Chapter 166: Coolies

After going around and around, stopping and stopping, after traveling for more than two hours, Lu Ming and the others finally saw the shortcut that the hall master said.

At this time, the sky was already cloudy, and the visibility was much better, but looking at the insurmountable mountains in front of him, looking at the towering peaks and steep and steep rock walls, Lu Ming was a little big, this is also called a shortcut?

Perhaps seeing that Lu Ming's face was not very good, the Lu Hall Master hurriedly approached and explained: "Lu Shaoxia, don't worry, I didn't take everyone here to cross the mountains and mountains, the secret of this shortcut is hidden in the mountains." ”

"Oh, how?"

"Don't look at these mountains one after another, in fact, as long as you climb over the one in front of you, you can find a small road that leads straight to the outskirts of Tianfeng City, and then pass through a swamp to reach the bottom of Tianfeng City.

The reason why few people find it here is because of the outermost steep mountain peak, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb over it, and the swamp of Tianfeng City is also muddy and difficult to walk, so both countries do not pay much attention to this place, and there will not even be an ordinary guard. ”

As soon as Lord Lu explained this, everyone immediately understood that caravans and ordinary soldiers could not pass normally, which made this area lack strategic significance, and the two countries naturally did not have the energy to send additional manpower here.

But that's okay, for Lu Ming and the others, the soldiers and horses of Tatar Dan can't catch up here no matter what, and they can't imagine that they will pass here, so they will avoid worries.

"So what's next, how are we going to climb over the mountain in front of us?"

"Two miles to the west, there is a small mountain pass, you can climb it directly with light skills, and those with a little martial arts foundation can also climb it with the surrounding trees, it just takes some time."

Lu Ming nodded, glanced at Wu Keke, and Coco understood and released Lan Fat to investigate.

"Captain, there's someone over there."

Wu Keke did not deliberately lower his voice, and told the results of Lan Fat's investigation, and the Lu Hall Master was first shocked when he heard it, and then smiled: "Maybe it's some surrounding farmers who collect medicine, the holy woman doesn't need to make a fuss." ”

"But Lan Fat said that there are a lot of people, and some of them still have weapons in their hands." This sentence made everyone's faces change, and the eyes that looked at the Lu Hall Master were also a little unkind.

"Lu Daxia, Holy Maiden, I don't dare to lie to you, there are really very few people here, and only a few of our hall masters in the Northern Alliance know this way." Lord Lu hurriedly explained.

Lu Ming didn't see that he was lying, so he ordered: "Let's go over and see what is going on first, if there are not many people on the other side, we will find a way to take them down." ”

Now that he has come here, it is naturally impossible to turn back, and changing the route is also full of uncertain factors, so Lu Ming decided to go over to see the situation in person, if he can, he still wants to take this road as much as possible.

The group walked slowly and cautiously, and gradually approached the col, and sure enough, there were many Tatan soldiers guarding there, but what was surprising was that in addition to these soldiers, there were more people dressed as coolies, and it seemed that there were as many as two or three hundred people, all lying on the ground crookedly, as if they were still resting.

"What's going on?"

The so-called facts speak louder than words, and these soldiers and coolies in front of him also made the Lu Hall Master dumbfounded, and he was even more unclear about Lu Ming's question, so he could only squeak and say: "How is this possible, how is it possible, it doesn't make sense!" ”

Lu Ming saw that he was also at a loss, so he asked instead: "Let me ask you again, is there any other place here that can lead to that path?" ”

"No, only this one, other places have to pass, unless they can fly."

"What about the battlefield, is it possible to fish through the battlefield in troubled waters?"

Lord Lu shook his head and said: "In the past, it was okay to make a small fight, but recently this battle has been fought by both sides for three months, and they are still increasing their troops, I am afraid that there is no safe place anymore, and it is too difficult to pass smoothly." ”

When the Lord of the Lu Hall said this, Lu Ming was also a little difficult, it seems that there is a gap between the ideal and the reality after all, they still wanted to fish in the muddy waters on the battlefield before, but with the escalation of the scale of the war, it has become unlikely. For the sake of today, I am afraid that we still have to think of a way from this shortcut.

"Great Lord, are you sure about dealing with these soldiers?"

Thinking about it, Lu Ming felt that it was better to attack, there were about more than 100 soldiers guarding here, and there were less than ten people dressed as leaders, so it was expected that there would be no masters, as long as all these people were annihilated, they could still return to Great Wei through the path inside.

Lei Tianyi understood what he meant, and after taking a closer look, he said: "There are no masters, the strongest one is just a Heavenly Rank Martial Artist, it is not difficult to kill these people, but it is difficult to let go of any of them, in case there is a fish that slips through the net and runs out to report the news, I am afraid that it will attract a large number of troops, and it will be difficult to deal with at that time." Moreover, the position of these coolies is unknown, and it will be troublesome if they become enemies of us. ”

For a master like Lei Tianyi, these people in front of him have no enemies at all, but it is difficult to kill all these people in an instant, after all, he only has one pair of hands and feet.

After listening to Lei Tianyi's words, Lu Ming also compared the strength of the enemy and us in detail, and he found that although Lei Tianyi couldn't do it alone, if he shot at the same time with a few of them, he could still wipe out none of these soldiers, but the premise was that these coolies could not stand on their opposite side, let alone help these soldiers, otherwise, there would be no hope at all.

But it seems that these coolies were obviously enslaved by the Tatar soldiers, and some even brought bracelets and anklets, I am afraid that as soon as a few of them appeared, the Tatar soldiers would command these people to resist, and then it would be troublesome.

When Lu Ming was worried, Meng Da suddenly tugged on his arm and said, "Brother Lu, you have good eyes, help me take a look, why do I think that coolie looks so familiar." ”

Following the direction that Meng Da pointed, Lu Ming saw that there was a guy with a strange head in the outermost circle of this group of coolies who was sitting on the ground without resting, and he obviously showed a trace of disdain for the soldiers around him, and he was still scolding in a low voice.

"Li Honest? How could it be him, isn't he in Bianzhou? Lu Ming thought to himself.

This man who looks a little familiar is the boss of the "Living Treasure Trio" that Lu Ming met outside Bianzhou City, Li Laoshi, when he lost his daughter-in-law and field, he was forced to fall into the grass, but he was taught a lesson by Gao Yu, and he was implicated in the real murderer of the women's disappearance case by mistake. It's just that I don't know how he could have gone to Tardan to work as a coolie in less than a month.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming whispered in the ear of Wu Keke beside him, Li Laoshi's appearance may be a good opportunity!
