On the official road fifty miles away from Hongyang County, the caravan stopped at the edge of the woods next to the official road, and the Deng family's miscellaneous servants were lighting a fire and cooking.

And next to the carriage, the Wudang disciples are feeding their horses, feeding them personally, which can gradually improve the ability of the horses and the Wudang disciples to cooperate.

The archers hid in the branches of the trees, looking around warily.

Under Jiang Jianhua's teaching, the archers not only have a lot of improvement in bow and arrow, but also have a lot of improvement in reconnaissance and concealment skills.

Now this new batch of archers is already developing in the direction of scouts.

In fact, in terms of reconnaissance, Zhang Tie really has a very powerful unit, that is, a disciple of Wudang.

Among the attributes of Wudang disciples, there is a skill that is easy to ignore, and that is reconnaissance.

The growth of Wudang's reconnaissance attribute is not low, and with the fact that he is equipped with mounts and accurate knife throwing skills, he can already be a powerful scout.

Outside a tent in the temporary camp, Jiang Jianhua opened the curtain and entered the tent, where Zhang Tie and Deng Wei were talking and laughing, sharing today's harvest.

Seeing Jiang Jianhua come in, the two also stopped discussing, Zhang Tie poured a glass of wine and beckoned to Jiang Jianhua.

"Jianhua, come, come and sit down, and have a glass of wine first."

Jiang Jianhua is not polite, he has spent a lot of time by Zhang Tie's side, and he is still quite familiar with Zhang Tie.

"Whew."

Picking up the wine on the table, Jiang Jianhua raised his head and drank it all.

"Master, I inquired, the next town, Taikoo County, with our current footsteps, we can reach it before the sun sets, but not far in front of us, there is a small town, I don't know if I want to go?"

"Oh? Don't know if this town is big? ”

Zhang Tie directly asked if the next town is big, if it is big, it must be to stay temporarily and trade, and if it is only a small town, it is not very suitable to stay and trade, and it is a waste of time.

Jiang Jianhua shook his head, "Master, this town is very small, and according to the people here, it is a little bigger than ordinary villages. ”

Zhang Tie and Deng Wei glanced at each other and nodded to each other.

"In this case, there is no need to stay in the town, go directly to Taikoo County, go to inform everyone, and go directly to the road after eating."

"Okay."

Just as Zhang Tie and the others were resting, two inconspicuous businessmen passed by on the official road.

The two merchants were brave enough to look at the caravan with curiosity as they passed by, and then continued to carry the goods, slowly disappearing into the eyes of the soldiers.

……

Ten miles from the caravan's camp, in a small mountain forest, more than 700 men lay in ambush, armed with all kinds of weapons, knives, guns, clubs, bows and arrows.

These people are the servants and guards led by the pharmacists in Hongyang County.

Because they were empty-handed, coupled with their familiarity with the terrain, they came to the front of Zhang Tie and the others by taking the form of a small road, and ambushed Zhang Tie and the others on the road they had to pass.

In the mountains and forests, two people dressed as foot merchants were appearing in front of Kim Dongwan and others, reporting what they saw on the road.

"The head of the family, the Deng family's caravan is ten miles away, they are living and cooking, and now that they think about it, they are already leaving, and it won't be long before they will be here."

Jin Dongwan nodded and waved his hand, "Well, I know, let's go down." ”

"Yes."

The two 'foot merchants' answered, then took a few steps backwards and walked into the mountains and forests, where they set up an ambush with the others.

Jin Dongwan pondered for a while, and said to the other six merchants beside him: "Everyone, the fat sheep is coming, get ready, when the time comes, everyone will directly charge and take them down in one fell swoop." ”

"Okay, no problem, let's get the goods of this caravan together."

"Okay, haha, I like fat sheep the most."

"Let's go, everyone, wait for the fat sheep to come.

A group of merchants are sharpening their knives, eager to fight the Deng family's caravan now and rob them of their finances.

……

On the official road, the caravan after lunch, after packing up, once again stepped on the official road and headed towards the next stop, ~ Taikoo County.

Along the way, Zhang Tie checked the system map from time to time to prevent accidents.

After such a long time of exploration, Zhang Tie has basically figured out the situation of some things in the system.

For example, in the use of systematic maps, on the map, the color of the characters is changeable, one moment it is still a gray dot, the next moment it will become black.

This change was discovered while walking in the mountains and forests, and more than ten gray spots at that time were far away from Zhang Tie and others, 500 meters away.

But when the distance was less than fifty meters, those gray spots instantly changed color and turned black, and they launched an attack on Zhang Tie and others, these attacking things were wolves in the mountains and forests.

The color can change from gray to black, but also from black to gray, but this can only be changed when you are outside of the mission.

After Zhang Tie knew this at that time, he finally knew why the assassin at that time disappeared.

It turned out that instead of coming out of the map range, the color changed.

Moreover, if Zhang Tie hadn't been the first to discover the enemy himself, the system would only remind him when the enemy launched an attack and launch a surprise mission.

If you find it early, the task will be given in advance.

Moving all the way, he soon came to a place where there were still three thousand meters away from the ambush of Jin Dongwan and others.

Zhang Tie, who was looking at the system map again, was stunned at first when he found more than 700 gray spots, and then came to his senses.

It's not an animal, it's just a human, because there can't be as many as seven hundred, and it's so concentrated.

From the map, Zhang Tie could clearly see that none of these people were on the official road, but hiding in the jungle.

"Is it a bandit? But how could there be so many bandits? ”

As Zhang Tie's doubts just appeared, on the system map, in the jungle on the side of the official road, the color of more than 700 gray spots suddenly turned black, and at the same time, the system's task prompt also appeared on Zhang Tie's retina.
