Chapter 189: Tailgating

With the arrival of this group of people, some of the diners who were still chatting in the inn also quieted down in an instant, and the huge dining hall on the first floor of the entire inn, although it was almost full, was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Han's eyes swept over everyone, and when he saw the jade slip on everyone's chest, he roughly guessed the identity of these people in his heart, and he could use the national emblem of the Izumo Empire as the jade slip, and it was only the army of the Izumo Empire, and it must be the most elite troops, because ordinary soldiers were not qualified to wear such a national emblem at all.

Immediately, Xiao Han looked out the window, there were more than a dozen large carriages parked in a row outside the window, each carriage was loaded with several large iron boxes, and a large number of soldiers wearing the same armor were guarding around the carriage with serious expressions, and their sharp eyes kept scanning from the crowd of people, causing the people passing by around to look at each other curiously.

Xiao Han's gaze stayed on the big iron boxes for a moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he felt that those big iron boxes contained strong spiritual power fluctuations, similar scenes Xiao Han had also encountered, when a large number of beast pills were stacked together, such a reaction would occur.

"Could it be that all those big iron boxes contain beast pills? Xiao Han secretly thought in his heart, but as soon as this idea came out, he was shocked into a cold sweat, if the situation was really as he expected, how many beast pills were contained in so many big iron boxes, this was definitely a very terrifying number.

Xiao Han looked away without moving, and no longer paid attention to those big iron boxes, for fear of arousing the suspicion of those soldiers.

"This time the Canaan Empire is completely finished, although their strength is stronger than our Izumo Empire, but this time our four empires attack it at the same time, no matter how strong it is, it can't resist the combination of our four empires. Suddenly, one of the first middle-aged men to come in whispered.

"Yes! If you want to blame, we can only blame the Canaan Empire for occupying all the rich land, which makes us all covetous, and we used to be afraid of the old guy of the Xiao family, so we didn't dare to touch the Canaan Empire, but now, the old guy of the Xiao family has been missing for many years, and he is probably dead! Without the existence of that old guy, I see how the Canaan Empire can resist the alliance of our four empires this time. A middle-aged man next to him sneered.

"Third child, you can't say that, although the old guy of the Xiao family is very likely to have died, but the current strength of the Canaan Empire is still not weak, they have ten masters on the surface, each of them is a strong man of Xuanzong, this alone is much stronger than our Izumo Empire, and who knows how many Xuanzong are hidden in secret!"

"That's right, none of the ten Xuanzong on the surface of this is from the Xiao family, and according to my master, the old guy of the Xiao family had a servant back then, and he was also a strong man of the Xuanzong rank, but he has always been low-key, and few people know him, counting him, the number of Xuanzong in the Canaan Empire is at least eleven, which is three more than our Izumo Empire. ”

"If it's just our Izumo Empire against the Canaan Empire, it's true that we will only be defeated, but unfortunately this time it's a coalition of the four empires, and the number of Xuanzong is nearly thirty, hmph, I see how the Canaan Empire can resist this time. ”

Several middle-aged men who looked like generals were talking one after another, although the inn was already full of people, but only they were talking at one table, so although the voice was small, it was still heard clearly by Xiao Han.

Xiao Han's heart was not as calm as it was on the surface, and his expression became a little complicated, thinking and worrying. The Xiao family is his home, with a unique feeling, although there are not many people who really care about Xiao Han, there are still some people who make Xiao Han miss, the eldest brother Xiao Li and others are all people who have really cared for Xiao Han, as well as his father Xiao Zhan, who has been meticulous to him since he was a child.

Now as soon as he heard that the four imperial alliances were attacking the Canaan Empire, Xiao Han was not only worried about his relatives in the Xiao family, but even had the idea of returning to the Canaan Empire immediately, but this idea was quickly annihilated by Xiao Han, he was not an impulsive person, he knew his current strength very well, relying on the help of the twin star immortal projections, he could barely deal with the general Xuanhuang, in front of a strong man like Xuanzong, he probably didn't even have the strength to fight back, although he had not seen the strong man of Xuanzong do it, but it was not difficult to guess their approximate strength。

Xiao Han lowered his head and ate the food without taking a bite, his movements seemed a little numb and dull, and he didn't have the appetite he had before.

At this time, one of the middle-aged men who looked like generals spoke up: "Do you think that old guy from the Xiao family will suddenly appear? Although he has been missing for several years, most of them are dead, but this is just our speculation after all. ”

"That old guy has already reached his peak, he disappeared decades ago, and I guess he also went out to seek a breakthrough. Someone said.

"Then will he break through, once he breaks through, then we ......"

"Shut up! It's impossible, don't say anything like that again. Immediately, someone shouted angrily.

Xiao Han listened to the conversation of several of them while eating, and from their conversation, Xiao Han also learned more information, the most important of which is that the war between the four empires and the Canaan Empire broke out, and it would take two or three years to wait, after all, this time the four empires alliance was going to wipe out the Canaan Empire in one go, so the pre-war preparations and the transportation of various war materials must be quite well prepared, and if you count the deployment of the army, the time required is also quite long.

After the meal, Xiao Han went directly back to the room he opened to rest, and it just so happened that those general-level figures also spent the night in this inn, they did not charter the entire inn, but stayed in the same way as ordinary diners.

At night, Xiao Han sat cross-legged on his knees and sat in bed for a whole night, and under the window of his room, he could see the dozen or so carriages equipped with large iron boxes, where soldiers were guarded all night, and they seemed very cautious.

Now, Xiao Han has affirmed that the big iron box must contain the beast pill, and now that the Izumo Empire and the Canaan Empire are about to go to war, the Xiuzhen cannon will definitely be used as the main attack firepower, and at the moment, this large number of beast pills may be the consumption of the Xiuzhen cannon that is transported to the border to supply it!

In the early morning of the second day, after a simple breakfast, several generals bought a large amount of dry food and some drinking water in the inn, and then escorted a group of soldiers wearing armor to a dozen large carriages and left Shaoyang City.

Not long after they left, Xiao Han also left the inn and rode his second-order spirit beast mount to follow them from afar. He would never allow such a large batch of beast pills to be transported to the borders of the Izumo Empire to attack the Canaan Empire.

Although Xiao Han knew that there were many masters among them, it was extremely difficult to deal with, but for the sake of the Xiao family, he had to do this, because he heard clearly from the conversations of several general-level figures, once the Canaan Empire went to war, the Xiao family would also be the main force and rush to the forefront.

A large group of soldiers wearing the national emblem of the Izumo Empire, Jade Jane, pressed more than a dozen large carriages full of iron boxes and slowly walked on the official road, their steps were neat, and even the movements when walking were almost identical, and everyone naturally exuded a killing aura, which was honed after countless battles of life and death after a long time on the battlefield, so it can be seen that this is definitely an elite division of the Izumo Empire.

And five kilometers behind, Xiao Han rode a second-order spirit beast in a caravan and followed the group of soldiers from a distance, thinking about how to start all the way.

There are only more than 200 soldiers in this team, although the number is not much, but because they are well-trained elite divisions, they are very difficult to deal with, among which the masters of the Xuanwang rank alone account for a small half, and the rest all have the strength of Xuanling, compared with the group of rabble of the Dayu clan, the combat effectiveness is stronger by more than one grade, and Xiao Han can still feel that those general-level characters are almost all strong people of Xuanhuang.

After all, the number of this batch of beast pills is not small, and it is also very important as a war preparation material, and it is completely common sense for the Izumo Empire to send a few Xuan Huang escorts.

At noon, the scorching sun in the sky was like fire, exuding a strong high temperature to bake the earth, baking the ground hot, Xiao Han walked in the caravan for half a day, and finally separated the caravan and the soldiers at a fork.

Xiao Han broke away from the caravan and followed the pair of soldiers far away alone, but the distance was extended from the previous five kilometers to eight kilometers, because this is a plain, and occasionally there will be some weeds on the side of the road, but it does not obstruct the line of sight, the field of vision is very wide, if you follow too closely, it is too easy to be discovered.

In the blink of an eye, the sky had already darkened, Xiao Han had been walking slowly for a day with the pair of soldiers from a distance, there was no city near here, so the team of soldiers randomly chose an open place to camp and rest, and began to make a fire to cook.

However, during the break, their defense was tighter, and there was a special team of people riding spirit beasts to patrol around, so that Xiao Han, who was hiding in the dark and observing, could not find the opportunity to make a move, facing an elite division with extremely strong combat effectiveness and several powerhouses of the Xuanhuang rank, Xiao Han would not be stupid enough to fight with them.

The next morning, the group of soldiers began to pack up the camp and set off early, and Xiao Han was still far behind them, because the distance was very long, there were many adventurers and caravans walking on the road, almost every moment they would meet a caravan or adventurer, so Xiao Han's abnormality was not noticed by them, once he met a caravan on the same road on the way, Xiao Han immediately mixed in the caravan to cover himself, to cover himself to the greatest extent.

Until noon, Xiao Han separated from the caravan on the same road again, and hung alone far behind the group of soldiers, because the weather is hot now, when passing by a small forest, the group of soldiers finally stopped, and sat on the grass to rest, many people took out the kettle and began to gulp water to quench their thirst.

"This hell it's so hot! The water is almost gone, it seems that we have to find a little water to replenish it quickly, and on this hot day, the brothers can go without food for two or three days, but they can't do without water. A middle-aged man at the level of a general spoke.

A general-level figure next to him took out a map and looked at it carefully, and then his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a point on the map and said, "Look at the markings on the map, there is a river near here, we can go and get some water." ”

Several general-level figures immediately came over, and one of them immediately ordered: "Someone, send someone to fetch some water three kilometers to the southwest." ”

"Yes, Lord. Immediately, a soldier collected everyone's water bottles and put them in the storage belt, and then rode a second-order spirit beast mount and ran in the direction of the water source.

Soon, the soldier came to the edge of a small river, which was only about two meters wide, and the water was crystal clear and unpolluted.

Jumping off his mount, the soldier immediately took out all the water bottles from his storage belt and placed them on the ground one by one, and then began to fill them with water one by one.

At this moment, a strange change protruded, and a silver-white light shot out from the weeds not far away at an incredible speed, and before the soldier could react, the silver-white light passed through his neck.

A skull flew high with blood from the sky, and the entire head of the soldier who was fetching water was cut off by this silver-white light, and the bright red blood flowed in the river, staining the clear river water bright red.

A young man in a white cloth shirt walked out of the weeds on the side, naturally it was Xiao Han.

Xiao Han came to the soldier, thought for a while, and then quickly dug a pit, lay down the soldier's clothes and buried them on the spot, and at the same time covered the blood on the ground with some soil to prevent the smell of blood from wafting out and being smelled by some spirit beasts or humans with a keen sense of smell.

After doing all this, Xiao Han washed the blood remaining on the armor, then took off his clothes and put the armor on himself, and then took out some disguised magic weapons from the storage belt to completely change his appearance to the appearance of this soldier, and finally picked up the kettle and walked dozens of meters upstream of the river to start drawing water.

After filling a pot of water, Xiao Han immediately took out the fangs of the silver real gold snake that he kept from the storage ring and threw the fangs directly into the water.

The silver real gold snake is a highly poisonous thing, its poison is strong enough to rank among the top three, and the fangs are the most poisonous things on its body, its poison is so violent, enough to be compared with the poison sac, as long as this fangs are soaked in water, in less than half a column of incense, you can dye a tank of water into poisonous water with severe toxicity.
