Chapter 152: Skirmish
The further you went, the more pedestrians there were on the road, including cultivators, civilians, and businessmen riding earth dragons like Zhang Zheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, buddy, how far is Qingshan Town?" Zhang Zheng couldn't stay idle, and asked as he caught an ordinary person passing by
"It's not far! Twenty miles away!" replied the man.
"Thank you!"
There are still twenty miles, I don't know if I can get there in one hour, Zhang Zheng estimates the speed of these earth dragons, one hour is really mysterious. Alas, I can't be in a hurry, let's wait slowly, Zhang Zheng took a cigarette and walked on the back of the earth dragon boringly, at first I saw so many kinds of mounts Zhang Zheng still felt quite fresh, but after a long time, I got tired of it.
"Young master, look ahead!" Just when Zhang Zheng was bored and was about to close his eyes and recuperate, Xiao Xueqing pulled him up.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Zheng looked forward, only to see a lot of earth dragons slowly advancing in long lines on the road, each earth dragon was full of goods, due to too much load, causing them to travel very slowly, Zhang Zheng and this group of people gradually narrowed the distance.
"Hehe, I was overtaken all the way, this time I finally got to Brother Chao once" Seeing that there were people slower than him, Zhang Zhengle was happy, subconsciously patted the back of the earth dragon twice, and shouted like a horse, "Drive!, speed!"
Hey, why don't you run, it turns out that this thing is not a horse, Zhang Zheng wants to speed up, but it doesn't seem to have much effect, the earth dragon is still not in a hurry, fortunately, the other party is slower than it, the distance is gradually getting closer after all, and it hangs behind the butts of this group of people after more than ten minutes.
Zhang Zheng also saw the whole picture of this team, more than a dozen earth dragons, most of the earth dragons were loaded with goods, and there were several bodyguards with weapons sitting on the goods, and the earth dragons in the middle were not loaded with goods, but there were tents on them, and they were blocked by curtains, Zhang Zheng could only vaguely see the figures inside, and from the figure, it seemed to be a woman.
"These people are simply cruelty to animals!" Passing by a few earth dragons behind, Zhang Zheng took a look, and the goods on these earth dragons were one or two tons, to say the least.
"Young master, this caravan is quite big," Xiao Xueqing looked at it and said to Zhang Zheng
Zhang Zheng nodded approvingly, the goods on these ten earth dragons should be more than fifteen tons, and the total value must be a lot, otherwise there would not be so many bodyguards, Zhang Zheng counted carefully, a total of forty people, except for a small number of people dressed as men, the others are all armed with weapons, among these people, mages account for ten, Zhang Zheng looked at them at the same time, these guards also looked at him, with a look of vigilance on their faces.
The combat effectiveness of this group of people is definitely not weak, and they are definitely not a rabble, seeing that they did not relax their vigilance against themselves because they have few people, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but think a little higher about this group of people
I don't know who this group of people is? Zhang Zheng was a little curious, and when he passed by the big tent in the middle, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but take a few more looks, but the curtain was very tight, and except for a few figures, he couldn't even distinguish between men and women, let alone looks.
"Look at it! Don't go yet!"
Zhang Zheng's movements were too obvious, and immediately some guards stopped them sharply, and the other guards all looked at Zhang Zheng and the others with wary faces, and even more, their hands were already on the weapon, as long as Zhang Zheng made a little hostile movement, they would do it.
"Don't be nervous, buddy, we're not bad guys!"
Zhang Zheng raised his hands with a smile, indicating that he was not hostile, and continued in his mouth, "I'm just curious, just take a look." ”
"You can't look at it!
The other party did not relax his vigilance because Zhang Zheng was smiling, but was more careful.
"Fuck, dare to speak to our young master like this! I don't want to live, right?" Before Zhang Zheng could speak, Xiong Ren behind him pulled out his big sword and pointed at a few people and scolded.
"Wow, whoa, whoa!"
"What do you want to do!"
Xiong Ren's sword was like igniting a powder keg, and the opposing guards pulled out their weapons one after another. Zhang Zheng's movements were not slow, and when he saw that the other party had slashed his sword, he quickly jumped off the ground dragon and the guy to surround Zhang Zheng and Xiao Xueqing in the middle.
The two sides glared at each other angrily, and the atmosphere was tense, as long as either side made a little move, a fight was inevitable.
"Hmph! Just these few people dare to find trouble, it's really self-defeating!" Seeing that there were only a few people on Zhang Zheng's side, the guards on the opposite side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at Zhang Zheng with a face full of disdain, "Which little boy is this, dare to run around outside with such a little guard, Lao Tzu will let you have a long memory now, brothers, go on, kill them for me!"
As he spoke, the group was about to make a move, when a voice suddenly interjected
"What's wrong with such a few guards, do you need a lot of people to solve you?" said Huoyun slowly as he got up from the Earth Dragon
As soon as the words fell, a flash of fire flashed rapidly, and then suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"Ahh
However, everyone knew that it was not an illusion just now, because several people had already fallen to the ground blackened and did not know whether they were alive or dead, and how all this happened, no one could see clearly.
"Fire King-level Mage!"
There was an exclamation from the tent, it was a woman's voice, but it sounded like she was not young.
"What's wrong with them!" The guards on the opposite side of the sudden situation took a few steps back, and their faces all changed! The other party actually has a king-level powerhouse, this time it is a big trouble, although there are many people on his side, but he has little chance of winning against the king-level powerhouse, not to mention that he still has helpers, many people may die here today.
"Count them lucky, our young master doesn't like to kill, it's just a small punishment" Huoyun's tone was understated, as if he had done a trivial thing, after finishing speaking, Huoyun walked up to Zhang Zheng and said, "Young master, do you want to teach them another lesson?"
"Forget it, it's not too early, it's important to hurry" Zhang Zheng said lazily, he never went down to the earth dragon, this time with a lot of heavy weapons, and there were fire clouds, he didn't care about his own safety at all.
"Okay, young master"
After receiving Zhang Zheng's instructions, Huoyun, Xiong Ren, and several other guards all put away their weapons and returned to their respective earth dragons, without looking at the people around them from beginning to end.
The people on the other side looked at each other, and after beating us, they wanted to leave without saying a word, and this was too ignorant of us, and they really wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare to do that, and there would definitely be a fierce battle after stopping them, and casualties were inevitable, but who wanted to die? No one wanted to die, so they had to just watch Zhang Zheng and them leave in style.
............
"Are they gone?"
After Zhang Zheng walked away, a beautiful woman's voice came from the tent.
"Miss, they're already far away," replied the guard standing outside the tent
"How many of us were injured?"
"Five seriously injured!"
"Send someone to take care of them, hurry on the road, and if you delay any longer, it will be dark." The tent spoke again
"Yes!"
In the tent
The two women were talking, one was about thirty or forty years old, and she was good-looking, although there were traces of time now, but it could be seen that this woman must have been quite good-looking when she was young, and the other was much younger, but she had a veil on her face, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, and she was also dressed as a man, so she couldn't be betrayed by her voice.
"Aunt Bai, who were those people just now?"
"I don't know, but the person who can use a king-level mage as a guard will definitely not be small. ”
"Are they also going for the auction?"
"Look at their route, nine times out of ten"
