Volume 1 Origin Chapter 293 Night over Erwang Mountain
"He's not simple?" Hearing Xiao Ding's words, Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but laugh.
Thinking of the young man who was frightened by the robbers, and was not ashamed of the ridicule and teasing of the Qingshan Qingyun brothers, Xiao Ling'er felt unspeakable disdain in her heart.
She Xiao Ling'er didn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, she liked to practice martial arts, and she admired and admired in her heart Those heroes who cultivated to be profound and iron-clad, for Wei Xiaobao, a cowardly and timid man, she looked down on him from the bottom of her heart!
"Dad, who you say is not simple, I believe it if it is hidden deeply, but only this Wei Xiaobao, my daughter doesn't believe anything, the breath on his body is clearly an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts!"
Seeing the questioning look on his daughter's face, Xiao Ding couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I guess you won't believe it, in fact, I don't dare to believe it as a father, but when I saw Brother Wei for the first time, I had an intuition that maybe he could help us."
"Your father has only felt this way twice in his life, the first time was twenty years ago, when we were chased by a gang of thieves with your mother, and we fled to a ruined temple, where we met an old beggar dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dirt. ”
"At that time, we were already hungry, there were only two steamed buns on our bodies, the old man begged with us, your mother didn't want to give it, but I insisted on giving him a piece of steamed bread, and your mother and I only shared another piece of steamed bread. ”
As a result, that night, the gang of thieves chased after the door and surrounded the ruined temple, and your mother and I thought we would definitely die, but the beggar actually killed all the thieves in just one cup of tea.
Before leaving, the old man threw all the belongings he had obtained from the thief in front of us, saying only that he was repaying the kindness of the steamed bun, and that my father also used this money to establish the Rising Sun Trading Company.
Xiao Ding's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he said: "The reason why I insisted on giving that piece of steamed bun to that old beggar was not only because I saw him pitiful, but also because when I saw him for the first time, I had an inexplicable intuition that he was our nobleman. ”
"It's been twenty years, and I can't imagine that this feeling is still from such a young man, maybe he is also our nobleman?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er also felt a little incredible, but at the same time, she also felt unbelievable, this so-called intuition was ethereal and couldn't be taken seriously.
"Dad, don't think about it so much, even if we really want to meet a noble person, it will never be that guy's, if you don't like me to be rude to him, I will not see this person in the future. ”
"Hey...... You kid, everything is good, but this temperament is too stubborn, even if Brother Wei is not a hidden master, let's do good deeds and help him!"
Waving his hand, Xiao Ding said, "It's not too early, you better go back and rest first." ”
At that moment, Xiao Ling'er also returned to her camp, and her clothes were lying on the slightly hard straw mat, recalling her father's words, Xiao Ling'er showed a disdainful smile on her pretty face.
"If he can also be a master, then it is estimated that the streets of the world are full of masters, and my father just likes to think nonsense. ”
......
Early in the morning of the second day, everyone in the convoy had breakfast and set off as usual, and Xiang Yun followed behind the convoy on the way, bragging and farting with Lao Chen and several other old guards, drinking and drinking, and had a very pleasant time.
Several people also like this well-known and knowledgeable Brother Wei, and they have only been together for one night, and they actually have a feeling of hating each other.
And Xiao Ling'er didn't come to trouble Xiang Yun again, they and Xu Lao's carriage were in front of the team, and they didn't come to the rear all the way.
On the contrary, the two guys Qingyun and Qingshan came over from time to time and sneered at Xiang Yun, however, Xiang Yun's response was cold and tasteless, and the two of them also felt bored, so they no longer paid attention to Xiang Yun.
Although the convoy is not small and can deter many thieves, there are always bold bandits who want to make a big deal and secretly attack the convoy of the commercial house.
Along the way, there were seven or eight sneak attacks, large and small, although the convoy suffered some casualties, but in the end it was still safe, after all, these guards were the elite of the Rising Sun Trading Company, more than half of them were cloud warriors, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of ordinary robbers and bandits.
In addition, there are Xu Lao Xianren, Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Ding, and Qingyun and Qingshan's senior brothers, so naturally there is no danger, especially Qingyun and Qingshan.
It seems that in order to be able to show their combat strength in front of Xiao Ling'er, every time they encounter roadblock bandits, the two are often the first to rush up and kill the two who work hardest, and as soon as they return to the convoy, they have to show off in front of Xiao Ling'er.
In this regard, Xiao Ling'er, a proud woman, naturally did not pretend at all, when she encountered a group of bandits with a large scale, more than 20 people.
Qingshan and Qingyun brothers worked together to capture the other party's bandit leader, but they couldn't fight for a long time, and they were almost killed by the other party, and they were forced to retreat.
In the end, Xiao Ling'er made a timely move, and killed the bandit leader with only one sword, which made the two brothers blush-faced with shame, and they were no longer embarrassed to show off in front of Xiao Ling'er.
And Xiang Yun, who is hidden in the convoy and acts as a melon-eating crowd, naturally does not need to shoot in every battle.
First, in the eyes of everyone, he is the weakest person in the team, except for all the female dependents, and it is not helpful to participate in the battle, and it is estimated that he will become a burden.
Second, for Xiang Yun himself, he couldn't arouse the slightest interest in these levels of fighting, but when he saw Xiao Ling'er draw his sword, Xiang Yun couldn't help but light up.
Although this woman has a bad temper, her swordsmanship is still good, and she is very talented in the way of swordsmanship.
Today is the third day of the convoy's journey, because there are many obstacles along the way, there are casualties, and there is a lot of delay, but despite this, the official road to Hanchengguan is only more than ten miles away.
Seeing the two mountains towering in front of the road, the atmosphere of the convoy became a little solemn for a while, everyone didn't talk much, Xiang Yun, who had been in the convoy for three days, naturally knew the reason.
I heard that on Erwang Mountain, there is a group of rampant bandits, called "a swarm of bees", they are in groups, lawless, robbing merchants and merchants, bloody and cruel, and have always left no life.
Regarding the name of this gang of bandits, Xiang Yun had already heard of it at the Jade Lady Inn.
And the Rising Sun Commercial Bank has been robbed three times by a swarm of bees, and everyone is about to pass through here, how can there be no reason not to be nervous, fortunately, in this convoy, there are Xu Lao Immortal and Miss Xiao in charge, so that everyone can feel a lot more at ease!
It was still noon, but the convoy was more than ten miles away from Erwang Mountain, hidden in a dense forest, Xiao Ding ordered everyone not to make a fire to cook, only to eat the dry food they carried, drink the water they received, and stay until the early hours of the morning, and then rush through the canyon in one go.
Bandits and robbers have always acted at night and in the evening, but the bandits in the north are different, the temperature is very low at night, the temperature in the mountains is even lower, and there are not many people rushing at night, so they will not be stupid to suffer from the cold in the middle of the night.
In the early hours of the morning, most of these thieves are still drinking wine and eating meat, or sleeping in the kang with the girl who is in the water, so this is the safest time of the day.
Naturally, the people did as they were told, and immediately rested in place and prepared for the night's action.
And Xu Lao Xianren and his two apprentices, as well as Xiao Ding, Xiao Ling'er and other core figures of the team got together again, discussed again, confirmed that the arrangements were in place, and then dispersed.
Subsequently, Xiao Ling'er, Qingshan, and Qingyun inspected the entire convoy, although Xiao Ling'er was a woman, she was quite familiar with these convoy guards, and encouraged and comforted them, which eased everyone's nervousness a little.
Waiting in front of Xiang Yun and the others, Xiao Ling'er said a few words to Lao Chen and them to boost their morale, and then set their eyes on Xiang Yun, hesitated for a long time, Xiao Ling'er finally frowned, and said according to his father's instructions.
"You...... When you set off later, come to our carriage, you can't do any martial arts, and if you encounter danger, you can only wait for death!"
As soon as these words came out, Qingshan and Qingyun's faces suddenly changed slightly, listening to Xiao Ling'er's meaning, is he still worried about the safety of this kid?
"Uh......" Xiang Yun was very speechless, how could this kind of caring words change the taste from this woman's mouth, let him go to Xiao Ling'er and their carriage to sit, Xiang Yun was not happy.
What are you kidding, this woman is not eyes to herself, her nose is not nose, the two are in the same carriage, and the atmosphere does not know what it will be like.
"Thank you Miss Xiao for your kindness, I am used to walking with Brother Chen, so I won't get into the carriage. Xiang Yun immediately and decisively rejected Xiao Ling'er's proposal.
"Hmph...... Life is yours, love doesn't come or not!"
Xiao Ling'er snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving Qingyun and Qingshan in place.
The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, and turned their heads to look at Xiang Yun who looked nonchalant, Qingshan couldn't help but sneer: "I don't know what to do!"
Qingyun also said in a weird manner: "Miss Xiao is kind enough to take care of you and let you get into the carriage to save your life, this is a blessing that others can't ask for, and you dare to refuse, it's really stupid." ”
Xiang Yun frowned, looked up at the two of them and said, "Two, if you want to get into Miss Xiao's carriage, you can just go up by yourself, whether I go or not, it seems that it has nothing to do with you, right?"
"You ......" The two didn't expect Xiang Yun to dare to talk back, choking them enough with one sentence, but the two couldn't find any words to refute.
In the end, the two left angrily, but when they turned around, the two glanced at each other, and their eyes were indescribably cold and vicious!
As night falls, the moon shines high, and the temperature in the camp drops rapidly and rapidly.
Seeing that the night was deep, it was the time for people to sleep quietly in the dead of night, but the convoy of the commercial bank was quickly packing up and ready to go.
