Chapter Seventy-Two: Falling Goose Ridge
The next day, Li Baye officially started his journey, his speed was very fast, almost in a state of semi-cultivation, all the way was running rapidly, according to the map, he came to Zhanglin County in less than half a day.
He didn't stay here too long, but just bought a horse with pure red hair to use as a means of transportation.
In fact, if you really want to get to Qingxing, it is only three or four thousand miles away, and you can reach it in just a few days on a good horse, but Li Baye's purpose is not to go directly to Qingxing, but what he has seen and felt along the way.
So after the first two days of hurrying, after walking out of Surabaya Province, he began to go around in circles, he was going to go north through the west, then to the east, and finally arrived in Qingxing, and finally took a boat back.
Along the way, he drew a knife to help, but he cracked down on a lot of so-called township bullies and bandits, and of course he also took the time to kill some people, because outside the territory of Surabaya Prefecture, he was not afraid of being wanted by the government, so he took the pseudonym "Li Juxia" and began to do whatever he wanted.
Anyway, in these years, the heroes have been banned by force, and there are so many battles and killings in the rivers and lakes every day, and the government can't control it if it wants to, as long as they don't deliberately mutilate innocents and wantonly slaughter ordinary people, they don't bother to care.
If you are beaten, you will fight back, and if you are killed, you can only blame the practice of martial arts and blame others.
On this day, he followed a caravan to a canyon, where the cliffs on both sides are said to be more than a thousand feet high, and it is difficult for geese to fly, so it is called Luoyan Ridge.
This ridge is steep and steep, and the canyon trail is winding and slender, which is quite a feeling that there is no way to open it!
Li Baye stationed in front of the Horse Valley, looking at the deep canyon trail from afar, a gust of wind blew over the hills, and pieces of fallen leaves fluttered with the wind, showing gloom. The valley was silent, so silent that it gave the illusion that the cracked canyon was not a mountain, but a giant beast with an open mouth and a grinning mouth, trying to swallow all trespassers!
But this road is the only way to go west, otherwise you have to choose a detour, and there is no reason to travel hundreds of miles.
For Li Baye, it doesn't matter if it's a few hundred miles, just to see the scenery, but for ordinary business travelers, a few hundred miles means a huge loss of manpower, material and financial resources.
Therefore, even though this canyon is often plagued by bandits, many caravans still choose to take risks! Because even if you hire a few more dart masters to escort you, it is worth it to travel hundreds of miles.
"Brother Li, let's go to the bar, today's Luoyanling looks a little weird, I can't say that I will see blood in a while, drinking some wine can moisten my heart and lungs, and strengthen my courage!" said loudly a big man with a beard on his face, and threw a leather wine bag to Li Baye.
At this time, Li Baye was also full of beard, and his black hair was also messy, giving people a reckless and rude feeling.
He did this kind of style on purpose, and for a week he didn't take care of his appearance, his hair was not washed, his beard was not shaved, and his clothes were changed into a short cloth gown that he was accustomed to wearing, revealing thick body hair.
So it feels like he should be in his thirties, and even forty years old is believed by people.
For example, the dart master in front of him, who is also six feet tall and has strong body hair, hit him off at first sight and became a confidant and friend, since Li Baye met this caravan in a town the night before, the most majestic man in this caravan has shown a strong interest in Li Baye!
For a long time, he thought that he was talented, born with divine power, huge figure, far more than comparable to others, plus he has practiced hard skills since he was a child, and he has been practicing for more than 20 years.
In addition, he is also good at making a pair of drum urns and golden hammers, one hammer weighs 120 catties, and the two hammers weigh a total of 240 catties! In his hands, he is as easy as bamboo chopsticks, dancing tiger and tiger, ordinary third-rate martial artists basically can't resist two rounds, even second-rate martial artists can rarely beat him.
But such a strange person touched a nail in front of Li Baye and frustrated his spirit.
That night, he was happy to see the hunt, it was rare to see such a strong man who was taller than himself, he had to compare his strength with Li Baye, but Li Baye won easily, and then he was unconvinced and wanted to compare wine, and finally lost the battle, and drank himself unconscious, this time there was no way, he was completely convinced.
"Haha! Brother Lei, I like to drink your wine! It's really strong and spicy enough! Good wine!" Li Baye took the wine unceremoniously, drank it all in one goo, and spit out a strong sip of wine when he was done.
"Hey, hey, hey, you'll leave me some! I'll ...... Is this the end?" Lei Cheng's eyes widened, and he was very distressed as he watched Li Baye drink all the spirits he had brewed exclusively in just a few breaths.
"Isn't wine just for people to drink, don't be so stingy, Brother Lei!hahaha......" Li Baye threw the empty wine bag back to Lei Cheng and laughed.
On the other hand, Lei Cheng cried with a face, took back the wine bag, and muttered in his mouth: "I shouldn't give you wine to drink, why don't I have such a long memory! Damn, you drank my month's salary just before yesterday!"
The two of them laughed and cursed, slightly dispelling some of the heavy atmosphere in the caravan, and everyone shuddered in the face of the cold breathing canyon entrance, but the employer demanded that the goods must be delivered within three days, and they were just licking blood from the knife edge, and they had to take their lives knowing that it was dangerous! Otherwise, there would be no way to mix up on the road.
It's all mixed life, it's not easy!
Suddenly, a young dart master came running over from the side of the canyon and reported to Lei Cheng: "Deputy Commander Lei! Everything in the valley is calm and there is nothing abnormal, do you want to enter the valley now?"
"In that case, then let's hurry in and out, this place always makes Lao Tzu feel panic!" Lei Cheng glanced at the entrance of the canyon, shook his head, tried to shake off the uneasy emotions in his mind, and ordered, "Let the brethren cheer up, the archers stand on the periphery, and the pikemen stand inside!"
"Yes!" the young master ordered to leave.
Soon, a large caravan of more than 100 people officially entered the valley.
Li Baye has always trusted his instincts, and now the warning signs in his heart are almost on the verge of breaking out, but he did not stop it, nor did he change the course, but followed the caravan into the ambush circle.
Sometimes it's really weird, hunter and prey, and the change of role is just in an instant.
When the tsunami-like shouts of landslides and tsunamas sounded from the high cliffs on both sides, almost everyone's faces became extremely ugly, only Li Baye smiled: "I hope that the number of bandits in this wave is enough!
He silently pulled out two stainless steel short axes tied to his back, although they were short axes, but that was for his size, for ordinary people, the handle of the axe of three feet six was long enough, and the blade of the axe of one foot three was wider than the waist of most people, which could completely guarantee that there would be no mud and water when cutting through the human body!
