Chapter 279 Ascending the Mountain

Four days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, Chen Zheng and his entourage have hardly gone out, and have been acting with the people of Baiyun Mountain, but the information passed on, as well as the situation outside, are becoming more and more tense, and even ordinary herdsmen vaguely feel that something bad is about to happen, and there is a feeling that the wind and rain are coming.

And Zhang Shilong also had some exchanges with Bahantu of the Barge Horse Department in the evening of the first day, and the news he got was indeed as Bai Qingyan said, the other teams of the Shenhou Mansion did not arrive in time as agreed, but most of the other supports sent by Beiyan were already in place, when Zhang Shilong said that he wanted to hand over the Nine Heavens God Thunder Talisman, Bahantu said that this grassland warrior conference was different from usual, and the competition was the combat power of high-level people, which may not be able to play a very good role. However, in the end, Zhang Shilong opened the iron box and accepted the talisman. As for what the two of them said that night, Zhang Shilong didn't say it, but he looked worried.

Outside, the camp was bustling on the surface, full of cries and herds of cattle and sheep, but few people knew what a deep undercurrent lurked beneath this brief moment of peace.

On the day of the Prairie Warriors Conference, when the sky was just dawning, there were earth-shattering cheers outside, surging like a mountain and a sea, directly waking up Chen Zheng in his sleep.

"What's going on?" Chen Zheng had just woken up, his head was still a little confused, and he suddenly reacted that it was time for the conference to start today, and he muttered to himself, "The Prairie Warrior Conference has begun?" At this time, Yu Zhiruo's voice also came from outside, "Brother Chen, wake up, the Prairie Warrior Conference is about to start, and we are also going up the mountain, to Mayan Mountain." ”

"It's coming, I'm coming out right away."

For a while, such a picture appeared in the entire Four Seas Trading House, and it seemed to be active all of a sudden. Not only that, but in the vicinity of the Four Seas Trading House, it was obvious that the herdsmen who had lived in tents had begun to prepare to move, but they moved quickly, unlike ordinary herdsmen.

If Chen Zheng is here, he will reveal the answer to everyone, these people seem to be a small tribe of several hundred people, but in fact, they are all small troops established by Beiyan to reconnoiter the news periphery, and everyone in them is strictly trained, and the real elite may have entered the Mayan Mountains. Those who are more attentive will notice that there is occasionally a glimmer of light under the skins of these people, which is the reflection of metal, and the cattle and sheep have carts and weapons stored in them, and once they are given orders, they can be armed in an instant.

Chen Zheng and the others didn't do much of the armament, after all, their faces were quite different from those of the grassland people, so they didn't hide their identity, but Bai Qingyan wore a veil and a turban, hiding himself very well, and from the outside, she looked like a woman who was good at riding horses, and she couldn't find out that this was a martial artist who had entered the Dao realm.

The group followed the crowd to Mayan Mountain.

When you arrive at the pass of Mayan Mountain, you can see a crowd of people, and there is no imaginary chaotic and orderly scene.

On the contrary, at the pass of Mayan Mountain, there were groups of cavalry maintaining order and guarding, and everyone who went up the mountain was strictly inspected without a trace of slackness.

Soon the tasting team was Chen Zheng and his party's turn. "Who's coming?" The cavalry on guard uttered the phrase that he had said no longer than he knew how many times, without the slightest impatience.

"All of you from the Four Seas Commercial Bank are invited to participate in the Prairie Warriors Conference." Zhang Shilong stepped forward and handed over an invitation made of sheepskin.

The cavalry took it and looked at it, it was still from the Northern Yan. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can come with me, the treatment is different from other ordinary herdsmen, and it quickly attracted the attention of others." ”

A group of people followed the cavalry into the mountain pass, and the more they walked inside, the more they found that there were more grassland cavalry inside, and it can be said that the entire foot of the mountain was in a state of blockade, which showed that the barge horse department attached great importance to the grassland warrior conference.

A familiar figure appeared in front of Chen Zheng's eyes, it was the murderous grassland general Battle he saw when he came to the Barge Horse Department on the first day. "Ladies from Beiyan, I was ordered by the patriarch to arrange a few people to go up the mountain, this warrior conference will be held at the peak of Mayan Mountain, I will arrange a few guides for you, especially after you arrive at the mountain, you must follow the pace of the guides, don't take other mountain roads at will, if you are attacked by our tribe warriors, don't blame me for not reminding you." At this moment, there were thousands of steppe cavalry behind Battle, which made this person even more murderous.

"General rest assured." Zhang Shilong arched his hand, indicating that he had memorized Battle's words.

Battle waved his hand and said, "Let go." The cavalry behind him quickly gave way to a passage, and several people dressed as herdsmen around them immediately walked up and joined Chen Zheng and the others.

The group left quickly, but Battle's eyes were indeed firmly fixed on Bai Qingyan's back, and the warrior's intuition made him feel that that person was extraordinary, and the uselessness he was proud of might not have the slightest effect in front of the masked man. There was also some uneasiness in my heart.

However, thinking of the patriarch's arrangement and the great witch sacrifice's magical skills, he shook his head, dispelled his distracting thoughts, recovered his evil spirit, and focused on completing his task.

A cavalryman on the side quietly came over and whispered: "General, I just sent someone to check, this Four Seas Commercial House is actually the property of the Baiyun Mountain Gate of Beiyan, not only that, but the small tribe that came in with them is probably not clean, it should also be Beiyan people, should we... "I made a wink motion, meaning whether to send someone to watch.

Battle waved his hand to interrupt the cavalry's words: "No, now the patriarch is cooperating with Beiyan, and the Great Witch Festival is also very supportive, we can't go too far, I don't see that now Beiyan has bought or even set up some small tribes, we don't care about it, but secretly help, and even sell war horses." It's an eventful time, and if we want to tide over the crisis, we need the support of the Beiyan people. Now Beiyan is as strong as a wolf, but when the wolf is weakened, it will be the moment when we show our fangs, remember what I said, and do what the patriarch asks. ”

After listening to the few steppe cavalry around, no one raised any objections, but there was an excited smile in their eyes, and the kind of remarks that the Northern Yan and the Barge Horse Department said in the newspaper should be very problematic, and the relationship between the two is probably not as close as it seems.

Several barge tribe guides led Chen Zheng and some pedestrians onto a winding and rugged path that could circle up the mountain. I have to sigh the magic of nature, even if the mountain road of this Mayan Mountain is relatively wide, there is no problem for three people to drive side by side, the horses can just move forward, no wonder the barge horse department wants to arrange so many cavalry under the mountain, if someone comes to make trouble, you can also calmly pursue on the mountain.

Not only that, but even some of the woods on the side of the road had a faint sense of danger, as if something deadly was hidden inside. It was clear that the people of the Barge Horse Department had arranged manpower or traps in it, and these things were obviously not intended to deal with these guests, but should be the group of people with other purposes. I don't know how many fatal locations there are on this road, and I don't know how many places on this Mayan Mountain have made the people of the Ma Department into an impregnable wall or even a desperate situation. It is estimated that anyone with bad intentions will receive a warm welcome from a group of people when they come to the mountain.

In this environment, the role of a group of soldiers is not as obvious as that of a single powerful warrior. If it is a vast plain, the soldiers can form a military formation, and the cavalry can also play all kinds of fancy skills. Although the road on Ma Yan Mountain is okay, there are at most three cavalry or six foot soldiers in a row, and at this time it is time for the strong warriors to play their role.

Chen Zheng was a little worried, once someone from the Tiele Department really made a move, it must be menacing, there was a head of Baiyunshang, and there should be a certain amount of security, as for the route to leave at that time, I had to think about whether I could get a map of the mountain road.

The Tiele Department is fighting away, and the Barge Horse Department has also arranged heavy troops and the masters of Beiyan are secretly supporting, and the Tiele Department definitely has some hole cards, it is very likely that the herdsmen and people who came to join in the fun or they also have foreign aid behind them, such as Yan Xuelan once said that the Heavenly Abandonment Sect.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Zheng's face couldn't help but feel a little worried, he could say that he didn't have any hole cards in his hand now, and he really had no confidence in his heart.

Yan Luo keenly noticed Chen Zheng's expression: "What? Scared? ”

Chen Zheng's old face flushed, "This warrior conference is extraordinary at first glance, it can be said that there are heavy guards everywhere, I heard that it is still a battle of life and death, I think that no matter that person will be afraid." ”

Yan Luo nodded and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, even if there is danger, we can face it together, you are not usually like this, how can you suffer from gains and losses." ”

Chen Zheng's heart moved, if it weren't for Yan Luo talking about this, I'm afraid that even he didn't realize that he seemed to be suddenly sentimental, could it be that the problem of system task punishment caused him to fall into some kind of panic?

"Well, it's okay, don't worry, it may be that I've been a little tired recently, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and I may have seen a big person, and the shock in my heart is relatively big, and I haven't eased it up until now." In order not to let Yanluo worry, Chen Zheng was also comforted, cheered up, couldn't let the people around him worry about him, and was about to go to the top of the mountain.

Although the group set off earlier, the mountain road is some distance, and it seems that they are about to reach the top of the mountain, and they can already see those various ribbon-like decorations, and the sun is getting higher and higher.

Chen Zheng estimated that in a few quarters of an hour, they would be able to reach the top of the mountain.

"Okay, a few people, we'll send you here, as for the next road, we don't care if you want to go up the mountain or go somewhere else, but please don't go to some more secret places at will, if you get hurt at that time, it won't be good." Then the guides saluted slightly, and then rode away, leaving Chen Zheng and his party still in place. They were not given the slightest opportunity to speak.

"Alright, let's take a rest here." Bai Qingyan spoke in time, as the person with the highest cultivation, it was understandable for him to give orders.

"Master, aren't we going up to the top of the mountain?" Yu Zhiruo's face was a little surprised, and this was exactly the doubt in the hearts of Chen Zheng and the others.

"It's not the right time yet, just last night I got an urgent message for the division. In addition to the competition between the young people of the two tribes, the great witch festival of the Horse Tribe, and the patriarch of the Tiele tribe are going to have a life-and-death battle, for you, the battle of the warriors of that level is still too dangerous, and it is easy to be affected by their attacks, didn't you pay attention when you came? There are also other people on other mountain roads around who are stopping to watch, the situation is still unclear, everyone is very smart, and they will not rush up. And yesterday for the teacher also watched the sky at night to divinate a hexagram, this time there are many variables and chaos in the sky, we still wait and see the changes first. The content of Bai Qingyan's mouth was more touching than the other, but the expression was natural, the eyes were flat, obviously the matter was not too tense, and it was still within the controllable range.

It must be said that soon on the top of this Mayan Mountain, there will be two masters engaged in a battle of life and death, these people are all a fierce spirit, as the Tongmai realm, they can be fortunate to see the duel of powerful martial artists, and the experience and martial arts in it are worth observing and learning.

According to Bai Qingyan, the Great Witch Festival of the Barge Horse Department has been a martial artist who has entered the Dao Realm many years ago, and it is also a rare martial artist in the history of the Barge Horse Department, after so many years of accumulation, the loss of qi and blood has stopped growing, and it can even be said that there has been a loss, but how much energy his person has, no one can say well, not every powerful martial artist is an old man and an old lady, but there is no old top martial artist, there must be a lot of background on his body, and the outbreak between life and death, There have been many cases of backlash in history.

And the patriarch of the Tiele tribe is also extremely amazing in the intelligence of Beiyan's side, also as a martial artist who has entered the Dao realm, unlike the old Great Witch Sacrifice of the Barge Horse Tribe, he is in the prime of life at this time, and his body is at the most abundant stage of qi and blood. It is said that this person has already shown a strong talent for martial arts when he was young, and there is no problem at all in cultivating for a thousand miles in a day. Frustrated I don't know how many warriors, and the patriarch's courage is still very big, according to the reason, every grassland tribe is indispensable to the Great Witch Sacrifice, and the status is the same as the patriarch, but he doesn't know what means are used, and the new Great Witch Priest of the Tiele Department is still appointed by him, and the means can be seen in general. The rivers and lakes are in another world
