp.

Ye Kong looked at the other party's unkind look, walked to Zhang Jiecheng's side, and frowned slightly: "Your Zhang family has offended people?" ”

"There's no reason...... Zhang Jiecheng's face was very ugly at this time, "Circle Realm Monk...... How could our Zhang family provoke and offend. ”

The Zhang family is just a leading clan, and the strongest person in the clan is only a mid-level realm breaker. As the Wen family, the first leader of the Great Luo Leader, there are only four realm-breaking monks in the entire family, and there are only two realm-breaking monks in the entire Zhang family, and the remaining Yuanjing monks are only four or five, which is nearly half less than the Wen family. Therefore, even if the Zhang family seemed to be very powerful in the Great Luo Territory, in fact, it was impossible for them to provoke the Yuanjing cultivators.

Even if he really had a bad relationship with the Circle Realm cultivator, it would never be possible to offend so many people in one go, and if he really offended, he would definitely pick those who had no background and no potential, and once he did it, he would definitely fight to the death, and it would be impossible for the other party to escape.

Therefore, in the face of the four Circle Realm monks, one of whom still stepped into the Circle Realm Great Perfection with half a foot in the Broken Realm, Zhang Jiecheng was really at a loss and panicked.

"A few seniors, the juniors are Zhang Jiecheng of the Daluo Zhang family, this is our Zhang family's caravan, left from the Golden City two months ago, preparing to rush to Tianshui City, is there any misunderstanding here?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Jiecheng still stepped forward to speak.

"Starting from the Golden City, heading to the Zhangjia caravan in Tianshui City?" The middle-aged man standing due west was obviously the leader of the four, and it was naturally this person who spoke at this moment, "Two months ago, at the residence of the merchant group in the Golden City, you were the one who opened the Tianzi No. 10 box, right?" ”

Hearing that the other party even knew exactly what kind of room they had applied for in the Golden City's merchant group station, even a fool knew that there could be no misunderstanding here. Zhang Jiecheng's face turned completely white almost instantly, and the guards around him also became extremely frightened.

"Yes...... It's us. But even so, Zhang Jiecheng still hopes that this is just a misunderstanding.

He really didn't know, why did these people make trouble with their Zhang family, could it be that the Zhang family had inadvertently offended someone?

"Since it's you, you're not looking for the wrong person." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Zhang Jiecheng only felt a surge of blood, his eyes were dark, and a strong feeling of dizziness hit his brain, making his feet weak, and he almost couldn't stand. And the guards around him, the look on their faces can almost be said to be decadent, and everyone is the kind of despair that is about to usher in the end of the world. And Xiao Nian on the side grabbed Wen Yi's hand even more, the previous reserve and restraint, it seemed that under the threat of death, everything seemed unimportant.

"Dare...... Dare to ask...... Former...... Former...... Senior, that ......" Zhang Jiecheng's brain seemed to be a little short-circuited, and the whole person was a little confused, and his face was almost about to cry, "I don't know...... I, our Zhang family...... What offended you? ”

"Zhang's family?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, his face showing disdain, "I have no interest in your Zhang family." I'm looking for a little girl in your caravan. ”

"Little ...... Girl? Zhang Jiecheng didn't react.

Everyone was stunned.

In their caravan, there was only one little girl.

That's Qingyi.

"By the way, this little girl should still be carrying a coffin." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and added.

Little girl, coffin.

That's all right, it's Qingyi, and it's not running.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Ye Kong, who was standing next to Zhang Jiecheng.

And Zhang Jiecheng, for the first time, really felt what it means to go from hell to heaven.

At this time, he turned his head to look at Ye Kong, and the look on his face was obviously written, "Big brother, these people are here to find you"!
