Volume 1 Origin Chapter 291 Hurry Together
Hancheng Guanguan Road, only need to go more than 60 miles, through two villages and towns, through the canyon in the middle of the two mountains can be reached.
Seeing that it is approaching the official road, the road is still sparsely populated, but more and more thieves are rampant, mostly looting those who are carrying the whole family's belongings, and dragging their children and daughters to the south for refuge.
These people fell into the hands of robbers and thieves, all the men were killed on the spot, the young, old, slaves and maids of the female dependents, and the young ones became the tools of these robbers and thieves, and the end was extremely miserable.
This is the way the world is, and when the law is in effect, the horror of human nature will gradually be revealed......
Along the way, Xiang Yun only felt as if he had returned to the Silver Moon Forest, the kind of killing that fought with wild beasts and had no burden, for this group of robbers and thieves who were worse than beasts, Xiang Yun only hated killing enough to relieve hatred and not be cruel enough!
He walked alone along the road all the way, until he came to the three-way intersection, and there was an extra road on the side, which converged on the slightly wider loess avenue in front of him, Xiang Yun's pace did not stop, and he had just stepped on the loess road!
Suddenly, on the hill beside him, seven or eight tall northern men with big knives in their hands rushed down the hill with a strange scream, rushing in the direction of Xiang Yun, their eyes were hideous and terrifying, like hungry wolves.
"Stop...... Asking for money?"
It was another robber robbery, Xiang Yun was already surprised by this, he just squatted down and silently picked up a few stones on the ground, waiting for them to rush to the front, and then kill them all without leaving behind!
However, before Xiang Yun could make a move, a burst of shouting suddenly sounded behind him, and more than ten people rushed from behind him, passed over him, and rushed directly to the seven or eight strong men.
The two sides fought each other in a fierce battle, and seven or eight strong men fell to the ground without a lifetime, and the dozen or so people only injured a few people.
"Hey...... Are you scared silly?"
Suddenly, a woman's cold voice sounded behind Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun turned his head to look and saw a young and beautiful woman, dressed in a fiery red suit, with long hair tied behind her head, and a long sword pinned to her waist.
At the same time, a middle-aged man with gray hair but a sharp gaze walked beside the woman, and when he saw Xiang Yun standing still, the middle-aged man smiled kindly and said, "Little brother, don't be afraid, the thief has been killed by us, and there will be no danger!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun reacted, feeling that they thought that they were standing motionless because they were stupid by the thief.
Xiang Yun couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he didn't say anything to explain, but said: "Thank you for the rescue, it was indeed too sinister just now, and I was also panicked for a while." ”
When the old man heard this, he saw that Xiang Yun didn't have any bags on him, so he asked, "Little brother, I don't know if you're going north or south?"
"Oh...... In the next time, I want to go north and go to Hancheng Pass to join the army. ”
"Hehe......" Hearing this, the woman on the side sneered and said: "With your guts, you dare to go to Hancheng Pass to join the army, but I am afraid that when you see the barbarian soldiers, you will be so scared that you can't even stand still." ”
"Ling'er, don't be rude!" The middle-aged man glared at the woman, reprimanded her, and then turned his head to look at Xiang Yun.
"Old man Xiao Ding, this is my daughter Xiao Ling'er, I am the owner of Xuyang Commercial Bank in Qingfeng County in the south, we went north this time to go to Hucheng outside Hancheng Pass to sell some goods. ”
Xiang Yun raised his eyes and saw that behind the man was a convoy, the convoy was not small, there were twenty carriages, the scale of forty or fifty people, and almost all of them were men in the prime of life, all of them were dressed in strong suits and swords at their waists, obviously the guards of the convoy.
Xiao Ding said again: "Since you are going north, there are many bandits and robbers along the way, it is definitely dangerous for you to travel alone, we and my little brother are just on the way, it is better for you to follow us, and there will be a good response on the road." ”
"This ......" Xiang Yun was suddenly a little surprised when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, after all, the speed at which he was moving forward was definitely not slow, and walking with the team would delay the time to hurry.
However, before Xiang Yun could speak, the woman in red named Xiao Ling'er raised her eyebrows and objected: "Dad, this trip to Tiger City has been full of crises along the way, we are too busy to take care of ourselves, how can we have the energy to take care of others." ”
Xiao Ding frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Ling'er, go out, help each other, this little brother goes north alone, it's too dangerous, what's the harm if we take him for a ride?"
"Hmph......!" Xiao Ling'er snorted coldly, her eyes staring at Xiang Yun, "This person's origin is unknown, how can you be sure that he is the one who needs our help, not the one who wants to harm us, in case he is a spy sent by a gang of robbers, wouldn't we be luring wolves into the house?"
Facing Xiao Ling'er's sharp and questioning gaze, Xiang Yun was a little depressed, and said in his heart, when did I say that I wanted to stay, and how did I become a spy sent by the robbers.
For this kind of unreasonable person, Xiang Yun was not in the mood to accompany him, he immediately arched his hand at Xiao Ding and said: "Uncle Xiao, thank you for your kindness, let's go alone, don't bother Uncle Xiao." ”
Saying that, Xiang Yun turned around and wanted to leave, but Xiao Ding hurriedly stopped Xiang Yun again, insisting on letting Xiang Yun stay.
"Little brother, along the way on this trip, thieves are rampant, you don't have any bags on you, and even food and accommodation are problems, how can you hurry?"
"You don't have to blame the little girl for being rude, she is this temperament, the old man apologized to you on her behalf, the young man is not afraid of no firewood, you still go with our team. ”
"Daddy......!" Xiao Ling'er objected again.
"Shut up, you won't listen to Dad's words, I said let this little brother stay, you can stay. ”
"This ......" In the face of such an enthusiastic Xiao Ding, Xiang Yun was also a little embarrassed to refuse, all he saw along the way was indifference, killing and plundering, Xiang Yun rarely saw such a warm-hearted person.
"Hey...... Either way, it's like escorting them. Xiang Yun thought so in his heart.
"Since that's the case, then it's troublesome Uncle Xiao. Xiang Yun did not shirk and directly thanked him.
As for Xiao Ling'er's fierce and vicious gaze on the side, she was directly ignored by Xiang Yun, the yellow-haired girl was not sensible, and Xiang Yun was not as knowledgeable as her.
Xiao Ding immediately asked a guard to take Xiang Yun to the rear to settle down, the carriage was loaded with goods, except for Xiao Ding and Xiao Ling'er, and several female dependents were in a carriage, and the rest were on foot, so Xiang Yun only followed the guards of a carriage to move forward.
When these guards saw Xiang Yun, they didn't have any unusual eyes, but they looked at this young man with curiosity, and a middle-aged man held the reins of the horse, looked back at Xiang Yun, and couldn't help laughing.
"Boy, your luggage has been snatched away...... And the giant sword on your body, it's made of aluminum, the workmanship is good, and it is estimated that it can scare off some ordinary little thieves. ”
Because now the north is not very peaceful, many people who are in a hurry, even if they don't know martial arts, will deliberately carry the blade, the more exaggerated the better, it is best to dress up as a ranger, how much can bluff some bandits.
And Xiang Yun now has no long body, only a big and amazing giant sword, and everyone subconsciously regards Xiang Yun as this kind of person.
Xiang Yun didn't care about this, but said with a smile: "This big brother guessed well, I was robbed by bandits halfway and wrapped in luggage, so I ran to find someone to help me polish this weapon, this giant sword is made of marble, it looks scary, but it is actually very light!"
"Damn, I originally said that this was scary enough, but I didn't expect to be almost chopped up just now, but fortunately I met Uncle Xiao to take it in. ”
For Xiang Yun's unabashed confession, while everyone laughed, they also had a little more affection for Xiang Yun in their hearts.
Everyone talked about it all the way, and Xiang Yun also learned that this Rising Sun Trading House was actually engaged in the medicinal herb business, and it traveled back and forth between Qingfeng County and Tiger City all year round.
They picked and purchased a large number of medicinal herbs every year, which were all transported to Tiger City, and then sold to the merchants of the thirteen subject states and barbarians of the Fengyun Country, especially the barbarian merchants.
Because the barbarian territory is located in an extremely cold place, it is difficult for plants and trees to grow, so these herbs are quite cherished by them, and once the fresh herbs are transported to Tiger City, the price often doubles several times.
According to these guards, in previous years, the herb business was very good, and it was very safe on the way, which can be described as a great profit.
However, this year is very different from previous years, the Rising Sun Commercial Bank has sent three batches of convoys to transport medicinal herbs from the beginning of the spring, but it has suffered accidents on the way one after another, the first two times were all robbed with people and goods, and the third time was that people came back a small half, but the goods were all gone.
Therefore, this time, Xiao Ding, the owner of the commercial bank, took his daughter Xiao Ling'er and an old guest of the commercial bank to escort the goods all the way to Hucheng.
Xiang Yun remembered the domineering woman in red, so he asked casually, "Eh...... By the way, big brothers, that young lady of yours seems to have a big temper. ”
"Haha......" Everyone immediately looked at each other and laughed when they heard this.
"Little brother, don't you know, the eldest lady's temper has been like this since she was a child!"
An old guard surnamed Chen said Ying He said: "Yes, the old man wanted to teach the eldest lady piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the eldest lady only likes to dance and play with swords, hoping to become a powerful cloud warrior." ”
"I didn't expect that the eldest lady is really amazingly talented, now she is only twenty-eight years old, and she is already a Qiyun martial artist, if you break through the realm of yellow clouds, our Rising Sun Firm, but there will be one more master at the level of a guest. ”
A scar-faced guard also smiled: "This time, our team, the eldest lady is the second master in the team in addition to Mr. Keqing Xu, you kid, don't look at my eldest lady is beautiful and have crooked thoughts, if you anger the eldest lady, we can't help you!"
Xiang Yun waved his hand again and again: "Ouch...... I don't dare to provoke your eldest lady, the tiger's ass can't be touched......!"
"Haha......" A group of big men burst into laughter.
"Ahem......!"
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly coughed and made eyes, reminding the others, and everyone immediately understood, and hurriedly held their breath, pulling the reins, lifting things, and alerting......
In an instant, everyone went about their duties, escorting the carriage safely, as if no one was talking or laughing just now.
Xiang Yun was the only one, looking at the reaction speed of these people in astonishment, but he couldn't find anything to do, so he could only look at the red figure in front of him with some embarrassment.
"Uh...... Miss Xiao. Xiang Yun could only say hello with a dry smile.
"Humph......"
Xiao Ling'er glanced at Xiang Yun and continued to walk forward, and when she passed by Xiang Yun's side, she stopped and said in Xiang Yun's ear.
"Boy, don't think that if you deceive my father's trust with a trick, you will be able to succeed in the conspiracy, my father is kind enough to take you in, but if you dare to be unscrupulous and secretly make any small moves, beware that I want your life!" Xiao Ling'er squinted at Xiang Yun, her eyes were full of cold murderous intent!
After that, Xiao Ling'er passed by Xiang Yun, and then he turned his head and said to the middle-aged guard who was leading the horse.
"Lao Chen, we don't have idlers in our convoy, this kid is a waste who can't fight, and in the future, just let him do the things of stationing camps and lighting firewood. ”
"Uh...... Yes, Miss. Lao Chen bowed his head and promised not to question.
Xiang Yun on the side looked at Xiao Ling'er's back and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
I rely on, they all say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and the villain's revenge is from morning to night, and this woman's revenge will come immediately, the key is that she has no grudges against her, why does this woman look at herself so unpleasantly.
Xiang Yun wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he still chose to stay.
First, this Xiao Ding has been running a business in Hucheng all the year round, and he must know a lot about the specific situation of Hancheng Pass, and he also wants to hear more news. Second, this Xiao Ding is warm-hearted, if he encounters any trouble along the way, he can also take action and solve one or two for them.
